Depuis une vingtaine d’années, la réforme du secteur de sécurité (RSS) s’est imposée comme un outil indispensable de sortie de crise et de reconstruction des pays faibles et faillis, au cœur du continuum sécurité-développement. Il est temps de faire le bilan des leçons apprises sur la RSS et de proposer une analyse des bonnes pratiques et des leçons à tirer de ces expériences. Si les « bonnes RSS » sont assez rares, l’expérience acquise permet de dégager quelques principes d’action. Plus les RSS réussissent à mobiliser une pluralité d’acteurs, plus elles ont de chance de réussir. Les RSS doivent aussi réunir plusieurs conditions : avoir une vision stratégique, construire une approche globale, lier efficacité et gouvernance, être durable, adopter le rythme adéquat ; et enfin recruter les bonnes personnes. Bien que les « bonnes RSS » soient difficiles à mettre en place, l’enjeu est très important puisqu’il s’agit de ramener une paix durable dans un pays.

    This paper suggests that tribal dynamics of power structure are key in reestablishing peace and development in the region.

In recent decades mistreatment, favoritism, and corruption allowed criminality and multidimensional conflicts to flourish. This is evident in Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Libya, and Chad. Lightly governed and poorly secured regions in these countries became more strate ...

Modi further reassured the international community by stating that the technology will only be used for security, peace, and development purposes, and that the act did no ...

    With India looking more towards Africa as a home for sustainable partners, it is also looking at diversifying the areas of collaboration with several African countries, especially with Morocco. As early as 1967, India’s then Vice-President Zakir Hussain visited Morocco and set the tone for engagement between both countries. The latter has established diplomatic relations based on mutual understanding, tolerance and respect. Since then, the two countries have enjoyed fruitful relatio ...
