unexpected processes that we didn't imagine.

So I mentioned the Great Lakes.

I mentioned also Sudan.

But nonetheless, the key challenge is how you convert a number of these dealmakings into more sustainable peace processes.

So you don't see a situation where deals are signed in pencil and they don't stick and they don't have any legs to stand on and that there's nobody doing the hard work

to negotiate with all the key players and making sure you've got all the pillars that are in place to get those peace processes to stick.

Yeah.

So there's a sense in which he wants peace and he wants that to be his legacy.

And as you and I would agree that he's North Star is the idea of getting a Nobel Peace Prize as well.

So all those things are true.

we were generally surprised at crisis group for example to see the kind of opening that we've got today in the great lakes region now there's a choreography of actors that have been involved in that qatar um crucial to that the african union african leaders um also um crucial to getting that that process um on on the way but

Ian, this is happening.

A peace deal has been signed and the fighters are still fighting.

So the question is, what is it going to take to convert that, to make sure that the M23 don't continue their fight into the heart of the DRC, that they don't pursue what appears to be an effort to replace the government, that you're able to check the ambitions of Rwanda

and that you're also able to deal with internal DRC dynamics.

So this is not a news story.

This is a region that has been at conflict for over three decades as well and managing those rivalries.

So that's one, and a big surprise, but a very good surprise to see that it's been involved there.

It's all those things.

I mean, as I said, Ian, this is not a conflict that just started this year.
