In Africa the 60's was an era of struggle for liberation as the nations of this continent battled colonialism and exploitation directed by world imperialist powers.  Inspired by the example of the Cuban Revolution's fight against US imperialism many rebeled.

The developed nations mostly directed by the US, supported and financed all those corrupt dictators who served their interests.
