From Suez to Sudan: UN Peacekeeping in Africa

Join us for a talk with Dr. Adekeye Adebajo, Executive Director of the Centre for Conflict Resolution (CCR), Cape Town. He will present his new book From Suez to Sudan: UN Peacekeeping in Africa. This book uniquely assesses the United Nations’ diverse peacekeeping roles in Africa over the last five decades, covering 15 cases in Africa’s five subregions: Suez, Western Sahara, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Rwanda, Burundi, Namibia, Angola, Mozambique, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Côte d’Ivoire, Somalia, Ethiopia/Eritrea, South Sudan, and Darfur. Adopting a historical approach, this volume provides an in-depth analysis of the key domestic, regional, and external factors that led to success or failure in each case, offering lessons for future UN missions in Africa and beyond.
