The French Navy and Yaoundé Architecture have reviewed the pirate attack that took place early this year on board the Danish tanker Monjasa Reformer in Congolese waters. The move came up at the just concluded Main Planning Conference (MPC) for Grand African Nemo 2023 held in Châtenay-en-France, France. Also present were representatives of Yaoundé Architecture and the 19 navies bordering the Gulf of Guinea (GoG) as well as several regional, European and international partners. The French Navy and Yaoundé Architecture have also entered into plans to host the Grand African NEMO 2023 in the Eastern Gulf of Guinea from 10 to 15 October 2023. The Grand African NEMO is an international operational cooperation exercise designed to assist, develop and strengthen maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea by supporting the Yaoundé Process.
