Both parties to the conflict should be willing to be mediated by peace, even if there are parties who reject the peaceful position they are aiming for. It must be realized that the conflict has been going on for four decades, so that the struggle for the interests of the state, between regional and international ones, is too complex, therefore the internal interests of the state, regional and international must be put aside first. What efforts or methods, so that the results can be the foundation for carrying out the negotiations, which have been difficult to materialize. This is where Indonesia then tries to approach the trilateral meeting of African, Pakistani, and Indonesian ulama.
