Dynamics of Post-Cold War Violent Conflicts in Africa and Humanitarian Interventions

Abstract

Violent conflict and the power of armed non-state actors persist as anxious surgencies in 21st century in Africa region. Organized violence has also shocked a group of youngsters and young grownups, throughout local societies, devastated teaching and healthcare systems, disturbed conveyance ways and substructure, and done untold injury to the landmass's biology. The twin strategy examinations are to endorse conflict resolve procedures and to recognise who can stand up to equipped non-state actors when the host government's security forces showing sufficient. The horrible and appalling nature of violence in Africa with its attendant trans-border effects attracted intervention from the international communities with intention of rescuing civilians and restoring peace and order. Records of recurrent peacekeeping interventions has shown that approaches are rather curative, which are geared towards a mere violence mitigation than a holistic conflict prevention mechanism. Most studies on humanitarian intervention focused largely on post-conflict intervention and this study attempts to critique this post-cold war posture and argue for a humanitarian intervention based on conflict prevention.
