Democratic nations recognize themselves as sharing an identity and are peaceful. Domination is a form of colonialism, no democracy in that type of governance (Prados de la Escosura, 2005; p.9). Colonial rule is ruling in order to control all aspects that constitute a nation, for example; natural resources, finances and businesses. Economic development; controlling the oil revenues in the interest of the people, using finances to develop infrastructure needed within the country for it is underdeveloped. Colonization led to the drainage of wealth and the misuse of the natural resources (Sywester, 2005; p. 89-91).

It’s unfortunate surrounding the circumstances in which Barack Obama had to present this speech, but it’s a speech that will be known as one of the most powerful, moving, inspiring and passionate tribute to someone who was beloved by millions, and will be missed.
Worse, barriers to communication, “obstacles that interrupt the flow of conveying and receiving messages,” had arisen due to the division between the whites and blacks (P.380). Because of this, the future of South Africa was not only misunderstood by South Africans, but by the international community as well.

... and trying to make them cooperate was the biggest flaw of the British colonialism. Then when that didn’t work out, the British developed the North far more than the South, thus creating resentment in the South. With the end of colonialism the British left a nation that was unstable politically and culturally. The region, culture, language, and historical differences between the South and North leads to two civil wars for independence. Which further leads into an ethnic conflict in South Sudan. If no action is taken to bring peace between the two. There is a threat of those ethnicity fighting over resources, which could then potentially lead into a territorial conflict.
