What began as a confrontation centered on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and regional security posture has rapidly expanded into a geopolitical crisis with implications far beyond the Middle East, affecting global energy markets, maritime security, and the credibility of international diplomatic frameworks. The AGC Global Affairs Forum provides a platform for examining these dynamics with analytical depth and international perspective. The inaugural forum will situate the war on Iran within the wider transformation of global geopolitics and assess its implications for global stability and African strategic interests.
To help us unpack these critical issues, we will be joined by:
1. Dr. Mohammed Ibn Chamber - AU High Representative for Silencing the Guns
2. Professor David Shinn - Lecturer and Author, Elliot School of International Affairs, George Washington University
3. Dr. Victor Kofi Doke - Research Fellow / Lecturer, Kofi Annan Peacekeeping Training Centre
4. Professor Isaac Olawale Albert - Professor of African History, Peace and Conflict Studies at the Institute for Peace and Strategic Studies, University of Ibadan
5. Dr. Paa Kwesi Prah - Postdoctoral Fellow, Lingnan University
