Ethiopia’s spreading Tigray war is spiraling into a dangerous new phase, which will likely lead to more deadly violence and far greater instability countrywide. Fighting along the state border between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the deadliest since the Autumn 2020 war, could escalate further. More violence could surge in Zambia as tensions between ruling party and opposition supporters are running high ahead of the 12 August general elections. Our monthly conict tracker highlights deteriorations in thirteen countries in July. The Taliban continued its major offensive in Afghanistan, seizing more international border crossings and launching its rst assault on Kandahar city since 2001. South Africa faced its most violent unrest since apartheid ended in 1991, leaving over 300 dead. The killing of President Jovenel Moïse in murky circumstances plunged Haiti into political turmoil. Tunisia’s months-long political crisis escalated when President Kaïs Saïed dismissed Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi and suspended parliament.

Macale HE PHILIPPINE press mirrored the nation’s collective grief over the passing of former Pres- ident Corazon “Cory” Aquino last Aug. 1. For at least a week, the death, wake and funeral of Aquino—who fought colon cancer for 16 Tmonths—overshadowed other stories such as Gloria Ma- capagal Arroyo’s recent US trip. Aquino’s death was like no other in recent history, reminding everyone not only of her role in the overthrow of the Marcos dictatorship in 1986, but also of the need to resist all forms of tyranny. Because of its significance as well as the context in which Aqui- no’s death occurred, the flood of men, women and children that filled the Manila Cathedral and the streets of the capital to catch a final glimpse of her sent not only a message of grief and gratitude. It also declared that Filipinos had not forgotten Cory Aquino’s singular role in removing a dic- tatorship, and implied that they resent the efforts by the Arroyo regime to amend the 1987 Consti- tution, thus validating the results of the numerous surveys that not Turn to page 14 Photos by LITO OCAMPO 2 • JULY-AUGUST 2009 editors’ NOTE PUBLISHED BY THE CENTER FOR MEDIA FREEDOM AND RESPONSIBILITY Melinda Quintos de Jesus Publisher Luis V.

  • How Does Terrorism End?
    How does Terrorism End? A case study analysis of the MILF, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. Master thesis Thijmen Robert Hamer s1610481 Crisis and Security Management Leiden University June 2016 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank my supervisor, Alastair Reed, for his good advice and continued support. 3 ABSTRACT This Master thesis describes the case of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and its struggle for independence. The conflict between the MILF and the government of the republic of the Philippines (GRP) that stretched from ca 1980 to 2014 was used to answer the question “How does terrorism end through a political process?” This case was first placed into a historical context. Then, different lenses (State, group and context) were applied to the case that was divided into four distinctive phases. This relied on four important theoretical concepts derived from literature. These are: greed and grievance, spoiler roles, negotiation strategies and protracted social conflict. This led to the following main findings: The main reason why the MILF could continue the Moro struggle after the MNLF had agreed to peace, was the continuance of the Moro grievances. An acknowledgment by the government that the MILF was here to stay, opened up the possibility of negotiations. Militarization and internationalization of the conflict was detrimental to any peace, and served as a clear spoiler. Separating the radical terrorist elements from the more moderate rebels and international oversight was crucial for creating conditions for substantive and serious negotiations. Small steps in the negotiation process work better than comprehensive deals. A convergence or inclusive strategy works better than a divisive and exclusive strategy.
