|a “The book dissects the nature of environmental conflicts in Africa. It presents a new theoretical interpretation of resource factors that could transform African states, when resources are adequately managed.” — Dr. Chijioke Odii, Renaissance University Ugbawka, Nigeria “ The book is a groundwork on competition over control of mineral resources that have become a major source of armed conflict in Africa. It is a strong call for the transformation of resource governance and management in Africa.” — Dr. Prince Enwereji, University of South Africa, South Africa The book discusses the failure of many African governments in providing the social needs of the masses. Unfortunately, in many States, mineral resources are owned, explored and marketed by machinery of the state. The problem arises when the masses begin to challenge State access and ownership of resources that are domiciled within their ancestral land.

|a Often their resistance to state control of natural resources is triggered by sense of exploitation, negligence and widespread poverty in the face of high resource endowment and waste by government officials. Paradoxically, the State uses unlimited might to suppress the agitators, thereby leading to increased arms race by such groups. When the resource agitators succeed in arming themselves, they begin to demand for environmental justice, thereby leading to mass armed conflict with the state forces over control of natural commonwealth. It is that state of desperado to control access, extraction and sale of resources in a state, by different armed groups that turns natural resources extraction as visible cause of conflicts around the African continent that is the centrepiece of the book. Dr. Kelechi Johnmary Ani is a lecturer in Alex Ekwueme Federal University Ndufu-Alike, Nigeria and Visiting Senior Lecturer at Renaissance University Ugbawka, Nigeria.
