Coups from Below
By: Kandeh, Jimmy D.
Published by: Palgrave Macmillan
"Coups from Below "represents the first major effort at studying coups carried out by the lumpen section or the subalterns of the armed forces of African states. No previous study has attempted to examine coup making by those in the bottom ranks of the military as a distinct pattern of intervention in African studies. Kandeh examines this pattern as broadly symptomatic of state failure, especially the inability of political leaders to institutionalize power, eradicate mass poverty and promote socioeconomic development.

Darfur
By: Flint, Julie; de Waal, Alex
Published by: Zed Books
Sudan‘s westernmost region, Darfur, sprang into notoriety early in 2004 when a war of hideous proportions unleashed what the United Nations called ‘the world‘s worst humanitarian crisis‘. Since then, the conflict has been simplified to pictures of sprawling refugee camps and lurid accounts of ‘Arabs‘ murdering ‘Africans.‘ Behind these images lies a complex story of a remote region of Africa. This book details the history of Darfur, its conflicts, and the designs on the region by the governments in Khartoum and Tripoli. It investigates the identity of the infamous ‘Janjawiid‘ militia and the nature of the insurrection, charts the unfolding crisis and the international response, and concludes by asking what the future holds in store.
