Descripción
In conflict situations, peace settlements and cease-fire agreements may often, end violent conflicts, but do not prevent renewed violence or guarantee a permanent end to conflicts.5 According to the World Bank, chances that renewed conflicts will erupt are high and even higher when control over natural resources is at stake.6 In the past two decades alone, Africa has experienced violent conflicts with successive cease-fire agreements and peaceful settlements, which have often been foll owed by outbreaks of new conflicts. Countries in sub- Saharan Africa such as Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Rwanda, Sudan, Republic of South Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Liberia, and Uganda are some prominent examples. There are several dimensions of these kinds of conflicts and they vary from country to country. In certain circumstances, the fighting stopped after a cease-fire or peaceful settlement, but there was “no peace to keep” and soon conflicts resumed: Burundi and Liberia are good examples. The United Nations had to act as a de facto administration of these countries until after successful elections. Somalia is on an extreme example that has continued to experience conflicts, with the exception of “patchy” involvement of African Union Peace Keeping Missions, the International Community and highly limited engagement of Humanitarian Organizations as a result of the protracted insecurity.
