[edit] Africa’s zones of conflict
- These are partly due to unsuitable, colonially-drawn frontiers in the 19th Century.
- 2 present major conflict zones:
- The Central Africa chain of conflicts have become intertwined in recent years and ongoing wars between Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia, the genocidal wars of Rwanda and Burundi, the civil wars of Somalia, Sudan, Uganda, Congo-Brazzaville, Congo-Zaire, and Angola. This zone of conflict stretches from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic and has caused cumulatively over 10 million deaths in the past 20 years through famine or war.
- The unresolved issue of the Western Sahara, now controlled by Morocco.
- Iraq and Afghanistan ongoing conflicts with no end in sight. Pray for peace and justice. Pray for freedom and safety for Christians.
