Sudan’s Unfinished Democracy
The Promise and Betrayal of a People’s Revolution
Tuesday, June 21 ,2022
4:00pm BST | 11:am EST
Hosted by University of Oxford | African Studies Centre
A book launch & discussion with co-authors:
- Willow Berridge (Newcastle)
- Raga Makawi (African Arguments)
- Alex de Waal (World Peace Foundation)
Discussants:
- Magdi El Gizouli (Rift Valley Institute)
- Sharath Srinivasan (Cambridge)
This book tells the story of the Sudanese revolution of 2019; of how it succeeded in bringing down the long-standing rule of President Omar al-Bashir; and of the troubled transitional civilian-led government that was installed in his place. It sets the scrupulously non-violent uprising in its historical context, showing how the protesters drew upon the precedents of earlier civic revolutions and adapted their practices to the challenges of the al-Bashir regime. The book also explores how that regime was brought to its knees through its inability to manage the intersecting economic and political crises caused by the secession of South Sudan and the loss of oil revenue, alongside the uncontrolled expansion of a sprawling security apparatus.
The civilian protesters called for–and expected–a total transformation of Sudanese politics, but they found themselves grappling with a still-dominant cabal of generals, who had powerful regional backers and a strong hold over the economy. Internally divided, and faced with a deepening economic crisis, the civilian government led by Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok found itself in office, but with less and less real power, unable to change the conduct of political business as usual.

Sudan’s Unfinished Democracy
Tuesday, May 20,2022
18:00 – 19:00 BST | 1:00pm-2:00pm EST
Hosted by The Royal African Society
Join us for an important analysis of politics in modern Sudan with the launch of Sudan’s Unfinished Democracy.

Arms Exports to Conflict Areas: Engaging Youth in Countering Militarism
Thursday, April 28, 2022
12:00 pm EST / 6:00 pm CEST
Zoom Webinar
Despite state commitments to upholding the protection of human rights and international humanitarian law, the outbreak of war or conflict has little or no restraining effect on US, UK, or French exports – even when blatant violations of human rights and humanitarian law are documented. This is the key finding of a series of three seminal reports published last month by the World Peace Foundation’s program, “Defense Industries, Foreign Policy, and Armed Conflict,” funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
In this panel, we explore how activists might leverage these insights to advocate for change. Our speakers, activists from youth-led organizations, will address how activists on the ground can work together to hold their states accountable for arms exports to conflict areas
Panelists:
Ruth Rohde, Founder & Manager, Corruption Tracker
Alice Privey, Research & Events Officer, Stop Fueling War
Mélina Villeneuve, Research Director, Demilitarise Education
Greta Zarro, Organzing Director, World BEYOND War
B. Arneson, Outreach Coordinator World Peace Foundation, “Defense industries, Foreign Policy and Armed Conflict.”

Capitalizing on Conflict: US Arms Sales to Conflict Zones
Thursday, April 14, 2022
1:00- 2:00 pm EST
In partnership with OpenSecrets.
Join OpenSecrets and the World Peace Foundation for a discussion of how and why the U.S.— with sales over $10 billion each year — sells weapons to countries involved in armed conflicts. Our experts will explore how the role of industry influence, export controls and the government’s geopolitical goals all contribute to the spread of armed conflict with a special focus on conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa.
Speakers:
Jennifer Erickson, an associate professor of Political Science and International Studies at Boston College, will share conclusions from her report “On the Front Lines: Conflict Zones and US Arms Exports” in which she investigates export controls and their efficacy on the ground in conflict zones.
Dan Auble, a Senior Researcher at OpenSecrets, will present findings from OpenSecrets’ series of Capitalizing on Conflict reports, releasing the first of several case studies focusing on the ongoing conflict in Yemen and preview reports on Syria and Libya. Online resources for tracking the activities of the defense industry will be shared.
These reports are part of a project of OpenSecrets and the World Peace Foundation/Tufts University supported in part by funding from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. The project is investigating the effects of defense industry influence on policy and conflict and why the global arms trade has proven remarkably resistant to effective controls.

US REPORT LAUNCH
How the U.S. arms conflict zones: a discussion with Jennifer Erickson
Wednesday, March 23, 2022
4:00pm EST Virtual Event
Jennifer Erickson, an associate professor of Political Science and International Studies at Boston College, will present insights from her new report, “On the Front Lines: Conflict Zones and US Arms Exports” (World Peace Foundation, March 2022). In the paper, she details US domestic and international arms export controls, and what actually happened in five conflict zones: Libya, Nigeria, South Sudan, Syria, and Yemen
Dr. Erickson is an expert on conventional arms transfers and arms export controls, sanctions and arms embargoes, and new weapons and the laws and norms of war. She is the author of Dangerous Trade: Conventional Arms Exports, Human Rights, and International Reputation (Columbia, 2015).
This report is part of the research program “Defense Industries, Foreign Policy and Armed Conflict” funded in part by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and is carried out in partnership with the OpenSecrets. It asks: why, despite robust regulation mechanisms in key exporting countries and international monitoring efforts, has the global arms trade proven remarkably resistant to effective controls – with direct enabling consequences on conflict situations?

UK REPORT LAUNCH
Missing in Action: UK arms export controls in war and armed conflict
Report by Prof. Anna Stavrianakis
Tuesday, March 15, 2022
4pm GST | 7pm AST | 12pm EST
Hosted by Campaign Against the Arms Trade (CAAT)
This report is part of a project led by the World Peace Foundation, and funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, “Defense Industries, Foreign Policy, and Armed Conflict“.
This event explores the patterns of UK arms exports in the last two decades, with particular reference to arms exports to India and Pakistan in relation to Kashmir; to the Sri Lankan armed forces in the civil war; to Israel, used in the occupation of Palestine; and to the Saudi-led coalition in the war in Yemen. Speakers from CAAT, Mwatana for Human Rights and Palestine Solidarity Campaign will reflect on the role of the arms trade in sustaining these wars, and on avenues for progressive change.

Finding a pathway to peace and dialogue in Ethiopia
Thursday 03 March 2022 4:00pm to 5:30pm
Hosted by the Firoz Lalji Institute for Africa
The crisis in Tigray and northern Ethiopia has forced prime minister Abiy Ahmed to declare a nationwide state of emergency, as the spectre of a regime change looms over Addis Ababa. This puts the country at a critical juncture, as the prospect grows of an expanding civil war, raising fears the situation could tip into genocide. An immediate ceasefire, unhindered humanitarian access and a comprehensive national dialogue on reconciliation have never been more urgent.
This event will seek to unpack the current situation in Ethiopia and the competing narratives about its past and future. It will ask how close Ethiopia is to peace now, what needs to be done to achieve peace, who are the actors and what model can help achieve sustainable peace in a deeply divided society.

2022 LIEBERT LECTURE: NEW PANDEMICS, OLD POLITICS WITH PROF. ALEX DE WAAL
Friday, February 18, 2022
6:00 pm – 8:00 pm EST
Hosted by Florida Gulf Coast University, Ft.Myers Florida
We urgently need a redefinition of “pandemic” to look beyond the individual pathogen itself and understand the societal ecology in which pandemic diseases evolve, and the societal impacts that they have. In this lecture Professor de Waal will examine how the concept of “pandemic” has been shaped by positivistic science and the attendant concept of “conquering” disease, and how this overlooks alternative understandings of health crises and approaches to health that combine human rights with evolutionary science. He critiques the pervasive notion of a “war” on disease and explore how the concept of “one health” can become an emancipatory social project.
Alex de Waal is executive director of the World Peace Foundation and Research Professor at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.

New Pandemics, Old Politics
Ginn Library at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy hosts Alex de Waal on a discussion of his new book.
Thursday, October 21, 2021
12:10pm – 1:20pm
Cabot Room 702 or via Zoom.
New Pandemics, Old Politics explores how the modern world adopted a martial script to deal with epidemic disease threats, and how this has failed—repeatedly. Europe first declared ‘war’ on cholera in the 19th century. It didn’t defeat the disease but it served purposes of state and empire. In 1918, influenza emerged from a real war and swept the world unchecked by either policy or medicine. The biggest pandemic of the century defied the script and was scrubbed from history. Forty years ago, AIDS challenged the confidence of medical science. AIDS is still with us, but we have learned to live with it—chiefly because of community activism and emancipatory politics.
Today, public health experts and political leaders who failed to listen to them agree on one thing: that we must ‘fight’ Covid-19. There’s a consensus that we must target individual pathogens and suppress them—and not address the reasons why our societies are so vulnerable. Arguing that this consensus is mistaken, Alex de Waal makes the case for a new democratic public health for the Anthropocene.

The humanitarian crisis in Tigray, Ethiopia
Thursday 17 June 2021
2:00pm to 3:30pm GMT
The humanitarian crisis in Tigray, Ethiopia, is grave, urgent and under-reported. It is striking that for a region that is historically food insecure and the epicentre of famine in the 1980s, the current situation is entirely man-made: the direct outcome of war.
There is growing evidence that the belligerents in the war, specifically the Ethiopian federal forces, the Eritrean national army, and the militia from the neighbouring Amhara region, have engaged in a campaign of starvation. This includes destroying food and agriculture, pillaging and vandalising health clinics and water facilities, looting factories, shops, and schools. Widespread rape is not only a crime but also prevents survivors from caring for their families and fear of sexual violence prevents women and girls from engaging in essential activities such as travelling to market or farming. Humanitarian aid is desperately limited: deliberately obstructed and often stolen. All in all, this amounts to a clear instance of starvation as a weapon of war, and accusations are mounting of a crime against humanity.
This event will address these issues and seek to understand the ongoing emergency. It will invite conversation between humanitarian researchers and reporters covering events on the ground.
A Pandemic of Hunger:
Implementing UN Security Council Resolution 2417

Starving Tigray
Mass atrocity and humanitarian emergency in Ethiopia
Tuesday, April 20, 2021
5:00-6:30pm
The war in the Tigray region of Ethiopia has unleashed a major humanitarian emergency. With most of Tigray off-limits to humanitarian agencies and journalists, the true dimensions of the crisis are hard to determine precisely. The World Peace Foundation report, ‘Starving Tigray’ documents what is known about the causes of the food crisis, its scale, and its possible trajectory.
The evidence points to a campaign of widespread and systematic pillage and forced starvation, threatening deepening hunger and possibly famine in the coming months, and impoverishment and aid-dependency in the longer term. In this session, World Peace Foundation researchers will outline their findings and debate what can be done.
Join World Peace Foundation’s Executive Director and Fletcher School Professor, Alex de Waal, Fletcher Assistant Professor Tom Dannenbaum and WPF researchers as they discuss war and famine in the Tigray region of Ethiopia, with The Fletcher School Dean, Rachel Kyte.

Prosecuting Starvation Crimes in Yemen’s Civil War
Hosted by Case Western Reserve University School of Law
Monday, April 19, 2021 4:00 – 5:30pm EST
The Yemen Accountability Project’s release of its white paper “Prosecuting Starvation Crimes in Yemen’s Civil War” examines the use of deliberate attacks on food, water, and objects indispensable to survival as part of the Saudi-led Coalition’s attacks on Houthi rebels in Yemen. The white paper outlines the evidence of these crimes and makes the case for bringing charges against perpetrators of starvation crimes in Yemen. The panelists will explore the challenges of bringing charges against perpetrators and the potential avenues of accountability.

Defining an Unimaginable Crime: The Story of Raphael Lemkin
Hosted by United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Facebook Live event with a researcher and Museum historian to learn about Lemkin’s contributions towards helping survivors achieve a measure of justice.
Wednesday, April 7, 2021 at 11:00 AM EDT
Raphael Lemkin, a Polish Jewish lawyer, escaped the Nazis but lost 49 members of his family in the Holocaust. He coined the word genocide in 1944 to describe the deliberate attempt to wipe out a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. Lemkin devoted the last 15 years of his life to lobbying governments to recognize genocide as an international crime and changed the legal landscape. Despite his impact, he died alone and penniless in 1959.

Understanding Violence and Political Markets in Africa and the Middle East:
Conclusions from the Conflict Research Programme
Hosted by the Conflict Research Programme at LSE IDEAS
Monday, March 15, 2021
11:00 AM-12:30 PM EST / 4:00-5:30 PM GMT
After four years of researching violence, conflict and across Africa and the Middle East, what have we learned? Join us for the concluding event of the Conflict Research Programme.
The Conflict Research Programme has been investigating the logics of war and peace across five countries in the Middle East and Africa over the last four years. Findings cover the link between extremist identity politics and political marketplaces, the countervailing role of civicness, and ‘what works’ external interventions in such areas as security, humanitarian need or localised conflict resolution. Producing high-quality research published in academic journals alongside policy analysis to the UK government, the programme boasts a range of outputs that has the potential to shape academic debate and the development landscape.
In this event, CRP researchers will present some of the highlights from the programme including examples of impact, as well as evidence to support a new way of thinking about public authority and conflict as a social condition.

Video of the Event
Wednesday, March 3, 2021
11:00 AM-12:30 PM EST / 4:00-5:30 PM GMT
Join in a discussion for the launch of “Business as Usual: How major weapons exporters arm the world’s conflicts” — the initial report at the midpoint of a two-year project examining defense industries, foreign policy and armed conflict.
Over the past decades, international efforts have increasingly sought to control arms exports to countries where conflicts are taking place, especially where such conflicts involve human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law (IHL). This first report looks at the top 11 arms exporters, examining whether export control measures – including international treaties, national legislation and policy, and the EU Common Position – correspond to actual, empirical, changes in practice on the part of arms suppliers.
This report is part of the WPF research program, “Defense industries, Foreign Policy, and Armed Conflict,” support for which was provided in part by a grant from Carnegie Corporation of New York.
