Minority rights and violence: A comparative analysis of the conflict in Southern Cameroon and Biafran separatism in Nigeria
Original language description
Rights disparity within a population, alongside an unresolved and long-standing feud concerning minority rights, is a key factor in fuelling agitation and violence in a country. Consequently, it has a significant effect on a state’s peace, security, and development. This article presents a comparative analysis regarding the violence experienced in Southern Cameroon and in Southeastern Nigeria. The analysis is carried out using a qualitative approach based on a revised model of Relative Deprivation (RD) theory. Documentary evidence focusing on the causes of violence is analysed to explain specific factors associated with minority rights. The article argues that while the two cases studied are quite distinct, there are also certain similarities which illustrate how state-destabilizing violence originates out of horizontal inequalities created by a state’s government. This conclusion is showcased in a model of RD theory as it relates to West Africa and the Central African States.
