The Ethnic Factor in Internal Displacement of Populations in Sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract
No abstract The ethnic structure of Sub-Saharan African countries has created an environment
that is most conducive for ethnically based conflicts that trigger internal
displacement of population in those countries. This paper surveys the evidence of
the ethnic factor in population displacements during the colonial and independence
periods. The theoretical framework used to interpret the evidence in colonial
Guyana - "predisposing " and "triggering-igniting " factors - is applied to the
situation in SSA.
