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.

    The United States and Europe share a common interest in addressing the growing terrorist threats from North Africa. The emergence of ISIL as a force in the region — notably in Libya, but also in Egypt and to a lesser degree in Tunisia, Algeria, and Mali — is cause for genuine concern. The ISIL challenge is compounded by the persistence of older terrorist organizations, both local ones such as the region’s various Ansar al Sharias as well as al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), al ...

These areas offer Egypt multiple opportunities to position itself in the region and in the world. However, the country is forced to manage its neighborhood’s contradictions. Historically, Egypt has inherited a past leadership that it is unable to maintain in absence of adequate leverage capacity. Its current resources and problems handicap its dream of re ...

    Ethiopia is located at the heart of the Horn of Africa. Torn between its position within the Greater Middle East (Culcasi 2008, 128 and Fukuyama 2008, 206) from one side, and Sub Saharan Africa on the other, this East African state is landlocked in a region marked by intense and long-standing political strife and conflicts, and is directly exposed to regional insecurity and political volatility. Against this unstable background, successive regimes and governments in Addis Ababa have ...
