In recent years, peace missions by the African Union (AU) and various African regional organizations have increasingly relied on the use of special envoys. These envoys are tasked with advancing peace processes in conflict-prone regions, aiming to strengthen African and local solutions over international interventions. However, the diplomatic interventions conducted by African special envoys have been insufficiently explored in academic research. The practical implementation of these interventions, as well as the necessary social, institutional, and contextual conditions for their success, remain underexplored.
