Question

Which of the following is one reason why democracies in sub-Saharan Africa tend to be fragile?

People in sub-Saharan Africa do not have any democratic institutions.

The population in many countries is too low to support national elections.

Ethnic conflicts, made worse by poorly-drawn borders, destabilize many attempts at government.

People in sub-Saharan Africa believe that democratic institutions are being pushed on them by the West.

Answer 1

The answer is that "Ethnic conflicts, made worse by poorly-drawn borders, destabilize many attempts at government." This is the answer because Africa has a long history of colonization and this colonization led to poorly drawn borders by Europeans that caused ethnic and religious conflict.
