Obangame<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Express 2021, the largest multinational maritime exercise in Western Africa, ended its 10th iteration with a celebratory closing ceremony in Accra, Ghana, March 27, 2021.\u202f<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cCongratulations on the completion of a successful exercise,\u201d said U.S. Ambassador to Ghana,<\/strong> Ms. Stephanie Sullivan<\/strong>. \u201cYour efforts will have a lasting positive effect in improving regional cooperation and information sharing among participating nations.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The exercise focused on\u00a0<\/span>the collective<\/span>\u00a0capabilities for countering the trafficking of illegal arms and drugs, human trafficking, illegal migration, piracy, and illegal fishing.\u00a0<\/span>There\u00a0<\/span>was<\/span>\u00a0partner nation collaboration efforts<\/span>\u00a0in support of the Yaound\u00e9 Code of Conduct, adherence to the rule of law<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>in\u00a0<\/span>strengthening safety and security in the Gulf of Guinea and coastal areas in the West.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cAmid the challenges imposed by the global coronavirus pandemic, states along the Gulf of Guinea<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0together with their international partners<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0are still poised and willing to come together to fight the menace of maritime crime and incidents,\u201d\u00a0<\/span>said<\/span>\u00a0guest of honor<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>Adm. Seth\u00a0<\/span>Amoama<\/span>, Chief of the Defen<\/span>s<\/span>e Staff, Ghana Armed Forces<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u201c<\/span>This stems from the fact that\u00a0<\/span>i<\/span>n recent times<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0there has been an increase in the number of vessels operating within the Gulf of Guinea region, bringing with it a commensurate increase in maritime incidents.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Last year\u2019s exercise was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, to accommodate the unique challenges of the pandemic, some events were held virtually. The first-ever OE21<\/span>\u00a0Virtual Pandemic Preparation and Response Engagement\u00a0<\/span>offered an opportunity for top medical experts from African nations, the United States and the United Kingdom, to share lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI wish to end by once again expressing my gratitude to the United States Africa Command for their continuous assistance and varied contributions to improving maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea,\u201d\u00a0<\/span>Amoama<\/span>\u00a0said.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cMy sincere appreciation also goes to the governments of all the participating countries for committing time and resources to make this exercise a great success.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Activities took place across five exercise zones in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Guinea that stretch from Senegal to Angola, and across the Economic Community of West African States and Economic Community of Central African States nations.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLet me close by simply saying how proud I am, and how proud the U.S. Navy is, to call itself a partner to the navies and coast guards of Atlantic Africa and to our broader Atlantic partners in Europe and the Americas,\u201d said Rear Adm. Jeffrey S. Spivey, director, maritime partnership program, U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa<\/strong>. \u201cMay we continue to further the region\u2019s capacity to secure and protect its maritime domain through cooperation and togetherness.\u201d\u202f\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The 32 nations who participated in\u00a0<\/span>O<\/span>bangame<\/span>\u00a0Express<\/span>\u00a0included Angola, Belgium, Benin, Brazil, Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Cote d\u2019Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Denmark, Equatorial Guinea, France, Gabon, Gambia, Germany, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Italy, Liberia, Morocco, Namibia, The Netherlands, Nigeria,\u00a0<\/span>Poland,\u00a0<\/span>Portugal, Republic of Congo, Sao Tome & Principe, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Spain, Togo, and the United States. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) also participated.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
