A escalada do conflito entre Israel e Irã contribui para um mundo mais seguro e ‘faz um trabalho para o planeta’, ainda que países não admitam, avalia o embaixador de Israel no Brasil, Daniel Zonshine, em entrevista à Rádio Eldorado. De acordo com o porta-voz, o enriquecimento de urânio e a ampliação do programa nuclear não são os únicos riscos que o país traz ao Oriente Médio. “O Irã também apoiou forças terroristas radicais no mundo todo. O fato de obrigá-lo a avaliar o caminho contribui para um mundo mais seguro do que já foi, mas muitos países não vão admitir isso”. A influência dos EUA na arena internacional é classificada como “significativa” e pode contribuir positivamente para a resolução do conflito, segundo Zonshine. “Depois dos passos militares, é preciso uma solução diplomática para tirar parte da ameaça iraniana sobre Israel”, explica, não desassociando totalmente a ideia do fim do regime de 46 anos em Teerã. “Não é meta da operação. Se o povo iraniano decidir que o regime chegou ao fim, apoiaremos a ideia”. Ao ser questionado sobre potenciais mediadores no conflito, o embaixador citou o Egito e a Arábia Saudita como possíveis atores importantes, além de reconhecer o papel econômico e de influência dos países do Golfo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

En la primera hora de Capital Intereconomía repasamos toda la actualidad de la mañana en titulares con Susana Criado y Rubén Gil. Después ponemos el foco en la última hora de los mercados en Asia y Europa y repasamos lo sucedido en la última sesión de Wall Street. Para realizar el primer análisis del día contamos con Eduardo Bolinches, analista de Invertia. Después repasamos las principales portadas de la prensa económica, nacional e internacional para contar sus titulares. Y El profesor Luciano Zaccara, experto en política del Golfo, ha destacado en los micrófonos de Capital Intereconomía el impacto directo de los ataques a refinerías e infraestructuras clave del petróleo, recordando precedentes como la guerra Irán-Irak. Subraya que la industria petrolera es vital para la economía iraní y expresa preocupación por la falta de una acción internacional efectiva para frenar la escalada del conflicto.

El petróleo va a seguir presionado por la escalada entre Israel e Irán y los mercados se preparan para vigilar su precio. Luciano Zaccara, profesor asociado de investigación en política del Golfo en la Universidad de Qatar, ha señalado cómo tras la subida de entre 5 y 6 dólares, en el precio del oro negro, tras 3 días de ataques, la presión no se ve atenuada. En la entrevista en Radio Intereconomía ha hecho especial énfasis en cómo los ataques alcanzan refinerías e instalaciones de petróleo, junto con otros puntos estratégicos militares. El entrevistado ha recordado cómo en la anterior guerra donde estuvo involucrada Irán, entonces, con Irak, la industria petrolera fue la más castigada porque se quería castigar a sus dos economías y ha subrayado cómo el petróleo es lo que más dinero da a Irán. En cuanto a lo que puede pasar, no se muestra optimista, en un escenario donde "no hay un acción concreta en el mundo para frenar la situación, más allá de los llamamientos a la desescalada".

Ora è ufficiale: nel 2027 Napoli ospiterà l’America’s Cup, il trofeo velico più antico e prestigioso al mondo. Ma il Golfo di Napoli è da sempre una delle grandi culle mondiali della vela, al punto da aver già ospitato le competizioni veliche di un’Olimpiade, quella di Roma 1960. Ne parliamo oggi a Olympia con Davide Tizzano, presidente della Federazione Italiana Canottaggio, pluricampione olimpico e che ha pure regatato in Coppa America a bordo del Moro di Venezia, che sfiorò la vittoria finale; con Giovanni Bruno, editorialista e commentatore di Skysport, ripercorreremo le gare veliche proprio dell’Olimpiade romana, mentre la presidente di Unimpresa, Giovanna Ferrara, ci aiuterà a capire l’impatto economico stimato per l’edizione napoletana dell’America’s Cup. olympia@radio24.it

Cabo Verde defendeu a criação de centros de excelência nos países lusófonos insulares para uma liderança partilhada e sustentável da economia azul. À margem da 3.ª Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre o Oceano (UNOC3), o Ministro do Mar, Jorge Santos, afirmou que estes centros vão permitir “fazer conjuntamente a investigação oceanográfica” e fixar dados fundamentais para a gestão sustentável do oceano. Trata-se de uma iniciativa que abrange os SIDS (Pequenos Estados Insulares em Desenvolvimento) lusófonos e foi apresentada esta quinta-feira, 12 de Junho, a bordo do navio norueguês Statsraad Lehmkuhl e que pretende o envolvimento da academia, da formação profissional e da investigação. É uma iniciativa importante dos SIDS lusófonos: Cabo Verde, São Tomé, Guiné-Bissau - que também tem uma vasta área de ilhas também importantes. Mas também é extensivo a Timor-Leste. É um centro de excelência para investigação, para ciência e para a educação da ciência marinha. Estamos na era dos dados e os dados têm um custo, mas também têm preço. Por isso é que temos que liderar o processo dos dados a nível nacional. Para termos os skills necessários para posicionar e estarmos à altura de trazer parceiros internacionais. Sobre a participação das comunidades na criação de zonas marinhas protegidas, o ministro do Mar foi claro: “As comunidades piscatórias e costeiras são importantes, primeiro na decisão da criação das zonas protegidas. Eles é que têm que estar na linha de frente para entender e fazer essa mudança de atitude. Portanto, essa decisão nunca pode ser tomada sem a participação das próprias comunidades piscatórias e costeiras.” Longe de proibir a actividade económica, a criação de áreas protegidas implica “fazer defeso em determinados períodos, onde não se pode pescar determinadas espécies ou explorar a nível das profundidades. Definir as espécies protegidas.” Em Cabo Verde, isso já se aplica, por exemplo, à tartaruga, à cavala preta e à lagosta rosa. “Porque se nós conseguíssemos proibir qualquer pescador de pescar uma fêmea, nós estaríamos a dar uma grande contribuição à humanidade, porque são os reprodutores.” O modelo proposto é de co-gestão? ou seja, “envolver as comunidades, porque sem isso é impossível.” Cabo Verde pretende proteger 30% da sua área marítima até 2030, combinando zonas costeiras e offshore. Para vigiar e fiscalizar as costas, Cabo Verde conta com parcerias com os Estados Unidos da América, Brasil, União Europeia, Portugal e Alemanha, na defesa e controlo de navios que praticam tráficos ilícitos no Atlântico. O país acolhe o comando do G6, “o grupo dos países saelianos. E aí é que está sediado o comando para controlar toda a área da pirataria até o Golfo da Guiné.” Mas o foco não está apenas nas embarcações externas: “Temos que ser consequentes não só com os que vêm de fora, mas com os que estão internamente.” Isso inclui a instalação de sistemas de comunicação (VMS) em cada embarcação para permitir o controlo da pesca”, em articulação com todos os parceiros. Jorge Santos sublinhou ainda que o mar é mais do que um recurso a proteger: é uma oportunidade de desenvolvimento económico. Hoje, a centralidade que nós damos em Cabo Verde é a economia azul. Mas não é só em termos da protecção dos nossos oceanos ou do nosso ecossistema. É conhecer o nosso mar e explorar com sustentabilidade a pesca, o turismo, os desportos náuticos.

Pequeños, veloces y mortíferos, los torpederos irrumpieron en el siglo XIX para desafiar a los colosos acorazados, hasta entonces dueños indiscutibles de los océanos. Su arma secreta: el torpedo, un invento revolucionario que convirtió a la humilde embarcación en una amenaza letal. Con un coste irrisorio comparado con los monstruos blindados, estos 'asesinos rápidos' demostraron que un solo impacto bien colocado podía hundir un buque insignia millonario. Desde Port Arthur hasta el Golfo de Leyte, su eficacia reescribió las reglas de la guerra naval. ¿El paralelismo actual? Los drones: pequeños, baratos y capaces de desafiar a los gigantes de siempre. La historia se repite… solo cambian las armas. ¿Un paralelismo con los actuales drones?

In concomitanza con l'uscita in italiano del suo ultimo libro, intitolato Un giorno tutti diranno di essere stati contro, ecco un'intensa intervista allo scrittore e giornalista egiziano-statunitense Omar El Akkad. El Akkad riflette sul collasso morale dell'Occidente, incapace di chiamare “genocidio” ciò che sta avvenendo a Gaza per timore delle conseguenze politiche e personali. Denuncia l'ipocrisia di leader e istituzioni che, pur vedendo l'orrore, scelgono il silenzio. L'autore parla da una posizione disillusa e profonda, maturata da reporter in Afghanistan, a Guantanamo, durante la prima guerra del Golfo e durante le sollevazioni arabe popolari del 2010-2011. Figlio del colonialismo, cresciuto tra culture diverse, El Akkad incarna il trauma dell'esilio e la frattura identitaria, oggi aggravata dal massacro in Palestina, che considera il punto di rottura definitivo. Il suo libro è un atto di coscienza, più che un tentativo di persuasione, nato da una crisi personale e morale che lo ha spinto a non voltarsi più dall'altra parte.undefined

Ogni anno migliaia di giovani etiopi, somali ed eritrei affrontano la “Eastern Migration Route”, una delle rotte migratorie più battute e meno raccontate del mondo. Dal cuore dell'Etiopia fino alle coste del Golfo di Aden, passando per Somaliland e Puntland, inseguono il miraggio dell'Arabia Saudita, meta finale di un viaggio pieno di sofferenze, inganni e pericoli.Secondo l'agenzia delle Nazioni Unite per la migrazione, IOM, almeno 96.670 persone sono passate dal Corno d'Africa allo Yemen nel corso del 2023, circa un terzo in più rispetto al 2022. Circa il 95% di questi migranti proveniva dall'Etiopia.In questo reportage realizzato sul campo, ascoltiamo le voci dei migranti, dei familiari rimasti a casa, degli attivisti e degli operatori umanitari. Cerchiamo di capire quali sono le ragioni che spingono tutti questi giovani a partire e come i trafficanti sfruttano il fenomeno. Un viaggio segnato da illusioni, sofferenze, abusi e dalle celle sovraffollate delle prigioni saudite dove molti finiscono per poi essere rimpatriati.

De Irak a Yugoslavia, de Libia a Afganistán, de Siria a Yemen, el Tornado ha actuado con más o menos fortuna en gran parte de los conflictos modernos más famosos. En la Guerra del Golfo comprobó que no era la plataforma de combate que pretendía, y se necesitaron muchos cambios y parches para convertirlo en un avión realmente competitivo. En el resto de conflictos, tuvo una suerte dispar, aunque demostró que todavía se podía contar con él para efectuar destructivos raids con bombas guiadas. Hoy ya se están retirando los últimos Tornados, y está previsto que no lleguen a la década de los 30. Ucrania ha pedido que les donen los Tornado alemanes e italianos, pero ¿Qué papel podría jugar un sistema de armas que parece ya anticuado en este conflicto? Te lo cuenta Dani CarAn, con ayuda de Julio Caronte, María Vázquez y Félix Lancho. 🎰 SORTEO FANS MAYO'25 👉 https://bit.ly/SORTEOCBFANS0525 Libro: Desperta Ferro - PANZER Vol.1 (1939-1940).

Ao fim de mais de dois meses de bloqueio da Faixa de Gaza, que nos trouxeram imagens e vídeos em catadupa de uma catástrofe humanitária de proporções inimagináveis, o Governo israelita permitiu esta semana a entrada “limitada” e “temporária” de ajuda aos palestinianos. Mas deixou de fora as Nações Unidas, temendo a intromissão do Hamas, e optou por mandatar uma organização privada norte-americana a assumir uma tarefa que, segundo a organização mundial, “não está alinhada com os princípios humanitários fundamentais”. No episódio desta semana do podcast Diplomatas, analisámos os planos políticos, humanitários e militares de Israel para o enclave, no contexto do conflito regional mais alargado (com o Irão), da pressão internacional crescente sobre Benjamin Netanyahu e das dinâmicas internas que impedem o Governo israelita de colapsar. “Netanyahu está a empurrar um país que tinha a solidariedade das democracias, e do mundo em geral, para um beco sem saída. Está a transformar Israel num estado quase pária por causa de Gaza”, diz a jornalista Teresa de Sousa. Neste programa conversámos ainda sobre o SAFE, o novo instrumento financeiro da União Europeia para investimentos no sector da defesa e sobre a confirmação do Governo da Alemanha de que foi dada autorização às Forças Armadas da Ucrânia para usarem armas alemãs de longo alcance contra alvos dentro do território da Federação Russa. Apesar dos esforços europeus, o investigador Carlos Gaspar (IPRI-NOVA) nota que nem todos os “responsáveis europeus compreenderam que estão em guerra” e diz que é necessária uma participação do Pentágono dos EUA para ajudar a definir as prioridades ao abrigo do SAFE. Teresa de Sousa traça um “paralelismo dramático” entre os conflitos em Gaza e na Ucrânia: “Só os Estados Unidos têm força para torcer o braço a Putin ou para torcer o braço a Netanyahu. E a questão que enfrentamos, neste momento, é que o Presidente americano [Trump] tem muito pouco interesse em torcer o braço a Putin.” Para finalizar, olhámos para a cimeira da ASEAN, em Kuala Lumpur (Malásia), que contou com a participação da China e dos membros do Conselho de Cooperação do Golfo, à luz da competição geopolítica entre Pequim e Washington. “A vantagem da China neste domínio, em relação aos EUA, é a sua disponibilidade para trabalhar com instituições multilaterais, mesmo que seja apenas um gesto simbólico”, sublinha Carlos Gaspar. “Os gestos simbólicos também contam na política internacional.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finalizamos con este capítulo la segunda parte de la audioserie titulada "Érase una vez el Este", en un último trayecto que nos llevará por tierras africanas a Nigeria. Como ya sabéis esta serie o audioserie consiste en varios capítulos en los que se mezclan la realidad y la ficción y en los que hablamos de hechos históricos y de sucesos que están de plena actualidad. Y este proyecto de "Érase una vez el Este", es idea, como ya sabéis, de dos grandes amigos de LA BIBLIOTECA DE LA HISTORIA, como son Juan Lamas, malagueño, historiador, escritor y guionista, y Verónica, barcelonesa, actriz y cantante amateur y gran apasionada por la historia. Ellos son los artífices de esto y les agradezco su trabajo. Os dejo con el duodécimo y último capítulo titulado "Nigeria y Boko Haram". Han sido, hasta hoy, 24 episodios de "Érase una vez el Éste". Los que nos vais siguiendo desde hace más de dos años ya sabéis que todo esto empezó en la guerra de Ucrania. Quizá por cansancio informativo, muchos pidieron cambiar de escenario usando el mismo formato: mezclar ficción con audios de noticias reales de medios de comunicación reales; pero cambiando de escenario. Por eso agradecer a todos los que habéis seguido las desventuras de Dimitri y Aleksandra en esta segunda parte. Ya se sabe, porque siempre es igual, que segundas partes difícilmente serán como la primera. En éste caso además realizamos una aproximación histórica a cada escenario. Visitamos Birmania...Myanmar. Allí nos vimos acorralados en una aldea en mitad de la selva. Luego viajamos en un lujoso Audi hasta Orense y su rico pasado. Teniendo presente la huella del Narco en España (Galicia, Portugal y la actualidad en Estrecho de Gibraltar). Y después hicimos un crucero a la siempre castigada Haití.. sus peculiaridades históricas.. y porqué es tan importante conocer el pasado de un país para comprender su situación presente. Por último hicimos un breve recorrido a tres lugares calientes de África: Mali y el Sahel.. Uganda, su guerrilla y sus problemas de los últimos 30 años.. y ahora volvemos en ésta última entrega de la segunda temporada al continente africano Y analizaremos la enormidad y complejidad de un país como Nigeria... Con las terribles noticias que siguen llegando desde el Golfo de Guinea. Y es que limitar el problema a una cuestión étnica es ser demasiado simple, y hablar en el siglo XXI de nuevas guerras de Religión como si estuviéramos en el siglo XVII puede parecer realmente absurdo.. pero quizá no lo sea tanto: En el Sudán y el Sahel el problema es Étnico.. musulmanes blancos contra otros musulmanes negros... pero en países como República Centroafricana, Uganda, Congo, Sudán del Sur y el polvorín Nigeriano el problema es directamente religioso y tribal. Musulmanes Sunitas contra Chiitas.. y a su vez enfrentados a los cristianos.. ya sean protestantes, evangélicos o católicos por el control y posesión de la escasa tierra cultivable. Y en ese caos, creció el monstruo de Boko Haram.. una bestia alimentada de odio étnico y religioso y un enorme problema al norte de una Nigeria cada vez más superpoblada y difícil de controlar. Para la siguiente.. se admiten sugerencias... Volver al origen del Éste de Europa? Los conflictos de Centroamérica? El difícil equilibrio de poder de los ex países de la URSS y su relación con la metrópoli Rusa? Os leemos. Muchas gracias.

La Mesa Internacional con Susana Mangana, Leo Harari y Gonzalo Pérez del Castillo. *** La gira del presidente Donald Trump por el Golfo Pérsico, que culminó el fin de semana pasado, marcó un giro significativo en la política exterior de Estados Unidos en Oriente Medio. Tradicionalmente, Israel ha sido considerado uno de los aliados más cercanos de Washington en la región. Sin embargo, en esta ocasión Trump optó por avanzar en cuestiones clave como el acuerdo nuclear con Irán, la situación en Siria y Yemen, y la relación con los países del Golfo, sin consultar ni coordinar con el primer ministro israelí, Benjamín Netanyahu. Esta decisión generó tensiones y cuestionamientos sobre el futuro de la alianza entre Estados Unidos e Israel. Por su lado, Trump considera a los países del Golfo como lugares confiables —y con una riqueza considerable— para hacer negocios. "El nacimiento de un Medio Oriente moderno ha sido obra de los propios habitantes de la región, de personas que están aquí, que han vivido aquí toda su vida y que han desarrollado sus propios países soberanos, han perseguido sus propias visiones y han trazado sus propios destinos". ¿Qué consecuencias puede tener esta movida de Trump? ¿Abrirá nuevas oportunidades de diálogo entre Estados Unidos y países tradicionalmente enfrentados a Israel, como Irán o Qatar? ¿Cómo repercutirá en el equilibrio de poder en Medio Oriente?

En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Juan Manuel de los Reyes y Eugenio Garibay, analizan a fondo los beneficios y repercusiones de la reciente visita de Donald Trump a Arabia Saudita y otros países del Golfo. El episodio destaca el histórico acuerdo entre Boeing y Qatar Airways, la mayor venta de aviones de fuselaje ancho en la historia de la compañía, así como el impacto de los nuevos tratos tecnológicos, como el acuerdo preliminar para que Emiratos Árabes Unidos importe chips avanzados de Nvidia. Ambos movimientos reflejan cómo la región está posicionándose como un actor clave en la economía global y la innovación tecnológica, mientras Estados Unidos busca fortalecer alianzas estratégicas y comerciales en Medio Oriente.En la segunda parte, Juan Manuel y Eugenio profundizan en el impacto de este entorno político y económico sobre los mercados financieros, especialmente en renta fija, renta variable y tasas de interés. Analizan cómo la volatilidad política, las nuevas políticas económicas y los acuerdos internacionales están generando incertidumbre y oportunidades en los mercados, afectando las expectativas de los inversionistas y la respuesta de la Reserva Federal.

El mandatario estadounidense Donald Trump termina este jueves su gira oficial en el golfo Pérsico, en lo que representa un vuelco de la política estadounidense con los países del Medio Oriente, pues su viaje se ha centrado en los acuerdos comerciales, mas no en la diplomacia. Que un presidente estadounidense elija Oriente Medio como su primera gira oficial y no Canadá o México como suelen hacerlo, puede interpretarse como una señal de prioridades en su política exterior. Trump eligió una región con fondos de riqueza y potencial de inversión donde unos cuantos hombres ejercen autoridad absoluta.El mandatario rompe los esquemas y dice estar en contra de cualquier intervención estadounidense en la región, como Washington lo ha hecho con Afganistán, Irak, Libia o Siria; “siempre y cuando se lleven bien económicamente”, según el análisis de Joshua Landis, director del centro de Estudios de Medio Oriente en la Universidad de Oklahoma, EE.UU.Para Trump es una cuestión de economía“Como lo expresó el presidente Trump, se trata de la economía, él quiere acuerdos con Arabia Saudita y los países del Golfo, y desconocemos qué más le han prometido a cambio” señala Landis. Uno de los primeros ofrecimientos que se conocieron por parte de Catar fue un avión nuevo y el líder Sirio Ahmed al Sharaa también le ha propuesto a Trump que empresas estadounidenses puedan reconstruir la infraestructura petrolera en su país. “Recordemos que Siria es un productor de petróleo, pero su infraestructura está completamente destruida y necesita miles de millones de dólares de inversión”, indicó el analista, quien asegura que la oferta es una oportunidad para que las empresas estadounidenses regresen a esta parte de Oriente Medio.Durante la visita, los países del golfo Pérsico han recibido elogios de Donald Trump por sus camellos, sus edificaciones en mármol, entre otros. Los líderes árabes, por su parte, decían sentirse honrados con la visita del mandatario estadounidense.El Medio Oriente busca seguridad nacionalEl director del centro de Estudios de Medio Oriente en la Universidad de Oklahoma señala que países como Arabia Saudita, Catar y Emiratos Árabes Unidos dependen de Washington para su seguridad. “Estados Unidos les proporciona armas, y una de sus principales exigencias es el uso de aviones F-35. Quieren aviones de combate y tecnología estadounidenses de vanguardia”, indicó.Landis recuerda el tratado que Estados Unidos tiene con Israel de ventaja militar cualitativa (QEM, por sus siglas en inglés) en el que Washington garantiza a Israel una tecnología militar que supera “cualquier combinación de gobiernos árabes que pudieran oponerse”. En ese sentido, países como Arabia Saudita y los Emiratos Árabes Unidos buscarían, por medio de estos tratados, obtener esta tecnología militar estadounidense de vanguardia, indica el analista, agregando que “sería una gran decepción para Israel”.Los cortejos financieros no han parado, Arabia Saudita, por ejemplo, prometió a Trump inversiones por 600.000 millones de dólares en ámbitos como la defensa y la inteligencia artificial y Qatar Airways, compañía que pertenece a la monarquía Catarí, hizo un pedido "récord" de 160 aviones a la empresa estadounidense Boeing, por un valor de más de 200.000 millones de dólares.

El presidente Donald Trump realiza esta semana una gira por Arabia Saudita, Qatar y Emiratos Árabes Unidos. En medio de un contexto crítico en Medio Oriente, el magnate priorizó los acuerdos económicos sobre la diplomacia. Además, dio visos de un giro en la relación de EE. UU. con Siria. ¿Qué buscaba y qué logró Trump en el primer viaje al exterior de su segundo mandato? Acuerdos comerciales, inversiones para EE. UU. y de armas en los países del Golfo Pérsico. Esos son los puntos que han centrado la primera gran gira internacional del presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, en su segundo mandato.Durante sus paradas, Trump se centró en impulsar las inversiones de los estados del Golfo, justo semanas después de una visita de sus hijos Eric y Donald Jr. a la zona para promover proyectos inmobiliarios y de criptomonedas.El viaje, que comenzó en Arabia Saudita y siguió por Qatar y Emiratos Árabes Unidos, incluyó uno de los anuncios menos esperados: Trump decidió levantar las sanciones contra Siria y se reunió con el presidente de facto del país, Ahmed al-Sharaa.El propio mandatario sirio, que lideró el grupo HTS, considerado como terrorista por Estados Unidos y el Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU por sus vínculos con Al-Qaeda, calificó de "histórico" el encuentro y apuntó a que es el primer paso para la reconstrucción del país tras años de guerra.En tanto, en Riad, Trump y el príncipe heredero Mohammed bin Salman firmaron acuerdos que, según la Casa Blanca, superan los 600.000 millones de dólares. Uno de esos pactos es por 142.000 millones para que Estados Unidos dote a Arabia Saudita de tecnología militar.Leer tambiénDe visita a los países del Golfo, Trump prioriza los negocios sobre la diplomacia¿Qué busca Trump en Medio Oriente? ¿Habrá un giro en la política de Washington con Siria?

Felipe Harman, director de la Agencia Nacional de Tierras (ANT) habló en 6AM sobre los municipios con riesgos de que el Clan del Golfo invada predios y se apodere de las fincas.

El Gobierno colombiano anunció este martes la captura de más de dos centenares de miembros del Clan del Golfo desde mediados de abril, en respuesta a la ofensiva violenta de esa banda narcotraficante conocida como “plan pistola”.  Para algunos analistas, este es un reflejo de la crisis de seguridad que atraviesa el país suramericano por, entre otras cosas, las fallas de los diálogos de paz. Desde el 15 de abril los ataques de los grupos ilegales y rebeldes se han cobrado la vida de al menos 18 policías y 17 militares, según el Gobierno. Esto es casi un asesinato de un miembro de la fuerza pública por día. Los crímenes son atribuidos principalmente al Clan del Golfo en el marco del denominado “plan pistola”. En respuesta a esta ofensiva, las autoridades han capturado a 217 miembros de ese grupo armado en las últimas tres semanas. Oscar Palma, especialista en seguridad y defensa y profesor en la Universidad del Rosario explica que “el clan del Golfo es una organización de sombrilla, como una especie de federación que incluye alianzas con organizaciones menores, con otra serie de grupos asociados a la estructura como tal y el plan pistola que el clan del Golfo está realizando actualmente se da justamente por la captura de uno de los miembros de su Estado Mayor, por así decirlo”.El Plan Pistola recuerda una célebre táctica que ya había utilizado el mismo Clan del Golfo en 2022, pero también, en los años 90, el narcotraficante Pablo Escobar.“Muchas veces, incluso estos asesinatos suceden cuando los miembros de las instituciones están por fuera de su actividad, es decir, no están en una operación específica de combate, pueden incluso estar de civil y sin embargo, son víctimas de este tipo de asesinatos. Es exactamente lo que estamos viendo hoy, particularmente en cabeza del clan del Golfo”, señala Palma.Para este especialista en seguridad y defensa en Bogotá, “el plan pistola” es una ilustración más de la degradación de la situación de orden público en Colombia. “Estamos viendo dinámicas que no veíamos desde hace muchos años, antes incluso del proceso de paz”.Para él, la crisis es consecuencia de procesos de paz que han fracasado, pero también de “unas fuerzas militares que han recibido la orden de no operar en contra de algunos grupos con los cuales supuestamente se tienen unas conversaciones de paz, pero que no han rendido frutos”. A esto, se le suma, según Palma, el aumento de la producción de cocaína en el País. “Es un momento muy gris en términos de seguridad, en términos de paz, en muchos de los territorios más remotos de Colombia. Y esta idea del plan pistola no es más, sino otro de los síntomas”, concluyó.

A esta hora estamos frente a la expectativa frente a las versiones que circulan en las que se señala que el Clan del Golfo, de poner fin al denominado ‘plan pistola’ contra la fuerza pública que ya cobra la vida de más de 20 uniformados en el país.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community.

These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

O Google Maps passará em território americano a chamar o Golfo do México de Golfo da América para atender a uma ordem executiva do presidente Donald Trump. Não adianta meio mundo achar a troca uma brincadeira e a presidente mexicana, Claudia Sheinbaum, ter rebatido que os Estados Unidos deveriam então se chamar América Mexicana para seguir um mapa-múndi de 1607. O mesmo mapa também já falava em Golfo do México 169 anos antes da fundação dos Estados Unidos. Mas, como o México não tem Google nem outra plataforma com mais de um bilhão de usuários, para boa parte das pessoas logo logo será mesmo Golfo da América. Pesquisas mostram que ChatGPT, DeepSeek e similares não são transparentes sobre informações básicas, como onde fica sua sede, quem são seus responsáveis e investidores, quanto receberam de financiamento. Nesse cenário, como ficam países que não têm plataformas nacionais de alcance global, como é o caso do Brasil? E mais: o que acontecerá com a História e a memória desses países diante de uma população cada vez mais conectada a LLMs estrangeiras globais que acredita mais no que encontra nos apps e sites de busca do que nos livros de História? As apresentadoras Luciana Garbin e Carolina Ercolin falam do tema nesta edição. O Mulheres Reais vai ao ar às segundas-feiras, a partir das 8h, no Jornal Eldorado. O podcast é apresentado por Carolina Ercolin e Luciana Garbin e está disponível em todas as plataformas de áudio.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
