| dc.description.abstract | The Peace of the post Civil War era in Nigeria was considered by many and an uneasy one. The presence of large amounts of small arms and light weapons within the fragile polity affords a ready alternative to peace thus representing a huge deficit to long term peacebuilding. This study historically traces challenges to the control process that have emerged over time. It investigates the role of the politics of arms embargos during the Nigerian Civil War; inadequate post-conflict DDR; availability of conflict resources to non-state actors and institutional and financial problems of cooperative security. The paper argues that a key aspect of the control process must involve the mitigation of some of these challenges which often cripple the control process and by extension hamper peacebuilding efforts in the various conflicts that have emerged in different parts of the country since the Civil War | en_US |
