Can US peacekeeping fund end Africa’s endemic wars? A $550 million (about Rwf380 billion) initiative that the US announced this week to enable rapid response of African forces to armed conflicts should focus on regional standby forces on the continent if it’s to be effective, a prominent Rwandan academic has advised. Political scientist Jean de la Croix Nkurayija, a senior lecturer at the University of Rwanda, says regional standby forces in Africa have the potential to effectively carry out peace missions. “People involved in peace operations need to understand the root causes of conflicts in which they intervene and regional forces have that potential,” Prof. Nkurayija told The New Times on Thursday. newtimes.co.rw/news/index.php?i=15809&a=79104
