Fifth Annual Regional Economic Communities (RECs) Dialogue Advances Fisheries Governance in Africa
Recognizing the critical role of Regional Economic Communities (RECs) in driving the implementation of continental fisheries policies and addressing region-specific priorities, AU-IBAR is hosting the Fifth Annual Dialogue with Regional Economic Communities (RECs) from 30th July to 1st August 2025 in Naivasha, Kenya. This critical gathering has brought together fisheries experts, policymakers and development partners to review progress on the Fisheries Governance Project Phase 2 (FishGov2) and chart the way forward for sustainable fisheries management across the continent. In her opening address, the Director of AU-IBAR, Dr Huyam Salih (represented by Mrs Hellen Guebama, AU-IBAR Fisheries Officer), emphasized the pivotal role of RECs in implementing continental fisheries policies while addressing regional priorities. She acknowledged the European Union's continued support through FishGov2, which is currently in its final extension phase running until October 2026. The Director highlighted the project's achievements in policy harmonization, capacity building, and the development of regional Blue Economy strategies, while stressing the need to modernize outdated legal frameworks that still govern fisheries in some member states. Participants at the dialogue are focusing on key recommendations to strengthen fisheries governance, including deeper involvement of RECs in decision-making processes, adaptation of continental policies to local contexts, and sustained financial and technical support for regional initiatives. The discussions are laying the groundwork for a potential third phase of the FishGov project, with RECs advocating for continued investment in Africa's fisheries sector. The meeting is reinforcing the African Union's commitment to collaborative governance, recognizing RECs as essential platforms for coordinating fisheries management across the continent. As the Director notes, this annual dialogue serves not only as a procedural requirement but also as a vital space for joint reflection and planning to ensure Africa's fisheries are governed sustainably and equitably. Looking ahead, stakeholders focus on finalizing the FishGov2 extension phase, developing proposals for a potential third phase and scaling up regional Blue Economy initiatives to enhance food security and coastal livelihoods. The dialogue will conclude with a renewed commitment to transforming Africa's fisheries sector through strengthened regional cooperation and governance. This gathering marks another important step in Africa's journey toward sustainable fisheries management and blue-economic development. The dialogue is part of annual meetings held with RECs to strengthen project implementation on Fisheries Governance issues.

Libya's GNU strikes smuggling networks with Turkish drones in message to rivals
Libya's internationally recognised government has begun using Turkish drones to strike people-smuggling networks. Strikes were carried out on Wednesday in the northwestern coastal cities of Sabratha and Zwara, the Government of National Unity (GNU) announced. The strikes were 'part of a systematic security campaign and comprehensive strategic plan aimed at intensifying operations to degrade and dismantle the criminal gangs and networks trafficking in human lives and people-smuggling into Europe,' Abdulsalam Al-Zoubi, the GNU's deputy defence minister, said on Thursday. 'These operations, which included the inaugural use of UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles], demonstrate the determination and zero-tolerance approach of the GNU in tackling these criminal networks and disrupting their illegal activity.' A source within the GNU told Middle East Eye that the drones were 'Turkish UAVs owned and operated by the Libyan Ministry of Defence'. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters While authorities have previously carried out air strikes against such groups, this was their first use of drones. The defence ministry said it targeted factories used to manufacture boats and other equipment essential to people and weapon-smuggling schemes. 'No civilian casualties' For several years, criminal organisations have operated along Libya's coast, particularly in the northwest, facilitating irregular migration for people trying to reach Europe from the African continent. The ministry said it issued warnings to residents in Sabratha and Zwara ahead of the strikes, and that no civilian casualties were reported. Emadeddin Badi, an expert on Libyan security and politics, said Zoubi's involvement in these strikes was significant. 'He recently visited Turkey and is the person that has coordinated these strikes with Turkish support,' Badi told MEE. Trump envoy Massad Boulos to visit Libya amid rising tensions, sources say Read More » 'His involvement, especially from Mitiga, is a signal that he's asserting operational autonomy, even within the GNU's own command structure.' Mitiga is an airport in Tripoli that was the source of tension recently between the GNU and Rada, a powerful armed group. 'Their coordination from this base is a big signal that is key to unpacking [the strikes'] significance,' said Badi. The analyst added that while some reports, citing GNU officials, had framed the strikes as being carried out by Turkish Akinci drones, he had received information to suggest that Bayraktar TB2 drones had been used. 'Akincis are based between Wutiya and Misrata, whereas the recent strikes originated from Mitiga, which only hosts TB2s,' he said. Zoubi stated that the strikes sent a clear message to non-state actors in Libya that all measures, including military actions within international law, would be taken to 're-establish border control, strengthen national security, and reaffirm the sovereignty of the state'. Over the past decade, trafficking and smuggling along the coast has been a key tool used by militias and non-state actors in Libya to wield political and financial influence. Eastern Libya is controlled by a rival administration dominated by Khalifa Haftar, a military commander. Two years ago, people smugglers in the east linked to Haftar were accused of involvement in a deadly shipwreck off the coast of Greece that killed more than 500 people. Badi said that as well as targeting smugglers, Wednesday's operation also targeted those loyal to Mohamed Bahroun, known as al-Far (the rat), a prominent militia leader and known GNU opponent. 'It also serves as a deterrent message to rivals in the west coast,' he said. 'That kind of signalling aligns closely with Ankara's broader goal in Libya: avoiding another armed confrontation in Tripoli.'

Zambia Seeks 12-Month Extension for IMF Loan Deal
Zambia's government is pushing for a 12-month extension to its current loan arrangement with the International Monetary Fund, according to an official cabinet statement released on Wednesday. The proposal, if approved, would see the existing agreement, set to expire at the end of October, continue until October 2024. This decision follows a series of critical economic challenges faced by the southern African nation, which is heavily reliant on copper exports and has struggled with high public debt. The government's request is indicative of Zambia's efforts to secure sustained financial support while navigating the complexities of its recovery from an economic downturn. Zambia entered into a $1.3 billion loan programme with the IMF in 2022, aimed at stabilising the nation's economy and restructuring its debt. The programme, supported by Zambia's commitment to fiscal reforms, has been a key part of the country's strategy to restore investor confidence and economic growth after years of rising debt levels and financial instability. ADVERTISEMENT The IMF's loan has allowed Zambia to access essential financial assistance, which is crucial for keeping the country's public sector functioning. However, with the expiry date fast approaching, the government has expressed concerns over its ability to maintain fiscal discipline without the extended backing of the IMF. In the statement, officials acknowledged the difficulties of meeting all of the programme's requirements, particularly in the wake of global economic uncertainties and domestic fiscal challenges. 'The extension would help us maintain macroeconomic stability and continue our debt restructuring efforts,' said a senior government official familiar with the matter. The IMF's financial support has been instrumental in stabilising Zambia's economy during a period of serious external shocks, including the COVID-19 pandemic, global supply chain disruptions, and fluctuating copper prices. Copper, a vital commodity for the country, accounts for a significant portion of its export revenue, and its price volatility has had a substantial impact on Zambia's economic performance. The request for an extension also comes amid concerns about Zambia's debt sustainability. The country's public debt, which has been a long-standing issue, reached unsustainable levels over the past decade, leading to Zambia becoming the first African nation to default on its debt in 2020. Since then, the government has been working to renegotiate its loans with international creditors, and an extension of the IMF programme would give Zambia more time to make progress in these talks. Zambia's appeal for more time is not only about meeting the IMF programme's fiscal targets but also about gaining room to implement deeper economic reforms. The government has set out plans to streamline public sector expenditures, curb inflation, and improve the management of foreign currency reserves. However, achieving these goals remains a complex challenge, given the constraints of its economic environment. ADVERTISEMENT The extension would also enable the IMF to continue offering its expertise and monitoring Zambia's financial situation, ensuring that the country adheres to the necessary reform measures. The IMF has praised Zambia's efforts to restore fiscal discipline but has emphasised that continued progress is required to ensure long-term sustainability. It remains to be seen whether the IMF will grant the extension, but Zambia's request reflects the deep-seated need for international assistance as the country works to recover from its financial crises. Economists have warned that without additional support, Zambia could face serious setbacks in its recovery efforts. The IMF is expected to make a decision on the extension in the coming weeks, following consultations with the Zambian government. If approved, the additional 12 months would provide Zambia with the breathing space it needs to solidify its fiscal foundations and continue with much-needed reforms. This loan extension request also has implications for the broader global financial landscape. Given Zambia's role as one of the largest copper producers in Africa, the country's economic stability is of significance not only to its own population but also to the global supply chains that depend on its copper exports. The outcome of the IMF's decision could have a ripple effect on other countries in sub-Saharan Africa that are facing similar debt challenges. As global inflationary pressures and rising interest rates continue to impact developing economies, Zambia's negotiations with the IMF could set a precedent for other nations grappling with fiscal instability.
