Conflicts and Forced Migration: Reflections and Recommendations

Abstract

Forced migration has become a challenge of our time. Since the end of the Cold War, an
increasing number of people has been forced to leave their homes as a result of armed conflict,
internal strife, and systematic violations of human rights. Africa in particular has seen a lot of
its people displaced both internally and externally. Therefore, there is need to reflect on the
causes and impact of forced migration. This essay seeks to reflect on the connection between
conflict and forced migration particularly in Africa. The essay also suggests strategies for
preventing further displacements
