LOVE, CULTURE, AND CONFLICT: SOCIAL FACTORS SHAPING MARITAL CHALLENGES IN KENYA

Abstract

Conflict remains a persistent challenge across Africa, with a significant portion of the sub-Saharan population residing in countries plagued by internal strife. Poor leadership has been identified as a key contributor to the continent's escalating conflict dynamics, leading to an alarming increase in war-related fatalities. This paper explores the multifaceted impacts of leadership failures on societal stability, drawing attention to the complex nature of challenges faced by leaders across various sectors, including religious institutions. By examining the interplay between leadership deficiencies and conflict dynamics, this study seeks to shed light on the underlying causes of Africa's ongoing turmoil and identify potential pathways towards sustainable peace and development. Addressing the root causes of leadership challenges is crucial for fostering stability and resilience in African societies, ultimately contributing to the advancement of human security and well-being
