Description
The threats to peace in Africa largely come not throughinterstate war but through conflict within nations. Peace in Africa will come only when Africans create and maintain diplomatic and military methods of keeping it. This report analyzes the myriad obstacles to conflict prevention in Africa and suggests those which might be susceptible to short- and medium-term removal. Africa's security situation will continueto deteriorate unless the nations of Africa take charge.
