| Summary/Abstract |
The Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) dates back to 1958
when it was passed by the Indian Parliament to quell the Naga rebellion
in a so-called disturbed area. Later it was extended to the states
of Assam, Manipur, Tripura, parts of Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh
and later to Jammu and Kashmir in 1990. This Act is a legacy of a
colonial power. The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Ordinance, 1942,
was used by the British to quell dissent during the Second World War.
But even before that it was used as an instrument of repression which
led to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. It is ironic that a free country
would be waging a war against its own people using all forms of
brutality to secure the nation-building agenda of the State. Why else
would you use the military for an internal rebellion?

| Summary/Abstract |
This aim of this paper is two-fold. The first aim is to expand on a claim that an 'Arc of Insecurity' stretches across sub-Saharan Africa. The second is to explore the difficulties of chronic crises within this arc. The paper will contrast countries that have experienced the following three indicators used to highlight the acute phase of a chronic crisis: conflict-related mortality, displacement and climatic disasters. The second part of the paper discusses 'chronic crisis' situations by utilising a case study of Karamoja, northeast Uganda. Karamoja is characterised by the worst humanitarian and development indicators in Uganda and its problems are indicative of other chronic situations. While countries, or more specifically, situations within countries, can be insecure, every situation remains unique. Responses to chronic situations need to be based on a solid understanding of the political-economic causation of crisis.
