Political Chronicles 2023 of the Great Lakes Region

Open access book
F. Reyntjens (ed.) - Institute of Development Policy, University of Antwerp (IOB)
This volume offers a survey of political developments in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda over the course of 2023. The year has been marked by a dangerous regional extension and internationalisation of the conflict in Eastern DRC. Rwanda has again been actively supporting the M23 rebel group since late 2021, and the Rwanda Defence Force (RDF) is operating on its side in North Kivu. Burundi has intervened in support of the Congolese army FARDC, initially as part of the East African force EACRF, and then on a bilateral basis.

Unpacking 'new climate wars'. Actors and drivers of conflict in the Sahel

Signe Marie Cold-Ravnkilde, Boubacar Ba - Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS)
As violence and insecurity increase in the Sahel, understanding the main causes and drivers of conflicts is of growing importance. In policy circles, the idea that climate change is causing violence and displacement is increasingly articulated in the popularised term of ‘climate wars’. This DIIS Report nuances this mainstream idea by arguing that violence and conflict in the Sahel are caused not by climate change, but by the presence of armed groups, jihadist insurgencies and military interventions with diverging political and ideological agendas.
