According to witness accounts, six individuals took a taxi from the city center of Bangui to run their errands. On the way to their initial destination, the taxi driver, who seemed to be an accomplice to this murder, went in a different direction and called other individuals who came to attack the passengers aboard the taxi. The attack resulted in the death of three of the passengers. Two other passengers were able to break away and fled the area; one was severely injured and was treated by elements of the Sangaris operation who arrived later at the scene of the incident. It appeared that all the passengers were Muslims, and the driver has been used by unknown groups as a disguised taxi driver to help commit this crime. MISCA would like to reiterate that impunity will not be tolerated and those who use religion to incite violence and cause harm to innocent civilians will be dealt with firmly. MISCA urges the population to continue to work closely with their com- munity leaders and the forces of MISCA and the Sangaris by providing any informa- tion that could lead to the arrest of those involved in yesterday's criminal attack and by reporting any suspicious acts or incidents that can lead to loss of human lives. MISCA reassures the population that, at this critical juncture when security is slowly improving and the people are once again beginning to resume their daily lives, efforts will continue to be made to enhance the measures that have been put in place to protect them. Regular patrols across the city will be reinforced by robust security operations such as those conducted in the area of Boye-Rabe, in Bangui, a week ago, to root out those who continue to commit acts of violence. MISCA and partners will also continue to work with the Government so that those who are bent on terrorizing the population face justice for crimes committed. 4 La Mission internationale de soutien à la Centrafrique sous conduite africaine condamne l'assassinat de civils innocents à Bangui Bangui, le 23 février 2014: La Mission internationale de soutien à la Centrafrique sous conduite africaine (MISCA) condamne le meurtre de sang froid de trois civils innocents, perpétré hier dans le 4ème arrondissement de Bangui, dans une zone ap- pelée «Combattant». Selon les témoignages qui ont été recueillis, six personnes ont pris un taxi du centre de la ville de Bangui pour faire des courses. Alors qu’elles se dirigeaient vers leur destination initiale, le chauffeur de taxi, qui semble être complice de cet assassinat, est allé dans une direction différente et a appelé d'autres individus qui sont venus attaquer les passagers à bord du taxi. L'attaque a causé la mort de trois des passa- gers. Deux autres passagers ont pu fuir la zone, cependant qu’un autre a été griève- ment blessé et a été traité par des éléments de l'opération Sangaris, arrivés plus tard sur les lieux de l'incident. Il est apparu que tous les passagers étaient musulmans, et que le conducteur de la voiture, utilisé par des groupes inconnus, s’est présenté comme un chauffeur de taxi pour aider à commettre ce crime. La MISCA voudrait souligner que l'impunité ne sera pas tolérée et que ceux qui uti- lisent la religion pour inciter à la violence et causer du tort à des civils innocents seront traités avec la fermeté requise. La MISCA invite la population à continuer de travailler en étroite collaboration avec les responsables communautaires, ainsi qu’avec les forces de la MISCA et de Sangaris, et ce en fournissant toute informa- tion pouvant conduire à l'arrestation des personnes impliquées dans l'attaque cri- minelle d'hier et en signalant tous actes ou incidents qui peuvent conduire à des pertes de vies humaines. La MISCA voudrait assurer la population qu’à ce moment critique, marqué par une amélioration progressive de la sécurité et la reprise d’une vie quotidienne norma- le, des efforts continueront à être déployés pour renforcer les mesures déjà en pla- ce pour protéger les civils. Les patrouilles régulières à travers la ville seront renfor- cées par des opérations de sécurité robustes telle que celle qui a été menée dans la zone de Boye-Rabe, à Bangui, il y a une semaine, pour neutraliser les éléments en- gagés dans des actes de violence. La MISCA et les autres partenaires concernés continueront également à travailler avec le Gouvernement, afin que ceux qui s’emploient à terroriser la population soient soumis à la rigueur de la loi pour les crimes commis. 5 AMISOM condemns attack on Villa Somalia Mogadishu, February 21st 2014 – The Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission (SRCC) Ambassador MahamatSalehAnnadif has con- demned the cowardly attack on Villa Somalia today. As people gathered for Friday prayers, a Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive De- vices (VBIED) went off at the entrance of the Presidential palace and was followed by ground al shabaab fighters. The Somali National Army soldiers supported by AMISOM troops bravely fought off the attackers. “I commend the actions of the brave security forces who fought off the attackers, hell-bent on shedding the blood of innocent Somalis. The attack was against, the Somali people, their institutions and their religion. Ambassador Annadif added, it is unconceivable to believe that people who say they are Muslims can choose a Friday which is a Holy Day in Islam to carry out this senseless attack. He appealed to the Somali people to help the Somali armed forces and AMISOM in their efforts to defeat al shabaab and its supporters. 6 Operational conclusions: Fourth meeting of the heads of intelligence and security services of the countries of the Sahelo-Saharan region 17 FEBRUARY 2014, NIAMEY, NIGER OPERATIONAL CONCLUSIONS The 4th meeting of the Heads of Intelligence and Security Services of the countries of the Sahelo-Saharan region was held in Niamey, Niger, on 17 February 2014.

  • Homeland, Identity and Wellbeing Amongst the Beni-Amer in Eritrea-Sudan and Diasporas
    IM/MOBILITY: HOMELAND, IDENTITY AND WELLBEING AMONGST THE BENI-AMER IN ERITREA-SUDAN AND DIASPORAS Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester Saeid Hmmed BSc MSc (OU) Department of Geography University of Leicester September 2017 i Abstract This thesis focuses on how mobility, identity, conceptions of homeland and wellbeing have been transformed across time and space amongst the Beni-Amer. Beni-Amer pastoralist societies inhabit western Eritrea and eastern Sudan; their livelihoods are intimately connected to livestock. Their cultural identities, norms and values, and their indigenous knowledge, have revolved around pastoralism. Since the 1950s the Beni-Amer have undergone rapid and profound socio-political and geographic change. In the 1950s the tribe left most of their ancestral homeland and migrated to Sudan; many now live in diasporas in Western and Middle Eastern countries. Their mobility, and conceptions of homeland, identity and wellbeing are complex, mutually constitutive and cannot be easily untangled. The presence or absence, alteration or limitation of one of these concepts affects the others. Qualitatively designed and thematically analysed, this study focuses on the multiple temporalities and spatialities of Beni-Amer societies. The study subjected pastoral mobility to scrutiny beyond its contemporary theoretical and conceptual framework. It argues that pastoral mobility is currently understood primarily via its role as a survival system; as a strategy to exploit transient concentration of pasture and water across rangelands. The study stresses that such perspectives have contributed to the conceptualization of pastoral mobility as merely physical movement, a binary contrast to settlement; pastoral societies are therefore seen as either sedentary or mobile.

  • The Case of Dongolawi Nubian
    Taha A. Taha Florida A & M University The lexicon in endangered languages: The case of Dongolawi Nubian Abstract. Lexical change and attrition is one of the main signs or symptoms of language endangerment that can eventually lead to structural changes. And although the phenomenon of language endangerment/death has received much attention in sociolinguistic studies, the changes in vocabulary associated with it has not been given the same attention. This paper examines the sociolinguistic situation of Dongolawi Nubian*, a language variety that belongs to the Eastern- Sudanic group of the Nilo-Saharan family which is spoken in the northern region of Sudan. More specifically, the paper analyses a sample of DN lexicon with the purpose of identifying the extent of semantic change, including lexical change, attrition, borrowing, and other additions. Analysis of data reflects extensive borrowing from Sudanese Arabic (SA), loss of items associated with traditional ways of life, some of which are replaced while others are not. The study indicates that, despite heavy borrowing, the basic structure of the language variety still remains intact, with no apparent major changes in syntax such as word order. Hence, it is argued that the DN situation is not hopelessly irreversible, and that the variety could still be revitalized as long as there is willingness, commitment, and collaboration of efforts and resources on the part of policy makers, speakers of the language variety, and other organizations concerned with language endangerment. Keywords: Dongolawi Nubian, endangerment, Sudan Arabic, attrition, borrowing. * The following abbreviations are used in reference to different language varieties: Ar. =Arabic; DN = Dongolawi Nubian; Eng = English; Egy.

  • Chapter 11 Prevention of Radicalization in Western Muslim
    Chapter 11 Prevention of Radicalization in Western Muslim Diasporas by Nina Käsehage This chapter opens with a brief definition of key terms such as “Muslim diasporas,” “prevention of violent extremism” (PVE), “countering violent extremism” (CVE) and discusses the role of Islamophobia in radicalization and its impacts on the prevention of radicalization. The size of the Muslim population in each of the selected five Western countries and the appearance of jihadist, left- and right-wing-groups, as well as the number of attacks resulting from these milieus are briefly discussed at the beginning of the country reports. The main body of this chapter discusses academic, governmental, and civil society approaches to PVE/CVE. For each country, some PVE examples are presented which might be helpful to policymakers and practitioners. A literature review regarding PVE/CVE approaches in each country seeks to provide an overview of the academic state of the art concerning the prevention of radicalization. Finally, a number of recommendations with regard to future PVE initiatives are provided, based on the author’s field research in Salafi milieus in various European countries.1 Keywords: countering violent extremism (CVE), countering violent extremism policy and practice, extremism, government and civil society responses, Muslim communities, Muslim diasporas, prevention, preventing violent extremism (PVE), PVE recommendations, radicalization, religious extremism, Salafism, terrorism 1 The following chapter includes extracts from the book: Nina Käsehage (2020). ‘Prevention of Violent Extremism in Western Muslim Diasporas’, Religionswissenschaft: Forschung und Wissenschaft.

Printed in the United States of America. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 96-75962 ISBN 1-56432-164-9 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report was researched and written by Human Rights Watch Counsel Jemera Rone. Human Rights Watch Leonard H. Sandler Fellow Brian Owsley also conducted research with Ms. Rone during a mission to Khartoum, Sudan, from May 1-June 13, 1995, at the invitation of the Sudanese government. Interviews in Khartoum with nongovernment people and agencies were conducted in private, as agreed with the government before the mission began. Private individuals and groups requested anonymity because of fear of government reprisals. Interviews in Juba, the largest town in the south, were not private and were controlled by Sudan Security, which terminated the visit prematurely. Other interviews were conducted in the United States, Cairo, London and elsewhere after the end of the mission. Ms. Rone conducted further research in Kenya and southern Sudan from March 5-20, 1995. The report was edited by Deputy Program Director Michael McClintock and Human Rights Watch/Africa Executive Director Peter Takirambudde. Acting Counsel Dinah PoKempner reviewed sections of the manuscript and Associate Kerry McArthur provided production assistance. This report could not have been written without the assistance of many Sudanese whose names cannot be disclosed. CONTENTS
