East-South military alterglobalization in the Cold War and today
The challenges of rebuilding Somalia’s security forces
After the fall of the Siad Barre regime, Somalia experienced a major power and security vacuum that enabled actors such as al-Shabaab to emerge as significant threats to both Somalia and the wider Horn of Africa. In response, the African Union deployed successive missions, including the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS), and most recently the African Union Support and Stabilization …
Peacekeeping From Above
The nature of armed conflicts and conflict resolution efforts has, in the last couple of decades, undergone a significant transformation that was accelerated by rapid technological advancement. Digitalization and the transformative potential of artificial intelligence have seemingly the potential not only to escalate tensions, but also to enhance situational awareness, support monitoring, and facilitate data collection for peace and state-buildin…
The Western Sahara Fiasco of 1899
Spain in 1898–99 intended to lease “its” West African colony, Rio de Oro, today’s Western Sahara, to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. This article presents new archival evidence in order to show why this initiative was thwarted. The authors conclude that the Austro-Hungarian Empire failed to acquire colonies in Western Sahara and elsewhere due to the lack of appropriate means, opportunities, and also the internal Hungarian resistance; coupled with …

Somalia
In Somalia, the National Security Service (NSS) was the first attempt to establish an intelligence agency in the country after the colonial period. The NSS was modeled after the Soviet Committee for State Security (KGB) and was tasked with intelligence, information gathering, and reconnaissance, among others. It was dissolved in 1990, only to be reestablished over two decades later as the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA). The form…

Handbook of Terrorist and Insurgent Groups
There have been several developments in the field of terrorism in the post-9/11 era, which academics and policymakers continue to unravel and debate today. One of these is the emergence and increase in what has been dubbed “homegrown” terrorism. As with most issues related to terrorism, the concept of homegrown terrorism is contentious and much debated. This chapter intends to deconstruct the phenomenon. It will provide an account of our efforts …

Terrorism and Counter-Terrorism in Modern Sub-Saharan Africa
Countering Extremist Violence and Terrorism in Cabo Delgado
Radical Islamic insurgency and violent extremism have claimed over 5,250 lives and forcibly displaced at least 734,000 people in Cabo Delgado, northern Mozambique over the past six and a half years. Counter-insurgency efforts of the government to date have mainly focused on a military- and security-based response, paying less attention to the structural drivers of extremist violence, such as socio-economic inequalities, poor gov-ernance, historic…
Changing Nigerian Migration Trends and its Hungarian Context
In a country like Nigeria, there is a decades-long tradition of internal and international migration, which has begun to strengthen especially since the country gained its independence. While the postcolonial period - from the 1960s until the 2000s - was marked primarily by the internal migration of workers to administrative and economic centres, with the rise of unemployment in the 2000s, the international migration of the Nigerians also strengt…

Analyzing the evolution of the threat al-Shabaab poses to Kenya post-Westgate attack period
In the last decade, al-Shabaab has carried out at least thirty terrorist attacks in Kenya, killing hundreds of people and causing damage to public and private infrastructure. The main objective of the research is to analyze the evolution of al-Shabaab terrorist incidents in Kenya in the post-Westgate attack period with regards to the nature of attacks. It can be seen there has been a shift from hard to soft targets, since after 2013 the group’s m…
Second-Most Populous Continent Gets Intelligence
A comprehensive analysis of al-Shabaab's secret service, the Amniyat (Somalia)
Hand-made Austro-Hungarian Maps of the Rio de Oro Coast
The two authors undertook an unusual task as part of a research – on Hungary and the Western Sahara issue – to reproduce manuscript maps known so far to only a few researchers. One of the authors of the study provided service as peacekeeper in Africa. However, when he was serving in the UN MINURSO peacekeeping mission, a Spanish colleague informed him that in 1899 the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy had almost bought Rio de Oro – present-day Western Sa…
How many faces might migration have
AdLibrum Publishers recently published the book titled Two Faces of European Migration. The author, Viktor Glied strives to express with the choice of title that he does not see migration in black and white but presents several perspectives. This may even mean that the book will not generate huge revenue for the author, but during the reading it became clear to me that Viktor Glied is not interested in the number of copies sold, but rather he exa…
Turkey’s growing interest in the African continent
In the last decades major and regional powers became more and more involved in the economy of the African continent, where there is a so called “second scramble” for Africa’s raw materials. This is a major example of multiple economic and other possibilities Africa provides. Dozens of books and studies tell about the African presence of great powers such as the USA, China, Russia, UK or France. We know less about the regional powers that become i…

It begins with the short history of al-Shabaab as an introduction to understand the roots of the movement and how the resurgence of the group is tied to the effective management of the Amniyat. Then it analyzes the capabilities and capacities of the intelligence apparatus…

The Africa Policy of Russia
We have heard ever more about the growing Russian presence in Africa in the past few years, which might appear strange for many people. Those, however, who know the history of the Black Continent, also know that Russian presence is not a new phenomenon. Africa was an important place during the Cold War where the Soviet Union not only competed with the United States of America, but also with China. For those who observed the robustly growing US an…

Inferno Terror
Between the 18th and 26th of November 2016, 220 different locations went up in flames in the Israeli forest. Israeli firefighters were powerless to contain the fires, so army and police units had to contribute. Thousands of civilian volunteers also joined the fight against the fire. The Israeli firemen were unable to curb the continuously blazing fires, which is why the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, asked and received international support.…

War at the Background of Europe
In 2012 the seemingly stable country of Mali experienced a sudden collapse, this along with the declaration of independence of the brand new Tuareg state, the massive spread of extreme Islamism shocked the international community. Initial disbelief gave way to the UN Security Council’s resolution to restore Mali’s territorial integrity. Fueled by the fear of a greater and bloodier conflict and its overspill, limited military operations began. Alo…

Hezbollah and the Internet in the Twenty-First Century
Hezbollah is a significant power in Lebanon that operates as a Shiite political party and militant group. With Iranian support, Hezbollah has created a so-called resistance society from the Shiites neglected by the government that is based on three pillars: military infrastructure, a large-scale network of civilian institutions with the aim of improvement of the well-being of the Shiite population, and a media empire that has an essential role in…
The Lernaean Hydra on the internet
While certain areas of the Islamic State’s activities (propaganda, recruitment, etc.) are well researched, there have been few studies covering the efforts of the organization to neutralize deplatformization, even though its inclusion in a unified system makes it possible to successfully fight against the organization. The present study investigated the Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) applied by the Islamic State to maintain its online …
