<br/><br/> "West Africa is mired in widespread and intertwined conflicts causing the death, mutilation and displacement of millions of people. For more than a decade, the region has been struggling with civil war in Liberia. The situation grew worse as conflict erupted in Sierra Leone in 1991, in Guinea in 2001 and most recently in Cote d'Ivoire." (RED CROSS, RED CRESCENT) This article suggests that "conflicts in West Africa have traditionally been characterized by cross-border ethnic clashes" and examines the recent trend in violence among West African nations.
