The Limits of China’s Transactional Diplomacy in Africa 10/07/2025
Summary :
Published on July 7, 2025 by the Africa Center for Strategic Studies, Paul Nantulya’s article explores the declining appeal of China’s transactional diplomacy in Africa, based on economic deals devoid of political conditions. This model now faces mounting criticism in several African countries. In Ghana, civil society organizations denounce environmental harm and opaque mining projects. In Sierra Leone, Chinese mining contracts are increasingly questioned. In Nigeria, despite strong bilateral ties, concerns grow about trade imbalances. In Senegal, tensions emerge around Chinese port infrastructure. These cases reveal a growing disillusionment in West Africa, where citizens demand more transparency, fairer deals, and local benefits. The author urges a restructuring of China-Africa partnerships to focus on good governance and African-led development priorities.

Crises and Knowledge Production: A State of Universities in the Sahel 11/06/2025
Summary :
The article “Crises and Knowledge Production: A State of Universities in the Sahel”, published by WATHI on June 26, 2024, highlights how political instability, terrorism, and chronic underfunding have severely weakened universities in the Sahel. These institutions suffer from repeated strikes, staff emigration, reduced budgets, and a lack of connection between academic research and policymaking. Yet, universities hold critical potential to understand and address crises through interdisciplinary research. However, a major gap persists between academic outputs and their integration into decision-making processes. The article calls for a shift: universities should be recognized as strategic centers for crisis analysis. It recommends enhanced investment in local research, stronger collaboration between scholars and policymakers, and efforts to ensure that knowledge production informs public policy and societal needs.

Resetting the Political Calculus of the Sudan Conflict 04/06/2025
Summary :
In this article published in March 2025 by the Africa Center for Strategic Studies, Joseph Siegle analyzes the regional and political drivers of Sudan’s ongoing conflict. He discusses the U.S. designation of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) as perpetrators of genocide in Darfur, where civilians—mainly from the Masalit ethnic group—have suffered large-scale atrocities. The conflict, a power struggle between RSF and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), has attracted competing regional sponsors: the United Arab Emirates back RSF, while Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and others support SAF. Siegle warns of the danger of a prolonged proxy war and emphasizes the need for Sudanese civilians to be central in any negotiated settlement. He calls for all regional actors to reassess their strategic interests to prevent further fragmentation and ensure a viable political resolution.

Cybercrime in Côte d’Ivoire in 2024: Key Findings of the ANSSI Report 18/07/2025
Summary :
The ANSSI Côte d’Ivoire’s 2024 report, by Colonel Major Guelpétchin Ouattara, highlights a sharp rise in cybercrime complaints—from 6,579 in 2022 to 12,100 in 2024 (+84%) . The most frequent incidents include violations of human dignity, online scams, identity theft, defamation, and account hijacking. Despite increased case numbers, financial losses dropped from 9.2 to 6.9 billion FCFA, due to stronger cooperation among ANSSI, banks, and cyber-defense teams. Established in October 2024, ANSSI now oversees national cybersecurity by merging CI‑CERT, the national SOC, the CLI misinformation center, and CFAD, achieving a 68% complaint resolution rate. In anticipation of the 2025 elections, ANSSI plans to enhance real-time monitoring, public awareness campaigns, civil servant training, and international cooperation to mitigate electoral cyber threats.
