Ngah Gabriel articles

ngah gabrielAuthor Ngah Gabriel writes for Democracy Chronicles from the Republic of Cameroon. Ngah obtained a Bachelor's degree in Economics and Management (option Business Administration) from the University of Yaounde II-Soa, Cameroon in 2012. In 2015, he obtained a Master's degree in Political Science and International Relations (option MDynamics, Management and Security of Cross-Border Areas) from the same university.

Ngah joined Good Governance Counsel (GGC) in 2013 as a Research Assistant working under the supervision of Dr. James Kewir and was involved in research on conflict prevention, regional integration, cross-border trade and public service management.

The highlight of his passage at GGC was a presentation of a Conference Paper on the Causes of Electoral Conflicts in Africa, presented before an international audience of experts at the University of Buea, Cameroon. Work on that paper spurred in him the desire to focus his attention on the paradox of elections as a mode of democratic transition and conflict in Africa.

His research in this area has led him to take interest in understanding factors influencing non-compliance with elections which according to him appear to be central to the study of conflicts in Central Africa and beyond.

Ngah is currently a Doctoral Degree student in the field of politics. His research is on "Violence as Politics by Other Means in the Central African Republic, 1991-2017".
