Book Description
When Jennifer Bakody steps off the plane in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2004, she walks right into the hardest and most inspiring job an idealistic young journalist from Nova Scotia could ever imagine. Six years of war involving eight countries and several million deaths have just ended in a ceasefire. A week later, Bakody finds herself two thousand kilometres up the Congo River in the heart of the jungle, managing a small UN-backed radio station. Welcome to Radio Okapi Kindu. Welcome, too, to its team of hard-working local reporters determined to cover the country's rapid march towards elections. One day rebel soldiers are walking out of the jungle and handing in their weapons; the next the station is airing comedy sketches and messages asking after missing people. When a public lynching is followed by an outbreak of violence, Bakody begins to realize how little she understands Congolese politics--and how little she has at stake compared to her colleagues, several of whom will die in the next decade. Maintaining the rigour of Radio Okapi's editorial line suddenly seems like a matter of life and death. Can one small station known as the "frequency of peace" stand the strain? Radio Okapi Kindu is a touching memoir of a young journalist's coming of age and a love song to a poor but astonishingly beautiful country recovering from six years of war."

Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive approach of the media, journalism and politics in Sub-Saharan Francophone Africa. The author argues that there are common features that the media and journalism share in the seventeen countries of Francophone Africa and these make the local media systems different from what they are in neighboring English-speaking African countries, and in the rest of the world. The approach of the media in French-speaking Africa has not only to be “de-Westernized”, but also to step out of general overviews considering “African media." This project shows the historical, political, economic and sociological characteristics of the media systems of seventeen French-speaking countries of Africa.

Book Description
Preventive diplomacy, coined by Dag Hammarskjold, was more recently adopted by Boutros Boutros Ghali, and has become popular in the discourse and practice of international relations. It is conceived as a framework in which disputes are prevented from escalating into conflicts and violence; violent conflict is prevented from spreading; and political solutions are sought. In the African context, it is widely held that conflict resolution is crucial to the emancipation of the African peoples from socio-economic enslavement. However examples such as the war in Cote d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone, DRC, the coup in Central African Republic and the incapacity of SADC to respond to crises such as those in Malawi and Zimbabwe, testify to the failure of quiet diplomacy on the continent. This book attempts to provide, from a pan-Africanist perspective, an overview of lessons learned from past interventions with an eye to future policy. Chapters cover the Sierra Leone civil war and the international intervention; the Sudanese conflict within the context of identity conflicts; the DRC, international remedial action and the failings of the peace process; Angola, the phases of the conflicts and elusive peace; and Mozambique and examples of the experiences of successes and failures of preventive diplomacy.
