African Boarders are exciting but deep matters to be talked about. Several matters could be discussed about borders in Africa Those matters could be triggered by conflict of induced by religion. Other reasons are colonial by nature by nature or are fueled by separatist problems.
African states: Nigeria and Cameroon put into effect the March 11, 1913 agreement between countries Germany and Britain regarding the ownership of the swampy lands in that region of Africa. The agreement between Nigeria and Cameroon is about Nigeria formally handing over the Bakassi peninsula to Cameroon. Verification was shown by both Cameroon and Nigeria to aid the World Court in settling territorial disputes.
Residents of the Bakassi peninsula have very much articulated their desire to be a part of the Nigerian region compared to that of Cameroon's. The Bakassi peninsula was never a topic of interest until rich oil deposits were discovered in that part of Africa. Nigeria is showing its respects regarding the rules of international law about territorial matters.
Borders in Africa is not a topic to be talked about and taken lightly. Boarders in Africa has a lot of countries concerned, ethnic groups behind it and various reasons of disputes.
Africa's unstable years during the 1960's and 1970's has faded; however, Africa still has areas in turmoil about its borders. When the first African leaders guaranteed that they would maintain European-drawn borders, the promise of coups, counter-coups, and war threats relaxed. But this problem has the promise that it will clash with the sentiments of the majority of the African population.
In Kenya there are not 20-plus separatist groups. The latest separatist movement in record is the Mombasa Republican Council, a Kenyan separatist group. Angola has a different story; it is a contrived nation with made of 10 different ethnic groups who do not share the same history and sense of nationhood. This is probably the reason for separatist groups and secessionist movement is Angola and Kenya today.
Sudan's 2011 partition is a clear example of a famously poor demarcation of a particular state that enclosed an immense religious and ethnic coverage. Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo have chosen to band together to engage in competition against each other for resources and power.
Division in Africa is not defined clearly in the cleanest possible lines; it is complicated and at times controversial. This chapter in Africa's history is a movement towards its quest for independence, tranquility and development.
