Description
Various forms of haunting and deadly ethnic violence tear even the most hidden parts of Africa. Frequently, ethnic groups under warlords attack each other. In some cases, dominant ethnic groups resort to the state to squash weaker ones leaving them emotionally devastated and haunted. In addition to understanding how violence haunts and deprives victims of meaning to continue living, this research examines the role of the African post-colonial state in ethnic violence. It uses the example of Zimbabwe, where the state has championed the genocide of weaker minority groups leaving survivors traumatised and disoriented.
