As simply put as possible with an answer relevant to the recent past (last hundred years): Warfare. Nearly the entirey of the continent of Africa in the last 100 years has either been in a state of pre-war, post-war, war, or civilwar.
The results of all these wars is a on-again, off-again pulses of human migration from/to the conflicting regions to the non-conflicting regions (which tend to then usually destablize and become conflict zones in return).
As such, modern africa very heavily resembles from a socio-political structure the european feudal period with warlords effectively holding control of sub-regions of nations where they’re “protecting” the people…and while the lucky select few profit and establish personal wealth and security, those under them do not.
