• La menace régionale des enlèvements contre rançon dans le sud-ouest du Tchad
• Les enlèvements contre rancon ont considérablement augmenté depuis 2015 dans le Mayo-Kebbi Ouest, région frontalière entre le Tchad et le Cameroun. Les rançons élevées exigées pèsent lourdement sur les communautés, en particulier les jeunes, et favorisent un climat de peur et de méfiance qui alimente les conflits violents inter- et intracommunautaires. Les gouvernements du Tchad, du Cameroun et de la République centrafricaine doivent agir dès maintenant pour inverser ce...

• Une entreprise risquée : engager des groupes d'autodéfense dans le bassin du lac Tchad
• Les pays de la région du bassin du lac Tchad font recours à des groupes d'autodéfense. Les risques associés aux opérations de vigilance sont encourus par les membres de ces groupes et leurs communautés, même lorsque les forces de sécurité étatiques engagent officiellement ces groupes de vigilance. Un tel transfert de risque vers les groupes soulève non seulement des questions éthiques, mais augmente également le risque de rivalité et de violence. Sur la base de recherches empiriques...

• Le violent conflit dans le bassin du lac Tchad se poursuit. Les insurgés de Boko Haram adoptent désormais le modus operandi d'autres groupes criminels non idéologiques afin de réduire leur profil de risque dans les zones qu'ils contrôlaient auparavant. Ce changement de tactique, ainsi que la formation d'une double identité qui en résulte, compliquent l'instauration d'une paix durable et nécessitent des ajustements politiques. Depuis 2017, les acteurs gouvernementaux et les agences i...

• Kidnappings have risen drastically since 2015 in Mayo-Kebbi West, a border region between Chad and Cameroon. High ransom demands are placing a heavy burden on the communities, particularly young people, and are fostering a climate of fear and mistrust that fuels violent inter- and intra-community conflicts. The governments of Chad, Cameroon and the Central African Republic must act now to reverse this devastating trend.

• Despite efforts by the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC) over the past decade to address the protracted conflict involving Boko Haram and its splinter groups in the Lake Chad Basin, common integrated approaches to dealing with armed groups are lacking among member states. This bicc report focuses on several aspects that are promising for maximising impact. Adopting a regional lens for conflict analysis in and around Lake Chad is paramount. At the time of wr...

• Prisoner’s Dilemma: Hedging Loyalties in (Un)Governed Space of the Lake Chad Basin
• This article examines the dynamics of interactions between civilians, armed groups, and the state in frontline states. Drawing on a 6-year ethnographic study of armed conflicts in the Lake Chad Basin region, the article argues that civilian loyalty becomes multiple and overlapping when the roles of the state and armed groups become indistinguishable in insecure spaces. A range of actions and outcomes can be observed from civilians’ navigating strategies: individual and collective ba...

• The Lake Chad Basin (LCB) region is battling the scene of continuous violent conflicts and climate-induced displacement. While the state counterinsurgency measures have helped regain some of the areas controlled by non-state armed groups, a large portion of the agriculturally-rich areas in the region remain a battlefield between the state and insurgent groups. The inaccessibility of the civilian population to the contested areas has disrupted food production systems, causing a sharp...

Boko Haram insurgents are now adopting the modus operandi of other non-ideological criminal groups to reduce their risk profile in areas they previously controlled. This change in tactics and the resulting dual identity formation complicates the achievement of sustainable peace and necessitates policy adjustments. Since 2017, government actors and international agencies have repeatedly indicated that the situation in north-east...

[Project] Analysis on MANPADS

• MANPADS (Man Portable Air Defense Systems) are relatively small weapons with potential huge effects. They can be used especially for asymmetrical warfare and terrorist attacks, for instance on civilian aircraft, with devastating results. On behalf of the German Foreign Office, BICC investigates the effects of these weapons to contribute to a threat analysis and the evaluation of international control regimes and the international security discourse. 

[Project] Smart Technology in SALW Control: Civilian Protection, the UN-POA, and Transfer Control (SmartCon)

• On behalf of the German Foreign Office, BICC organized an international conference from 17 to 18 June 2013 in Berlin, entitled “Smart Technology in SALW Control: Civilian Protection, the UN-Programme of Action, and Transfer Control” (SmartCon).

The aim is to help improve the storage of weapons and ammunit...

[Project] Development of social requirements for concentrated solar power (CSP) plants in the MENA region

• Solar thermal power plants in North Africa have the potential to satisfy the growing demand for energy. But these innovations come at a price—for example, in the form of the redistribution of resources such as land and water. BICC is studying the potential for conflict and socio-economic consequences of solar thermal power plants in Morocco and Egypt in a research project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
