The buzz about AI focuses on how we can bolster our skills, knowledge and efficiency. But what role can AI play in enriching our lives as social beings with feelings, relationships and dreams? In this special interview, Mustafa Suleyman and Reid Hoffman — co-founders of Inflection AI, and two of the leading AI minds today — sit down to discuss the human-centered ideals at the core of Mustafa's cutting-edge work. They offer a clear eyed, optimistic view on how AI will revolutionize our lives.Mustafa discusses his early experiences with AI, his pioneering work with DeepMind and Google, and the ideals that were central in creating the AI Assistant, Pi. He also discusses how we should be actively creating the future that we want to see, as outlined in his recent book, The Coming Wave. This interview is also the ideal primer for our upcoming miniseries "AI and You," in which Reid will talk with an array of AI leaders (including Mustafa) to explore how you can harness AI to scale your productivity, your business, and yourself, while staying safe in the process.Register for our live October Strategy Session: https://mastersofscale.com/AISubscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter: https://mastersofscale.com/subscribeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Po wielki hicie czyli analizie Bąbli Zimna i Pióropuszy, „Mówi się” nie zatrzymuje. Asia i Szymon rzucają się na tytuły z portali. Czy przegną? Czy narażą się internautom? Konwencja ocinka prosta jak konewka. Asia tytuł – Szymon tytuł. Może być tak, że internet się wyłączy a wifi padnie. Mówisiowcy wchodzą na grząski grunt redakcji portali. Asia i Szymon wnikną w głowy autorów tytułów i dokonają symulacji powstawania plotki. Czy sami się staną ich ofiarami?

Brother Marty Leeds, teacher & preacher of the Gnostic Academy returns to InnerVerse! We talk about what's new at his online church and his move to Missouri, real Gnosticism vs. troofer victimhood, the value in scripture as allegory, transcendental numbers, the Chi Rho symbol, Pi and the generative powers, being a disciple of math, the septenary cipher on your hands, the riddle to find the middle, the self-evident nature of Truth, and the fractal hand of God. In the Plus+ Extension, you'll learn about how Gödel's incompleteness theorem informs us about our closed-system realm. Next, we speculate about what's at the north pole, discuss Jesus as the demiurge (in a good way), the eternal cycles of destruction and regeneration, ascension cults, individual transcendence, going to heaven, and why God is the ultimate hilarious comedian.

Esta información parece obvia. Sería muy extraño si dijera que un manzano produce sandías. De hecho, esto sería imposible, porque, aunque hay muchos árboles, cada uno de ellos da un fruto específico y, con solo mirar el fruto, es posible saber de qué árbol proviene.En el reino espiritual sucede de la misma forma. La Biblia dice que las personas son reconocidas como seguidoras de Jesús por el fruto que producen. Los verdaderos cristianos producen el fruto del Espíritu: "amor, alegría, paz, paciencia, amabilidad, bondad, fidelidad, humildad y dominio propio" (Gál. 5:22, 23).Quien no es guiado por el Espíritu produce impureza, indecencia, idolatría, hechicería, odio, discordia, celos, ira, egoísmo, desarmonía, envidia; borracheras y otras cosas similares (Gal. 5:19-21).TU COMPORTAMIENTO, PREVELA QUE ESTÁS SIENDO GUIADO POR EL ESPÍRITU DE DIOS.  ¿Qué tipo de fruto has estado produciendo? Piénsalo, y pide al Espíritu Santo que te ayude a producir buenos frutos.

This also leads them into talking about how passionate and dedicated they are you their 9 to 5 jobs, versus some people who may not be, as much. #OMTWF #Acomi #Turk182 #KorovaEntertainment #LowBlow #TheLastBoyScout #TonyScott #Tombstone #work Follow Acomi on Twitter at @AcomiDraws and on Instagram at AcomiDraws.

Zapraszam na rozmowę o piłce nożnej, ale w inny sposób, niż zwykle. Mało będzie o samych bramkach, czy statystykach. Więcej o relacjach, wierze w zawodników, twarzy futbolu, której nie widać od razu. Tak właśnie o piłce nożnej pisze Michał Okoński, który przy okazji premiery swojej nowej książki zagościł. Rozmawialiśmy jeszcze przed ostatnimi meczami reprezentacji i zerwaniem kontraktu z Fernando Santosem - to tak nawiasem mówiąc. Książka Michała Okońskiego "Stałe fragmenty. Piękny i wstrętny.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1====================================================DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA JÓVENES 2023“CARÁCTER”Narrado por: Daniel RamosDesde: Connecticut, Estados UnidosUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church17 DE SEPTIEMBRE DEL 2023 SU EXCELENCIA «Tuya es, Jehová, la magnificencia y el poder, la gloria, la victoria y el honor; porque todas las cosas que están en los cielos y en la tierra son tuyas. Tuyo, Jehová, es el reino, y tú eres excelso sobre todos.» 1 Crón. 29:11 La verdadera excelencia, curiosamente, no se origina en nosotros. A veces, ni forma parte de nuestra esencia natural. No somos más inteligentes que otros, ni más bellos (al menos algunos), ni más ricos, ni más poderosos, ni más idóneos políticamente, ni más estables económicamente. No, no lo somos. ¿Dónde, pues, reside el secreto que origina tal virtud? Apenas dos palabras: «en Cristo».Lo que nos diferencia es Cristo, quien origina una vida sobresaliente y superlativa. Como dijo Pedro: «Todas las cosas que pertenecen a la vida y a la piedad nos han sido dadas por su divino poder, mediante el conocimiento de aquel que nos llamó por su gloria y excelencia» (2 Ped. 1:3). Dios no nos llama desde la ambigüedad, la debilidad o la duda. Nos llama desde lo máximo, lo más glorioso, lo más de lo más. Es el rey y, desde su majestad, se nos acerca. Se nos dirige con respeto y, sobre todo, con cariño.Ser excelente en Cristo es, primeramente, ser persona. Persona que se sabe criatura de Dios. Un Dios magnífico, poderoso, glorioso, victorioso, honorable, excelso y, además, un Dios que ama, que se comunica y que redime cuando se entrega. Y se entrega completamente, sin medidas ni limitaciones, para ofrecer esperanza. Una esperanza que nos embarga y alienta a continuar nuestro caminar. Caminar con la certeza de los que se saben acompañados y protegidos. Protegidos en Cristo, el ser más excelente.Piénsalo por un momento, tu Señor es el dueño del universo, lo creó y lo sostiene. Huestes de ángeles le adoran con plena conciencia de su majestad. Toda criatura celestial hace silencio ante su presencia. Sin embargo, no se conformó con eso, supo hacerse diminuto, uno como nosotros, para salvarnos. Eso sí que es grandeza, me hace sentir orgulloso de mi Dios y sentir una profunda solemnidad hacia su persona. ¿Qué hemos hecho para que nos ame tanto? Nada, él es así.No sé cómo me comportaré cuando se me acerque en la Segunda Venida, pero tengo la intención de que, tras mirar las cicatrices de sus manos, dejaré oír un sentido y profundo: «Su Excelencia, muchas gracias.»

Ezekiel 28–30 Ezekiel 28–30 (Listen) Prophecy Against the Prince of Tyre 28 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord GOD:   “Because your heart is proud,    and you have said, ‘I am a god,  I sit in the seat of the gods,    in the heart of the seas,'  yet you are but a man, and no god,    though you make your heart like the heart of a god—3   you are indeed wiser than Daniel;    no secret is hidden from you;4   by your wisdom and your understanding    you have made wealth for yourself,  and have gathered gold and silver    into your treasuries;5   by your great wisdom in your trade    you have increased your wealth,    and your heart has become proud in your wealth—6   therefore thus says the Lord GOD:  Because you make your heart    like the heart of a god,7   therefore, behold, I will bring foreigners upon you,    the most ruthless of the nations;  and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom    and defile your splendor.8   They shall thrust you down into the pit,    and you shall die the death of the slain    in the heart of the seas.9   Will you still say, ‘I am a god,'    in the presence of those who kill you,  though you are but a man, and no god,    in the hands of those who slay you?10   You shall die the death of the uncircumcised    by the hand of foreigners;    for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.” A Lament over the King of Tyre 11 Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me: 12 “Son of man, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord GOD:   “You were the signet of perfection,1    full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.13   You were in Eden, the garden of God;    every precious stone was your covering,  sardius, topaz, and diamond,    beryl, onyx, and jasper,  sapphire,2 emerald, and carbuncle;    and crafted in gold were your settings    and your engravings.3  On the day that you were created    they were prepared.14   You were an anointed guardian cherub.    I placed you;4 you were on the holy mountain of God;    in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.15   You were blameless in your ways    from the day you were created,    till unrighteousness was found in you.16   In the abundance of your trade    you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned;  so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God,    and I destroyed you,5 O guardian cherub,    from the midst of the stones of fire.17   Your heart was proud because of your beauty;    you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor.  I cast you to the ground;    I exposed you before kings,    to feast their eyes on you.18   By the multitude of your iniquities,    in the unrighteousness of your trade    you profaned your sanctuaries;  so I brought fire out from your midst;    it consumed you,  and I turned you to ashes on the earth    in the sight of all who saw you.19   All who know you among the peoples    are appalled at you;  you have come to a dreadful end    and shall be no more forever.” Prophecy Against Sidon 20 The word of the LORD came to me: 21 “Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against her 22 and say, Thus says the Lord GOD:   “Behold, I am against you, O Sidon,    and I will manifest my glory in your midst.  And they shall know that I am the LORD    when I execute judgments in her    and manifest my holiness in her;23   for I will send pestilence into her,    and blood into her streets;  and the slain shall fall in her midst,    by the sword that is against her on every side.  Then they will know that I am the LORD. 24 “And for the house of Israel there shall be no more a brier to prick or a thorn to hurt them among all their neighbors who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD. Israel Gathered in Security 25 “Thus says the Lord GOD: When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and manifest my holiness in them in the sight of the nations, then they shall dwell in their own land that I gave to my servant Jacob. 26 And they shall dwell securely in it, and they shall build houses and plant vineyards. They shall dwell securely, when I execute judgments upon all their neighbors who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.” Prophecy Against Egypt 29 In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me: 2 “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt; 3 speak, and say, Thus says the Lord GOD:   “Behold, I am against you,    Pharaoh king of Egypt,  the great dragon that lies    in the midst of his streams,  that says, ‘My Nile is my own;    I made it for myself.'4   I will put hooks in your jaws,    and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales;  and I will draw you up out of the midst of your streams,    with all the fish of your streams    that stick to your scales.5   And I will cast you out into the wilderness,    you and all the fish of your streams;  you shall fall on the open field,    and not be brought together or gathered.  To the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the heavens    I give you as food. 6 Then all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD. “Because you6 have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel, 7 when they grasped you with the hand, you broke and tore all their shoulders; and when they leaned on you, you broke and made all their loins to shake.7 8 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will bring a sword upon you, and will cut off from you man and beast, 9 and the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste. Then they will know that I am the LORD. “Because you8 said, ‘The Nile is mine, and I made it,' 10 therefore, behold, I am against you and against your streams, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from Migdol to Syene, as far as the border of Cush. 11 No foot of man shall pass through it, and no foot of beast shall pass through it; it shall be uninhabited forty years. 12 And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of desolated countries, and her cities shall be a desolation forty years among cities that are laid waste. I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries. 13 “For thus says the Lord GOD: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they were scattered, 14 and I will restore the fortunes of Egypt and bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin, and there they shall be a lowly kingdom. 15 It shall be the most lowly of the kingdoms, and never again exalt itself above the nations. And I will make them so small that they will never again rule over the nations. 16 And it shall never again be the reliance of the house of Israel, recalling their iniquity, when they turn to them for aid. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.” 17 In the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me: 18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre. Every head was made bald, and every shoulder was rubbed bare, yet neither he nor his army got anything from Tyre to pay for the labor that he had performed against her. 19 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off its wealth9 and despoil it and plunder it; and it shall be the wages for his army. 20 I have given him the land of Egypt as his payment for which he labored, because they worked for me, declares the Lord GOD. 21 “On that day I will cause a horn to spring up for the house of Israel, and I will open your lips among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.” A Lament for Egypt 30 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord GOD:   “Wail, ‘Alas for the day!'3     For the day is near,    the day of the LORD is near;  it will be a day of clouds,    a time of doom for10 the nations.4   A sword shall come upon Egypt,    and anguish shall be in Cush,  when the slain fall in Egypt,    and her wealth11 is carried away,    and her foundations are torn down. 5 Cush, and Put, and Lud, and all Arabia, and Libya,12 and the people of the land that is in league,13 shall fall with them by the sword. 6   “Thus says the LORD:  Those who support Egypt shall fall,    and her proud might shall come down;  from Migdol to Syene    they shall fall within her by the sword,  declares the Lord GOD.7   And they shall be desolated in the midst of desolated countries,    and their cities shall be in the midst of cities that are laid waste.8   Then they will know that I am the LORD,    when I have set fire to Egypt,    and all her helpers are broken. 9 “On that day messengers shall go out from me in ships to terrify the unsuspecting people of Cush, and anguish shall come upon them on the day of Egypt's doom;14 for, behold, it comes! 10 “Thus says the Lord GOD:   “I will put an end to the wealth of Egypt,    by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.11   He and his people with him, the most ruthless of nations,    shall be brought in to destroy the land,  and they shall draw their swords against Egypt    and fill the land with the slain.12   And I will dry up the Nile    and will sell the land into the hand of evildoers;  I will bring desolation upon the land and everything in it,    by the hand of foreigners;  I am the LORD; I have spoken. 13 “Thus says the Lord GOD:   “I will destroy the idols    and put an end to the images in Memphis;  there shall no longer be a prince from the land of Egypt;    so I will put fear in the land of Egypt.14   I will make Pathros a desolation    and will set fire to Zoan    and will execute judgments on Thebes.15   And I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium,    the stronghold of Egypt,    and cut off the multitude15 of Thebes.16   And I will set fire to Egypt;    Pelusium shall be in great agony;  Thebes shall be breached,    and Memphis shall face enemies16 by day.17   The young men of On and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword,    and the women17 shall go into captivity.18   At Tehaphnehes the day shall be dark,    when I break there the yoke bars of Egypt,  and her proud might shall come to an end in her;    she shall be covered by a cloud,    and her daughters shall go into captivity.19   Thus I will execute judgments on Egypt.    Then they will know that I am the LORD.” Egypt Shall Fall to Babylon 20 In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me: 21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and behold, it has not been bound up, to heal it by binding it with a bandage, so that it may become strong to wield the sword. 22 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt and will break his arms, both the strong arm and the one that was broken, and I will make the sword fall from his hand. 23 I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them through the countries. 24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put my sword in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan before him like a man mortally wounded. 25 I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, but the arms of Pharaoh shall fall. Then they shall know that I am the LORD, when I put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon and he stretches it out against the land of Egypt. 26 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the countries. Then they will know that I am the LORD.” Footnotes [1] 28:12 The meaning of the Hebrew phrase is uncertain [2] 28:13 Or lapis lazuli [3] 28:13 The meaning of the Hebrew phrase is uncertain [4] 28:14 The meaning of the Hebrew phrase is uncertain [5] 28:16 Or banished you [6] 29:6 Hebrew they [7] 29:7 Syriac (compare Psalm 69:23); Hebrew to stand [8] 29:9 Hebrew he [9] 29:19 Or multitude [10] 30:3 Hebrew lacks doom for [11] 30:4 Or multitude; also verse 10 [12] 30:5 With Septuagint; Hebrew Cub [13] 30:5 Hebrew and the sons of the land of the covenant [14] 30:9 Hebrew the day of Egypt [15] 30:15 Or wealth [16] 30:16 Or distress [17] 30:17 Or the cities; Hebrew they (ESV)

Troisième épisode de notre série « nouvelles routes de la soie, dix ans après » au Sri Lanka et plus précisément au sud de l'île au 22 millions d'habitants, l'ancien fief du président déchu Gotabaya Rajapaksa. Coup de projecteur sur le port d'Hambantota, construit avant le lancement des « nouvelles routes de la soie » et devenu au fil du temps le symbole des dérives mégalomaniaques des Rajapakse, qui ont plongé le pays dans le chaos et l'une des pires crises économiques et politiques de son histoire. Pour rejoindre la pointe Sud de l'île depuis la capitale Colombo, il ne faut désormais plus que 3h30. Flambant neuve, inaugurée en 2015, l'extension de l'autoroute du Sud financée et construite par les Chinois est tout un symbole. La première autoroute du pays, qui relie aujourd'hui les ports de Colombo et d'Hambantota et les deux aéroports internationaux de Colombo et de Mattala, fait partie des nombreux projets d'infrastructures développés à coup de milliards de dollars de crédit, et aujourd'hui sous le label des « nouvelles routes de la soie ».Le cas du port en eau profonde d'Hambantota est encore plus emblématique. Pour rembourser une partie de ses dettes, le Sri Lanka a dû accorder une concession de 99 ans sur les activités commerciales du port à une entreprise publique chinoise (CMPH). Ces projets sont qualifiés « d'éléphant blanc », une expression tirée d'une légende thaïe pour désigner tous ces investissements démesurés qui ont contribué à ruiner le pays. Et dans le cas d'Hambantota, à exacerber le conflit entre l'homme et la faune sauvage.Un écosystème chambouléDepuis la construction du port d'Hambantota, la coexistence ancestrale entre les humains et les éléphants n'est plus du tout pacifique. Début juillet, en seulement trois jours, quatre villageois ont perdu la vie suite à des attaques d'éléphants sauvages. Ces comportements hostiles s'expliquent par la déforestation et la dégradation de l'habitat naturel des pachydermes, qui les obligent à rechercher des ressources vitales en dehors des forêts et des zones protégées. A Hambantota, les villageois rapportent la mort tragique de 17 personnes en un peu plus d'un mois. Au niveau national et selon les données officielles, 2022 a connu une mortalité record avec 145 décès d'humains et 433 décès d'éléphantsA Gonnoruwa, un village à une dizaine de kilomètres au nord du port, Nanini vient d'apprendre la mort de son fils, piétiné par un pachyderme alors qu'il se rendait à son travail. Le jeune homme avait emprunté comme chaque matin un raccourci, créé par l'entreprise qui a construit l'autoroute pour acheminer son matériel et qui traverse une réserve forestière. L'aire censée être une zone protégée est gérée par le bureau de la faune sauvage. Les villageois dénoncent une absence totale de signalisation ou de clôtures électriques pour protéger les humains. Sur ces terres à majorité cinghalaise et bouddhiste et dont près de la moitié des habitants vit en dessous du seuil de pauvreté, la vie ne tient qu'à un fil.Roshan Rajika peut en témoigner. Ce passionné d'environnement reçoit chaque jour des appels de villageois paniqués pour lui signaler la présence d'éléphants dans leurs rizières ou à proximité de leur maison. Une nuit, tous les rouleaux électriques des petits commerces dans un des villages ont été saccagés. Un éléphant affamé était passé par là.Le quadragénaire a filmé des centaines de vidéo de ces créatures majestueuses. Il se souvient du temps où la zone de Karagan Lewaya abritait une riche biodiversité. Autrefois visité par des oiseaux migrateurs et des troupeaux d'éléphants, l'espace est désormais occupé par le complexe portuaire et un gigantesque terrain qui sera transformé à terme en zone industrielle. Roshan en veut beaucoup aux autorités. « Je n'ai rien contre le développement, mais il n'y a eu aucune étude de faisabilité, de protection de la nature ou de stratégie pour éviter le conflit actuel homme-faune. Tous ces projets ont été initiés par notre gouvernement. Quand la construction du port a débuté, les autorités ont bâti des villages pour reloger les fermiers sans tenir compte des éléphants. La construction du port et des nombreux villages a grignoté leur habitat naturel et ce avec la bénédiction des politiciens locaux. »Des éléphants blancsC'est aussi l'avis de Saman Sudarashana, le secrétaire de l'association des fermiers de la région, qui dénonce les incohérences du gouvernement. « Notre district compte environ 450 éléphants. Le gouvernement a reconnu la région comme une zone de conservation de l'habitat des éléphants tout en lançant des projets de développement comme l'aéroport de Mattala, l'autoroute, un stade de cricket ou encore un gigantesque centre de conférence. Tout cela a été construit au beau milieu des aires protégées poussant les éléphants à venir se nourrir sur les terres agricoles. » Le secrétaire de l'association souligne le ras-le-bol de la population locale. « Personne ne se soucie de notre bien-être ni de celui des animaux. À cause de tous ces projets mal planifiés, des gens perdent leur vie, des maisons sont saccagées. Et les récoltes, cultivées au prix de nombreux sacrifices, sont détruites. Ce n'est pas la faute des éléphants, ce sont les élus qui ont mal géré la situation. Malgré les fréquentes manifestations et plusieurs grèves de la faim, les fermiers savent qu'ils ne peuvent compter que sur eux-mêmes. Dans cette zone sèche qui souffre de problèmes chroniques d'approvisionnement en eau potable, l'un des enjeux majeurs sera de trouver des financements pour construire un réservoir d'eau pour les éléphants, seule solution viable et durable, estime Saman Sudarashana.Ces éléphants blancs ont non seulement ruiné le pays mais aussi bouleversé la vie de centaines de familles, expropriées de leurs terres et relocalisées à des kilomètres plus au nord en échange de maigres compensations. Piyadasa 75 ans tient une petite épicerie en bord de route. C'est aussi le domicile de sa fille et de ses deux petits enfants. Le septuagénaire vivait à l'emplacement du port et cultivait des noix de cajou bio, destinées à l'export. La production lui permettait de vivre très correctement.  « Avant 2007, nous pouvions subvenir à nos besoins, vivre de notre travail. J'avais près de six hectares de terres cultivables, se souvient-il nostalgique. Aujourd'hui j'ai tout perdu. Je ne gagne que 10% de ce que je gagnais avant. Toute la région s'est transformée en zone semi-urbaine. Près de 180 familles dont une trentaine qui étaient mes voisins sur le site du port ont été relocalisées dans le village. Et je n'ai eu que 3 200 euros de compensation. »Impact économiqueInterrogé sur ce qu'il pense de la famille Rajapaksa, dont Hambantota est le fief ancestral, l'épicier répond sans ambages. « Tous les politiques sont pareils. Vous savez, j'ai des liens familiaux avec les Rajapaksa du côté paternel. Mon père m'a toujours dissuadé de voter pour eux. Il me disait : "les Rajapaksa sont tous des escrocs !" Moi, je suis pour Sajith Premadasa, le chef de l'opposition. Je ne soutiens pas non plus l'actuel président Ranil Wickremesinghe car il a des liens de parenté avec la femme de Mahinda Rajapaksa. Ils sont tous corrompus et se protègent les uns les autres. »Le district d'Hambantota compte environ 600 000 habitants, dont la majorité vit de l'agriculture et de la pêche. Le port de pêche avec son marché se situe à environ 3 km à vol d'oiseau du port international d'Hambantota.Le regard fatigué, vêtu d'un sarong et d'une chemise à carreaux, Jaufer Moulana, 57 ans, pêche depuis l'âge de 12 ans. Sa vie aussi a été chamboulée depuis la construction du port en eau profonde, qui se trouve sur la route stratégique des cargos entre l'Europe et l'Extrême-Orient.« Les cargos nous créent pas mal de problèmes. Avant, on pêchait à l'emplacement du port et on attrapait beaucoup de poissons. Aujourd'hui, la Marine nous interdit de nous y attarder à cause du passage des navires. Dans l'idéal, on aimerait pouvoir y aller le soir et rester jusqu'au matin, mais si un navire passe à ce moment-là, nos filets sont détruits. C'est déjà arrivé trois fois cette année. » Jaufer se plaint de l'énorme manque à gagner. « On nous oblige à quitter la zone, avant même d'avoir réussi à attraper assez de poissons. Vous ne pouvez même plus y planter un hameçon ! Je n'arrive plus à rentrer dans mes frais. » Et de fait, ce matin, le pêcheur n'a rien gagné, il n'a même pas pu couvrir ses dépenses d'essence, entre 10 et 15L qu'il a dû acheter à crédit.Pour comprendre ce sentiment d'abandon et l'inaction des élus, nous avons tenté de rencontrer le secrétaire de la mairie du district, M. Sumanasekara. L'entretien sera de courte durée. Le regard fuyant et le ton sec, l'agent du gouvernement a refusé de répondre à nos questions. Il nous a invité à écrire au ministère de l'Information pour obtenir une autorisation.Quand une porte se ferme, une autre s'ouvre, disait le célèbre écrivain espagnol Cervantès. Cette règle ne s'applique malheureusement pas à Hambantota. Sous un faux prétexte, la visite du port géré par la compagnie China Merchants Port Holdings, pourtant acceptée des semaines en amont et avec à l'appui une liste de questions que nous souhaitions poser, a été annulé à la dernière minute. Selon le service de presse du port, la personne dont on n'a jamais eu le nom et qui était chargée de nous faire visiter le port a dû quitter le pays de manière impromptu pour assister à des réunions urgentes.« No Go Zone »Le complexe portuaire ressemble à une base militaire. Les quatre routes menant aux terminaux sont coupées par des check points, truffés de caméras et surveillées par des agents privés et parfois aussi la marine sri-lankaise. Impossible de s'en approcher. Notre chauffeur de tuk-tuk a dû s'arrêter à deux reprises pour un contrôle routier aux abords du complexe portuaire.Un salarié du port a tout de même accepté de répondre à quelques questions par téléphone et sous couvert d'anonymat. Le jeune homme a confirmé que l'activité principale du port était le transbordement de véhicule. Combien de navires accostent le quai ? Entre dix et quinze selon lui, sur les trois derniers mois et les deux premiers de l'année. C'est la période où le trafic est le plus intense. L'écrasante majorité des employés sont des locaux. Tandis que les Chinois, quelques dizaines, travaillent dans le bâtiment de l'administration portuaire, auquel les Sri-Lankais n'ont pas accès.Notre interlocuteur ajoute que les salaires sont satisfaisants et que les repas sont fournis par l'entreprise. Une ombre au tableau toutefois : depuis que le port est géré par les Chinois, les promotions se font très rares et l'incertitude demeure étant donné que les contrats sont renouvelés tous les ans. Globalement et pour conclure, l'employé du port voit un impact plutôt positif sur sa vie et celles des jeunes de son village. Une cinquantaine ont pu être embauchés dans le port.Monsieur 10 %Frappés par une crise économique sans précédent depuis plus d'un an, les villageois résignés, reconnaissent qu'ils ne peuvent compter que sur eux-mêmes. Le malaise est profond à Hambantota. Un mot revient dans toutes nos conversations : la corruption. Une corruption endémique en particulier dans les sphères du pouvoir et autour du clan politique des Rajapaksa.Aruna Kulantuga, économiste politique à Colombo dénonce la cupidité des élites. À titre d'exemple, il cite le nom de l'un des frères de l'ex-président : Basil Rajapaksa, ancien ministre des Finances, communément appelé « Monsieur 10 % ». On l'a affublé de ce surnom en raison des commissions qu'il a perçues sur tous les contrats signés ces dernières années.  Et dans le cas d'Hambantota, l'économiste revient sur un épisode de 2014, lorsque l'ancien gouvernement Sirisena étranglé par les dettes cherchait une issue de secours.« Le coût du crédit pour la construction du port était estimé à 1,2 milliard de dollars. Mais l'entreprise qui a construit le port a révélé que la construction avait coûté 900 millions. Où sont passés les 300 millions restants ? Personne ne le sait. Une enquête diligentée en 2014 et menée jusqu'en 2019 a simplement conclu que tout cet argent avait disparu. Il ne se trouve pas dans le pays, ni même en Chine. Cet argent apparaît sur des comptes à Dubaï ou dans des propriétés luxueuses en Grande-Bretagne. Des centaines de millions de dollars ont été blanchis sans qu'on ait pu apporter des preuves. »Piège de la dette ?En moins de 20 ans, les investissements chinois au Sri Lanka ont augmenté à près de 12 milliards de dollars. Aujourd'hui, le pays doit 10 % de sa dette totale et 20 % de sa dette publique à la Chine seule, soit la plus haute proportion parmi ses nombreux prêteurs.Etranglé par les prêts, Colombo a dû se résoudre à céder à la Chine l'exploitation de son port du Sud pour 99 ans. Hambantota est ainsi devenu l'exemple par excellence en Occident du « piège de la dette », un terme utilisé pour la première fois en juin 2018 dans une enquête du New York Times et qui a depuis été largement diffusé dans la presse occidentale et parmi les chercheurs pour dénoncer la stratégie prédatrice de la Chine. Le cas du Sri Lanka a dans le même temps écorné les grandes ambitions de prospérité véhiculées par Pékin dans sa promotion des mégaprojets associés aux « nouvelles routes de la soie ».Mais pour l'analyste économique Thilina Panduwawala, le terme de « piège de la dette » est inapproprié dans le cas du port d'Hambantota. Son travail de recherche consiste comme il dit à séparer « les mythes de la réalité ». Il revient sur les étapes successives du projet. « Les principaux bailleurs sont les Chinoises Exim Bank et China Development Bank. Les emprunts ont débuté vers l'an 2000. Entre 2007 et 2014, le Sri Lanka a emprunté 1,2 milliard pour la construction du port d'Hambantota. Dès 2016, il devient évident que le pays est incapable de rembourser ses dettes. Ranil Wickremesinghe alors Premier ministre évoque au Parlement le lourd fardeau de la dette. Il décide de louer le port à China Merchants Port Holdings en échange de 930 millions de dollars, afin de renflouer les caisses vides en devises étrangères, et d'éviter de contracter de nouvelles dettes. »C'est à partir de là que l'on commence à parler de confiscation des avoirs par la Chine. Or, en réalité, aucune clause de ce type n'existe dans le contrat, souligne Thilina Panduwawala qui affirme avoir consulté le contrat que lui et son équipe rendront public prochainement. « Le crédit contracté auprès d'Exim Bank continue d'être remboursé, la dette n'a pas été effacée et l'argent perçu par la signature du bail à servi à accroitre les réserves de change », conclut-il.Aruna Kulatunga réfute également la théorie du piège de la dette. Ce dernier explique comment le clan Rajapaksa, tout puissant au sortir de la guerre civile en 2009-2010, a cherché à asseoir sa popularité en se lançant dans des projets trop coûteux. « Si l'on regarde les chiffres, plus de la moitié des emprunts provient de créances privées, c'est-à-dire du marché obligataire, accordés à des taux assez élevés entre 4 et 8 %, tandis que les taux des prêts bilatéraux étaient plutôt bas de l'ordre de 3 ou 4 %. Le leadership de l'époque a été frappé par un égo démesuré. Pour perpétuer cette adoration, ils ont investi tous azimut sans se soucier des conséquences. »Toute la responsabilité repose, selon l'économiste politique, sur les autorités sri-lankaises. « Ce ne sont pas les Chinois qui sont arrivés pour nous dire prenez, prenez l'argent, c'est nous qui avons emprunté. On le sait maintenant, car les données commencent à sortir, que les Chinois nous ont conseillé d'aller doucement, de ne pas nous précipiter. »Principe de neutralitéLe résultat est là. La Chine contrôle désormais le port septentrional et Aruna Kulatunga craint les conséquences géopolitiques de cette situation. « Lorsque vous regardez la carte de l'Asie du Sud, vous voyez un port chinois au Pakistan, au Bangladesh et dans le sud du Sri Lanka. Ces ports forment un triangle parfait qui encercle l'Inde. Notre voisin a donc toutes les raisons de s'inquiéter. Car en cas de confrontation, et c'est possible, on ne peut pas l'exclure, l'Inde sera encerclée. Pourquoi avons-nous accepté cela ? Nous n'aurions jamais dû, ce n'était pas dans notre intérêt. »L'expert rappelle le principe de neutralité que son pays s'est toujours imposé dans l'histoire contemporaine. « Nous n'aurions jamais dû être entraînés dans cette rivalité. Nous aurions dû garder une politique d'ouverture de nos ports, de nos eaux territoriales, de notre espace aérien. Et non pas vendre ou louer. Et puis 99 ans, c'est long ! On dit que le centre d'affaires Port City à Colombo est un bail de 99 ans. En réalité, c'est bien plus : une partie restera chinoise à tout jamais ! »Selon Aruna Kulatunga, la Chine compte prochainement investir 4 milliards de dollars supplémentaires, notamment dans la construction d'une raffinerie de pétrole uniquement destinée à l'export. Parmi les candidats sont cités le Chinois Sinopec, le plus grand raffineur d'Asie, ou encore Aramco, le géant pétrolier saoudien.Pour comprendre l'importance du port d'Hambantota il suffit de regarder une mappemonde. Le port se situe à seulement 10 miles nautiques de la route maritime commerciale Est-Ouest la plus fréquentée au monde. Pour comprendre les enjeux de ce port sur la carte des « nouvelles routes de la soie », nous avons interrogé Yasiru Ranaraja, le directeur de BRI SL. Cette organisation internationale de développement et de conseil s'intéresse de près aux projets en lien avec les « nouvelles routes de la soie » au Sri Lanka et dans la région.« Les navires chinois qui transportent du pétrole passent par le détroit de Malacca. La Chine achète la grande majorité du pétrole à l'Arabie saoudite, ses navires empruntent la route maritime ouest/est qui passe par Hambantota, puis le détroit de Malacca jusqu'à la mer de Chine du Sud. S'il arrivait quelque chose, la Chine aurait un grave problème. »Selon Yasiru Ranaraja, l'initiative chinoise comporte plutôt des aspects positifs pour son pays. « Le Sri Lanka pourrait devenir à l'avenir l'emplacement idéal, une base pour le commerce de l'énergie dans la région. Je pense que le port est stratégiquement important aussi bien pour la Chine que pour nous. Le Parlement sri-lankais avait dès les années 1970 des projets pour ce port, ce n'est donc pas nouveau. »Le district d'Hambantota, considéré comme l'une des régions les plus pauvres du Sri Lanka, a bénéficié d'un flux d'investissements considérables. À ce jour, le port et ses 60 km2 de terrain n'ont pas produit les recettes escomptées. Les activités du complexe portuaire sont encore très loin du rêve de Colombo de transformer l'île en hub régional. Pour développer la région et rendre le port viable et lucratif, Pékin devra injecter dans les prochaines années des milliards de dollars supplémentaires. Des projets titanesques à mille lieux des préoccupations et des attentes de la population.
