"Der Fokus liegt im Moment absolut darauf, die Region [der Küstenanrainerstaaten wie der #Senegal, die #Elfenbeinküste, #Ghana und #Benin] zu stabilisieren", so Schulze

[E. Scharrenberg (v. Beneckendorff) @EBeneckendorff]

Straightforward and clear in his statements. Modern and thoughtful in his approach. I'm cautiously optimistic that we have found decisive support for our comprehensive approach.

What a wild ride the last weeks have been in the #Dakar and #Casamance regions of #Senegal, right after the successful @_CommonEffort Conference.
Our quest to support stability requires a constant study of the current and often fluid situations.

To highlight the importance of recent developments in West Africa in particular, @FNFreiheit, together with @1GENLCorps, @_DASonline, and @prolightafrica, under the leadership of @COM_1GNC , held a successful international conference in Berlin on June 13.
Together we are strong.

[E. Scharrenberg (v. Beneckendorff) @EBeneckendorff]

From this moment on, we simply had to sit back and enjoy the unfolding.

[ProLightAfrica @prolightafrica]

Thank you @1GENLCorps for the common effort to bring that conference to life! Speaker & panelists such as @Cellou_UFDG, Ndèye Thiam, President @pfpc___, Gudrun Masloch, Head of Unit West Africa @AA_stabilisiert, ambassador Mamadou Haidara, @KarambaDiaby, @COM_1GNC gave insights.

[ProLightAfrica @prolightafrica]

#Destabilization, #propaganda narratives and comprehensive
#countermeasures were the topics of the @_CommonEffort 2023 conference in Berlin. Hosted by the @1GENLCorps, the @FNFreiheit, @prolightafrica and the @_DASonline, the high-level meeting brought together security
experts,

[ProLightAfrica @prolightafrica]

.. policy makers, dev. organizations, and research institutions to discuss the violent spillover effects from the Sahel region into the Gulf of Guinea states of West Africa.
Lt. Gen. Tak, Commander of 1GNC, stressed that "foreign militaries must be humble in the African context

[ProLightAfrica @prolightafrica]

.. and can only support, but never be the
solution" to conflicts.
Prof. Dr. Martin Emmer of the Freie Universität Berlin and research director of @prolightafrica pointed out that "most conflicts begin with communication and
tend to end with communication. Understanding and ..

[ProLightAfrica @prolightafrica]

.. mapping communication
flows is therefore a prerequisite for conflict prevention.” Who is saying what to
whom and why? The role of communication, narratives and perspectives in the current
West African context sparked a lively discussion.

[ProLightAfrica @prolightafrica]

Special emphasis was placed on
a Common Effort Community derived concept of "Narrative Management" for community counter-measures, which is currently being implemented with local partners in Senegal.

The case where a justice minister of a country, where millions of children sleep at night without food, which has over 1 mio unresolved cases, where it takes 10 yrs to try a case and 6-12 months to reach a verdict, spends $500k to buy her 4th official car. https://t.co/sqCTX9pHGo
