In this new episode of AfriCan Geopardy, we receive our guest of the month, Dr. Dirk Siebels to talk about maritime security in Africa. Who hasn't heard about piracy in the horn of Africa, or around the Niger Delta? While many think maritime security could be summarized to that, in reality there is no generally agreed upon definition for maritime security. We define it as the absence of threat -- threats to seafarers, including fisherfolks and anyone that depends on the marine environment for livelihoods; threats to the state from other state and non-state actors. The maritime domain captures adequately, the interconnectedness of the human and national security discourse in that security threat at sea have implications for the security of the state and the people who depend on the marine environment for subsistence. In this Episode, Dr. Siebels talks about his new book: Maritime Security in West and East Africa: a tale of two regions, available at: https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783030226879
