Abstract
The destructive conflicts that plagued much of Africa including those still lingering in the Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes Regions are presently moving to the post-conflict stage. The phase has its own particular characteristics that need renewed analyses and understanding. This paper highlights the current stage in the development of conflicts, particularly in the Horn, where the Institute has been active for more than a decade. It is a stage concerned with the decisive step of abandoning violence, developing institutions and sustainable political and socio-economic development. The paper, based on earlier research and lectures by the author, argues that good representative institutions, based on the principles of democracy and human rights and creatively assimilating relevant cultural and traditional values of particular cases concerned, offer a good chance to usher in a workable system where future violent conflicts can be averted and peaceful mechanisms prevail.
