This round table aims to understand how Delta Niger militants switched from peaceful demonstrations in the 90" to violence against oil companies and federal government since 2006. The situation was so unstable in 2009, that oil majors, unable to deliver their normal output, put pressure on Nigeria to propose an amnesty process to the militants. We will emphasize the consequences of this amnesty in a particularly tense electoral environment. The Delta Niger will definitely be one of the top priorities of the new president, in a country where 80% of the budget is coming from oil sector. We will also try to underline what can be done in the long term to prevent another surge of violence.
Ce débat s'inscrit dans la série des "Mardis de l'Ifri à Bruxelles". Frais de participation (excepté membres): 10€

Paris Naval Conference 2025: Naval Power and the Challenges of Securing Maritime Autonomy
Playing a crucial role in the global economy, the maritime economy, which includes maritime transport, fishing, the extraction of underwater resources, the leisure and tourism sectors and, increasingly, marine renewable energies, is particularly exposed to the deterioration of international relations when it is expressed primarily in common spaces. As such, it seems inexorably destined to (re)become an essential issue for the navies in charge of securing maritime activities.
