Peace and Security Council Report No 33

Peace and Security Council Report No 33 provides analysis and recommendations regarding political instability and security crises in Madagascar, Guinea-Bissau, and Libya, while reviewing the African Union Peace and Security Council's efforts to protect vulnerable groups in armed conflicts.

• Madagascar remains suspended from the African Union due to a lack of progress on key issues, specifically the enactment of amnesty legislation necessary for the Road Map to end the crisis. Additionally, a military demonstration in March 2012 regarding poor working and living conditions has raised concerns about potential mutiny.
• Following the death of President Malam Bacai Sanha, Guinea-Bissau held presidential elections on 18 March 2012. There are concerns that a power vacuum and the fragile balance between military and political interests could intensify power struggles among the state's security and political elite.
• Libya faces rising tensions between militias, tribal groups, and regional factions, with reports suggesting up to 700 militia groups exist in the absence of a unified army. Tensions have been further escalated by the eastern region of Cyrenaica declaring a regional council for self-rule, leading NTC chairman Mustafa Abul Jalil to warn of a possible 'civil war'.
