Many people died as a result of the violence that erupted in The Congo after it gained independence, and they could have saved lives by telling everyone to stay calm and perhaps have everything sorted out and planned before anyone could get hurt. They could do so by deploying military forces to the area to protect people in danger. They should have chosen a leader right away because they had no system of governing or anything like that so if things were getting out of hand they could deal with them right away.
African nations were very dependent on others, so it was challenging for them when they shifted to self-rule. African countries were reliant on Western economies.
