Abstract

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has long been a significant issue in global politics, with its effects reaching beyond the Middle East. This study examined the origins of the conflict, the roles of various international organizations in peace mediation, and the impact on Africa's international relations, particularly its economic and political dimensions. Using a historical approach, the study analyzed the conflict's genesis, effects, and Africa's involvement, employing secondary data sources to explore how the conflict influences Africa, its stance, and potential strategies for resilience. The study utilized realist theory to provide an analytical framework. It concluded that resolving the conflict is essential for Africa to fully leverage its natural resources and enhance its security and economic stability. The study recommends that African nations adopt a unified position within the African Union, advocating for peaceful solutions and adherence to international law to bolster their global diplomatic influence. African nations should also, take on a more proactive role in international mediation, reinforcing peacebuilding institutions to enhance global peace and security efforts.

Abstract

This study explored democracy and resurgence of coups in Africa: the implications for the African Union. The major focus is on reasons why there is a sudden reoccurrence of military coups in Africa and what spurs their successes and/or failures so far in the region. Using the secondary data collection method, the study identified the major causes of occurring coups in Africa and also using the regime security theory, the reasons for the spiraling effect of military coups in Nigeria was found to be similar in most of the countries that recently engaged in coups and countercoups. Furthermore, the theory provided for mostly the successes in these countries and why they would always succeed. The study went further to account for the efforts made by the African Union and other economic organizations in the region to reduce the spread of coups in Africa. The study concludes that the African Union and other related economic organizations also end up having some form of political and economic interests in remaining in power for their own selfish gains hence the cycle of resurgence of military coups in Africa. Key words: Democracy, resurgence, coup, African Union
