“…Since 2003, the AU has commanded, authorised or endorsed over a dozen peace operations (see Williams 2013; Badimus 2015; Williams & Boutellis 2014; Williams & Dersso 2015; Berhe & de Waal 2016; De Coning et al . 2016).…”

In December 2015, the African Union (AU) took the unprecedented step of threatening to use military force against the government of Burundi's wishes in order to protect civilians caught up in the country's intensifying domestic crisis. This article traces the background to this decision and analyses the effectiveness and credibility of the AU's use of coercive diplomacy as a tool of conflict management. After its usual range of conflict management tools failed to stem the Burundian crisis, the AU Commission and Peace and Security Council tried a new type of military compellence by invoking Article 4(h) of the Union's Constitutive Act. We argue that the threatened intervention never materialised because of (1) the Burundian government's astute diplomacy and (2) several African autocrats’ resistance to setting a precedent for future interventions where concerns about civilian protection might override state sovereignty.

“…On the other hand, in the recirculation scheme, the flow into the combustor is equal to the flow in the inlet duct and the returned air, if properly bled, is used to relieve the load on the compressor. This difference becomes apparent when the performance of the two schemes are examined using the inlet flow as the independent variable (see Figs 6,9 and A cornmessor + Figure 5 . Schematic of Flow Paths with (a) Ambient Bleed and @) Recirculation.…”

This paper presents results to date from on-going analytical and experimental investigations of passive and active control methods for suppression of stall in axial flow compressors. The passive control method involved inclusion of flow separators in the inlet and outlet ducts of the compressor. The active control methods investigated included bleed valve modulations, flow recirculation from plenum bleed to inlet of the compressor and fuel flow modulations. It was found that in contrast to theoretical expectations, the use of separators in the inlet andlor outlet ducts did not prevent the onset of rotating stall. However, it was found that with proper number of separators, the onset manner of the rotating stall was tempered. Experimental results to date indicate that it is possible to significantly suppress the onset of rotating stall through a combination of passive and active control schemes, and thus, extend the useful operational range of a compressor.
