Abstract
As its central aim, this study attempts to examine the impact of sporadic
local ethnic conflict on livelihoods. This is a case study to show that how
conflict between the Booran and the Garri affects their lives and
livelihoods. It also tries to critically look different theoretical approaches to
assess the genesis, root causes and aggravating factors of the conflict. The
methodology used is collecting information from primary and secondary
sources, organizing/ reorganizing and analyzing this information.
The ever groWIng conflict has resulted in a large number of human
causalities and the disruption of social institutions that normalize ethnic
tensions and conflicts. Displacement by way of migration to other
territories including to neighboring countries, and destruction of property
(livestock, residences and wells and pasture), damage on the ecological
system are commonly experienced capital impacts of conflict.
Recommendations are made as to how conflicts resolved in the long run.
