However, some of the key factors that make individuals vulnerable to Boko Haram's recruitment are poverty and unemployment, their social groups (i.e. friends, family members, ethnic kinship and the almajiri system of Islamic schooling), lack of education and the religious institutions that they frequent. Contrary to expectations and conventional wisdom that, given the ferocity of the Boko Haram crisis and widespread corruption in Nigeria, people would generally be disillusioned and not participate in political processes, this study found high levels of participation in political processes, including elections, and interaction with the military and security forces. The study also found that people who are employed are more likely to participate in political processes, such as voting. At the community or local level in Nigeria, the social contract is extremely weak, as ordinary citizens relate very little to their local leaders. There seems to be a general distrust of local-government structures and their leaders. This distrust is particularly high in areas that experience high levels of Boko Haram activity. Similarly, at the national level, with the exception of the president, there seems to be very little trust in the institutions of the federal government, such as the National Assembly and the Senate. Again, with the exception of the president, the study found that Nigerians seem to have very little faith in politicians, who are seen as the catalysts of socio-economic and political problems in Nigeria. Most Nigerians believe that violent extremism, and especially Boko Haram, escalate because of the failings of politicians, who are also considered to be the fi nanciers of the extremist group. A signifi cant number of Nigerians believe that corruption is the biggest security threat to the country. Friends, neighbours, relatives and community meetings are viewed as the most likely arenas to recruit or introduce people to Boko Haram. Young people between the ages of ISS MONOGRAPH 196 iii 15 and 30 who are not married and with little or no education are the most vulnerable to being recruited into Boko Haram. Religion remains a huge factor in the Nigerian polity, which competes for legitimacy with the state. With the weak social contract, religion is what binds people in Nigeria. Many people who do not trust the government tend to trust religious institutions. Religion, however, has also been one of the factors that widens the north-south geographic divide in the country, an issue that continues to create tension among Nigerians. There are a large number of people who feel that they are deliberately excluded from political governance and do not have access to equal opportunities because of their ethnic or religious background. This was evident in the way religious groups and people from certain ethnic groups perceived government and politicians, who are generally seen to be corrupt and sponsors of Boko Haram. Interestingly, the study found that most Nigerians believe that Boko Haram is best addressed at the community or local level, rather than at the national or federal level. Nigerians are divided as to whether one should pursue military action or use non-military responses to Boko Haram. A signifi cant number favour military action, while the majority, who advocate non-military measures, are also divided over issues such as negotiation, amnesty, religious solutions, developmental solutions and a criminal-justice approach. The police are still a relevant factor, as a signifi cant number of Nigerians show faith in the police in dealing with emergency situations or when they are in danger. The military is also considered to be relevant, especially in the north, where a signifi cant number of Nigerians said they would call the military when in danger. Although there are certain distinctive elements in Boko Haram funding, it is also true that many of the group’s sources and means of funding are similar to those of other terrorist groups elsewhere in Africa and in the world at large, such as

Nurudeen Akinyemi, Kennesaw State University In this book, Abiodun Alao explored the relationship between natural resources and conflicts in resource rich African countries. The fact that several domestic conflicts on the African continent have been associated in one way or the other with competition over the control ofnatural resources, have given some credence to the popular notion of a "resource curse" on resource rich African countries. The assumption, specifically, is that the mere existence of a valuable and highly sought after natural resource, is enough to trigger and perpetuate violent conflicts in African countries.

  • Introduction Historical Context
    INTRODUCTION China-Africa ties have expanded beyond trade and investment in extractive industries to engagement in telecommunications, infrastructure, manufacturing, finance, media, agriculture and peace and security issues. HISTORICAL CONTEXT While not as well documented as Africa’s links with Europe, China-Africa relations date back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) when a series of expeditions reached East Africa under the command of Admiral Zheng He, at roughly the same time as the Portuguese were exploring Africa’s Atlantic coast. However, formal political relations were only forged during the early years of the founding of the People’s Republic of China (1949), which intersected with the first wave of African independence. The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence were originally established in 1954 by India’s prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, and the Chinese premier, Zhou Enlai. These principles rose to popularity during the 1955 Bandung Conference – which paved the way for the founding of the Non-Aligned Movement – and have become an important basis for China’s foreign policy and its relations with Africa and Asia. China’s support for Africa’s liberation also played an influential role in shaping the outcomes of newly independent states. 2015 is also 60 years since the 1955 Bandung Asian-African conference, a turning point of world history when for the first time representatives of the former colonised nations united and proposed alternatives to a world order dominated by superpowers. - Remarks by African Union Commission Chairperson, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, 30 January 2015. …The relationship between ourselves and China is founded, as the Prime Minister reminded us recently, on four basic principles: treating each other sincerely and equally; consolidating solidarity and mutual trust; jointly pursuing inclusive development; and promoting inventive practical cooperation between our countries.

  • A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement In
    A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement in African Tertiary Institutions Written by Funmi E. Vogt This project was funded through the support of the Carnegie Corporation About the African Leadership Centre In July 2008, King’s College London through the Conflict, Security and Development group (CSDG), established the African Leadership Centre (ALC). In June 2010, the ALC was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build the next generation of scholars and analysts on peace, security and development. The idea of an African Leadership Centre was conceived to generate innovative ways to address some of the challenges faced on the African continent, by a new generation of “home‐grown” talent. The ALC provides mentoring to the next generation of African leaders and facilitates their participation in national, regional and international efforts to achieve transformative change in Africa, and is guided by the following principles: a) To foster African‐led ideas and processes of change b) To encourage diversity in terms of gender, region, class and beliefs c) To provide the right environment for independent thinking d) Recognition of youth agency e) Pursuit of excellence f) Integrity The African Leadership Centre mentors young Africans with the potential to lead innovative change in their communities, countries and across the continent. The Centre links academia and the real world of policy and practice, and aims to build a network of people who are committed to the issue of Peace and Security on the continent of Africa.
