A la question de savoir qui a gagné les élections du 8 mai en Afrique du Sud, une seule réponse s’impose : L’ANC. Cette réponse suppose qu’il y a un perdant et conduit, donc, à une deuxième question : Qui a perdu les élections de Mai 2019 en Afrique du Sud ? Aussi étonnant que cela puisse paraitre, la réponse est, là aussi, l’ANC.  L’ANC a gagné, mais il est toujours mal en point En Effet, le parti cher à Mandela a gagné les élections, mais a perdu en audience et en confiance. Des ...

Adopting an integrated approach to the management and governance of natural resources including land, water and energy is seen as an effective way to improve the sphere of production while respecting the environment. Fatima Ezzahra Mengoub, economist at the Policy Center for the New South, was invited by Stockholm Environment Institute, alongside other prestigious research centers with expertise in environmental studies, to co-author this research paper and share her analysis of th ...

Riyad et Abou Dhabi s'inquiètent de la crise politique et institutionnelle à Khartoum. Appelant à la "stabilité" et à une "transition pacifique", ils surveillent de très près la situation. Entre temps, la Turquie et le Qatar, qui soutiennent les Frères musulmans, restent en retrait. Le Soudan joue un rôle clé pour Riyad et ses alliés, tant dans la lutte contre les Houthis, au Yémen, que dans leur politique d'endiguement vis-à-vis de l'Iran, principal ennemi de l'Arabie Saoudite au M ...

In Japan, the new Emperor Naruhito 徳仁 was inaugurated last week as a successor to his father Emperor Akihito明仁, who decided to abdicate about two years ago in favour of his son for health reasons. The Japanese people have welcomed the event with mixed feelings, the joy of the enthronement of the young emperor Emperor Naruhito, mixed with despair for missing the warmth and sympathy of Emperor Akihito, whose popularity with the Empress Michiko was characterized by being the couple wh ...

« Anything in this very interesting world is possible, but I believe that Kim Jong –un fully realizes the great economic potential of North Korea &will do nothing to interfere or end it .He also knows that I am with him &does not want to break his promise to me. A deal will happen. » (Donald Trump, twitter, 3.42 pm, may 4, 2019) The hat was black and already fashionable during murderous days of Adolf Hitler, Nazi-Germany’s dictator. The bizarre leader of North Korea had to ...

Reform and Opening-up profoundly altered the face of China. From an agricultural backwards country, which had suffered humiliation by Western powers and Japan in the 19thand early 20th century, to the largest economy in the world in Purchasing Power Parity terms, the Chinese saga for reinsertion into the global scene is not a miracle. It is the result of hard work, visionary leadership and the wise use of its most widely available commodity: its hard-working people. Of course, there ...

A quelques heures des élections générales en Afrique du Sud, je ne peux m’empêcher, comme à mon habitude, de me jeter à l’eau en tentant un pronostic. Je ne pourrais me vanter d’inventer la roue en avançant que le Congrès national africain (ANC) gagnerait ces élections et que le président Cyril Ramaphosa continuerait à présider aux destinées du pays au lendemain du 8 mai prochain. L’issue du match n’étant donc pas une inconnue à prophétiser, je pousse le défi à un pronostic sur le ...

Looked at from afar, the most amazing thing about the ongoing election in India may be the numbers involved.

The first phase of polling was held on April 11 and the concluding one will be on May 19. The votes will be counted on May 2 ...

France appears to be relying on force to patch up problems in Africa, and particularly in Libya. None of this is compatible with President Macron’s lofty foreign policy declarations. French President Emmanuel Macron has classified colonisation as a crime against humanity. He is also keen to redefine the relationship with former French colonies. But in practice, there has never been a more ‘let’s go to war’ or ‘va t-en guerre’ attitude, in terms of its hopes for involvement in inter ...
