| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines challenges faced by the national health systems of African countries emerging from conflict in the provision of antiretroviral (ARV) medication and HIV/AIDS-related healthcare. It analyses resource profiles, the unmet need for antiretroviral medication, and progress in the provision of HIV/AIDS-related healthcare in Burundi, Liberia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Uganda, using data from the Global AIDS Response Progress Reports (GARPR) of 2011. Findings indicate that challenges to the health systems in post-conflict countries are immense and should not be underestimated, particularly in the context of HIV/AIDS. Policy recommendations for bolstering the performance of national health systems of post-conflict countries in the context of HIV/AIDS are proposed.

| Summary/Abstract |
The unique experiences of women and girls in conflict situations have been highlighted in key research over the past two decades,1 warranting the need for a gendered approach in post-conflict reconstruction processes. This article focuses on the emergence of HIV in such settings and highlights the contributions of women's groups to HIV interventions and policy formulation, using case studies from Sierra Leone and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The article argues for the need for a much deeper gender analysis in HIV intervention strategies, and concludes with recommendations to ensure access to justice and health services for women.

| Summary/Abstract |
The West Side Boys were one of several military actors in the Sierra Leonean civil war (1991-2002). A splinter group of the army, the WSB emerged as a key player in 1999-2000. In most Western media accounts, the WSB appeared as nothing more than renegade, anarchistic bandits, devoid of any trace of long-term goals. By contrast, this article aims to explain how the WSB used well-devised military techniques in the field; how their history and military training within the Sierra Leone army shaped their notion of themselves and their view of what they were trying to accomplish; and, finally, how military commanders and politicians employed the WSB as a tactical instrument in a larger map of military and political strategies. It is in the politics of a military economy that this article is grounded
