4. Joseph Ellis, *The Cause: The American Revolution and Its Discontents, 1773 to 1783*. Thomas Paine's *Common Sense* revolutionized the rebellion by using plain language to argue that an island could not rule a continent and that monarchies were inherently flawed. Paine shifted the movement's focus from the rights of Englishmen to the natural rights of all human beings, making American victory seem inevitable. However, the harsh reality of war was felt at Valley Forge, where George Washington's army faced starvation and exposure due to a lack of congressional support. During that brutal winter, approximately 1,200 soldiers died of malnutrition and exposure, testing the endurance of those who "stayed the course". (4)1865 PARIS
Scientists just discovered something mind-blowing — a possible new continent hiding near Canada!
In this special crossover episode—recorded at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary—Camden Bucey joins Jonathan Master, President of Greenville Seminary, for a conversation on the life, method, and enduring relevance of Geerhardus Vos (1862–1949). Vos stands as a remarkable bridge figure: Dutch by birth, deeply shaped by continental Reformed theology and close friendship with Herman Bavinck, yet firmly planted in the American confessional Presbyterian tradition as the first chair of biblical theology at Old Princeton Seminary alongside B. B. Warfield. Drs. Bucey and Master explore Vos's foundational distinction between biblical theology and systematic theology—and why both are indispensable for faithful exegesis and preaching. Biblical theology, which Vos himself preferred to call "the history of special revelation," reads Scripture as the organic, progressive unfolding of God's redemptive acts in history—from the protoevangelium in Genesis 3:15 to the consummation of all things in Christ. That redemptive-historical framework opens up notoriously difficult passages (Hebrews 6, the unforgivable sin) in ways systematics alone cannot. The conversation also covers Vos's two-age eschatology, his key works (Biblical Theology, The Pauline Eschatology, Grace and Glory, The Teaching of Jesus Concerning the Kingdom of God and the Church), and the question of why Vos remained at Princeton when Machen and others departed.

Ghana is often remembered for the 1980s “Ghana Must Go” expulsions of migrants from Nigeria. But years earlier, Ghana carried out one of West Africa's largest expulsions.In this episode, we explore the Aliens Compliance Order, when hundreds of thousands of migrants were ordered to leave within two weeks. Why did Ghana introduce the policy, and what were the consequences?Plus in our PSA, we spotlight comedian Ayoade Bamgboye, who is on tour.Ghana's Independence BattleChagos Islands episodeFollow us on IG: itsacontinentpod and Twitter: itsacontinent.

Antarctic Treaty System explained—why it matters today. Season 3 of South Pole begins with a deep, accessible guide to the Antarctic Treaty System: the international agreement that keeps Antarctica demilitarized, dedicated to peace, science, and environmental protection. Political and environmental philosopher Dr. Alejandra Mancilla (University of Oslo) traces how the treaty emerged from overlapping territorial claims and Cold War tensions—and how it evolved into today's consultative vs. non-consultative membership model, where decision-making is tied to “substantial scientific research” and consensus rules shape outcomes. We unpack the 1991 Environmental Protocol, the ban on mineral extraction through 2048, and the big debates now facing Antarctic governance: tourism, legitimacy, climate change, and who gets to decide Antarctica's future.Episode Guest: Dr. Alejandra MancillaVisit Dr. Mancilla's websiteFind Dr. Mancilla's article hereBrowse Dr. Mancilla's publications on Google ScholarLearn more about the Antarctic Treaty hereSouth Pole: What if Antarctica had Legal Personhood?Read Antarctic journalist Tiara Walter's work Episode Transcript and more information on the Pine Forest Media WebsiteFollow Pine Forest Media on Instagram @pineforestmediaHosted, produced and edited by Clark Marchese Cover art and PFM logo by Laurel Wong.

Les pilotes les plus rapides du monde reviennent ce week-end, avec la reprise de la Formule 1 et le Grand Prix d'Australie ce dimanche 8 mars. Pour la 33ᵉ saison consécutive, les monoplaces de la catégorie reine du sport automobile ne rouleront pas sur le continent africain. Une absence qui s'explique par de nombreux facteurs. 14 mars 1993, sur le circuit de Kyalami, en banlieue de Johannesburg : le Français Alain Prost, au volant de sa Williams, devance le Brésilien Ayrton Senna et s'impose au terme des 72 tours du Grand Prix d'Afrique du Sud. Depuis cette date, la Formule 1 ne s'est plus jamais rendue en Afrique, au grand dam de certains pilotes, à commencer par Lewis Hamilton. Ces dernières années, le septuple champion du monde n'a pas caché son envie d'aller en Afrique, multipliant les prises de parole et pressant même les organes de la Formule 1 d'accélérer les discussions. Ce jeudi 5 mars, il s'est à nouveau exprimé, assurant « ne pas vouloir quitter le sport sans avoir eu un Grand Prix » africain. Dans le paddock, ces dernières années, des rumeurs ont d'ailleurs entrouvert la possibilité d'un retour. Plusieurs projets en Afrique du Sud, au Rwanda ou au Maroc Il y a d'abord eu le candidat naturel : l'Afrique du Sud et son circuit de Kyamali. « Ils parlent d'un retour de la F1 depuis 2017 », glisse Gaël Angleviel, journaliste spécialisé en sports mécaniques. « Le circuit n'est pas du tout à l'abandon, il accueille d'ailleurs d'autres compétitions. Warren Scheckter, le neveu du champion du monde sud-africain Jody Scheckter, s'était d'ailleurs positionné pour essayer de faire revenir la F1 à Kyalami. » Après 6 ans de négociations, en 2023, le projet est tombé à l'eau. « Le promoteur a été un petit peu trop gourmand aux yeux de la Fédération internationale de l'automobile (FIA) », raconte Gaël Angleviel. Fin 2024, le Rwanda avait lui aussi des velléités d'accueillir la Formule 1. Son président Paul Kagame a même officiellement déposé la candidature de son pays, lorsqu'il a reçu le gala de la FIA et sa traditionnelle remise de prix. « Mais on en est vraiment au stade du balbutiement », explique Gaël Angleviel. « Les autorités ont défini l'emplacement, qui devrait être proche du futur aéroport de Bugesera. Mais on attend encore un promoteur et un projet financier solides. » Autre rumeur, celle d'un Grand Prix du Maroc. Le Royaume a déjà accueilli une épreuve du championnat, à Casablanca, en 1958. Cette fois, c'est à Tanger qu'un projet se dessine, porté par le Français Éric Boullier, un temps à la tête de l'écurie Lotus. Mais, là encore, aucune négociation concrète n'a été entamée. À lire aussiLe Rwanda se porte officiellement candidat à l'organisation d'un Grand Prix de Formule 1 sur son sol « Jusqu'à 700 millions de dollars hors circuit. » Si les projets mettent autant de temps à se développer, c'est que les discussions avec la FIA sont très longues. « Il faut d'abord qu'un promoteur privé acquière un terrain », explique Marc Limacher, spécialiste de l'économie de la Formule 1 et auteur chaque année du Business Book GP. « Ensuite, ce promoteur entame des discussions avec les détenteurs de la F1, le groupe Liberty Media, et dépose un dossier, en mettant sur la table un dépôt qui tourne autour des 5 millions de dollars. » Vient ensuite la deuxième phase, celle des travaux, puisque pour accueillir les monoplaces les plus rapides du monde, un circuit doit être homologué « grade 1 » et répondre à des normes de sécurité très strictes. C'est seulement une fois cette homologation acquise que les négociations formelles peuvent débuter entre Liberty Media, la FIA et le promoteur du circuit. « Ça coûte extrêmement cher d'organiser tous les ans un Grand Prix de Formule 1 », explique Marc Limacher. « Ce sont des contrats entre 5 et 7 ans qui peuvent monter jusqu'à 700 millions de dollars hors circuit. » Lors des négociations, de nombreux paramètres entrent en compte : infrastructures, accessibilité, retombées économiques... Ainsi, les instances dirigeantes demandent une garantie de l'État systématique. « Tous les circuits du calendrier ont actuellement une garantie étatique en cas de défaillance », souligne Marc Limacher. L'absence de cette garantie explique, en partie, que la Formule 1 ne se rende pas en Afrique. Mais c'est loin d'être le seul facteur. Il y a aussi la concurrence internationale féroce, avec « énormément de pays qui veulent accueillir la F1 », estime Gaël Angleviel. « Or le calendrier est déjà très chargé, avec déjà 24 dates à l'année. Et si on commence à empiler les courses tous les week-ends, on risque de lasser le public. » Les pays du Golfe et les États-Unis sont très convoités par Liberty Media. Face à eux, le continent africain pâtit d'une « instabilité économique », juge Marc Limacher. « La F1 est une entreprise cotée en Bourse. Et on a vu par exemple que lorsque les projets du continent africain ont été annoncés, ils n'ont pas eu un impact positif sur la Bourse de New York. » Manque d'infrastructures et absence de pilote africain Autre facteur, l'absence d'infrastructures suffisantes pour accueillir les courses. « Il ne faut pas oublier qu'un Grand Prix, ce sont des centaines de milliers de personnes qui se déplacent. Il y a les spectateurs, les sponsors, les invités, sans oublier les équipes de F1 », énumère Marc Limacher. Autant de personnes sur quelques jours, cela implique d'avoir une industrie hôtelière robuste, des infrastructures routières adaptées, des transports en commun ainsi qu'un aéroport qui puisse accueillir un flux important de passagers et de fret. Même si les instances dirigeantes de la Formule 1 ont maintes fois répété leur envie de se rendre en Afrique, et malgré les prises de parole engagées de Lewis Hamilton, depuis 10 ans, les lignes n'ont pas vraiment bougé. D'autant qu'actuellement, il n'y a aucun pilote africain sur la grille. « Cela pourrait accélérer la volonté politique d'accueillir la F1 », assure Gaël Angleviel. « Mais si l'on regarde le cas de la France par exemple, il y a actuellement trois pilotes français sur la ligne de départ. Et aucun Grand Prix de France. » Lewis Hamilton participera-t-il à une course sur le continent africain avant de prendre sa retraite, comme il l'espère ? À 41 ans, le septuple champion du monde, déjà sur la grille depuis 20 ans, risque plutôt d'y assister en tant que spectateur. Car « les contrats actuels sont tous verrouillés », explique Marc Limacher. « Dans tous les cas, on ne verra pas de Grand Prix en Afrique avant au moins 2035. » À écouter dans Mondial sportsF1 : Lewis Hamilton, début de l'an 2 à Ferrari !

Ep.329International investing had a strong 2025, and 2026 is off to a promising start. But when we say “international,” what are we really talking about?Developed markets? Emerging markets? Europe? Asia?In this episode, Gabriel Shahin, CFP®, breaks down the real difference between Asia and Europe as investment regions—and why he's currently more bullish on Asia.Here's what we cover:• Why Europe had a strong 2025—but what actually drove those returns• How 60% of Europe's gains came from financials and industrials• The role of deregulation hopes and a strengthening yield curve• Why Asia's returns were driven by tech and communications• The massive earnings growth gap (20–29% in Asia vs ~4% in Europe)• How AI, semiconductors, digitalization, and innovation are shaping Asia• Taiwan Semiconductor vs ASML—valuation and growth comparison• Why demographic decline and overregulation weigh on Europe• How cultural momentum and government support fuel Asian growth• ETF exposure examples for diversified international positioningIt's not about loving one continent over another—it's about capital allocation.Asia is positioned around:– AI infrastructure– Semiconductor dominance– Digital expansion– Energy transition– Supply chain innovationEurope, while home to strong brands and select standout companies, faces:Slower earnings growth– Aging demographics– Regulatory friction– Higher structural energy costsThat doesn't mean avoid Europe entirely—but it does mean understanding where future growth is likely to accelerate.
Broadcast from Serbia, this episode dives into the Balkans, the most misunderstood, most underestimated corner of Europe, and one with the biggest upside if it can ever stop tripping over its own history. We look at why Serbia sits so close to Russia, why Kosovo still blocks the country's European future, and how war, sanctions, hyperinflation, and decades of bad leadership turned a natural crossroads into an economic cul-de-sac. A new generation is pushing back against corruption and state capture, and culture may be moving faster than politics, from packed derby stadiums in Belgrade to a runaway rom-com hit about a Croat-Serb wedding that's quietly rewriting the story. If the Balkans can turn rivalry into cooperation, it could become one of Europe's great comeback economies. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

From the inception of its Dawah, Islam transformed societies and built a global civilisation rooted in faith, justice, and human brotherhood. And from the beginning, Africa has been part of that story. It was the original safe haven for Muslims during the first hijrah, and over the centuries Islam flourished across the continent — shaping kingdoms, scholarship, trade networks, and vibrant communities from North and West Africa to the Swahili coast.

L'année 2025 a été particulièrement ensoleillée pour le secteur énergétique en Afrique. L'an dernier, le continent a enregistré une progression inédite selon le Global Solar Council. Le groupe qui réunit de nombreux acteurs du secteur indique une hausse de 54 % d'installations en énergie solaire par rapport à l'année précédente. Un record qui montre tout l'intérêt de l'industrie du solaire dans la région la plus ensoleillée au monde. Une énergie dont les équipements tendent à se généraliser à travers l'Afrique. Gilles Parmentier est le fondateur et directeur général du groupe Africa REN. RFI : Toutes les études indiquent un marché du solaire en expansion en Afrique. Quels sont les facteurs de croissance de cette énergie verte ? Gilles Parmentier : De toute évidence, l'énergie solaire en Afrique fait vraiment sens. Premièrement, elle est abondante. Le continent a les meilleures données d'irradiation solaire de la planète. Ensuite, elle est gratuite par définition, une fois qu'on a installé une centrale solaire. Et aujourd'hui, c'est une énergie extrêmement compétitive. Le prix au kilowatt/heure, le prix de revient de la centrale, tout cela rend le solaire plus compétitif qu'une centrale thermique ou autre type de technologie. Quand on pense énergie, on pense généralement à de l'électrification. Quels sont les usages les plus fréquents du solaire sur le continent ? Il y en a deux principalement : la production électrique d'une part, et d'autre part il y a tout ce qui est chauffe-eau solaire, four solaire, où on vient transformer l'énergie solaire en chaleur. On va la retrouver dans des usages domestiques et résidentiels sur la maison. Par contre, l'énergie électrique sert pout tout type d'usage. On a des centrales raccordées au réseau national, donc qui vont se brancher sur les lignes à haute tension et alimenter les villes. On a des centrales solaires en site isolé par exemple, qui vont alimenter des mines, des cimenteries, etc. Et il y a des centrales solaires en toiture destinées par exemple à des supermarchés ou à des entrepôts. Et puis il y a également les centrales solaires en microgrid : on vient alimenter un village de façon autonome avec du solaire qu'on doit complémenter par du diesel. Et enfin le solaire domestique, là c'est le panneau solaire sur la maison ou le kit solaire dans les zones très rurales. Cette croissance est aussi due à la hausse de la production décentralisée de l'énergie solaire. C'est un peu ce que vous venez de décrire. Alors que d'habitude on produit à grande échelle pour raccorder l'énergie au réseau électrique national du pays. Expliquez-nous la différence entre les deux systèmes… Ça c'est la grande promesse du solaire ! Jusqu'à récemment, une centrale électrique était de grande capacité. On la reliait avec des lignes à haute tension vers les centres de consommation, les villes. La difficulté du continent, c'est que la population à électrifier est encore énorme, 700 millions d'habitants sur le continent n'ont toujours pas accès à l'électricité, et par ailleurs on est sur des distances à couvrir très importantes. Il a fallu prendre conscience que le réseau électrique n'allait pas pouvoir aller partout rapidement. Le solaire étant beaucoup plus modulable qu'une centrale à charbon, une centrale diesel ou une centrale hydro, on est arrivé à une technologie qui permet d'installer des centrales solaires de capacité moyenne, voire petite, dans des villages, des villes moyennes, sans attendre que les lignes à haute tension arrivent. C'est un peu ça la grande révolution : les minigrid ou microgrid et c'est ce qui permet d'électrifier des populations sans avoir à tirer des lignes sur des centaines de kilomètres pour amener l'électricité qui serait produite ailleurs. On vient produire directement à l'endroit de la consommation. Cela peut sembler un peu curieux de parler d'une progression de l'énergie solaire aujourd'hui en Afrique, qui est la région la plus ensoleillée au monde, avec du soleil durant les deux tiers de l'année dans une bonne partie du continent. Dès les années 1980, le Niger s'est distingué par la fabrication de chauffe-eau, capteurs et autres équipements solaires par exemple. Voyez-vous une difficulté à faire accepter l'énergie solaire sur le continent ? Ou est-ce vraiment une question d'accès à la technologie ? Peut-être qu'une des difficultés principales, c'est la difficulté à mettre sur pied un projet où on va vendre l'énergie pendant 20 à 25 ans à une société publique nationale d'énergie. On doit arriver à mobiliser des financements et à les sécuriser pendant une durée très longue. Le défi, il est là : c'est vraiment d'arriver à mobiliser ces ressources sur un très long terme, puisqu'on va chercher à emprunter sur des durées allant de 15 à 18 ans. Donc c'est très long et ça implique de prendre quand même des risques importants sur des pays qui peuvent parfois traverser des transitions politiques ou des cycles économiques qui mettent en difficulté ces projets-là.

Burkina Faso, Gabon, RDC… La liste des États où les Émirats arabes unis investissent s'est allongée ces derniers mois. Les annonces de financements d'infrastructures se multiplient. Abou Dhabi, acteur dont l'implication dans certains conflits régionaux fait polémique, s'est néanmoins imposé comme un partenaire commercial incontournable ces dernières années. Comment analyser cet attrait des gouvernements africains pour ce partenaire ? Travail sur la filière or, construction du port commercial de Banana à l'embouchure du Congo, accords commerciaux sur 6 000 produits… Julien Paluku, ministre congolais du Commerce, rentre d'une visite très fructueuse d'Abou Dhabi : « Nous exploitons une disponibilité qui est à même de devoir nous accompagner aux côtés d'autres partenariats que nous avons tissés avec d'autres pays à travers le monde. » Abou Dhabi s'est imposé comme l'un des principaux partenaires commerciaux de la RDC, car l'un de ses points forts provient de sa capacité à investir dans les projets. « Pour qu'elle se développe après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, l'Europe a bénéficié d'un plan Marshall. Des milliards de dollars ont été investis pour que l'Europe puisse recouvrer sa santé », rappelle le ministre. « Et donc la RDC aussi, après tous ces moments de turbulences, est à la recherche de capitaux frais et se dirige vers des capitaux frais. Et les Émirats arabes unis constituent une destination importante où les capitaux sont disponibles pour pouvoir échanger avec nous et transformer notre potentiel en richesse. C'est donc dans ce sens que nous nous tournons vers les Émirats arabes unis », explique-t-il. À lire aussiLa RDC et les Émirats arabes unis ont signé un accord économique global à Abou Dhabi Les Émirats adoptent « une approche business to business » De nombreux dirigeants africains se sont succédé à Abou Dhabi ces derniers mois. Pour Oscar Lafay – ex-consultant senior de chez Deloitte, la percée des Émirats arabes unis est nette. « Ce qu'on observe avec cette percée émiratie, c'est la fin d'un monopole des puissances traditionnelles, analyse l'expert. En quatre ans, ils sont devenus le premier investisseur du continent avec plus de 110 milliards d'euros injectés. Et ils sont devenus en effet le grand argentier, là où le FMI ou les banques de développement sont plus lentes. » Autre aspect plus politique, les Émirats ont l'avantage d'avoir la neutralité postcoloniale. « C'est un grand atout puisqu'ils n'ont aucun passif historique sur le continent et ils proposent donc une approche business to business qui est très attrayante pour les différents acteurs africains », poursuit Oscar Lafay. « Et enfin, ils ont un pragmatisme transactionnel, avec une agilité pure qui leur permet d'investir là où les autres ont peur, comme récemment au Burkina, où les questions sécuritaires ou politiques ne leur font pas peur », souligne-t-il. À lire aussiKinshasa mise sur un partenariat avec Abou Dhabi pour reprendre la main sur l'or de l'Est de la RDC Un puissant réseau d'entreprises détenu par l'État Et pour faire avancer cette ambition, les Émirats s'appuient sur leur puissant réseau d'entreprises : « Il faut comprendre que ce réseau d'entreprises est finalement un réseau étatique, puisque l'influence aux Émirats arabes unis d'Abou Dhabi sur le business est très puissante. Et donc ces entreprises sont des leviers pour le pouvoir émirati afin de s'implanter durablement en Afrique. Ce qui est important avec les entreprises émiraties, c'est de comprendre leur capitalisation. Souvent plus de 20 à 30 %, voire plus, du capital est détenu par l'État. Donc, dans ce cas-là, ces entreprises sont des leviers étatiques. » Les Émirats arabes unis semblent bien déterminés à profiter du contexte international de recomposition des partenariats commerciaux et de la baisse drastique de l'aide publique au développement.

The balance of global power changed profoundly over the course of the twentieth century, above all with the economic and political rise of Asia. Asia after Europe: Imagining a Continent in the Long Twentieth Century (Harvard UP, 2024) is a bold new interpretation of the period, focusing on the conflicting and overlapping ways in which Asians have conceived their bonds and their roles in the world. Tracking the circulation of ideas and people across colonial and national borders, Sugata Bose explores developments in Asian thought, art, and politics that defied Euro-American models and defined Asianness as a locus of solidarity for all humanity.Impressive in scale, yet driven by the stories of fascinating and influential individuals, Asia after Europe examines early intimations of Asian solidarity and universalism preceding Japan's victory over Russia in 1905; the revolutionary collaborations of the First World War and its aftermath, when Asian universalism took shape alongside Wilsonian internationalism and Bolshevism; the impact of the Great Depression and Second World War on the idea of Asia; and the persistence of forms of Asian universalism in the postwar period, despite the consolidation of postcolonial nation-states on a European model.Diverse Asian universalisms were forged and fractured through phases of poverty and prosperity, among elites and common people, throughout the span of the twentieth century. Noting the endurance of nationalist rivalries, often tied to religious exclusion and violence, Bose concludes with reflections on the continuing potential of political thought beyond European definitions of reason, nation, and identity.

Ces crises en feraient oublier la thématique de ce sommet, à savoir l'eau, dont 400 millions de personnes en sont privées.
Send a textOne mythical bird, several wings:although this is no myth, but the monstrous reality of the governance of our planet. While we are being kept distracted with pseudo wars between the US, Russia, and China, the state heads of these nations are colluding behind the scenes, unified in one agenda. All three are signatories to the UN's agenda, Project 2030. Russia and China align with the exact same digital goals as the West. We are not on the verge of a nuclear war, or “alien invasion”. The real battle is here: Project 2030. We must awaken and rise to safeguard human privacy, freedom and consciousness.While being distracted by the borders of separation, they are skillfully casting a net around us. We are being systematically corralled into a cage. Project 2030 is the most elevated global agenda of colonization wherein we are being gathered as assets of world governance. We must if we are to survive, reclaim our sovereignty. Our history of colonization is still the functioning agenda except it has advanced beyond the beyond of geopolitical control strategies: Earlier, the colonizers insatiable appetite centered on degrading and profiting ancient sovereign nations. At the Berlin Conference 1884-1885, with Britain and France at the helm, 15 European countries set out to dissect the Continent of Africa into 55 nations. arbitrary borders were drawn disregarding cultural tropes. They established boundaries without African consent or regard for ethnic, linguistic, or social structures, separated tribes and combined hostile groups, leading to lasting ethnic strife and political violence. With France coveting 500 billions dollars each year in colonial taxes from Africa, the wealth stolen from plundering Africa would exceed more 50 trillion dollars to date. As Colonization continued, Britain protected its imperialistic agenda by dividing India into two countries. Creating Pakistan was a decisive move to counteracting a potentially strong, unified India. Pakistan was also the ally it needed to protect western interests. The region of Pakistan is the bridge toward oil-rich regions in Iran and Iraq. In implementing the "Radcliffe Line", they split provinces, districts, rivers, and homes leading to one of history's largest human migrations, with roughly 14 million people displaced and over a million killed in communal violence. By the time they left India they had plundered and stolen more than 42 trillion pounds from her.Now to Project 2030: we are witnessing Colonization uplevelled to a grander scale, a more insidious global mission..a methodology sharpened to control your psyche, your conscious human identity by rendering you a digital asset in the grand schema of things. The cast net that is hovering over our heads goes unnoticed because our attention is fastened to the prefabricated chaos, scandals wars, and alien invasion threats. The truth is, we are being herded, harnessed as commodities of the deep state.

Marcus' What You Know 'Bout That trivia game for Monday February 9th, 2026.
durée : 00:03:43 - La Chronique du Grand Continent - par : Gilles Gressani
Depuis ce mercredi 4 février 2026, une quarantaine de délégations africaines sont à Washington, aux États-Unis, pour un sommet sur les minerais critiques. Une réunion à laquelle doit notamment assister la RDC en présence du président Félix Tshisekedi. D'autres délégations venant de Guinée et du Kenya, entre autres, sont également attendues pour ce sommet. L'Afrique regorge de richesses dont dépend l'avenir de la transition énergétique. Fini le pétrole, on parle désormais de coltan, de gallium, de cobalt et bien d'autres minerais stratégiques désormais au centre de la compétition mondiale. Ce matin, notre grand invité Afrique est Guillaume Pitron, journaliste et chercheur associé à l'Institut des relations internationales et stratégiques (IRIS). Il répond aux questions de Sidy Yansané. RFI : En 2018 vous sortiez le livre-enquête La guerre des métaux rares (éd. Les liens qui libèrent). À l'époque, ce qu'on appelle désormais les terres rares et minerais critiques n'étaient pas du tout connus du grand public. Désormais, ils sont dans toutes les bouches. Peut-on dire que la guerre que vous annonciez a commencé ? Guillaume Pitron : Elle avait déjà commencé en 2018 et elle ne fait que s'intensifier. Parce qu'on a toujours davantage besoin de ces métaux critiques. Des métaux appelés critiques car il y a des risques de rupture d'approvisionnement compte tenu de leur production tenue par seulement quelques pays, dont la Chine. Leur consommation a explosé ces dernières années car ces matériaux sont nécessaires pour fabriquer des moteurs, des voitures électriques, des turbines d'éoliennes, mais également pour l'électronique, pour le secteur de la défense. Et puis, les pays occidentaux n'ont pas beaucoup agi ces huit dernières années pour diversifier leurs approvisionnements. Or, la guerre commerciale lancée par le président Donald Trump a forcé la Chine à sortir sa carte maîtresse : cesser ses exportations de terres rares. Cela crée une énorme inquiétude dans le monde occidental, parce qu'on n'a pas de plan B pour faire tourner nos économies. Vous diriez que les pays africains en tirent profit autant sur le plan économique qu'énergétique ? À mon avis, ils n'en tirent pas assez profit. D'abord parce qu'un gisement n'est pas une mine. Dire qu'on a un gisement de terres rares ou de lithium ou de cobalt ne veut pas dire qu'on l'a exploité. Or, exploiter un gisement et ouvrir une mine, ça met du temps. Deuxièmement, une fois que l'exploitation commence se pose la question de la juste répartition des bénéfices. Qui va travailler dans la mine ? Des Chinois ou des Africains ? Qui va raffiner le minerai ? Et où ? A priori, le minerai sera transporté en Chine pour être raffiné sur place et sa valeur ajoutée sera donc transférée à la Chine. Comment se passe la répartition des gains entre les Africains et les Chinois après que le minerai a été extrait et éventuellement raffiné ? Donc l'objectif pour l'Afrique demain, c'est de faire ce qu'a fait la Chine : devenir un continent où se trouvent des mines accompagnées de raffineries, d'usines de transformation et de fabrication de composants et de batteries. L'Amérique de Donald Trump est en pleine offensive sur le continent, c'est le moins qu'on puisse dire. Washington reçoit en ce moment même plusieurs délégations africaines. Peut-on parler d'un nouveau rapport de forces autour des richesses africaines, ou alors est-ce business as usual ? Je dirais que c'est business as usual. Et, pardon de le dire, c'est une forme de néocolonisation mais cette fois-ci repeinte à la sauce verte. L'avantage de l'Afrique, c'est qu'elle a pour elle une histoire qu'elle ne veut pas répéter. Et elle a aussi pour elle une ribambelle de pays acheteurs de ces matériaux comme la Chine, les Européens, les Américains pour ne citer qu'eux . Des pays clients qu'ils vont pouvoir mettre en concurrence. Donc l'Afrique a entre ses mains certaines cartes à son avantage pour pouvoir choisir ses partenaires qui, en échange de ses minerais, lui fourniront le plus de savoir-faire et le plus de technologie au meilleur prix. « Eviter les erreurs du passé, un néocolonialisme vert »… Pensez-vous qu'il y a encore un risque que l'Afrique rate le train de la transition énergétique en subissant les pressions des puissances extérieures ? Mais c'est tout à fait possible et c'est même plausible et probable. Et j'en veux pour exemple le cas de la RDC. Aujourd'hui, la RDC est un scandale géologique, c'est un pays qui concentre énormément de ressources sous la forme de gisements et qui notamment exploite un métal phare de la transition énergétique : le cobalt. Il n'y a pas de voiture électrique sans cobalt, il n'y a pas de téléphone portable sans cobalt. La RDC concentre les deux tiers des ressources mondiales de cobalt. Ce cobalt aujourd'hui est produit par la RDC mais n'est pas transformé sur place. Il est, pour 80 % de ce cobalt, sorti de la RDC et raffiné en Chine. Toute la valeur ajoutée du minerai sort du pays. Donc aujourd'hui, concrètement, vous avez une situation d'une considérable iniquité dans laquelle la RDC se fait, pardon de le dire, complètement plumer par la Chine, car Kinshasa n'a pas été capable de faire valoir ses intérêts face à la Chine. C'est une situation concrète qui montre que le néocolonialisme se répète avec d'autres matières premières, avec d'autres pays aux pratiques néocoloniales. Et c'est précisément cette situation congolaise autour du cobalt qu'il ne faut surtout pas répéter en Guinée, au Congo, en Algérie, en Afrique du Sud, etc. pour peu que l'Afrique veuille réellement devenir un grand continent, profitant de tous les effets potentiellement bénéfiques de la transition énergétique.

Chaque jour, en moins de 10 minutes, un résumé de l'actualité du jour. Rapide, facile, accessible.
Anne Boleyn is so often remembered at the height of drama, standing at the centre of Henry VIII's court, caught in politics, passion, and tragedy. But Anne did not appear from nowhere. Before the scandals, the Reformation, and the dramatic fall, there was a child, shaped by powerful families, privilege, education, and expectation. In this episode, I explore the world that formed Anne Boleyn - her lineage, identity, upbringing, and early surroundings at Blickling and Hever. Far from the myth of a “low-born girl who rose too high”, Anne belonged to three great dynasties: • the Boleyns - wealthy, ambitious, rising through land and service • the Butlers of Ormond - one of the greatest Anglo-Irish noble houses • the Howards - ancient English aristocracy with royal blood Through these families we uncover: • how Anne's status and upbringing shaped her confidence and outlook • what her childhood world looked like in elite Tudor households • the roles of Blickling and Hever in her early life • how her education prepared her for courts across Europe • why understanding her origins changes how we see her later story This episode traces Anne's background up to her departure to the Continent, setting the stage for the next chapter of her life, and the making of the woman who would one day change English history. Let me know in the comments what surprised you most about Anne's early life, and whether you think her upbringing has been misunderstood in popular history. This is part of my new deep-dive Anne Boleyn series, designed to tell her story with context, nuance, and humanity, so please make sure you're subscribed to my channel and have hit the notification bell so you don't miss my other episodes.

Today, in a special bonus episode, we bring you a panel Francis Dearnley recently moderated at the Frontline Club in London – a renowned meeting place for anyone passionate about foreign affairs, hosting regular events with guests from think tanks, journalism, the humanitarian sector, and many more.The discussion features leading experts on various dimensions of the war: Christopher Miller (Chief Ukraine Correspondent, Financial Times), Dr Jack Watling (Senior Research Fellow for Land Warfare, RUSI), and Orysia Lutsevych OBE (Head of the Ukraine Forum, Chatham House). Though recorded a few weeks ago, the conversation feels not just relevant, but prescient, in light of recent developments. Topics include: what security guarantees Ukraine wants versus what it actually needs; the manpower challenges facing both Russia and Ukraine; the levers available to pressure Moscow; how a ceasefire can be either a remedy or a poison depending on its terms; the declining US role and Europe's response; hybrid threats across the Continent...and the terrifying cost of delay.Speakers:Christopher Miller (Chief Ukraine Correspondent, The Financial Times)Dr Jack Watling (Senior Research Fellow for Land Warfare, Royal United Services Institute)Orysia Lutsevych OBE (Head of the Ukraine Forum at Chatham House)Learn more about The Frontline Club:https://www.frontlineclub.com/ Hosted on Acast.
