First, apartheid was not an ethnic conflict. It was the systematic denial of black South African human rights by the white South African minority. You should read Nelson Mandela’s autobiograhpy, A Long Walk to Freedom. The battle against apartheid was long and painful, with the loss of many lives and thousands of others emotionally traumatized. The South African government held a Truth and Reconciliation Commission so that anyone who wanted the opportunity to confront their tormentors would have that ability to do so as a path to healing and forgiveness.
I don’t believe any ethnic conflicts have been resolved peacefully. They usually erupt over deep rooted issues, like religion, land and use of other natural resources, etc. These types of conflicts tend to not have peaceful resolutions.
