Abstract
Southern Africa is a region that has historically experienced civil and military conflict. In the two decades preceding democratic change in South Africa, the region easily earned the honour of being one of the most violent on the African continent. Much of the conflict in the region was directly or indirectly related to the apartheid situation in South Africa. Examples of either the direct or indirect relationship between the apartheid regime and conflict in the region included: the Mozambican civil war between the ruling party Frelimo and the rebel movement Renamo, which ended with the signing of the Rome peace accords in 1992, and the Angolan civil war between the MPLA government and the rebel movement Unita led by Jonas Savimbi. In both countries, the war was intense, and its effect on peace and security in the region was quite profound, with refugees and the inflow of arms to the regions among the consequences. The rest of the region suffered from periodic incursions into its territory by South African forces, resulting in insecurity in affected countries such as Zambia, Zimbabwe and Lesotho.
