In this episode, we explore the stability concerns facing East Africa and the Horn, featuring insights from Matt Bryden and Hutch. Matt shares his 35 years of experience, from serving in the Canadian Armed Forces to leading the UN Sanctions Monitoring Team, and now heading SAHAN, which advises governments on conflict and post-conflict challenges.
Hutch, a geomarket partner at Control Risks, offers his expertise in risk management, particularly in fragile states. Drawing from his background in military operations and crisis management, he emphasizes the need for businesses to understand the local context and build relationships to ensure success in these environments.
We discuss the challenges of operating in conflict zones, the importance of security and rule of law for investment, and the evolving dynamics of international relations in Africa.
