THE GRAY ZONES: ESSENTIAL VARIABLE OF EXPLANATION OF THE CONFLICTUALITY IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA

Summary/Abstract: This scientific production brings out the conflictual dynamism which characterizes the political climate in Africa during the post bipolarized period. The type of anarchy that characterizes the contemporary world today is the continuation of international relation during the pre-cold war era. This situation was a result of the lack of world hegemony punctuated by the absence of a power which could regulate the world on its own. That is what serves as a distinction between internal political sphere and international political life. This political ovni which are gray zones characterizes a period marked by the deliquescence of interstate system from which it is derived. Systematized by a manipulation and the instrumentalisation of different actors who participate in the internal game, the safeguard of their self-interest is their main goal, to the expense of the population whose sovereignty is not only compromised but the concept of development is also utopic. The geopolitical and geoeconomical assets cuts across the ambiguity of gray zones that is the existence of resources and the paradox of under development; which complicates the understanding of a state which has difficulties in managing and is weak so to say.
