Understanding Micro and Macro Conflict in Africa for Improved Individual and Social Transformation
Keywords:
Conflict; Africa; Violence; Development; Transformation; Governance
Abstract
In this study, conflict for the African, is explored both at the micro (individual, ethnic & national) and macro (international) levels. This study delves into conflict as a fundamental aspect of human experience, exploring how it unfolds in Africa at both individual and communal levels, as well as on an international scale. Conflict arises from clashing interests, values, or goals and takes various forms, such as struggles within oneself, between individuals, within groups, or between groups. Africa, recognized as the birthplace of humanity and a continent rich in natural resources, is poised to play a significant role in the global workforce of the future. Yet, it remains trapped in economic stagnation, widespread poverty, violence, and corruption. This research seeks to understand how conflict undermines Africans personally and regionally, contrasting this with regions like Asia and Latin America, which have turned similar challenges into opportunities for progress despite histories of slavery and colonialism. Through an analysis of African media, governance issues, and insights from other regions, the study singles out identity and poverty as key drivers of conflict at the personal and community levels, while natural resources, climate, and geographic location fuel larger-scale disputes. The consequences are severe—human rights abuses, loss of life, and displaced resources—all stalling development. Rather than attributing Africa’s struggles solely to external forces like slavery, colonialism, or unfair trade agreements, this work emphasizes the continent’s inherent strengths. It proposes that conflict, rather than being a mere obstacle, can be a tool for self-liberation and growth. Drawing from Asia’s focus on family-based social support and Latin America’s emphasis on critical thinking and transformation, the study suggests rethinking African socialism and ethnic-driven entitlement. By fostering inclusive, accountable governance, Africa could transform conflict into a force for enhancing individual lives and societal well-being, breaking free from cycles of division and underdevelopment.
