Foreign fighters and the trajectory of violence in northern Mozambique.

Happy to see our latest with @EColumbo2019 (@CSISAfrica) in @WarOnTheRocks!
warontherocks.com/2021/04/foreig… Foreign fighters aren’t new to this conflict. But the attack at #Palma--the latest in a streak of operational successes for ASWJ--& the group’s affiliation with the #IslamicState have elevated the profile of the insurgency, raising concerns of greater FF involvement in the future

Happy to announce that my study "Foreign Fighters and Conflict-Related Sexual Violence" has been accepted for publication with @ISQ_Jrnl! Foreign fighters present local insurgencies with strategic benefits—i.e. a reduced dependency on local civilians for material support—as well as organizational challenges—i.e. threats to intra-group cohesion. Combined, these factors raise the probability of rebel sexual violence.
