Dr. James Nyawo speaking at the Horn of Africa Security Dialogue 2026 podium

From The Podium

Navigating regional resilience

Whether the room holds forty diplomats or four hundred students, the register is the same: evidence first, then the argument, then the uncomfortable question nobody in the programme wanted to schedule. Recent platforms include the Horn of Africa Security Dialogue, convened on regional resilience in an era of declining international aid.
