While the holy month of Ramadan is of undeniable importance in Salafi-jihadi ideology, being rooted in the Quran and in the Muslim tradition, as well as in more mainstream forms of political Islam, the Islamic State (ISIS) has come to place special emphasis on the month, as is evident in the group’s media output. ISIS leadership often chooses the occasion of Ramadan to announce new operations, goals, and strategies. It was on the first day of Ramadan 2014 (June 19) that ISIS officially declared the establishment of a caliphate and appointed Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi as its caliph.
Les chefs d’État et de gouvernement d’une quinzaine de pays africains ont assisté à la réunion de la 20ème reconstitution des ressources de l’Association internationale de développement, communément appelée IDA-20.

As it has unfolded over the past several years, the migration crisis linking Europe and Africa has revealed many facets.
At its simplest, it is one of the worst ongoing human tragedies in the world today, but one that only commands the attention of a broad public under specific circumstances. One is when it is discovered that a large number of Africans have died at sea while trying to reach Europe, whether from thirst or after their boat capsizes.
The European Migrant Crisis of 2015 has long since abated, but European nativist and populist parties continue to attempt to stoke the popular backlash against immigrants to fuel their rise. Italy’s Matteo Salvini, the golden boy of Europe’s anti-immigrant populists, even rode the issue into government in 2018, before marginalizing himself with a bid to force early elections in 2019 and, more recently, misplaying the politics of the COVID-19 crisis. Nevertheless, Europe’s other far-right populists, like France’s Marine Le Pen, continue to hammer on anti-immigrant sentiment, hoping it will remain a potent issue in upcoming elections.
Observ că nimeni, nici dintre politicieni, nici din ”opinia publică” nu și asumă eșecul pentru ”realizările” acestor puțoi obraznici, pluseriști, care delabrează țara. Asta demonstrează clar cum sunt pervertite si falsificate valorile cu care spunem intotdeauna in gura mare că ne place să trăim.
President Joe Biden and German Chancellor Angela Merkel failed on Thursday to settle their dispute over Russia’s Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline.
“Good friends can disagree,” Biden told reporters after two meetings with Merkel at the White House.
Biden said he expressed his long-standing concerns to Merkel about the $11 billion pipeline, which would deliver gas from the Arctic to Germany via the Baltic Sea, bypassing Ukraine and depriving it of valuable transit fees.
The project is led by Russian state energy company Gazprom and its Western partners.

Lors du dernier sommet de Berlin, la communauté internationale a exigé que les quelque 20 000 mercenaires présents sur le territoire libyen quittent le pays. Mais qui sont ces combattants, d’où viennent-ils, qui les finance ?
« Toutes les forces étrangères et les mercenaires doivent être retirés de la Libye sans délai. » Les pays réunis à Berlin sous l’égide de l’ONU ont été unanimes. La nouvelle conférence du mercredi 23 juin sur la crise qui déchire le pays depuis 2011 avait pour objectif de régler la question des mercenaires présents sur le territoire libyen.
Balcanii reprezintă o miză majoră pentru Europa și pentru securitatea întregului continent. Regiunea rămâne divizată de istoria sa și de traiectorii economice foarte contrastante. Astfel, această zonă suferă de slăbiciuni care pot fi utilizate în scopul destabilizării de către mișcări radicale, în special jihadiste. O realitate ce preocupă serviciile franceze de informații, în condițiile în care Franța a fost grav lovită de atentate teroriste în ultimii ani.
