dc.description.abstractIn Africa, there are no Berlin walls to separate one country from another. The boundaries, artificial lines drawn by the Scramblers for Africa, do not separate these countries in a physical sense. In the great scramble, no thought was given to the African people as the Europeans went to work on the 'sumptuous African cake'. Their interest was in real estate and it did not matter that the `knife' cutting the African soil was also separating families, separating fathers from their children and setting a brother against another. The negative impact of colonialism in political terms was quite dramatic and devastating. African states lost their powers, independence and meaning irrespective of whether they were big empires or small entities. And what is more, most if not all the African countries have not fully and truly recovered from the attendant effects of colonialism that resulted from the border crisis. In the light of the above, the article seeks to identify the effects of border or boundary crisis in Africa. It also traces some emerging issues and proffers solutions to the lingering border problems on the continent.en_US
