Full textAbstract:
The Lake Chad Basin is an important natural resource that cut across several countries among which are Nigeria, Niger, Chad, Cameroon, Algeria, Central African Republic and Libya. In a bid to ensure the effective utilization of the water of the basin, the countries have engaged in cooperation through the creation of Lake Chad Basin Commission. The Commission has embarked on certain programmes to achieve its aim, hence the need for the assessment of the cooperation between countries around the basin. This work is an assessment albeit critical, of the cooperation within that commission. Part of the findings of the paper is that the Lake Chad Basin Commission has been unable to achieve objectives it sets for itself. Certain challenges which include but not limited to, lack of political will among members of the Commission, reoccurrence of violence, lack of adequate finance, poor organizational structure, cultural and language difference have worked either individually or in tandem to frustrate the realization of what appeared ab initio to be the noble and lofty goals of the commission. The contention of the paper therefore, is that the Lake Chad Basin Commission member states should reflect and modernize its initial objectives and operationalize the ingredients of its cooperation to derive the positivity laden in the agreements or else risk the extinction of an important water resource. Data for the paper were sourced using both primary and secondary. Other variables and methodological approaches like analysis, discourse, and accountability and of course, chronological delineations were generously employed in reconstruction. Study of this nature is multidisciplinary and knitted in the International studies, Security studies, and Diplomatic and Military history.

Full textAbstract:
Lake Chad Basin is facing increasing drought, desertification and climate change induced terrorism which has resulted into killing, destruction of socio-economic facilities and movement of people from the basin in search of greener pasture for their livestock down south of the country. The movement has exacerbated farmers and herders' fight as the historical animal routes had been encroached upon by urbanization processes and farmland development. The study utilizes descriptive analysis and theory to draw inferences, recommendation for the Lake Chad basins conflict resolution. The study opines that member states had not adequately provided developmental projects for their people and the Lake Chad Basin Commission is relying heavily on international organization for funding as a result of unsatisfactory financial commitment of the member states. This paper posits while relying on the conflict resolutions theory that a rallying point or projects are needed for the conflict to end, that the Lake Chad Basin Commission members states need to capitalize on opportunities offered by climate resilient technologies such as Air to Water Technologies; technology for conversion of silt in the lake to fertilizer for agricultural development use and packaging of sun for electricity generation in the basin for member states and later for export purposes as been done in Arab desert can help to reduce the conflict in the basin area.

This article assessed security architecture for counter-insurgency against Boko Haram in the Lake Chad Basin (LCB). The paper diagnosed the impact of conflicting national interests of contributing nations on the performance of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) as a regional security architecture in the LCB. Some scholars and analysts cite corruption, historical contradictions among LCB members, poor funding, and complex nature of the insurgency, as factors responsible for failure of counter-insurgency operations in the LCB. Others contend that resource geopolitics, linguistic differences, and hegemonic politics have impacted negatively on the capacity of the MNJTF to decimate terrorists in the region. This is a qualitative study that draws from the Fund for Peace, International Crisis Group (ICG), Lake Chad Basin Commission, the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED), and research literature dealing with national interest and military alliances, while using content analysis to argue that conflicts in national interests, more than any other factor, have hampered the collaborative efforts of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC) and weakened the capacity of the MNJTF to engage in robust counterinsurgency against Boko Haram in the LCB.

Full textAbstract:
Environmental conflicts manifest in different ways, with context-specific impacts on the affected regions. Emerging as a crucial point of national and international security, issues of climate change have taken the fore. In the Lake Chad Region, more people have become more susceptible to the climate change, given the poverty level, unemployment and inadequate governance in these regions. Christened as the world’s most complicated humanitarian disaster, the receding lake which has served as a major source of livelihood in time past is now a haven for violent conflict and extremist groups. Assuming top on the agenda of African Union (AU) Peace and Security Council and the UN Peacebuilding Commission meetings held in 2022, its importance cannot be underestimated. To this end, this paper strengthens the evidence on climate-related conflict in the Lake Chad Basin and its simultaneous effect on human security. Using qualitative method, data was gathered through secondary sources, such as journal articles, reports from the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC), books and online sources on the subject matter. Data gathered were analyzed using content analysis. Findings reveals that the vulnerability of the area based on poverty, historical antecedents to conflict and crime, as well as the growing population makes the response to the receding lake naturally violent. It is recommended therefore, that the Lake should be revived and nourished by joint collaboration from states within the region and international actors as a long term plan. Also, resilient measures through employment opportunities and skilled training should be available for the youths and most vulnerable people.

Full textAbstract:
This article entitled “Resource Competition between Nomadic Pastoralists and Sedentary Crop Farmers in Southern Taraba State, Nigeria” aimed at exploring the dynamics of resource competition as it affected nomadic pastoralists and sedentary crop farmers in Southern Taraba State, Nigeria. Research design adopted was descriptive that depended on judgmental sampling technique. Secondary sources of data collection (books, journal articles, monographs, internet materials among others) were sourced from Nigerian libraries and internet. The documentary data were subjected to content validity before qualitatively analyzed into the study. Findings revealed that environmental degradation caused by climate change and shrinking of Lake Chad Basin was the remote factors that trigger resource competition between nomadic pastoralists and sedentary crop farmers in Southern Taraba State, Nigeria. The resource competition has negative consequences on economy, humanitarian, political and social life of the people. Federal government has proposed Cattle Colony, National Livestock Development Plan, Rural Grazing Area, while Taraba State government promulgated Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranching Establishment Law No. 7 of 2017. Regrettably, the resource competition continues unabatedly hence the adoption of Relative Deprivation Theory to deepen the understanding of the series of crises between farmers and herders in Southern Taraba State, Nigeria. The study recommends that federal government should fund ranches; establish National Climate Change Commission as well as revive Lake Chad Basin Commission. These would be panacea for resource competition between nomadic pastoralists and sedentary crop farmers in Southern Taraba State, Nigeria.

Abstract The recent proliferation of cross-border conflicts in Africa has led to the establishment of multiple Ad Hoc Security Initiatives (asi s) on the continent. However, the effectiveness of these initiatives has varied considerably. As such, there is now increased academic and policy interest in the Multinational Joint Task Force (mnjtf), which has seen substantial operational success over the course of its mandate. This paper seeks to contribute to the debate on the strengths and weaknesses of the mnjtf model and the effectiveness of the Force in the Lake Chad region through an exploration of the mnjtf from an internal perspective. The authors of this paper have both worked closely with the mnjtf in recent years and the paper is based upon interviews with current and former mnjtf personnel, staff of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (which oversees the mnjtf) as well as donor and UN partners. In exploring this internal perspective, the article undertakes an in-depth examination of the mnjtf, including the relationship between the headquarters and the sectors, and assesses the impact the mnjtf has had upon the Troop Contributing Countries (tcc s). It identifies areas where the mnjtf has become a regional hub of best practice, challenges that have compromised its effectiveness, and the impact of military diplomacy on the security of the region. Finally, it concludes by drawing lessons from this experience for other conflicts requiring a comprehensive regional and international response.

Full textAbstract:
International terrorism became a major concern to Nigeria with the emergence of the Boko Haram Islamist group from around 2009, and the escalation of attacks on the country by the sect. The group has bases in neighbouring countries of Chad, Niger, and Cameroon. This made the governments of Presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Mohammadu Buhari to be involved in negotiations, dialogues, shuttle diplomacy, and the usage of other tools of foreign relations with these contiguous countries. The Multinational Task Force (MNTF) was established in 1993 by Lake Chad Basin Commission and had to be resuscitated and invigorated by the governments of Jonathan and Buhari. However, the insurgency lingered despite these concerted efforts. This paper attempts to investigate why several foreign and security policy initiatives of the Nigerian government have failed to find lasting solutions to the insurgency. Secondary data, qualitative research methods, and content analysis were used as a methodology in this research. Findings showed that inefficiencies of government, poverty, and porous borders made it easier for Boko Haram terrorists to recruit members from these neighbouring countries. It was also revealed that this insurgency has made Nigeria lose foreign direct investment (FDI) because some Multinational Corporations (MNCs) relocated from the country. Therefore, the study advocates a wider approach that incorporates economic programs that would reduce poverty among the local populace and stronger border controls, among others.

The study examines Nigerian subregional diplomacy: study of Nigeria’s role in promoting West African Institutions The study focuses on Nigeria’s relations with West African institutions such as the Lake Chad Basin Commission, the Gulf of Guinea Commission and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The authors consider in detail Nigeria’s national interests vis-à-vis West African institutions and Member States. To achieve the objective of the study, the authors pay particular attention to Nigeria’s bilateral relations with neighbouring States and cooperation with African institutions. The study is based on the theory of political realism, which implies constant competition among States defending their national interests. In the process of studying this problem, the authors apply institutional, analytical and problem-chronological methods. The main conclusions of the study are the establishment of Nigeria’s role in the settlement of border and territorial disputes, which enabled the state to interact and cooperate with its neighbours, the importance of Nigeria’s contribution to the peacekeeping of the region, Identifying the stability of Nigeria’s foreign policy towards both Africa as a whole and neighbouring States, analysing the main problems of the West African region, which is the basis of Nigeria’s subregional diplomacy: insecurity, political instability and economic imbalance. Moreover, the authors provide critical analysis of Nigeria’s institutional cooperation. The relevance of the study is due to the growing political and economic influence of Nigeria on the African continent.

Full textAbstract:
Since the year 2013, Nigeria’s northeastern region epicenter of the Boko Haram Islamist insurgency waging war for the establishment of an Islamic State has witnessed mass participation of people in a civil militia group. The militia group colloquially describing itself Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) was formed to combat the Boko Haram rebellion. Perhaps, the participation of the CJTF in the combating activities was reportedly influential in reducing the Boko Haram hostilities in most communities. Prior to the CJTF, the counterinsurgency approaches of the Nigerian governments’ Special Joint Task Force and the Multinational Joint Task Force of the Member States of Lake Chad Basin Commission was faced with lackadaisical performances. Whereas the CJTF was reportedly successful, however, the interrupted participation of the people despite the attendant human and material cost has risen suspicion among the population and the critical literature about the groups’ true motivation. This article, therefore, investigated the motivations of the CJTF in northeastern Nigeria. The study was conducted through a qualitative approach designed in a case study. The data was collected from thirteen informants from three groups - CJTF, Community Leaders and State/Local Government authorities. The technique of data collection is in-depth interviews and non-participant observation. The finding revealed personal incentive factors of monetary/material gains, and the futuristic interest of employability drives peoples’ participation. To address the economic interests of the CJTF and as a panacea to prevent the manifestation of the security threats associated with the CJTF group, the study recommends for the establishment of charity centers to receive contributions from well to do citizens to ameliorate the economic needs of the participants. The government should also propound strong legal mechanisms to regulate the activities of the CJTF militia.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This study explores two main questions: What are the experiences of soldiers who have fought against Boko Haram? What can these experiences teach us about the seeming incapacity of the Nigerian military to defeat Boko Haram? Six major themes are explored. These are perspectives on the mission, morale of troops, military equipment and weapons, suicide and murder–suicide among troops, intelligence leaks, and relationships of troops with the Civilian Joint Task Force, an extralegal militia. Soldiers’ discourses on the mission against Boko Haram reveal three overlapping dimensions. First, there are suspicions about the sponsors and political godfathers of Boko Haram. This suggests a belief that Boko Haram is a conspiracy involving the government and top brass of the military. Second, the patronage system involved in deployment into key positions on the war front. Third, participants believe that the war is being deliberately prolonged because it is a moneymaking machinery for the political and military elites. The evidence suggests that availability of weapons varies by unit and the agency of commanders—their networks and influence within the military and willingness to disobey orders from superiors if their demands are not met. This situation produces radically variegated wartime experiences among troops. Non-commissioned soldiers believe senior commissioned officers perpetrate intelligence leaks and are responsible for the protracted war. Senior Army Generals interviewed in this study support this perspective. The study has major policy implications for successful operations against Boko Haram in the Lake Chad Basin area and the broader war against terrorism in the Sahel.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides a basin-level analysis of climate shocks and conflict links, utilising livelihoods and vulnerability toolboxes, including a newly assembled conflict dataset that captures communal, rebel and water conflicts in four Lake Chad Basin (LCB) zones. The thesis draws on multi-method approaches to assess: (i) the manner in which lake drying shapes livelihood drawbacks and opportunities, (ii) the directionality of occupation-based vulnerability to double exposures, (iii) climate conflict interactions in the context of contextual vulnerability and lake drying, and (iv) adaptation-water-conflict integration need for the LCB. Key findings reveal that: (i) asset holdings from unstable water-based activities are a medium through which drying influences livelihoods, (ii) pastoralists are more vulnerable to double exposures because they have limited social networks and income strategies, (iii) rainfall anomalies have dampening effects on conflict and lake drying does not represent a sufficient mediator for climate conflict links. Effects of rainfall anomalies on conflict are more pronounced in the presence of political exclusion in the Chad and Nigeria zones which occupy large areas of the LCB, (iv) policy initiatives increasingly acknowledge the need to preserve the Lake waters, yet initiatives that explicitly integrate adaptation, water and conflict concerns are only beginning to emerge. Two new documents indicating integration have been developed between 2015 and 2016. This thesis is the first to develop a new set of integrated vulnerability tools for use in framing climate conflict vulnerabilities in water scarce environments. It provides a piece of empirically-rich understanding that suggests that climate conflict studies that fail to account for vulnerability forces risk a critical misrepresentation and misunderstanding. The results offer an empirical case to buttress the theoretical critiques already available in the literature. The thesis concludes by outlining recommendations and ways forward that better integrate LCB-related adaptation, water governance and conflict management goals.

Full textAbstract:
As a response to the generally perceived divide between the scientists and policy makers in decision making, this thesis seeks to bridge the gap between science and policy by framing the research questions based on the views expressed by policy makers. The thesis attempts to develop an approach for linking biophysical and social sciences research to support the use of scientific knowledge in decision making within the policy arena. Q methodology was used to derive discourses obtained from interviews with a range of stakeholders in government, non-governmental organizations, civil society, and academia in Cameroun. The aim was to reveal the different discourses in climate change in general and on the relationship between science and policy and how it can be applied in hydro – climatic research. Three different discourses emerged from the study. These highlighted concerns that water resources in the Sudano-Sahel zone of the country were vulnerable to climate change owing to past climate variability which could lead to food insecurity in Cameroun. The policy makers expressed the need for the scientists to conduct climate change impact studies on water resources in the region, stating that results from such studies could be useful for developing climate change adaptation policies. Results from the different homogeneity tests indicated that rainfall was homogenous across the Logone catchment during the period under study (1951 – 2000). A yearly trend analysis revealed the presence of statistically significant negative trends in annual rainfall time series at all stations across the catchment; while trend analysis using a monthly time-step revealed the presence of statistically insignificant positive trends at 32% of rain gauge stations. CMIP5 model validation against historical observations (1980 – 2005) indicated that the models were able to simulate the annual precipitation cycle in the LCB although some models overestimated precipitation during the dry season and underestimated during the rainy season. Furthermore, analysis revealed that by the middle of the century (2050 – 2075), future annual precipitation is projected to increase in the LCB by 2.5% and 5% while monsoon precipitation will decrease by 11.60% and 5.30% respectively under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios relative to the historical period. The uncertainty range for annual precipitation is about 12% and 17% for annual and monsoon precipitation respectively under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. Although the uncertainty range for future precipitation projections for most models and the reliability ensemble average (REA) mean lie within the range of natural climate variability, additional analysis are needed for results to be useful for any future planning to enhance water resources management in the study area. Hydrological modelling in the Logone catchment using the SWAT model indicated that by using different calibration techniques, it is possible to reveal differences in the hydrological behavior in the different parts of the catchment using different parameter values. Results of SPI and SSI analysis showed that both the Sudano and Sahelian zones of the catchment are equally prone to droughts and floods. However, the Sudano zone is more sensitive to drier conditions while the Sahelian zone is sensitive to wetter conditions. In this thesis, meeting the needs of the policy makers could not be achieved without gaining an understanding of the hydrological behaviour of the study area which is a pre-requisite for any such studies that involves the simulation of climate change impacts on water resources. Therefore, the hydrological modelling exercise and the different statistical analysis carried out in the context of this thesis were all aimed at developing a rich portfolio of peer reviewed information database which the policy makers will find useful to develop relevant climate change adaptation policies and also enhance the management of water resources in the region.

Philosophiae Doctor - PhDTransboundary river basins (TRBs), and its array of biodiversity, have created a web of complex security, socio-economic and political interdependencies among populations, communities and multiplicity of actors across the world. However, the continuous degradation of these vital resources, resulting from natural and anthropogenic factors, has serious implications for global development, peace and security. Indeed, it further threatens regional resource base, induce livelihoods impairment, scarcities and conflicts over the utilisation and control of strategic resources, particularly in the Global South. The study explored the causeeffect analysis of the desiccation of Lake Chad basin and the dreadful Boko Haram crisis within the prisms of human security and regional development. It reflects on the interconnections among environmental change, human development, livelihoods, conflicts and the outcomes of interventions - military and humanitarian in reconstructing human security and regional development narratives in the Lake Chad Basin. The research was contextualised within two theoretical frameworks: eco-violence, and the capability approach. This was conceived to provide an improved understanding of both the micro (individual or group interactions) and macro (large scale - national and multinational actors) development processes, the enablers and constraints of human security in the region. Their implications for regional development, security, sustainability and stabilisation process are also elucidated. Mixed-method research and a case study design was adopted to specifically study the Lake Chad impact area, covering 542,829 km2, across the four riparian countries - Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria. Although, the conventional or active basin of the lake - an estimated 984,455 km2 area was generally referenced. Purposive sampling was used to select participants for semi-structured interviews, focused group discussions (FGD) and document review. A total of 34 key informants, six (6) FGDs and 33 institutional documents (18 intervention and policy documents and 15 official bulletins) were utilised. These enable the substantiation of primary data with secondary data – qualitative and quantitative (derived from documents review). A thematic analysis of the causality of resource scarcities, livelihoods, and conflict relationships in the region was undertaken. This includes an assessment of the regional development process and the efficacies of security and humanitarian interventions in the Lake Chad Basin.The study revealed that the desiccation of Lake Chad and the destructive Boko Haram crisis (since 2009) impede development in the region. The lake’s shrinkage (estimated above 90percent from 1963 till date), caused by environmental change and unsustainable human practices or exploitation of the basin’s resources, have transboundary effects. These and the humanitarian catastrophes caused by Boko Haram menace have heightened human insecurity, and threaten communities’ fragility and transborder cooperation in the region. While regional development processes and intervention have marginal impacts on the population and their resilience capacities. Indeed, the complexity of the challenges overlaps with inconsistencies in the region’s development processes and the interventions regime – security and humanitarian management. Thus, addressing the consequences, while neglecting the root causes of human security threats in the Lake Chad Basin, further heightens the population’s deprivations amidst challenges of resource curse, geopolitics and its alteration of regional political economy. The above underscores the dialectics between human security and regional development. From these submissions, improved water resources and environmental management; inclusive development - to address the root causes of insecurity; monitoring and harnessing of national and regional development priorities; and integrated regional security-development strategy, against the military-led humanitarian approach, are recommended as critical solutions. These enhance a rethinking of human security and regional development matrix in the Lake Chad and other TRBs in the Global South. Therefore, the study highlighted the imperative of mediating exhaustive discourse on TRBs as Special Economic Zones (SEZ); constructive interactions between development processes and actors (stakeholders); the use of groundwater as a palliative; and the intrinsic mobility, multiactivity and multi-functionality of livelihoods in the Lake Chad Basin. These can be pondered in (future research and policy) discourses to enhance regional resilience, human security and sustainable development in the Lake Chad Basin.

Full textAbstract:
This project investigates applications of GIS and remote sensing to advance the hydrological understanding and improve the management of the water resources in large semi-arid regions. In the Lake Chad Basin, Africa, it is demonstrated how remotely sensed data can contribute significantly to a groundwater problem, something which historically has not often been achieved, particularly in semi-arid areas. In semi-arid areas, water is scarce and groundwater is often the only perennial resource available for the population. In the central part of Lake Chad Basin, this study focuses on the Quaternary aquifer which covers a vast surface area of 500,000 km 2 and provide most of the water used by human activities (Eberschweiler, 1993; FAO-Schroeter and Gear, 1973; UNESCO-PNUD-CBLT, 1972). So far, there are significant differences in the estimations of recharge and discharge phenomena of the Quaternary aquifer. Another scientific issue is the presence across the Quaternary aquifer of large piezometric depressions (Eberschweiler, 1992; FAO-Schroeter and Gear, 1973; Greigert, 1979; Schneider, 1969; Schneider and Wolff, 1992; UNESCO-PNUD-CBLT, 1972). Although, various theories about their formation and their mechanism have be raised (Aranyossy and Ndiaye, 1993; Dieng and Ledoux, 1987; Dieng et al., 1990; Durand, 1995), up to now little or no evidence has been gathered to confirm a particular explanation. An analysis of the basin's data shows that the use of GIS and appropriate remotely sensed data can greatly enhance the information currently available to hydrologists and hydrogeologists. The use of GIS and remote sensing to map groundwater recharge and discharge areas constitutes, in this kind of environment, a novel application. In the centre of the Lake Chad Basin, this approach has highlighted our knowledge of recharge and discharge processes, and it has enabled mapping major recharge and discharge areas. Among the outcomes, this approach has compiled, for the first time, evidence that the piezometric depressions correspond to very low infiltration areas. The fact that the rainfall recharge is considerably limited leads us to believe that evapotranspiration processes dominate the vertical exchanges, and that the piezometric depressions correspond to discharge areas. In the dunefields, a multitude of small discharge areas are revealed by vegetation indices, which show that the vegetation remains very active during the dry season. Such areas correspond to active oases, and were mapped in the Manga and at the border of the Harr and Kanem regions. Surprisingly, there are neither active oases, nor any tree layers, over the piezometric domes. One can deduce that the transpiration processes are lower than in the rest of the dunefield, and thus that the net recharge of the aquifer might be higher. Overall, throughout the Quaternary aquifer, surface characteristics (topography, soil permeability and vegetation) appear to have a strong influence on recharge and discharge processes. A groundwater model of the whole of the Quaternary aquifer was developed to explore novel applications of GIS and remote sensing in groundwater modelling. The model has allowed new knowledge of the aquifer system to be gained and has offered a first quantification of the groundwater reserves. The model's calibration in steady-state was first conducted independently of applications of CIS and remote sensing to map groundwater recharge and discharge areas. Outcomes clearly back up the information revealed with GIS and remote sensing. It was then possible to use remote sensing and GIS to improve the calibration of the model with a finer definition of recharge and discharge areas. The steady-state model has given information on the value and the distribution of long-term regional recharge and discharge. Rainfall recharge takes place in the dunefields, but appears to be small (less than 1 mm/yr in the Manga and less than 5 mm/yr in the centre of the Harr and Kanem). The model shows the necessity of representing the piezometric depressions as discharge areas. A good representation is obtained for a discharge rate below 3 mm/yr. The contribution from Lake Chad is very different from previous estimations and is thought to be less than 100E+06 mVyr (Carmouze, 1983; Isiorho, 1996; Roche, 1980). The model was then extended to a transient simulation from 1960 to 2000. Satellite archived data and GIS have allowed a comprehensive reconstruction of the fluctuations of the extent of Lake Chad. These data were implemented into the groundwater model in order to assess the impact of this major environmental change on the aquifer. This novel application, which makes an intensive use of remote sensing and GIS in the model, demonstrates the value of archive satellite data for long-term groundwater modelling. The model shows that the impact of the shrinkage of Lake Chad on the aquifer is limited in space to the Lake's region. It also reveals that the aquifer's reserves are threatened by the increase of the population in densely populated areas (Maiduguri, N'Djamena and "zone de concentration"). The drop of the water table in the dunefields could be related to a decrease of the rainfall recharge by more than 50%. Overall, the water budget of the aquifer is characterised by the endorheism of the system, with most of the outflows assured internally. Also, with regard to water resources management, the Quaternary aquifer offers a paradox: it is characterised by vast reserves, but a small renewable resource (recharge). It is, to the best of our knowledge, the first time that a large superficial aquifer of the Sahel has been modelled so thoroughly and understood as a whole. This study clearly illustrates the value of GIS and remotely sensed data in the hydrogeology of semi-arid areas. Successful applications of the Lake Chad Basin leads us to believe that in other semi-arid regions of the world, remote sensing and GIS could bring valuable assistance to hydrologists and hydrogeologists.

Full textAbstract:
La forte croissance démographique (~3%.an-1) observée au cours des dernières décennies en Afrique subsaharienne a engendré la conversion de grandes étendues de savane arborée en cultures pluviales ou irriguées et la diminution de la durée des jachères. Afin de déterminer l'impact de tels changements d'usage du sol sur la recharge des nappes phréatiques, la zone non saturée a été investiguée pendant trois ans (2009-2011) pour deux régions du Niger (sud-ouest et sud-est) aux conditions climatiques et géomorphologiques différentes.Une approche expérimentale in-situ a tout d'abord permis de caractériser qualitativement les propriétés de la zone non saturée et les flux hydriques associés (profondeur 0-10 m) pour les principaux usages du sol : savane naturelle ; jachère ; culture pluviale de mil ; et culture irriguée de poivron. Des profils granulométriques et de résistivité électrique apparente ont été réalisés et des suivis temporels de la teneur en eau et du potentiel matriciel du sol ont été mis en place. A partir des résultats et de la synthèse des données ainsi recueillies, deux analyses détaillées ont été proposées.Afin de quantifier le différentiel de recharge diffuse entre une jachère à Guiera senegalensis et une culture pluviale de mil (Pennisetum sp.) au sud-ouest Niger, une modélisation à base physique via le code Hydrus-1D a été appliquée. Dans un premier temps, une inversion basée sur la méthode GLUE a permis d'établir les densités de probabilité pour les paramètres hydrodynamiques de la zone non saturée ; dans un second temps, des simulations pluriannuelles (2 × 100 ans) du drainage profond (0-10 m) lors d'une transition jachère-mil ont été réalisées. Il a ainsi été montré que l'expansion des surfaces cultivées en mil pourrait se traduire par une augmentation du drainage profond, de 20 à 25 mm.an-1 après un délai de 35 à 60 ans.Afin d'étudier les conséquences des mises en culture pluviales et irriguées sur le potentiel de salinisation des sols et des eaux souterraines au sud-est Niger, les concentrations en ions majeurs dissous dans l'eau des pores de la zone non saturée ont été mesurées, puis comparées à la composition géochimique des apports d'eau associés (pluie, eau d'irrigation). Il a été ainsi mis en évidence que la mise en culture pluviale a un effet négligeable sur la qualité des eaux interstitielles et souterraines tandis que l'irrigation est associée à un enrichissement de l'eau de la zone non saturée en solutés qui pourrait induire, à terme, une salinisation de la nappe par lessivage des sols devenus salins/sodiquesIn semiarid sub-Saharan Africa, the rapid population growth (~3%.yr-1) during the past few decades has resulted in land clearing and large-scale conversion from savannah and fallow to rainfed or irrigation crop fields. The traditional duration of fallow has been also shortened. In order to estimate the impact of these land use changes on groundwater recharge, the vadose zone was investigated during three years (2009-2011) for two regions located in Niger (south-west and south-east).A qualitative analysis was first carried out for identifying vadose zone properties and for characterizing the corresponding water fluxes (0-10 m depth) for the main land use types: natural savannah; fallow; rainfed millet crop; and irrigated sweet pepper crop. Grain size and electrical resistivity profiles were established and soil water content and matric potential were monitored. Based on the results of this analysis, two more detailed investigations were performed.In southwestern Niger, in order to estimate changes in diffuse recharge from a fallow with Guiera senegalensis to a rainfed millet crop (Pennisetum sp.), a physically-based modeling with Hydrus-1D code was completed. Probability density functions were first built for the soil hydraulic parameters based on the GLUE approach; then, deep drainage (0-10 m depth) was simulated for a 2 × 100 year time-period including a fallow-millet conversion. It was shown that the increase in millet crop areas could result in an increase in deep drainage from 20 to 25 mm.yr-1 after a delay of 35 to 60 years.In southeastern Niger, in order to assess the impact of rainfed and irrigated cropping development on soil and groundwater salinization, major ion concentrations in pore water of the vadose zone were measured and compared with the geochemical composition of water inputs (rainfall, irrigation). It was shown that rainfed cropping does not affect soil water and groundwater quality whereas irrigation results in an increase of solutes concentrations in soil pore water, which could lead to a groundwater salinization at mid-term through soil leaching

Full textAbstract:
Le bassin endoréique du lac Tchad (BLT) couvre 2,5 millions de km2 au centre de la zone sahélienne. Le lac Tchad agit comme un amplificateur des variations climatiques sur le BLT tandis que le système aquifère multicouche contient d'importantes ressources en eau. La réponse hydro(géo)logique du BLT aux variations du climat est étudiée par un couplage entre traceurs géochimiques et modélisation. Un bilan hydrologique, chimique et isotopique permet de distinguer les flux d'évaporation, de transpiration et d'infiltration à la surface du lac. La transpiration, jusqu'alors négligée, contribue à environ 15% de l'ET. La dynamique du chlore dans le BLT suggère un temps de transfert dans le bassin amont autour de 10 ans, un renouvellement rapide des eaux du lac et une infiltration de 200 mm an-1. Le couplage d'un modèle pluie-débit (GR2M) et du modèle de lac, forcé par des simulations paléoclimatiques de GCM sur le dernier millénaire, montre la difficulté de la comparaison modèle-données dans les reconstitutions paléohydrologiques. La cartographie de la recharge moderne de l'aquifère quaternaire est obtenue par l'interprétation des teneurs en 36Cl thermonucléaire dans les eaux. Une recharge récente, proche des eaux de surface, est mise en évidence dans 60% de l'aquifère quaternaire et la reprise évaporatoire actuelle en bord du lac Tchad est évaluée entre 85 et 98%. Les eaux géochimiquement contrastées des dépressions piézométriques ne signent pas de recharge actuelle. La composition géochimique propre aux eaux du CT suggère un temps de résidence supérieur à 300 000 ans. Ces données originales pourraient servir à mieux contraindre la paléorecharge en zone sahélienneLake Chad Basin (LCB) is a 2.5 billion km2 closed drainage basin, in the center of Africa. Lake Chad enhances the climatic variations over the LCB while the multi-layers aquifer system contains large water resources. The hydro(geo)logical response of the LCB to climatic variability is studied by combining geochemical and modeling approaches. The lake Chad levels modeling, calibrated from hydrological, chemical and isotopic data, allows to disentangle evaporation from transpiration and from infiltration. Transpiration, neglected in previous studies, accounts for 15% of the total ET. From the chlorine dynamic in the LCB, a transit time of 10 yr in the upper basin, a short renewal rate of lake waters and their infiltration toward the aquifer are estimated. GCM paleoclimatic simulations over the last millennium were introduced into a rainfall-runoff model (GR2M) and the lake level model. It shows the difficulty to reconcile lake level records from paleohydrological modeling. The detection of thermonuclear 36Cl together with stable isotopic composition of groundwaters allow to draw the present-day recharge distribution in the Quaternary aquifer. Present-day recharge occurs close to surface waters in 60% of the groundwater sampled and an evaporation between 85 and 98% of waters in the surrounding of Lake Chad is estimated. Groundwaters with a contrasted geochemical signature are stored in the center of the piezometric depressions, suggesting no present-day recharge. The deep waters of the CT, with water ages of 300 000 yr, show geochemical patterns indicative of an old and humid recharge period. These original data give new insights into paleorecharge in the Sahelian band

Les ressources en eau du Sahel et du Sahara sont menacées par divers facteurs : sur-exploitation, augmentation démographique et changement climatique. Le bassin du lac Tchad situé au coeur de la zone sahélienne n'échappe pas à ces problématiques. L’objectif de ce travail est de comprendre le fonctionnement hydrologique de 3 grands systèmes lacustres de ce bassin ainsi que le fonctionnement des aquifères associés. Pour cela une approche géochimique a été mise en place en couplant l’analyse des isotopes stables de la molécule d’eau, du 36Cl et du 14C. L’étude des isotopes stables couplée à de l’imagerie spatiale a permis dans un premier temps d’établir un premier bilan hydrologique des lacs Iro et Fitri. Nous calculons des flux d’entrée et de sortie et montrons leur caractère « ouvert » avec un exutoire en surface ou souterrain. La recharge de leurs aquifères respectifs est plutôt récente : présence de 36Cl thermonucléaire dans les eaux souterraines. Les lacs Ounianga situés en milieu saharien forment des oasis alimentés uniquement par le système aquifère des grès de Nubie. Divisés en deux systèmes de lacs : Ounianga Kebir et Ounianga Serir, ils présentent des fonctionnements hydrologiques différents. Le système Serir fonctionne en chaîne de lacs avec une augmentation progressive de la salinité vers le lac central, alors que les lacs du système Kebir, fonctionnent plus ou moins indépendamment les uns des autres. Les données 36Cl n’indiquent pas de 36Cl thermonucléaire, ni de décroissance radioactive comme observé dans la partie égyptienne de l’aquifère des grès de Nubie. En revanche les données 14C ont permis de dater une recharge du système aquifère il y a 10 000 ansSurface water and groundwater are threatened all over the Sahel and the Sahara, because of ove- rexploitation, population growth and climate change that are limiting groundwater sustainable access. Lake Chad Basin, located in the middle of the Sahel zone, cannot avoid these problems.The aim of this work is to understand the hydrological functioning of three lake systems within the basin and the hydrogeological functioning of the associated aquifers with particular emphasis on the modern and past recharge. We have coupled information obtained from the stable isotopes of water, 36Cl and 14C.A first water budget has been calculated for the lakes Iro by coupling stables isotopes data with satellite imagery. We have calculated the influx and outflux and shown that these lakes are « open » i.e. with a surface or an underground outflux. The aquifer recharge is modern, since we observed thermonuclear 36Cl in the groundwater.The Ounianga Lakes are located in the Saharan part of the Lake Chad basin, where they form oasis systems fed by the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer. They are split into two distinct systems : Ounianga Kebir and Ounianga Serir with two different hydrologic functioning. The Serir part is a chain of lakes with an increasing salinity towards the central lake, while the lakes of the Kebir system are independent from each other. By contrast with Iro and Fitri, we did not observe thermonuclear 36Cl in these lakes and groundwaters. On the other hand, these samples do not show any evidence of radioactive decay of 36Cl as observed by previous studies in the Egyptian part of the aquifer. 14C data enabled us to estimate an age of recharge around 10 000 years ago

Full textAbstract:
Le choléra est une maladie diarrhéique aigue sévère causée par Vibrio cholerae, bactérie Gram négatif qui colonise les eaux de surface, chaudes, salines, alcalines, souvent en association avec le phyto ou le zooplancton. Après 50 ans d’introduction du choléra en Afrique, la maladie affecte de manière très forte les pays d'Afrique. Le travail de doctorat a eu pour objectif de tenter d’élucider les causes de l’endémicité du choléra en Afrique et à l’échelle d’un secteur du rift, le lac Kivu et la zone de santé de Katana, située en république démocratique du Congo.Une carte des espaces géographiques à risque a été élaborée pour le continent africain qui montre un plus grand nombre au niveau de la vallée du Rift et autour du bassin du lac Tchad. Cette première étude a mis en évidence la relation entre l’existence de masses d’eau salées (lagunes, lacs, cours d’eau) et l’endémicité de la maladie. Dans ces conditions environnementales, le risque cholérique est exacerbé dans les pays économiquement faibles, et instables. En Afrique continentale, l’étude a permis de montrer une bonne superposition entre les secteurs de forte activité volcano-tectonique (Vallée du Rift Africain, bassin du lac Tchad) et l’endémicité du choléra. L’étude de la dynamique du choléra dans une zone de santé de la vallée du Rift (province de Katana en RDC) a démontré que l'activité volcanique joue un grand rôle dans la survenue et le maintien des épidémies de choléra dans la vallée du Rift Africain. Ainsi, le travail a pu démontrer que l’activité volcano-tectonique (mesurée par la concentration en SO2 du panache de fumée du volcan Nyiragongo) régissait la température et la salinité des eaux du lac Kivu, et la présence du bacille dans l’eau du lac et les poissons. L’étude a pu montrer que la présence environnementale du bacille dans le lac était très fortement liée aux données épidémiologiques de la zone de Katana. Une étude portant sur les pratiques des habitants de Bukavu a pu démontrer que la contamination individuelle au choléra est liée à la manipulation et consommation des produits du lac (eau ou poissons).Ce travail de doctorat a permis de cibler des espaces à risque de choléra en Afrique, et l’impact de l’activité volcanique dans la dynamique du choléra en Afrique continentale, Ces informations sont nécessaires pour bâtir des stratégies efficaces et ciblés de lutte contre le choléra dans le continent Africain conformément à la feuille de route mondiale élaboré par le groupe de travail mondial sur la lutte contre le choléra en 2017Cholera is a severe acute diarrhoeal disease caused by Vibrio cholerae, a gram-negative bacterium that colonises warm, saline, alkaline surface waters, often in association with phytoplankton or zooplankton. After 50 years of introduction of cholera in Africa, the disease is affecting African countries in a very strong way. The objective of the PhD work was to try to elucidate the causes of cholera endemicity in Africa and on the scale of a rift sector, Lake Kivu and the Katana health zone, located in the Democratic Republic of Congo.A map of geographical areas at risk was drawn up for the African continent, showing a greater number in the Rift Valley and around the Lake Chad basin. This first study highlighted the relationship between the existence of salt water bodies (lagoons, lakes, rivers) and the endemicity of the disease. Under these environmental conditions, the cholera risk is exacerbated in economically weak and unstable countries. In continental Africa, the study showed a good overlap between areas of high volcano-tectonic activity (African Rift Valley, Lake Chad basin) and cholera endemicity. The study of cholera dynamics in a Rift Valley health zone (Katana province in DRC) demonstrated that volcanic activity plays a major role in the occurrence and maintenance of cholera epidemics in the African Rift Valley. The work showed that volcano-tectonic activity (measured by the SO2 concentration in the smoke plume of the Nyiragongo volcano) governed the temperature and salinity of the waters of Lake Kivu, and the presence of the bacillus in the lake water and fish. The study was able to show that the environmental presence of the bacillus in the lake was very strongly linked to the epidemiological data of the Katana area. A study of the practices of the inhabitants of Bukavu showed that individual contamination with cholera is linked to the handling and consumption of lake products (water or fish).This doctoral work has made it possible to target areas at risk of cholera in Africa, and the impact of volcanic activity in the dynamics of cholera in continental Africa. This information is necessary to build effective and targeted strategies to fight cholera in the African continent in accordance with the global roadmap developed by the Global Task Force on Cholera Control in 2017

Full textAbstract:
In fall 2017, the RESOLVE Network launched a major project to analyze religiosity on university campuses in the Lake Chad Basin. The project was related but not limited to the context of the Boko Haram insurgency. The project generated four major studies, including one research report based on a desk literature review and three country case studies (Nigeria, Cameroon, and Chad) based on original fieldwork. The project was driven by policymakers’ and researchers’ desire to more fully understand political and religious change in this conflict-affected region. This RESOLVE research project sought not merely to investigate questions of radicalization but also to challenge stereotypes, particularly the idea that campuses are inevitably hotbeds of religious extremism. It has been credibly asserted that some of Boko Haram’s recruits, particularly in its early phases in the 2000s, were university students. Yet universities in the region have also been sites where key peacemaking initiatives are both studied and implemented.

Full textAbstract:
In the countries of the Lake Chad Basin, Boko Haram’s emergence has created major new security challenges for the region’s governments. Cameroon’s Far North region, the most populous in the country, is at the heart of these security issues. Since late 2020, Boko Haram has intensified attacks in Far North localities with assassinations targeting civilians, kidnappings, and looting in small towns along the Nigerian border. In response, the Cameroonian government has pursued a hardline strategy and militarized the affected localities. In addition to arbitrary arrests, prolonged pre-trial detention, prison overcrowding, and the death penalty are all sources of concern. This policy note outlines core findings from a case study of the Boko Haram ex-associates reintegration process in Cameroon. The note examines how existing community norms or mechanisms might be as useful as more standard approaches to disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) in addressing challenges presented by Boko Haram ex-associates in Cameroon.

Full textAbstract:
This rapid literature review explores how approaches to stabilisation have varied by the donor, local context, and over time. While this paper was framed around a research question on the “Area Based Stabilisation” (ABS) approach, this term is barely used in the literature. Therefore, it is not possible to define an ABS approach or compare it to other approaches. However, there is considerable literature on approaches to stabilisation more generally, with some comparative analysis of approaches by donors and how these are evolving according to the context and some illustrative lessons from their application. As per the question from FCDO, this query also draws on analyses of the following case examples: Regional Strategy for the Stabilization, Recovery and Resilience (RSS) of the Boko Haram-affected areas of the Lake Chad Basin Region; Helmand Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) in Afghanistan; Area Based Recovery Approach (ABRA) in Iraq; and the Stabilisation Facility for Libya (SFL). As the Stabilisation Unit (2019) emphasises, as the purpose of engaging in stabilisation activities, and the political and conflict contexts, vary so much, it is only possible to draw out some generic/illustrative lessons across cases.
