We take you on a discovery of the root causes of African conflicts;
the attempts by continental organizations such as the Organization
of African Unity to resolve these conflicts; the reasons for the
inability of the OAU/AU to succeed in conflict resolution; the root
causes of the Burundi Conflict; the Burundi Peace process as a
reflection of how conflicts are resolved in Africa and why we think
it does not lead to sustainable peace which we term "negative
peace."
Burundi's Negative Peace explores the largely unknown area of
negative peace in Africa and specifically Burundi in the wake of
the manner in which conflicts are resolved throughout the
continent. The use of mediation among warring parties, the
implementation of ceasefire agreements, the establishment of a
transitional government and the organization of elections has been
the conflict resolution trajectory that has been religiously
applied in resolving African conflicts.
What then is the missing link? The authors fervently believe
that the above mentioned techniques do not lead to sustainable
peace. In fact it leads to negative peace which is not peace at
all. The peace studies' theorist, Galtung, decreed that "Peace is
not the absence of violence, but peace of mind."
