Failures of the UN in Africa seem to confirm that the UN has to seek more support from African states and regional organizations to help address the complex nature of conflict in the continent. However, under the present circumstances, African contributions to the UN's multilateral peacekeeping operations in Africa come mostly through the contribution of troops. Africa's poverty and underdevelopment are the obvious reasons for its limited contributions.Most African states are going through internal security problems.
