Le Sahel face aux tendances Al Qaeda et Daech: Quel dénouement possible ?
January 5, 2017

Le paysage terroriste au Sahel se caractérise par une multiplicité d’acteurs qui déstabilisent les pays de la région. Malgré que chaque groupe terroriste possède des spécificités d’action et des zones d’influence propres à lui, il n’en demeure pas moins que deux grandes tendances idéologiques s’affrontent au Sahel. D’une part, Al Qaeda au Maghreb Islamique et d’autre part, l’organisation Etat islamique. Cependant, certains groupes continuent d’agir indépendamment des allégeances qu’ils ont prêtées en refusant de suivre les ordres de leurs leaders hiérarchiques. Face à cette complexité des acteurs terroristes qui sévissent dans le Sahel, ce Policy Brief se propose d’examiner la situation en levant le voile sur le système des allégeances, la relation entre les différents groupes, mais également, le jeu des acteurs étatiques dans leur lutte contre ces différentes nébuleuses.

Nearly 90% of this spending was by developed economies, with the rest by emerging market and developing eco ...

    His message was one of reassurance, just as a great leader has to react in a crisis. The concerns about Covid 19 was nothing but “a frenzy and psychosis”. The President knew the secret to defeat the virus: vodka, sauna, tractor. Didn’t a US president named Donald Trump suggest  that toilet cleaning disinfectants chase the virus out of infected lungs on national television? (New York Times, April 24, 2020) That was Trump-speak, sure, but the man who uttered the tractor/vodka/nonsense ...

    We examine the effects of trade on youth labor force participation and unemployment rates by performing fixed-effects and Arellano-Bond GMM estimations on data from 89 developing and emerging economies from 1990 to 2018. The empirical results suggest that trade openness has U-shaped effects on youth labor force participation rates, with negative impacts at low-to-moderate levels of trade and positive but minor effects at relatively high levels of trade. Except for Latin America, the ...

However, central banks realizing how important inclusion and climate change are is only the first step. As part of this process, they need to understand how to define Inclusiv ...
