The mining sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo
It would not seem too cynical to suggest that one of the principal driving forces behind the international community’s concern about, and commitment to, a successful outcome to the process of political consolidation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) was its interest in securing the formation of a legitimate government that could act as a signatory to mining contracts. The previous situation, in which the authorities in Kinshasa and the va…

African Security Review 15.1 Institute for Security Studies Benin: Under new management Richard Cornwell* In the middle of the 1970s there were few observers who would have predicted that Benin would come to provide Africa with examples of peaceful political transition.

Extracted from text ... African Security Review 15.1 Institute for Security Studies EDITORIAL Wars in the 'borderlands' Richard Cornwell The confl ict in Darfur has occupied a considerable amount of attention over the last two years and, for all the wrong reasons, bids fair to continue doing so.

Somalia
The Transitional Federal Government of Somalia (TFG) came into being in 2004 as the result of protracted negotiations conducted under the auspices of the Inter-governmental Authority for Development (IGAD). In many respects the TFG was the brainchild of Ethiopia, whose government had long decided that a resuscitated state in Somalia, which had been without an effective government since the fall of Siad Barre in 1991, would have to be kept weak or…

Madagascar
There would be few who could conclude that the African Union (AU) or its predecessor covered themselves in glory during the Madagascan crisis. Indeed, the organisations consistently went out of their way to accommodate the views of the incumbent, refusing to take a strong stand on agreements reached when these were no longer expedient to Ratsiraka. By concentrating on minutiae it diverted its gaze from the bigger picture, in which electoral fraud…
