The new year has begun with a grim sense that there are too many global conflicts and crises happening simultaneously, with many of the old tools of aid, diplomacy, and multilateralism blunted. Every January, Foreign Policy runs “10 Conflicts to Watch,” an essay compiled by the International Crisis Group, an independent body that speaks to all sides and tries to offer advice on preventing and resolving war.
I sat down with the group’s president and CEO, Comfort Ero, to discuss some of the conflicts that get less attention—Sudan, Haiti, and Myanmar, as examples—and to try and understand why it seems the world is less able to deter leaders from escalating crises into war. Subscribers can watch the full discussion on the video box atop this page or listen to the FP Live podcast. What follows here is a lightly edited and condensed transcript.
