Hundreds of journalists jailed globally becomes the new normal
Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), 13.12.2018
A CPJ special report.
For the third year in a row, 251 or more journalists are jailed around the world, sug- gesting the authoritarian approach to critical news coverage is more than a tempo- rary spike. China, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia imprisoned more journalists than last year, and Turkey remained the world’s worst jailer.

International Crisis Group, 19 December 2018, 16 pp. (Latin America & Caribbean Report; 72)
Public resentment is high in Nicaragua after street protests in April were crushed in a brutal government crackdown. To prevent further unrest, President Ortega should implement agreed electoral reforms while international actors maintain diplomatic pressure to create conditions for dialogue.

Time for a Modest Deal: How to Get U.S.-North Korean Talks Moving Forward
International Crisis Group, 17 December 2018, 16 pp. (Asia Briefing; 1)
Last June’s U.S.-North Korean summit cleared the atmosphere, but follow-up talks have accomplished little, meaning that dark clouds could easily gather again. To jump-start progress, negotiators should start small, moving incrementally toward re- alising the long-term goals of Washington, Pyongyang and Seoul. 5 (12)

Nigeria’s 2019 Elections: Six States to Watch
International Crisis Group, 21 December 2018, 30 pp. (Africa Report; 268)
Nigerian elections are high-stakes affairs often marred by street clashes and worse. As the 2019 contests approach, the risk of disturbances is particularly high in six states. The government and its foreign partners can limit campaign-related violence by enhancing security and promoting dialogue among rivals.

“Creating Panic” : Bangladesh Election Crackdown on Political Opponents and Critics
HRW, 22 December 2018, 43 pp.
This report, based on more than 50 interviews with political activists, students, and members of civil society, and analysis of court records and secondary sources since October 2018, documents repeated instances of arbitrary security force arrest and detention of protesters and political opposition figures, and acts of violence and in- timidation by members of the ruling party’s student and youth wings. Institutions, in- cluding the judiciary and the Election Commission of Bangladesh, do not appear to be fully prepared to independently and fairly resolve disputes around campaigns and elections, such as on registration, candidacies, and results.

Recycled Violence : Abuses by FARC Dissident Groups in Tumaco on Colombia’s Pacific Coast
HRW, 13 December 2018, 65 pp.
This report shows how flaws in the demobilization of FARC guerrillas – and in their reincorporation into society – helped prompt the formation of these new dissident groups. These groups, including United Guerrillas of the Pacific and the Oliver Sinis- terra Front, now batter urban neighborhoods and rural hamlets of Tumaco. These groups have engaged in scores of killings in Tumaco, contributing to a dramatic spike in homicide rates.

“We Used to Be Brothers” : Self-Defense Group Abuses in Central Mali
HRW, 7 December 2018, 129 pp.
This report documents communal attacks by armed groups against 42 villages and hamlets in Mopti region, particularly near the Burkina Faso border, and the town of Djenne, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The violence has led to widespread dis- 7 (12)
placement, hunger, and looting of livestock, affecting civilians from various commu- nities. President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita should ensure that Mali’s security forces impartially protect all civilians at risk from attacks by militias and Islamist armed groups. Judicial authorities should investigate and prosecute groups responsible for abuses.

Indefinite Despair: Mental Health Consequences on Nauru
Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF), December 2018, 21 pp.
The data shows that the mental health suffering on Nauru is among the worst MSF has ever seen, including in projects providing care for victims of torture.
MSF calls for an end to Australia’s offshore processing policy and for the immediate evacuation of all refugee and asylum seekers from Nauru – men, women and chil- dren. Refugees and asylum seekers must have fast access to permanent resettle- ment, alongside their families, so that they can begin rebuilding their mental health.

This paper focuses on Lebanon, a country which covers some 10,450 km2 and has received the largest influx of refugees from Syria in proportion to its own nationals.

Assessing the Development- Displacement Nexus in Turkey
ICMPD, November 2018, 60 pp. (Working paper) 8 (12)
The ongoing Syria conflict has caused one of the worst humanitarian crises of the century, forcefully displacing nearly 12 million Syrians from their homes. As of July 2018, the number of those fleeing the conflict and seeking asylum in neighbouring countries had surpassed 5.6 million (UNHCR, 2018). With the highest concentra- tions of Syrian refugees in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt, both displaced Syrians and their host communities face increasing and protracted challenges. Tur- key, which shares its longest land border with Syria, is one of the countries most af- fected by the conflict and the subsequent refugee influx. In 2015, Turkey became the world’s largest refugee-hosting country in absolute numbers. More than 3.5 mil- lion Syrians were registered under temporary protection in Turkey as of July 2018 (DGMM, 2018b). Among the major refugee-hosting countries in the region, Turkey currently has the largest population of Syrian refugees.
