This study focuses on the deployments of UN peacekeeping operations within intra-state armed conflicts in Africa. The statement of the problem and objective of the study is to demonstrate that amidst the significant roles that UN peacekeeping operations deployed within intra-state armed conflicts in Africa have played and are still playing, nonetheless growing geostrategic infiltration from hegemonic states as well as other member states from where troops are drawn from to constitute different operations have to be mitigated. This is very important for a successful consolidation of the mandates of different UN peacekeeping operations deployed within intra-state armed conflicts in Africa. The study makes use of both secondary and most importantly empirical data obtained from experts. The research method that fits the study incorporated by the author is the qualitative research method alongside its instruments. The results of the findings were parallel to the problem statement raised which of course proves that geostrategic infiltration aimed at guaranteeing the interests of hegemonic and other member states of the UN are apparent. The conclusion of the study and recommendations were proffered to mitigating geostrategic infiltration in UN peacekeeping deployments faced with intra-state armed conflicts in Africa after an in-depth analysis of the case study under review in this study. That is, the United Nations Operations in the Congo deployed in view of the intra-state armed conflict that hits Congo in 1960 ended a debacle. A debacle explained largely by geostrategic infiltration. Of course the Security Council is making every effort to mitigate the numerous challenges that have and are still impeding the UN peacekeeping operations from successfully consolidating their mandates in different intra-state armed conflicts in Africa where they have been deployed. This study therefore seeks to draw the attention of the international community to a veritable challenge which has become a pertinent stake (geostrategic infiltration) impeding the successful consolidation of the different UN peacekeeping mandates deployed within intra-state armed conflicts in Africa.
