Si le nombre absolu de cas d’infection à la COVID-19 est resté relativement faible en Afrique par rapport aux autres régions du monde, notamment l'Europe et l'Amérique du Nord, le virus n'en a pas moins menacé la stabilité des Etats, en exacerbant les insécurités individuelles et sociétales. Dans ce podcast, Salma Daoudi, Assistante de recherche en Relations internationales au Policy Center for the New South, explique comment les corollaires politiques, économiques, sociaux et sanitaires de la pandémie ont profondément alimenté les inégalités, et comment celles-ci risquent d'alimenter cette nouvelle tempête d'insécurités humaines, en permettant l’émergence de nouvelles formes de violence à l'encontre des populations africaines.

    Due to historical as well as geographical reasons, India and East Africa have long been close partners. In the recent period however, and even more so since the early 2000s, these ties have tightened as a result of combined efforts by the government of India and its business community. The presence of communities of Indian origin in several East African countries has also acted as a catalyst. East Africa is perceived as a valuable partner both by Indian authorities and by Indian pr ...

A number of countries in Europe succeeded in vaccinating most of their eligible populations, enabling life to return somewhat to normal. A smaller group of countries in Europe could manage infection rates even more ti ...
