When Peace Interventions Become Elusive

The conflict in Darfur, rooted in longstanding tensions among ethnic and political groups in western Sudan, is marked by widespread violence, displacement, and human rights abuses. Whereas there have been concerted efforts by successive governments and different local, regional, and national stakeholders to resolve these conflicts through various transitional justice and traditional mechanisms, these interventions have largely been ineffective, often resulting in accusations of bias and unequal treatment by the Khartoum government. This article seeks to evaluate conflict intervention efforts by different actors such as the Sudan government, the African Union (AU), Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD), regional governments, and the United Nations (UN). The discussions will highlight both successes and failures of peace interventions in Darfur, the complexity of the conflict ecology in Sudan and the region, and the need to bring internal and external stakeholders to the negotiation table for sustainable peace
