Au #Mali, l'armée affirme qu'un "important" groupe d'hommes armés s'est rendu aux autorités dimanche 28 avril à Aguelhoc, dans la région de #Kidal. L'État major ne précise pas cependant s'il s'agit de rebelles ou de jihadistes.

The northern regions of the Gulf of Guinea countries have been marginalized for decades, economically and politically. However, it is only recently that political leaders present this lack of national cohesion as a security threat that requires immediate attention from the West

Honored to discuss the potential spread of armed conflicts from the Sahel to coastal countries with Ghana's Minister of National Security and his delegation. Thanks for visiting us in Gainesville!

The food and nutrition situation continues to deteriorate in the #Sahel and #WestAfrica. Around 35.3 million people are food and nutrition insecure. Without effective responses, these figures could increase to 49.5 million people. 🌍🌾 #RPCA
👉What are the links between food security & armed conflict in West Africa? @ojwalther explains how the combination of food and nutrition data from the Cadre harmonisé with conflict data from the Spatial Conflict Dynamics indicator (#SCDi) can help us answer this question. #RPCA
Of course, conflicts have major impact on African economies, but why use macroeconomic indicators at the country level when violence is mostly subnational or transnational on the continent? repository.uneca.org/handle/10855/5…

Did UNHCR ever ask refugees if they wanted branded blankets? It's a horrible way of asserting ownership of them.
Prof. Sani Rijiyar Lemo, Dr. Bashir and Sheikh Haipan are some of our top scholars that hardly make the news for negative reasons. They conduct the business of Islamic scholarship by preaching the truth no matter how bitter. May Allah give them long life in good health and Imān.
The West African team at the on going Fogarty writing retreat at National Institute of Health Bethesda, Maryland. The effort of the @NIH in funding trainings and capacity building in research on Health issues across the African continent is commendable.
@tommymiles Yeah...if I think about what's likely to happen as opposed to what I'd like to see happen, the trajectory looks quite grim for years to come.
From the New Humanitarian, five years ago almost exactly: thenewhumanitarian.org/special-report…
@sahelblog This is such an important larger point. We’re told here that Mali is somehow botching the former French-EU-US Saharan anti-insurgency war. When in fact they are continuing it, not sparing certain insurgents the West saw as potential allies.
@sahelblog They are having success, which folk in the West seem unwilling to admit for their own reasons. That project, though, as when France was leading, involves killing and innocents & may not work in the end much better than the US or French anti-insurgencies around the globe.
@tommymiles Yeah, well said. The "successes" are as pyrrhic for them as for the West, I'd say. And the continuities loom large to me too. It's the War on Terror still, except without the mask and all the platitudes about "governance" and "return of the state."
@sahelblog You make very rare and important points, so I’m grateful you’re publishing on this. Where we diverge a I think is the expectation that the Malian state find a way to make peace with its enemies. It’s the right thing, morally & functionally no question. But…
@sahelblog …we both know no Western state or society which went through Mali’s 2012 would be asked to do this prior to taking military control of its territory. Mali, with the ngoification of its governance, loss of financial & macroeconomic policy sovereignty long ago, is again asked…
@sahelblog …by us in the West to concede the norms given our bog standard state system, and on the promise of what exactly? I cannot blame Malian for rejecting that advice *even if it is good advice*. Understanding they will reject it might also make for more practical recommendations
@tommymiles Great points. I've thought of dialogue as the last resort, but you're right, it's clearly unappealing to the juntas. I'm not sure what recommendations there are beyond that...
@tommymiles I'm no strategist but I guess if I didn't want dialogue I would try to secure the south and then push north, rather than risk getting overextended or just being erratic
@sahelblog No I think you’re right. No question. Dialogue & hard compromise is the only way to peace, as free opposition—within certain limits of course—is the only way to a just, democratic society. I’m just grappling with why that’s not popular now & cannot ever be imposed from outside.

Faculty at #Columbia protecting students from possible arrest
Who knew that you could just leave a peaceful anti-genocide campus protest alone, not lie about it being antisemitic and terroristic, not violently disperse it, and not suspend and expel students who participate in it?
Notable—unlike other schools, Wesleyan Uni says it will not clear an encampment so long as it remains non-violent: "This morning you can find pro-Palestinian protestors camped out…as long as we all reject violence, we have opportunities to listen and to learn from one another."
