La charia dans le Nord-Nigeria
In: Politique africaine, Band 79, Heft 3, S. 141-152
ISSN: 2264-5047
Cet article analyse brièvement l'application récente de la charia au Nord-Nigeria. Il met en évidence les facteurs qui ont conduit à l'instauration de cours islamiques, les réactions populaires à celles-ci et les possibles compromis politiques avec les États majoritairement chrétiens. Plutôt qu'un système de droit unique le Nigeria sera sans doute contraint de mettre en place des dispositifs juridiques différents d'un État à un autre. Les effets politiques et économiques de cette application différentielle sont encore incertains.
La charia dans le Nord-Nigeria
In: La politique africaine, Heft 79, S. 141-152
ISSN: 0244-7827
This article offers a brief examination of the current implementation of Islamic law in several states of Nigeria. It outlines the reasons for establishing shari'a courts, people's responses to them, and areas of probable political compromise (given vehement opposition from predominantly Christian states). Instead of having a single uniform legal system throughout the country, Nigeria will operate a range of legal procedures that will differ from state to state. The economic and political consequences of these differences remain to be seen. (Pol afr/ DÜI)

Reconciliation and Memory in Postwar Nigeria
During the Nigerian civil war of 1966-1970, the government's adoption of a policy of reconciliation halfway through the war was an inducement to bring the fighting to an early end. But the government's reconciliation policy did not address the underlying causes of violence, because it was not coupled with truth, justice, or healing. Rather, it was intended merely to bring a resumption of everyday life. There were no reparations, no public acknowledgement of suffering, no apology, & virtually no accountability. Painful issues of memory & recovery plagued local communities. Moreover, there were serious divisions among the victims: eg, the experience of Biafrans who could re-create community on the basis of the solidarity born of heroic failure differed from that of communities on the margins that were divided by their differential support of Biafra or Nigeria. Moreover, not all communities had the resources to benefit from the state policies of reconciliation, rehabilitation, & reconstruction. 18 References. A. Funderburg
