Human Security Approach to Conflict Management in Africa Ndubuisi Isaac

Ceasefire agreements and peace settlements may mark the end of violent conflict, but they do not ensure peace and human security. Even after signature to peace agreements by belligerents, low-intensity hostilities might still continue. So many peace agreement and cease fires have failed to address the main root of the conflict. Sudan, after observing the last stage of Comprehensive Peace Agreement which is referendum, still continued in another phase of conflict. This new phase of conflict is described as international conflict. This happens because the basic needs of life have not been addressed. The fear of economic insecurity is pushing both the southern Sudan and Northern Sudan to grabble for Southern Kordofan, Abyei and Blue Nile. If there is alternative means of livelihood, the mentioned area will not breed conflict in Southern and Northern Sudan.
