“Decolonizing academia” in Norway after #RhodesMustFall
Compared with the student initiated #RhodesMustFall in South Africa, the public debate on “decolonizing academia” in Norway was mainly a debate among faculty. Most voices opposed the need of such a movement in an anti-colonial and social democracy like Norway. This article first demonstrates Norway’s former colonial complicity, both outside and inside Norway. While official Norway recognises its internal colonial past (towards the indigenous Sámi…

The international community's little interest in Chad and the desire for political stability among the few interested states are the main external reasons for Deby's success. Internally, Deby's use of violence and co-optatio…
