Abstract
Without strong and immediate punishment for violations of agreements, monitoring processes are inadequate for attaining a cessation of hostilities. Incentives to silence the guns on either side are low. Targeted sanctions by the international community on individual leaders and their associates, especially freezing of assets, travel bans and blockage of financial flows for the parties in IGAD (Inter-Governmental Authority on Development) regions would make the warring parties ‘sit up’ and take notice. An estimated 50,000 - 100,000 people have died in this conflict and 2 million people displaced.
