    The military junta in Myanmar weaponizes COVID-19 against its opponents

    Myanmar has since June been hit by the worst COVID-19 wave in Southeast Asia. And the reason is predominantly political. The military coup on February 1st has shattered society, broken the healthcare system, and by and large left people to help themselves at high risks. The military hoards both medicine and oxygen for themselves and persecutes healthcare personnel.

DIIS-forskerne Mona Kanwal Sheikh og Saer El-Jaichi arbejder på et værk om jihadismens begreber. Her er et par af begreberne og den moderne jihadismes rødder i Afghanistan forklaret af de to forskere

    Danmark gik i krig i Afghanistan i solidaritet med USA

    Det politiske og militære kollaps og Talibans overtagelse af magten i Afghanistan har allerede ledt til debat om, hvad Vesten og Danmark fik ud af et 20-årigt engagement i landet. Et faktum er, at det danske bidrag medvirkede til at forbedre Danmarks anseelse i USA.

    Er Taliban ved at ændre sin rolle som jihadistisk aktør?

    Hvad kommer Talibans sejr og den seneste udvikling i Afghanistan til at betyde for den globale jihad-bevægelse. Bliver landet igen en base for al-Qaeda?  Og vil Taliban distancere sig fra transnationale jihadister i overensstemmelse med den aftale, de har indgået med amerikanerne?

    Militærjuntaen i Myanmar bruger coronaen mod sine modstandere

    Myanmar rammes af den værste corona-bølge i Sydøstasien og årsagen er politisk. Hærens magtovertagelse ved et kup 1. februar har tvunget samfundet i knæ og overladt folk til at hjælpe sig selv med stor risiko for overgreb. Militæret hamstrer medicin og ilt til sig selv og angriber sundhedspersonale.

How does such a situation shape hope and ways of coping with uncertainty? The book Hope and Uncertainty in Contemporary African Migration offers insights into migrants’ rationales and imaginaries before, during and after migration. It is now in open access.
