The Subtle Dynamics of Power Struggles in Tunisia: Local media since the Arab Uprisings
This article contributes to the analysis of local media and democratic transformation in Tunisia since the Arab Uprisings. It aims to assess the extent to which pluralism, freedom of expression, and participation—central tenets of democratisation—are evident at the local level. Tunisian local media, unlike the national media, is relatively free of governmental control. Local media is also decentralised. It is this autonomy from the government whi…
The post-Bashir era in Sudan: Tragedy or remedy
Almost a decade after events in Tunisia and Egypt led to the fall of long-time dictators, the Sudan eventually had its ‘Arab Spring’. In 2019, after six months of determined mass actions, the people of Sudan finally overthrew Omar al-Bashir. Since the fall of the dictator, representatives of the people have jostled with the military for power. This struggle has developed as the people, represented by the Freedom and Change (FFC) movement, have fo…

A critique of western representations of Isis: Deconstructing contemporary Orientalism
The meteoric rise of the group calling itself the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Shams (ISIS) has been accompanied by an equally stunning effort to explain from where the organisation emerged, what it is, and why people have been attracted to it. What this article identities, is that despite what appears to be a veneer of intellectual heterogeneity, a deep Orientalism permeates knowledge production about ISIS. Adopting a hybrid-postcolonial lens, t…

The roots of Afropessimism: The British invention of the ‘dark continent’
This article aims to interrogate the history of British perceptions of black Africa, to come to an understanding of the notions that set black Africans apart from Europeans at the time of the conquest and colonisation in the late-19th century. It is asserted that it is only during the time of the expansion into black Africa in the late-19th century that British perceptions of the barbarity, backwardness, idleness and inferiority of black Africans…
The Rise and Demise of the Keira Sultanate of Dar Fur
Recent events in Dar Fur have led to numerous efforts to explain the crisis. It is the intention of this author to emphasise certain characteristics of the history of the region that assist in formulating an understanding of the conflict ravaging the western Sudan. The Keira Sultanate emerged from the mountains of the Jebel Marra in the seventeenth century and within a century controlled almost the entire region of modern Dar Fur. The successful …
