SUMMARY:The Hydro-politics of the GERD in the Global and National Political  Crisis: Negotiations\, Mediation and Rhetoric of Conflicts
DESCRIPTION:*By Invitation Only/Closed Session* \nThe Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) has been a center of regional political interaction in what is known as the Eastern Nile Basin. For a decade\, the dam has shaped the hydro-politics of the Nile\, particularly the tripartite political relation between Ethiopia\, Sudan and Egypt. Unprecedented negotiations unfolded inviting major global and regional powers\, including the UNSC\, AU and the US government to intervene in the search for an amicable solution. The dam also became a priority agenda in the national politics of the three states\, mainly Egypt and Ethiopia. \nDespite ongoing negotiations\, lack of basin-wide agreement that defines the water share of the basin countries seriously arrests the process of negotiations. Although the Declaration of Principles signed in December 2015 could be taken as a positive step\, the three countries could not manage to agree on a mechanism to guide the filling and operation of the GERD. The crisis of multilateralism at the global scale\, the historic power competition and politics of mutual intervention and mistrust\, as well as unstable politics in the riparian states has conditioned the negotiations process…ReadMore

SUMMARY:Somalia Elections: Implications to the Greater Horn
DESCRIPTION:*This is a closed session* \nFES and IPSS are re-establishing their monthly Breakfast Meeting Series on topics related to peace and security issues in the Horn of Africa. The first meeting in this series will take place on 7 July 2022. It will focus on the regional implications of the re-election of  Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and the associated geostrategic realignments in the immediate region and beyond. \nSomalia’s internal situation is likely to continue facing challenges that already existed pre-elections\, and altering the course of internal political and security developments may require courageous measures. At the same time\, the geopolitical implications of recent developments already stand out rather clearly: Indications of shifting strategic alignments manifested themselves immediately following the announcement of the election results. Somalia assumed center stage when it comes to raising the attention of local\, regional\, and international actors contending for geopolitical influence in the peace\, security\, and cooperation matrix of the broader region. This may have implications for these actors reconsidering overall orientations and rationale in engaging in the region. Against this background\, current peace and security arrangements\, as well as inter-governmental interactions\, are likely to undergo changes. \nThe first session of the IPSS-FES Breakfast Meeting Series aims at establishing an open atmosphere for a consultative meeting where experts in the respective field will jointly assess the overall implications of developments in Somalia and related dynamics in the context of peace\, security\, and stability of the Greater Horn Region. The event will be limited to a small number of participants\, by invitation only\, closed\, and strictly confidential. This should allow policymakers\, researchers\, the diplomatic community\, and representatives of various stakeholders to jointly examine the issue with the objective of constructively informing the nature and course of their engagements in the region.
