What is it about?
We dare to believe that colonialism is not a theme of the past, but of daily African socio-political and economic life, the objective of my anticolonial expressions explained here. I dare to believe that the presidency of an African country is a channel through which colonialism resonates while the person who occupies it serves as a medium, the African president, the black neo-colonist more precisely. These preparatory arguments, the preconceptions in the approach to the "theory of tribalism" do not allow Western influence to escape. We all agree that such influence is a colonial dissuasion which blurs the real meaning of tribalism as an anti-value according to the African context. This concept is an assessment of colonial interference to better constitute meaningful hypotheses as foundations of African tribalism, its true sense, the return to the lost identity of the black man.

Why is it important?
The importance of such theory pre-concepts reveals the curiosity of an educational perspective to better identify the causes of social division between African peoples. We are in an anti-colonial reading of facts, which hesitates before nothing and only engages the desire to further reveal the evil that makes our African root a shadow of ourselves, a colonial intelligence which covers all the evils of African peoples. Its importance is to reconstruct anticolonial ideological trajectories, the reasons why we propose these theory pre-concepts on neocolonialism. We will therefore dare to prove the roots of the weaknesses of democracy in Africa and its cruelty, an ideology anchored in colonialism whose similarities are in practices and ideologies.
Perspectives
We will eventually be able to understand the foundations of African political divisions while elucidating the bases of the political incompetence of African leaders. I would like to denounce certain modes of operation of colonialism that we tend to ignore, such as the presidency, the country-system, false independence and the rise of African neo-independentists. In such an approach, it is easy to lay the foundations for a future political and ideological margin of more-than-sovereign African countries.
