This issue provides an overview of conflict trends in a number of African countries up to October 2014. In particular, the authors examine 1) rebel violence in central Africa’s DR-Congo; 2) on-going and escalating volatility in Libya; 3) prospects of peace in Mali as talks continue in Algeria; and 4) provide a review of electoral violence in Mozambique. They also highlight the dynamics, uses and patterns of remote violence such as that involving improvised explosive devices and landmines on the continent.
