“…The effects of Ivoirité are usually analyzed as a hardening of national identity, finally leading into an ethno-nationalist ideology (Banégas 2006, Dozon 2000, Marshall-Fratani 2006. I believe, however, that this interpretation is wrong.…”

“…Some homogeneous nations like Somalia have been engulfed in civil war while many heterogeneous societies live in peace, as Osman argues in this issue (2007). Further, the so-called African traditional identities are often recent constructions, either by colonial powers or by their post-colonial successors, resulting in mythologies of Africanist cultures (Banégas 2006;Bayart 2005).

The emergence of intra-state wars based on identity requires a reconfiguring of existing conflict resolution mechanisms. The article recognises the limitations of liberal peace models originally configured to deal with inter-state conflicts, but increasingly applied to inter-ethnic conflicts with limited success and often disastrous effects. The article argues for the reconceptualisation of identities as building blocks of sustainable peace, justice and reconciliation. The article also calls for the recognition of the role of regional peace and security mechanisms in conflict resolution, as far as possible the use of traditional justice mechanisms, especially in the context of increasing state failure on the continent. The article cautions against enthusiastic embrace of international justice mechanisms that may sometimes create stumbling blocks to peace and reconciliation. Rather the article suggests nuanced interventions in identity-based conflicts that reconcile democracy and justice, guaranteeing the rights of both majority and minority groups.

“…On pourrait détecter un léger parti pris en faveur des aspects socio-économiques, idéologiques et politiques (voir Marie 2002;Chauveau & Bobo 2003;Banégas 2006Banégas , 2007Marshall-Fratani 2006) et une relative négligence des dimensions religieuses, médiatiques, intellectuelles et universitaires -mais voir Dozon (2001), Arnaut & Bahi (2007); ; Arnaut & Blommaert (à paraître) et Théroux-Bénoni & Bahi (à paraître). Dans cette littérature, la question de la construction identitaire reçoit l'attention qui lui est due.…”
