Afrika: Andy Wynne: Book Review: Questioning failed growth in Africa
International Socialism Journal nr. 150, apr 16 – side 220
Note: A review of Morten Jerven, Africa: Why Economists Get It Wrong (Zed Books, 2015), £14.99
Africa: Why Economists Get It Wrong provides a critical review of the recent economic history of Africa. Morton Jerven argues that, for most of the past two decades, mainstream economists have been faced with trying to explain the chronic failure of economic growth in Africa. In contrast, during the 1950s, the 1960s and even into the 1970s, many African economies actually grew rapidly, but this development was subsequently overshadowed by the economic problems of the 1980s and 1990s.; Andy Wynne + Abiodun Olamosu: Africa rising? The economic history of sub-Saharan Africa
International Socialism Journal nr. 146, apr 15 – side 117
Note: Sub-Saharan Africa is huge. Its area is larger than that of China, the United States and India combined or five times that of the 28 countries of the European Union. Its population, at over 930 million, is also getting on for twice as much as that of the European Union.; Ken Olende: Book review: The Comintern and the African Atlantic

Note: Robin Derricourt, Inventing Africa: History, Archaeology and Ideas (Pluto, 2011), £17.99
This book questions the assumptions and prejudices that appear as soon as Africa is considered.; Andy Wynne: Book review: Africa’s opening
International Socialism Journal nr. 130, apr 11 – side 221
Note: Issa G Shivji, Accumulation in an African Periphery: a Theoretical Framework (Mkuki na Nyoto Publishers), £15.95
Professor Shivji of the University of Dar es Salaam has been writing in the Marxist tradition since the 1970s when, for example, he wrote the classic Class Struggles in Tanzania. His latest project, of which this booklet is the first chapter, is an analysis of the place and role of Africa in the global political economy of neoliberalism. The central message of the booklet is that the crisis of recent years has provided an opening for the Global South to refuse to play the capitalist imperialist game, whatever the rules. He argues it is time to rethink and revisit the direction of development and dominant strategies.; Ken Olende: African independence: A dream of freedom derailed
Socialist Worker nr. 2224, okt 10 – side 10
Note: It’s fifty years since the high tide of the anti-colonial movement. Ken Olende looks at what happened to the ‘wind of change’, and hopes for a new era; Jesper Høi Kanne: Tyveri af jord i Afrika og ny spekulation
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 302, okt 10 – side 12
Note: En bølge af jordopkøb i hele Afrika af mellemøstlige, asiatiske og vestlige firmaer og en fornyelse af fødevarekrisen truer fattige afrikaneres eksistensgrundlag.; Leo Zeilig: Book Review: Jonathan Derrick: Africa's 'Agitators'
Socialist Review nr. 333, feb 09 – side 26
Note: Armed uprisings, protests and revolts, some lasting years, marked the first attempts of European powers to divide and colonise Africa. From the 1880s, European forces were often paralysed by mass resistance – Italy's devastating defeat at the hands of Ethiopia in the Battle of Adowa in 1896 or the 1879 Zulus' victory in the battle of Isandhlwana, for instance.; Simon Assaf: Multinationals’ scramble for Africa fuels new conflicts
Socialist Worker nr. 2113, aug 08 – side 9
Note: The high price of oil is driving a new scramble for Africa that will bring more misery to the continent.; Leo Zeilig: Frontlines: George Bush: a bad man in Africa
Socialist Review nr. 323, mar 08 – side 4
Note: George Bush's five nation visit to Africa last month received some absurd congratulations. Even the normally discerning Guardian journalist Chris McGreal could not contain himself, commenting in an article called "George Bush: a good man in Africa", that Bush's African HIV initiative is "transforming healthcare in Africa and has been praised as the most significant aid programme since the end of colonialism".; Leo Zeilig + Claire Ceruti: Slums, resistance and the African working class
International Socialism Journal nr. 117, jan 08 – side 69
Note: Mike Davis’s book Planet of Slums provides a brilliant account of the rapid growth of urban areas and megaslums, created by the hammer blows of the global restructuring of the world system since the 1970s. This article focuses on some of Davis’s claims about the working class, and concentrates exclusively on the situation in sub-Saharan Africa.; Editorial: Lisbon summit: EU powers join the ‘scramble for Africa’
Socialist Worker nr. 2081, dec 07 – side 12
Note: The summit between European Union (EU) and African leaders last week only made the news in Britain because Gordon Brown boycotted it over the presence of Robert Mugabe.
But the real worries at the summit in Lisbon, Portugal, were about imperial competition in Africa.; Ken Olende: Africom: The ‘war on terror’ spreads to Africa
Socialist Worker nr. 2078, nov 07 – side 8
Note: US plans for Africa are about increasing its dominance and the grip of Western multinationals, and they will only make the people’s suffering worse; The Strangling of Africa
International Socialism Journal nr. 107, jun 05 – side 31
Note: Poverty, debt, trade, aid – Make Poverty History is stirring hundreds of thousands to protest over them. But New Labour wants to trap activists in a neo-liberal, free trade agenda. Gavin Capps, Charlie Kimber and Jacob Middleton analyse the real roots of poverty and lay the responsibility at the system run by the G8.

International Socialism Journal nr. 107, jun 05 – side 78

Gavin Capps, Charlie Kimber and Jacob Middleton analyse the real roots of poverty and lay the responsibility at the system run by the G8.; Poul Erik Kristensen: Afrika – det kæmpende kontinent
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 216, jul 03 – side 4
Note: Da Berlin-Muren faldt i 1989 ventede mange, at der ville være ny vilje til at hjælpe verdens fattigste lande. Den kolde krig hørte op, og de globale militærudgifter faldt voldsomt i starten af 1990’erne.; Poul Erik Kristensen: Den afrikanske modstand
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 216, jul 03 – side 4

Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 184, aug 00 – side 6
Note: Mange mennesker opfatter Verdensbanken (VB) og IMF, Den Internationale Valutafond, på linie med humanitære organisationer: De er med til at hjælpe, hvis økonomien er gået helt i smadder. Men intet er mere forkert.; Tom Christiansen: Politisk tumult i Afrika: Vesten holder med vinderne
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 160, jun 97 – side 4
Note: Det var en stor dag for Afrika, da Zaires diktator, Mobuto faldt. Men det er samtidigt slående, hvordan Vesten lavede en kovending fra at støtte Mobuto til at afskrive ham som en korrupt diktator.; Martin B. Johansen: Afrika mellem oprør og tragedie: Hærges af kapitalismen
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 106, aug 94 – side 7

International Socialism Journal nr. 57, dec 92 – side 161; Alex Callinicos: Africa: The new scramble
Socialist Review nr. 4, jul 78 – side 2
Note: In the last decade of the nineteenth century Africa was torn off its historical course and dragged into the World capitalist system as rival European powers carved their colonial empires out of the continent. The ensuing ‘Scramble for Africa’ formed part of the build up to the first world war.; John (Peter Sedgwick) Leslie: Towards an African Socialism
International Socialism Journal (1st series) nr. 1, jun 60 – side 15
Egypten Se også: Mellemøsten; Cairo-konference 2002-: Sameh Naguib: Egyptens diktator er under pres
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 351, mar 16
Note: Egypten er under forandring, og efterhånden som besættelser, demonstrationer og strejker vokser, så gør selvtilliden det også. Venstrefløjen må tage udfordringen op, siger den revolutionære socialist Sameh Naguib.; Judith Orr: Håbet er ikke dødt i Egypten
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 349, nov 15

International Socialism Journal nr. 142, apr 14 – side 13
Note: The military coup of July 2013 was a serious setback for the revolutionary movement in Egypt. For army leader Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi it was an act of rescuing the revolution: for Egypt’s radical activists it was a counter-revolutionary offensive aimed to end the uprising that began in January 2011. The coup has been followed by sustained attacks on activists, by mass arrests and the return of torture and abuse characteristic of the Hosni Mubarak era.; Sameh Naguib: The Egyptian Revolution must spread to win
Socialist Worker nr. 2362, jul 13 – side 6
Note: When we say the Egyptian Revolution is permanent, it’s not just that it literally hasn’t stopped since 2011. It’s that revolutions don’t happen in a vacuum. Egypt and Tunisia are well integrated into world capitalism, and the revolutions have been expressions of the crisis in that system.; Revolutionære Socialister, Egypten: Occupy the squares: stand firm in the face of the conspiracy by the Brotherhood and America
Socialist Worker nr. 2360, jul 13

Socialist Worker nr. 2361, jul 13 – side 6
Note: Sexual harassment is very common in Egypt. We have set up organisations to challenge it in Tahrir Square. Statistics say over 99 percent of Egyptian women have been sexually harassed at some point in their lives.; Sameh Naguib: Egypt: Get ready to change the world
Socialist Worker nr. 2361, jul 13 – side 14
Note: The Revolutionary Socialists sprung from underground to play a leading role in Egypt’s revolt. Sameh Naguib explains how they built a party to shape the struggle.; Sameh Naguib: Egypt: Who leads the movement?

Note: Across Egypt protesters targeted the local headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice party.; Anne Alexander: Egypt’s revolution in a small town
Socialist Worker nr. 2360, jul 13 – side 10
Note: The return of millions to the streets of Egypt on 30 June follows months of rising social protest. Anne Alexander reports on the continuing revolution that is growing in strength well beyond Cairo’s Tahrir Square.; Sameh Naguib: Egypt: Four days that shook the world
Socialist Worker nr. 2360, jul 13
Note: What happened on 30 June was, without the slightest doubt, the historic beginning of a new wave of the Egyptian revolution—the largest wave since January 2011.; Jørn Andersen: Egypten mellem håb og elendighed
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 330, jul 13 – side 9
Note: I starten af maj begyndte en gruppe revolutionære aktivister at samle underskrifter på en kort erklæring på hverdags-arabisk om mistillid til Mohamed Morsi, Egyptens første demokratisk valgte præsident, med krav om nyvalg. Deres mål var 15 millioner underskrifter på ét års-dagen for Morsis indsættelse 30. juni.; Sameh Naguib: Second revolution brings down Egypt’s president

International Socialism Journal nr. 139, jul 13 – side 57
Note: A striking feature of Egypt’s Revolution is the extraordinary number of people engaged in struggles in the streets and workplaces, and in formal and informal organisations. The absolute numbers, together with the proportion of the population involved and the continuity of their struggle, may mark the Egyptian upheaval as unique in modern history.; Anne Alexander: Egypt’s rebels
Socialist Review nr. 382, jul 13 – side 4
Note: Like many of the things which have changed history, the “Rebel” campaign in Egypt started with a very simple idea. At the beginning of May, a group of young revolutionary activists launched a drive to collect signatures on a statement withdrawing confidence from president Mohammed Morsi and calling for early elections.; Pernille Cauchi: Egypten 2 år efter – modstanden fortsætter
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 327, mar 13 – side 4

International Socialism Journal nr. 137, jan 13 – side 35
Note: For 35 years Egypt was a laboratory for neoliberalism—a local state in which hegemonic world powers and financial institutions played out their strategies for the global economy. It was also a stage on which the United States and its allies rehearsed policy for control of key assets in the Global South.; Anders Bæk Simonsen: Egypten: Nervekrig mellem militæret og revolutionen
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 321, jul 12 – side 10
Note: Den kommende tid bliver en endnu hårdere magtkamp imellem militæret på den ene side og de revolutionære kræfter på den anden.; Egypt: Who will stand in election?

Socialist Review nr. 367, mar 12 – side 18
Note: International Women’s Day, 8 March, was established by socialists to celebrate the struggles of working class women. We look at how the fight for women’s liberation and revolution has gone hand in hand with three great revolutions – in Russia in 1917, Spain in 1936-37 and Egypt today.; Anne Alexander: The workers’ movement in Egypt
Socialist Review nr. 367, mar 12 – side 24
Note: A call for a general strike in Egypt on 11 February didn’t produce the desired effect. Yet the current strike wave shows no signs of abating. Anne Alexander looks at the strengths and weaknesses of Egypt’s new workers’ movement and the different forces attempting to shape it.; Anne Alexander: Our democracy and theirs: reflections on the Egyptian revolution
Irish Marxist Review (Irland) nr. 1, mar 12 – side 4
Note: More than a year after the fall of Mubarak, the Egyptian revolution has faded from the front pages and TV screens in Europe. Periodic upsurges of protest or spectacular examples of brutality by the security forces may force the issue back into onto the agenda of mainstream journalists and politicians, but the consensus for the most part is that the revolution – if there ever was one – is long over.

Socialist Review nr. 366, feb 12 – side 10
Note: After the recent election Egypt's parliament is dominated by Islamists, especially representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood. But, argues Phil Marfleet, the Brotherhood faces immense pressure from Egyptians to deliver real change and break with the military.; Anne Alexander: The Egyptian workers’ movement and the 25 January Revolution
International Socialism Journal nr. 133, jan 12 – side 101
Note: “It is midnight in Cairo”, intoned the BBC reporter on the Ten O’ Clock News bulletin, “and still tens of thousands are in Tahrir Square. One chant echoes again and again: ‘Go, go, go’. But this time it is not Mubarak they want to quit, but Egypt’s military ruler Field Marshal Tantawi”.; Revolutionære Socialister, Egypten: Udtalelse fra Revolutionære Socialister om krisen i Egypten
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 314, nov 11

International Socialism Journal nr. 131, jul 11 – side 77
Note: This article is a preliminary and incomplete account of an unfinished revolution. It represents a first attempt to explore the implications of the great wave of strikes and social protests which preceded Mubarak’s fall from power and dominated the first months of the revolution.; John Rose: Revolution melts all that was solid into air
Socialist Worker nr. 2256, jun 11 – side 4
Note: An official banner celebrating Egypt’s Revolution at Cairo Airport tells of “Egyptians making history again… what else is new?”
Allegedly the author of this insight is Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. His portrait, and that of US president Barack Obama, serve as a warning that the revolution’s fate is far from settled.
Western politicians are falling over each other to support the “Arab Revolution”. But for them “support” means “control”.; Judith Orr: Egypt: Movement resists attempts to stall the revolution
Socialist Worker nr. 2255, jun 11 – side 13
Note: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has moved in on Egypt. It has agreed a $3 billion loan with the military council government.

Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 309, maj 11 – side 7
Note: Både blandt borgerlige og marxistiske analytikere har det "arabiske forår" været sammenlignet med epokegørende hændelser som de borgerlige revolutioner i 1848, opbruddet i 1968 og omvæltningerne i Østeuropa i 1989. Således også Alex Callinicos, som i en baggrundsartikel i "International Socialism" sætter den arabiske revolution ind i et større perspektiv.; Andy Lawson + Anna Owens + Muhammad Shafiq + Kieran Crow + Unjum Mirza + Nick Grant + Charlie Kimber + Anne Alexander: Class struggle calling out from Cairo
Socialist Worker nr. 2251, maj 11 – side 8

Socialist Worker nr. 2250, maj 11 – side 4

In it he attacked the widespread belief on the left that socialism would come about inevitably, as the fruit of historical progress.; Phil Marfleet: Act One of the Egyptian Revolution
International Socialism Journal nr. 130, apr 11 – side 57
Note: Of all the startling scenes which made up Act One of the Egyptian Revolution, the events in Tahrir Square on 2 February were surely most astounding. When Mubarak sent gangs of plainclothes police to attack demonstrators, the protesters fought like demons. They first resisted, then drove back the baltagiyya (criminals/thugs).

Socialist Worker nr. 2340, feb 13 – side 20
Note: French claims of victory turned out to be premature as Islamist rebels counter-attacked in northern Mali’s largest city, Gao. The city saw two days of heavy fighting last weekend.; Jesper Juul Mikkelsen: Nej til angreb på Mali!
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 326, jan 13 – side 4
Note: Den officielle udlægning af Frankrigs angreb på Mali er et velkendt omkvæd: “islamiske terrorister” og “jihadister”, en trussel mod den internationale sikkerhed og for den lokale befolkning.; Magthavernes racisme dækker over imperialistisk krig i Mali

Note: Et af årets mest spændende udgivelser er kommet fra Tinariwen, et band bestående af beduiner fra Sahara. Deres skramlende, men stadigt forholdsvis tilgængelige lyd beskrives bedst som en blanding af beskidt blues og folkemusik som den spilles af Tuareg-folket.
Guinea-Bissau: John Newsinger: Cabral’s Marxism (A. Cabral: “Unity and Struggle” + J. Saul: “State and Revolution in East Africa”)
International Socialism Journal nr. 12, mar 81 – side 121
Note: The coup d’etat of November 1980 in Guinea-Bissau has placed a large question mark over the achievement of the PAIGC (Party of African Independence for Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde) and will inevitably herald a growing disenchantment among that regime’s admirers in the West. At such a time, it is perhaps useful to consider the character of the national liberation struggle in Guinea-Bissau and, more particularly, the ideas of its leader, Amilcar Cabral.

Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 218, sep 03 – side 5

Note: For første gang i årtier er det lykkedes et folkeligt oprør at vælte en diktator i den arabiske del af verdenen.

Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 3, dec 84 – side 5

International Socialism Journal (1st series) nr. 99, jun 77 – side 5

Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 295, feb 10 – side 2
Note: At den danske regering sender et krigsskib til Afrikas Horn for at deltage i NATOs piratjagt ved Somalia er ikke overraskende, da det ikke er første gang, at dansk udenrigspolitik bliver dikteret af Mærsk og Dansk Industri. Men at NATO-operationen „Ocean Shield“ er vedtaget med Enhedslistens stemmer er til gengæld både overraskende og bekymrende.; Etiopien på vej ud af Somalia

Socialist Review nr. 328, sep 08 – side 27
Note: by Jules Marchal, Verso, £16.99
Many readers of this magazine will be aware of the murderous Belgian colonists in the Congo. Under the reign of terror instituted by King Leopold II in the 19th century the population of the Congo was reduced by half and as many as 8 million Africans lost their lives.; Editorial: Congo
International Socialism Journal (1st series) nr. 2, sep 60 – side 4

Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 215, jun 03 – side 10
Note: Statsledere som George Bush og Tony Blair har udråbt deres krig mod terror som “det 21. århundredes krig”. Dette afspejler enten uvidenhed eller foragt, for verden over udspiller der sig en lang række krige, der er langt blodigere end det samlede antal terrorhandlinger.; Charlie Kimber: Dark heart of imperialism (Ludo De Witte: "The assassination of Lumumba")

Socialist Review nr. 3, jun 78 – side 2
Note: May 23: The last few days have been like a rerun of the early 1960s.

Kenya was long seen in the West as a stable country where journalists, NGOs and Western businesses could set up their headquarters. In 2002 the long entrenched and notoriously corrupt government of Daniel Arap Moi was finally removed in a remarkable election. Two central features were the degree of public participation and the break from the entrenched “tribalism” that has plagued the country since independence.; Ken Olende: Kenya's Mau Mau war: veterans demand justice from Britain

In Final Solutions Sabby Sagall analyses the nature and the role of the subjective and irrational in determining genocidal mass murder.

Irish Marxist Review (Irland) nr. 9, mar 14 – side 69

At the main polling station in Salisbury’s Harare township, a huge queue of black voters awaited their turn impatiently. Walking along this winding line of people we were welcomed by a chorus of cock-crows and cries of ‘Jongwe!’ ‘Jongwe’ is the Shona for ‘cock’; this bird was the symbol of the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF), the party which was to win a landslide victory in these elections; Notes of the Month: Southern Africa

International Socialism Journal nr. 144, okt 14 – side 97
Note: On 16 August 2012 South African police shot and killed 34 striking workers at the Lonmin mine near Rustenburg. The massacre sent shockwaves around the world—and the implications of this political earthquake are far from played out. It is likely to be seen as one of the key elements that began a process leading to a mass worker-based party to the left of the African National Congress—a development of global importance. We are seeing the beginning of a major challenge to the class compromises of 1994 that saw the end of apartheid and the start of ANC rule.; Jørn Andersen: Sydafrika: 20 år efter apartheid

Joe Slovo and Ruth First were South Africans who spent their lives (and in Ruth’s case gave her life) in the struggle against apartheid. They were also members of the South African Communist Party (SACP) for most of their adult lives. They married in the late 1940s and despite a stormy relationship remained together until Ruth First was murdered in Mozambique’s capital Maputo in 1982.

Irish Marxist Review (Irland) nr. 5, mar 13 – side 53
Note: TV coverage of the Marikana massacre had a sickening sense of Déjà vu about it; uniformed men, rifles aimed, the crack of gunfire, black bodies in the dust – Sharpeville, Soweto, iconic images of South Africa under Apartheid. But this was August 16th 2012, not the last century; the killers took their orders not from the old racist Apartheid regime of Botha or de Klerk, but from the state headed by the ‘liberators’ – the African National Congress (ANC).; Amplats security shoot five miners in South Africa

Note: South Africa has abolished white rule, but can Nelson Mandela meet the aspirations raised by the end of apartheid? Alex Callinicos analyses the forces that brought victory and shows how they are colliding with the ANC led government's endorsement of the capitalist system.

Note: Den rå undertrykkelse af Sydafrikas sorte flertal møder massiv fordømmelse fra store dele af verden. Men alt for ofte ses racismen i Sydafrika som et resultat af apartheid. Det er den ikke.

(18 Jan 2011); Richard Seymour: Lenin's Tomb: Note on Tunisia's military

(16 Jan 2011); Kevin Ovenden: Lenin's Tomb: The fall of Ben Ali
Note: Over the last quarter of a century the regime in Tunis has narrowed its social base. It swung behind US hegemony in the region.
