Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the problems of sovereignization of unrecognized and partially recognized African states. Western Sahara, Somaliland and Azawad were selected as examples. Special attention is paid to the connection between the colonial territorial entities (including “administrative” tribes and clans) and the attempts to create new states in Africa. The paper discusses possible ways for the development of unrecognized states in Africa, taking into account the problem of phantom borders inherited from the colonial era.
