WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 5-6:30 p.m.

Lecture by Roland Marchal, moderated by Professor Ousmane Kane

While up to the late 1990s, the Somali crisis had been managed as a fundamentally humanitarian crisis, post-9/11 events and the Global War on Terror have reshaped the conflict into a more transnational and international narrative.

Roland Marchal is a senior research fellow at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). His research focuses on armed conflicts and power politics in Africa.

Ousmane Kane is Professor of Political Science at Columbia.

Event co-sponsored by the Institute of African Studies and the Alliance Program
