Weite Teile der Nordwestschweiz, eine der wasserreicheren Regionen im Land, erinnern im Moment an die #Sahel. Von bewässerten Fussball- und Golfplätzen abgesehen ist alles verdorrt. Wiesen, Bäche, Parks, alles futsch.
Und es interessiert so gut wie kein Schwein. Nicht die Bevölkerung, nicht die Politik, niemanden. In den Zeitungen fragen sie, ob das nun höhere Preise für Milch, Benzin, Strom etc. bedeutet, das ist alles. Vom #Klima kein Wort.

Ceuta : Crise Migratoire ou Jeu de Puissance ?
Le contenu présente Ceuta non pas simplement comme une crise migratoire, mais comme un révélateur des tensions géopolitiques entre le Maroc, l'Algérie et l'Espagne. Les enjeux énergétiques et les contrôles frontaliers sont étroitement liés, illustrant que les flux humains, de gaz et d'informations font partie d'un système complexe où chaque acteur joue sur plusieurs tableaux pour renforcer sa position.https://geo-connect.fr/2026/08/09/ceuta-crise-migratoire-ou-jeu-de-puissance/

Quand la mer d’Azov se ferme, l’Afrique paie le prix de la guerre
La mer d’Azov joue un rôle crucial dans la guerre russo-ukrainienne, impactant les exportations céréalières et la sécurité alimentaire mondiale. La navigation est entravée, entraînant des hausses de prix et des tensions dans des régions vulnérables comme le Sahel et le Soudan, où l'insécurité alimentaire s'aggrave. Une réponse internationale est essentielle.https://geo-connect.fr/2026/08/05/quand-la-mer-dazov-se-ferme-lafrique-paie-le-prix-de-la-guerre/

Traoré's strategy of combining geopolitical education with practical arms training directly neutralises the standard imperialist playbook in the Sahel. By militarising a politically conscious youth demographic, Burkina Faso is building a structural deterrent against external interference and foreign-backed proxy destabilisation.
Historically, neocolonial extraction relies on an unorganised and politically disengaged populace to maintain pliant regimes. Equipping 65,000 citizens with both a material understanding of global power dynamics and the physical capacity for self-defence creates a massive barrier to subjugation. It shifts the national security apparatus away from a reliance on foreign military pacts, which routinely serve the interests of capital and empire, and places it firmly in the hands of the masses.
This is a great and welcome shift in Africa. If only my nation's leaders were not compromised, greed-fuelled sock puppets.

🟡 Insurgent activity | 7/10
🇲🇱Radical Islamists intensify activity in central Mali
Radical Islamists, after failing in northern Mali, increased activity in Segou and Koulikoro provinces, drawing attention of Malian Armed Forces and possibly Russian military. -
I am an anti-imperialist, and in general, I agree with your posts. However, we should not blindly narrate a straightforward anti-imperialist story in the context of the Sahel states. (Not saying you are doing that, but many of your mutuals and followers may be.) I think this May 4, 2026 article, this follow-up from May 19, 2026, and this July 02, 2026 report on Burkina Faso receiving the Israeli ambassador with fanfare, should together provide some context. (The May 4 article also raises doubts about Ukraine's purported support to the Tuareg separatists in Mali.)
postscript:
@rzeta0I saw your posts elsewhere wondering about the roles of Russia and China in the U.S.-Iran war. The May 4 article I linked above messes up simple narratives of an Iran-Russia alliance, without even taking into account the historical baggage of the earlier centuries. Doesn't mean there is no alliance, just that we should refrain from simplistic narratives.
Same with the Iran-China alliance—you must keep in mind that a significant proportion of Iranians still look up to life in the U.S. and the West as something to aspire to (despite their rage against Western imperialism), not (yet) to life in China; and that has had an effect on the foreign policies of the Iranian government. During the brief period of the JCPOA, for example, practically all the business contracts in Iran went to Western corporations, despite the Chinese often offering superior deals. Even today, there is a strong pro-U.S. neoliberal section in the Iranian government that wants Iran to be a part of the U.S.-led international order. So it isn't particularly surprising to see the Chinese hesitating to go all in. These are not the only factors, of course. Again, the lesson is to refrain from simplistic narratives.

Russian mercenaries from the Africa Corps, which has replaced the well-known Wagner Group in providing support to the Malian army, are deploying new combat drones in Mali. Frequently found on the frontlines in Ukraine, these drones are now entering the Sahel region – an environment for which they were not designed.

Today, with @UNICEF, we brought attention to the humanitarian situation facing children in the #Sahel through our #ChildrenInCrisis series. The message was clear: protect humanitarian space, strengthen protection, build resilience and local capacities, and close funding gaps.

Well said!
We should not accept people being forced out of their accustomed homes anywhere, whether in #Gaza, #Lebanon, #Ukraine or the #Sahel; whether by violence, by impoverishment, or by environmental degradation.
