| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The annual Failed States Index features several leading nations of the Commonwealth, including Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya and, of greatest concern, Pakistan. A death threat against a journalist by Sri Lanka's defence minister reveals that the government appears intent on cowing the press at home and ignoring criticism from abroad, with ominous implications for the country. An unseemly public row between members of Nelson Mandela's family has parallels with a power struggle within South Africa's ruling African National Congress. |
