Who is unival group GmbH? What do we stand for and what is our #mission? This is obviously a question we regularly ask ourselves. As we have significantly been growing the portfolio and services, we found it quite challenging to compress this to the maximum possible. If you are interested to see how good we did, you may want to look at the unival #corporate profile for the year #2024.

Apart from regional cooperation and robust security partnerships, the adoption of modern technology will help secure the region. unival group GmbH offers a variety of equipment for the purpose. "Challenged on 3 fronts: the security of West Africa. 1. West Africa has been in the news in recent times due to the security challenges it faces. In the north, east and the eastern half of the south, the region seems to be boxed in by security challenges. 2. To the north is the rising momentum of terror groups that are sweeping across the Sahel and taking territories. With indiscriminate attacks and the spread of fear, states in the Sahel are currently facing political instability. 3. Extremists are not only stopping at the borders of these states: they are moving southwards to the savannah regions of littoral states. From eastern Sahel, through Mali and Burkina to south-eastern Niger, militants seem to control the northern fringes of West Africa—largely. 4. On the eastern fringes of the region are multiple security challenges. The Lake Chad Basin which covers the upper eastern border to the region has major security issues. The place is awash in extremism, and a major transit area for illicit arms from Central Africa. 5. The homogeneous ethno-religious makeup of the region makes transnational crimes fester. 6. To the south-east is the “Ambazonia” separatism in Cameroun that is increasingly becoming militant. The Anglophone population of the country that has felt marginalized over the decades is fighting for independence—some are asking for more autonomy. 7. The Paul Biya government is taking none of this. This is happening right on the border of West Africa. 8. To the eastern half of the south is the problem of piracy that has worsened in recent years. The kind of piracy in West Africa has been seen to be different from that of the Somali coast. In many cases in West Africa, pirates have shown interest in stealing cargo—especially oil. 9. While regional navies continue to patrol the waters, the threat is still there. 10. What are the effects? 11. West Africa has several important economies and strategic resources in the continent. Nigeria is the largest in terms of population and economy in Africa. Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal are also important. 12. Nigeria is a major producer of oil in the world. In 2020 and 2021, Ghana topped gold production in Africa. Cote d’Ivoire is the number one cocoa producer in the world. 13. There are significant Uranium deposits and mines in the Sahel. Guinea has one of the largest Bauxite deposits in the world. 14. This calls for cooperation among regional and global players towards ensuring security in West Africa. The proximity of the region to Europe should not be taken lightly by Brussels. 15. An African-led initiative with global support should be prioritized." #africa DefSEC Analytics Africa Ltd unival group GmbH Below: a map showing West Africa. image: iStock

We must aspire to keep the wealth in Africa and keep the threats out. Managing the stream of goods and and maintaining their integrity are among the most important priorities. It is common sense and collaboration that will lead to an economic upswing in Afirca that will enable growth and prosperity rather than continuous corruption and conflicts.

From November 20 to 22, security specialists from 15 member states of Regional Centre on Small Arms-RECSA and the United Nations gathered in Nairobi, Kenya, to confront the pressing issue of small arms and light weapons proliferation in Africa. RECSA Executive Secretary, Jean Pierre Betindji emphasized the critical need for improved information sharing and enhanced monitoring capacities to address this transnational challenge. Key strategies discussed included strengthening arms stockpile management and aligning with international treaties like the Arms Trade Treaty.

Authorities in Cote d’Ivoire and Madagascar undo Islamic State network planning to reach Europe. 1. Last month, during the West Africa Mining Security Conference, an Africa Director of the International Crisis Group made an interesting submission on terrorism in West Africa. 2. In explaining how the various countries seek to tackle the terror scourge, he mentioned that Cote d’Ivoire is doing well with its counterterrorism strategy. He partly attributed that to the leadership under the country's independence leader Houphoet Boigny. According to him, the Ivorian leader prioritized national security and maintained strong intelligence institutions for obvious reasons. 3. He explained that despite the Civil Wars and some terror attacks in recent decades, the country’s intelligence efficacy has bounced back. The country is, therefore, unlikely to experience a terror attack on the scale of what occurred in 2016 in Abidjan. 4. And so, what? 5. News that Ivorian and Malagasy security authorities have helped thwart and dismantle a terror network that was planning to reach and attack Europe gives credence to this assertion of the security expert. 6. In collaboration with French and American intelligence agencies, the two countries arrested 8 ISIS operatives of Syrian and Iraqi origin. The report adds that many of these operatives were released from a Sudanese prison in 2022. They subsequently, established a cell in the capital of Madagascar and proceeded to collaborate with accomplices in Cote d’Ivoire. 7. The Paris Olympics had been a target for the group. It was good they were rounded up before they could cause havoc. However, the success of the intelligence services of the two countries signals a counterterrorism message for Africa. 8. How? 9. Firstly, Africa is becoming increasingly attractive for terror organizations to operate. With porous and compromised borders, space for money laundering and relatively free range for illicit activities, the continent is becoming a location of choice for global terrorism from where attacks elsewhere could be planned. 10. Furthermore, more disciplined and proactive intelligence gathering could help avert attacks and uncover these networks. The works of the Malagasy and Ivorian intelligence speak to this. 11. Importantly too, the cooperation of the intelligence services of global security partners of Africa is essential to fighting the terror scourge across the world. There should be symbiotic relations between intelligence communities for the greater good. 12. Back to porous borders and compromised entry and exit points, my work with unival group GmbH gives me the confidence that the adoption of modern screening and detection technology as well as other detection concepts could help fight terrorism as rogue actors are denied entry and the conduit of illicit activities to fund their heinous trade get cut. 13. They are not going to stop; they need to be stopped. #africa #EU
