Dateline Africa Events on the continent, 1 September to 6 November

Abstract

Since the last Dateline Africa column was published in the previous issue of New Agenda the continent has been wracked by newly intensified terrorist attacks in Somalia and conflicts in the Eastern DRC, far too many to be listed here. Strained mediation efforts continued – involving leaders from Angola, as well as the East African Community. The African Union has called for dialogue. Meanwhile, civilians have died, suffered and been displaced.
