So, if you want to ask "why does [x] country in Africa look like that" the answer is Europe.

I thought it was also because in the post colonial era the various african countries specifically decided to focus on nation-state building in the existing borders instead of opening the likely pandora's box of 'fixing' borders to something more 'natural'.
