SEPARATION OF SOUHTHERN SUDAN AND TIGRAY IN ETHIOPIA: A LESSON FOR NIGERIA's IPOB, NIGER DELTA AND ODUDUWA REGIONS' AGITATION---------
BY
ABBATI BAKO,psc,bsis,UK
The current crisis in Tigray in Ethiopia and the unfortunate separation of S/Sudan is very lamenting and unfortunate. And the root cause of crises in Africa has been as a result of five key issues 1. Bad governance 2. Conflict,
3. Population crisis 4. Trapped resources and 5. land locked that restricting the African societies to develop politically, economically and socially. If positive change has not been done African Continent will remain in doom.
The current President of S/Sudan Salva Kiir is from majority Dinka and former V/C President has been in political turmoil since 2012. The number of atrocities have been reported; thousands of people have sough refuge and thousands of people have been killed in the civil war fighting. The Southern Sudan have voted in a referendum last nine years to separate themselves from the Republic of Sudan for the simple reason that they have oil in the area and they are granted independence by Sudan in 2012.
Therefore, they became the 54th African Union member and 179 member of United Nations (UN). But the question one may ask is why the Africans are still fighting each other since 1960th despite the fact that the world has been in globalization/digital era? Why African leaders never learn a lesson? Why Africa still under developed? Does the cause of the problems from African stakeholders or foreign stakeholders? When shall Africa Nations be politically, economically and socially free?
Let's always remember that European Union with 27 (after the Brexit of England) countries with 510 million population as members should be an excellent example for African leaders. No nation or society can achieve any meaningful development without cooperation among its Political leadership and Economic stakeholders.
Political power mongering, greediness and self enrichment over night must be avoided. Otherwise, Africa will remain in darkness and under develop for decades; despite the 1.3 Billion population and unlimited resources in the continent (60 percent of global resources are in Africa). Africa is the most resourceful continent with about 1/7th of the world population or to say 17percent of global population but Africa still the most backward, poor and uneducated Continent.
The Nigeria's Niger Delta region must learn a lesson from S/Sudan for the fact that some of the unpatriotic among them agitating for disintegration of Nigeria because of the reason that the oil resources are from that area. How sure would they be at peace if Nigeria disintegrated? The unpatriotic among them must think twice on the ongoing civil war in
S/Sudan and Ethiopia. That must be a lesson for the wise to learn. The only path to develop any nation is understanding, patriotism, commitment, unity of purpose and cooperation among the regions and all citizens and leaders of Nigerian nation China and India is an excellent example.
*The UN Peace keeping operations in S/Sudan and UN Charter---------
Peacekeeping Operations is an important subject matter since the inception of United Nations for the past 75 years. The importance attached to this gigantic work, scholars and experts have had written so much about. It has been agreed that, peacekeeping operations is one of the major development that has not been directly reflected in UN Charter. There is no clear cut Chapter in UN Charter which a word "Peacekeeping" mention therein. In Chapter V1 Article 37.2 there is no word ‘peacekeeping’. But some argue that, Chapter V11 Articles 41 and 42 will be applied to re-store and maintain peace and stability in any nation. Still there is no specific or direct answer to peacekeeping operations in case of breach of peace, act or aggression against any nation. Although some experts suggests that, "Chapter X11 of UN Charter ‘The Responsibility to Protect can give purposeful guidance on Peacekeeping Operations" Simon C. 2004 ed.
