La capacité de la France et de l’Europe à bâtir avec l'Afrique est déterminante pour notre avenir.

Despite France's evolving role in European nuclear deterrence, political and material credibility gaps persist. @RymMomtaz, @SophiaBesch, & @DrUlrichKuehn discussed what Europe needs for integrated nuclear deterrence to be effective. Listen here: europe-inside-out.simplecast.com/episodes/canfr…

Je crois à un partenariat équilibré entre l’Afrique et la France. C’est le sens de la transformation que nous menons depuis 10 ans. On continue, en avant !

Le choix de Nairobi pour le sommet France-Afrique est symbolique de la tentative de relance de la politique africaine d’Emmanuel Macron, contournant l’héritage colonial. Ma chronique géopolitique du 7/10 @franceinter radiofrance.fr/franceinter/po…

Growth is not all, and GDP limitations are well known. However, despite ODA decline, highest cost of capital, imported inflation and volatile commodity prices, it is a remarkable proof of resilience that Africa is forecasted to attain the best continental world performance in GDP growth.

French President Macron: We are the true pan-Africanists. We believe that Africa is a continent, and that this continent has an enormous amount to build. It is the youngest in the world, and therefore has an extraordinary demographic dividend. It is the one with the greatest growth in the world. Last year, it had growth slightly higher than that of Southeast Asia.

This article by Robert Kagan is worth reading. It is a searing assessment of the catastrophic failure of the Israel-U.S. war on Iran, calling it a defeat. It is also perhaps best captures how Iran sees things and why it is not submitting to Trump’s demands in the talks 👇🏼 “There will be no return to the status quo ante, no ultimate American triumph that will undo or overcome the harm done. The Strait of Hormuz will not be “open,” as it once was. With control of the strait, Iran emerges as the key player in the region and one of the key players in the world. The roles of China and Russia, as Iran’s allies, are strengthened; the role of the United States, substantially diminished. Far from demonstrating American prowess, as supporters of the war have repeatedly claimed, the conflict has revealed an America that is unreliable and incapable of finishing what it started. That is going to set off a chain reaction around the world as friends and foes adjust to America’s failure. President Trump likes to talk about who has “the cards,” but whether he has any good ones left to play is not clear. The United States and Israel pounded Iran with devastating effectiveness for 37 days, killing much of the country’s leadership and destroying the bulk of its military, yet couldn’t collapse the regime or exact even the smallest concession from it. Now the Trump administration hopes that blockading Iran’s ports will accomplish what massive force could not. It’s possible, of course, but a regime that could not be brought to its knees by five weeks of unrelenting military attack is unlikely to buckle in response to economic pressure alone.” theatlantic.com/international/…

#Iran : ne pas avoir perdu la guerre permet au régime de Teheran de faire monter les enchères, sur tous les sujets, notamment sur le nucleaire, en jouant sur le calendrier du sommet Trump-Xi dans 3 jours. Mes explications ce matin @BFMTV

Thank you my dear friend President @WilliamsRuto. Africa Forward!
