- The UN Security Council hasn’t had a real reform since 1965—it’s pretty defunct. @alexstubb.bsky.social is pushing for change. I was asked by the UN Association Finland to write about how this could happen. Can the Nordics help fix multilateralism ? #UN #SecurityCouncil #Finland #Nordics

- Meantime, in Niamey #Niger: we witnessed last week a first quite impressive step of a transition or re- foundation dynamic happening through the Assises Nationales a Nigerien Version of a National Dialogue. Here is a first hand impression in a @berghoffnd.bsky.social blog.
- Jetzt gilt es, den Bullen bei den Hörnern zu packen.
- A new European security alliance makes sense.
- #friedenskanzler-in gesucht. Wer kann unser Land wieder zusammen bringen und zum Weltfrieden beitragen? (Große Ambitionen). Wahlplakat und Parolen allein gelten nicht. #positiverfrieden
- German Defence Minister Pistorius at the #MSC2025 comes out with „Klartext“ and shows that Germany and Europe are no stupid students and dependents. Now we have to follow this through with actions.
- Boris Pistorius würde ich in die Liga von Friedensmediatoren aufnehmen, obwohl oder gerade weil er zugibt kein dealmaler zu sein. Denn der Anker den Trump schon gesetzt hat, muss nicht das sein was wirklich verhandelt wird. #MSC2025
- Watching the MSC2025 from my living room in Niamey, Niger. After the Vance speech I kind of of understand how it feels like when the International Community preaches about democracy in Africa. It feels condescending.
- Dans trois jours, les Assises Nationales débuteront au Niger initiée par la CNSP, rassemblant 600 participants pour lancer lancé transition fort attendu. Avec la Fondation Berghof, j‘observe le processus de près, voici le Manuel avec des informations utiles:
- Schöner Artikel auch von der wertvollen Arbeit von Georg Klute der sich Jahrzehntelang als Ethnologe in der #sahel Region aufgehalten hat und es auch schafft mit selbsterhaltende Projekte aufzubauen die den jungen Menschen vor Ort eine Perspektive bieten. Migration und Sahel gehören zusammen.

- Reposted by Antje HerrbergFighting resumed this morning around Goma (shelling in Rusayo and combats between Monigi and Kibati). Goma airport has been closed by government authorities for the time being. Latest AFC (M23) communiqué declares “closure of airspace” over Goma.
- Tres inquiétant. Et très difficile pour la communauté internationale y inclus les Nations Unies.

- A UN according to US interest. Will the maintenance of national interests by member states now reign UN agencies? Only way is to show that pooling interest for global peace and security is the way rather than to follow this example as convincing it can be argued to taxpayers.

- Qatar who has been an important broker for the cease-fire in Gaza at least sees the role of the new US administration reassuring. #peacemediation
- Martin Luther King day iand Trumps inauguration. The irony of history. And in Zanzibar the sun is coming up, I have not heard the word T. here once in the last 10 days.
- If only half what is said in this article of a serious German newsmagazine @spiegel.de is coming into reality, us peaceniks and fans of multilateralism need to come up with pretty powerful strategies in order to stand a chance of survival. A big headache indeed, as Richard Gowan says.

- I love Wildlife Africa especially when I get to caress a Zebra. And I cannot post it on Facebook and Instagram anymore? The Zebra doesn’t care but I kind of do- it feels like a cultural rollback or revolution of sorts.

- Treated me to a last Yoga session and the Grand Hotel in Niamey. Headstands help the out of the box thinking necessary here.
- Immersion helps to understand: Sahel politics and society. As the only western participants from the CD’s at traditional wrestling in Dosso. We witnessed amazing moments of national and regional unity in the Sahel also with three PMs of Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso present.

- Joyeuses fêtes ! #nigerpositif
- #Niger As published in South Africa and Nigeria. Its true that the rise of food prices is hard to bear for the population and that market has not or cannot adjust just yet …regional dynamics also re #ECOWAS does not help.
- Indeed amazing to see how a society, can show boundaries against radical voices. This is a German football match with disturbed moment of silence to commemorate the incident in # Magdeburg and subsequent protest from the majority of the crowd.
- This years holiday season in Niger.
- Look who is here : one of the top #Sahel experts in Germany, Regional Head of the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung in Mali. @ulflaessing.bsky.social

- Brilliant „Europe today is like a well-dressed flâneur who is unaware he’s about to be attacked in an alley by a couple of street thugs“ Its going to be about the economy, which will dominate foreign policy. Rana Foroohar.
- So… what will happen, when three members of #ECOWAS step out?
- Was nun ohne EU Delegatiosleiter? Wer von der EU kann noch, will noch? Ulf Lässing plädiert für wenigstens eine eigenständige Rolle Berlins im #Sahel, Eigenständig ist ja nicht gleich unabhängig. Und man fühlt das Vakuum hier.

- Time to celebrate after far too long . Hopefully the @undppa.bsky.social gets to play a role in the upcoming certainly challenging transition, entailing a need for an inclusive #nationaldialogue @berghoffnd.bsky.social
- Amazed by this beautiful and celebration of #women crafts at the Salon International l’Artinasat pour la Femme SAFEM by the entire government (mostly male) of Niger, with a special focus on #Diffa. Special Guest: #Togo. n.B. CD mostly male too. #WPS @unwomen.bsky.social www.safemniger.org
- Zeit für eine eigenständige, vielleicht sogar (!) leitende Rolle für Berlin für das Europäische Engagement im #Sahel? Das deutet auf jeden Fall Ulf Lässing, Regionaldirektor Sahel der Konrad Adenauer Stiftung … (leider noch nicht hier vertreten) … #Afrika table.media/security/sta...
- Peace is a question of will. All conflicts can be solved. Time to reflect on the legacy of the grand master of #peacemediation #ahtisaari with Pekka Haavisto and MEP Thijs Reuten and a great line up of old and new faces in the European Parliament. Peace and Security are part of the same narrative!
