Summary

This quote suggests that intervention or mediation efforts are effective only when the parties involved in a conflict genuinely desire peace. In other words, unless the individuals or groups engaged in the conflict are motivated to resolve their differences and work towards a peaceful solution, external intervention or mediation efforts may not yield successful results. The quote underscores the importance of willingness and commitment from all parties involved, highlighting that external intervention alone cannot impose peace if the primary stakeholders are not genuinely interested in pursuing it.
