De wonderen zijn de wereld nog niet uit. Sloot Trump gisteren ineens een handelsdeal met de Britten, dit weekend gaat 'ie heel ver voor een deal met de Chinezen. Zo ver zelfs dat 'ie bereid is de tarieven drastisch te verlagen.Ze staan er in China zelf ook van te kijken. Waarom wil Trump zo graag? We bespreken het deze aflevering. Dan hoor je ook waarom China het (ondanks die handelsoorlog) extreem veel exporteert. Sterker nog: de binnenlandse vraag valt nauwelijks terug. Verder vertellen we je over BP. Het aandeel zit in een diep dal en dat zet concurrenten aan het denken. Die zijn allemaal aan het berekenen of zij de Britse oliereus willen overnemen. Shell zegt dat het ze niet waard is, maar is dat ook echt zo? We hebben het ook over de Duitse beurs. Beleggers daar hebben een nieuwe bondskanselier en die zal dit succes vast willen claimen: de DAX-index tikt namelijk een nieuw record aan. En Elon Musk vindt de 260.000 ontslagen die hij bij de Amerikaanse overheid regelde nog niet genoeg. Hij heeft een stukje software ontwikkeld die zijn taken daar kan overnemen. En we blikken terug op de week waarin Jelle eindelijk analisten meekreeg in zijn enthousiasme over Disney. Ook een beursweek waarin Ahold zei geen last te hebben van de handelsoorlog. En die waarin de eerste deal in die oorlog gesloten werd.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Radar Empresarial: Shell bate previsiones y anuncia un plan de recompra de acciones

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy analizamos los posibles rumores que apuntan a una posible adquisición de BP por parte de Shell. Según informaciones de Bloomberg, en las últimas semanas la compañía ha estado estudiando la viabilidad de la operación. Según el medio económico, estas deliberaciones se encuentran en una etapa temprana y que cualquier decisión de cara al futuro podría depender de si las acciones de British Petroleum continúan cayendo. La compañía podría esperar a que surja otro candidato. Shell fue protagonista la semana pasada por la presentación de resultados del primer trimestre que mejoraron las previsiones de los analistas. La compañía británica-holandesa presentó una caída en los beneficios del 28%. Aún así, estos superaron las previsiones del mercado. El consenso de analistas esperaba unas ganancias netas ajustadas que apenas superaran los 5.000 millones. Shell consiguió 500 millones de dólares más. Esto hizo que las acciones de la empresa subieran más de un 2% en la Bolsa de Londres. Aunque exista esta disminución de beneficios y los ingresos caigan un 6% en comparación con el mismo periodo del año anterior, la compañía mejora respecto al primer trimestre. La petrolera anuncia un flujo de caja operativo de más 8.000 millones de dólares. Shell anuncia también un dividendo de 33 céntimos. La compañía sigue firme con su plan de recompra de acciones, que tendrá un valor de 3.500 millones de dólares. Este se extenderá durante los siguientes tres meses y supone el décimo cuarto trimestre consecutivo que se produce un plan de recompra de acciones con un valor de al menos 3.000 millones de dólares. En la compañía ya es bastante habitual este tipo de estrategia, ya que los economistas opinan que las empresas que hacen este tipo de plan buscan optimizar su estructura de capital y mejorar los retornos para los accionistas. Shell se fundó en 1907 con el nombre de Royal Dutch Shell. Esta compañía derivó de la fusión de la Real Compañía Neerlandesa de Petróleos y Shell Transport and Trading Company. Esta fusión tenía como objetivo competir con el gigante estadounidense Standard Oil. Las primeras operaciones de la compañía saliente de este acuerdo se hicieron en Venezuela, en 1912, a través de su subsidiaria Caribbean Petroleum Company.

Au Sénégal, le candidat d'opposition Bassirou Diomaye Faye remportait la présidentielle dès le premier tour avec 54 % des voix il y a un an jour pour jour. Un an plus tard, où en est la rupture promise par le parti Pastef et quels sont les principaux changements revendiqués par le président Diomaye Faye et le Premier ministre Ousmane Sonko ? Ayib Daffé est le secrétaire général du parti, dont il est aussi député et chef du groupe parlementaire. En ligne de Dakar, il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Ayib Daffé, quels sont, pour vous, les premiers changements tangibles que le Pastef a apportés au Sénégal ?Ayib Daffé : Les premiers changements tangibles sont d'abord dans la gouvernance. Conformément à son engagement, le président de la République Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye a inscrit la bonne gouvernance et la lutte contre la corruption comme une priorité de sa politique en transmettant une lettre aux fonctionnaires du pays, pour les exhorter à la ponctualité, au respect du bien public, à l'efficacité et au respect de la hiérarchie. Donc, sur ce plan-là également, il a eu à organiser des assises de la justice sur la modernisation et la réforme de la justice au Sénégal. Et par ailleurs, il a eu aussi à publier tous les rapports des corps de contrôle qui étaient transmis à son prédécesseur depuis près d'une dizaine d'années et qui n'étaient pas publiés, contrairement aux textes qui les encadrent. Il a eu également à faire un audit sur la gestion des finances publiques par son prédécesseur, notamment à la période entre 2019 et 2024. Et c'est cet audit qui a permis de révéler une situation très peu reluisante de nos comptes publics avec un déficit à 12% du PIB, alors que les chiffres qui étaient présentés parlent d'un déficit à 5%. Donc, une véritable catastrophe budgétaire, si on peut parler ainsi, et ça a permis d'avoir une situation réaliste. Donc, en très peu de temps, il a eu à concrétiser sa vision et à développer la stratégie de développement.À lire aussiSénégal: un an après l'élection de Bassirou Diomaye Faye, le pays est-il entré dans une nouvelle ère?Suite au dernier rapport de la Cour des comptes, vous dites que l'ancien président Macky Sall, qui vit actuellement au Maroc, va être convoqué par la justice sénégalaise, mais celui-ci, dans une interview à Jeune Afrique, réplique qu'il n'est responsable d'aucune falsification et que tout ceci est ridicule.Bon, je pense que la Cour des comptes est une institution. Donc, c'est la parole de Macky Sall contre celle de la Cour des comptes. Et la Cour des comptes, c'est la loi qui lui confère cette mission-là. Donc, je ne vois pas comment on peut remettre en cause un rapport de la Cour des comptes. Ce n'est pas sérieux, ce n'est pas crédible. Maintenant, il est dans son rôle d'homme politique de défendre son bilan, son mandat, mais la réalité est qu'il y a un désastre budgétaire, il y a un désastre financier. On parle vraiment d'une catastrophe sur le plan budgétaire. Parce que, par exemple, on nous a révélé qu'il y a plus de 2500 milliards de francs CFA qui ont été empruntés auprès des banques de la place, alors que l'Assemblée nationale n'a pas donné d'autorisation, l'Assemblée nationale n'a jamais été informée. Donc, cette dette cachée et beaucoup d'autres irrégularités sont aux antipodes de la bonne gouvernance. Sa responsabilité politique est effectivement engagée. Bon, maintenant, je n'ai pas entendu dire qu'il sera convoqué par la justice, parce que, comme vous le savez, la Constitution stipule que le président de la République ne peut être poursuivi que pour haute trahison et devant la Haute Cour de justice. Donc, cela n'est pas encore le cas. Et si cela devait l'être, ce serait conformément à la Constitution, aux lois et aux règlements du Sénégal.Oui, mais le porte-parole du gouvernement, Moustapha Ndjekk Sarré, a dit sur RFM qu'inévitablement, le président Macky Sall fera face à la justice ?Effectivement, il a eu à le dire, mais lorsqu'il le disait, il a eu à préciser que, quand il le disait, il ne s'agissait pas de la version du gouvernement, mais il parlait en tant qu'homme politique.À votre arrivée au pouvoir, Ayib Daffé, vous avez promis que les accords du Sénégal avec les compagnies qui doivent exploiter le gaz et le pétrole offshore seraient réévalués. Mais un an plus tard, toujours rien. Si jamais les contrats ne sont pas renégociés, est-ce que vous ne risquez pas de décevoir vos électeurs ?Je pense que le travail de renégociation des contrats, c'est un processus qui est entamé. Ce n'est pas un travail qui se fait du jour au lendemain. Et en accord avec les compagnies, il y a des négociations qui se déroulent et qui devraient aboutir bientôt à des résultats.Avec BP, British Petroleum ?C'est tous les contrats qui sont concernés, parce qu'il y a une revue des contrats qui est faite par le ministère de l'Énergie. Et maintenant, pour BP, le contrat concerne aussi bien le Sénégal que la Mauritanie. Et je pense que le Premier ministre, Ousmane Sonko, a eu à faire plusieurs voyages en Mauritanie, et le ministre de l'Énergie également. La Primature a mis en place un comité pour la renégociation de tous ces contrats stratégiques. Mais d'abord la revue et ensuite la renégociation.À lire aussiSénégal: qui est Bassirou Diomaye Faye, passé en un éclair de la prison à la présidence?

Crise pétrolière au Soudan du Sud: pourquoi la malaisienne Petronas claque la porte

Petronas quitte le Soudan du Sud après près de 30 ans d'exploitation pétrolière, accusant le gouvernement de bloquer la vente de ses actifs. Ce départ de l'entreprise pétrolière malaisienne, sur fond de crise environnementale et de déclin économique, soulève des questions sur l'avenir de l'industrie d'or noir dans le plus jeune pays du monde. Seule source de revenus pour l'État sud-soudanais, l'industrie pétrolière est en pleine crise. La production est passée de 300 000 barils par jour lors de l'indépendance en 2011 à moins de 50 000 barils en 2024, en grande partie à cause de la guerre au Soudan.Pour Boutros Manani Magaya, président du sous-comité sur le pétrole de l'Assemblée nationale, le départ de Petronas est un coup dur : « Pourquoi n'y a-t-il pas eu d'investissements supplémentaires dans ce secteur pour augmenter la production ou pour la maintenir au même niveau ? Cela soulève vraiment des questions. Nous savons que le Soudan du Sud a de grandes réserves de pétrole. Pourquoi Petronas et les autres compagnies n'ont-elles pas continué à investir dans l'industrie ? »La pollution dénoncéeLes raisons pourraient se trouver dans les audits financiers et environnementaux à venir, qui pourraient expliquer ce départ précipité.Les accusations de pollution liées à l'industrie pétrolière ne cessent de croître. Gizam Moses, représentant de la Coalition de la société civile sur les ressources naturelles (CSCNR), évoque des conséquences graves pour les populations locales : « Nous avons obtenu de nombreux rapports au sujet d'enfants nés avec de graves difformités à cause de l'exposition des femmes enceintes à la pollution pétrolière. Ces récits sont des indications claires que nos lois gouvernant l'exploitation des ressources naturelles ne sont pas respectées par les entreprises qui opèrent dans notre pays. »À lire aussiSoudan du Sud: la suspension des exportations de pétrole mine l'économie et fait exploser les prixLes entreprises appelées à rendre des comptesPour Joseph Africano Bartel, sous-secrétaire au ministère de l'Environnement, les entreprises responsables ne pourront pas échapper à leurs obligations, même après leur départ : « Quiconque est venu dans ce pays avant l'indépendance, profitant de l'absence de lois et de contrôle en pensant qu'ils allaient gagner de l'argent tout en négligeant l'environnement, ceux-là devraient bien réfléchir. Car ils ne vont pas disparaître. Petronas ou toute autre compagnie active au Soudan du Sud et ne protégeant pas l'environnement seront tenues responsables. »Bartel cite en exemple les 12 milliards de dollars que le pétrolier anglo-néerlandais Shell a dû payer aux victimes de la pollution pétrolière dans le delta du Niger.À lire aussiSénégal: le bras de fer continue entre les pêcheurs de Saint-Louis et British Petroleum

Tampa Florida trial lawyer Steve Yerrid has done it all.  He was a boxer in his youth and a fighter for justice in his career as a trial lawyer.  Steve was the youngest member of the Tobacco “Dream Team,” which secured a $17 billion settlement from Big Tobacco and numerous changes in their business practices which have saved thousands of lives.  Steve has many record setting jury verdicts.  He has served as personal counsel to NY Yankees' owner George Steinbrenner.  And he has given back to his community through his Yerrid Foundation.  Steve has authored several books and has frequently spoken on the topic of what separates those would achieve greatness (i.e., those who have “it”) from everyone else.  Join Rahul and Ben for their fascinating conversation with Steve as he shares aspects of his incredible career and things that have shaped his approach to trying cases and success in life. About Steve Yerridhttps://www.yerridlaw.com/attorneys/c-steven-yerrid/In a city like Tampa, Florida, a coastal metropolis steeped in history, the list of well-known names and larger-than-life personalities is rich and lengthy, but few names resonate with the same renown as Steve Yerrid.Yerrid, a trail-blazing trial lawyer for more than 45 years, has built a legacy that continues to evolve, fueled by a relentless desire to help as many people as possible, whether seeking and securing justice on their behalf in the courtroom or selflessly devoting his time and donating a substantial portion of his accumulated wealth to bettering the world around him. In an age where importance and social impact are measured by likes and subscribers, instead of hard work and good deeds, Steve remains a practitioner of the old ways, always leading by example and putting the needs of others first. Whether meeting each client of his firm personally or taking time to deliver much needed food to the area's most vulnerable and less fortunate, he is and has always been one-of-a-kind, a determined legal and social warrior the likes of which are a rarity in today's world.Yerrid has experienced a career of noteworthy achievements, including over 300 verdicts and settlements of $1 million or more for individuals and the families of those injured or killed by the wrongdoing of others. Among those was a jury verdict of $217 million, the largest medical malpractice award in Florida's history, and the nation's largest verdict in 2006. In 2009, he again obtained the country's largest verdict rendered in a wrongful death case that year, with a jury award of $330 million. When he was just 30 years old, Yerrid received international recognition in one of the world's largest maritime tragedies. In utilizing a rare “Act of God” defense, he was able to secure the complete exoneration of Captain John Lerro, the accused pilot in command of a large 608-foot bulk freighter which, during an unpredicted storm packing hurricane force winds, was blown off course and struck the mammoth Sunshine Skyway Bridge, collapsing its center span and tragically claiming 35 innocent lives.  Not a decade has passed that Steve has not left an indelible mark. In 2010, confronted by one of the largest environmental catastrophes in history, then-Governor Charlie Crist appointed him as Special Counsel regarding the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster and its aftermath. Yerrid gave his time, costs, and efforts for nearly a year to the people of Florida as a public service. As a result, The Florida Justice Association presented him with the Outstanding Pro Bono Award, a special recognition given only every several years. Yerrid also was retained by the City of Tampa to hold BP responsible for the economic damages it sustained as a result of that disaster. He successfully obtained a $27.5 million settlement in July 2015. It was the largest recovery paid to any municipality by British Petroleum. In the 1990's, as the youngest lawyer appointed by the late Governor Lawton Chiles to an 11-member “Dream Team” of private lawyers, Steve undertook a leading role in Florida's landmark lawsuit against the previously unbeaten cigarette industry. The case resulted in the biggest monetary settlement that had occurred in U.S. history, ultimately topping $17 billion. In addition, he and the Dream Team members succeeded in obtaining unprecedented advertising concessions that permanently prevented marketing aimed at children, eliminated cigarette billboards, vending machines, Joe Camel, the Marlboro Man, and established youth tobacco prevention programs across the United States. As a result of his success, tenacity and integrity, Steve has long been sought out to take on important and precedent-setting cases. He was honored to be appointed as Special Counsel to the Office of the Chief Judge (13th Judicial Circuit) and the Florida Conference of Circuit Judges. In representing Florida's entire judiciary, he successfully argued before the Florida Supreme Court and protected state judges and staff from public disclosure of confidential records and internal communications within the court system. Yerrid is a lifetime member of the prestigious Inner Circle of Advocates, an “invitation only” organization whose membership consists of the top 100 trial lawyers in the United States. He is a past recipient of the Perry Nichols Award, bestowed by the Florida Justice Association (FJA) as its highest honor in recognition of a lifelong pursuit of justice, and in 2013, he received the Excalibur Award for exemplifying leadership and commitment at the highest level of Florida's civil justice system, an honor bestowed on only four Florida trial lawyers. In 2016, he was voted into the National Trial Lawyers Hall of Fame. Steve also is the recipient of several FJA Eagle Awards (Gold, Silver and Crystal), including recognition as the first donor to achieve the $1 million-dollar-level of giving to the FJA's educational efforts designed to protect and improve the American system of justice; currently serves as a Distinguished Fellow in the FJA; has been named Top Lawyer in the Nation by Lawyers USA; was selected by the National Law Journal as a top ten litigator; honored by the American Board of Trial Advocates a Diplomate as well as Trial Lawyer of the Year (Tampa Bay); and the recipient of numerous other honors and recognitions through his career too numerous to specifically reference. He has been continuously listed in Best Lawyer in America over the last five decades. Steve Yerrid, a Georgetown University Law Center graduate has long been one of the country's top catastrophic injury and wrongful death trial attorneys, having secured over 300 verdicts and settlements of $1 million or more.  This year the jury awarded $15 million in damages to each parent for mental anguish, plus burial expenses of $7,502.00. The verdict total was $30,007,502.00.  In 2006 - A $217 million verdict was obtained for the client and his family. It is the largest medical malpractice verdict in Florida's history, and the top national jury verdict of its kind in 2006.  1990s, Mr. Yerrid was selected by the late Gov. Lawton Chiles as the youngest member of the 11-member “Dream Team” of private trial lawyers. He took a leading role in Florida's landmark lawsuit against the previously unbeaten cigarette industry. The case resulted in the biggest monetary settlement in the nation's history at the time, ultimately topping $17 billion.  The mantra that everyone should have a shot at happiness, success and living the American dream led to the formation of The Yerrid Foundation almost four decades ago.   The self-funded family foundation has made significant donations to more than 700 causes and charitable organizations locally, nationally, and even internationally, with an emphasis on children's issues, pediatric cancer research, the welfare of veterans, and domestic abuse victims.

Pape Ibrahima Kane: «Je ne suis pas sûr que la sortie du Sénégal du franc CFA sera rapide»

« Je suis porteur d'un panafricanisme de gauche », a déclaré le nouveau président sénégalais après l'annonce de sa victoire lundi 25 mars. Avec Bassirou Diomaye Faye au pouvoir, qu'est-ce qui va changer entre le Sénégal et ses voisins d'Afrique de l'Ouest d'un côté, entre le Sénégal et la France de l'autre côté ? Le chercheur sénégalais Pape Ibrahima Kane est un spécialiste des questions régionales en Afrique. Pour lui, cette alternance au Sénégal permet d'espérer un retour du Mali, du Burkina et du Niger dans la Cédéao.  RFI : Dans les quatre-vingts pages du projet de Bassirou Diomaye Faye, le mot souveraineté apparaît 18 fois. Sur le plan économique d'abord, quelles sont les conquêtes de souveraineté que vise le nouveau président ?Pape Ibrahima Kane : Mais je pense que la première souveraineté qu'il veut conquérir, c'est la souveraineté de l'État sur ses ressources naturelles. On a le gaz, on a le pétrole. Il dit vouloir renégocier les contrats. Et on a aussi les phosphates, on a le zircon. L'agenda est vraiment de faire en sorte que le Sénégalais puisse jouir le maximum possible des ressources naturelles qui se trouvent sur son territoire.Alors, dans le domaine du gaz et du pétrole offshore, le président sortant, Macky Sall, affirme que l'État sénégalais est déjà majoritaire dans tous ses contrats avec les compagnies internationales comme British Petroleum et la compagnie américaine Kosmos Energy. Qu'est ce qui va changer, demain, avec le nouveau président ?Mais, ces contrats-là, Macky Sall a dit que le Sénégal était majoritaire, mais on attend de voir. Il n'y a pas l'information qui permet de vérifier tout cela. En plus, dans certains domaines, on partage le pétrole et le gaz avec un voisin, la Mauritanie, et l'on sait que les négociations ont été très rudes avec certaines compagnies comme BP, et peut-être que cette nouvelle présidence va nous permettre d'en savoir plus sur le dossier. Et comme eux-mêmes, ils disent qu'ils vont vouloir renégocier des contrats qu'ils considèrent comme léonins, on va certainement voir quel va être leur marge de manœuvre pour renégocier tous ces contrats.Dans le domaine de la pêche, le nouveau président veut revoir les permis accordés aux acteurs étrangers. Qu'est-ce qu'il peut faire de ce côté-là ?Ah là, il peut faire beaucoup de choses parce que beaucoup de ces contrats en réalité ont été octroyés à des Sénégalais qui les ont après sous-loués à des compagnies chinoises, en tout cas asiatiques de façon générale. Là, l'État a la possibilité en constatant que ce n'est pas celui qui a signé le contrat qui en est l'exécutant et donc peut remettre en cause beaucoup de ces contrats. D'autant plus que beaucoup de pêcheurs sénégalais se plaignent de la raréfaction du poisson à cause de ces compagnies qui disposent de matériel hautement sophistiqué. Donc, si l'État veut satisfaire, en tout cas, les demandes de ces dizaines de milliers de pêcheurs, il faudra faire quelque chose dans ce domaine. Et je pense que c'est possible pour le gouvernement de remettre un peu d'ordre dans ce secteur-là.Sur le plan politique, « il faut sortir du néocolonialisme », disent les nouveaux dirigeants du Sénégal. Quelles mesures pourraient prendre Dakar vis-à-vis de Paris ?Certainement, la plus facile à réaliser, c'est peut-être de demander la fermeture des bases militaires qui sont, Sonko l'a rappelé plusieurs fois, qui sont vraiment l'exemple de présence néocoloniale sur le territoire sénégalais. Et je pense également aux accords de défense, vouloir les renégocier et faire en sorte que le Sénégal ne soit plus dépendant de ses relations avec la France lorsqu'il s'agit de sécurité. Je dois même ajouter que [les nouveaux dirigeants du Sénégal] insistent sur la France, mais le Sénégal a aussi signé des accords avec les Américains. Vont-ils renégocier ces accords-là ? Vont-ils demander à la petite unité des forces américaines qui se trouve à l'aéroport de Yoff de quitter le territoire ? Ça, les semaines à venir nous diront ce que les autorités vont décider.Donc, il faut s'attendre au départ des militaires français qui sont à Dakar depuis l'indépendance depuis 1960 ?Certainement et la fermeture des deux grandes bases qui se trouvent à Dakar, la base maritime qui se trouve au port de Dakar et peut-être ce qu'on appelle les éléments français de Dakar, qui se trouvent à Ouakam. Ça, je pense, d'un point de vue symbolique, ça va montrer que l'État a commencé à agir dans la reprise de la souveraineté sénégalaise sans beaucoup de conséquences, parce que les Français, eux-mêmes, sont en train de réfléchir sur leur présence militaire sur le continent et donc ça peut aller très vite.Le 15 mars dernier, en conférence de presse, Ousmane Sonko a déclaré : « Il y a un problème avec le franc CFA, cette monnaie ne colle pas avec nos impératifs de développement. 90% des pays du monde ont leur monnaie et ils s'en sortent. » Est-ce qu'on va, Pape Ibrahima Kane, vers une sortie rapide du Sénégal du franc CFA ?Je ne suis pas sûr que la sortie sera rapide parce que, hier [lundi 25 mars], en conférence de presse, le nouveau président a précisé sa pensée en disant que, oui, la monnaie est un élément important de la souveraineté économique, mais que le Sénégal avait déjà pris un certain nombre d'engagements, notamment au niveau de la Cédéao pour la création de l'Eco, qui est la monnaie sous-régionale. Il dit engager les dialogues avec la Cédéao et les autres États pour accélérer le processus de la mise en place de cette monnaie. C'est seulement si ce processus-là est lent ou s'il n'aboutit pas que le Sénégal va envisager la création de sa propre monnaie. Donc, vous voyez que déjà, de ce point de vue-là, il y a un peu plus de réalisme dans le discours. Mais ce que je peux ajouter, c'est que le fait que le Sénégal remette en cause la monnaie CFA, cela veut dire que ça isole davantage la Côte d'Ivoire qui, avec le Sénégal, étaient les deux pays qui vraiment faisaient tout pour que les États continuent à utiliser le CFA. Et donc, si le Sénégal bascule, ça veut dire que les jours du franc CFA sont comptés. Peut-être d'ici un an, un an et demi, on verra plus clair là-dedans.Depuis la naissance du franc CFA, le Sénégal abrite le siège de la Banque centrale de cette monnaie, à savoir la BCEAO. Alors, si demain l'Afrique de l'Ouest crée une nouvelle monnaie commune comme l'Eco, est-ce que le Sénégal ne va pas devoir laisser partir la future Banque centrale qui pourrait déménager naturellement vers le pays poids lourds de cette future monnaie, à savoir le Nigeria ?Oh, ça, c'est peut-être les négociations qui nous le diront. Peut-être que le Sénégal va perdre le siège de la Banque centrale, mais peut-être qu'il va, en contrepartie, obtenir des positions, pourquoi pas gouverneur de cette banque. De toute façon, à partir de l'instant où on mettra en place cet Eco, ce sont les économies les plus puissantes de la région qui vont nécessairement imposer leurs vues et leurs stratégies. Et là, de ce point de vue-là, il y a la Côte d'Ivoire, il y a le Ghana et le Nigeria qui vont jouer les grands rôles. Mais le fait qu'on ait un bâtiment de la Banque centrale aussi immense à Dakar, qui abrite le siège de la BCEAO, le Sénégal pourrait éventuellement bénéficier de certains avantages au niveau du partage des responsabilités dans cette nouvelle monnaie.Alors, s'il y a un pays qui doit se réjouir particulièrement de la victoire de Bassirou Diomaye Faye, c'est le Mali. On se souvient du soutien public qu'Ousmane Sonko a apporté plusieurs fois au régime militaire d'Assimi Goïta. À l'heure où le Mali annonce son départ de la Cédéao, est-ce que le nouveau chef d'État sénégalais ne va pas essayer de retenir son ami malien dans la Cédéao à laquelle il semble tenir, lui, Bassirou Diomaye Faye ?Tout à fait, je pense que c'est cette démarche qui va être déclenchée. Hier, Bassirou Diomaye Faye a réitéré l'ancrage du Sénégal dans la Cédéao, a réitéré le panafricanisme de la politique étrangère sénégalaise et, surtout, il a insisté sur l'intégration au niveau sous-régional dans le cadre de la Cédéao. Le Pastef, de façon générale, n'a pas seulement des amis au Mali, il a aussi des amis au Burkina Faso. Et j'espère que le président Diomaye Faye va vraiment utiliser tous ses atouts en matière de diplomatie pour ramener ces deux pays, plus le Niger, à la maison, parce que c'est important que, nous tous, nous partions ensemble vers cette intégration-là. Et je pense qu'il a, surtout avec le Mali, des arguments assez massues à mettre en exergue parce que le plus grand partenaire du Mali, c'est le Sénégal, et cela peut aider à vraiment faciliter le dialogue pour un retour de ces pays-là dans la maison-mère, d'autant que Bassirou Diomaye Faye a insisté sur une réforme de la Cédéao.Oui, parce qu'il veut donner plus de pouvoir aux parlementaires et aux juges de la Cédéao, c'est ça ?Tout à fait, pas seulement aux parlementaires, aux juges de la Cédéao, mais il veut aussi rendre la commission de la Cédéao beaucoup plus fonctionnelle, capable de bien faire fonctionner la maison de manière plus efficace pour le bénéfice et des populations et des États parties.Et la Russie, est-ce qu'il faut s'attendre à un renversement d'alliance et au remplacement de la France par la Russie comme partenaire privilégié du Sénégal ?Je ne le pense pas. Le Sénégal a déjà d'excellents rapports avec la Russie. Beaucoup ne le savent pas, mais la Russie est l'un des grands partenaires commerciaux du Sénégal. Nous importons pratiquement [tout] notre blé de la Russie, nous achetons de l'armement militaire à la Russie. Donc, je ne vois pas, parce qu'il y a eu changement de personnes à la tête de l'État sénégalais, que le Sénégal fasse ce « shift »-là pour aller vers la Russie. Et cela irait même à l'encontre de l'idée qu'il défend, de l'idée de souveraineté, parce que la souveraineté, ça veut dire « on prend en charge son propre destin, on n'est pas à la remorque d'autres pays, aussi puissants soient-ils ». Et mon avis personnel est que, dans le domaine de la diplomatie, il y aura une continuité parce que l'héritage que lui laissent le président Macky Sall et les anciens présidents est un héritage qu'il faudra vraiment renforcer. Le Sénégal est un petit pays, mais diplomatiquement un pays très fort, un pays vraiment respecté en Afrique. Je pense que le nouveau président gagnerait plus à utiliser le personnel diplomatique qui est là, à continuer dans le cadre de la diplomatie, dont les lignes ont été tracées par ses prédécesseurs pour davantage mieux placer le Sénégal dans le concert des nations. Juste un dernier point que je soulignerai à ce niveau-là, la diplomatie sénégalaise a toujours été faible dans nos rapports avec nos voisins. Nous avons toujours eu des problèmes avec nos voisins, que ce soit la Mauritanie, la Gambie, la Guinée-Bissau, avant l'arrivée de Macky Sall, et la Guinée Conakry. De ce point de vue-là, je pense qu'il a beaucoup d'efforts à faire, d'autant plus qu'il n'est pas bien connu, il ne connaît pas ces chefs d'État, et ce sont ces rapports-là qui peuvent vraiment renforcer les liens entre le Sénégal et ses voisins. Quand on est en paix avec ses voisins, on peut envisager le panafricanisme, on peut envisager le renforcement de la Cédéao, mais si ça ne l'est pas, ça va être difficile pour lui de vraiment mener une politique diplomatique digne de ce nom.Il y a deux ans, lors de l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie, le Sénégal s'est abstenu lors des votes à l'ONU. Est-ce que vous vous attendez à un changement de position ?Non, je ne pense pas que le Sénégal de ce point de vue-là va changer de position parce que, justement, on a une diplomatie qui est très respectée. Vous avez parlé de cette décision d'abstention, c'était lié au fait que le Sénégal avait justement beaucoup de rapports économiques avec la Russie et il ne voulait pas s'aliéner ses relations économiques-là, et il a pris le parti de s'abstenir et même de faire en sorte que les États africains refusent de prendre position dans ce conflit-là. Le non-alignement du Sénégal, je ne pense pas que ça soit quelque chose qui va être revisité par le nouveau gouvernement. Parce que, tout à l'heure, on en a parlé, il y a quand même au moins un ou deux dossiers importants à gérer rapidement comme le dossier du retour des pays de l'AES à la maison-mère, et ça, si on ne peut pas agir dans ce domaine-là en prenant des positions plus ou moins radicales, ça n'arrange ni les uns ni les autres.Est-ce que ces grandes questions, comme l'éventuel retour de l'Alliance des États du Sahel (AES) dans la maison Cédéao et la question du franc CFA, est-ce que toutes ces questions seront gérées plutôt par Bassirou Diomaye Faye ou plutôt par Ousmane Sonko ?Ah ! Le président de la République au Sénégal, d'après la Constitution, c'est lui qui détermine la politique étrangère du pays. Je pense que la direction de la diplomatie restera entre les mains du président de la République et lui seul.Et quel rôle jouera Ousmane Sonko à l'avenir, à votre avis ?Ça va se déterminer, je pense, à partir d'octobre, novembre, au moment où on aura une nouvelle Assemblée nationale, peut-être que Sonko pourrait valablement trouver sa place en tant que président de l'Assemblée nationale ou en tout cas jouer un rôle déterminant dans ce domaine. Peut-être bien aussi qu'on pourrait le nommer Premier ministre. Il y a toutes ces possibilités-là qui s'offrent. Je ne pense pas, avec l'expérience que le Sénégal a vécu en 1962, que l'on soit dans une dynamique de dyarchie à la tête de l'État.Vous pensez au conflit entre Senghor et Mamadou Dia ?Exactement, et ça, ça a laissé beaucoup de traces dans la vie politique sénégalaise et je suis sûr qu'ils ne vont pas répéter ces erreurs-là.À lire aussiPrésidentielle au Sénégal: décryptage de la victoire de Bassirou Diomaye Faye

It's about controlling America and the future. Because really it's all about controlling you and me and everyone else, Period.  Because you cannot get that taste out of your mouth—once you have lived a life of freedom—even for a short time—you can never go back— the sweet taste of freedom never fades!   So let's talk about the numbers—and lets focus on coal to begin with—because right now—there are scores of coal fired power plants being built all over the planet—in China and India—in Africa, South America—and more than 40 in European Union nations—and you have to ask yourself—if coal is the alleged existential threat to mankind—why would the use of coal be hitting all time new records every single year?   Why would dozens of nations try to help the world commit suicide—and only America—try to stop it from happening—seems pretty odd doesn't it?   According to a comprehensive study by British Petroleum—the incredible surge in energy demand following the Pandemic—has triggered a surge in energy from all sources—including coal—and coal generation of electricity—that is being forecast to keep setting all-time records for at least the next 5 years—and remember we only have until 2030 to turn things around or well all die—that's what they keep saying—BUT the truth is America is about the only place where coal is being used less—the rest of the world is yelling ‘burn baby burn'…   The overall percentage of coal generated juice is off from a high of 40% in 2010—BUT still accounts for 36% today—AND the actual amount of coal used continues to skyrocket—   China is leading the way—burning through 2.2 million metric tons in the first 6-months of this year—compared to 1.9 million metric tons in the first 6-months of last year— and just 1.75 million metric tons in 2019—   Now Europe is scrambling to fill the need with the absence of Russian gas—and they are scouring Africa for new suppliers—   One of the countries that is looking to cash in—the small South American nation of Guyana—best known for the horrors of Jim Jones—has already surpassed $1 Billion dollars in oil production this year—and has led the world in energy discoveries since 2015—with over 11 billion barrels worth of reserves discovered since then— by 2035—the forecast is for Guyana to produce 1.7 million barrels a day—and think about that, 2035? What happened to ridding the world of oil, gas and coal? Aren't we supposed to be carbon neutral by then? What happened to the Paris Climate Accords and all that puffery?   I think maybe you are starting to sneak a peek around the corner—and that everything you have been told may not be true—in fact they may be lying to you every day—
