Summary
Small arms dominate conflicts in Africa. More people die in wars in Africa than in any other continent. This book answers the questions why so many small arms are circulating in North-East Africa and how they are affecting peace in these countries. This is a vivid account of modern pastoralist armed conflict. Kennedy Mkutu proposes an integrated regional approach where improved security, community involvement and economic development precede and accompany disarmament.
