Ségal: la CODES fusionne avec Pastef pour protéger le Projet de transformation sociale

La CODES, une organisation sénégalaise qui soutient le président Ousmane Sonko, a annoncé aujourd'hui sa fusion avec Pastef-Les Patriotes, un autre groupe politique. Cette décision suit des tendances observées récemment au sein du parti de l'Union pour la paix et le progrès (UPP), qui ont conduit à une polarisation croissante dans le champ politique sénégalais. Selon le document transmis par son Directoire, ce groupe a pris le contrôle du pouvoir en écartant les « véritables artisans de la révolution patriotique du 25 mars 2024 », la cible ultime étant toujours selon le communiqué, « le président Ousmane Sonko, guide de la révolution ». Cette décision, qui a été annoncée par le mouvement justifiant cette décision par la situation politique actuelle, est une réponse aux tensions croissantes...

Us military considers strikes against militant group in Mali amid rising threats

Current talks in Washington focus on potential US military action in Mali against the JNIM, with no final decision reached yet. The United States is exploring the possibility of expanding its military footprint in Africa by targeting the Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), an Al-Qaïda-linked militant faction operating in Mali. According to insider accounts, the administration under Donald Trump is actively considering airstrikes against the group, four years after France withdrew its forces from the region. While discussions are ongoing within the White House, no official confirmation has been issued. Sebastian Gorka, a counterterrorism advisor to the National Security Council, is reportedly pushing for military intervention, whereas other officials raise concerns about...

Niger three years after the coup: a deepening human rights crisis

Niger’s democratic pillars under sustained attack since July 2023 Three years after General Abdourahamane Tiani led a military takeover that removed democratically elected President Mohamed Bazoum, the country’s political landscape has been reshaped by repression, legal manipulation, and diplomatic isolation. A critical assessment by international observers confirms that the National Council for the Safeguarding of the Homeland (CNSP) has systematically dismantled democratic institutions to consolidate authoritarian control. Arbitrary detentions and a judiciary stripped of independence The continued detention of former President Mohamed Bazoum and his spouse remains one of the most visible signs of the regime’s unyielding stance. Despite repeated international appeals and rulings from UN ...
