Power Sharing And Conflict Manageivent In Africa: Nigeria, Sudan And Rwanda

Subscribe to read and download this work.

ABSTRACT

Most of the conflicts on the African continent centre on disagreement over the

sharing of power among the ethnic groups of the constituent states. While the civil war

in Sudan has claimed thousands of lives since it started, the ethnic cleansing in Rwanda

has attracted world-wide condemnation. In Nigeria, the fear of northern domination was

heightened by tile annulment of the presidential election of June 12, 1993, won by a

southern politician. The reaction of the international community to this, and the Ogoni

crisis, has turned Nigeria into a commonwealth outcast.
