It's always fascinating to me that there is a pervasive argument being made in academic circles that Africa (and to some extent the Middle East) is unstable due to straight lines being drawn over lands held by disparate ethnic groups.
And no one questions Western diversity.
This map shows how Africa would look if its borders respected its main tribes and ethnicities, overlaid with today’s actual borders. The tribal/ethnic borders were drawn by George Peter Murdock around 1959 to represent how he understood the ethnic group boundaries of Africa to
