THE IMPACT OF VIOLENT CONFLICTS ON INTER-GROUP RELATIONS IN ZANGO KATAF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF KADUNA STATE, 1999-2011
Abstract:
Despite strong optimism that the enthronement of democratic rule in Nigeria in 1999 would avert or contain conflicts, there has been frequent recurrence of violent conflicts in the country manifesting in either ethnic or religious and mostly a combination of both forms. The country has witnessed high level ethnic and religious conflicts with devastating consequences on human life and property. In other words, the country has produced a catalogue of conflicts with ethnicity and religion being manipulated, resulting in loss of lives in an unprecedented manner and unquantifiable psychological and material damages. The study explored the secondary data generated from vast literature on the subject matter in addition to a personal survey and interview. Applying a combination of both qualitative and quantitative methods, the study attempted to find out the impact of violent conflicts on inter-group relations in Zango Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State, 1999-2011. The arguments were presented within the context of theory of cultural-pluralism, using stratified sampling as a method or framework for data generation and analysis. The research submits that the local government has played host to different conflicts. It has been deeply enmeshed and suffused in violent conflicts characterized by killings and displacement of persons, loss of business investments and loss of properties worth millions of naira leading to deterioration of harmonious co-existence or relations (disharmony, hostility, suspicion and distrust) with religion, ethnicity, poverty and unemployment manipulated to achieve political objectives.
