Conflict in the Niger Delta More Than a Local Affair

This report, sponsored by the Centers of Innovation at the US
Institute of Peace (USIP), draws on the experiences of the
author and Stakeholder Democracy Network (SDN) over the
past four years in the Niger Delta. During this period, conflict
has escalated significantly while governance indicators, for the
most part, have stubbornly refused to improve.
The first steps in this report were taken more than a year ago,
well before ill health weakened and then led to the death of
former President Umaru Musa Yar’adua. At present, few things
are certain about Nigeria or the Niger Delta, and stability is a
key concern for international actors. This report argues that
the quest for stability is counterproductive. The region has
not been trapped in the fossilized state that has crumbled
only recently in North Africa. Change from the status quo is
inevitable; the question is whether the region will be trapped
in deepening cycles of violence or whether sundry actors can
assist in making a remarkable break with the recent past.
