This paper examines women‟s participation and representation in the election process in Rwanda and Zimbabwe, with the goal of identifying best practices that could promote women‟s political representation and participation in the latter. The study is a documentary review of information considered relevant to its aims. Southern African Development Community (SADC) member states were mandated to ensure that women had 50% political representation by 2015; however, Zimbabwean women have not attained this level of representation in the parliament, senate, cabinet and decision making posts in political parties. This can be attributed to structural, institutional and individual barriers. In contrast, Rwanda has over 50% women in its parliament and other decision-making posts; hence the need to learn from Rwanda in terms of its wide-ranging and sustained campaign for women and its strong gender equality political agenda.

Ojukwu’s government looked certain to topple at the beginning of the summer of 1968, yet Biafra held on and did not capitulate until nearly two years later, on 15 January 1970. The Ojukwu regime found itself in a serious predicament; how to maintain support for a war that was increasingly costly to the Igbo people, both in military terms and in the menacing face of the starvation of the civilian population. Further, the Biafran government had to not only mobilize a global public opinion campaign against the “genocidal” campaign waged against them, but also convince the world that the only option for Igbo survival was an independent Biafra.

It is argued that ethnicity is not necessarily incompatible with nationalism and nation-building. Ethnicity and nationalism both play a role in nation-state formation. They are each functional to political stability and, therefore, to civil peace and to the ability of individual Nigerians to pursue their non-political goals. Ethnicity is functional to political stability because it provides the basis for political socialization and for popular allegiance to political actors. It provides the framework within which patronage is institutionalized and related to traditional forms of welfare within a state which is itself unable to provide such benefits to its subjects.

  • Contemporary Igbo Nationalism and the Crisis of Self-Determination In
    CODESRIA 12th General Assembly Governing the African Public Sphere 12e Assemblée générale Administrer l’espace public africain 12a Assembleia Geral Governar o Espaço Público Africano ةيعمجلا ةيمومعلا ةيناثلا رشع ﺣﻜﻢ اﻟﻔﻀﺎء اﻟﻌﺎم اﻹﻓﺮﻳﻘﻰ Contemporary Igbo Nationalism and the Crisis of Self‐ Determination in the Nigerian Public Sphere Godwin Onuoha Graduate School Society and Culture in Motion Martin Luther University, 07-11/12/2008 Yaoundé, Cameroun Introduction One recurrent feature of politics in recent times is the demand of various ethnic nationalities to be politically recognised and affirmed as distinct identities in a plural society. This politics of recognition, which takes the form of ‘nationalism’ or ‘ethno- nationalism’,* has gained momentum with the resurgence of nationalist claims on a global scale. As an outcome of shifting political, social and economic contexts globally, nationalist identities are constantly emerging, re-created and re-defined as groups negotiate their identities and interests in the quest for self-determination. While these tendencies pose grave challenges to the security and sovereignty of the nation-states in which they occur, in some quarters they are positively viewed as legitimate movements for minority rights and self-determination. This is reflected in the manner in which global developments and the crisis of the post-colonial African state opens up the state for interrogation and continues to shape nationalist resurgence and the quest for self- determination. The dominant phenomenon in post-colonial Africa states involves the clash between a homogenizing (Western style) nation-state project characterized by the unresolved crisis of state ownership and contested citizenship on the one hand; and one that advocates a national unity project that upholds the rich multiplicity of plural identities based on negotiation, equity, popular sovereignty, local autonomy, and equal access to power and resources on the other hand.

  • Biafran War (July 6, 1967- January 15, 1970)
    MADMUN XI Biafra Cabinet The Nigerian Civil War— Biafran War (July 6, 1967- January 15, 1970) History: How It All Began. The colonization of African nations by imperialist European nations is no new history. By the 1900s, much of Africa had been colonized by seven nations: Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, and Italy. Britain, though centered in the Southern and Eastern regions of Africa had taken into liking the vast resources and land the soon to be Nigeria had. In 1914, through the efforts of Sir Frederick Lurgard, the northern and southern protectorates were combined and named Nigeria with Lagos as its capital. Named by Lurgard’s wife, Flora Shaw, the name Nigeria pays homage to the discovery of the River Niger. While the British commemorated this new nation, they disregarded the difference in customs, values and policies of these two regions. The effects of their ignorance factored into play during the time of Nigeria’s Independence on October 1, 1960. Nigeria, though made up of over 50+ entities, consisted mainly of the Igbo who made up 70% of the population in the South-East; the Yoruba who made up 75% of the South-West; and the Hausa-Fulani who made up 65% in the Northern part of Nigeria. With differences in cultural, social, and regional demographics, these ethnicities set out to live different lives in their respective regions: The Yoruba were ruled by the Obas (leaders stemming from the Benin Kingdom) who gave way for social mobility. Being the first of all three ethnicities to accept western values and education, the Yorubas had the highest literacy rate with occupation such as: civil servants, lawyers and doctors.

Siroky Department of Political Science Duke University Date: Approved: Dr. Donald L. Horowitz, Supervisor Dr. David L. Banks Dr. Alexander B. Downes Dr. Bruce W. Jentleson Dr. Erik Wibbels An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science in the Graduate School of Duke University 2009 Copyright c 2009 by David S. Siroky All rights reserved Abstract Secession is a watershed event not only for the new state that is created and the old state that is dissolved, but also for neighboring states, proximate ethno-political groups and major powers. This project examines the problem of violent secession- ist conflict and addresses an important debate at the intersection of comparative and international politics about the conditions under which secession is a peaceful solution to ethnic conflict. It demonstrates that secession is rarely a solution to ethnic conflict, does not assure the protection of remaining minorities and produces new forms of violence. To explain why some secessions produce peace, while others generate violence, the project develops a theoretical model of the conditions that produce internally coherent, stable and peaceful post-secessionist states rather than recursive secession (i.e., secession from a new secessionist state) or interstate dis- putes between the rump and secessionist state.
