With the exception of Syria, African
countries currently get the worst rep
when it comes to violence and conflict.
Virtually every story coming out of the
continent of Africa seems to showcase
one atrocity or another. This narrative
is both true and false. In 2014, Africa
experienced more than half of
worldwide conflict incidents, despite
having only about 16 percent of the
world population. This is a slightly
larger share of the world’s conflicts
than even during the chaotic years of
the postCold War 1990s.
But there are two important caveats.
One, the absolute number of conflicts
worldwide has greatly decreased over
the last two decades. So despite
shouldering a larger share of the
conflict burden, in absolute terms,
Africa has become more peaceful as
well. And secondly, the remaining
conflicts seem to cluster in specific
regions and involve only a few of
Africa’s 54 nationstates. According to the Uppsala Conflict Data Program, 12 African countries
experienced armed conflict in 2014. Three additional countries — Burundi, Niger and Chad — will likely be
added to the list for the 2015 data.
Geographically Africa’s conflicts are tightly clustered along an arc stretching from northern Mali through
southern Algeria and Libya into Egypt, extending into the Sinai Peninsula. The Boko Haram conflict in
northeastern Nigeria is another epicenter and situated in relative proximity to an area of conflict hot
spots in the Central African Republic, Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi, South Sudan
and Darfur. On Africa’s eastern coast, the Somali civil war is still going strong in its third decade.
Modern conflicts in Africa are thus highly localized, and they defy simplistic explanations based on
stereotypes. That being said, these are our predictions for Africa’s conflicts in 2016.
Boko Haram
Frequent conflict between Boko Haram and the Nigerian government throughout 2015 has been
reported. The insurgency is the deadliest conflict that Africa is ...
Though the worst intelligence failure, the USA took maximum advantage of the 9/11 tragedy and embarked on the mission to accomplish the objectives set forth in the infamous neo-con paper, known as the American Century.
America employed all its -military, diplomatic and financial, to wage a war of terror on several countries besides Afghanistan-its starting point.
Whether it was a stellar success or a dismal failure, it has cost the world massively in terms of loss of human lives, financial losses, refugees crises, missed opportunities, and surprisingly, increased global terrorism

FACTFILE:
GCSE
GOVERNMENT & POLITICS
Additional Fact File: United Nations (UN)
and NATO Actions
Policies
There are existing Fact Files on both the UN and NATO, available on the CCEA GCSE Politics microsite.
That on the United Nations provides information on the structure, roles and methods of the UN. It also
provides details on the UN operations in Somalia and Sierra Leone. The Fact File on NATO provides
information on the purpose, structure and methods of NATO. It provides detail on actions taken by
NATO in Afghanistan (since 2015) and Kosovo.
Since their formation both the United Nations Security Council and NATO have been involved in what
have been termed “actions”. The stated objective of these actions was to prevent conflict and to
resolve conflicts where they have already broken out.
This Fact File will provide some further examples of actions taken by the UN and NATO. Students may
use these examples in answering examination questions about the UN and NATO operations and their
effectiveness.
In relation to the UN, the Specification for Unit 2 of the GCSE refers to:
• Different ways in which the UN Security Council attempts to establish and maintain peace and
stability
• The effectiveness of the UN in resolving conflict
In relation to NATO, the Specification refers to:
• NATO actions to manage conflict
• The effectiveness of NATO in managing conflict.
The United Nations
In pursuing its goal of maintaining peace and security, the UN can use mediation, can impose
sanctions, may deploy a peacekeeping force and can also use military force. Two conflicts where the
UN sought to intervene are:
• Rwanda
• Liberia

Was UN action in Liberia successful? No, when only mediation and an arms ban were used. Yes, when a large
peacekeeping force was sent in and then remained for many years.

Conclusion on UN Actions
The evidence is that when the UN Security Council is in agreement and acts quickly and in a determined
way, this can help to prevent conflicts escalating. The UN has failed when the Security Council is divided: the
inaction of the UN over the Civil War in Syria is a perfect example.
NATO
Two major actions that NATO has been involved in are:
• The war in Afghanistan up to 2014
• The action against Islamic State
The War in Afghanistan
• Following the 9/11 attacks on the USA in 2001, the US persuaded NATO to send a military force to
Afghanistan. Its goal was to overthrow the government of the country which was controlled by an
Islamic Fundamentalist group called the Taliban.
• The US managed to persuade other NATO members that the Taliban was training and supplying Islamic
Terrorists who were responsible for 9/11 and other attacks.
• Between 2001 and 2014, the US and UK led NATO coalition engaged in direct military conflict with the
Taliban; sought to sustain a democratically elected government; trained the Afghan army and police
and launched a major economic and social investment programme in the country.
• The cost to the US alone of the Afghan war was $1.07 trillion: that is over 1000 billion dollars.
Was the Afghan War a Success?
• Over 150,000 civilians lost their lives
• NATO troop casualties were over 3,400
• Huge destruction of Afghan institutions
• High levels of corruption in the Afghan government
• Most importantly, the Taliban has not been defeated and continues to control large parts of the country.
Some argue it will gain control of the government in the future.
However, NATO argues that the action was successful in:
• Slowing the spread of terrorism
• Giving the Afghans the opportunity to create a democratic system of government.
• The Afghan military and police are now able to control the country.
More information on the Afghan conflict can be found in the BBC
