Recent Trends in Pro-government Militias in Africa : A Useful Tool or a Threat?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This article analyzes the recent trends of pro-government militias in Africa. A total of sixty-eight active pro-government militias were identified in the examined period, 2003-2023. Inductive content analysis was then carried out to categorize these militias and determine the most common type of militia, the most frequent targets of their attacks, their average length of existence, and how they cease to exist. Based on this research, the most common type of pro-government militias in Africa is the emergency militia, which arises primarily for political-power reasons. The article also endeavors to uncover whether these militias also attack state targets and if they pose a threat to their supporters.
