What were the issues faceing the democratic republic of congo and kenya as they achieved independence and what paths did those countries take

1) Lack of Infrastructure

One of the most pressing challenges faced by Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo states at Independence was their lack of infrastructure.

2) Energy Dependence

The lack of infrastructure meant that  Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo countries were dependent on Western economies for much of their energy. Even oil-rich countries did not have the refineries needed to turn their crude oil into gasoline or heating oil.

3) Inexperienced Leadership

There was also a distinct lack of trained and experienced civil leadership in Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo due to lack of education which resulted in the misuse of resources, corruption.

4) Cold War

Finally, decolonization coincided with the Cold War, which presented another challenge for Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The push and pull between the United States (US) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) made non-alignment a difficult, if not impossible, option, AS leaders who tried to carve third way generally found they had to take sides.
