From 12 to 14 July 2008, Lt. General Lazaro Sumbeiywo, the former chief of staff of the Kenyan armed forces, participated as a lecturer in a training workshop on conflict resolution and peacebuilding for a Darfurian armed non-state actor. This short article is based on these lectures and thus directly addresses armed non-state actors preparing for peace negotiations. It covers all of the main issues involved in preparation for negotiations, as well as the strategies and tactics of a negotiator during the negotiations phase, while also addressing, in parallel, the necessary qualities of a good negotiator.
