The imposition of colonial rule and state by the metropolitan bourgeoisie and its attendant contradiction embedded in exploitation of the colony led to a bourgeois revolution in the colony which led to the establishment of a bourgeois state, and the attendant legal and institutional framework.
The basic problem of the post-colonial state stems from the fact that it was not created by an ascendant indigenous bourgeoisie, rather by the foreign imperialist bourgeoisie, which continues to extend its influence on the post-colonial state after independence because of its links with the bureaucratic, military and political elites.
The contemporary African state inherited essential characteristics of the colonial state which was exported to Africa, fused together in related institutions which consist of mainly instrument of violence and coercion and they follow sequentially: (a) the military and police; (b) the judiciary (c) the bureaucracy.

Just like the political associations which preceded it historically, the state is a relationship of rule (Herrschaft) by human beings over human beings, and one that rests on the legitimate use of violence (that is, violence that is held to be legitimate).
For the state to remain in existence, those who are ruled must submit to the authority claimed by whoever rules at any given time.
In other words, the inherent inequalities in the use of state apparatus by the Muslims to protect Islamic interests have burdened the Christians with spectacular ethical commitment to unseat their rivals and wrest the control of the state itself.
