What do you mean by Post colonial? The shia/Sunnah spilt happened 1300 years ago! The modernday borders where Shia and Sunnah mix have been that way since that time. This is not Africa where arbitrary borders were drawn up by white masters in Europe! In fact the Middle east Islamic world was one of the few places where Europe had NO colonies because of the Ottoman empire. The modern day borders have to do more with Tribal affilitations and old broken Califates than any imperialist interference.
