More so, in Northern Somalia, indigenous peacebuilding methods provided an indispensable ways
for mobilizing traditional elders to restore dialogue, repair broken relationships, and social order
after several decades of violent conflict (Yusuf & Le Mare, 2005). Additionally, using chieftaincy
conflict that took place in the Wungu Province of the Mamprungu Kingdom in Northern Ghana,
indigenous methods of peacebuilding helped to end the chieftaincy conflict which and in the long
run promoted community development in the Wungu Province (Tonah, 2007). Besides, after
several years of conflict among the Ibibio of Akwa Ibom State of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria,
indigenous mechanisms of Ayei (young palm frond) and Mbiam (Juju) played a key role in
ensuring peace in the area. According to Udofia (2011), the neglect of Ayei and Mbiam would have
had serious effects not only in Akwa Ibom State, but also in the entire country. Furthermore,
Tongeren (2013) adds that after the 1991 violent conflict in Kenya, where more than 1,200 deaths
recorded, it was the efforts of Wajir Peace and Development Committee led by local women, which
helped to advance serenity and community development in the area.
