- W2247996553 abstract "Although there was euphoria in the 1990s about the return to democratic rule in many African countries, the realities on the ground, after over two decades of transition to civil rule suggests increasing local frustrations and anxiety about the prospects for consolidation, human security and inclusive development. Several countries that transited from either military autocracy or one party rule have witnessed the erosion of not only civil and political rights; but even more disturbing, the outbreak of violent conflicts. Countries such as Cote d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Kenya, DR-Congo and Zimbabwe have all witnessed violent conflicts that have led to ethnic cleansing, war crimes and displacement of the citizenry. What are the causes and implications of these developments to the trajectory of democratization in Africa? This paper interrogates the root causes of political violence in post-colonial Africa by arguing that: while the return to democratic rule may have opened the political space, it has paradoxically unleashed identity driven violence that threaten to undermine the nation-building project in the continent. I draw empirical data through the case study of Nigeria to substantiate the theoretical claims in the paper." @default.
