Examining convergence and divergence in the fighting patterns of Islamic State-aligned jihadist groups in the wider Sahel
Despite increases in the military capabilities of Sahelian jihadists over the last decade, similarities and differences between the fighting styles of groups with common transnational jihadist affiliations remain underexplored. This article compares the activities of the two Islamic State (IS)-affiliated groups in the wider Sahel: the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) and the Islamic State Sahel Province (ISSP). Despite a common affiliat…
Comparing Jihadist Governance in the Sahelian Branches of the Islamic State

This article explores this question through a comparative analysis of the understudied governance behaviour of two Islamic State (IS) groups operating in West Africa: the IS-Sahel Province (ISSP) and the IS-West Africa Province (ISWAP).

Decapitation strategies and the significance of Abubakar Shekau's death in Nigeria's Boko Haram crisis

This article takes a critical look at the impact of a recent leadership decapitation in…

Alors que la saison pré-électorale a été marquée par des formes inédites de tactiques de la terreur, les élections elles-mêmes ont é…
From ‘Owo Crisis’ to ‘Dagbon Dispute’
The politicization and manipulation of traditional chieftaincy which begun under colonial rule was increased by military and civilian regimes in independent Ghana and Nigeria. The intrusion of national politics resulted in an escalation of chieftaincy disputes leading to loss of life and destruction of property. This process is illustrated by the Owo crisis in Ondo State Nigeria and the Dagbon kingdom dispute in Northern Ghana
The African Union and Conflict Management
This paper reflects on the ability of the African Union (AU) to implement its conflict management mechanism. The response of the AU to the ‘military coup’ in Togo and its mission in Sudan are used as case studies. The emerging picture is that African leaders are now alive to their responsibilities for making, building and keeping peace in Africa. African leaders know that the days of non-interfer- ence and expecting the rest of the world to resol…
