Download fileInternal Conflict Displacement Galore in the Horn of Africa: Ethiopia on the Radar
Generally, the world has enjoyed relative peace and stability after the
Cold War in 1991, but never the end to insecurity, conflicts, and wars
(interstate and intrastate). One outcome of these insecurities is conflictinduced internal displacement. Though not new, its prevalence in recent
times has become a hurdle that countries and the international
community must reckon with. In fact, conflict-IDPs globally has received
about 215 percent hikes in the last two decades, while in Africa, the
increase is about 135 percent. However, the Horn of Africa is the hardest
hit. As such, the paper provides an overview of conflict displacement and
explores the conditions that sustains it, using Ethiopia as a unit of
analysis. The paper found several conditions: constitutional, socio-psycho-cultural, political, economic, and human rights abuse as critical
to conflict-IDPs deepening. The article further shows the trends of IDPs
and its security implications for Ethiopia. Pragmatic solutions have been
recommended accordingly.
