THE DARFUR PEACE AGREEMENT
Despite its flaws, the DPA attempted to address the contentious issues of security, power and wealth sharing, but it failed as it was rejected by two key faction leaders and their followers in Darfur. This resulted in a marked increase in hostile action to- wards AMIS, hindering its activities.
Despite these challenges, the AU established the DPA Implementation Team (DPAIT) with a mandate to spear- head implementation of the agreement. The DPAIT was to work closely with the chairperson of the Darfur-Dar- fur Dialogue and Consultation (DDDC). The DDDC, modeled on the Loya Jirga in Afghanistan, was to address issues ranging from security, claims of marginalisation and exclusion and socio-economic development to rec- onciliation. The central aim was to increase the local population’s sense of ownership of the peace process, thereby legitimising it.
Meanwhile, the inter-Sudanese peace talks in Abuja that culminated in the DPA were plagued by differences between the AU and UN, the other partner in the peace process. While the UN favored a step-by-step approach...

Many still believe that all the hard times are behind them. Those people believe that since they aren’t the ones having to face those harsh times. However, evil still exists till this day, like the Genocide in Darfur. The subject about Darfur has always been a delicate one to many. However, there are still many in this society that still don’t even have the slightest clue about what is happening over in Sudan. There have been many genocides in the past, and the most well known is the Holocaust, but it’s sad to think that it still goes on till this day. Furthermore, there are still many that haven’t done much about it. Society needs to find out about what is happening in Darfur and awareness needs to be raised as well.
Sudan, which is located in northeast Africa, is ranked number 190 based on the amount of migrants per thousand people with a total of -4.44 migrants per thousand people. For roughly 12 years (from 2001-2013), Sudan has faced many challenges that push it’s people out of the land and pull them towards other places. These factors are known as push and pull factors. Even though there are many challenges that come with immigration, the results are more rewarding than what they would have been in Sudan. After migrating out of Sudan, these Sudanese migrants also face long-term consequences because of their decision to move.
However, such goals came too slowly for some, who further disagreed that the nonviolent ...

One change they wish to fulfill is how they communicate locally and globally. They believe that communication is essential in achieving strategic plans effectively. In the past, ineffective communication has negatively impacted the peace keeping for a number of reasons including limited understanding of a culture or diverse views of the population. This has resulted in failures of expectations along with being unable to to sustain local support. Global communication is just as important as local communication because global communication builds public support internationally. If the media shows the conflict happening abroad, there is a better chance that the people of the world will intervene. In the documentary film, “Hotel Rwanda,” a journalist named Jack says to Paul Rusesabagina that it is not likely that people will intervene in the conflict because no one will care enough, “I think if people see this footage they 'll say, ‘Oh my God that 's horrible,’ and then go on eating their dinners.” Without global communication, people will not intervene or help out with the conflict, which is why the DPKO and DFS are aiming to develop public information activities to guarantee the awareness of information that has to do with peace keeping operations. Training and equipment is another factor in peace keeping that must be improved. Under-prepared personnel deploys to the field all the time, and as a result it often shows in challenging and remote environments. The Member States are trying to strengthen UN peace keeping’s training strategies by having experienced personnel to help. Equipment can be just as important in the field as well, it is essential to be fully equipped for building future capacity. Examples of equipment that could better the UN peace keeping strategies would be night vision equipment and naval vessels. Setting mission objectives and strategy is another change the UN plans
...on people face a similar fate in Darfur….” says one website. They say that America made promises to prevent any more bloodshed in the country, but never held up that promise. “The Khartoum government has systematically obstructed access to Darfur and blocked international efforts to establish a relief program,” says the web page. Because of the lack of effort Darfur suffers from the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today. In all of these events the UN will take steps after to rectify the situation and prevent it in the future. There is little to no way to guarantee that these kinds of tragedies will never happen again, however the UN can make steps to improve the world’s response and overall international and national laws to prevent future case as best as possible. Which is why the UN continues to update policies to keep up with the ever changing times.

The purpose of this essay is to adequately depict the current conflict in Darfur and discuss the effects that the Darfur Conflict has had on the neighboring countries, the Horn of Africa region and U.S. interest. In addition, this essay will explore how Darfur Conflict affects global concerns.
Over a period from 1960-1965, the first Republic of the Congo experienced a period of serious crisis. There was a terrible war for power that displayed senseless violence and the desperation to rule. There were many internal conflicts among the people. The country eventually gained independence from Belgium. For many countries this would be a time for celebration. Unfortunately for the people of the Congo this became a time to forget. Almost immediately after independence and the general elections, the country went into civil war. Major developed cities like Katanga and Kasai wanted to be independent from the Lumumba government. Different factions started to fight the government and Katanga and Kasai tried to secede from the rest of the country out of fear of the mutinous army that was out of control looting and killing.
The newest country in the world is South Sudan, which gained its independence from Sudan on July 9, 2011, as a result of a referendum that passed with 98.83% of the vote. South Sudan is one of the poorest countries in Africa, although it has the third largest oil reserves in Sub-Saharan Africa. Though it is currently a sovereign state, South Sudan still faces issues that can disrupt its stability and eventually lead into the new nation’s first civil war.
These reforms have to occur in an environment in which peace itself does not necessarily signify the end of violence but relatively secure environment for the reforms to flourish but in which peace settlements can continue to be contested. However, peace agreements can temporarily be slowed the situation that may exacerbate the warring parties to regroup and replenish arms supplies, as the case was in Sierra Leone, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Angola. Therefore, actors involved in peace building face somewhat daunting tasks in simultaneously demobilizing and disarming the armed factions and wider society, whilst also re-imposing effective and impartial law and

With IPSP open to the public, it signify the AFP’s intent to draw on the support of the wide spectrum of stakeholders. The paradigm shift in relation to IPSP of winning the peace rather than simply defeating the enemy will culminate to security, development and progress.
