في ضوء المؤتمر السنوي للسلم والأمن بإفريقيا حول إعادة الإعمار بعد الصراع في أفريقيا

عرفت السنوات الأخيرة اضطرابات جيوسياسية واقتصادية على المستوى العالمي. ومع تزايد زخم الأحداث، دخل العالم فترة تحول جيوسياسي واقتصادي تعلن نهاية دورة تاريخية وتُنبِّؤ بآفاق غير مؤكدة لدورة جديدة. وعليه، فإننا أمام تغير عالمي حقيقي ينطوي على نقاط ضغط متعددة وقوىً دافعة التي من المرجح أن تتأثر بها القارة الإفريقية بدرجات متفاوتة، حيث إنها اتبعت على مر العقدين الماضيين عملية تنويع في الشراكات الاقتصادية والسياسية والعسكرية على مستوى الدولة والمؤسسات، سواء على الصعيدين القاري أو الإقليمي خاصة في إطار إعادة الإعمار بعد الصراع. والحال أن الأوضاع الاقتصادية العالمية إلى جانب التحديات البنيوية لإفريقيا يفاقمان من التوجهات الأساسية ذات النتائج الجيوسياسية الحتمية. فكيف تتحدّد معالم مشهد ما بعد الصراع في كل دولة بالنظر إلى التحالفات والتنافسات التي تنطوي عليها النزاعات في أفريقيا علما أن هذه العلاقات المتداخلة قد تقدّم منظورًا متعدّد الأبعاد يمكن من خلاله فهم العلاقة القائمة بين إعادة الإعمار بعد الحرب وموازين القوى الإقليمية؟ إلى أي حد تقترن عملية الإعمار بعد الصراع بالعملية السياسية التي تتيح إعادة توزيع الخسائر والأرباح في إطار الاصلاحات؟ ثم كيف يمكن قراءة التحالفات والشركات الجديدة في القارة في ظل الواقع الإقليمي والدولي الراهن حيث لا يمكن إطلاق أي عملية سياسية أو تحقيق استدامتها من دون انخراط دول خارجية وجهات غير تابعة للدولة، بشكل مباشر من خلال الوساطة والتحكيم مثلًا، أو بشكل غير مباشر، من خلال حلفائها أو وكلائها المحليين؟

    Almost ten years after the beginning of the security crisis in the Sahel, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger face a graver predicament than ever before. In the throes of multiple insurgencies, they and their foreign patrons, including France, have shown the limits of military containment. While these three countries are the victims of terrorist aggression, their crises also have deep domestic roots, including long-standing patterns of state abuses of their populations, even in the more d ...

    It has been more than 100 years since Germany manifested colonial power, a dark period of history indeed. Political and military leaders, supported by its ruler, Wilhelm II, Emperor of Germany and King of Prussia, committed crimes against humanity on African land.  The first genocide of the 20th Century, mass killings of 65 000 Herero in Africa, today known as Namibia. Between 1904 and 1908, Germany suffocated humanity in concentration camps like Shark Island, forcing them into dead ...

    The proliferation of community-based armed groups (CBAGs) in Mali’s Mopti and Ségou Regions has contributed to transforming Central Mali into a regional epicenter of conflict since 2016. Due to the lack of adequate presence of the state, certain vulnerable, conflict-affected communities resorted to embracing non-state armed groups as security umbrellas in the context of inter-communal violence. These local conflicts are the result of long-standing issues over increasing pressure on ...

    Près de trois ans après l’éviction d’el-Béchir du pouvoir et la formation d’un gouvernement de transition, composé de civils et de militaires, la situation politique et économique du Soudan est loin d’être stable. Bien que des progrès aient été enregistrés depuis décembre 2018, la transition démocratique a été interrompue brutalement suite à la prise du pouvoir par le général al-Burhan et sa décision de dissoudre le gouvernement civil. Malgré le climat d’instabilité et d’incertitude ...
