حديث الثلاثاء: منطقة حوض بحيرة تشاد أمام تحديات مركبة ومتشابكة

July 12, 2022

يخصص مركز السياسات من أجل الجنوب الجديد حلقة برنامجه الأسبوعي "حديث الثلاثاء" لمناقشة أهم التحديات التي تواجهها منطقة حوض بحيرة التشاد مع خالد شكراوي، باحث بارز بمركز السياسات من أجل الجنوب الجديد.

في شمال منطقة وسط إفريقيا، وتحديداً في بحيرة تشاد التي تعتبر ذات أهمية اقتصادية، حيث يكمن مورد الرزق الأساس لنحو 30 مليون شخص من مجموعات إثنية وعرقية مختلفة يعيشون في البلدان الأربعة المحيطة بها (تشاد والكاميرون والنيجر ونيجيريا). تَعتبر هذه البحيرة إرثاً طبيعياً مشتركاً لا تحتكره دولة دون أخرى، ولم يُعترف فيه بالحدود السياسية حتى وقت قريب. شيئاً فشيئاً، بدأت هذه البحيرة تتحول إلى مرتع للجماعات الإرهابية وعملياتها

أزمة بحيرة تشاد مركبة ومتشابكة للغاية لكونها تواجه تحديات تتداخل فيها كل من العوامل البيئية مع نظيرتها السياسية والاثنية وكدلك الاقتصادية والاجتماعية والامنية، وهدا التداخل يجعل محيط البحيرة نقطة أزمات وتحديات تأثر على معظم دول وسط إفريقيا، غرب افريقيا ومنطقة الساحل والصحراء. 

نعود خلال هاته الحلقة إلى مناقشة أهمية البحيرة للدول المجاورة وكدى التحديات التي تعيشها منطقة حوض بحيرة تشاد وآثارها على محيط كبير من دول المنطقة بشكل مباشر وغير مباشر، أسئلة وغيرها نناقشها مع خالد شكراوي، باحث بارز بمركز السياسات من أجل الجنوب الجديد.

Here we take a bird’s eye view of global trade during the pandemic, relate it to previous trends, and guess how global value chain managers and government trade policymakers are likely to react. A Bird’s Eye View of Global Trade during the Pandemic World trade took a deep dive during ...

    The Trump Administration “America First” policy changed U.S. foreign policy towards the African continent. Trump opposed trade agreements with several countries, considering them to be unfavorable to the U.S., given the nature of the African market. He shifted the U.S. concern in Africa from fighting against violent extremism and terrorism to a direct competition with other great powers—China and Russia—which had already extensively implemented African strategies. He endeavored to r ...

    In October 2014, Burkina Faso entered a new era when a social uprising resulted in the overthrow after 27 years of President Blaise Compaoré. The uprising was triggered by Compaoré’s attempt to amend the constitution so he could run for another term. In late 2015, Roch Marc Christian Kaboré was elected and sworn as a new president with high hopes for a new Burkina Faso. Corruption, democratic reforms, poverty, and economic development dominated President Kaboré’s inauguration speech ...

    L’histoire du Polisario, loin de prouver une quelconque légitimité, est en réalité un produit non discursif, plus confus, produit et délégué à une consommation interne, et à une stratégie de propagande à l’extérieur. L’organisation séparatiste qui réfute la marocanité du Sahara, ne possède que des récits épars. Des récits basés sur des entretiens oraux et des semblants de rapports de réunions, postdatés généralement, des constatations et des déclarations de mémoire des uns et des au ...

Africa is one of the key spaces where such strategic efforts have been taking place. In such a context, this paper assesses key drivers of emerging powers’ growing engagement ...

Though the word has not been used by the General Assembly since, it has appeared in court rulings in the EU, the UK and South in a detrimental conclusion regarding Morocco’s sovereignty over the Saharan Provinces. This paper shall start with a consideration of international law in order: to differentiate occupation of a nonself- governing territory from occ ...
