"AFRICA AND DECOLONIZATION"

The historical process that put an end to the colonial system in the world, during which attained their political independence the colonies that had been under the imperialist domination of the European powers in Africa has been called "decolonization". "Decolonization is the process of settlement of the colonial system in the world and the creation of CIS in former dependent territories.

The most important stages of African decolonization met between 1956 and 1962; These few years they were enough to put an end to a form of domination that was established during a century.

The lack of large groups of homogeneous population in race, culture, religion, etc, has caused tribal clashes and, in a large number of new countries, personal dictatorships, faced with the impossibility of that work a liberal system. The effects of colonization - lack of culture, economic and social backwardness--became evident in the independent countries.

Africa is still depending on structures and ideas of others to it, not by an inability to generate its own governance mechanisms, but once again by the imposition of the white domain. Economic dependence on EE.UU and Europe did not permit new States, to solve the problems caused by the colonization.

Currently Africa, increasingly populated, overcrowded cities, the difficulty of access to drinking water, have favoured the spread of multiple epidemics. Ill family members may not continue working and thus do not transmit the knowledge of culture to the next generation. The vicious cycle continues.
In this context of misery, the deterioration of the family structure is such that we found cases of parents who sell their children. It is ironic to know that, in the West, there are countless organizations that try to stop parents selling their children, the communities continue to disintegrate and that hunger causes thousands of deaths.

According to my opinion the Western economic policies profit from the life of an entire continent. Provides an example the privatization of a well of necessities like water, making it impossible to get it much of the population. In Mozambique, 660,000 people are apart from this resource.

Africa dreamed of freedom from the colonial powers, the movements of liberation fought by any means, to decide and manage their future. Years later the exploitation is so brutal that question is fellow, was there really a decolonization?.
