  • The Relationship Between Influential Actors' Language and Violence: A
    FEBRUARY 2019 The relationship between influential actors’ language and violence: A Kenyan case study using artificial intelligence Chris Mahony Eduardo Albrecht Murat Sensoy Abstract Scholarly work addressing the drivers of violent conflict predominantly focus on macro-level factors, often surrounding social group-specific grievances relating to access to power, justice, security, services, land, and resources. Recent work identifies these factors of risk and their heightened risk during shocks, such as a natural disaster or significant economic adjustment. What we know little about is the role played by influential actors in mobilising people towards or away from violence during such episodes. We hypothesise that influential actors’ language indicates their intent towards or away from violence. Much work has been done to identify what constitutes hostile vernacular in political systems prone to violence, however, it has not considered the language of specific influential actors. Our methodology targeting this knowledge gap employs a suite of third party software tools to collect and analyse 6,100 Kenyan social media (Twitter) utterances from January 2012 to December 2017. This software reads and understands words’ meaning in multiple languages to allocate sentiment scores using a technology called Natural Language Processing (NLP). The proprietary NLP software, which incorporates the latest artificial intelligence advances, including deep learning, transforms unstructured textual data (i.e. a tweet or blog post) into structured data (i.e. a number) to gauge the authors’ changing emotional tone over time. Our model predicts both increases and decreases in average fatalities 50 to 150 days in advance, with overall accuracy approaching 85%. This finding suggests a role for influential actors in determining increases or decreases in violence and the method’s potential for advancing understandings of violence and language.

  • Repor T AMISOM’S New Operation Juba Corridor in Somalia Has Received a Lot of Media Attention
    ISSUE 73 | SEPTEMBER 2015 In this issue ■ On the Agenda Kenya has briefed the PSC on its plans to either close or relocate Dadaab, the world’s largest refugee camp. Kenya argues that Dadaab is a hotbed of al-Shabaab activity. ■ Situation Analysis The PSC recently returned from a field mission to Darfur, where violence continues despite the Peace & presence of UN and AU peacekeepers. ■ Addis Insight Security Both parties to the South Sudanese conflict were left out of the discussions during US President Barack Council Obama’s visit to Ethiopia. Analysts say the AU has made huge progress in improving its early warning system. Repor t AMISOM’s new Operation Juba Corridor in Somalia has received a lot of media attention. It does, however, raise a number of questions about AMISOM’s tactics and its reliance on neighbouring countries. “ Once you move “ Darfur would be “ The AU needs the refugees into worse off without to become more Somalia, they are UNAMID pro-active no longer refugees Page 3 Page 6 Page 12 PEACE AND SECURITY COUNCIL REPORT On the Agenda The future of the world’s largest refugee camp remains uncertain Dadaab is the world’s largest refugee camp. It is also, according to Kenya, a hotbed of al-Shabaab activity and a staging ground for terrorist attacks. Kenya briefed the PSC on Dadaab’s future last month. It is no secret that Dadaab refugee camp is a headache for Kenyan authorities, who have long been advocating for its closure or removal. Take this statement from then-Interior minister Joseph Ole Lenku in November 2013, several weeks after the al-Shabaab attack on Westgate shopping centre in Nairobi: ‘All the camps should be closed and the debate on whether or not it is appropriate has been passed by time.’ Or this, from Kenyan Deputy President William Ruto, in the wake of the horrific al- Shabaab attack on Garissa University, which claimed 147 lives in April this year.
