Growing geopolitical uncertainty, piracy, transnational maritime crime and emerging technological threats demand stronger African-led security cooperation to safeguard strategic sea lanes, maritime trade and continental economic interests.
The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), through the Kenya Navy, reinforced Kenya’s commitment to collective maritime security during the inaugural African Maritime Security Forum held at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) in Accra, Ghana, from 14 to 15 October 2026.
Representing Kenya was Deputy Commander Kenya Navy, Brigadier John Sankale Kiswaa, who joined senior naval leaders, security experts and international partners in deliberations under the theme, “The African Maritime Landscape in Times of Geopolitical Uncertainty in 2026 and Beyond.”
