I'm proud of this one: I examine the incentives of military officers at the onset of civil war to remain loyal, side with the rebels, or resign (thread)

ICYMI, don't miss @SlaterPolitics on military supremacy in dictatorships. Slater, @Lucanway, @adam_e_casey and @jeanlach find the autonomy needed for armed forces to achieve and maintain supremacy depends on their own origins-- whether they emerged independently from the authoritarian parties.
“THE ORIGINS OF MILITARY SUPREMACY IN DICTATORSHIPS”
“The core lesson is simple: Unless an autocratic regime created the military, it will struggle to control the military.”
New @JoDemocracy article with @LucanWay, @adam_e_casey and Jean Lachapelle!

In my first article @AJEnglish I analyzed how the #SAF and #RSF stack up against each other, and explain how their tactical specializations set them up for a stalemate in the #SudanCrisis 🇸🇩 now.

Al-Burhan and Dagalo are at a stalemate in Sudan 🇸🇩. But I mentioned in this thread that this situation gives the #FFC and civilian democratizers *unprecedented* leverage. I’d like to explain this a bit more in a quick thread🧵#SudanCrisis #Sudancoup #KeepYourEyesOnSudan
I've been asked about the origins of the origins of power struggle between Dagalo and Al-Burhan in Sudan🇸🇩 and its implications a few times in the last days. A quick 🧵 with some thoughts on the bigger picture of the #SudanCrisis, legacies of the #Sudancoup, and an outlook

Thread on how and why we got to this point in Sudan
🧵on #Sudan Multiple friends/colleagues alerted me to intense clashes throughout Khartoum. Many are scared and some said their homes are shaking. My thoughts are with everyone there. In one sense, it is unimaginable what is happening. At the same time, this was predictable.

After #MilitaryCoups, the transition process is about much more than quickly holding elections.
