First came the wars of colonial conquest, then the armed struggles for independence, and fi nally a series of civil wars. These civil wars have many causes, including the struggle over artifi cial frontiers inherited from colonialism, friction and rivalry among different ethnic and reli- gious groups, and the crude desire for power of some African leaders. During the Cold War, the situation was further exacerbated by interven- tion or “aid” from the former colonial powers and new superpowers. Although it has not been easy to prevent or contain these wars, increas- ingly efforts are being made by the United Nations, other international organizations, and African organizations such as the African Union to provide peacekeeping and provide care for refugees. For a continent that is poorly known and badly misunderstood to begin with, it is often hard to fi nd useful information about under- lying situations, groups and people involved, and even the course of wars—which is why this Historical Dictionary of Civil Wars in Africa is such an important book. The chronology tracks when civil wars erupted or were resolved, and which ones still continue; the introduc- tion puts the warfare into historical, political, and geographical context; the dictionary provides a wealth of information on each of the wars, the more prominent leaders involved (both those who make war and those who try to bring peace), liberation movements, and political parties and organizations; and the substantial bibliography presents indispensable information for those who want to know more. Guy Arnold, who wrote the fi rst and now the second edition of this volume, is a freelance writer and has become an acknowledged author- ity on Africa and the third world. He has been writing about Africa for four decades and his books have covered events in many African countries, including Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa. He has also vii Arnold_00fm.indd vii 10/17/2007 8:05:33 AM viii • EDITOR’S FOREWORD written Wars in the Third World since 1945, Historical Dictionary of Aid and Development Organizations, and Historical Dictionary of the Non-Aligned Movement and the Third World. The second edition of this Historical Dictionary of Civil Wars in Africa is not only updated, but it is also considerably expanded, since there are sadly now 30 civil wars instead of the 20 in the fi rst edition. It is an important resource for anyone concerned with current events in Africa. Jon Woronoff Series Editor Arnold_00fm.indd viii 10/17/2007 8:05:33 AM Preface In the eight years since the fi rst edition of the Historical Dictionary of Civil Wars in Africa appeared, much has changed, yet the level of violence on the continent remains high. Thirty civil wars are now re- corded as opposed to 20 in the fi rst edition. In Sudan, the 20-year-old war between north and south has fi nally come to an end, but another civil war has replaced it in the huge Darfur province.

  • Being Rwandan in Quebec the Influence of Rwandan Politics on Identity Formation, Social Relations and Organisation in the Diaspora

    Being Rwandan in Quebec the Influence of Rwandan Politics on Identity Formation, Social Relations and Organisation in the Diaspora

    Master’s Thesis Social Anthropology NTNU, May 2014 Being Rwandan in Quebec The Influence of Rwandan Politics on Identity Formation, Social Relations and Organisation in the Diaspora Linn Silje Opdahl Thun Abstract This thesis concerns Rwandese emigrants living in Quebec, Quebec, Canada, and the relations between them. It is based on 7,5 months ethnographic research in Quebec. The Rwandan diaspora in Quebec is constituted of individuals who arrived at different moments from the 1980’s onwards, for different reasons, and these factors are part of what influences their relations today. Both media and academia have shown a great interest in Rwanda and the Rwandese, especially since the genocide in 1994. However, the biggest focus has been on finding the reason for the genocide and the ethnic division that was at its root. Little attention has been given to the diaspora. The aim of this thesis is to draw a nuanced picture of the Rwandan diaspora, by linking the identity negotiations within the diaspora to individuals’ understanding of the history and politics of Rwanda; showing how attitudes towards the contested spaces of history and politics in Rwanda, affect the social relations of Rwandese living in Quebec. The fundamentally different ways of interpreting the past in Rwanda, is creating a schism in the population, both in Rwanda and abroad, and the Rwandan government’s policies aimed at the diaspora makes it an agent in shaping the diasporic reality. This is manifested in the two Rwandese organisations in Quebec, CRQ (Communauté des Rwandais de Québec) and AMIRWAQ (Amicale des Rwandais à Québec), whose goals and activities are similar.

    Colonial Army Formats in Africa and Post-Colonial Military Coups

    Scientia Militaria, South African Journal of Military Studies, Vol 35, Nr 1, 2007. doi: 10.5787/35-1-31 99 COLONIAL ARMY RECRUITMENT PATTERNS AND POST-COLONIAL MILITARY COUPS D’ÉTAT IN AFRICA: THE CASE OF NIGERIA, 1966-1993 ___________________________________________ Dr E. C. Ejiogu, Department of Sociology University of Maryland Abstract Since time immemorial, societies, states and state builders have been challenged and transformed by the need and quest for military manpower.1 European states relied on conscript armies to ‘pacify’ and retain colonies in parts of the non-European world. These facts underscore the meticulous attention paid by the British to the recruitment of their colonial forces in Africa. In the Niger basin for one, conscious efforts were made by individual agents of the British Crown and at official level to ensure that only members of designated groups were recruited into those colonial forces that facilitated the establishment of the Nigerian supra- national state. The end of colonial rule and shifts in military recruitment policies hardly erased the vestiges of colonial recruitment from the Nigerian military. The study on which this article is based and which examines Britain’s policies on military human resource recruitment as state-building initiatives, argued that military coups d’état in Nigeria can be traced back to colonial and post-colonial recruitment patterns for military human resources. Introduction Nigeria, built in the late nineteenth century by British colonial intervention, is Africa’s most populous country.2 Events in Nigeria3 since October 1, 1960, when it acquired political independence from Britain, furthermore attest to the political instability that the country experiences.

    BOKO HARAM NOTE n° 246 - Fondation Jean-Jaurès - 10 février 2015 REGIONAL ISSUES AROUND THE UPRISING Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos* *Associate Fellow, Africa hile the African Union plans to mobilise more than 8,000 men from Nigeria, Programme, Chatham Chad, Cameroon and Benin to fight Boko Haram, the following analysis House, London W focuses on the regional issues surrounding the crisis. The aim is not to concentrate on the origins or the social dimension of the sect; these have already been dealt with in field studies and secondary sources1. In a first part, the analysis shows that Boko Haram has been present in Niger, Chad and Cameroon ever since its birth in Maiduguri, in the Borno region, around 2002. Regarding territory, it also shows that we are not looking at an expansion of its area of control, but of its field of military actions since the armies of countries neighbouring Nigeria got involved in operations to erase the sect. In fact, the growing involvement of Niger, Chad and Cameroon in the fight against Jihadist terrorism has broken the mutual non-aggression pact that was in place. In an audio report dated the 6th of June 2014, Boko Haram threatened President Idriss Déby with reprisals if he was to join forces with Nigeria in their attacks on the sect. In addition to this, in an interview filmed and broadcast on the 28th of January 2015, a spokesman for the rebels stated that the group would stop attacking Niger and Chad if they stopped their offensive against the group. It appears that the international reaction to the threat of terrorism from Boko Haram could be a contributing factor in the future international expansion of a sect whose ire, until now, had been contained to Nigeria: they had not established links with a wider diaspora or coordinated efforts with other jihadist groups in the Sahel.
