France's complete withdrawal from West Africa should worry the rest of the world
Last month, France's armed forces finished dismantling their bases in Senegal, the last West African country to have hosted a permanent French military presence. The withdrawal marked the final chapter of a French retreat from the region that began in Mali in 2022 and was followed by closures in Burkina Faso, Chad and Niger. At first, the pressure on Paris seemed to have been driven by the rise of new rulers in the Sahel and their growing frustrations with the French regional counterterrorism operation called Barkhane. However, the momentum eventually extended beyond the Sahel to include countries such as the Ivory Coast, Gabon and Senegal. Paris now maintains only one permanent military outpost in Africa – in Djibouti. From a French standpoint, this highlights the necessity to reduce the country's global military footprint. Given the refocus on European security amid the war in Ukraine, France could no longer afford this costly presence. As one high-ranking defence official told me last month, 'the Ukraine war leaves us no bandwidth for anything else'. France is not the only western power to withdraw from the region. Since last September, the US military has also left Niger. Like Paris, Washington's presence in Africa is now limited to a base in Djibouti. The departure of western forces from the Sahel and surrounding countries builds on a shared regional desire to part ways with former colonial powers and chart their own trajectories. But even as they begin new chapters, new questions emerge for their governments. There is little doubt that western forces failed to defeat terrorist groups based in the region. But without their support, local militaries have struggled to stem the rising tide of extremism, forcing their political masters to turn elsewhere for help. Enter Russia and Turkey, both of which are providing security assistance to these countries, although the nature and extent of their respective partnerships remain unclear. Russia initially increased its footprint in Africa primarily through the deployment of the Wagner Group in countries like the Central African Republic, Chad, Mali and Burkina Faso. However, after a failed mutiny led by the group's founder, Yevgeny Prigozhin, against Moscow in August 2023, its influence has declined. Given the demands of the war in Ukraine, a surge in Russian troops in West Africa is unlikely. The Kremlin has instead sought to replace Wagner with a paramilitary group called the Africa Corps. Meanwhile, Ankara's ties with several West African countries have grown in earnest over the past three years, particularly in arms sales. Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger have procured the well-known Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drone, and Turkey's defence industry has delivered armoured vehicles and light attack aircraft to local militaries. While it isn't clear what role the Turkish private security company Sadat is playing in the region, Ankara has acknowledged having negotiated access to a military base in Chad. Nonetheless, this does not amount to a robust deployment of troops. In other words, even as the aforementioned West African countries are diversifying their respective security arrangements, these new partnerships do not compensate for the co-operation frameworks they once had with western countries like France and the US. In addition to the uncertainties of security assistance, the cutting of US development aid is equally worrisome. The current US administration's decision to close USAID has had direct implications for West Africa, where governments rely heavily on foreign aid. More than a third of government spending in countries like Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger has traditionally come from international assistance. History teaches us that the collapse of governance and the unchecked rise of terrorism in one region eventually spreads to others The severe reduction of US support will undoubtedly affect the ability of these states to provide basic services. Underdevelopment and misgovernance are already fuelling the growth of terrorism in West Africa. For years, terrorist groups have found new recruits in the rural areas abandoned by local governments. For sure, the emphasis placed on military-centric responses by France and the US, through counterinsurgency operations, did not bring about enduring stability. But the inability of key West African governments to address the social and economic grievances of their populations perpetuates this predicament. Today, all indicators point to an increase in terrorist attacks across West Africa. In Burkina Faso, it is believed that groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS control 40 per cent of the territory. In Mali, military bases are constantly under attack from these groups. The rise of Jamaat Nusrat Al Islam Wal Muslimin – a coalition of extremist factions that includes a local branch of Al Qaeda – reflects this trend. Though JNIM emerged in Mali, it now conducts operations across the region, including in Togo, Benin and the Ivory Coast. JNIM claimed more than 240 attacks in the first half of this year alone, double the number for the same period last year. None of this bodes well for West Africa, which can now be considered the centre of terrorist operations worldwide. For now, governments in the West and the Middle East may consider this to be a regional issue, and one that does not affect their security interests. However, history teaches us that the collapse of governance and the unchecked rise of terrorism in one region eventually spreads to others. The rest of the world will do well to pay heed.

West Africa: Visit of Mr. Adedeji Ebo, director and deputy to the high representative for disarmament affairs United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA)
The United Nations Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament in Africa (UNREC) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission jointly issue this communiqué following the official visit of Mr. Adedeji Ebo, Director and Deputy to the High Representative for Disarmament Affairs of the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA), to the ECOWAS Headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria. UNREC is UNODA's Regional Centre for Africa. The visit served as a renewed demonstration of the United Nations' steadfast support to regional mechanisms for peace, security, development and arms control in West Africa. It marked a significant milestone in the broadening and deepening collaboration between UNODA—through UNREC—and ECOWAS on disarmament, arms control and regional peace and security priorities towards a culture of peace. During the visit, Mr. Ebo held strategic consultations with the ECOWAS President H.E Dr Omar Alieu Touray, ECOWAS Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security, H.E. Ambassador Dr Abdel-Fatau Musah, as well as with senior leadership of the ECOWAS Department of Political Affairs Peace and Security. Discussions focused on reviewing the 2009 ECOWAS-UNODA Memorandum of Understanding in order to align it with current peace and security challenges in the sub-region. Topics included advancing the implementation of the ECOWAS Convention on Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) and tackling persistent and emerging threats in the region, including illicit arms flows, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI), drones, and autonomous weapons systems. The visit was also marked by the holding of a joint UNREC – ECOWAS Regional strategic workshop on gender mainstreaming in Small Arms control in West Africa in efforts to raise awareness and enhance the capacity of West African countries to effectively address gender-specific issues in SALW control and incorporate youth participation into programs. UNREC and ECOWAS agreed to explore options for a strategic reconfiguration of the ECOWAS Small Arms Division to broaden its scope beyond SALW. The entities also reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening regional frameworks and initiatives—including the ECOWAS Convention on SALW, the Nairobi Protocol, and the African Union's Silencing the Guns initiative—through enhanced coordination and technical support. UNREC and ECOWAS will also collaborate to provide tailored assistance to national stakeholders, leveraging and contextualizing existing tools for addressing small arms and ammunition, disarmament education platforms, and facilitating access to capacity-building programs. Mr. Ebo commended ECOWAS Commission for its leadership in promoting peace and disarmament across the region and reiterated UNODA's commitment to supporting ECOWAS Member States in building technical capacity, reinforcing legal frameworks, and advancing inclusive, evidence-based policy responses. Considering recent peace and security developments in the region, both Mr Ebo and H.E. Ambassador Dr Abdel-Fatau Musah reiterated commitment to the effective implementation of the ECOWAS Convention on SALW, particularly its provisions related to cross-border arms control cooperation, harmonized legislative standards, and regional monitoring mechanisms. Dr. Musah cited the expanding terrorism in the region, as well as intercommunal violence and banditry as phenomena that highlight the imperative of heightened arms control as a priority. UNODA and ECOWAS reaffirmed the continued relevance of the Convention and agreed to explore pragmatic pathways for inclusive dialogue and cooperation with all West African stakeholders to uphold collective security and reduce the risk of arms proliferation in West Africa. Furthermore, UNODA expressed its readiness to support the ECOWAS Commission, through UNREC, in initiating a review and update of the ECOWAS Convention on SALW to reflect new developments in the security landscape. This includes incorporating provisions on growing threats such as the trafficking of ammunition and the implementation of the Global Framework on Through-Life Ammunition Management (GFA), weaponization of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), cyber-enabled arms flows, and the challenges posed by emerging technologies, science, and innovation in weapon systems. The parties acknowledged the need to ensure the Convention remains responsive, comprehensive and effective in addressing the evolving nature of arms control, non-proliferation and disarmament in West Africa. Both entities agreed to strengthen joint operations and advocacy, while exploring innovative strategies to integrate disarmament into broader peacebuilding and sustainable development agendas in West Africa.
