Kalu discusses about the responsibility to protect and argues that though international community did respond to the crisis in Darfur, but that response has been insufficient. He sees an important role for African Union in solving the violent conflicts of African states. While dealing the maxim of R2P, author, argues that collective responsibility could be achieved if at the time of crisis it is recognized that for the self-empowerment of African states, regional African organizations, NGOs and citizens, that the AU is the first line of defence against pogrom on their citizens.

He begins with an explanation of the various components and stages in the process of conflict resolution. Chapter also delineates the various methods and reasons on why so many accord and agreement of the violent conflicts have failed within few years. Kieh infers that the peace-building process in Africa’s post conflicts societies itself is flawed as it is based on wrong assumptions. These need to be addressed along with other recommendations if significant number for conflict resolution efforts in Africa is to succeed. This edited volume on contemporary issues in African society has dealt with the issues which are in many ways is the continuity of the past problems of the African continent.
