Hello and welcome back to the weekly agenda analysis podcast on Libya, Sudan, and Somalia, brought to you by the ORSAM North and East Africa Studies Coordination Department under the ‘Crisis Compass’ program. I’m Hasna Jebel Abagero, and in today’s episode, we will review the key political, military, and diplomatic developments in Libya, Sudan, and Somalia for the week of August 17–23, 2025.
Our analysis will address each country through the lenses of electoral dynamics, relations with armed groups, foreign involvement, and institutional capacity, and assess how these factors collectively influence the regional security architecture within a broader strategic framework.
