To get answers that deal with what you are trying to investigate it might be an idea to explain your terms of reference. \n\nWhat do you mean by territorial government? \n\nAnd when you say ethnic conflict is it one ethnos or a variety. And what role does religion play?

The terms "Ethnic Rivalry" and "Spill over effects" relate to the cause and the far reaching outcomes of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. (Burundi also had had a similar experience before Rwanda's genocide)\n\nRwanda is a country with only two tribes - the Hutus and the Tutsi. These tribes were in constant struggle for ruling the country. The thirst for power thus resulted in ethnic rivalry between the two tribe, that culminated in the genocide.\n\nThe direct effects of the genocide was the murdering of million people (I don't remember the exact figure, u can search on google). However the effects of the genocide could not be contained within Rwanda borders. Rwandese had to flee their country to save their lives. Most fled to the neighbouring country of Tanzania, thus adding a burden to the already strained social services in the country. Some refugees went as far away as Europe and the US. This is one example of a spill over effect of Rwanda's genocide.\n\nHope I have shed some light into your queery. Feel free to contact me if more clarification is required.

I dont feel really comfortable answering questions about race relations in othr countries anymore. Quite often you get attacked and the asker comes back at you with comments like who are you to bash our country etc etc...so I will just comment on mine. Im 41 and from Australia. I have a black mother and white father. Ive seen racism from both sides of the street. Our present Government refuses to make any apology for past tragedies to our indigenous people, or for the many generations taken away from their families simply because of Assimilation Policy. Which means get them into white culture, breed out the colour, get rid of em. There were and still are many ongoing problems from historical and current policy. With that said we do have Indigenous groups and factions that are one sided too. Our big problem here is Immigration Policy. We have so many problems with boat people, detention centres for illegals etc its a nightmare. We have some problems with race riots here which are disturbing. There were riots in a Sydney suburb of mainly Indigenous people and boy the media carried it on for months and months and it resulted in some losses to that community, changes in the powers and controls of the police etc. Then we had another incident not long ago re some Middle Easterns and it was all over the news again. But you know hardly anything, in my opinion, was done about this because the Government and police are scared to take action against these groups. I dont know its all so confusing. Its horrible and I just wish we could all get along and not judge each other. Thats probably not much of an answer to your question...sorry

I was a Canadian intern in Uganda, and was surprised at the differences between what I had been told about the country and what I learned when I got there.  The greatest things I learned were to be flexible and open to learning and challenges, let go of any ego, and let the local people teach you.  Asking many questions, I was open to meeting people and that took me further than a travel book ever could.\n\nMy readings and country orientation provided "essential" information on medications (all the meds are dangerous and fatal, they are expired drugs sent from North America and are not for human consumption), animals/pets (all animals have Rabies), culture shock (it can be unbearable) and Malaria (ALWAYS take your drugs).\n\nWhen I arrived I chose to learn as much as I could.  I lived in a non white neighbourhood, attended a non white church and learned to speak the local language.  I was surprised to meet the white people.  They lived in their own neighborhoods, and they warned me about the consquences of integration.  They complained about the Africans, and that there were so many of them.  The white people I met wanted to party with the other white people.  There was one other group of white people I met, and they had come to "help" the poor Africans.  When they realized that the Africans were doing very well (incredible amounts of knowledge, ability to identify and seek solutions to their problems), they decided they wanted to go back home to North America.\n\nBefore I left, I made sure I did the research.  I had a basic understanding of the language and culture (what you can get from a book and websites).  I got my shots, my medications and purchased climate appropriate clothing (be aware that linen and soccer shirts can give off the impression of wealth and can put you in danger), and got my visas and tickets.\n\nWhen I arrived, I got a cat (I never got Rabies), I initially took my Malaria medication (you decide how you feel about taking them, it's an ongoing debate) and I did get sick and have to go to the doctor who gave me medication (non lethal and not harmful as I had been told).  I did not have culture shock, but I had reverse culture shock or backpacker's blues (something I had heard nothing about, but it is the struggle you have in returning home).\n\nI hope this helps.  Take everything you hear with a grain of salt.  Be prepared and be open to everything.  You won't regret it.

While this is disturbing, it is is not surprising.\nSimilar things have taken place in other African nations, especially Sierra Leone.\n\nSpeaking of good books on Africa, Paul Rusesbagina (of Hotel Rwanda fame) has a new book called "An Ordinary Man."\nAn interesting book on a terrible time.

That's like asking what makes babies cry.  There are too many different causes to explain it fully, but the origin of many of these problems came from "the scramble for africa," when at the Berlin Conference of 1885, European nations including Britain, France, Portugal, Germany, Denmark, Spain, and Belgium met in order to divide up the African continent amongst themselves.  In the process, they paid no attention to the territories of various ethnic groups.  Some groups found themselves neighbors of others they had long warred with - some groups found themselves split down the middle.  This all relates back to interstate conflict via the issue of sovereignty.  Ethnic groups war with each other over land as well as the resources reaped from these lands.  On a continent where drought and famine run rampant, land is the most important resource.  \n\nThis explanation really referrs to small-scale conflict, but large-scale conflict, meaning that which involves heads of state and/or military involvement, also is based on sovereignty.  Think about it.  Most of these countries are only 40-50 years into their independence, which they had to fight global superpowers to achieve.  Even the African UNION's charter is devoted mostly to respecting one another's borders and rights to rule their own lands - SOVEREIGNTY.  It's about resources, it's about machismo, it's about ethnic conflit and high-level corruption... interstate conflict in Africa is a huge topic.  If you narrow your question down a little, I'd be happy to help.  Email me (I have a Master's Degree in African Politics, so you can trust me!)

Yes the current problems in Africa are as a factor of colonialism. During colonial days the whites mistreated Africans so badly, that when the new leaders came to power the just copied the same things the whites were doing in the office. The biggest problems facing Africans are corruption, poverty, jobless, illeteracy and lack of good leadership. The leaders in government are not concerned about changing Africa for them all they care is put more cash in their pockets, coz they have given up on trying though they never even tried. though up to today still the west is crushing Africa down, by selling the war lords weapons and even financing them.thats why there are so many rebels who dont even know why they are fighting, and most of them are children.

It is a rebel group wih serious issues where Kony the leader thinks he sees visions and wants Uganda to be ruled by the Ten Commendments. HIs group has been linked to massacres, child soldiering and a whole lot of war crimes. He continues to kill nad maime people but the African Union, The UN, the internation community are simply not doing anything. In fact he frequently holds talks with the SPLM/A. that is the government of the newly formed South Sudan. And to think our leaders were protecting us from the axis of evil.

Africa was arbitrarily divided by other countries. The "borders" were invented. Tribes that had been at war for centuries were just supposed to get along now because some french or english or german idiot said they belonged to the same country. How would you feel if someone just told you your state was now apart of canada or Iraq, and now has to abide by its laws?

It is more strict and violent than Communism. Please pray for those people in Africa
