Conflict resolution in the Sudan

Description:: Intolerance in the contemporary African societies has been best manifested in bitter wars, loss of lives and property, rampant violation of human rights and in some cases total lack of law and order creating chaos in the continent. The complexities of such conflicts vary from one country to another making it impossible for the organizations concerned to find one single mechanism for conflict resolution. A lot more is to be done by the churches and the world bodies to explore common factors in social conflicts; to sensitize the participants in matters of religious tolerance, justice and peace; to highlight support and encourage the role of churches and other groups in promoting dialogue among the warring protagonists. This article portrays the situation in the Sudan and provides indications as to how the problems should be addressed in an enlightened manner. The article focuses on the issues that caused the Sudanese conflict plus the wars and their impact on the Sudanese people as their neighbours. It looks at the peace initiatives and makes pertinent suggestions and recommendations.
