AB  - The study attempts to examine the prospect for maintaining peace in African continent. It specifically examines the factors that establish and enhance peace as a central factor to African development. It also look at the possibility of creating a better world where people with sense of human decency and belief in ultimate goodness of humanity can live peacefully and realize their aims, devoid of the circle of violence which perpetually hunts Africa. This is imperative as scholarly perspectives and observations uphold peace as a central factor for the development of African nations.  Employing the critical and analytic method, we are able to x-ray the African situation and cursorily identify the specific factors that undermine African development. The study ultimately submits that the notion of common good is prerequisite for African development.
