Former President Mandela has accused a Tutsi coalition of sabotaging peace efforts. Although the major Hutu factions were also absent from the ceremony, Mandela said "The smallest parties [the Tutsi groups] are those who are sabotaging this agreement." President Clinton and several regional heads of state were only able to witness the signing of a modified pact.

Nigeria: Nigeria: Chronology Of The Struggle For Stability And Democracy The forty years of independence for Africa's most populous
nation have not been easy. Welding such a diverse community into a single
nation with a stable political process is still at an early stage despite
its advantages in oil resources, good agricultural land, and a solid core of
