A Abidjan, « Pouvoir et Influences Côte d’Ivoire», en sigle Pi Côte d’Ivoire, est née de 3 faits partagés par la jeunesse ivoirienne et africaine. D’abord, le constat d’une crise de la démocratie dans nos états qui se manifeste au niveau de la jeunesse. Ensuite, une méfiance voire une rupture de confiance envers les acteurs politiques et les médias publics. Enfin, une volonté de changement, de rupture avec le classicisme politique et les pratiques de gouvernance est portée par la jeunesse africaine. Présentation / Abidjan, le 24 mars 2025

L’antisémitisme fait les manchettes des journaux. Le premier ministre israélien qualifie d’antisémite l’accusation qu’Israël réalise un génocide à Gaza, voire les étudiants partout dans le monde qui demandent le cessez-le-feu. La guerre dans la bande de Gaza provoque en effet des actes antisémites visant des synagogues et des écoles juives. Il est donc important de comprendre ce qu’est l’antisémitisme et en quoi il faut le distinguer de l’antisionisme? Yakov RABKIN / Montréal, le 30 avril 2025

After defending a thesis on "population and territories of Peru between 1876 and 2005" at the University of Paris 5, Vidal Pino was able, as mayor of Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire, to put into practice his years of multidisciplinary research in relation to the economic and cultural legacies of the Inca civilization. University professor, doctor in ethnology and sociology, Vidal agreed to be the I-Dialogos Correspondent in Peru. He has just published: "Los Incas, Población y Producción entre la fantasia y la realidad". In this interview below, and based on his experience, Victor Vidal Pino Zambrano offers us some keys to try to better understand the contemporary geopolitical reality / Cusco (PERU), January 13, 2025

Entretien de Jean-Claude Mairal, coprésident de I-Dialogos, avec Nicolas Leymonerie, responsable du Centre Francophone Antenne de Dalat au Vietnam et membre du bureau du Réseau international des Maisons des francophonies (RIMF). Le prochain sommet de la Francophonie aura lieu au Cambodge en 2026, 29 ans après celui qui a eu lieu à Hanoï. Il serait donc opportun pour les organisations, françaises et de la Francophonie, qui souhaitent soutenir la francophonie vietnamienne et indochinoise puissent s’impliquer dans la préparation de ce grand rendez-vous./ Dalat le 27 février 2025

The current conflict between Hamas and Israel has brought the Israeli-Palestinian issue back to the center of international debate, renewing attention to the open wounds and fundamental challenges that make it difficult to find a solution that meets the dreams and needs of both peoples. The historical roots of this crisis lie in a complex mix of events, hopes and demands, linked to this Promised Land that was once part of the vast mosaic of the Ottoman Empire. Ottoman Palestine was a complex and multifaceted society, characterized by considerable ethnic and religious diversity/ Désirée QUAGLIAROTTI in LAB politiche e culture. Naples, January 24, 2025.

Burkinabe elected official Reine Bénao Sakandé launches a heartbreaking appeal from Ougadougou in the face of the silence of international public opinion. There is an urgent need to protect young girls from early and forced marriages and mass rapes resulting from the rise of terrorism in Africa, particularly in the Sahel. Laws exist but their application leaves something to be desired. In these societies that have become real jungles, men have sometimes become "wolves to women". Reine sounds the alarm for awareness-raising to accompany the rigorous application of laws, in order to restore women to their true place alongside men, and vice versa. / Reine Benao Sakandé, co-president of I-Dialogos, is a former member of parliament and Permanent Secretary of the National Council for the Fight against the Practice of Excision in Burkina Faso.

The National Conferences of the 1990s, intended to reestablish social pacts, failed to anchor themselves in a genuine dynamic of transformation. Current tensions, whether security-related, community-based, or linguistic, are largely rooted in unresolved historical injustices. In Niger, for example, the controversy sparked by Article 12 of the Refoundation Charter illustrates the persistent weaknesses of the national fabric. The debate surrounding the status of national languages highlights a long-standing malaise, fueled by a language policy perceived as discriminatory. Abdoulahi ATTAYOUB. Lyon, May 18, 2025

The arrival of Donald Trump at the White House and his sensational statements have completely changed the international situation. Even the Europeans, who had refused any dialogue, any negotiation with the Russians, are asking not to be excluded... With the intensification of the conflict between NATO and Russia in Ukraine, are we even aware that we are living "the most dangerous period in history"? Before the sanctions, more than 80% of Russians were in favor of the European Union. Today, it is the opposite. / Vladimir FEDOROVSKI is a writer and former diplomat close to Mikhail Gorbachev.

"The absence of the elite in public action is not something new and its worrying silence in the face of the events that Morocco is experiencing, and not only Morocco, is not new either. But the question is becoming obsessive because this situation gives the impression that the country is orphaned of its political elite, that the mediation relays of power are failing and that the gap is widening more and more between society and its political elite. Our society is in disarray. This is due above all to the inability of our leaders and our elites to carry out change to the end." Ali SEDJARI, is a professor at Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco, president of CERIPP and co-president of I-Dialogos. / September 28, 2024

A few weeks ago, I paraphrased Marx's nearly two-century-old words: "A specter is haunting Europe—the specter of insignificance." Recent events suggest that this specter is fast becoming a reality. With the European Union and Great Britain in a state of flux, expressing unconditional support for the Ukrainian government and urging it to continue the fight, the Ukrainian crisis is no longer central to the dialogue between Russia and the United States. It is now just one issue—and perhaps not the most important one—in the growing strategic discussion between Moscow and Washington, a discussion that excludes Europe. / Montreal, March 25, 2025

For a lasting peace to finally be possible in UKRAINE, the best solution, according to Jeffrey SACHS, Professor at Columbia and Special Advisor to UN Secretary-General Antonio Gutteres, would be to place security guarantees under the authority of the UN Security Council. This would mean that the United States, China, Russia, the United Kingdom and France would all be co-guarantors, alongside the rest of the UN Security Council. This would subject security guarantees to international scrutiny. While Russia could veto a future UN Security Council resolution on Ukraine, it would then face the opprobrium of China and the world if it acted arbitrarily in defiance of the will of the rest of the UN.
