Gini Nelson's Engaging Conflicts

“I saw brutality, experienced hunger and was even recruited as a child soldier. Education for kids was only limited to knowing how to operate a hand gun and identify your enemy.” — Emmy Irobi

Emmy is interviewed in today’s issue of Engaging Conflicts Today. After serving as a child soldier in Biafra, Emmy Irobi migrated to Poland and Germany. He obtained a Masters degree in International Relations from the University of Warsaw, and went on to obtain a Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of Leipzig, Germany in May, 2005. He is now a Polish citizen, and plans to live permanently in Poland. His research interests, however, continue to center on resolving ethnic conflicts in Africa. He has also written an article on Ethnic Conflict Management in Africa which can be located at BeyondIntractability.org.
