Conclusion on Second Question

In a nutshell, we can see that the level of human rights implements in Africa are very low and have been ignored. As Munirah written in her post, she mentioned about three major problems that faced by African region that show the level of human rights such as deprivation from food like the case of Zimbabwe people that had no access to their food stocks, land, and other forms of livelihood. Then, when we discussed about insecurities, Kenya and Zimbabwe lost their homes and only depend on humanitarian assistance. Women and children have been the sexual violence victims and there was also an attack toward the humanitarian workers. And lastly, Munirah mentioned about exclusion that show major groups in African face discrimination and exclusion from protection. In addition, Intan had discussed about the Sudan conflict situation as to give a clear view in the context of insecurities and exclusion from protection problem. There have been conflict happen between the North and South Sudan government that increase the civilian threat and ethnic conflict until 2009. By the way, Hazie Kan highlighted about political ploy that sets to strength the position of ruler and lead to exploitation. Furthermore, Shikin had written about the Diary of Africa's human rights implemention. Domestic politic conflicts happened in certain countries such as Kenya and Uganda which is the rules of military coup but there was changes in Africa's conflicts like changes from apartheid to democracy system in South Africa after received international society and domestic resistance pressure.

Last but not least, we can still see lacking of human rights implemented in African region. Human rights abuses such as genocide killing and ethnic conflict still happen in certain places such as Rwanda and Sudan. In 2009,22 of 24 nations identified as having "Low Human Development" on the United Nations' (UN) Human Development Index were located in Sub-Saharan African. The African Union as an international institution should play their role effectively by organize more discussion forum among the African countries leaders in order to reduce the critical situation happen in African region.
