Peace has remained elusive in Africa. The continent continues to be riddled with insecurity and
\nconflicts that are tearing it apart and stalling its development prospects. Beyond the legacies of
\ncolonialism, case studies in this volume highlight different causes and dimensions of insecurity,
\nconflict, conflict management mechanisms and peacebuilding efforts in Africa. Clashes over
\nidentity differences and weak governance structures remain sources of the concern. To solve the
\nconflicts, communities have often resorted to the traditional African ways and the modern system
\nbased on western rules. Various ways of effecting peace-making and peace building and the
\nweaknesses of the current peacekeeping methods are explored.<\/p>\n
