Select an African country with a colonial past. (a) Trace its pathway of decolonization; (b) describe and analyze its contemporary relations with its former colonial overseer, being sensitive to the matter of whether a neocolonial relationship has
been established.
Rwanda, for example, was a colony of both Belgium and Germany. Throughout the mid twentieth-century Rwanda achieved its independence, but did so with a struggle. It has had considerable political tensions with neighbors, resulting in a series of armed conflicts and genocides. It retains many connections with its former colonizer—Belgium, but probably not sufficient to be considered in a neocolonial relationship.
