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.

Applying the Transplantation Framework to JNIM’s Expansion in the Sahara-Sahel: A Criminological Lens 05/09/2025
Summary :
This article by Tin Kapetanovic examines the expansion of Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) across the Sahara-Sahel through the criminological concept of “transplantation.” It argues that JNIM’s relocation was shaped by both push and pull factors. Push factors included military pressure in northern Mali after France’s Operation Serval (2013) and competition with rival groups such as the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara. Pull factors encompassed weak state authority, ethnic tensions (notably between Fulani herders and Dogon farmers), economic opportunities from artisanal gold mining and smuggling routes, and Mopti’s strategic location. JNIM embedded itself locally by integrating traditional leaders, intermarrying, providing security and services, and establishing Sharia-based governance. Nonetheless, its expansion faced resistance from community self-defense militias and heightened counterterrorism operations by Malian and international forces. Applying the transplantation framework highlights JNIM’s deliberate organizational adaptation and environmental exploitation, offering insights beyond ideology or networks

Arson Attacks on Schools in the Sahel: Prevention, Mitigation, and Effective Responses 08/08/2025
Summary :
In 2023, Insecurity Insight documented 22 arson attacks on schools in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, with a sharp increase in Niger (1 in 2022 vs 11 in 2023). Most incidents, attributed to JNIM and ISSP, target “Western” education and aim to intimidate teachers and communities, leading to destroyed facilities, prolonged closures, and lasting fear. These attacks undermine access to education, worsen inequalities, and erode social cohesion. The report calls for integrated actions: community awareness campaigns, fire-resistant school infrastructure, emergency plans, coordinated rapid responses, psychological support, and post-attack reconstruction. It also urges humanitarian diplomacy and engagement with armed actors to protect schools and depoliticize education.
