Beyond regional radars: Security from below and the rule of law in the Sahel

 

ABSTRACT

Political crises, terrorism, porous international boundaries, coups d’état, and socio-political upheavals all underline the need to rethink what security means in the Sahel region. While international and regional approaches to security still take predominantly military and macro-political perspectives, there is a need to ethnographically describe and analyse security from below. To this end, citizens’ own initiatives should be central to contemporary analyses of African peacemaking interventions. This article takes the growing and diverse movements of self-defence groups in Burkina Faso and Mali as a starting point for analysing how security can be ‘seen from below’, often in interaction with and sometimes even in outright contradiction with the rule of law. While local self-defence groups constitute a challenge to the rule of law, ethnographic fieldwork in Mali and Burkina Faso reveals a high degree of adaptability and flexibility of these movements. This article furthermore discusses methodological challenges when doing ethnographic research in dangerous terrains, drawing on fieldwork in the Sahel, and considers implications of the study of ‘security from below’ for the wider study of international affairs.

Notes on contributor

Professor Sten Hagberg is based at the Department of Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology, Uppsala University, Sweden, where he is also Director of the Forum for Africa Studies. He has conducted long-term anthropological field research in Burkina Faso since 1988 and in Mali since 2008. Thematic fields include dispute settlement, environment, development, poverty, political violence, democracy and mass media. He has also done work on anthropological engagements. Current research considers democracy and municipal politics, as well as the anthropological study of opposition and protest, democracy and security. Moreover, Hagberg served as President of the Euro-African Association for the Anthropology of Social Change and Development (APAD) 2007–2013 and President of the Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography (SSAG) 2013–2017, and currently serves as President-Elect of Mande Studies Association, 2017–.

7 Notions such as ‘ordinary citizens’, ‘from below’, and ‘the grassroots’ are here used to signal the use of methodological populism, where representations and practices of ordinary citizens (the poor, dominated, the oppressed) merit ‘la plus grande attention de la part des sciences sociales’ (Olivier de Sardan J-P, La rigueur du qualitatif: Les contraintes empiriques de l’interprétation socio-anthropologique. Louvain-la-Neuve: Academia Bruylant, 2008, p. 246. For a recent discussion of ordinary citizens, see Carrel M & C Neveu (eds), Citoyennetés ordinaires: pour une approche renouvelée des pratiques citoyennes. Paris: Karthala, 2014; and Hagberg S, L Kibora, S Barry, S Gnessi & A Konkobo, Transformations sociopolitiques burkinabè de 2014 à 2016: Perspectives anthropologiques des pratiques politiques et de la culture démocratique dans ‘un Burkina Faso nouveau’. Uppsala Papers in Africa Studies 1. Uppsala: Uppsala University, 2017). Studies ‘from below’ gained a certain favour in political science over the last decades (Bayart J-F, A Mbembe & C Toulabor, Le politique par le bas en Afrique noire. Paris: Karthala, 2008). Yet anthropologists have for long time been focusing on studies from below, including in studies of development or war (Hagberg S & C Widmark (eds), Ethnographic Practice and Public Aid: Methods and Meanings in Development Cooperation.

21 Since 2008, I have carried out anthropological fieldwork in Kalaban-Coro in short, intensive periods in 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2016, together with Bintou Koné. At some occasions, other colleagues have participated in fieldwork, particularly Gabriella Körling, Félix Koné and N’gna Traoré.

24 In all cases documented, the thieves who have been burnt are male.

25 The practice called l’Article 320 was named after the fall of the dictatorship of Moussa Traoré in 1991. It was during the political transition and the early democratic regime in 1992 that local people resorted to burning thieves in Bamako. At the time, the price of one litre of fuel was 300 FCFA.

28 Dozos are traditional hunters widespread across West Africa, in countries like Mali, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, and Guinea. Dozo brotherhoods have existed in these polities for more than thousand years (Hellweg J, Hunting the Ethical. State: The Benkadi Movement of Côte d'Ivoire.

30 Dozoya translates as the state of hunting, or the hunting affair.

50 The Dozos’ position defending the rule of law is somewhat ironic, because some 10–15 years ago when I did research on the hunters’ movement they clearly took the law into their own hands, particularly in farmer–herder conflicts.
