Book excerpt: Small arms dominate conflicts in Africa. More people die in wars in Africa than in any other continent. In cattle raiding the AK47 has replaced the spear. This book answers the questions of why so many small arms are circulating in North-East Africa and how they are affecting peace in these countries. Kennedy Mkutu proposes an integrated regional approach in which improved security, community involvement and economic development precede and accompany disarmament.

Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Small Arms and Conflicts in Africa written by Usman A. Tar and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-05 with total page 1043 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides critical analyses of the theory and practices of small arms proliferation and its impact on conflicts and organized violence in Africa. It examines the terrains, institutions, factors and actors that drive armed conflict and arms proliferation, and further explores the nature, scope, and dynamics of conflicts across the continent, as well as the extent to which these conflicts are exacerbated by the proliferation of small arms. The volume features rich analyses by contributors who are acquainted with, and widely experienced in, the formal and informal structures of arms proliferation and control, and their repercussions on violence, instability and insecurity across Africa. The chapters dissect the challenges of small arms and light weapons in Africa with a view to understanding roots causes and drivers, and generating a fresh body of analyses that adds value to the existing conversation on conflict management and peacebuilding in Africa. With contributions from scholars, development practitioners, defence and security professionals and civil society activists, the handbook seeks to serve as a reference for students, researchers, and policy makers on small arms proliferation, control and regulation; defence and security practitioners; and those involved in countering violence and managing conflicts in Africa.

Download or read book Nomads in the Shadows of Empires written by Gufu Oba and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-07-11 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Nomads in the Shadows of Empires Gufu Oba presents accounts of why the legacies of banditry and ethnic conflicts have proved so difficult to resolve along the southern Ethiopian and northern Kenyan frontier. Using interpretative and comparative methods to dialogue the relationships between different political actors on both sides of the frontier, the work captures the dynamics of political events related to imperial contests over borders and trans-frontier treaty. A complex evolution of inter-societal relations, as well as the relations between partitioned nomads and the imperial states had resulted in persistent conflicts. This work improves the understanding why frontier pastoralists continue to experience conflict over land, even after the transfer of the tribal territories to the imperial and postcolonial states.

This book was released on 2023-03-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Conflicts and Small Arms Proliferation The proliferation and use of small arms have had a devastating impact on Africa's security for decades, plunging nations into bloody conflicts that have claimed countless lives, destroyed communities, and sparked humanitarian crises. In this compelling book, the author provides a detailed account of how small arms have fueled African conflicts, examining their origins, spread, and proliferation, and their impact on peace and stability in the region. The book highlights how African nations have become the dumping ground for millions of cheap, readily available firearms from various sources, including rogue arms dealers, illicit arms trafficking networks, and even domestic manufacturers. Despite numerous global initiatives aimed at controlling the proliferation of small arms in conflict zones, the author emphasizes that the likelihood of succeeding in this fight is minimal unless there is a concerted effort to address the root causes of violence and disentangle the complex web of socio-economic, political, and cultural factors that create conditions of instability and violence. The book concludes by offering several recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders on ways to mitigate the impact of small arms and promote peace and security in Africa. Overall, Small Arms and African Conflicts is a carefully researched and thought-provoking book that offers a compelling account of a deadly phenomenon that has plagued the African continent for far too long. It is an essential read for scholars, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of African conflicts and the role of small arms in fueling violence and undermining stability on the continent.

Download or read book Borders Borderlands as Resources in the Horn of Africa written by Dereje Feyissa and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2010 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Borders offer opportunities as well as restrictions, and in the Horn of Africa they are used as economic, political, identity and status resources by borderland peoples. State borders are more than barriers. They structure social, economic and political spaces and as such provide opportunities as well as obstacles for the communities straddling both sides of the border. This book deals with the conduits and opportunities of state borders in the Horn of Africa, and investigates how the people living there exploit state borders through various strategies. Using a micro level perspective, the case studies, which includethe Horn and Eastern Africa, particularly the borders of Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, focus on opportunities, highlight the agency of the borderlanders, and acknowledge the permeabilitybut consequentiality of the borders.
