Keynote Address by Daniel Mminele, Deputy Governor of the South African Reserve Bank, at the T-20 Africa Conference
Keynote address by Daniel Mminele, Deputy Governor of the South African Reserve Bank, at the T-20 Africa Conference Crowne Plaza Hotel, Johannesburg 1 February 2017 Africa and the G-20: some implications for the work of the T-20 1. Introduction Good evening, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. I would like to thank the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) and the Germany co-chairs of the T-201, namely the German Development Institute and the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IFW Kiel), for the kind invitation to address you this evening. The Think Tank 20 was initiated during the Mexican presidency of the G-202 in 2012 as a collaborative network of premier think tanks from the G-20 economies and other high-level experts. The aim of the T-20 is to provide analytical depth to G-20 discussions so as to assist in developing concrete and sustainable research based policy measures. Think tanks and academics from the G-20 countries have indeed made important contributions in the past to the G-20 dialogue via the T-20 forum. Events such as this conference serve to reinforce this view and showcase the work being undertaken by the T-20. Dennis Snower, President of the IFW Kiel, summarised the work of the T-20 for this year aptly when he said: “In 2017, the T-20 aims to 1 The ‘T-20’ is the Think Tank 20, the ‘ideas bank’ of the Group of Twenty (G-20). 2 Group of Twenty Page 1 of 10 support the German G-20 presidency in rising to the diverse but interconnected global challenges that the G-20 faces.” Judging by the impressive conference programme, you must have had a fruitful day. -

Maldives: Extremism and Terrorism
Maldives: Extremism and Terrorism On May 6, 2021, an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated outside of the Malé home of former President Mohamed Nasheed. Nasheed and four others, including a British national, were injured in the attack. On May 7, Maldivian police reported that Islamic extremists were responsible for the attack. The police suspect four individuals were behind the attack, having arrested three of the four suspects by May 9. Nasheed, the first democratically elected president of the Maldives and who is current the speaker of Parliament, has been an outspoken critic of religious extremism. Investigators have not yet determined which group was responsible for the attack. (Sources: Associated Press, Associated Press, Al Jazeera) On April 20, 2020, ISIS published a letter in their third issue of Voice of Hind magazine calling on Maldivians to join the jihad and to carry out extremist acts in the Maldives and India. The letter was in response to an ISIS-claimed attack on the Mahibadhoo harbor a few days prior. (Sources: Small Wars Journal, Middle East Media Research Institute) On April 17, 2020, five bombs detonated at Mahibadhoo harbor, destroying a sea ambulance, four speedboats, and two dinghies. ISIS quickly claimed responsibility for the attack via its weekly Arabic-language newsletter, al-Naba, claiming the boats belonged to the “apostate Maldivian Government and its loyalists.” The attack was the first to be carried out by ISIS in the Maldives. Earlier this year on February 4, a group of ISIS- inspired assailants stabbed and injured three foreign nationals near the Hulhumale Redbull Park Fustal Ground in North Male Atoll. -
