This excellent piece of work by @UofGlasgow's #GANARG member Adrian Florea provides insights into the possible implications of the recent Northern Cypriot Presidential elections & is a reminder of the importance of de facto states’ internal politics in shaping dispute resolution.

My thoughts on the recent, contentious presidential election in Northern Cyprus:

I am pleased to say that, since being assigned our issue number, I have multiple free e-prints to give away. If you would like to read more about armed nonstate actor rivalries in the #MENA region, check out the article introducing #ANARD here: https://t.co/kn8nDEsmMW @GANARG2019

[Amrullah Saleh @AmrullahSaleh2]

I will never, ever & under no circumstances bow to d Talib terrorists. I will never betray d soul & legacy of my hero Ahmad Shah Masoud, the commander, the legend & the guide. I won't dis-appoint millions who listened to me. I will never be under one ceiling with Taliban. NEVER.

[Amrullah Saleh @AmrullahSaleh2]

It is futile to argue with @POTUS on Afg now. Let him digest it. We d Afgs must prove tht Afgh isn't Vietnam & the Talibs aren't even remotely like Vietcong. Unlike US/NATO we hvn't lost spirit & see enormous oprtnities ahead. Useless caveats are finished. JOIN THE RESISTANCE.

[Amrullah Saleh @AmrullahSaleh2]

Clarity: As per d constitution of Afg, in absence, escape, resignation or death of the President the FVP becomes the caretaker President. I am currently inside my country & am the legitimate care taker President. Am reaching out to all leaders to secure their support & consensus.

[Sarfaraz @Sarfaraz1201]

I have recieved confirmed news, Taliban last night supplied our millitary equipments and weapons to Pakistan via Torkham Boarder.

TALIBAN MUST ANSWER, WHY?

WE ARE UNDER DIRECT AGGRESSION OF ISI. RESISTANCE2 IS MUST. WE ARE PREPARING.

[Sarfaraz @Sarfaraz1201]

AFTER DETAILED DISCUSSIONS WITH MY TEAMMATES, ALL OF US DECIDED TO JOIN OUR FORMER VICE PR & NOW PRESIDENT OF ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF 🇦🇫 @AmrullahSaleh2 IN PANJISHIR.

WE WILL DO WHATEVER HE SAYS. JOINING THE RESISTANCE.

Wonderful to see so many scholars conducting research related to civil conflict here, including many examining #ArmedNonstateActors 👏👏👍

[Andrea Ruggeri @aruggeri_eu]

Conflict Among Rebels by @CostantinoPisch is out. Using mix-methods Costa evaluates his theory on windows of opportunity and shows us why coethnic groups could be more conflict prone.
Terrific reading https://t.co/mxXsZ6bcTK via @ColumbiaUP

Hey IR twitter: my students are really enjoying zooming into talks all over the country. If your institution/center has an IR-related talk series open to the public, can you send me a link to your schedule so I can pass it on to some VERY eager Dartmouth students?

[Glasgow Armed Nonstate Actor Research Group @GANARG2019]

@Caroline_Brandt Hi Dr Brandt as a group of mainly current PhDs & early-career researchers, I think your talk would be of great interest to many of the group in terms of subject matter & also as exemplar of the recruitment process. Would it be possible for us to watch, from the UK?@Laird_SRPowell

[Omer Zarpli @OZarpli]

I am thrilled to share that my solo article examining the effect of regime type on civil conflict settlement has been published @ISQ_Jrnl

E. #Syria: #ISIS raided a position in #Mayadin desert 2 days ago amidst uptick of attacks in the region. Multiple fighters, presumably from Al-Quds Brigade, were killed (5 visually confirmed).
