Regional Cooperation and Maritime Governance in the Gulf of Guinea: A Critical Analysis 16/10/2025
Summary :
The article “Regional Cooperation and Maritime Governance in the Gulf of Guinea: A Critical Analysis” by René Ngek Monteh (University of Yaounde I) explores the dynamics of maritime governance and regional cooperation across the Gulf of Guinea, from Senegal to Angola. Despite multiple international efforts (UN, EU, ECOWAS, ECCAS, MOWCA), the region remains plagued by piracy, illegal fishing, drug trafficking, and corruption. Monteh highlights weak institutions, poor coordination, and mistrust among states as major obstacles to effective maritime governance. He advocates for integrated regional frameworks, institutional capacity building, and political reforms to ensure sustainable resource use and enhanced maritime security. The paper argues that peace at sea depends on stability on land, urging stronger collaboration between states, regional organizations, and international partners to achieve sustainable peace and a resilient blue economy.

The United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission In Mali (MINUSMA) In Peacekeeping 28/11/2025
Summary :
This study assesses the impact of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) and identifies the challenges it faces. Using a descriptive methodology based on secondary data (books, journals, UN documents, online materials), the authors rely on content analysis and institutional theory. Findings show that MINUSMA has contributed to peacebuilding by enabling the return of many internally displaced persons, improving relative stability in northern Mali and reducing civilian casualties. The mission also supported the peace process culminating in the 2015 Peace and Reconciliation Agreement and assisted in organizing the 2013 and 2016 elections. However, MINUSMA is one of Africa’s most expensive peacekeeping missions (approximately USD 600 million annually) and among the deadliest due to high casualty numbers. Major challenges include authority conflicts, task allocation issues, insufficient personnel, logistical constraints and weaknesses in the implementation of peace agreements. The study recommends a full and credible implementation of the current peace agreement.

Between the Nets of Heritage and the Winds of Change: A Review of Senegal’s Economic Diplomacy 26/11/2025
Summary :
The article examines the evolution of Senegal’s economic diplomacy following the election of Bassirou Diomaye Faye in April 2024. This diplomacy blends continuity with strategic adjustments. Building on the achievements of the Plan Sénégal Émergent (PSE) and long-standing efforts to attract foreign investment, the new administration seeks to strengthen economic sovereignty, transparency, and diversification of international partnerships. With a projected 8% growth rate in 2025 and persistent structural constraints, the government is auditing extractive industries, revising investment frameworks, and streamlining public-private partnerships. Internationally, Senegal is expanding its diplomatic reach, particularly in Asia, the Middle East, and Turkey, to secure technology transfers, financing, and strategic cooperation. However, existing commitments, reliance on international financial institutions, and deep integration within UEMOA limit the scope for drastic shifts. The result is a nuanced form of economic diplomacy—balancing inherited structures with new ambitions for national transformation.

Beyond President Trump's Distraction: The Very Serious Profiling of Heads of State Visiting the United States 18/07/2025
Summary :
In this episode of Les Voix de WATHI, Pape Abdou Ndour examines the highly publicized July 9, 2025, meeting at the White House between Donald Trump and five African presidents (Gabon, Guinea‑Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania, Senegal). Beneath the surface of ceremonial protocol, the author reveals that Washington relies on the CIA to conduct serious profiling of foreign leaders through a comprehensive briefing — covering personality, goals, national context, friction points, and political outlook — to grant the U.S. president a strategic edge . This preparation is detailed in an article by Judd Devermont, Intelligence Advantage: Profiling African Leaders’ Meeting with U.S. Presidents. Such intelligence-driven diplomacy shapes interactions before, during, and after visits. Considering this intense strategic exercise, the author urges African countries to enhance their own information-gathering capabilities to better defend their interests
