This book, Silencing the Guns: Reviewing the Agenda and Reassessing Prospects, which forms part of a two-volume series, examines the African Union Silencing the Guns (STG) role in eradicating armed violence in Africa, wars, civil conflicts, human rights violations, and mass atrocities by 2030. The first volume delves into the history, theory, and practice of the STG. It accomplishes this by reflecting on how rising insecurity is fueled by poverty, armed conflict, resource-induced conflict, mass atrocities, political and economic marginalization, terrorism, insurgency, piracy, border insecurity, environmental degradation, illicit arms trafficking, election violence, and democratic erosion in Africa influenced its development and implementation in specific cases across Africa. The second volume reflects on the experiences from these case studies and ponder on the possible factors that have accounted for these emerging and contending challenges, with a view to forecast the prospects of STG in Africa in line with the Agenda 2063.
