West Africa
Amid rising political volatility, military takeovers, the growing presence of paramilitary actors, and persisting insecurity, West Africa is undergoing profound transformation. Non-state armed groups and violent extremist organisations (VEOs) are expanding their reach, while foreign businesses face growing operational difficulties. In West Africa, and the Sahel region more specifically, human rights conditions are deteriorating, insurgency is escalating, and political suppression is intensifying, with these destabilising dynamics increasingly spilling into coastal states such as Benin and Togo.
