Central Mali: populations trapped by terrorism and counter-terrorism 14/02/2025
Summary :
The article describes the alarming situation in central Mali, where populations suffer from the violence of jihadist groups, abuses by Malian forces and community militias. Since 2012, jihadists, notably Katiba Macina, have destabilized the region, imposed rigid control and provoked intercommunal violence. Malian military actions have exacerbated the suffering, with summary executions and abuses. The report calls for state recovery and fair justice for victims.

Togo : Senatorial elections in sight, feet in ECOWAS and hand extended to SSA 28/02/2025
Summary :
The article titled "Togo: Senatorial elections in sight, feet in ECOWAS and hand extended to SSA," published by the Timbuktu Institute on February 25, 2025, examines Togo's geopolitical stance ahead of its first senatorial elections scheduled for February 2025. Togo, a member of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), has expressed interest in joining the Sahel Alliance (SSA), an initiative aimed at strengthening security and development cooperation in the Sahel region. This move comes as the country faces jihadist incursions and has recently adopted a controversial constitutional reform, transitioning from a presidential to a parliamentary system. The article highlights that this reform has exacerbated internal political divisions. The upcoming senatorial elections will mark the full implementation of this political transition. The Constitutional Court has already published the final list of candidates for this election, which will take place shortly after the 20th anniversary of the death of former President Gnassingbé Eyadema.

Burkina Faso: A new government to fight against insecurity and terrorism 14/02/2025
Summary :
On December 31, 2024, Burkina Faso saw the formation of a new government under Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouedraogo to combat insecurity and terrorism, after deadly attacks in the north of the country. The government announced the creation of rapid intervention battalions to reconquer areas controlled by terrorists. The country faces a rise in kidnappings and internal political tensions, exacerbated by the dissolution of Traoré's previous government, which maintained the fight against terrorism as a main priority.
