حديث الثلاثاء: منطقة حوض بحيرة تشاد أمام تحديات مركبة ومتشابكة

July 12, 2022

يخصص مركز السياسات من أجل الجنوب الجديد حلقة برنامجه الأسبوعي "حديث الثلاثاء" لمناقشة أهم التحديات التي تواجهها منطقة حوض بحيرة التشاد مع خالد شكراوي، باحث بارز بمركز السياسات من أجل الجنوب الجديد.

في شمال منطقة وسط إفريقيا، وتحديداً في بحيرة تشاد التي تعتبر ذات أهمية اقتصادية، حيث يكمن مورد الرزق الأساس لنحو 30 مليون شخص من مجموعات إثنية وعرقية مختلفة يعيشون في البلدان الأربعة المحيطة بها (تشاد والكاميرون والنيجر ونيجيريا). تَعتبر هذه البحيرة إرثاً طبيعياً مشتركاً لا تحتكره دولة دون أخرى، ولم يُعترف فيه بالحدود السياسية حتى وقت قريب. شيئاً فشيئاً، بدأت هذه البحيرة تتحول إلى مرتع للجماعات الإرهابية وعملياتها

أزمة بحيرة تشاد مركبة ومتشابكة للغاية لكونها تواجه تحديات تتداخل فيها كل من العوامل البيئية مع نظيرتها السياسية والاثنية وكدلك الاقتصادية والاجتماعية والامنية، وهدا التداخل يجعل محيط البحيرة نقطة أزمات وتحديات تأثر على معظم دول وسط إفريقيا، غرب افريقيا ومنطقة الساحل والصحراء. 

نعود خلال هاته الحلقة إلى مناقشة أهمية البحيرة للدول المجاورة وكدى التحديات التي تعيشها منطقة حوض بحيرة تشاد وآثارها على محيط كبير من دول المنطقة بشكل مباشر وغير مباشر، أسئلة وغيرها نناقشها مع خالد شكراوي، باحث بارز بمركز السياسات من أجل الجنوب الجديد.

    This paper analyzes the future of migrations related to climate changes and environment degradations. He shows how the dominant public reasoning remains inappropriate for addressing these issues, because of the Western/Northern countries' misconception of the relation between migration and environmental changes, including the cultural and political biases these countries show in the solutions they propose. The discrepancy between public policies and the actual reality of climatic an ...

    La montée en puissance de la Chine et de l’Inde domine les débats économiques depuis quelques années déjà. Poursuivant une stratégie d’internationalisation résolue, les entreprises chinoises et indiennes sont désormais présentes dans bon nombre de régions du globe. Ce dynamisme n’a pas manqué de susciter des inquiétudes mais aussi des espoirs, notamment dans le monde en développement, où ces deux pays sont perçus comme des partenaires potentiellement plus bienveillants que les pays ...

Therefore the American action in this region was in line with a mechanism previously set off by Clinton Administration member, Stuart Eizenstat, which aimed at reducing intra regional obstacles and stimulating American investments towards an area where Americans were little-represented.

    The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is a regional organization which was created in 1981, reassembling six Arab countries together: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Thanks to their oil income, GCC countries have enjoyed economic boom since 2002, hence breaking with the 1990s economic slow-down. The year 2002 corresponds to the oil prices’ entry in an upward spiral which has resulted in an increase of both income and foreign assets. This ...

    The industrial revolution underwent by Europe in the 18th century has triggered the need for the major colonial powers to find new markets for their manufactured products. It is in this colonial competitive framework that European explorers delivered information about the different access roads, as well as the Tuareg tribes, notably the Kel Ajjer and the Kel Ahaggar. ...

The security dynamics of the Maghreb and the Sahel are intertwined and the consequences of the Libyan conflict on the Sahel have been serious. Since its beginning in 2011, this conflict has triggered global concern about the economic, security, and geostrategic impacts on the Sahel. Current threats are posed by the illicit transfer, destabilizing accumulation, and misuse of arms, as well as the flow of armed groups and mercenaries. Despite considerable international efforts, especially by African countries, the Sahel is still experiencing one of the ...
