The use of mediation among warring parties, the implementation of ceasefire agreements, the establishment of a transitional government and the organization of elections has been the conflict resolution trajectory that has been religiously applied in resolving African conflicts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e What then is the missing link? The authors fervently believe that the above mentioned techniques do not lead to sustainable peace. In fact it leads to negative peace which is not peace at all. The peace studies' theorist, Galtung, decreed that \"Peace is not the absence of violence, but peace of mind.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kale Ewusi,Ebenezer Jr. Akwanga,Ebenezer Akwanga Bsc Jr. Kale Ewusi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1426923546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781426923548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.06d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kale Ewusi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48436531036415,"sku":"9781426923548","price":31.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f4ae3c5-31a8-4d83-82aa-8f46843f7608.jpg?v=1777156959","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/burundis-negative-peace-kale-ewusi-9781426923548","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
