None can conquer a people effortlessly without an effective collaboration from within. This is however not to say that Africans themselves do not have any iota of blame in the conflicts ravaging the continent. No matter how one tries to see modern day conflicts in Africa, one cannot separate such conflicts from external influences. Modern day conflicts in Africa came to be after the colonization of the continent. These were conflicts that took place in pre-colonial Africa.
Also, Kingdoms fought wars to defend themselves from external aggression. The Songhai Empire, Kanem-Bornu Empire among others come to mind. These people lived in Kingdoms and empires, waged wars against less powerful Kingdoms and empires, conquered them and annexed them as part of their own Kingdom. Historically, Africa is made of people with deep sense of attachment to their cultures. Africa as a continent has seen lots of conflicts and she still witnesses conflicts in various dimensions till this day.
