Conflict Resolution in Africa: Challenges for the International Community, The Organization of African Unity and the Sub- Regional Groups.

Abstract

There were a lot of expectations for a stable world at the end of the cold war. while this is generally true, Africa has experienced more devastating conflicts in the post cold war era. Past efforts to conclusively end these conflicts have proved futile. This paper will give a brief background of the external intervention's influence on the continent's evolution. It will discuss in detail the common causes of the conflicts, highlight the roles of external players, the challenges and roles of the international community, the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and the sub-regional organizations in their resolution.
