études sur la promotion de la paix et de la justice sociale par une gouvernance foncière équilibrée 14/01/2025
Summary :
In his report titled "Promoting Peace and Social Justice through Balanced Land Governance in Mali," published on May 4, 2024, by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, Dr. Lamine Doumbia examines the challenges related to land governance in Mali. He emphasizes that unbalanced land policies contribute to social tensions and conflicts, thereby hindering peace and social justice. The report proposes an inclusive land governance approach involving all stakeholders, including local communities, traditional authorities, and the state. This approach aims to ensure equitable land distribution, recognize customary rights, and strengthen community participation in decision-making. Dr. Doumbia argues that adopting such measures is essential to promote sustainable peace and social justice in Mali.

From “all security” to diplomatic dialogue: should we consider negotiated stability in the Sahel? 27/02/2025
Summary :
The research report “From “all security” to diplomatic dialogue: should we consider negotiated stability in the Sahel? » by Baba Dakono, published in January 2022 by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), examines the security situation in the Sahel, particularly in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso. It highlights the ineffectiveness of military responses and the growing interest in negotiations with armed groups. The study highlights that fragile states in the region fail to integrate border zones into their national policies, which favors the rise of extremist groups. Despite international interventions (Barkhane, MINUSMA, G5 Sahel), violence persists and calls for political solutions are growing louder.Local dialogues already exist but remain limited due to a centralized approach. The study recommends a holistic dialogue approach, involving all stakeholders, to achieve lasting peace.

Study on alternative solutions for peace in Mali 14/01/2025
Summary :
Drissa Millogo’s study analyzes the deadlocks in Mali’s peace process, which are linked to poor governance, intercommunal tensions, domestic jihadism, and foreign interference (France, Russia, Gulf monarchies). It calls for a complete rethinking of security approaches, grounded in popular sovereignty, horizontal cooperation, and stronger civil society engagement. Niger is portrayed as a fragile state threatened by jihadist infiltration from Nigeria and the tri-border area; President Issoufou advocates for a firm policy with international backing. Burkina Faso is highlighted for its regional diplomacy under President Compaoré but is also viewed with suspicion due to alleged ties with armed groups. The study promotes inclusive local governance and sincere regional cooperation as essential foundations for peace.

May 2025 Berlin Conference: African Perspectives on the Future of Peacekeeping 30/04/2025
Summary :
In this WATHI-published op-ed, El-Ghassim Wane reflects on Africa’s potential contributions to the upcoming 8th UN Peacekeeping Ministerial Conference in Berlin (May 2025). He highlights the continent’s direct experience with peacekeeping and draws out three core insights: (1) peacekeeping is an effective, sovereignty-enhancing, and life-saving tool; (2) the UN and African Union must further strengthen their complementary roles; (3) peacekeeping embodies multilateralism. Wane advocates for a deeper AU-UN partnership, greater African ownership of peace operations, and a rebalancing between prevention, mediation, and military engagement. He also urges increased investment in structural prevention—especially governance and human rights—by combining the AU’s normative frameworks and the UN’s technical capacities. The Berlin conference represents a critical moment for Africa to assert its voice within the global multilateral system.
