Since the adoption of the STG, there have been a series of arguments and counterarguments regarding its potency in ending conflicts in Africa and vice versa. These violent conflicts involve a range of local, regional, and international actors. They are also increasingly transnational with the rising profile of extremist organizations with global connections. This has created fertile grounds for widespread human rights violations by non-state actors and security forces against a backdrop of eroding democracy. This underscores the need to take proactive action to ensure early intervention that prevents the escalation of conflict by developing and relying on robust early warning mechanisms and signals.
