The Sahel Stability and Early-Warning Report brings together security, governance and humanitarian indicators to assess the region's instability dynamics and early-warning signals.
Observations
- The expansion of armed groups' areas of activity and the erosion of state authority
- The growing influence of external actors and realignment in security cooperation
- The mutually reinforcing cycle of migration, food security and humanitarian crises
The report points to the need for holistic approaches that go beyond a security-only lens to include governance, development and local legitimacy for regional stability.
