“An in-depth analysis on effects of Imperialism on Rwanda” Nowadays, European countries such as England, France, Germany, Belgium, and many other countries possess a colossal clout throughout the world. It is an impeccable fact that such countries, indeed, have served as a rudiment pivot and step for the world to be advanced to the point where we are since the Industrial Revolution. Such countries, because of it, without a doubt, have a crucial status globally and become the superpower and commercial hub on our planet.

The primary independent variable of the participation of women in armed groups is something that should not necessarily be the focus of the article. A genuine flaw of this study is the assumption and emphasis on the mere participation in each of these armed groups as being the primary factor that contributes to the rate of sexual violence. While it is true that Cohen does acknowledge that power dynamics and gender dynamics contribute to the perpetration of sexual violence, this is not a primary focus of the study—but maybe it should be. It would be more impactful to view the issue from the lens of a broader range of factors that could contribute to sexual violence in the Sierra Leone conflict. These factors could include, but are not limited to, masculinity and femininity, power dynamics, and other socio-political contexts.

The Congo Crisis was a conflicting time when Congo became independent from Belgium that led to a series of civil wars as well as a proxy war between the Soviet Union and the United States. In addition to these two powerful countries, China and Cuba’s role in the Congo Crisis are not only strategic, but are often forgotten. Furthermore, these two communist countries perceived the Congo Crisis as a way to not only help African’s struggle against foreign domination, but as a way to distance themselves from the Soviet Union and achieve power and success throughout the world. The Congo Crisis faced not only political upheaval in the newly, independent state, but rather a worldwide struggle against the common enemy.

We contend that refugees of African, Arabic, and Asian descent and African Americans have very few opportunities to meet and learn about each other’s cultures.

To determine such conflict, it is essential that needs that are debilitated be distinguished and along these lines rebuilding of connections or the social framework happen in a way that needs of all people and groups are suited (Burton John, 1991,p82). For instance, this model can be helpful in the cases of African conflicts, for example, that of Darfur, Burundi, Dr Congo and Rwanda conflicts, where there are limitations on opportunity and support of its nationals in political and monetary
