Cultural Tip
In French, using the modal verb pouvoir + infinitive (peut aider) is the most natural way to ask about ability. The preposition ‘avec’ is preferred when you want someone to work *with* the conflict, i.e., to assist the parties involved. If you want to stress the act of mediation, ‘intervenir dans’ or ‘aider à résoudre’ are more precise. Remember to keep a polite tone; adding ‘s’il vous plaît’ at the end makes the request softer: ‘Qui peut aider avec ce conflit, s’il vous plaît ?’
