Abstract:
Background: Social conflicts is one of the global challenges leading to setback of development and flourishing of human societies. Children are the most vulnerable group whenever it happens. In sub-Saharan Africa societies the competition for land between farmers and pastoralists has been experienced in various areas, and children have been affected since in most pastoralist societies children are involved in cattle grazing and other domestic activities. Case Report: Herein we have a case report of the eight years old boy who was injured by the neighbour due to land conflict. The child got penetrating head injury after being arrowed to right side of his head which resulted into permanent right eye blindness. Conclusion: Harm to children during social conflicts is often caused by direct or indirect attacks. There is a need to have national approaches to stop conflict of all kinds in our societies for the sake of new generation. This can be done at local as well as national level by having clear and functional laws to stop land based conflicts.
