Peace in Africa was one of the main subjects on the agenda of the 33rd meeting of the G8 which took place in Germany in June. Now the international community is continuing to mobilise itself to find a peaceful solution to the crisis in Darfur. Where is Darfur headed? Will the ongoing negotiations be sufficient to establish peace there? What will really bring about a new dialogue between the parties? Questions such as these make it necessary first to take stock of the situation in the conflict and explain the failure of the first peace accord.

In the end, all these stages reveal themselves to be not very effective and we will see in what direction the situation is moving.
