Africans are divided by tribalism, a name that sems to demean them. Other parts of the world are divided by ethnics or religeon. I remembeer watching a movie recently where the colonial power had artificially created a new tribe based on thier own artificial concept, they were racially identical. But it created violent clashes. I think it was the Belgian part of Africa.
