Resource guide: gender and conflict in Africa. Final.

The majority of citizens of African states and societies-women children and men-have in no way been instigators of conflicts that turn into crises or electors of governments that are predatory fragile or failing. Yet virtually all are affected by them at best marginally and at worst fatally. Though they deal with often intractable problems the on-line and print resources included here and in the Annotated Bibliography are a testament to the extraordinary acts of courage of women children and men of these countries as well as those of their regions and of members of the international community in the face of disastrous and sometimes horrifying events and their aftermaths.
