Abstract
The troubling question that one needs to answer is whether the African continent's supply of raw materials, which depends on the functionality and advancement of digital technology, is not a significant contribution to the wave of digital technology the global world faces today. If that is reality, how is it that Africa's contributions to digital technology are not recognized, and who will make the world recognize them? This is a troubling question that needs to be answered. The aim of this chapter is to examine coloniality forces within the Cold War and Neocolonialism events and expose factors emerging from them that have hindered Africa's contributions to the digital technology.
