    The opening of the border between Ethiopia and Eritrea symbolized an important phase in the newfound relations between the two. Since their rapprochement in June 2018, events have occurred at a frenzied pace, yet much was still in the political arena and removed from demonstrating tangible benefits to average citizens. By opening the border, the leaders of Ethiopia and Eritrea changed that. Yet the border opening also reveals an insight into a previously isolated and largely closed ...

    Morocco’s return to its “institutional family" by joining the African Union (AU) two years ago heralds renewed hope for positive progress in terms of the Organization's stance on the Sahara issue. This comeback, however, also raises fears and apprehensions over possible complications due to an intrusion by the continental organization into an exclusively UN process, geared since 2000 towards seeking a realistic and mutually acceptable political resolution. ...

    Le retour du Maroc à “sa famille institutionnelle “ à travers son adhésion à l’Union africaine (UA), il y a deux années, a nourri des espoirs sur la possibilité d’une évolution positive de la posture de cette Organisation sur la question du Sahara. Ce retour a, en même temps, suscité des appréhensions et des craintes sur d'éventuelles complications du dossier par une intrusion de l'Organisation continentale dans un processus exclusivement onusien, orienté, depuis 2000, vers la reche ...

    Indépendant depuis seulement 1977, Djibouti, jeune République de moins d'un million d'habitants, s’est transformé en un acteur régional doté d’un poids stratégique et commercial considérable. Bordé par l’Érythrée, au Nord, par l’Ethiopie, à l’Ouest, et par la Somalie, au Sud-est, sa frontière maritime orientale jouxte la mer Rouge et le golfe d’Aden. Ainsi, situé sur le détroit de Bab el Mandeb, d’une largeur de seulement 19km, Djibouti offre un positionnement privilégié afin d’obs ...

    Bouteflika ou ceux qui utilisent son image sont allés jusqu’au bout. Ils ont déposé la candidature du président sortant pour un cinquième mandat consécutif. Ni les gesticulations d’une opposition dépassée par les événements, et qui a préféré le boycott à la lutte, ni le mouvement des foules qui rappelle un certain ‘’Printemps arabe’’, n’ont dissuadé le régime de se maintenir dans sa position initiale : faire briguer au président un 5ème mandat. Panne d’alternatives Pourtant, aucun ...

    L’évaluation d’impact des projets et programmes de développement est un exercice qui est de plus en plus adopté dans les pays en développement notamment ceux d’Afrique subsaharienne. Entre autres facteurs explicatifs, il y a la rareté des ressources allouées au développement mais aussi la nécessité de mieux connaître les contraintes structurelles au développement. Saisissant l’occasion de la première conférence de West Africa Capacity building and Impact Evaluation Program (WACIE-3i ...
