No Party Democracy? / A Peace Process with Teeth?: Ecomog
- Synopsis
- Part of a series exploring ways of resolving conflicts across Africa.
1: Follows Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni, the popular ‘Africanist’ leader of a system called ‘no-party democracy’ - very different from the one-party states that characterized post-independence Africa. Uganda is establishing an alternative model for African problem-solving and governance. Some observers hail the country’s impressive economic growth; others call the Ugandan example a fraud.
2: As a result of the chaotic and destructive war waged in Liberia since 1989, its West African neighbours have sent a peace-keeping force called ECOMOG to help stabilize the country. After a dismal start, the Nigerian-led ECOMOG has been getting the job done. But given human rights violations at home, Nigeria’s success with ECOMOG raises serious questions about its intentions for Liberia. In this film General Malul, leader of ECOMOG, talks about Nigeria’s role in rebuilding Liberia. - Series
