ABSTRACT
The country has been highly susceptible to intra-state conflicts since the attainment of
independence, thus this research assessed the causes of intra-state conflicts in Zimbabwe
and the impact of intra-state conflicts on human security agenda. The main objectives
were to assess the causes of intra-state conflicts in Zimbabwe, to analyze how intra-state
conflict affect human security and to proffer recommendations on how intra-state
conflicts can be managed as part of the human security agenda. The research collected
data using random sampling method, from government officials, war vets, general
population at large and eye witnesses and victims around the country through the use of
questionnaires and interviews as methods of data gathering. Thematic approach was
used in data analysis. The general conclusion was that in as much as intra-state conflicts
have occurred in Zimbabwe they have severely impacted human security in different ways
talk of loss of lives, destruction of infrastructure which is mainly because of the failure of
the social contract between the government and the people thereby their negative impacts
have retarded growth and development in Zimbabwe while an end to them seems obscure.
Recommendation brought forward to minimise or eradicate intra-state conflicts and
promote human security agenda include committed and sincere leadership, even
distribution of resources, protection of fundamental human rights, eradication of poverty
and finally provision of gainful employment especially for the youth and also putting into
practice the use of preventive diplomacy. What then are the causes of these unending
conflicts in Zimbabwe? How far have they impacted on human security and the potential
development of Zimbabwe as a county? What can we do to overcome this monster?
Answers to these questions form the bone of contention of this paper.
