Program Director Alex de Waal has been named by the Atlantic magazine as one of twenty-seven “Brave Thinkers.” De Waal runs the Council’s Humanitarianism, Conflict and Peacebuilding in Africa Program, which focuses on concrete interventions to assist peace processes and on building the capacity of African scholars to contribute to peacebuilding and post-conflict development.

The program organizes two widely read blogs: “Making Sense of Sudan” and “African Arguments.” The “African Arguments” book series, published by Zed Books and co-sponsored by the SSRC, is currently the best-selling international Africanist publication series. As senior adviser to the African Union Panel on Sudan, de Waal contributes centrally to the peacemaking process in that country. He is an influential voice on human rights issues, especially the timing of interventions to secure them.
