This is for a few reasons. Firstly, Africans don't view themselves as Africans (most of them don't). They view themselves as from x tribe or y country. Because of this, much hostility is shared between groups, and so cooperating to harvest these things wouldn't be the easiest. Secondly, the Scramble for Africa basically ruined most chances Africa had of becoming a power, because the European nations came in & exploited most of the continent. Hope this helps!
Name two geographic obstacles and one political obstacle that stood in the way of the construction of the Panama Canal.
Answer: The two geographic obstacles that stood in the way of the construction of the Panama Canal was that Panama was very mountainous, and there were a lot of mud slides. One political obstacle was that Panama was part of Colombia. The united states had to negotiate with Colombia before Panama became independent. Engineers had to build a dam, design and build locks, and remove huge amounts of earth and rock in order to overcome the geographical obstacles.
I hope it helps, Regards.
