Défis transnationaux et sécuritaires aux frontières Guinée – Mali – Sénégal : entre vulnérabilités et résilience 19/11/2024
Summary :
The study explores transnational and security challenges in Kédougou, a border region between Guinea, Mali and Senegal, marked by socio-economic vulnerabilities, tensions related to gold mining and cross-border trafficking. Despite mineral wealth and cultural diversity, local populations suffer from marginalization, exacerbated by a lack of infrastructure and training.

It recommends integrated strategies including economic development, infrastructure strengthening and community dialogue to ensure peaceful and sustainable coexistence.

Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin for Burkina Faso (No. 23, December 2024 - January 2025) 11/03/2025
Summary :
The Pastoral Surveillance Bulletin for Burkina Faso (December 2024 - January 2025) analyzes the agropastoral situation in seven regions of the country. It highlights generally sufficient but declining fodder availability, stable livestock prices, and falling grain prices due to export restrictions. However, terms of trade remain unfavorable for pastoralists. The report notes livestock movements to Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana, driven by insecurity and the search for resources. Animal health is generally stable, although suspected disease outbreaks have been noted. The surveillance is based on data collected via 51 sentinel sites and satellite observations. Finally, bushfires, cattle thefts, and conflicts are still associated with mobility and access to resources.

State Borders, Mobile Borders, and Border Rents in the Saharo-Sahelian Space 17/01/2025
Summary :
This article analyzes the historical, political, and economic evolution of borders in the Saharo-Sahelian region, shaped by colonization, Tuareg rebellions, border disputes, and illegal flows. Borders, often arbitrary and poorly controlled, have become sites of rents for local and international actors. In pre-colonial times, this region was a transit area without barriers. Colonization imposed rigid borders, disrupting local dynamics. Today, trafficking (drugs, weapons, migrants) thrives, making borders porous and uncontrollable. Jihadist movements also redefine borders through their advances and retreats. The author emphasizes that Saharo-Sahelian borders remain economic, political, and geostrategic tools while symbolizing regional instability.
