Abstract

Conflicts in Africa come in different forms because of complex interplay of historical, political, economic and social factors which can be classified into several distinct types. These include civil wars which are internal conflicts between organised groups within a state. Others include ethnic and sectarian conflicts, resource-based conflicts, political conflicts and power struggles, terrorism and insurgencies, border and territorial disputes, rebel movements and guerrilla warfare and separatists and secessionists movements. Most of these conflicts have deep colonial roots dating back to the 1950s and 1960s when most African countries were gaining their independence from their former colonial powers.
