Abstract

Objective: The transition of former violent non-state actors from the creeks of the Niger Delta back into society remains one of the most volatile challenges in Nigeria’s post-amnesty landscape.  This paper examines at how important community acceptance is, and the significant role charities play in getting people back into society. Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) programmes can be state run with a focus typically on training for work, but not on the social debt and trauma that engendered community opposition. Method: This research using qualitative analysis of host community perceptions demonstrates that reintegration is not a top-down bureaucratic event but a contentious bargain of trust, and the automatic nature of structural stigma is detrimental to social peace.  Results:  This paper delineates what it sees as a considerable “legitimacy gap” surrounding state interventions that philanthropic organizations are excellently placed to fill. Non-state actors facilitate restorative justice mechanisms that go beyond mere economic settlement. Findings reveal that philanthropic involvement is most effective when it shifts the focus from individual rehabilitation to communal healing, addressing the grievances of victims alongside the needs of former combatants.  Novelty: The paper maintains that, before uncertainty is transformed to sustainable peace, security forces must stop regarding armed youth as militants and embrace social acceptability with accountability and trust combined.

Abstract

Objective: This paper examines the shift from top-down security systems to community-driven mechanisms for peace-building and assesses their relevance to sustaining human security in the Niger Delta. Method: Using ideas from human security and bottom-up peacebuilding, the paper adopts a qualitative approach. Results: It argues that traditional state-centric strategies, which are sometimes militarized or transactional, have missed the structural reasons of local grievances, including economic marginalization, environmental damage and erosion of traditional governance. The paper reveals that indigenous conflict-resolution methods, like community-monitored development trusts, youth-led environmental advocacy and models mandated from outside, are more resilient and credible than others imposed from outside. These natural forms promote ownership, hence reduce sabotage and social conflicts. Two major obstacles underlined in the research are the gatekeeper phenomenon and the continuous partisan-interest encroachment threatening communal cohesiveness. Novelty: Nigeria’s security strategy must move from protecting oil infrastructure to protecting community livelihoods in order for human security to be sustainable.
