Round Table: Conflicting spaces. A roundtable on the crisis in Central Sahel and its surrounds
We have jumped in last minute to organise a roundtable this Friday on the security situation/spatial reconfigurations in the Sahel at the Africa Multiple Cluster conference on Spatialities.
This roundtable examines how different forms of violent conflict which mark the Sahel's multiple crises impact people's understandings of space, place, and politics. It begins with an overview from the panelists of how violent conflictuality and associated security politics are understood by different involved stakeholders and conflict participants. The panelists will then offer an explanation of the implications of different responses to the Sahel's crises and what this means for their potential trajectories.
Chair and moderator: Jana Hönke (UBT, Bayreuth)
Panelists: Yacouba Banhoro (ACC Ouagadougou) Kamal Donko (LASDEL, Benin) Bintou Koné (UBT/LACET) Adam Sandor (UBT, Bayreuth)
Participation in person is possible for free and without registration. If you want to participate online, you have to register (for free) for the Africa Multiple Cluster Conference.
