Conflict At the Edge of the African State - The Adf Rebel Group in the Congo-Uganda Borderland

This book looks at one of the oldest and most secretive rebel groups in the eastern Congo warscape: the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF). Moving away from traditional state-centric concepts of cross-border conflict, the author examines how their deeply embedded position in local borderland histories has fueled their surprising resiliency.
