A menudo, las grandes instituciones internacionales aplican políticas de resolución de conflictos a gran escala sin fijarse en los sistemas y estrategias endógenos de las poblaciones implicadas. En este artículo intentaremos presentar algunos valores, prácticas e instituciones locales que intentan resolver conflictos de todo tipo a pequeña escala en la región de Casamance, donde se vive uno de los conflictos más duraderos del continente africano. Para ello, presentamos los diferentes grupos étnicos que habitan en Casamance y algunas de sus instituciones más características a la hora de mediar entre familias, pueblos o comunidades. Y finalmente invitamos a reflexionar sobre si estas estrategias endógenas podrían ser utilizadas de forma coordinada como contribución al proceso de paz en Casamance.
Large international institutions frequently apply sweeping policies of conflict resolution without paying attention to the endogenous systems and strategies of the populations involved. The aim of this article is to present several local institutions, practices and values which are used in attempts at all kinds of small-scale conflict resolution in the Casamance region, scene of one of the longst-running conflicts in the African continent. The different ethnic groups living in Casamance will be presented together with descriptions of some of their most characteristic institutions for mediating between families, villages and communities. It is hoped that this will lead to reflections on whether these endogenous strategies might be used in a coordinated fashion as a contribution towards the peace process in Casamance.
