Dans le cadre de Faire taire les armes à feu en Afrique d'ici 2020, Nonviolent Peaceforce s'est associé à Mission conjointe des Nations Unies et de l'Union africaine au Darfour (MINUAD) Former les jeunes Africains et les leaders de la paix au Darfour à la protection civile non armée grâce à un cours en ligne.

From June to July 2020, plus de 40 Darfouris de tous 5 États du Darfour Ils ont été formés à l'utilisation de la non-violence et à la construction d'un avenir pacifique au sein de leurs communautés. 

“In my community, we are using the method of nonviolence and we have launched an initiative on peaceful coexistence by spreading a culture of nonviolence in society by involving young people themselves from the various conflicting groups. … I think that the war for long years has weakened the shoulders of Darfurian citizens. We are looking for a way to find peace and stability, so we are now suitable partnersin the process of silencing the guns.”
