DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DIRECT AND INDIRECT RULE
The direct rule did not use traditional African rulers in their implementation of their policies while indirect rule used African chiefs.
Direct rule experienced resistances due to their harsh and brutal treatment, especially what practiced by German while Indirect rule did not face great resistance because African traditional rulers involved in the colonial administration and they were loyal to the African.
Direct rule encountered difficulties especially in the mobilizing of Africans to perform their colonial duties while the Indirect rule was easy to be implemented because African chiefs were responsible for mobilizing their subjects to participate in various colonial tasks.
Indirect rule system had fewer costs of administration compared to direct rule that required many Europeans to perform all tasks of Administrations.
Despite all the differences stated both administration systems were created in order to safeguard the interest of the colonialists and not to benefit the Africans.
Me too Ican't understand
