Many postcolonial African states have experienced violent conflicts and although Africa’s protracted wars have ended over the past decade, many countries are still affected by the ruins and peace remains fragile on the Continent. Conflict on the African continent is complex, with the intersection of many factors such as the desire for power and resource control from external states, ethnic conflict, genocide, xenophobia, and corruption. These factors seriously hinder the economic and social development of the Continent and the Thabo Mbeki Foundation recognizes the dire need for viable and sustainable approaches to conflict resolution and peacebuilding in our continent.
