Governments and navies need to work more closely together to protect merchant ships in the pirate-ridden Gulf of Guinea, security experts say. The comments come following a spate of piracy attacks off the West African coast, including the hijacking of a Dubai-owned oil-tanker, the MT Maximus on February 11.

Nigerian Naval forces clashed with gunmen after boarding the vessel off the Ivorian coast. During a shoot-out several of the pirates fled on the mother ship with two hostages from India and Pakistan.

The rise of terrorism has led to increased business opportunities for both local and international companies, an investigation by Nation Newsplex shows. In addition to small businesses that provide services for individual and businesses, multinational companies have set up in the country, eyeing security contracts for large-scale infrastructure, including ports and oil and gas operations.

Rob Andrew, a former colonel in the British Army, is the managing director of Olive Group East Africa, which provides security for oil and gas operations. When the Westgate Mall attack happened in 2013, the company, then known as Newport Africa, had to respond on what should have been a tranquil Saturday morning.

Like in the Balkans, the U.S. should get Iraq’s warring sides to the table at all costs. 

In the fall of 1995 Bosnia was on the edge, forced into a ceasefire after 3 years of some of the most vicious and inhumane sectarian warfare in history. Hatred between the Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats exceeded anything we’ve seen in Iraq or Afghanistan. United States officials warned Congress that any peace mission would likely cost thousands of American lives. Yet NATO’s stability operation in Bosnia succeeded. It ended the war, sustained long-term stability and did so with no casualties and a steady reduction in military forces.

Humanitarians and Private Security Companies: Time for Dialogue

By Jean S. Renouf — WELL AHEAD OF his time, Jean Marguin wrote, as early as 2000, “It is not out of the question to believe that the armed defence of most countries in the world, the missions of collective security entrusted to international organizations and the protection of NGOs’ humanitarian operations will one day be provided by private military - humanitarian multinationals”. We are not quite there yet, but we aren’t far off. While Blackwater recently proposed sending brigade-sized rapid reaction forces to support or replace peacekeepers in war zones, Pacific Architects and Engineers and Medical Support Solutions in fact did provide logistical support as well as medical services for the African Union in Sudan in 2002-2003.

by David Pfotenhauer — The unsubstantiated rumours of the private security company STTEP (Specialised Tasks, Training, Equipment and Protection International) being redeployed to Nigeria have yet to generate the furore that their initial deployment did in 2015. The earlier presence of STTEP prompted the South African government to label them as ‘mercenary’ in function and nature and therefore in contravention of existing domestic and international legal mechanisms. Other commentators took a broader view and characterised their arrival in northern Nigeria as a “logical step” (and as an act of desperation) following the poor performance of the Nigerian Defence Force (NDF) in their operations against Boko Haram.

Constellis, a leading provider of operational support and risk management services, announced today that Triple Canopy (a Constellis company) has been awarded a seven-year, multiple award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (MAIDIQ) Department of Defense (DoD) Counter Narcotics and Global Threats (CN&GT) contract by the Air Combat Command Acquisition Management and Integration Center (AMIC) for operations and logistics support services.

“Constellis is honored to support the DoD’s CN&GT mission by providing trusted operations and logistics services around the world,” said Jason DeYonker, CEO of Constellis. “This contract is critical in establishing a secure and stable global security environment for our customers to work and thrive, and we are proud to have an important role in ensuring their continuity of operations and success.”

CONTRACTOR SUPPORT OF U.S. OPERATIONS IN THE USCENTCOM AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY

BACKGROUND: This report updates DoD contractor personnel numbers in theater and outlines DoD efforts to improve management of contractors accompanying U.S. forces. It covers DoD contractor personnel deployed in Afghanistan (Operation Freedom’s Sentinel), Iraq (Operation Inherent Resolve), and the U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) area of responsibility (AOR).

KEY POINTS: In 1st quarter FY 2016, USCENTCOM reported approximately 43,781 contractor personnel working for the DoD in the USCENTCOM AOR. This total reflects a decrease of approximately 1K from the previous quarter. A breakdown of DoD contractor personnel is provided below

Understanding the preemptive role of the Defense Base Act (‘‘DBA’’) is crucial for any federal government contractor performing overseas work for the US military or federal departments or agencies. The DBA creates an exclusive workers compensation scheme providing disability and medical benefits and vocational rehabilitation to covered employees, and death benefits to eligible survivors of employees.

The DBA applies to employees of defense contractors working outside the US whose injuries or death arise out of the course of their employment. It is the exclusive remedy for such employees against their employers. In other words, contractor employees may not pursue state tort law claims or state workers’ compensation claims against their employer for injuries covered by the DBA. Defendant employers can and should move to dismiss state law tort claims by employees or former employees based on the DBA exclusivity.

Erik Prince, founder of the famed private military contractor Blackwater, addressed the Bush-linked Maverick PAC and his remarks, as transcribed by the Daily Beast, were provocative. He thought his old outfit could have handled the menace of the Islamic State effectively:

“It’s a shame the [Obama] administration crushed my old business, because as a private organization, we could’ve solved the boots-on-the-ground issue, we could have had contracts from people that want to go there as contractors; you don’t have the argument of U.S. active duty going back in there,” Prince said in an on-stage discussion featuring retired four-star Gen. James Conway. “[They could have] gone in there and done it, and be done, and not have a long, protracted political mess that I predict will ensue.”

Despite reports of the economy in Iraq rebounded after years of conflict the Iraqi dinar contractors brought back with them brought back with them during LOGCAP III & IV is pretty much worthless. According to some sources the Dinar has no chance of significant appreciation. The main reason is because of the political uncertainty — who would invest in the currency of a government that is still fighting a significant insurgency and might not be around the next year, any year? Second, and much more importantly, there are so many Dinars floating around that even if Iraq discovered the world’s largest gold mine tomorrow, the value of the Dinar would not significantly appreciate.
