Abstract

A maior parte dos países africanos, na sequência das independências políticas, e sobretudo no período pós Guerra Fria, num contexto de crescente globalização, tem conhecido situações de turbulência política que por vezes culminaram em massacres e confrontos de grande violência. Para muitos autores as guerras civis que se desencadearam ou ressurgiram na década de 90 correspondem a um tipo “novo” de conflito, embora não seja consensual separar “novas” e “velhas” guerras. Na perspectiva do alcance da paz e da respectiva prevenção é essencial aprofundar o conhecimento das causas subjacentes a cada situação nas suas complexas e múltiplas interligações. Neste texto analisam-se diferentes posições doutrinais sobre o assunto, considerando-se em particular os casos do Sudão, da Costa do Marfim e do Uganda. Também são objecto de comentário as relações entre guerra, fome e insegurança alimentar e as de género, atendendo sobretudo à situação das mulheres combatentes.
