Abstrakt: Africa has the experience of peacekeeping and military interventions since the 1960s Congo- Kinshasa crisis. Recently peacekeeping operations are found in large presence in the continent involving a number of stake-holders with broad mandates ranging from observing ceasefire to supervising elections, stabilizing states and assisting war torn states to achieve sustainable development. This paper inquires the features of peacekeeping operations and military interventions in Africa and discusses its achievement in ensuring security and sustainable development in hosting states which are ravaged by protracted conflicts. The paper was entirely prepared based on the literature review. It shows that peacekeeping and military interventions in Africa have been carried out by a number of organizations and states but with meager success in achieving peace, security and development in host states. In addition, the operations and interventions are increasingly breaching principles of peacekeeping operations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
