Interest Groups Response to the Conflicts

Let us examine the nature and extent of Interest Groups Response in case the Conflicts occur in the society. Groups with special interests in specific regions or issues, depending on their unity and financial strength are able to exert considerable influence on policymakers. They tend to draw their strength from the diasporas, or from those sharing religious beliefs.

Do such interest groups exist for Africa in Western countries, and if they do, how responsive are they concerning conflict on the continent? A number of such organisations do exist, but their political powerPower in physics is the rate of doing work; measured in watt... appears to be weak. This is notable considering the proportion of the diasporas in some of these Western countries. As many as 13 percent of Americans, for example, can trace their origins to Africa.

Actions by the Interest groups

Trans-Africa is a Washington-based organisation was established to increase the voice of African-Americans in US foreign policy, but it focused primarily on ending apartheid in South Africa. The organisation later turned its attention to Haiti and Nigeria, but it appeared to attract little mainstream support in the West (Berkeley, 2001: 88-90). Another group to note in the US was a loose grassroots coalition known as Liberia Watch, which successfully lobbied the USA for a 200-million-dollar aid package for Liberia.
