Abstract: 

African wars of the past 15 years do not fit the traditional concept of wars that involve two sides trying to defeat each other. A number of analysts (for example Keen 2000, Duffield 2000) interpret African wars as a means of gaining profit, power and protection, often in relatively small areas, and not as a way of taking political control of a country.
