West African Nations Strengthen Maritime Security Through Exercise Grand African Nemo

West African nations, in collaboration with international partners, recently conducted Exercise Grand African Nemo, a significant initiative aimed at bolstering cooperation to combat maritime crime in the Gulf of Guinea. This extensive exercise brought together regional naval forces to address various security threats across an impressive expanse of 5,700 kilometers (3,540 miles) of maritime territory, stretching from Senegal down to Angola.

The exercise involved a large-scale deployment of naval forces and assets from an impressive total of 28 nations, including representatives from all countries bordering the Gulf of Guinea. Participants contributed 55 naval units, 12 aircraft, and a vast array of specialized maritime personnel, all working together to enhance security operations in the region.

During the drills, military staff engaged in a series of simulated scenarios focused on improving responses to critical issues such as piracy, smuggling, and illegal fishing. These activities aimed to refine the capabilities of the involved forces and build a robust framework for cooperation among the various nations.

Ghanaโ€™s Chief of the Naval Staff, Issah Adam Yakubu, highlighted the collaborative benefits of the drills, emphasizing the importance of effective information-sharing, interoperability, and trust-building among the regional players. He specifically noted the focus on securing the waters in the Gulf of Guinea, particularly the Zone F maritime space that encompasses the waters between Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Cรดte dโ€™Ivoire, and Ghana.

The exercise forms part of a broader maritime security strategy established by the Yaoundรฉ Architecture, an interregional maritime security mechanism aimed at safeguarding the Gulf of Guinea. This strategic framework was conceived in 2013, when leaders from the Economic Community of West and Central African States and the Gulf of Guinea Commission convened in Cameroon to formulate a unified regional strategy to tackle illicit activities along the West African coast of the Atlantic Ocean.

As part of this plan, the maritime area has been segmented into five operational zones, with coordination being managed through five Maritime Multinational Coordination Centres. This structured approach aims to streamline efforts against various maritime threats, underlining the commitment of West African nations and their international partners to ensure the safety and security of their significant maritime resources.
