This book provides an in-depth analysis of one of the most persistent
and perennial types of conflict in Africa– pastoralist-farmer
conflicts – and the linkages with conflict management and
resolution, vulnerability and displacement, government capacity and
deficits, and the role of local and international governmental and
non-governmental agencies in the specific Nigerian context.
Conflict-induced displacement generates humanitarian and protection
issues particularly when the government is unwilling to carry out its
responsibility of protecting the civilians in flight. The book fills
the intellectual vacuum created on the implications the conflict
management mechanisms adopted in resolving pastoralist-farmer conflict
have on the protection of internally displaced persons (IDPs). It
extensively describes the displacement and associated risks and
vulnerabilities of IDPs arising from the conflict and the efforts of
the different stakeholders in responding to the protection issues. It
examines various conflict management mechanisms adopted by
stakeholders in resolving pastoralist-farmer conflict and how they
have affected the protection of IDPs. It also elucidates the
imperativeness of internally displaced persons’ involvement in the
management/resolution processes of pastoralist-farmer conflict, which
will not only impact the resolution of the conflict but also provide
opportunity for their issues of protection to be addressed.
