| Summary/Abstract |
Britain's worst riots since the 1980s erupted in London and other cities; 10,000 extra police went on to the streets but it was three days before order was restored. India's preparations for the 2010 Commonwealth games were plagued by corruption and 15 times over-budget, auditors found. The Islamist militant group Boko Haram targeted the UN in Nigeria with a suicide bomb. The anti-corruption campaigner Anna Hazare won increasing support in his stand-off with the Indian government. A state of emergency was declared in Trinidad after a spate of drug-related murders. The Gambia's suppression of the media intensified with seven people facing the death penalty for distributing T-shirts criticising President Jammeh.

| Summary/Abstract |
Kenya sent troops into Somalia in what has been seen as an attempt to carve out a sphere of influence in the war-torn country. The Islamist militant group Boko Haram killed more than 100 people in Nigeria. Attempts to reform the Commonwealth largely failed after the Chogm summit in Perth rejected proposals of the Eminent Persons Group. Despite calls at Chogm to decriminalise homosexuality in Commonwealth countries, two Malaysian states are set to increase penalties. As Australia was named as host of the 2018 Commonwealth Games, it emerged that 30 foreign contractors are still owed $80m for the recent Delhi games, which were marred by corruption. Hopes of campaigners that Uganda was finally acting on corruption were dashed. Michael Sata, a former cleaner at a London train station, became president of Zambia. The African National Congress suspended Julius Malema, firebrand leader of its Youth League and seen as a future president of South Africa, for five years.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article argues that an Islamist militant group with a relatively homogenous ethnic make-up is more likely to be supported by those of the same ethnicity even if the group makes no reference to and even downplays the importance of ethnicity. Using survey data from an original survey carried out in Pakistan in 2013, with 7,656 respondents, this hypothesis is tested in a multiple regression analysis of support for the Pakistani Taliban. The results demonstrate that co-ethnicity between the respondent and the Islamist militant group is the most important predictor of support for the militant group.
