The United Nations is known to be the preeminent body to authorize and oversee international peacekeeping missions; however, new forms of African-led Peace Support Operations (PSO s) are increasingly common, innovative, and context-specific. This paper examines the evolution of African-led PSO s and argues that African-led PSO s are filling a vacuum and taking on responsibilities once assumed by the United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (UN PKO). The paper posits that the rise of African-led PSO s is due to the growing need for security and respond to the changing nature of conflict, the spread of insecurity and terrorism, and cross-border violence. Finally, the paper explores the implications of these operations for future missions in Africa, arguing that the future of African-led PSO s may be the preferred choice, with Regional Economic Communities and Ad-hoc Security Initiatives leading the way.

众所周知，联合国是授权和监督国际维和行动的卓越机构；然而，由非洲主导的新形式的和平支持行动 ( PSO  ) 正变得越来越普遍、具有创新性和针对具体情况。本文研究了非洲领导的PSO的演变 ，并认为非洲领导的PSO 正在填补真空并承担曾经由联合国维和行动 ( UN PKO ) 承担的责任。该论文认为，非洲主导的PSO的兴起 s 是由于对安全和应对不断变化的冲突性质、不安全和恐怖主义的蔓延以及跨境暴力的需求日益增长。最后，本文探讨了这些行动对未来非洲任务的影响，认为非洲领导的PSO s的未来 可能是首选，区域经济共同体和临时安全倡议处于领先地位。
