Spanish term or phrase: Vuelan las alianzas en la región de los Grandes Lagos.
This is the heading of a translation for an NGO. I know literally what each word means but "volar" perhaps has a different meaning here?

Volatile alliances


Explanation:
Looks like it means unstable alliances. By using volatile you may express some kind of violence outburst. There you can see the semantic link between volar and volatile, btw.
