Genocide, Denial, And Domination: Armenian-Turkish Relations From Conflict Resolution To Just Transformation, Henry C. Theriault
Genocide, Denial, And Domination: Armenian-Turkish Relations From Conflict Resolution To Just Transformation, Henry C. Theriault
Journal of African Conflicts and Peace Studies
This article presents a critical analysis of the general “conflict resolution” approach for improving Turkish-Armenian relations, the latter of which completely broke apart as a result of the Ottoman Turk Genocide of the Armenians (1915-1923). In doing so, it examines past and present Armenian-Turkish relations underlying the approach. Ultimately, the author argues that the forms of the “conflict resolution” model typically proposed and pursued cannot address the root causes of the problems inherent in Turkish-Armenian relations and thus cannot succeed in resolving those problems. The author concludes with recommendations that he believes could lead toward a meaningful resolution of the …

The Responsibility To Protect And Preventing Genocide In The Twenty-First Century, Herbert Hirsch
The Responsibility To Protect And Preventing Genocide In The Twenty-First Century, Herbert Hirsch
Journal of African Conflicts and Peace Studies
As the new century rolls on, as genocide continues in places such as Darfur and the old slogans such as “never again” and others retain the ring of insincerity, new prescriptions emerged as to how genocide is to be prevented in this 21st century. Already, however, the century is not so new and neither are the prescriptions. In order to fully understand the newest of the new ideas, The Responsibility to Protect, it must be placed within the context of international politics and a brief history of prevention in the late Twentieth Century.

Why Men Participate: A Review Of Perpetrator Research On The Rwandan Genocide, Cyanne E. Loyle
Journal of African Conflicts and Peace Studies
In “Why Men Participate: A Review of Perpetrator Research on the Rwandan Genocide,” Cyanne E. Loyle provides a thought-provoking analysis of the existing state of the genocide perpetrator literature. Relying on fieldwork conducted in Rwanda over the past several years, her research contributes to the development of a unified theory of participation in genocide (that is, who participates and why) that can be examined and applied across case.
The Rwandan Genocide: Why Early Warning Failed, Gregory H. Stanton
The Rwandan Genocide: Why Early Warning Failed, Gregory H. Stanton
Journal of African Conflicts and Peace Studies
Early warnings of the Rwandan genocide were ignored because policy makers perceived it as a "civil war," denied the facts, and decided not to intervene, preventing U.S. and U.N. lawyers from calling the killing "genocide." Early reinforcement of UNAMIR could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives, but "group-think" precluded consideration of direct military intervention by the U.S. and allied forces, though they were near Rwanda and rescued their own nationals. Unwilling to financially and militarily support a reinforced UNAMIR, the U.S., U.K. and U.N., the Security Council ordered UNAMIR to leave Rwanda; because they did not consider Rwandan lives …

The Question Of The Recent Expulsion Of Rwandans From Tanzania, Charles Gasarasi
The Question Of The Recent Expulsion Of Rwandans From Tanzania, Charles Gasarasi
Journal of African Conflicts and Peace Studies
From 2000 to 2006, more than 33,000 Rwandan immigrants were expelled from Tanzania. Most of them were expelled without regard to international conventions on rights and duties of countries that host legal or illegal immigrants. Tanzanian authorities accused the expelled persons of illegal settlement and implication in various crimes. The expelled immigrants, on the other hand, deplore acts of injustice, corruption, humiliation and theft of their goods perpetrated against them by Tanzanian local and regional authorities of Kagera Region. A correct diplomacy, facilitated by the Joint Technical Team, set up to resolve the expulsion related problems, has helped to moderate …
Darfur: After The Genocide Comes To An End, Then What?, Samuel Totten
Darfur: After The Genocide Comes To An End, Then What?, Samuel Totten
Journal of African Conflicts and Peace Studies
Eventually, killing, fighting and rape between the various actors will come to a halt. Black Africans, the Government of Sudan and the international community will still be confronted to 7 main challenges: Arabs are now beginning to settle on land that the black Africans were forced off of by the GOS and Janjaweed; the inexorable desertification of more and more land in Darfur; the ever-increasing lack of adequate water sources in Darfur; the issue of reparations; the plight of females raped during the genocidal period, the status of the original complaints by the black Africans and the issue of bringing …
Quelle Lecture Faire Du Processus Electoral En Rdc? Le Cas De La Province Du Nord Kivu, Aloys Tegera
Quelle Lecture Faire Du Processus Electoral En Rdc? Le Cas De La Province Du Nord Kivu, Aloys Tegera
Journal of African Conflicts and Peace Studies
For the first time since 1965, Congolese have elected their representatives and leaders in 2006 and 2007. Beside the fact that the election has punished President the RCD (former rebel movement) in eastern and President Kabila in western parts of the country, the results of the election has increased the identity based tensions within the northern Province of Kivu, already being devastated by poorness of ifs population, by crimes of former Rwandan soldiers, lnterahamwe Militias, DRC soldiers and rebels of Laurent Nkunda. The election has also facilitated the Nande and Hutu tributes to negotiate their own interests regardless to those …

Les Causes De La Crise Actuelle À L'Est De La République Démocratique Du Congo: Etat Des Lieux, Alida Furaha Umutoni
Journal of African Conflicts and Peace Studies
The current crisis in Eastern DRC calls for national and international commitment to be resolved. The author thinks that solution to the crisis implies responses to issues of identity, disarmament of armed groups and land related conflicts. According to the author, issues of governance and failure of peace and security institutions have to be considered as well. All those problems have to be discussed in order to reach durable solutions. Through various recommendations, the author highlights the necessity to respect Human Rights, and various agreements that have been signed and the need for all the communities in Northern Kivu to …
Burundi: Un Processus De Negociation Entre Le Gouvernement Et Le Palipehutu-Fnl Dans L'Impasse, Elias Sentamba
Burundi: Un Processus De Negociation Entre Le Gouvernement Et Le Palipehutu-Fnl Dans L'Impasse, Elias Sentamba
Journal of African Conflicts and Peace Studies
Since 2005, President Nkurunziza has not kept his promise to conclude peace agreement with Palipehutu-FNL. Palipephutu has not given up its ethnist ideology since its foundation. Its fight for the hutu cause has not considered the political change since the Arusha peace agreement. This entailed many political errors which has discredited its paradigm. **Though CNDD-FDD is heading Burundian legitimate political institutions, it is still behaving as an underground movement: use of force to muzzle political opposition and internal dissidents instead of resorting to the rule of law. This illegitimacy is negatively influencing the forthcoming 2010 elections. ***These positions, so poles …

Understanding The Conflicts In The Great Lakes Region: An Overview, Anastase Shyaka
Understanding The Conflicts In The Great Lakes Region: An Overview, Anastase Shyaka
Journal of African Conflicts and Peace Studies
This paper discusses factors underlying internal and international conflicts in the Great Lakes Region of Africa. The systematic analysis of causal factors focuses on the following: Colonial legacy; inadequate political systems and political parties' cleavages; poor management of transitions and foreign negative interferences. It argues that the combination of these factors has led to the recurrence of conflicts and ineffectiveness of peace building instruments. The paper argues further that for sustaining peace and security in the region, there is a need for a paradigm shift in internal and international politics: First, local peace imperatives must prevail over geopolitical interests of …
