Darfur Crisis: Platforms, Partners and Peace Agreements - The Pending Question: What Are the Reasons Behind the Failure?

Abstract

This paper focused on the Darfur issue and discussed the reasons behind the repeated failure to achieve sustainable peace despite the many agreements, declarations of principles and platforms.The paper touched on the historical background of the agreements signed between the government and the armed movements, and the movements that splintered from the main movements, where the result has always been the collapse of the agreements.The historical approach is followed in this paper, as the most appropriate for this type of research work. The paper also adopted the questionnaire as a means of obtaining the initial information directly from the research community.The results of the analysis and their indicators were discussed, coupled with the historical background of the conflicts in Darfur and the reasons for the failure of previous agreements.The researcher has come up with a set of initial perceptions, through which a public debate on the Darfur crisis and the prospects for a sustainable solution can be initiated in a way that avoids repetition of past experiences, which have adopted traditional solutions, despite its inability to put an end to chronic historical tribal conflicts in Darfur.
