While China has spent the past 12 years growing its friend circle through its $1 trillion Belt and Road infrastructure program, the U.S. has struggled to come up with a comprehensive response. Could President Trump's more aggressive approach to diplomacy mean Beijing will meet greater resistance, or will it open more doors for Xi Jinping? In the final episode of our three-part series, “Building Influence,” WSJ reporter Vera Bergengruen, Harvard Kennedy School's Rana Mitter and the Council on Foreign Relations' David Sacks discuss how the U.S. has tried to push back on Beijing's expanding footprint so far, and former Trump administration officials J. Peter Pham and David Malpass weigh in on how the president could counter China. Daniel Bach hosts.

Le Mining Indaba, l'incontournable sommet sur les mines en Afrique, s'est déroulé au début du mois dans la ville du Cap, en Afrique du Sud. Selon les estimations, le continent détient 30 % des réserves en minerais critiques, essentiels pour la transition énergétique. Parmi les grands habitués du salon : les Américains, qui envoient habituellement une importante délégation. Cette année, le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison Blanche semble modifier les dynamiques et les partenariats pourraient évoluer. Avec notre envoyée spéciale au Cap,La délégation américaine s'est réduite comme une peau de chagrin, cette année, tant sur la scène du Mining Indaba que dans les allées du salon. Seul représentant à prendre la parole : Scott Woodard, le secrétaire adjoint par intérim spécialisé sur les questions de transformation énergétique auprès du département d'État. Il est resté très vague sur la politique minière à venir. « Un des décrets signés par le président dès ses premiers jours au pouvoir concerne l'extraction et la transformation de minerais, surtout aux États-Unis. Mais si on le lit de plus près, il y est aussi fait mention, à de multiples reprises, des partenariats internationaux et de la coopération avec d'autres nations », a déclaré le diplomate.La nouvelle administration ne s'est pas encore totalement installée et on attend toujours la nomination de l'équipe Afrique de Donald Trump, bien que son ancien envoyé spécial pour le Sahel et les Grands Lacs, Peter Pham, soit pressenti. Selon les experts, le corridor de Lobito devrait continuer à être développé. La modernisation de cette ligne ferroviaire, pour faciliter le transport des minerais de la RDC et de la Zambie vers l'Angola afin de les exporter depuis la côte ouest du continent, rentre dans la logique de concurrence avec la Chine.À lire aussiLa posture souverainiste de Donald Trump séduit certains leaders africainsPoursuite des aides et garanties ?« Les compagnies continuent, mais elles ont souvent besoin de certains mécanismes d'aide de l'État américain, pour “dérisquer” certaines transactions qui pourraient être dans des pays compliqués, ou des nouveaux marchés », analyse Vincent Rouget du cabinet Control Risk. « On voyait souvent l'État américain intervenir, soit par le biais de la diplomatie, pour faciliter les échanges, les négociations, soit par le biais d'aides financières ou de garanties de prêt. Et là, on a un point d'incertitude : est-ce que ça va continuer ? Pour l'instant, c'est trop tôt pour le savoir », poursuit-il.Côté sud-africain, le ministre des Mines, Gwede Mantashe, souhaite durcir le ton, pour répondre au gel de l'aide américaine décidée par Donald Trump. « S'ils ne veulent plus nous donner d'argent, ne leur donnons pas de minerais. Nous avons des minerais sur ce continent, donc nous possédons quelque chose, nous ne sommes pas de simples mendiants. Nous devons utiliser cette richesse à notre avantage, en tant que continent », a-t-il affirmé fermement. Les doutes planent aussi au-dessus de la volonté des États-Unis de continuer à développer les chaînes de valeur ajoutée en Afrique, comme dans le cadre de l'accord signé avec la Zambie et la RDC, pour fabriquer sur place des batteries électriques.À lire aussiQuels sont les risques environnementaux liés à l'exploitation des minerais de la transition?

Aux États-Unis, c'est ce lundi 20 janvier que Donald Trump revient au pouvoir. Lors de son premier mandat, sa politique africaine n'avait pas laissé un souvenir impérissable. Jeff Hawkins a été l'ambassadeur des États-Unis en Centrafrique. Aujourd'hui, il est chercheur associé à l'IRIS, l'Institut de Relations Internationales et Stratégiques, et enseigne à Sciences Po Paris. RFI lui a demandé ce qui allait changer dans la politique africaine des États-Unis avec Donald Trump… RFI : Qu'est-ce qui va changer avec Donald Trump dans la politique africaine des États-Unis ?Jeff Hawkins : Il y a deux réponses à cette question. Il y a ce qu'on craint et il y a ce qu'on pourrait espérer. Et donc ce qu'on pourrait craindre, c'est une continuation, une reprise de la position de Donald Trump lors de son premier mandat, c'est-à-dire un désintéressement quasi total pour le continent, avec cette différence assez importante, c'est que, à l'époque, lors du premier mandat, la machine continuait à tourner. Donc, même si le président n'y avait jamais mis les pieds, même si le président rencontrait très peu de chefs d'État africains, il y avait quand même une diplomatie, une assistance, un Pentagone derrière qui continuaient à interagir, et à s'engager avec l'Afrique. Cette fois-ci, ce qu'on pourrait craindre, c'est que non seulement le président ne s'y intéresserait pas, mais tout ce qui vient derrière aussi, ça risque de s'effacer. Et notamment, je pense à un Africain très influent à Washington en ce moment. En l'occurrence, Elon Musk, qui est chargé de couper les budgets de façon dramatique. Je pourrais très bien envisager par exemple une coupe importante de l'assistance américaine vis-à-vis de l'Afrique et même un retrait des forces américaines du continent. Il en reste quand même 2000 au moment où on parle. Donc, ça c'est à craindre. Sinon, on peut espérer peut-être que, dans le contexte d'une nouvelle guerre froide avec la Chine, il va plus que la dernière fois, faire un peu attention à l'Afrique.Vu de Donald Trump, quels sont les pays africains qui comptent ?Déjà en pourrait dire que les pays pétroliers, leNigeria, l'Angola, ça pourrait l'intéresser. Le Congo avec ses ressources minérales : le coltan, le cobalt et tout ça. Sinon, peut-être les pays où les Chinois sont particulièrement implantés, ou alors les pays où les Chinois risqueraient de s'implanter militairement. Donc, à un certain moment, et ça, c'était pendant l'administration Biden, on avait parlé d'une base chinoise possible en Guinée équatoriale par exemple, et on a vu tout de suite l'administration s'activer autour de cette question.Vous avez parlé du Congo Kinshasa. L'administration Biden a été assez prudente ces derniers temps dans le conflit dans l'est de ce pays. Elle ne semble pas avoir exercé de pression particulière sur le Rwanda afin qu'il cesse son aide militaire aux rebelles du M 23. Qu'en sera-t-il à votre avis avec la nouvelle administration ?Je ne sais pas, il y a déjà quelques noms qui ont été cités comme les responsables pour l'Afrique dans la nouvelle administration, pour l'instant pas confirmés, mais qui sont là dont monsieur Peter Pham qui a été envoyé spécial sous Donald Trump, la première fois, pour les Grands lacs. Et donc si cette personne arrive au département d'État comme responsable pour l'Afrique, c'est quelqu'un qui connaît déjà les dossiers.Monsieur Pham qui est francophone ?Oui.L'un des échecs de Joe Biden en Afrique, c'est le basculement du Niger dans le camp de la Russie. Et le départ des troupes américaines de Niamey et d'Agadez. Est-ce que Donald Trump pourrait tenter un comeback au Sahel ?Ça, c'est une question très intéressante, surtout étant donné un peu l'effondrement de la position française dans la région. Franchement, la collaboration dans le domaine de la sécurité entre la France et les États-Unis a été assez forte en Afrique. Donc c'est non seulement le retrait des quelque 900 troupes américaines de Niamey, d'Agadez, mais c'est aussi le départ des Français du Mali, du Burkina Faso, du Niger et du Tchad.  Et donc, il y a une sorte de vide qui s'est créé, rempli notamment par les Russes, et je pense que l'administration Trump serait tentée d'intervenir un peu plus, sachant que Trump, on peut dire ce qu'on veut, mais ce n'est pas un interventionniste. Il est très peu attiré par des conflits à l'étranger.Est-ce que Wagner est un épouvantail aussi bien pour monsieur Trump que pour monsieur Biden ?Je l'espère bien. La présence russe sur le continent africain, c'est vraiment difficile. Contrairement aux Chinois qui représentent un concurrent réel et durable pour l'Amérique, la Russie, par contre, cherche à nous miner plutôt que d'établir des relations privilégiées avec les pays africains à proprement parler. Donc c'est vraiment dangereux, c'est sérieux et je pense qu'à Washington, on prend la menace de Wagner Group, d'Africa Corps, comme ça s'appelle maintenant, très au sérieux.À lire aussiLa posture souverainiste de Donald Trump séduit certains leaders africains

This podcast is about big ideas on how technology is making life better for people with vision loss. Today's big idea is: How will remote diagnostic tests change ophthalmology and vision care? It might be a foreign concept for some, but the specialists in today's episode, Dr. Peter Pham and Dr. Sean Ianchulev, founders of (Keep Your Sight, a nonprofit focused on remote diagnostic vision tests) share how they can conduct more reliable perimetry tests that help detect macular degeneration, glaucoma, and other conditions that lead to vision loss and eventually blindness —  remotely, while patients stay home. Developments like these in remote diagnostics are a stepping stone for the ways machine learning will impact the field of ophthalmology in the future. This episode also features Dr. Einar Stefansson and Dr. Arna Gudmundsdottir, developers of the app, Retina Risk, which helps with remote risk assessment of diabetic eye disease for people with diabetes, as well as Sherrill Jones, who lost her vision due to glaucoma.   The Big Takeaways: Retina Risk was created to help people with diabetes assess in real-time their individualized risk for sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy. The app was created back in 2009 and the concept of using technology and algorithms to calculate risk was still quite foreign to most people. What goes into taking a regular perimetry test today? Patients have to come into the office, wait, register, wait some more, get taken to a dark room to be positioned correctly, and after 20-30 minutes, you get a result. Now, there's an easier way: patients can take these tests at home. Why is telescreening so important? Dr. Pham and Dr. Ianchulev noticed it could take months for patients to be scheduled in for routine visual field tests. By that time, the glaucoma may have advanced, and in some cases, rapidly. There was an unmet need here and there was a better way to serve people quicker and more efficiently, especially people from rural communities who did not have readily available access to healthcare. Medicare did not allow for doctors to reimburse their services unless it was conducted within the physician's office. This led to a lot of roadblocks in telemedicine, despite the technology being available for the last 15-plus years. Thankfully, in December of 2020, policies were changed so that doctors would be reimbursed for remote patient monitoring.   Tweetables: “We know that our blindspot is 15 degrees away from fixation and, with simple trigonometry, you can now use that blindspot to help position patients correctly in front of the computer monitor. We can now use online technology to perform visual field tests.” — Dr. Peter Pham “It was our goal to do a hardware-free digital/virtual device. We felt in ophthalmology, we're kind of lucky. We are looking at a visual function. So perimetry lends itself to a fully virtual software as a service device.” — Dr. Sean Ianchulev “I think technology will help us get to the next level. Technology has been around for this, but it hasn't been applied for this.” — Dr. Sean Ianchulev   Contact Us: Contact us at podcasts@lighthouseguild.org with your innovative new technology ideas for people with vision loss.   Pertinent Links: Lighthouse Guild Retina Risk Keep Your Sight.org   Guest Bios: Dr. Peter Pham & Dr. Sean Ianchulev are both the Co-Founders of Keep Your Sight. Dr. Pham is a boarded certified ophthalmologist who has devoted his professional life to restoring sight and helping patients keep their vision. As a surgeon and clinician, Dr. Pham treats conditions such as glaucoma, cataract, and macular degeneration, all of which can cause blindness. As a researcher, he worked on the development of a novel delivery system for introducing large-sized molecular compounds into thousands of living cells simultaneously. Realizing the importance of technology and innovation for screening and prevention, Dr. Pham teamed up with Dr. Ianchulev to develop the KYS telemedicine system for vision health. Dr. Ianchulev has been on the cutting edge of innovation, making an impact in the treatment of major eye diseases such as macular degeneration and glaucoma. He was instrumental in the development of many new therapies and advances, such as Lucentis for AMD and Diabetic Retinopathy, intraoperative aberrometry for high-precision cataract surgery, micro-stent technology for glaucoma, the miLOOP interventional technology for cataract surgery, and others. Dr. Einar Stefansson & Dr. Arna Gudmundsdottir are both the Co-Founders of Retina Risk. Dr. Stefansson is a leader in the field of diabetic eye disease and diabetic screening and head supervisor for product development and clinical science. Dr. Stefansson graduated from the University of Iceland Medical School in 1978 with honors. He received a PhD degree in physiology from Duke University in 1981 followed by a residency at Duke. Dr. Gudmundsdottir takes an active role in all product development and clinical testing. Her expertise gives valuable insight into practical usage of products and medical approaches. Dr. Gudmundsdottir graduated from the University of Iceland Medical School in '92. She undertook a fellowship program in endocrinology at the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics.

Africa is a large and diverse continent. Many different peoples, ethnic groups, tribes — these terms overlap but are not synonymous — speaking more than a thousand languages, organized into more than 50 nation-states. Most of those nation-states achieved independence in the aftermath of World War II, as European imperialism and colonialism died out. In few African lands has political stability and prosperity followed. And today, Africa is threatened by new predators. Violent and vicious jihadists are kidnapping, killing, and committing a long list of other crimes. Africa also is threatened by what I'm going to call neo-imperialism — not the European variety. Joining host Cliff May to discuss these issues is Dr. J. Peter Pham, who was the first-ever United States Special Envoy for the Sahel Region of Africa. Before that, Ambassador Pham served as U.S. Special Envoy for the Great Lakes Region of Africa. He's also been a denizen of think tanks. Currently he is a Distinguished Fellow at the Atlantic Council, but his first DC think tank affiliation was an Adjunct Senior Fellow at FDD. In addition, he was a tenured Associate Professor of justice studies, political science, and Africana studies at James Madison University, and Director of the school's Nelson Institute for International and Public Affairs. Ambassador Pham is the author of more than 300 essays and reviews and the author, editor, or translator of over a dozen books, primarily on African history, politics, and economics.

The US foreign policy approach to Africa has remained remarkably consistent since the Clinton administration. As President Biden's State Department begins to take shape, analysts have started to wonder which direction his government might take. This week, Marie-Noelle spoke to Ambassador J. Peter Pham, a Distinguished Fellow at the Atlantic Council, who formerly served as US Special Envoy for the Sahel and Great Lakes region during the Trump administration, to hear more about the relationship, and what President Biden's nominees might say about the current direction of travel.

You want me on your team.”As an operator, Peter grew Photobucket to become the largest photo sharing site in 2007, exiting to Myspace for $300 million. He repeated that success as a co-founder and CEO of BillShrink, which was acquired by MasterCard. But how did he start out, what shaped him as a kid to become the preeminent VC he is today?“I think what shaped me in terms of growing up, not having anything and the classic American dream. No one's gonna give it to me, I'm gonna go earn it, work my ass off. I had three jobs to pay for college, as a waiter.”He spent 9 years jumping between 13 different enterprise software companies, but his advice for wannabe entrepreneurs today is this: “Go work at a startup, pick it up, try different things and just be the motivated person who's willing to learn and do whatever it takes, and don't get sucked into titles.”From finding your superpower, to founding Photobucket, BillShrink and Color, to choosing a co-founder, the qualities he looks for when he meets a founder, to the ideal company he's looking for. “Across all three categories for us, it's mobile, marketplaces, and consumer brands, those are the types of companies we're looking for.”If you're an entrepreneur, you don't want to miss this.

On today's episode of the Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan rants about one of the funniest and most ridiculous news stories you'll see in 2020. No, really. He also takes time to warn listeners about the herd of new day traders buying Tesla shares by the thousands. "I think it's 1998 all over again!" Then on this week's interview, Dan welcomes guest Peter Pham on to the show. Peter is the founder and chairman of Phoenix Capital, a bespoke advisory firm offering analysis, strategies and insights on investment and finance.  Peter's analysis has been featured on a variety of publications including The Motley Fool, Seeking Alpha, CNN Money, Bloomberg, and many more.

During the interview, Peter teaches Dan about some relatively new ideas in the world of finance like the omega point how it could signal the end of a nation's lifecycle. They both share a bleak view, but Peter says there are things you can do to protect yourself today. And finally on the mailbag, one listener asks Dan to clarify the best way to track and implement your trailing stops. Another asks if Dan thinks it's time to pull your money out of bank stocks. And if an investor believed commodities were severely undervalued, what would be the simplest most effective way to take advantage of that situation? Listen to Dan's response to these questions and more on this week's episode.

Abrimos esta Imprensa Semanal com Coronavírus, a Itália entre a fatalidade e a solidariedade, tema de capa do semanário L'OBS. No país mais atingido da Europa, hoje laboratório do combate ao vírus, a população resiste, inova e dá provas de um civismo exemplar. Lembrar-nos-emos dessa sexta sexta-feira, 13 de março, talvez, uma data histórica. Nesse dia, às 18 horas, os italianos confinados às suas casas escancararam as janelas, saíram para as suas varandas e cantaram Fratelli d'Italia, o hino nacional. Muitos tocaram guitarra, outros acordeão ou trompete numa espécie de vitalidade anti-vírus, anti-contágio e anti-catástrofe. Uma forma de exorcismo sonoro contra o inimigo invisível e silencioso que dizima vidas italianas há dois meses. A palavra de ordem de solidariedade viajou de Roma, passando por Palermo até Nápoles e às redes sociais numa atmosfera de União nacional, sublinha, L'OBS.  Também, LE POINT, faz a sua capa com o tema, titulando, como vivemos com o coronavírus. Numa espécie de Guia prático do corona resiliência revisita o sistema imunitário, hospitais, economia, geopolítica ou Darwin. O filósofo, Marcel Gauchet, autor de "Desencanto do mundo", afirma em entrevista ao semanário que vamos ter de trocar de bateria. O equilíbrio do nosso funcionamento colectivo repousa na ponta duma agulha. O diálogo entre a sociedade e o poder tornou-se tão conflituoso que a prudência se impoe. O Presidente Macron, tem razão ao tomar as coisas em mãos. Neste tipo de situações não há lugar para delegar. O princípio de responsabilidade tem de ser reafirmado e é uma exigência fundamental dos cidadãos, acrescenta o filósofo, num exclusivo ao LE POINT.  Por seu lado, COURRIER INTERNATIONAL, destaca igualmente o coronavírus, escolas fechadas, confinamento generalizado, trabalho à distância, restrições de circulação, tudo o que vai mudar no nosso dia-a-dia. Enquanto isto, perante a ligeireza do francês médio, o governo do Presidente Macron foi obrigado a adoptar medidas drásticas, como confinamento ou teletrabalho. O Estado pagará e nenhuma empresa será obrigada a despedir pessoal declarou o Presidente Macron.  Em relação à África, o mesmo COURRIER INTERNATIONAL, refere-se ao Uganda, os rebeldes perdidos de Joseph Koni. Sanguinário, o chefe do Exército da resistência do Senhor, semeou o terror durante 20 anos na África central.  Hoje vive confinado a um pequeno território na fronteira entre o Sudão e o Sudão do sul e a Repúbllica  centro-africana e segundo alguns dos transfugas quase que desapareceu o exército da resistência restando apenas um pequeno núcleo nomeadamente os filhos do chefe limitando-se a fazer trabalho de agricultura ou vendendo mel no mercado.  Por seu lado, no semanário, JEUNE AFRIQUE, destacamos República democrática do Congo: Tshisekedi pode controlar o seu exército? Sob a pressão de Washington, o chefe de Estado da RDC poderá ser forçado a afastar os generais e altas patentes visados por sanções internacionais, enquanto não vier uma reforma de fundo das forças armadas.  Convocado em fins de fevereiro e ouvido pelo conselho nacional de segurança, o general, Muhindo Akili Mundos, comandante da região militar do Sul-Kivu e Maniema, pode vir a ser alvo de uma sanção disciplinar.  Desde o seu último posto em Bukavu, nas margens do lago Kivu, que essa alta patente é ameaçado por sanções europeias  pelo grupo de peritos da ONU por ter participado no recrutamento de milícias. Por outro lado há várias semanas que quadros do aparelho militar próximos do antigo presidente, Joseph Kabila estão a ter problemas como o general, Fall Sikabwe que compareceu perante um conselho de disciplina, acusado de desvio de subvenções destinadas à tropa;  Há pois cerca de um ano que Tshisekedi tem as mãos atadas recusando por prudência a recorrer às suas prerrogativas constitucionais de nomeação.  Uma coisa é certa. Tshisekedi está sob pressão e quando estava anunciada uma visita a Kinshasa em fevereiro do secretário de Estado americano, Mike Pompeo, foi finalmente Peter Pham, enviado especial para os Grandes Lagos, que acabou por efectuá-la, com Pompeu a privilegiar na mesma altura uma visita a Angola, onde Washington sublinha os progressos em matéria de luta contra a corrupão. Foi portanto um sinal importante dos Estados Unidos à RDC de que esperam verdadeiramente mudançss, sublinha, JEUNE AFRIQUE. Enfim, uma nota literária, o escritor moçambicano, Mia Couto, de passagem por Paris para o seu último livro "As Areias do Imperador, afirma ao LE POINT, que "para ele ser biolólogo e escritor é a mesma coisa. O que procuro na escrita e enquanto investigador é entrar em conexão profunda com o que não é visível mas que é essencial e nos liga à vida." Para quando o Nobel?, para este autor moçambicano que publica seu novo romance ancorado na história colonial do seu país natal e de Portugal dos seus antepassados, pergunta, LE POINT.

Raising $41 million dollars before launch, Color should have been an instant hit, but instead met a swift demise. When it launched, the application had around 1 million downloads. By September 2011, the service had a little under 100,000 active users. Founded by serial entrepreneur Bill Nguyen and successful operator, Peter Pham, Color had one of the best teams in the business. However, in the weeks following Color's initial launch, controversy surrounded the startup's $41 million funding and mixed reviews on the product. The initial launch left users confused with the application's user interface and purpose. Its initial rating in the App Store was 2 out of 5 stars. In an interview with Robert Scoble in April 2011, Pham and Nguyen admitted that Color's launch was a wasted opportunity. But it wasn't just the launch that would sink the company. Today we take you behind the scenes of Color's rise and fall. BIG NEWS We've officially launched the Rocketship Premium Podcast feed!

Korean BBQ is a unique experience where you get to be the grillmaster while still sitting at a table and conversing with loved ones.

No one is protected from financial markets, so learning what to invest in (silver and gold) is paramount to you and your family’s survival. Determining what financial freedom is for you is the question that hangs over all of our heads.

Peter Pham, author and founder of hedge fund Phoenix Capital, gives us his "boots on the ground" perspective on Asia. This includes talking commodities at billionaire  Jim Rogers' mansion in Singapore. He also explains why China will continue to devalue their currency and why it's difficult for the younger generation to change "the system" when it comes to transparency. Peter then shares his methodology for picking stocks.  This includes using new methods of technical analysis to increase returns.  Finally, he talks about his favorite sector and why the U.S. Dollar will continue to move higher into next year.

It’s the fight of the century as Peter squares off with Marc Lichtenfeld of The Oxford Club in an attempt to settle the debate of the merits of technical analysis versus Peter’s own methodology laid out in “The Big Trade”. Peter gets the action underway by giving an overview of the topic of his book and the strategy outlined within the book. Marc puts Peter on the ropes with a flurry of questions relating to the underlying data in Peter’s methodology. Peter responds with a devastating combination of reification and multistability leaving the fight very much in the balance with just a few rounds remaining. Was this a TKO or is it a judges decision? Tune in to find out and email us info@phx-cap.com or #bigtrade to weight in your thoughts.

  Global hedge fund manager, Peter Pham, tells us why technical analysis is not a good system in determining future market trends. He breaks down his methodology for picking stocks - which includes statistics and behavior patterns. Peter also tells us why he is still long the dollar and shares his favorite investment to buy for 2015.

Om ett möjligt slut i sikte efter 11 och ett halvt års krig. Vad händer med Guantanamofångarna, drönarattackerna och CIA om USA deklarerar seger i kriget mot terrorismen? Samtidigt pekas Mali ut som det nya Afghanistan och Afrika som ny front i den globala kampen. Hör röster från Jemen, USA och Storbritannien om huruvida kriget mot terrorismen går att avsluta. När USA:s president Barack Obama i veckan höll sitt installationstal slog han fast att USA inte kan vara i krig för evigt och att ett decennium av krig nu går mot sitt slut. Samtidigt har hans senaste ministerutnämningar väckt spekulationer om vilken bana han egentligen kommer att slå in på under sin sista tid i Vita huset - krigets eller fredens väg.  På flera sätt har de amerikanska förutsättningarna förändrats på senare tid. Al-qaidaledaren Usama Bin Laden är död och organisationen sägs ha försvagats så pass att den inte skulle kunna utföra några större attacker. USA är på väg att kalla hem den absoluta majoriteten av sina trupper från Afghanistan. Men samtidigt hör vi helt andra tongångar på den här sidan Atlanten - om al-qaida-lierade grupper som tagit över stora delar av Mali och etablerar sig runt om i västra Afrika, Frankrikes militärintervention och det våldsamma gisslandramat i Algeriet. Så vad finns det egentligen för anledning att tala om ett slut på terrorkriget - nu? Det som satte igång diskussionen var Pentagons avgående chefsjurist som i november väckte stor uppmärksamhet när han sa att det var dags att börja tala om hur det här kriget skulle sluta. Jeh Johnson är omtalad som möjlig nästa justitieminister. Inför åhörare på Oxforduniversitetet talade han om en förestående vändpunkt - en dag när vi inte längre utkämpar ett krig. Konflikts Kajsa Boglind ringde upp Robert Chesney, professor i juridik vid Texas Universitet och tidigare rådgivare åt Justitiedepartementet och CIA, för att fråga hur man ska tolka Jeh Johnssons tal: En av de tydligaste symbolerna för kriget mot terrorn är Guantanamo-fängelset på Kubas östra spets. Å för fångarna som sitter där skulle allt förändras om kriget mot terrorismen skulle förklaras vara över eftersom det då skulle saknas laglig grund att hålla fångar på obestämd framtid. Idag sitter 166 fångar fortfarande kvar i väntan på att friges eller ställas inför rätta. Över hälften av dom kommer från Jemen - och en av dom är 45-årige Abdul Salaam al-Hejla. Han greps av amerikaner på en affärsresa i Egypten 2002, skickades till CIA:s hemliga fängelser i Azerbaijan och Afghanistan, å hamnade till slut på Guantanamo. Lotten Collin träffade hans familj i Jemens huvudstad Sanaa i januari 2010: Ett av USA:s viktigaste vapen i kriget mot terrorismen är underrättelsetjänsten CIA. Men det är inte bara CIA som påverkat världen med sin intensiva terroristjakt de senaste åren. Kriget har också förändrat CIA i grunden. Det berättade Tim Weiner när Konflikts Ivar Ekman ringde honom i New York. Weiner var tidigare korrespondent åt New York Times, men är nu historiker och författare till en bok om CIA.s historia: Legacy of Ashes. Han berättar att CIA den 10 september 2001 var en helt annan organisation än den är idag. I kriget mot terrorismen har också orden har blivit till ett slags vapen i striden. Beskyllningar om krigshets å ena sidan och förräderi å den andra, slungas ivrigt mellan de olika lägren. En hel kader av experter kommentatorer och analytiker har haft högkonjunktur i flera år på grund av den ständiga efterfrågan på kommentarer om kriget. Konflikts Daniela Marquardt ringde upp några av dessa: Glenn Greenwald - jurist och krönikör på the Guardian och känd för sin kritik mot det amerikanska kriget mot terrorismen, Peter Pham som är chef för Afrika-centret vid  konservativa tankesmedjan Atlantic Council och Daveed Gartenstein-Ross vid den konservativa stiftelsen för Demokratins försvar i Washington. Och även om deras uppfattningar om krigets orsaker och konsekvenser går starkt isär så är de rörande överens om en sak och det är att kriget inte är på väg att slut - oavsett president Obamas tal om att det inte kan vara för evigt och den förre pentagonjuristen Jeh Johnssons ord om en förestående vändpunkt: Tidigare Konflikt om ämnet: Programledare:Daniela Marquardt Producent:Kajsa Boglind
