The nonviolent campaign of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), led by Ken Saro-Wiwa, forced oil giant Shell from the Ogoni homeland. The Nigerian government crackdown that followed, including the military occupation of Ogoni,

Extractions: This Issue On 4 September, Ethiopia rejected a revised peace proposal with Eritrea on the grounds that the new terms contradicted the original Organisation of African Unity (OAU) formula, which required the complete withdrawal of Eritrean forces from areas governed by Ethiopia before the conflict broke out on 6 May 1998. On 1 September, Ethiopia had accused Eritrea of launching an offensive at Zalambessa, although Eritrea denied that any battle had taken place. GUINEA Paradoxically, peace in Sierra Leone might have encouraged instability in neighbouring Guinea. Ostensibly, Guinea was democratic, incorporating opposition deputies in a ruling assembly; there has been little violence between societal groups and never a rural uprising against the urban elite. Such stability was largely due to the strict leadership of Ahmed Sekou Touré from 1958-84, who maintained a strong centralised army, a tightly controlled administration and pliable local leaders. His successor, General Lansana Conte, with international encouragement, eventually introduced multi-party democracy in 1993 and opened trading links and access to Guinea's mineral deposits. However, in early 1996, the discontent of the army was revealed in an attempted coup. Conte won a second presidential term in January which was followed by a repressive clampdown: the leader of the Rally for the Guinean People (RPG), Alpha Conde, was arrested and was still in prison awaiting trial, while several party activists were also imprisoned.

ADDRESS DELIVERED BY ALHAJI ABDULLAHI ADAMU (SARKIN YAKIN KEFFI), EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR OF NASARAWA STATE AT A PRESIDENTIAL RETREAT ON PEACE AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION IN SOME CENTRAL STATES, NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF POLICY AND STRATEGIC STUDIES (NIPSS), KURU, PLATEAU STATE, JANUARY 24-26, 2002 For over a decade now, North Central Nigeria has been plunged into a vortex of communal disputes. Hitherto peaceful communities are at each other's throat. Peoples that have cohabited peacefully in some instances for over a century are up in arms against each other. The age-old bonds that once bound communities together are falling apart with the unfortunate consequence that very minor disagreements often result in violence. From Kaduna to Jos, from Bauchi to Taraba, Benue and Nasarawa, a situation is rapidly developing which threatens to destabilize the entire Middle Belt or the North Central Zone. As leaders we are faced with a predicament we never prepared or bargained for. The meagre resources we get in the region are being frittered away on conflict management in a zone that is unarguably the poorest in Nigeria. The situation in the Middle Belt demands urgent national attention for several reasons. First, this belt by its strategic geographical location is the connecting rod that binds the rest of the Nigerian federation together. Because it is so centrally located, instability in this region if left unattended could gradually tear the country apart. The movement of people and goods between the North and the South passes through this region. A major crisis in the region therefore has immense social and economic implications.

Extractions: mwatts@socrates.berkeley.edu www.fpif.org Foreign Policy In Focus www.fpif.org In the wake of the September 11th attack and the Iraq war, Nigeria's geopolitical significance to the U.S. has come into sharper relief. In March and April 2003, militancy across the Niger Delta radically disrupted oil production in this major oil supplier nation. News of these actions, following conflict-ridden national elections, has reinforced the notion that Nigeria and the new West African "gulf states" in general are matters of U.S. national security. The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) weighed in on these events in the May 2003 edition of its publication CSIS Africa Notes . Since it is one of the most influential Washington think tanks, CSIS analysis matters in the formation of U.S. foreign policy. The brief article "Alienation and Militancy in Nigeria's Niger Delta" by Esther Cesarz, Steve Morrison, and Jennifer Cooke will command attention and this merits a serious response. As the authors properly say, the recent oil crisis highlights "more profound national challenges" now facing the reelected President Obasanjo and his government. In their view, the recent conflicts in the Niger Delta mark a watershed, distinguished in particular by the prospects of "an upward spiral of violence." The new levels of weaponry and criminal activity on the part of a "frustrated and angry youth" suggest "new ambitions and capacities" among the Ijaw, who have taken on the characteristics of an armed militia. The authors see the specter of Colombia now haunting Nigeria. U.S. companies, they believe, will become targets of terrorist activity, and Nigeria's national stability and cohesion will be threatened.

Extractions: ORDINARILY, one would have thought Prof. Itsey Sagay would not be involved in such controversy as the issue of Warri ownership. The professor has done so much for the resource control battle to the envy of those of us who are youths from this neglected part of the country. However, his article in the Sunday Vanguard of May 11 stopped short of the truth expected of him. One is really disappointed in the manner he tackled the issue of political control of the Warri area. If the professor had been objective in his handling of issues one would have kept quiet knowing full well that the professor, a respected lawyer and distinguished academic, is capable of handling such matters objectively. While he has listed the rights of the Itsekiris without telling his Itsekiris kith the home truth, one becomes suspicious of his motives. The Ijaws could rightly be blamed in their sacking of various Itsekiri villages but adducing the same to the Urhobos is unfair of the professor. The Urhobos have never sacked Itsekiri villages, they have never gone beyond the Warri Township to go and attack the Itsekiris in their villages and as such have no territorial ambition. Calling the Urhobos settlers in their natural homeland of Warri is nothing but mischievous. The Urhobos have never contended with the Itsekiris as to the ownership of their portion of Warri Township while the Itsekiris have done everything to dispossess the Urhobos of their land.
