Significance The military high command continues to back Maduro, contradicting Guaido’s claim that senior officials agreed to support his interim presidency. The failed uprising reveals major intelligence, strategic and communications failures within Guaido’s circle and the US government's ‘Venezuela transition’ team. Impacts Purges in the armed forces and security sector can be expected. Both the Lima Group and International Contact Group will convene emergency meetings to consider options for a peaceful solution. The leadership of both Guaido and Maduro will come under pressure from within their own blocks.

This article examines the debate concerning the recent reinstatement of Shari`ah law with respect to criminal matters in Northern Nigeria. The discussion explores the inherent challenges in reconciling the equally entrenched and passionate views of pro-Shari`ah supporters on their right to freedom of religion with those that question its application in terms of human rights norms and obligations, and its constitutional legality. The analysis concludes that Shari`ah laws can coexist with Nigeria’s common law system and remain relevant in the context of Islam, provided that its principles are adapted and modernized to comport with international standards for due process and are interpreted and applied consistently.
