Book Synopsis Africa's Great Lakes Region by : Global Health G Subcommittee on Africa
Download or read book Africa's Great Lakes Region written by Global Health G Subcommittee on Africa and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-02 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Lakes region of Africa is troubled. Burundi is experiencing continued turmoil due to a recent contentious election. The Democratic Republic of the Congo, or DRC, has had some level of conflict since the late 1990s. The Lord's Resistance Army, also known as the LRA, has plagued several of these countries. Alleged plundering of DRC resources by Rwanda and Uganda has never been fully resolved. Nations in the region have been preoccupied in the last 2 years with resolving the South Sudanese Civil War. Definitions vary, but the Great Lakes region, as defined by the U.S. Department of State, comprises Burundi, DRC, Rwanda, and Uganda. The region is among the most densely populated in Africa, especially around Lake Victoria, and enjoys rich agricultural potential, water resources, minerals, and wildlife. However, political instability, conflict, humanitarian crises, and lack of development remain key challenges.
Book Synopsis Peace, Security and Post-conflict Reconstruction in the Great Lakes Region of Africa by : Tukumbi Lumumba-Kasongo
Download or read book Peace, Security and Post-conflict Reconstruction in the Great Lakes Region of Africa written by Tukumbi Lumumba-Kasongo and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Lakes region of Africa is characterized by protest politics, partial democratization, political illegitimacy and unstable economic growth. Many of the countries that are members of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) which are: Burundi, Angola, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Sudan, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Zambia, have experienced political violence and bloodshed at one time or another. While a few states have been advancing electoral democracy, environmental protection and peaceful state building, the overall intensity of violence in the region has led to civil wars, invasion, genocide, dictatorships, political instability, and underdevelopment. Efforts to establish sustainable peace, meaningful socio-economic development and participatory democracy have not been quite successful. Using various methodologies and paradigms, this book interrogates the complexity of the causes of these conflicts; and examines their impact and implications for socio-economic development of the region. The non-consensual actions related to these conflicts and imperatives of power struggles supported by the agents of savage capitalism have paralysed efforts toward progress. The book therefore recommends new policy frameworks within regionalist lenses and neo-realist politics to bring about sustainable peace in the region.
Book Synopsis Conflict and Peacebuilding in the African Great Lakes Region by : Kenneth Omeje
Download or read book Conflict and Peacebuilding in the African Great Lakes Region written by Kenneth Omeje and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-06-19 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driven by genocide, civil war, political instabilities, ethnic and pastoral hostilities, the African Great Lakes Region, primarily Uganda, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Burundi, has been overwhelmingly defined by conflict. Kenneth Omeje, Tricia Redeker Hepner, and an international group of scholars, many from the Great Lakes region, focus on the interlocking conflicts and efforts toward peace in this multidisciplinary volume. These essays present a range of debates and perspectives on the history and politics of conflict, highlighting the complex internal and external sources of both persistent tension and creative peacebuilding. Taken together, the essays illustrate that no single perspective or approach can adequately capture the dynamics of conflict or offer successful strategies for sustainable peace in the region.

Book Synopsis Politics, Religion, and Power in the Great Lakes Region by : Murindwa Rutanga
Download or read book Politics, Religion, and Power in the Great Lakes Region written by Murindwa Rutanga and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2011 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book ... focuses on the European invasion of the GLR. It analyses the factors that underlay the invasion, the demarcation process that followed and the indigenous people’s responses to it. What is worth noting is that most of the anti-colonial struggles in the GLR were anchored in religion. Reference is made to the Maji Maji Rebellion, the Nyabingi Movement, the Lamogi Movement, Dini Ya Misambwa and the different independent churches that arose in the GLR during colonialism. Even the more secular Mau Mau Movement integrated religious cultural practices in its bondings through oath taking. The most pronounced was the Nyabingi Movement, which covered almost the whole region – Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, DRC and Uganda ... This work investigates why [the groups] resisted, the nature of their resistance and the reasons why they were defeated. It explains why and how the European colonisation of this region created material conditions and seeds for thesubsequent recurrent conflicts in the GLR."--Page 6.

Book Synopsis Political Trends in the African Great Lakes Region by : Judith Vorrath
Download or read book Political Trends in the African Great Lakes Region written by Judith Vorrath and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2010 and 2011, sub-Saharan Africa has seen a wave of general elections. This report highlights the political development indicated by the recent round of elections in the African Great Lakes, a region that has long been associated with intense warfare and violence. Despite improvements in security and some socioeconomic achievements, the political revolution in the region since the last round of elections between 2003 and 2006 shows worrying trends. Clear signs of electoral authoritarianism are coupled with new divisions and increasing fragmentation. The report argues that these trends sow the seeds for repeated exclusion and instability and should thus be a serious concern for international actors.
Book Synopsis The Dynamics of Violence in Central Africa by : Rene Lemarchand
Download or read book The Dynamics of Violence in Central Africa written by Rene Lemarchand and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2012-04-18 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Endowed with natural resources, majestic bodies of fresh water, and a relatively mild climate, the Great Lakes region of Central Africa has also been the site of some of the world's bloodiest atrocities. In Rwanda, Burundi, and the Congo-Kinshasa, decades of colonial subjugation—most infamously under Belgium's Leopold II—were followed by decades of civil warfare that spilled into neighboring countries. When these conflicts lead to horrors such as the 1994 Rwandan genocide, ethnic difference and postcolonial legacies are commonly blamed, but, with so much at stake, such simple explanations cannot take the place of detailed, dispassionate analysis. The Dynamics of Violence in Central Africa provides a thorough exploration of the contemporary crises in the region. By focusing on the historical and social forces behind the cycles of bloodshed in Rwanda, Burundi, and the Congo-Kinshasa, René Lemarchand challenges much of the conventional wisdom about the roots of civil strife in former Belgian Africa. He offers telling insights into the appalling cycle of genocidal violence, ethnic strife, and civil war that has made the Great Lakes region of Central Africa the most violent on the continent, and he sheds new light on the dynamics of conflict in the region. Building on a full career of scholarship and fieldwork, Lemarchand's analysis breaks new ground in our understanding of the complex historical forces that continue to shape the destinies of one of Africa's most important regions.
Book Synopsis The State of Peace and Security in East Africa by : Manasseh Wepundi
Download or read book The State of Peace and Security in East Africa written by Manasseh Wepundi and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study began with the postulation that to understand peace and security in East Africa, one has to understand the systemic basis of peace and security in the subregion. The pursuit of this understanding necessarily means the broadening of the geographical scope to examine the dynamics of both the Great Lakes region and the Horn of Africa. Where individual countries have improved in their levels of peacefulness - especially Rwanda's remarkable example - sub-regional dynamics are proving more challenging, especially given diplomatic rivalries such as Rwanda-Uganda; Burundi-Rwanda; Kenya-Tanzania; Kenya-Somalia; and regional interests in South Sudan. Thus, the region remains fragile despite progress in governance and development indicators in some of the countries. The prominent peace and security challenges include violent extremism; insurgency; electoral conflict; resource-based conflicts (including low to medium scale intercommunity conflicts and low to high scale conflicts over extractives); a prevalence of illicit small arms and light weapons; difficulty achieving social cohesion; and the persistence of cultures of violence..."
Book Synopsis Reimagining Security Communities by : Francis Onditi
Download or read book Reimagining Security Communities written by Francis Onditi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-24 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book utilizes a systems thinking perspective to propose a holistic framework of analysis and practice for the regional security community (“RSC”) arrangement in Africa. In responding to the challenge of improving effectiveness of response to peace and security threats, African states tend to rely on ad hoc mechanisms. However, this approach has been mired with a myriad of structural limitations. The holistic framework reconfigures the traditional “RSC” into a simplified tool kit of “resources”, making this text book ideal for students and advanced researchers in international relations, and all those concerned with regional security and strategic studies.
Book Synopsis Unfinished Business by : Rigobert Minani Bihuzo
Download or read book Unfinished Business written by Rigobert Minani Bihuzo and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflict in Africa's Great Lakes region persists because of a complex mixture of regional politics, financial incentives, ethnic polarization, and weak and illegitimate governance. Previous peace agreements have made important contributions to stability but have only been partly successful because they have not addressed some key conflict drivers. Given the regional nature of the instability, international actors, especially those in Europe and the United States that provide significant financial support to governments in the Great Lakes, are vital to achieving a comprehensive settlement.
