<br/><br/> ABSTRACT<br/>The establishment of long-term peace in the midst of military conflicts, such as the Anglophone crisis in Cameroon, has been extensively studied from a variety of angles. Fewer research has been done on when and why peace negotiations can result in long-term peace in the midst of a violence. A lot of research on mediation registers temporary success as evidence with the development other binding peace negotiations. The power relations between the parties and the management of obstacles to peace are found to be the two most critical aspects in this study. A well-designed agreement, according to this study, can adjust the power imbalances between the parties such that their quest for dominance does not become violent, and it can assist avoid the formation of new disruptors by not favoring one party over the other. When there is an unequal distribution of power, a well-designed agreements can be reached. The idea here is that, in order to achieve long-term peace in the midst of an armed conflict, mediators must develop good, balanced agreements, channel power struggles to calm structures and threats to peace should be well managed
