was merely a façade, since the former imperialist powers were simply
replaced by authoritarian, repressive and cruel dictators, all of whom
maintained close links with the former imperialist powers, namely the
western countries of today. Therefore, independence did not bring
freedom to these countries, but rather made them suffer greater poverty
and violence under even more repressive regimes than the colonialist
ones. Under these circumstances, people united to fight against the
dictatorial regimes. Meanwhile, the dictators provoked some of the ethnic
groups, destabilized their respective countries and took advantage of this
disorder.
In Rwanda, a war between two of its tribes, the Hutus and Tutsis, is a
typical example of the clashes taking place between races in the 20th
Century. The two tribes became involved in this war in the spring of 1994.
The effect of the clashes extended over a region comprising five countries
including Zaire, Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi and Tanzania.
In this region riddled with corruption, the independence of 1960
hardly brought any relief from the political pressure of the imperial
western states. Joseph Mobutu Sese Seko, backed by the US, seized power
in 1964 and made all the natural resources of his country available to
America. Hardly devising anything to
contribute to the welfare of his people,
Mobutu merely accumulated a personal
fortune over the years, and resorted to
despotic measures to suppress the
demands of his people.

Mobutu paid $12,000 to
each of his ministers while
a teacher made only $8 a
month. His personal
fortune, excluding his real
estate, was about
$5,000,000.
