This video highlights some of the signs of potential Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA)—a common category of child abuse in emergencies—and how you can respond to effectively safeguard children.

2017. March. Wilson Center. Water from West Africa to the Middle East.



Environmental Change and Security Program | Wilson Center

From West Africa to the Middle East, Water and the Rise of Insurgencies in the "Arc of Instability"

Water scarcity and conflict over freshwater resources have contributed to an “arc of instability” stretching from West Africa through the Maghreb and across the Mediterranean to the Middle East. Rural livelihoods are collapsing, displacing many, and violent extremist organizations like Boko Haram, Al Qaeda, and ISIS are gaining footholds in areas where governance is weak. As local communities demand better provisioning of water, insurgent groups, building on discontent, use water to finance their operations and as a weapon of war.
This panel will examine the causes of water conflict in the region, discuss implications for U.S. interests, and examine possible interventions to support better water governance.
