Le partenariat pour la mobilité Union européenne – Mauritanie : Enjeux et perspectives

24
May 2024
Majda Belkheiri et Amal El Ouassif

En mars 2024, la Commission européenne a lancé à Bruxelles, la conclusion d’un partenariat inédit avec la Mauritanie. Les principes directeurs de cet accord, qui intervient peu de temps après l’adoption du pacte européen sur les migrations et l'asile, mettent en avant les notions de solidarité et de responsabilité partagée. Cependant, cette démarche soulève des questions sur la cohérence de l'Union européenne dans son discours sur la migration et les réfugiés. La question se pose donc : l'UE applique-t-elle réellement les mêmes principes de solidarité et de responsabilité partagée dans ses politiques migratoires, ou s'agit-il d'une stratégie pour externaliser les mesures communautaires vers les pays partenaires ? Pour y répondre, nous interrogeons Amal El Ouassif, spécialiste sénior en question migratoires et relations internationales au Policy Center for the New South.

    There has been a flurry of activity in the Horn of Africa recently, where decades-old political disputes have suddenly been put to rest. The resulting changes have shattered the status quo in the region, putting the Horn on a new path where state-to-state relations are no longer marked by regional competition and frozen borders. While this has undoubtedly been a positive development for the region, one big piece of the puzzle has been the role of external actors in the process, and ...

    The African Union goes to Mauritania Under the theme “Winning the Fight Against Corruption”, the 31st Summit of the African Union was held in early July in the desert capital Nouakchott. In a bitter prelude in late June, the AU’s commitment to this central theme was dealt a blow with the sudden – and public – resignation of Ghana’s Daniel Batidam from the AU Advisory Board on Corruption. Off to a rocky start, the summit had an even rougher road ahead of it.  A month before the lau ...
