Food for thought. I am somewhat familiar with MONUSCO's work in Congo and UNWRA in Israel, both of which seem to be leaving. OTOH in Haiti peacekeeping does seem to be doing some good. I somewhat buy the general argument, but then I'm not sure what specific countries and conflicts I would be confident in adding peacekeepers to.

My understanding is that information coming out of Ethiopia - in the various internal conflicts of the last few years - has been quite sketchy; I could imagine international observers would be helpful there, especially in preserving the unstable peace in Tigray (https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2024/10/27/another-african-war-looms).
