Institute for Security Studies

The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) is not directly mentioned in the provided articles, but the topics covered are central to its mission. The ISS is a pan-African organization that conducts research and analysis on human security issues in Africa. It aims to inform policy and practice to improve peace, security, and governance. The articles highlight several areas of concern the ISS would likely address: environmental security threats from illegal wildlife trade (ants in East Africa), internal security challenges in Nigeria (attacks and abductions), and regional stability concerns related to political and military leadership in Uganda. These events underscore the ongoing security complexities across the continent, making the work of organizations like the ISS crucial for understanding and addressing these challenges through informed research and policy recommendations.
