The UN Security Council hasn’t had a real reform since 1965—it’s pretty defunct. @alexstubb.bsky.social is pushing for change. I was asked by the UN Association Finland to write about how this could happen.

Can the Nordics help fix multilateralism ?

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Meantime, in Niamey #Niger: we witnessed last week a first quite impressive step of a transition or re- foundation dynamic happening through the Assises Nationales a Nigerien Version of a National Dialogue. Here is a first hand impression in a @berghoffnd.bsky.social blog.

A new European security alliance makes sense.
Friedrich Merz, Germany’s next chancellor, has floated the idea of a new European defense alliance to replace NATO. He is also hawkish on Russia and has apparently resolved to take on Donald Trump with the same determination.

All of this is good news for Ukraine.
Germany’s Merz offers hope for Ukraine amid the Trump nightmare
With European security in the balance, Friedrich Merz could lead a new Western alliance, without America. But will Germany let him?

The visit of the new EU Special Representative to the Sahel was rather well received in #Niger. Taking place at the time of the Assisses Nationales, a rather positive atmosphere gives hope for a new beginning of #EU - Niger relations. #CSFP

German Defence Minister Pistorius at the #MSC2025 comes out with „Klartext“ and shows that Germany and Europe are no stupid students and dependents. Now we have to follow this through with actions.

Boris Pistorius würde ich in die Liga von Friedensmediatoren aufnehmen, obwohl oder gerade weil er zugibt kein dealmaler zu sein. Denn der Anker den Trump schon gesetzt hat, muss nicht das sein was wirklich verhandelt wird. #MSC2025

Watching the MSC2025 from my living room in Niamey, Niger. After the Vance speech I kind of of understand how it feels like when the International Community preaches about democracy in Africa. It feels condescending.

After the fall of Goma, Kinshasa needs to accept that the next steps should be decided around the negotiating table.

At the same time, western and regional powers must continue to press Kigali to rethink and abandon its bellicose positioning.

Now that #DRC's Goma has fallen to the Rwandan-backed M23 Rebels, my @crisisgroup.org colleagues warn that there is a serious risk of regional war erupting.

Our statement looks at how to avoid this scenario and what tomorrow's East African summit can yield.

Fall of DRC’s Goma: Urgent Action Needed to Avert a Regional War | Crisis Group
On the morning of 27 January, Rwandan-backed March 23 (M23) rebels swept into Goma, capital of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo’s North Kivu province, seizing control of the city of one million. The development marks a dramatic escalation in the long-running crisis. The fighting has uprooted over two million from their homes, exposing thousands around Goma to predation by various militias. Rwanda and the M23 now control practically all of North Kivu province and by force of arms have forged a new reality in the region. Worse could well be on the way. Rebels are pushing deeper into the neighbouring South Kivu province and menacing its capital Bukavu, suggesting they have ambitions beyond Goma or at least are seeking to ramp up the pressure on a weakened Kinshasa. Left unchecked, the fighting could spread throughout the Great Lakes region, recalling the horrors of the late 1990s and early 2000s, when millions died amid a multi-country war in the Congo.
