- W3149303210 abstract "This chapter seeks to investigate guns and its age usage in African conflict and suggest strategies of not only reducing the age usage of guns but also a reduction of conflicts on the African continent in order to stimulate growth and development. The John Burton Human Needs Theory is adopted here to analyse the availability and usage of guns by youth in African conflicts. The analysis of the data shows that, a greater percentage of the world’s youthful population is from Africa and the problem facing the youth in Africa is essentially a societal crisis of exploitation and unmet needs which manifest in form of youth unemployment, lack of economic opportunities, lack of educational opportunities, high poverty rate and health challenges which are caused by high rate of criminality, state collapse and civil war, elite power struggle, radicalization and extremism, colonial and post-colonial policies of exploitation. This problem is exacerbated by the massive availability of Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALWs). It is recommended that governments of African States should stop paying lip services to issues of governance and formulate and sustain policies that would address the socio-economic problems confronting the increasing youthful population. Harnessing the youth bulge productively and effectively could lead to prolonged economic growth and substantial poverty reduction. This will reduce inequality and meet a greater portion of the needs of the people, thereby enhancing the prospects for social cohesion and stability. It is also recommended that sources of guns to the youth should be blocked and those found violating such provisions which be prosecuted as well as youth found with SALWs." @default.
