Conflict Prevention in the Greater Horn of Africa

Simulation on Conflict Prevention in the Greater Horn of Africa

Scenario

In this simulation rich with historical detail, participants role-play representatives of Organisation of African Unity member states. They are asked to devise a blueprint for preventing the Ethiopian-Eritrean border conflict from spreading into neighboring countries, and to deal with the refugee crisis in the Horn of Africa, a humanitarian crisis that strains the economies—and the political relations—of the countries in the region. In their roles as OAU representatives, participants in this intricate simulation, witness first-hand the tremendous challenge of trying to obtain consensus among multiple actors with often competing agendas on the tools of conflict prevention.
