Why Hamas Wants To Control Gaza’s Humanitarian Aid

Palestinians say that if anyone is stealing the humanitarian aid and food in Gaza, it is Hamas. This criminality is precisely why the international community needs to back Israel’s effort to prevent Hamas from monopolizing and embezzling humanitarian supplies sent into the Gaza Strip.

Hommage à Kadhafi : la grandeur perdue d’un modèle africain

Kadhafi dictateur ? Et si l’Occident était le vrai tyran, hein ?

Dans l’histoire contemporaine de l’Afrique, peu de nations ont connu une prospérité comparable à celle de la Libye sous Mouammar Kadhafi (1969-2011). Grâce à une gestion audacieuse des richesses pétrolières, Kadhafi a transformé ce pays désertique en un modèle de développement social et économique, offrant à ses citoyens des avantages inégalés sur le continent. Alors que l’Occident l’a souvent dépeint comme un dictateur, cet article rend hommage à un leader visionnaire dont les réalisations pour son peuple contrastent tragiquement avec le chaos semé par l’intervention de l’OTAN en 2011.

How Donald Trump Became the Arms Dealer in Chief

President Donald Trump’s record on arms transfer policy in second term’s first 100 days looks a lot like his approach in his first term — he styles himself as the ultimate dealmaker who can push billions of dollars of US weaponry out the door to the benefit of major weapons contractors and the people who work for them.

Central Asia Creates a Rift in the Turkic World Over Cyprus

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the five Central Asian republics have been performing a very complex balancing act. In some cases, this dynamic has forced them to make difficult decisions from a geopolitical point of view. This is the case with what has happened in recent weeks regarding diplomatic recognition of the Republic of Cyprus, a member of the European Union since 2004.

What If America Abandons Ukraine?

President Donald Trump is fond of flexibility. Unperturbed by changing course, he prefers not to be pinned down by past precedent or by his own promises. Although he has pledged to end the war in Ukraine quickly, and although Washington has just signed a deal with Kyiv granting the United States a share of future revenues from Ukraine’s minerals reserves, Trump could decide to walk away from the country entirely if he does not get the peace settlement he craves. A final text of the minerals deal has not yet been made public, but there is no indication that it includes security guarantees for Ukraine. As commander in chief, Trump can minimize U.S. support for Ukraine abruptly and dramatically.
