    S'appuyant sur des décennies de recherche en biochimie, les bio-ingénieurs ont réussi à transférer des gènes d’une espèce à l’autre pour produire des organismes vivants (plantes et animaux, y compris les poissons) présentant les caractéristiques souhaitées. Contrairement à l’amélioration génétique qui est basée sur la sélection des traits souhaités au niveau des espèces à travers la reproduction traditionnelle, le processus de modification génétique aux laboratoires donne des résult ...

    Depuis la découverte des ressources pétrolières du Nigeria en 1956, le secteur pétrolier a progressivement revêtu une importance considérable, jusqu'à devenir le principal moteur de l'économie du pays : le pétrole brut est le premier poste d'exportations (figure 1) ainsi que le principal pourvoyeur en réserves de devises et de recettes fiscales pour le gouvernement fédéral nigérian (figure 2). Cependant, malgré son importance, le secteur pétrolier n'a pas élargi la base productive d ...

    The projections for United States GDP released by the Federal Reserve on March 17, pointed to a growth rate of 6.5% in 2021, well above December’s 4.2% forecast. Congressional approval of the Biden administration’s $1.9 trillion fiscal package and the vaccination march against COVID-19 explain the rise in the estimate. However, it should not be forgotten that growth in 2021 will follow a fall in GDP of 3.5% last year. While the expected unemployment rate at the end of 2021 is now 4 ...

    Tillabéri region of Niger is witnessing unprecedented level of ethnic-based violence. The January 2 massacre caught the national and international actors’ attention, however; the event was preventable. Accessing communities through ethnically charged and other exploitative language has proved to be a game changer for the expansion of violent extremist organizations (VEOs) expansion since 2012.
