Strategizing for Sustainable Peace and Security Model in Africa: Rethinking Hybridization

Abstract

There is a growing concern over the reckless marginalization of traditional African indigenous peace mechanisms by Africans in favour of Western models, and its consequent liability for the upsurge of intractable conflicts and insecurity in contemporary Africa. In this paper, we discuss strategies for overcoming these contemporary peace and security challenges confronting our societies. Models for forging robust security management and conflict resolutions are proposed.

Keywords: Peace, Security, Africa, Conquest.
