Or maybe is it that Africans are naturally more violent?
Correlation without causation. Africa is a problem area. Crime will of course be high. There are probably some good people out there committing violent theft to feed their family and there's going to be logical answers behind the how and the what of the statistic. We take that here and we have to believe that it'd be natural that people are on edge. The areas that hold heavily Muslim. You add in a vent to let out some frustration and concerns and away we go. I'm not convinced any other religious population would do much better given all that has impacted the area if you gave them the same problems.

Lack of education, poverty, restriction of human rights, women's rights, etc.
Stop ruling the country under Shariah Law and you'd see a marked improvement.
