La perspective d’un contrôle du détroit de Bab al-Mandeb par les Houthis accroît les coûts économiques et modifie en profondeur le paysage sécuritaire régional de l’Afrique et la région de la mer Rouge.

@africacenter.bsky.socialThese trends are particularly rampant across social media platforms in northern Nigeria, where threats from militant Islamist groups and organized criminal gangs are focused.
@africacenter.bsky.socialNigeria is facing a host of coordinated and deceptive foreign information campaigns intended to shape public perceptions of insecurity, governance, and Nigeria’s regional partnerships.
@africacenter.bsky.socialOur new spotlight looks at Africa’s regional economic corridors, what makes them work, and the opportunities they offer to strengthen integrated continental networks:

@africacenter.bsky.socialAn independent oversight board within ECOWAS manages plans for the Corridor, coordinates resource mobilization and FDI, and facilitates communication among local, regional, and external stakeholders, underscoring the importance of sound governance to corridor development.
@africacenter.bsky.socialThe Abidjan–Lagos Corridor is the economic spine of coastal West Africa, connecting ports, industrial centers, and consumer markets in five countries. Economic activity encompasses manufacturing, agriculture, energy, logistics, ICT, tourism, mining, and special economic zones.
@africacenter.bsky.socialLe dernier exercice de combat aérien entre la Chine et l’Égypte marque une avancée significative en matière d’échelle, de complexité et de projection de puissance par rapport aux précédents exercices d’entraînement militaire de la Chine en Afrique.
@africacenter.bsky.socialFor economic corridors to realize their economic potential, African countries must ensure that foreign participation in corridor development advances regional priorities and promotes sound management without eroding policy autonomy.
@africacenter.bsky.socialSustainable corridors in the 21st century succeed as integrated economic systems. They connect ports to reliable road, rail, logistics, energy, and industrial networks, stimulating businesses and further demand for corridor development.
@africacenter.bsky.socialAfrica is endowed with some of the world’s largest known reserves of critical minerals. Renewed global interest in securing stable supplies of these minerals has revisited attention on the continent’s infrastructure and logistics corridors.
@africacenter.bsky.socialفإن التصدع الداخلي للبيئة الأمنية في السودان يحمل تداعيات بعيدة المدى على مسار الحرب، بما في ذلك التحديات الأمنية والسياسية والاقتصادية التي ستشكل المشهد فيما بعد الصراع.

@africacenter.bsky.socialThe stakes for governance, security, and development in Nigeria are high. Countries that succumb to coups are subject to years of instability. African countries that avoid coups have made up ground on the UN Human Development Index. Those that are coup-prone have not.
@africacenter.bsky.socialInformation operations targeting Nigeria seek to weaken confidence in elections and democratic institutions, discourage civic participation, intensify social divisions, undermine regional leadership, and make an authoritarian path appear reasonable or inevitable.
@africacenter.bsky.socialإن مناورة “نسور الحضارة” الأخيرة، التي تقدم قدرات صينية متطورة في مناورات عالية الإيقاع في إفريقيا، تؤكد أن الميزات الرئيسية لإستراتيجية التدريب المتطورة للصين في إفريقيا ترتبط ارتباطا أوثق ببناء قدرات الصين القتالية والاستطلاعية، وليس بتعزيز قدرات القوات الإفريقية.
@africacenter.bsky.socialNigerian officials, fact-checkers, investigative journalists, election observers, digital-rights groups, researchers, and local leaders are monitoring information manipulation, exposing covert networks, informing audiences, and innovating new ways to build resilience.
@africacenter.bsky.socialNigeria’s greatest advantage against foreign information operations is the breadth and vibrancy of its media and information networks. Like other democracies, its strength lies not in controlling information, but in drawing on independent voices from media, civil society, academia, tech, and more.
@africacenter.bsky.socialSi ces groupes ont apporté des effectifs supplémentaires pour lutter contre le M23, leur prolifération complique les structures de commandement, crée des centres d’autorité concurrents et sape la réforme à long terme du secteur de la sécurité.
@africacenter.bsky.socialL’incapacité à maintenir la stabilité dans l’est de la RDC découle en partie des faiblesses persistantes du secteur de la sécurité congolais. Ces faiblesses contribuent à expliquer le recours continu du gouvernement aux milices, aux forces étrangères et aux mercenaires.
