10 Conflicts to Watch in 2019
Robert Malley argues in this assessment of 10 key conflicts for the
International Crisis Group that as the era of US primacy fades, more leaders are testing limits in domestic affairs and meddling in foreign conflicts. As a result, the international order is unravelling, with no clear sense of what will come in its wake. The danger may be more acute in the process of getting to an end-state. Myanmar’s mass expulsion of 700,000 Rohingya; the Syrian regime’s suppression of a popular uprising; the Cameroonian government’s determination to crush an Anglophone insurgency rather than tackle the grievances fueling it; the Venezuelan government’s economic warfare against its own people; and the silencing of dissent in Turkey, Egypt, and elsewhere, are examples.
