Between hybrid fragilities and competing international agendas in the Sahel: What prospects for the region?

This report outlines the substance of discussions on the multidimensional crisis that has been unfolding in the Sahel region for just over a decade, held in the framework of a conference organised by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Peace and Security Centre of Competence Sub-Saharan Africa (FES PSCC), in Dakar, Senegal, from 14 to 15 May 2024.

Rapport Sahel Sahara Dialogue 2024

Bringing together some thirty stakeholders in security, research, international organisations, and civil society in the region, the conference provided a forum for dialogue and debate on the causes of the advanced and ongoing deterioration of the regional situation, based on an in-depth examination of a combination of factors identified as sources of this deterioration. These factors include the growing social, economic, and climatic vulnerabilities giving rise to resource scarcity, the rising power of jihadist movements, the structural fragility of the national governments, and a surge in organised crime.
