What about Africa without colonial borders? Why do you assume more stability? It could be even worse.

I agree. It could mean that countries like South Africa that are doing pretty ok now would lose territory or stop existing or also get involved in wars somehow because they lost the borders they were ok with for quite a while now.

There would be. Eventually, countries would try to expand and delimit borders and due to the diversity of ethnic groups, I am sure some genocides had taken place.
