#1 'No go' areas and the Parallel Government:

In military terms, this establishment of a parallel government, is called establishing a “Competitive system of control”.

Lt. Col. David Kilcullen, the world renowned expert on modern insurgencies and counter insurgencies, talks extensively about this in his book, “Out of the Mountains: The Coming Age of the Urban Guerrilla”.

In fact it is the central theme of his book and what he reckons is the key to the success of an insurgency as well as how to fight the insurgency.

Kilcullen is of the opinion, backed up by extensive research and experience, that in the old days people were more rural and therefore you found insurgents in the mountains, jungles and bush, but times are changing fast and people are urbanizing into Littoral Zones (areas by the sea) so insurgencies will be fought there in the future…Cape Town is a perfect example.

Kilcullen also mentions various other examples of the criminal, mafia like theory of competitive control that one sees in all insurgencies, but also in townships and communities all over the world…from the “Dons” in the Jamaican Garrison districts to the Favelas of Rio de Janeiro, to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
