International attention focused on Nigeria tends to fixate on terrorism. But there are other pressing issues. One is the Niger Delta, where an amnesty for rebels has reduced the level of violence but has not settled the grievances of those in the Delta against the state and federal governments. Another is the run up to 2015 elections, which hopefully will not generate the same level of violence that followed the last elections.
USIP recently published two Special Reports. One by Aaron Sayne, entitled What's Next for Security in the Niger Delta, focused on the unfolding situation in the Niger Delta. The other, Midterm Challenges in Nigeria by John Paden, looks at the run-up to the elections and the need to examine whether mechanisms for avoiding conflict are sufficient.
