Conflict Management in Complex Humanitarian Situations: Peacemaking and Peacebuilding Work with Angolan IDPs
Author(s)Utterwulghe, S.
AbstractAfter 27 years of almost continuous civil war, Angolans have had their share of suffering. Many have been displaced during this long lasting ordeal. After the signing of the April 2002 ceasefire between UNITA and the government forces, thousands are returning home to face new challenges. In the course of armed struggles, internally displaced persons (IDPs) are particularly vulnerable to numerous war-related conflicts. In post-war situations, other types of conflict add on to existing ones and require different forms of intervention. This report attempts to examine various strategies used by a Luanda-based international conflict management organization, the Centre for Common Ground (CCG), that works with Angolan IDPs in the field of conflict resolution. Particular attention is given to the peacemaking and peacebuilding work conducted, in collaboration with IDPs, by CCG.
