Answer:
The answer to the question: Did nations in Africa with strong central governments achieve more stability than those with less autocratic governments?, the answer is, yes.
Explanation:
Almost from the very beginning, one of the most prominent problems in Africa was then diverse number of tribes, systems of government and systems of belief that existed, and which constantly caused division and conflict among the different peoples of the continent. This is one of the reasons why, when the Europeans arrived, they were able to conquer Africa so fast and so completely. When European colonization ended, many African nations were faced with caos, disorder and much more conflict than when they had been under European rule, mostly because there was a lack of unity, and no consensus on how, and who should rule each nation. With the establishment of stronger central governments, like in the case of South Africa, or Cape Verde, whose governments are strong, democratic and centralized, a level of development was reached that has not been seen in other, less centralized, less strong systems of government. This is because the central governments in these nations brought together, and unified, those things that initially divided Africans, and thus, managed to gain control of what had once been caos.
