ECOWAS Marks 50 Years in Lagos Amid New Alliances and Security Challenges 03/06/2025
Summary :
On the occasion of ECOWAS's 50th anniversary, West African leaders meet in Lagos amid regional turmoil marked by insecurity, the withdrawal of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, declining international aid, and stricter U.S. tariffs. Analysts Jean-Claude Felix-Tchicaya (IPSE), Gilles Yabi (WATHI), and France 24’s Moise Gomis examine the crisis facing the bloc. ECOWAS's influence is waning, and its credibility is challenged due to inconsistent responses to military coups and a perceived disconnect from citizens’ needs. The panel stresses the urgency of redefining ECOWAS’s purpose, focusing on regional security, cooperation, and socioeconomic development. To remain relevant, the organization must propose a coherent, inclusive vision that resonates with member states and their populations.

Summary :
In this article, Dr. Ahmed Mahmane Ahmadou Bachir, a pastoralism expert and lecturer-researcher at the Higher Institute of Environment and Ecology (IS2E) of the University of Diffa in Niger, highlights the lack of dedicated funding for research in Sahelian countries.

Dr. Bachir calls for a significant increase in research budgets to enable local institutions to develop solutions tailored to the realities of the Sahel.
