INDESTRUCTIBLE PEACE AND CONFIDENCE IN AFRICA: STRATEGY FOR GETTING THINGS CONCERNING THE AFRICAN UNION

Abstract

In Africa, the prevalence of violent conflict and uncertainty is evident. Since the continent is primarily prone to conflict and has hosted more than one-third of all international armed conflicts in recent years, armed conflicts have become a regular occurrence in Africa. Most concerning and troubling is the resurgence of conflict in Africa following the Cold War. In spite of these difficulties and threats posed by conflict in the region, there is little or no consistent strategy for developing or enforcing appropriate policies for the prevention and management of these conflicts on the continent. As a result, the purpose of this study is to investigate these significant issues in order to offer a potential and long-lasting solution. Secondary data were used in the research, which was qualitatively analyzed. The root causes of uncertainty and conflict were made clear. The paper also made the observation that proper institutions for conflict prevention, management, and resolution on the continent are crucial to the possibility of achieving Agenda 2063 of the African Union. Because APSA and AGA share similar visions and goals, the paper suggests, among other things, that efforts should be intensified to harmonize the African strategy on the good governance agenda. While AGA emphasizes the comprehensive requirements of good governance, APSA emphasizes the instruments for effective conflict management, resolution, and, consequently, peacebuilding in the region. As a result, collaboration between the two is essential because it will guarantee a path to the Acquirement as well as the desired calm, certainty, and development on Africa's continent.
