Summary, etc. |
The contributions of Nigerians to international peace keeping operations cannot be over emphasized, since her independence from Britain in 1960. Nigeria became a prominent actor both within and outside the international system .Nigeria by all standards is committed to regional peace and global security, despite the fact that the world is conflictually structured as a result of high technological advancement specifically from the western world. This is not to say that modern technology and other discoveries are harmful to all facet of human existence, but is the development and manufacturing of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction by the developed countries that serve as a yardsticks to measure the supremacy and strategies designed to lord themselves over the under developed nations through which all kinds of threats are expressed on the African continent. Soon after the cold war era, the under developed countries began to experience more conflict than they could ever imagine, as a result of these, dangerous weapons of mass destruction and in the attempt by this super powers to sell out their surplus harms especially when the USSR decided to create anarchy and conflictual situations in the developing world, thereby making the ever peaceful world become more violent and unsafe for mankind, while the security of lives and properties assumed a chaotic dimension. Therefore, it is on this backdrop the paper explored the role of Nigeria in curbing the conflicts in Sub Sahara Africa. The paper recommended that there is an urgent need to deal with this structural problem, if we are to be able to deal with the predicament of conflicts in Africa.
