Research Profile

I am interested in the societal impacts of armed conflicts, security politics and reforms in countries/regions battling with the scene of continuous violent conflicts. I often combine ethnographic approach with other social empirical methods to understand conflict dynamics and system, civilian interaction with NSAGs and the state’s tactical and strategic approaches to a complex security landscape. In my current role at BICC, I collaborate with regional and multilateral actors (AU, UN-DPO, LCBC) and local research institutions to understand and provide concrete policy recommendations on how regional approaches to dealing with armed conflicts in the Lake Chad Basin region shapes systems of conflict/peace and how NSAGs contribute this system or are affected by them.
