In the recent spate of military takeovers in Guinea, Mali, Chad, Niger and Guinea Bissau in West Africa, identity politics has been named as one of the motivations behind the military coups. The concern surrounding the elimination or minimization of discrimination in governance and the distribution of national wealth is of particular importance. This book promotes a sane approach to the sharing of the national 'cake': to adopt pragmatism and the principles of the Rule of Law, which are already enshrined in the respective constitutions of these nations. This book fills a gap in the literature and promotes equal participation and distribution of opportunities in Sub-Saharan Africa. It will educate politicians, ministries, agencies and departments, policy makers, non-governmental organizations engaged in development at the grass-roots levels, and academics and students of politics, security, religious studies and development.
