In Guinea-Conakry, the military arrested President Alpha Conde and suspended the constitution in September 2021. The coup came amid public discontent with Conde, who had pushed a controversial constitutional change to secure a third term and failed to address a number of domestic crises. In the aftermath, the coup’s leader, Colonel Mamady Doumbouya, has purged top military brass and been sworn in as president — promising to restore full civilian rule after a transition period of unspecified length despite pressure to commit to elections in the near term.
This conversation looks at how the Economic Community of West African States, the African Union and the international community can better support the Guinean people’s efforts to reestablish constitutional order.
Speakers:
Oge Onubogu, moderator Director, West Africa Program, U.S. Institute of Peace
Alexis Arieff, Specialist in African Affairs, Congressional Research Services
Ibrahima Niang, Regional Advocacy Manager, Open Society Institute West Africa

Life is a constant battle to create order in a world of disorder, humans are continually at war with every might force we call Mother Nature. The manor we are going to explore today has lost this battle after its caretakers lost their interest and rose to heaven. Once inhabited by a wealthy French family, consisting of a loving couple with 3 children, the place has been in the family for over 2 centuries and has been transferred from father to son. The family had their roots deeply strangled in the politics of the local Municipality. Their influence was felt throughout the region and many stories circulated around the town that the family was involved in corruption and bribery. Stories are just stories until they are proven, today I will take you inside of their abandoned Mansion and we will try to uncover the events that led up to its abandonment.
Are you ready for an intriguing adventure?

June 24 - Dispatches from the Field
Moderated by Lukas Rüttinger (adelphi)
Dispatches from the Field: Climate Security Expert Network members share climate-security risk insights from affected regions and discuss context-relevant responses. Panel Discussion with Ottilia Anna Maunganidze (Institute for Security Studies), Chitra Nagarajan, (Independent Conflict Researcher), Adriana Abdenur (Igarapé Institute), and Oli Brown (Chatham House & the Geneva Centre for Security Policy)
The first part of the 2020 Berlin Climate and Security Conference took place online on June 23 and 24, 2020, bringing together leading figures from governments, international organisations, the scientific community, the private sector and civil society through two sessions on the state of the art of climate and security and a high-level political segment. From September 7 to October 2, the second part of the BCSC 2020 will reflect on how more comprehensive risk assessments could support forward-looking and preventative foreign and security policy.
https://berlin-climate-security-conference.de/
There is increasing evidence that climate change is undermining livelihoods, food and water security in rural and urban areas around the world, thereby acting as a “risk multiplier” in fragile and conflict-prone situations. The conference will explore how more comprehensive climate-security risk assessments could help in creating a forward-looking and preventative foreign and security policy, and offer a space to discuss the role that the international community, and the UN Security Council in particular, can and should take in this respect, including during Germany’s membership of the UN Security Council in 2020.
After launching the Berlin Call for Action in 2019 and working to increase the momentum for decisive action to address climate-related drivers of conflict and instability, this is the second iteration of this event.
The Berlin Climate and Security Conferences are hosted by the German Federal Foreign Office, in partnership with adelphi and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK).

The outbreak of the deadly coronavirus has caused widespread challenges throughout the world, claimed over 1.1 million lives, and continues to send shocks to societies and economies worldwide. Developing nations are being hit particularly hard during the pandemic due to a lack of adequate healthcare, sanitation, water, and economic contingency resources. Many developing countries were facing strenuous economic and political circumstances before Covid-19 that are being further exacerbated by the pandemic. In such crisis times, there is a need for traditional donor countries to rise to the occasion and rethink the purpose of their foreign aid programs. They need to strategically expand developmental assistance to not only contain political and economic degradation but also provide countries the tools to rebuild economies that are resilient to future crises.
As the health and economic crises continue to evolve and new information on treatment emerges, both donor and aid recipient countries need to rapidly adapt to such changes to sustain an effective response. One way aid can be utilized to ensure proper recovery from the pandemic caused recession is to ramp up services such as contact tracing, testing, and (once there is a vaccine) vaccine delivery. Currently, multiple governments and privately-owned and pharmaceutical companies are racing to get the first Covid-19 vaccine out as fast as scientifically possible. With a “rush order” in place, it is expected that the winning vaccine candidate will not be widely available to the public until 12-18 months after its delivery. Moreover, it has been estimated that once a vaccine does become available, it would take 8,000 Boeing 747 freighters to reach almost all population centers across the world. Given the challenges involved and in the absence of a vaccine, the wait time should be spent by the development community most importantly on what needs to be done now (masks, diagnostic and contact tracing) to minimize the impact of the pandemic and on making sure we have the logistics plans to deliver the vaccine if and when it is available.

What is hidden beneath the Sahara's sands? Amazing facts about this desert. It's hard to believe that anything of value could thrive in the Sahara's scorching heat and dryness, let alone without human presence. In spite of this, the Sahara, which is the largest hot desert in the world, has captivated travelers, explorers, and historians for centuries with its vast and alluring terrain. Covering an impressive 3.6 million square miles and spanning across ten North African countries, the Sahara boasts a diverse landscape ranging from towering sand dunes to rugged mountain ranges.

Тhese lands once became the cradle of humanity. But now, they are among the most dangerous places for human life. Barren deserts give way to luscious nature, but some of nature's dangers are greater than the scorching sun. These lands have some of the richest natural resources yet some of the poorest communities in the world. It's hard to imagine a place that is more controversial than this.
But what do we actually know about this vast and mysterious continent?
Did you know that most people have a distorted perception of Africa's size due to flawed mapping?
Is it true that Africa is set to split in two, and this process has already begun?
Could the largest dormant volcano on the continent wake up?
And what are these peculiar giant structures with precise geometric shapes that one can see from space?
Today, we’ll embark on a journey through Africa trying to see it from a quite unusual perspective.
Аfricа.

CSIS is pleased to welcome Mr. David Malpass, President of the World Bank Group, for a livestreamed armchair discussion.
In light of this year's G20 meeting and COP26, the World Bank Group is looking to build on efforts for climate finance and resiliency, debt relief, equitable access to vaccines, and more. As developing countries continue to struggle to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic, the World Bank will play a critical role in helping low- and middle-income countries achieve a green, resilient, and inclusive future.
In this conversation, Mr. Malpass will share his insights on the direction and goals of the World Bank Group as we work toward a post-Covid-19 world. The conversation will be moderated by Daniel Runde, Senior Vice President and Director of the Project on Prosperity and Development.
This event was made possible through general funding to CSIS.
