(the late, but growing empires of west Africa)

While Africa was late to development – for geographic reasons, there were three proto-empires in west Africa prior to the colonial period.

This is the non-false ‘we was kangs’ argument of west Africans. No it was not an advanced empire. But nor were any most early empires outside of the fertile crescent.

And yes, colonialism interrupted their growth and left the region as it did the middle east, a chaos of artificial borders.

Germany had 350 states. The middle east should have dozens. Africa should have a thousand.

A thousand nations must bloom.
