Debates about the failure or fragility of the state so far have mainly focused on shifting the blame and buying peace with loans and grants, much less attention has been paid to what to do, which requires multiple, multi-layered, and multi-actor methodologies, going beyond election cycles and hopes to the election will magically change something.

Unfortunately, the state and international organizations have done little to create a functional and useful conflict prevention regime within the country and at the regional level. Intimidation of citizens by war is still the cheapest and most effective tool of government, while in international circles the rhetorical commitment to preventive diplomacy and action is still high, while the commitment to its implementation is very weak.
