| Summary: | Africa's security landscape is rapidly changing with 'old' security threats transforming into 'new' complex challenges. While the pervasiveness of human insecurity on the continent is acknowledged, there has been little discussion in the conventional literature on the link between human security, armed violence and subsequent instability within the African context. There are many opportunities for countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to strengthen economic well-being and address armed violence, thus redress the challenge of human insecurity. Of particular concern are the unemployed youth who are mostly vulnerable to recruitment to militia and terrorist groups. In this regard, governments should significantly expand the formal private sector, improve on health and education as well as create employment to the youth. |
