Rapport sur le Conseil de paix et de sécurité
Summary
This October 2012 report by the Institute for Security Studies provides early warning analysis and country-specific assessments for Somalia, South Sudan, and Côte d'Ivoire, focusing on political transitions, security architecture, and regional stability within the framework of the African Union's Peace and Security Council (PSC).
Key insights
- Somalia reached a significant political milestone in August and September 2012 with the adoption of a provisional Constitution on August 1, the inauguration of a new federal Parliament on August 20, and the election of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud on September 10.
- Despite political progress, Somalia faces severe security threats from Al Shebab, which has shifted toward guerrilla tactics and flash attacks, and the new government remains weak with limited territorial control beyond the capital, Mogadishu.
- The European Union provided 82 million euros in additional support to AMISOM in October 2012 to help the mission reach its authorized threshold of 17,731 troops, bringing total EU aid to 411.4 million euros since 2007.
- On September 27, 2012, Sudan and South Sudan signed a series of agreements in Addis Ababa covering security, borders, and oil, including a deal where Juba will pay a tax of one dollar per barrel of oil transiting through the North.
- South Sudan's stability is threatened by internal challenges, including ethnic violence in Jonglei state, rumors of military coups, and high inflation, which reached 60% in July 2012 and 43% in August 2012.
- The UN mission in South Sudan (MINUSS) reported grave human rights violations committed by 'undisciplined' South Sudanese army elements in Jonglei state between July 15 and August 20, 2012, including 12 rapes and 8 abductions.
- Côte d'Ivoire experienced a series of attacks by unidentified armed elements in August and September 2012, targeting security sites in Port-Bouët (Abidjan) and Noé (border with Ghana), exposing failures in the security architecture established after the post-election crisis.
- The Ivorian government created a National Security Council (CNS) and a single Authority for DDR (ADDR) to centralize the management of security sector reform and disarmament under the Presidency.
- Tensions exist between Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana due to the presence of pro-Gbagbo political and military exiles in Ghana and the release on bail of former Budget Minister Justin Koné Katinan by Ghanaian justice in September 2012.
