La guerre est-elle déclarée entre l'Iran et les Etats unis ? Interview avec Khalid Chegraoui

January 13, 2020

1/ Avec l’élimination du général Qassem Soleimani, l’escalade entre l’Iran et les Etats-Unis est montée d’un cran. Après la riposte de Téhéran par des tirs de missiles visant des bases américaines en Irak, une désescalade vous parait-elle possible ? 2/ Des voix s’élèvent aux Etats-Unis pour estimer qu’une guerre entre les Etats-Unis et l’Iran n’est pas à écarter, motivant leur va en guerre par le fait que l’Iran soutient le terrorisme au Moyen- Orient et développe des armes nucléaires. Qu’est-ce que vous en pensez ? 3/ Les derniers épisodes dans l’escalade entre Téheran et Washington ne risquent-ils pas de renforcer le camp des durs dans les deux pays ? Interview enregistré le 09/01/2020

    Feeble eyesight may hinder you from finding Puntland on a map, the unrecognized Federal member state in Somalia, Khaatumo State, Jubaland, or Somaliland, concerning the planet’s size just large enough to be covered by the shadow of a palm tree. Arab entities surrounded by sun and sand and the Gulf of Aden, Somaliland is surviving as a self-declared nation, located on the southern coast of the Gulf of Aden bordered by Djibouti to the northwest, Ethiopia to the south and west, Somalia ...

    How do you treat a brutal dictator who had lost power after 42 years, hiding in a drainpipe, after his convoy was attacked by fighter jets from the air? It was a bloody mess and not a pretty scene. The dictator had a few seconds to beg for his life, “what did I do to you», he gasped reported the London Guardian on October 22, 2011, and then his turbulent life came to an end, shot with a pistol. Triumphantly his assassin raised Gaddafi’s golden revolver -- a few minutes of global fam ...

    The Taliban takeover of Kabul on August 16, 2021, and the ensuing Afghan regime collapse in face of the Islamists, sent a global shockwave that for a time obscured the country's economic woes during US occupation.

    Depuis l’accession au trône du Roi Mohammed VI, l’Afrique s’est transformée en priorité de la diplomatie marocaine.

Pascal Chaigneau s’attarde sur les relations affaiblies Europe-Afrique, l’ambitieuse relation Chine-Afrique ainsi que les relations entre la Russie, les Etats-Unis, la Turquie ou encore les pays du Golf et l’Afrique.

    The democratic transition in Libya may be in peril because of an escalating, multidimensional crisis in the country. The crisis’ internationalized nature has undermined domestic stability, with many countries vying for influence and the spoils of war. These rivalries have seeped into an election process that was originally envisaged to be a method for attaining legitimacy. Instead, it is in danger of being hijacked, which would consolidate division and increase the risks of relapse ...
