This video features Mustafa Bosh, who explains why the Darfur 2030: Social Cohesion Strategy is needed, highlighting displacement, weakened coexistence, identity-based mobilization, hate speech, digital disinformation, and the erosion of trust between communities and institutions. He explains the limitations of previous peace approaches focused primarily on power-sharing and presents the strategy’s bottom-up, community-centered approach to rebuilding trust, strengthening social resilience, and developing a locally grounded social contract across the five Darfur states.
Mustafa Bosh also explains how the strategy covers all five Darfur states while recognizing their distinct social, economic, and environmental characteristics. He highlights the importance of connecting local governance, conflict-resolution systems, traditional land (hawakeer) arrangements, and local customs within an integrated but decentralized framework.
