ECOWAS has unveiled a series of strategic publications in Abuja designed to preserve institutional memory and strengthen evidence based approaches to peace and security across West Africa, drawing on three decades of regional peace interventions and mediation efforts.
The launch brought together an influential gathering of policymakers, defence leaders and diplomats, including Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff General Christopher Gwabin Musa, ECOWAS Commissioner for Political Affairs Ambassador Abdel Fatau Musah, and members of the ECOWAS Permanent Representatives Committee from across West Africa.
Discussions centred on preserving regional knowledge and leveraging lessons from past interventions to strengthen responses to terrorism, violent extremism and other evolving security threats confronting the region, drawing participation from UNOWAS, WANEP, WACSI and the Centre for Democracy and Development.
At the occasion, former ECOMOG Commanders, their deputies and journalists who reported on regional civil wars from the frontlines were honoured for their sacrifices to West Africa’s peace and stability.
