Conflict can be defined as a relationship between two or more parties which can be both individuals and groups who have or think that they have incompatible goals.

three conditions which led to the failure of United Nations (UN) peacekeeping attempts to resolve conflict in Angola. After Angola became independent from the Portuguese in 1975, the Angolan Civil War that followed lasted from 1975 to 2002, killing an estimated 800,000 people and displaced nearly 4 million from their homes (Political Economy Research Institute, no date). To help resolve the conflict, the United Nations (UN) intervened and carried out peacekeeping operations in Angola. Margaret Carey

breeding ground for militants and ‚impoverished ethnic groups‛ for some years now. This is because the discovery of oil and its exploitation has ushered in a miserable, undisciplined, decrepit, and corrupt form of ‘petro-capitalism’ which produces conflict accelerating factors. Devastated by the ecological costs of oil spillage and the highest gas flaring rates in the world, the Niger Delta has become a centre of violence. In an attempt to solve the Niger Delta crisis, the Federal Government recently
Militarization is the process where a group of people or a society organizes itself for military conflict and violence by amassing weapons and regrouping. The government may seek support and equip foreign groups by militarizing it if its army is unable to repel invasion on its own without support. A good example is when Guinean army was unable to repel invasion by the Macenta and Guekedou combatants who were initially refugees in Guinea between the year 2000 and 2001 and the Guinean government sought
the importance to Venezuela of respect for the international rule of law to the maintenance of international peace and security. Throughout human history, war and conflict have caused untold suffering that have hindered social development and economic progress. The prevention of conflicts has therefore always been a shared objective of the international community. Ensuring and maintaining peace as a principle and fundamental right are critical to implement in order to establish better condition to all
restoration of sustainable peace after violent conflict remains one of the major challenges worth taking up in post-conflict peacebuilding. The analyses of multiple experiments at peacebuilding reveal frequent failures or mixed results at best (Dobbins et al. 2007; Paris, 2004; Duffield, 2007; Ismail, 2008). That is why Krause and Jutersonke (2005:448) concludes that “not only do about half of all peace support operations (including both peacekeeping and more expansive peace building operations) fail
This chimpanzee in the picture is going to get ants to eat. They use a grass as a tool to catch ants. They know it’s difficult to catch ants using own hands, but to use that tool makes easier. Chimpanzee is said that intelligence is about 4 years old for human beings. In solving something like a human being, they use their own brains and think about it, and use resources as tools to produce better results more efficiently. So, how about us? Usually, we face many problems just by being alive. If
who lost loved ones in conflicts. A word which brings people together yet a word which forces families apart. A word which aims to make wars a thing of the past, yet a word that is the cause of all wars. Peace. Why is peace so difficult to comprehend? Perhaps the reason is because people have various definitions of peace and how we can go about to achieve it. Moreover, the civil war in Syria and the threat of North Korean nuclear missiles has lead to more discourse about peace and war. With so many
The theory has helped fuel the debate on the causes of war and peace, and according to Rosato, the Democratic Peace Theory is flawed (599). Furthermore, Rosato defines the theory as a post-World War II phenomenon, and therefore limits the temporal applicability (599). Explanations by Rosato of the peaceful interactions between democratic states involve the threat of the Soviet Union and the dominant power of the United States. These conditions lead to initiatives like the North Atlantic Treaty, which
