The Role of Diasporas in Homeland Conflict Resolution

Quick fact

Diasporas can be both peacemakers and peace-breakers. For example, the Eritrean diaspora's financial support helped sustain a rebellion, but diaspora groups have also played crucial roles in brokering peace in places like Northern Ireland and Somaliland.

Why this is interesting

You've heard of the 'diaspora vote' and diaspora sending money home, but did you know that these far-away communities can literally decide whether a peace deal succeeds or fails?
