In this chapter of the Strategic Survey 2004/5, the authors analyze issues & events impacting strategic geopolitical developments in four African countries as related to the development of internal & international security institutions. The relationship of the US to Sudan's crisis indicates a strong commitment in the alignment with European & UN allies, but is argued to still require a multilateral commitment from the region itself. Tensions between factions & party conflict are seen to create political instability in the Congo, in spite of international intervention to establish electoral procedure. The pervasive conflict in West Africa is claimed to have overcome peacekeeping efforts, & the possible the insinuation of outside powers into internal security policy is suggested. The discord in the Zimbabwe government is predicted to possibly need the creation of a shared transitional government as a venue to surpass the current land dispute. J. Harwell
