Civil society representatives from #ECOWAS & #AES countries who met in #Togo agreed: #mobility & #connectivity, cooperative securing of borders, & promotion of #humansecurity at national levels are key pillars of #commonsecurity in West Africa & the #Sahel.

Les membres de la société civile des pays #CEDEAO et #AES, réunis au #Togo, ont convenu que #mobilité & #connectivité, sécurisation coopérative des frontières & promotion de la #sécuritéhumaine sont des piliers essentiels de la #sécuritécommune en Afrique de l'Ouest et au #Sahel.

Representatives from Nigeria drawn from our partners IPCR Nigeria and National Women Platform on SSRG shared insights from Nigeria and brought our experiences to the conversation. Our colleagues Lennart Oestergaard and Chidie led the team.

We made good use of our Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) Nigeria colleagues who played UN/EU and AU/ECOWAS decision-makers our #civilsociety partners ran into in an imaginary elevator for the "one-minute #policy pitch" exercise. 🛗🙂

When a patchwork of bilateral actors and ad-hoc tools turns #peaceoperations into a messy playing field — and #UN fatigue sets in — how can they still deliver for people on the ground? Our partners Fred Bauma & Samira Gaid weigh in on #DRCongo and #Somalia.

Eastern #DRC has attracted military intervention by many actors - each w/ their own motives for deploying troops. Experts from (ex)TCCs in #SADC & #EAC, Congolese CSOs & MPs exchanged on perspectives on the conflict & its management in #Kinshasa, hosted by Ebuteli & FES Peace & Security | Africa

“Somalia has never transitioned to a UN peacekeeping operation from the AU mission that's currently in place, and I don't think it ever will.” 🗣️Samira Gaid on obstacles to peacekeeping in Somalia. crisisgroup.org/africa/horn-af…
