Whats "multi-track conflict resolution"?
Also the local, regional "actors" are currently up to their eyeballs in western jihadists thinking they're doing gods work whilst being incredibly shitty to locals.

Many of the regional actors are not up to their eyeballs in jihadists.
Saudi Arabia, Iran, Israel, Turkey, etc, are still fully functioning states.
The current actions of US and UK have already been based on regional diplomacy with regional actors - e.g. working with the Iraqi government and alongside other powers such as Saudi Arabia in order to use air forces to manage the conflict. Other actors that have been involved are INGOs, such as international charities that have dealt with displaced persons.
The UN, which works in the area, is still functioning.
The Kurds are still a force - and it has been debated whether they should or should not be a regional actor to be recruited in the local conflict management efforts.
