Once World War II ended, the world suffered the repercussions of a long-scaled conflict and it was well-known that a new massive conflict would tear the world apart. In order to prevent that from ever happening again, a desire emerged for creating a new organization. One that (based on the League of Nations) would represent a world in unison for one common goal emerged with the purpose of pursuing peace and international security. In 1944, during the Dumbarton Oaks conference, the creation of the United Nations was decided. And along with it, the Security Council, expecting it to be the answer for potential conflicts that emerged as a consequence of a long and sustained conflict, as was the Second World War. In 1945, during the Yalta Conference the name “United Nations” came up, and with it, the voting procedure for the international organization. Later this year, on the United Nations Conference on international Organization celebrated on San Francisco, the United Nations Charter was approved.

  • Space, Home and Racial Meaning Making in Post Independence Juba
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Worldliness of South Sudan: Space, Home and Racial Meaning Making in Post Independence Juba A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology By Zachary Mondesire 2018 © Copyright by Zachary Mondesire 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS The Worldliness of South Sudan: Space, Home and Racial Meaning Making in Post Independence Juba By Zachary Mondesire Master of Art in Anthropology University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Hannah C. Appel, Chair The world’s newest state, South Sudan, became independent in July 2011. In 2013, after the outbreak of the still-ongoing South Sudanese civil war, the UNHCR declared a refugee crisis and continues to document the displacement of millions of South Sudanese citizens. In 2016, Crazy Fox, a popular South Sudanese musician, released a song entitled “Ana Gaid/I am staying.” His song compels us to pay attention to those in South Sudan who have chosen to stay, or to return and still other African regionals from neighboring countries to arrive. The goal of this thesis is to explore the “Crown Lodge,” a hotel in Juba, the capital city of South Sudan, as one such site of arrival, return, and staying put. Paying ethnographic attention to site enables us to think through forms of spatial belonging in and around the hotel that attached racial meaning to national origin and regional identity. ii The thesis of Zachary C. P. Mondesire is approved. Jemima Pierre Aomar Boum Hannah C. Appel, Committee Chair University

    New approach to peace needed in the Central African Republic Mohamed M Diatta Sixty years after gaining independence, the Central African Republic is still struggling to consolidate as a state. Despite many attempts to stabilise it, the country remains trapped in the vicious cycle of violence that began in late 2012. Violent rejection of the December 2020 election results threatens the 2019 Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation. A new approach is needed to break the cycle of violence and instability.

Its constitution, which was made possible by France, followed the request of the President of the Central African Republic to African Heads of State after the signature of the Bangui Agreements on 25 January 1997. However, the intensification of the crisis and the inadequacy of the legal framework of MISAB's intervention required the issue to be placed by the Security Council under Chapter VII of the UN Charter in order to address the events which threatened regional peace and security in Central Africa. It was made, at the request of the Central African authorities and the leaders of MISAB, consistent with Chapter VIII of the Charter.

This crisis stems from the army rebellions which broke out in 1996. As a result of these rebellions, a large supply of weapons is still in the hands of the ex-rebels and the militia. To address this situation, the Government of the Central African Republic requested that an inter-African monitoring mechanism should be established.

  • Red Lines: Upheaval and Containment in the Horn of Africa
    Red Lines: Upheaval and Containment in the Horn of Africa This is the final part in a series of three analysis features covering unrest in Sudan. The first in the series — Riders on the Storm — explored the dynamics and agendas which resulted in the Juba Peace ​ Agreement. The second — Danse Macabre — examined the origins of the uprising in Sudan and its ​ trajectory following the coup of April 2019. This final analysis situates Sudan’s current upheaval in the context of the Horn of Africa, and extends the scope of analysis to encompass conflict in Ethiopia and the region. Introduction Since 2018, the Horn of Africa has made headlines for a series of dramatic developments. Following years of protests in the restive Oromia region, a power transition took place in Ethiopia in April 2018.In December of that year, anti-government demonstrations began. This culminated in a coup in April 2019 which was greenlit by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) (Gallopin, 2020). A dubious peace deal was reached in South Sudan in September of 2018 at the ​ ​ insistence of Sudan and Uganda, months after Saudi Arabia and the UAE brokered a peace agreement in Ethiopia and Eritrea in July (see Woldemariam, 2018; Watson, 2019). ​ ​ ​ ​ Events in the Horn have not proceeded entirely smoothly since these changes, despite initial optimism that a more pluralistic form of politics led by civilians would take root in Sudan and Ethiopia. Sudan’s military and paramilitary forces have cast an increasingly long shadow over the supposed transition underway in the country, while growing tensions between Ethiopia’s new administration and its former rulers — the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) — led to fears of civil war, as disorder spread to several parts of the country (see International Crisis Group, ​ 2020a).
