Abstract

It is apriori knowledge that there can never be a goo dwar or a bad peace. War has become a global albatross as reports from Syria in Africa, Palestine and Israel in the Middle East daily confront us. Both the downtrodden and the privileged are victims. Although, the civil war in Liberia started in 1989 and ended in 1997, we are still left with bitter traces of the appalling levels of violence and brutality, systematic rape and the destruction of crops as well as poisoning of the wells and outright genocide. Ferocious assaults were unleashed against women and children in the various communities, resulting in millions of them becoming refuges in neighboring countries or internally displaced. Children were exposed to child soldering, served the ragtag armies in supporting roles as cooks, porters, messengers and spies, millions were left orphaned as a result of HIV/AIDS pandemic and schools were destroyed. Women became victims of sexual and other physical violence. Unfortunately; from Abidjan Accord of 1999 to Liberia Peace Talk in Ghana, women were conspicuously underrepresented. This paper is set to examine the need for involvement of women in peace building and peacemaking processes in Africa especially in Liberia.
