They explore this intuition with an in-depth study of coup cases in Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia between 1949-1968. The cases vary based on their coup propensity according to existing datasets - during the heyday of coup activity in the Middle East. 4/

Across all three cases, plots and rumors were the most likely candidates to be omitted based on source material. Ultimately, this suggests that for studies interested in coup conspiracies, engagement with a wider range of sources is critical for accuracy. 5/5

ICYMI, don't miss @SlaterPolitics on military supremacy in dictatorships. Slater, @Lucanway, @adam_e_casey and @jeanlach find the autonomy needed for armed forces to achieve and maintain supremacy depends on their own origins-- whether they emerged independently from the authoritarian parties.

A 🧵 with some thoughts on #Sudan & how we got here: Many rightly blame Bashir for creating Himedti & his militia as well as Burhan as Islamist SAF officer. No excuses for Bashir - but who created him? I first came to #Khartoum in 1997 & NOBODY took him seriously then. 1/10

Al-Burhan and Dagalo are at a stalemate in Sudan 🇸🇩. But I mentioned in this thread that this situation gives the #FFC and civilian democratizers *unprecedented* leverage. I’d like to explain this a bit more in a quick thread🧵#SudanCrisis #Sudancoup #KeepYourEyesOnSudan
