2/ #Benin announcing its pulling out its troops from #MINUSMA at end of ‘22 & ‘23 respectively, as its facing an increasing insurgency on its own territory. This concerns 250 troops and +130 police units. reuters.com/world/africa/u…

The #G5Sahel summit had a revealing media echo in some major German news outlets that tell you quite a bit about the problems of #Germany's public discourse on the #Sahel and its #stabilization engagement in general. A thread. 1/14

The public radio station @DLF had a short news item. It noted French calls for "fairer burden-sharing" in the military mission and then noted: "Germany is also active there. But the Bundeswehr does not participate in military missions." 3/14

1/ The situation in the Sahel is not good. Terrorist attacks have been deadly in the past months and are moving south, towards the tri-border region of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger. But it’s not hopeless.

What happened in Pau?
Two key issues 1) reconfirming that Sahel countries still wished for French (and international) presence, in the face of growing anti-French sentiment 2) Devising a new strategy.

Nous devons y accorder la plus grande importance pour anticiper et mieux gérer les conflits latents entre éleveurs et agriculteurs dans le Sahel.
