Armed Non-State Actors
A series of African countries have internal conflicts involving armed non-state actors. Often it is unclear who they are and what their goals are. This project is underway and has resulted in a workshop and briefing paper on Liberia's LURD rebels - Liberia: Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD) - and a briefing paper on the MFDC in the Casamance - Senegal: Mouvement des Forces Democratique de la Casamance.
In 2007 we published a report on the Forces nouvelles of Côte d'Ivoire - Côte d'Ivoire's Forces Nouvelles. We are conducting research on Angola's FLEC rebels in Cabinda in 2008.
