| Description | This chapter takes conflicts in Africa as its point of departure and discusses how they are both multiple and complex, yet their reporting by journalists often lack both nuance and detail. What is often forgotten is how, in African conflicts, coloniality remains a key factor. The ability or inability to be involved in defining a conflict has an impact on the way realities are imagined as well as their prioritisation by peace-making agencies. The problem is that international parties often bring “complete” positions which are misinformed and have made it extremely difficult for both interveners and conflicting parties to work towards peace. Recognition of obvious inadequacies in the positions taken by parties to a conflict mitigates against undue dominance by others and could unlock avenues to more sustainable dialogue, including peace journalism. Using the Darfur crises as a case study, the chapter argues that peace building and peace journalism only work if there is convivial dialogue in dealing with conflicts.
