ABSTRACT
The study's primary objective was to determine the research question of whether the United Nations' participation aids in addressing security issues in both Sudan and Somalia. The ongoing conflicts in Africa are said to be evidence that the UN is powerless to stop or control violence there or to oversee post-conflict reconstruction. In order to combat instability and destabilization across the African continent, an effective regional and international security organization must share common principles and standards with the African Union and the United Nations. Furthermore, some academics contend that the United Nations' efforts to promote security in Africa have been ineffective as a consequence of the continent's persistent increase in armed conflict. The study's conceptual framework was developed after a thorough evaluation of the relevant literature. Based on the premise and an examination of the available research literature, a comprehensive and in-depth methodology was developed and described using a qualitative approach. The data collected and evaluated came from
internet sources, journal publications, and other sources. According to the findings, the
African Union, the United Nations Security Council, and other regional organizations
aim to run more successful peacekeeping operations in Africa, but many of the
conflicts there are intricate and entrenched. Additionally, while peacekeepers may be
crucial to this mission, African army personnel need to be trained and instructed in
order to translate their skills into real-world results. In order to bring stability to
Somalia and Sudan, the UN actively took part in a peace process, and both sides were
subject to a weapons embargo. Despite its best efforts, the UN mission in Somalia, the
nation with the most UN peacekeeping personnel, was unable to prevent disease and
hunger.
Keywords: Africa, Conflict, Dispute, Peace, Security, Somalia, Sudan, United Nations.
