Challenges to peace: Conflict resolution in the Great Lakes region of Africa

Article Abstract:

The conflicts and peace processes in three Great Lakes countries, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo are used to contend that contemporary global frameworks for peacemaking and peace building that rest on the acceptance of neoliberal political and economic models cannot lay the foundations for the conditions necessary for sustainable peace. This necessitates the utilization of a more inclusive concept of peace, the starting point of which has to be the emancipation of African community.
