CONCLUSION
The conflict in most parts of Africa has ethnic dimension. Ethnic minorities like the case Of
Rwanda, Sudan and Somalia have felt insecure and risked losing their cultural identity before
situations of instability in those countries occurred. In Ethiopia, ethnic minorities such as the
Oromo and Ogaden Somali are persecuted and denied basic rights. Minority
women in these regions are excluded from decision-making and political participation.
Instability and conflict in these countries are caused by the exclusion of ethnic minorities from
the affairs of their country. We have seen this happen in Kenya too during the last general
election. It is the inclusion of minority communities that strengthens' our countries and create
stability and cohesive societies. Developed countries such as the United States of America
have deliberately created policies and opportunities such as the Diversity Lottery Program
(Green Card) to create ethnic, religious and linguistic diversity in their countries and this are the
reasons for their development, stability, and diversity.
