Thesis Abstract
The study investigated conflict management and crises of development in Africa. Specifically, the study examined the link between the United Nations intervention and management of Darfur crises and the development of the region. Utilizing the theoretical framework of Frustration and Aggression model which contends that the motivational strength toward aggression is a function of reinforcement value of the frustrated goal response; the theory unveiled that the refusal of the National Islamic Front led government to pay heed to the agitation and struggle of the Muslim African ethnic groups led to the eruption, escalation and elongation of aggressive behaviour in form of armed conflict against the NIF led government in Sudan. Relying on observational technique, relevant qualitative data were generated for the study. These were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis. On the basis of this, the study unraveled that there is a strong relationship between Poverty and prevalence of conflicts in Africa correlate. The study also exposed that Poor management of the Darfur crises by the United Nations resulted and escalated acts of genocide and above all undermined development of the area. In view of this the study maintained that Measures should be sincerely formulated and implemented measures aimed at permanently resolving the endemic and devastating conflict and that the United Nations should for once live up to its creed of forestalling war and conflicts as well as protecting the hapless civilian population in the event of government-sponsored genocide against them.
