Rekindled Russia-African Relations and Implication on UN Peacekeeping Efforts in the DRC
No full textThe paper is devoted to analysing the impact of rekindled relations between the Russian Federation and its African friends The Russian Federation has in recent years intensified its interactions with several African countries The cooperation is rooted in the Soviet era when the USSR aided most African countries to gain independence The paper notes that today Russia s partnership with African countries is becoming increasingly intensive and multifaceted on the economic political military and even social fronts The relations are grounded in the theory of mutualism coined by Proudhon in the mid-19th century This paper also discussed how rekindled military relations may aid in the pacification of numerous conflicts bedeviling the continent As a case study the paper looked at how Russia can help the United Nations in its peacekeeping efforts in the Democratic Republic of Congo by taking advantage of the economic cooperation and military relations between the two countries In this regard the paper found that economic cooperation based on mutually beneficial and symbiotic relations could help improve the ailing Congolese economy Furthermore the provision of military training and modern weapons by Russia may capacitate the Congolese military to deal with the numerous rebels in that country effectively As a Permanent member of the United Nations Security Council Russia should help stop the looting of Congolese resources The paper used qualitative methods to exploit a large pool of Russian policy documents and scholarly works on Russia Africa relations and also conducted interviews with both Russian and African policy makers The paper recommends that the DRC should abandon old and unbeneficial relations with former colonial masters and embrace Russia whose policy is predicated on mutually beneficial relation

Neologisms and Political Polarization in Brazil on Social Media Platforms X and Facebook
No full textThis research aims to analyze neologisms on the social media platforms X formerly Twitter and Facebook in Brazil focusing on the formation and use of loanwords in politically themed posts The theoretical framework is based on works by Alves 2004 2007 Biderman 1978 2001 Carvalho 2000 2006 Guilbert 1975 Sablayrolles 2019 among others The findings indicate that loanword neologisms often creatively adapted into Portuguese through morphological and semantic processes reflect speakers strategies to express criticism humor and political positioning within a highly polarized digital environment Most of these items display some degree of adaptation suggesting an active process of lexical appropriation for argumentative mocking or ironic purposes Their frequency during specific periods such as elections and health crises highlights the connection between neologisms and socio-political events in Brazil Ultimately this study underscores the dynamic role of social media in shaping contemporary lexical innovation and political expressio
Democratic Consolidation and Electoral Integrity in Sierra Leone: A Two-Decade Analysis of Electoral Observation Reports (2002–2023)
No full textThis study critically interrogates the role of electoral observation missions in Sierra Leone’s democratic consolidation process from 2002 to 2023. Drawing on a longitudinal analysis of reports from ECOWAS, the European Union, The Carter Center, and National Election Watch (NEW), the research employs a qualitative document analysis framework to uncover thematic patterns, institutional responses, and reform outcomes. The findings reveal consistent observer emphasis on transparency deficits, participation gaps, legal ambiguities, and electoral security concerns. However, despite methodological advancements in observation, a persistent implementation gap hampers systemic reform. The study concludes that while electoral observers have contributed to procedural improvements and civic engagement, their impact remains constrained by political inertia and institutional fragility. Recommendations include formalizing mechanisms for uptake of observer recommendations, enacting campaign finance reforms, safeguarding ECSL independence, and empowering domestic observers. This research underscores the urgent need to bridge the gap between diagnostic clarity and structural transformation in Sierra Leone’s democratization journey
