SUMMARY:A Human Security Approach for AU PSOs: Lessons from AMISOM
DESCRIPTION:(In-person participation is by invitation only) \nBackground to the Research Programme \nThrough United Nations Security Council Resolution 2628 the UN authorized the African Union Peace and Security Council to\nreconfigure AMISOM and replaced it with the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS)\, with effect from 1 April 2022. AMISOM was a central pillar in political and security stabilization efforts in Somalia for over a decade and a half. As it has ended its mission\, one can outline\, briefly\, some of its key achievements: \n\nAMISOM was vital in protecting the transitional Government and the ensuing Somali Federal Governments;\nAMISOM managed to degrade Al Shabaab and pushed the bulk of its forces from Mogadishu and from all other liberated areas across the sectors;\nAMISOM helped expand humanitarian access and provided various forms of relief to a significant number of Somalis;\nSide by side with the Somali Security forces\, AMISOM still provides the security foundation on which all other international actors depend in order to operate in Somalia in relative safety….Readmore

SUMMARY:Current Ethiopian Crisis Inquiries into Fundaments
DESCRIPTION:Download:  Concept Note | To Register:  Click Here \n(In-person participation is by invitation only) \nThe Institute for Peace and Security Studies and the College of Social Sciences\, Addis Ababa University\, in collaboration with Makerere Institute of Social Research\, Makerere University\, Uganda\, are organizing a two days conference on the theme  “Current Ethiopian Crisis: Inquiries into Fundaments”. The conference focuses on the historical roots of the war that has been going on in northern Ethiopia and the widespread ethnic-based violence throughout the country since 2018. This crisis and a good deal of the conversations about it are in some ways based on and continuations of what have been going on in the country since\, it is conceived\, the adoption of ethnic federalism in the mid-1990s. Three major limitations seem to inform these conversations: (i) spatio-temporal confinement\, (ii) dichotomous theorizing and practice\, and (iii) the spell of finding solutions. \nWorking in narrow spatio-temporal vistas\, a great majority of the reflections on the current situation would tend to caricature it. In terms of time framework\, the fact that the majority of the analyses go back only as far as the 1990s is problematic since the roots of the problem could be traced to many decades before the 1974-Revolution. As a matter of course\, the spatial aspect cannot be separated from the temporal and hence the conceptual strains that would follow from singling out the Ethiopian political geography. The conference is assumed to engage the debate between those who see peculiarity of the Ethiopian situation vis-à-vis those that explain it in terms of the coloniality/modernity scheme.

SUMMARY:Post-Tana Regional Multi-Stakeholders Forum: Enhancing Regional Responses to Political Transitions
DESCRIPTION:Download: Concept Note \nThe 10th edition of the Tana High-Level Forum on Security in Africa was held from 14-16th October 2022\, in Bahir Dar\, Ethiopia\, under the theme\, “Managing Security Threats: Building Resilience for the Africa We Want”. In line with the tradition of the Tana Forum\, the Secretariat is mandated to organize multi-stakeholders forum on selected themes with the aim of forging and deepening conversation on topical issues and outcomes. It is against this backdrop that the next Post-Tana Forum will be organized from 28-29 March\, in Abuja\, Nigeria in partnership with Humanity United and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). This Post-Tana Forum is on the theme “Enhancing Regional Responses to Political Transitions”. This post-forum which will also be organized almost at the same time as the Second Summit for Democracy (29-30 March) presents a great opportunity to influence the conversations of the Summit. The United States will co-host this Summit with the governments of Costa Rica\, the Netherlands\, Republic of Korea\, and Republic of Zambia. The Second Summit for Democracy will bring together world leaders in a virtual\, plenary format\, followed by gatherings in each of the co-hosted countries with representatives from government\, civil society\, and the private sector. This concept note is developed to serve as a guide to participants converging in Abuja\, Nigeria’s Federal Capital and the ECOWAS capital to deliberate upon and propose innovative ways to advance and strengthen regional responses to political transitions\, especially military coups and other forms of Unconstitutional Change of Government (UCG).

SUMMARY:IWD 2023 - Forging women’s equality through Embracing Equity
DESCRIPTION:Download:  Concept Note \nInternational Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated annually to highlight the achievements of women\, raise awareness about existing gender inequalities\, and challenge and act towards gender equality. This year’s theme of IWD is #EmbraceEquity. This theme highlights the fact that we do not all start from the same place\, and as such\, we must acknowledge and make adjustments to these imbalances through fairness and justice when it comes to achieving gender equality. The Institute for Peace and Security Studies (IPSS)\, Cordaid\, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands\, and its partners are committed to supporting the journey towards a gender-equal world. Through our work and engagements\, we support and implement gender transformative and equitable approaches that create opportunities for individuals and communities to challenge harmful gender norms\, promote positions of social and political influence and (economic) empowerment for women in communities\, and address power inequities that exist between persons of different genders. We also seek to raise awareness of our achievements and lessons learned in this regard\, including the achievements of women and the challenges they still face. We seek to make an impact through collective action and shared ownership to continuously drive gender parity.

SUMMARY:Africa's Place in a Multipolar World: Moving from Strategy to Action
DESCRIPTION:Download: Concept Note \nGlobal competition for spheres of influence\, technological supremacy\, and raw materials is heating up. States increasingly use their economic power to shape the global order according to their national interests without due diligence to how these actions impact others. Increasing tensions between USA and China\, the Russian war in Ukraine\, and regional instability in the Sahel are but a few examples. With their abundant natural resources and markets\, emerging space for innovation and creativity\, African countries are rapidly gaining strategic importance. Due to their limited hard-power profiles\, they so far could hardly challenge the ambitions of global powers. Simultaneously\, institutions and norms of the liberal world order continue to reflect the views of those who wield the most power. The renewed global competition offers a unique opportunity to redefine African states’ global partnerships. It evokes and reinforces the need to seek avenues that engender democratic norms and values even in a context of diverse interests.

SUMMARY:The Shifting Geopolitical Alignments in the Greater Horn: Prospects and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Download :  Abstracts  |   Agenda \nThe Horn of Africa is a strategic region connecting with the Gulf through the narrow strip of the Red Sea. States and peoples of the region experience diverse forms of vulnerabilities and opportunities in terms of security\, conflict\, and development\, both with considerations of internal dynamics and interplay with immediate and faraway neighbours. Over the past decade\, the Horn of Africa has been undergoing rapid and dramatic political trends owing to domestic factors with implications for the whole region and on extra-regional economic and security influences. This dramatic political dynamic is part of the global return of geopolitics\, otherwise known as the new geopolitics.  Competition between superpowers; projections of power from middle powers; interventions; un/making of adversaries\, allies\, and enemies\, among others\, define the new geopolitics. The return of geopolitics and its implications are immensely visible in the Horn\, unprecedentedly shaping local\, national and sub-regional political dynamics… Read More

SUMMARY:Prospects of China-Africa Cooperation: Youth Leaders Forum
DESCRIPTION:Download: Concept Note  | Agenda  \nTo Register  –  Click Here \nChina and Ethiopia\, the two countries among the oldest civilizations of the world\, started their diplomatic relations in the 1970s. This relation was modest in its early years\, but it began to grow starting in the mid-1990s. Not only it grew\, but for some it was regarded as an epitome of the ‘south-south cooperation’\, as it was based on equality\, mutual respect and win-win approach. \nThese countries have developed multi-dimensional relations\, with people-to-people\, business-to-business and government-to-government as the cornerstones of the relationship. The increased relations can be manifested by the vast yearly volume of bilateral trade. For instance China has become the biggest foreign investor and the largest trading partner of Ethiopia. Ethiopia is also one of the main markets in Africa for Chinese products\, equipment\, technology and investment. China has also been supporting the construction of the various national projects financially including Ethiopia’s first Express Toll Way and the first operative Wind Power Plant\, the Addis Ababa Light Track Railway and other modern railway developments as well as the Tirunesh-Beijing Hospital and the Confucius Institute.

SUMMARY:The Africa Continental Free Trade Area: Opportunities and Challenges for Sustainable Development\, Peace and Security in the Horn
DESCRIPTION:To Register  –  Click Here \nThe Life & Peace Institute (LPI) and the Institute for Peace and Security Studies (IPSS) are pleased to invite you to a Forum launching the Horn of Africa Bulletin’s (HAB) edition on The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The articles in this edition explore the AfCFTA and its impact since the agreement’s adoption in 2018\, with a specific focus on the Horn of Africa (HoA). The Forum will take place on the 25th of October 2022\, in Addis Ababa\, Ethiopia\, at the IPSS conference hall. \nThis two-hour Forum will reflect on the opportunities and challenges brought forth by the AfCFTA for the realization of an integrated\, peaceful and stable HoA. The discussion will examine AfCFTA and its implications for peace and security in the subsequent region; informal cross-border traders and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs); and the role stakeholders\, such as AU\, RECs and civil society actors\, play in supporting the AfCFTA’s implementation. \nThe Forum brings together 25 – 30 representatives from the African Union\, RECS\, United Nations Agencies\, AU ambassadors\, think tanks\, NGO practitioners\, and community-based organisations. The Forum is an opportunity for engagement and collaboration between a select group of stakeholders focused on the AfCFTA in the HoA region.

SUMMARY:Building bridges of understanding between Africa and Europe in the wake of the war in Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:To Register:  \nThe war in Ukraine has elicited diverse reactions in the geopolitical landscape and created tensions across the globe. African and European countries have taken diverging positions in their response to the war. Although most actors have vocalised concern and condemnation of the war on the occasion of the vote at the UN General Assembly (2 March 2022)\, many have varied in their approach regarding engagement with the parties and approach to mitigate the military escalation. This has put a strain on the relationship between Western (EU) and African actors\, with tensions being observed in various arenas where these stakeholders interact\, including in Addis Ababa. \nAlthough there is a mutual recognition of the importance of AU-EU relations and stronger strategic collaboration between them\, the differing views and actions on the war in Ukraine have threatened to jeopardise the improving AU-EU relationship. \nTo bridge the gap between the diverging perspectives that exist between the various European and African stakeholders\, a convening of actors from European and African civil society organisations and think tanks will discuss the historical underpinnings that have shaped AU-EU relationship and how these are linked to existing differences\, and varying approaches and positions on the war in Ukraine. \nDiscussions will seek to produce a common understanding of the challenges at hand and devise a conciliatory and collective approach towards reversing the drawbacks the war in Ukraine has had on the world’s economy\, including in Africa\, as well as ensuring the protection of civilians impacted by the war.

SUMMARY:African and European views of the new global order
DESCRIPTION:Global power has been in a process of re-balancing and with that shift challenges to the post-1989 order have been mounting. The war in Ukraine acts as a caesura\, compelling Europe to confront the uncomfortable reality that the post-1989 order was both a function of Western power and its principles far from universal. \nBy trying to rally Africa to its side in confronting Russia\, Europe unintentionally created a litmus test for the post-1989 order standing in Africa. Many in Africa did not perceive Russia’s action as a challenge to a global order that it felt mutual ownership of. \nAs Europe grapples with its role in the emerging global order\, there is a new opportunity to forge a strategic relationship between Africa and Europe. To do that\, Europe needs to engage with Africa’s views on the post-1989 order and where Africa situates itself going forward. Where Europe signaled openness to Africa’s view before\, the fundamental re-assessment of Europe’s assumption of global order occasioned by the Ukraine war creates a new openness and indeed an opportunity for Africa and Europe to forge a new consensus. \nWhat needs to happen for Africa to buy-in to a new emerging global order? How can that new consensus be built? In which areas of the relationship? How can they be defined? \n\nGuests\n\nBankole Adeoye\, Commissioner\, Political Affairs\, Peace and Security\, AU Commission\nChristian Buck\, Director-General for Political Affairs (Africa\, Latin America\, Near and Middle East)\, German Federal Foreign Office\nHelena König\, Deputy Secretary-General for Economic and Global Issues\, European External Action Service\nTheodore Murphy\, Africa Programme Director\, ECFR\n\n\n\nChaired by\n\nChris Maroleng\, Executive Director\, Good Governance Africa

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.

SUMMARY:Reflections on tragedy and healing: The role of Indigenous wisdom in Ethiopia
DESCRIPTION:Dr Yirga Gelaw Woldeyes – is a Senior Lecturer\, multidisciplinary researcher and writer based at Curtin University’s Centre for Human Rights Education\, Australia. Drawing from the history\, philosophy and experiences of marginalised people and diverse communities\, Yirga contributes critical insights for re imagining the future and addressing epistemic and racial injustices. He researches African experience and Ethiopian traditions and writes creatively on belonging and diasporic lives. He has won university and industry awards for his teaching\, research\, and creative writing. His publications include the sole authored book Native Colonialism: Education and the Economy of Violence Against Traditions in Ethiopia. (New Jersey: The Red Sea Press\, 2017) and the forthcoming book (with Offord\, Fleay\, Hartley and Chan) Activating Cultural and Social Change: The Pedagogues of Human Rights (London: Routledge\, 2022). \nSummary of the Public Lecture \nEthiopia is experiencing complex challenges that have global and local dimensions. Climate change\, civil war\, and economic crisis contribute to significant losses of lives and livelihoods. Western social\, economic\, and political theories are incapable of healing Ethiopian tragedies. Based on critical research\, I reflect on how global and local factors intersect and reproduce the crisis. I also draw from Ethiopian indigenous wisdom that can contribute to addressing the country’s major challenges. \n

SUMMARY:The Global 1960s: A View from Latin America
DESCRIPTION:Eric Zolov\, PhD Stony Brook University – Eric Zolov is Professor of History and Director of Undergraduate Studies at Stony Brook University. He received his BA from Colby College (1987)\, and MA in International Relations/Latin American Studies (1990) and PhD in History (1995) from the University of Chicago. The author of The Last Good Neighbor: Mexico in the Global Sixties (2020) and Refried Elvis: The Rise of the Mexican Counter culture (1999)\, he has published widely on popular culture\, twentieth-century Mexico\, and U.S.-Latin American relations. His more recent book\, co-authored with Terri Gordon-Zolov\, is The Walls of Santiago: Social Revolution and Political Aesthetics in Contemporary Chile (Berghahn). \nSummary of the Public Lecture \nIn recent years\, the field known as the Global 1960s has expanded dramatically both in terms of theoretical conceptualization and realms of knowledge. Using the lens of the Global 1960s\, scholars are working across disciplinary perspectives to interpret local change within a transnational framework\, one constituted by multiple crosscurrents of geopolitical\, ideological\,cultural\, and economic forces. Such forces produced a simultaneity of ‘like’ responses across disparate geographical contexts\, suggesting interlocking causes.Yet at the same time\, the distinctiveness of regional and national trajectories underscores the necessity of sustained intellectual dialogue across area studies and of the continued relevance of comparative history. This presentation provides an overview of the state of the field with a focus on the intellectual contributions from Latin America. Moreover\, it seeks to initiate a wider conversation about the location of Ethiopian youth politics during the “long 1960s” both in comparison to Latin America and within the conceptual framework of the Global 1960s more generally.

In line with this\, the secretariat holds the multi-stakeholders forum on a selected theme that resonates with the main forum to reach more constituencies across the continent and popularize the outcomes of the forum among wider constituencies. Hence\, the Tana Forum Secretariat in partnership with Oxfam will organize a regional multi stakeholders hybrid forum on the theme “The Impact of Peace and Security on Culture and Heritage Protection in Africa” to be held on 21 April 2022. This concept note is developed to guide this forum. \nCulture combines communal conduct and customs as well as language\, knowledge\, beliefs\, traditions\, arts\, customs\, capacities and habits. Heritage is the legacy of physical artifacts that are inherited from past generations\, maintained in the present and bestowed for the benefit of future generations. Heritage includes tangible culture (such as buildings\, monuments\, landscapes\, and natural heritage (including culturally significant landscapes\, and biodiversity). The deliberate act of keeping cultural heritage from the present for the future is known as Conservation (British English). Cultural heritage is often unique and irreplaceable\, which places the responsibility of preservation on the current generation. The critical\, non-renewable\, component of human civilization\, expressed through natural and cultural heritage\, should be preserved and protected by current and future generations.
