Today, the pastoralists are Arabophone, including the Shuwa and Fula Mbororo from central Nigeria to the Central African Republic and to the northern Democratic Republic of the Congo in the case of the latter. This can create problems with other pastoral populations and farmers who have no tradition of complementary co-existence with nomads (Map 6.2). Unwelcome among the local population, they often carry weapons to deal with livestock raiding and are sometimes taken (rightly or wrongly) for militia. The situations are too complex to speak of simple wars between nomadic pastoralists and farmers.
