  • Em: the Timing of Terrorist Attacks As a Function of Funding Consistency
    Spend ’Em If You Got ’Em: The Timing of Terrorist Attacks as a Function of Funding Consistency Olga Chyzh May 1, 2018 Abstract Given the short time horizons faced by terrorist groups, inflows in funding should correlate with spikes in the number of attacks. This pattern, moreover, should be the most prominent for groups whose sources of funding are less consistent and predictable, as uncertainty further shortens the group’s time horizons and imposes additional or- ganizational pressures. I test these predictions on a subset of terrorist organizations whose funding is likely linked to drug-trafficking by proxying variation in drug pro- duction with the data on weather during the month of harvest. The statistical tests support the predictions. For groups whose funding is tied to narco-trafficking, the tim- ing and number of attacks closely follow the drug-harvesting cycle. Favorable weather conditions during the month of drug harvest correspond to spikes in the number of terrorist attacks in the current and subsequent months, whereas unfavorable weather conditions during drug harvest are associated with the reverse pattern. Introduction Terrorist organizations are inherently weak actors. Powerful terrorist groups with ready access to resources and large territorial control, such as pre-9/11 al-Qaeda, are more of an exception that the rule.1 Despite the popular images of vast training grounds and Swiss bank accounts, most terrorist groups are small in size, strapped for resources, and operating with rather short-horizons, due to the fear of detection. Meticulous planning and strategic timing of attacks are luxuries that most terrorist groups cannot afford.

  • Militancy and Negotiations: a Study of Suspension of Operation in Manipur
    Militancy and Negotiations: A Study of Suspension of Operation in Manipur Ch. Sekholal Kom* To resolve conflict and avoid the use of force, it is said, one must negotiate - Fred C. Iklé Abstract One of the most striking features of militancy in Northeast India in general and Manipur in particular is how infrequently the two sides (Government and the militants) attempt peaceful negotiation. Very often, the government refuses to grant the militants legitimacy as a bargaining partner. On the other, militants in the region are averse to go into negotiation with the government whom they confront. However, in spite of this phenomenon, confrontations do reach a point at a certain stage where both sides agree to negotiate rather than confront each other. Remarkably, the present tripartite truce popularly known as Suspension of Operation (SoO) between the Government of India and the state government of Manipur on one side and the Kuki militants on the other turns out to be a significant development. The paper discusses how this negotiation can be attributed as a technique of alternative dispute resolution in a multi-ethnic situation particularly in a conflict-ridden state like Manipur. Right since the dawn various militant ethnic groups. of independence of the Although Naga militancy was the country, Northeast first to make its headway in the India has been witnessing a region, movements by other series of challenges such as ethnicities followed it. Notably, the unceasing demands for autonomy militant activities of the Nagas, the and even outright secessions by Kukis, the Bodos, and the Assamese *Ch. Sekholal Korn is a Ph.

  • 20061017 Landmine Challenges
    WORKSHOP REPORT “LANDMINE CHALLENGES TO HUMANITY & ENVIRONMENT” Imphal, MANIPUR (INDIA) 17 October 2006 Manipur Committee for Social Concern (MCSC) came into being in 2000 to work to bring about peace for the people of Manipur. It brings together well qualified academics, intellectu- als and activists. It conducts seminars and field work with local voluntary contributions and aims to spread awareness to bring a solution to various contentious issues. The Indian Institute for Peace, Disarmament and Environmental Protection (IIPDEP) was founded in August 1993. It is a non-political, non-profit NGO Research, whose main ob- jectives are public education and awareness raising in the field of peace and disarmament. IIPDEP has been part of the Indian Campaign to Ban Landmines (Indian CBL) since March 1995, essentially conducting public education and awareness development activities in this respect. To date, the IIPDEP has organized 48 regional seminars and mine risk education (MRE) workshops in various state capitals and in volatile regions such as Jammu & Kashmir and Northeast India. It has also organized MRE workshops in villages along the India- Pakistan border. Geneva Call is a neutral, international humanitarian NGO formed under Swiss law and launched in March 2000 with the objective of engaging armed non-State actors (NSAs) worldwide to adhere to a total ban on anti-personnel (AP) mines and respect other humanitar- ian norms. To facilitate this process, Geneva Call provides a mechanism whereby NSAs, which are not eligible to accede to treaties, can commit to a mine ban by signing a “Deed of Commitment Under Geneva Call for Adherence to a Total Ban on Anti-Personnel Mines and for Cooperation in Mine Action”.

A mini India with rich cultural diversity and heritage of more than 34 different ethnic groups and with a history of more than 2000 years old, it was once a princely state till it merged with the Union of India on 21st September, 1949 (effective from October 15, 1949) and eventually got the statehood status in 1972. Nearly 2 decades after its merger with the Union of India, Manipur started getting embroiled in conflict with a number of insurgent groups. Insurgency started from the 1960s with valley based groups like UNLF, PLA, PREPAK, KCP, KYKL etc the agenda and demands basically to secede from the Indian Union and restore the pre-merger status. Over the years several other groups especially hill based Naga groups, Kuki groups and valley based Muslim groups each with their set of demands and agenda started raising war against the government pegging the total figure of Insurgent groups operating in this small state from the 1960s to the early 2010s to an astounding more than 60 which in itself is quite a phenomenon.
