Most of the leaders like Idi Amin and others were supported by political leaders of one country or another. Idi Amin was supported by Russia.
wiki says about Robert Mugabe: "Mugabe has described his critics as "born again colonialists,"[7][8] and both he and his supporters claim that Zimbabwe's problems are the legacy of imperialism,[9] aggravated by Western economic meddling."
"In 1994 Mugabe was bestowed an honorary Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath by Queen Elizabeth II. This entitles him to use the postnominal letters KCB, but not to use the title "Sir." UK Foreign Affairs Select Committee called for the removal of this honour in 2003, but no action has yet been taken.[109]
He also holds several honorary degrees and doctorates from various international universities, though in June 2007, he became the first international figure ever to be stripped of an honorary degree by a British university, when the University of Edinburgh withdrew the degree awarded to him in 1984."

I entirely disagree on this. African tribes are considered to be one of the oldest tribes on earth. So inventing tribes is out of question.
Yes in few countries due to extreme torture towards the residents by the EU rulers, few military groups were formed to oppose the rulers then. After the rulers left their colonies, they came to the power.
Moreover who provided them with mines and AK47's? I don't even want to answer this question. I hope you are clever enough to find an answer.
