Le couperet est tombé, matérialisant une fracture prévisible, cette rupture, mais hautement symbolique dans le paysage géopolitique ouest-africain. Le gouvernement de transition du Burkina Faso a officiellement annoncé ce vendredi 26 juin 2026 la rupture de ses relations diplomatiques avec la République française. C'est par la voix du porte-parole du gouvernement, Pingdwendé Gilbert Ouédraogo, lors d'un communiqué solennel lu à la télévision nationale, que le pouvoir dirigé par le capitaine Ibrahim Traoré a acté la fin de ses liens institutionnels avec Paris.

Critics are outraged that the Trump administration is moving to roll back chemical safety rules even as the U.S. faces deadly industrial chemical incidents.

Last week, in Washington state, a chemical tank imploded at a paper industry plant, killing 11 people.

And earlier last month, about 50,000 people were told to evacuate in Southern California because an overheating chemical tank was at risk of exploding.

His administration wants a more clear advantage than the current USMCA offers so he's decided not to renew sparking an uncertain future

It is virtually certain that the trade agreement between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico (USMCA) negotiated in President Donald Trump's first term will not be renewed by the deadline of June 30. And indeed, Trump confirmed Wednesday that he would not be reauthorizing the agreement before the July 1 deadline.

As Astana builds AI infrastructure and eyes 1GW capacity, the real story is distancing from Russia, not pan-Turkic dreams.

According to Turkist/Turanist ideology, Kazakhstan is considered one of the most important components of the envisioned "Greater Turan." This distant relative community in Central Asia has, for some time, been taking concrete steps toward "independence," framed as efforts to break free from "Russian influence."

Trump's NATO circus finds an unlikely hero in Erdogan, as Turkey's rise signals a new era - and a sharp rebuke to a rogue Netanyahu.

Can there be anything more farcical than the recent visit of the NATO Secretary General to the White House ? Mark Rutte's embarrassing presentation of what a wonderful "daddy" Donald Trump is to the free world was surely a cast-iron confirmation that the main role of this NATO boss is to be a snivelling sycophant to the U.S.

Lincoln's "government of the people" was real - once. In early America, weak state power, direct elections, and citizen militias made democracy tangible. But capitalism's rise and elite consolidation would soon erase that world.

"Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth." The famous phrase uttered by Abraham Lincoln in the Gettysburg Address in 1863 became one of the most well-known definitions of American democracy and one of the symbolic pillars of the national identity of the United States.

On en était au système bancaire et aux marchés obligataires. Qui viennent de prendre un vieux coup. Et les actions ? D'abord saisies du côté des épargnants - du côté des riches. Les fortunes, à l'enthousiasme un peu refroidi avec les obligations, ne pourraient-elles aller s'investir dans les actions ? En effet, ce ne sera pas impossible. Il faut toutefois leur faire connaître là encore les nouvelles conditions qui viennent avec cette possibilité.

"Nous sommes les générations futures des années 80." La formule, lancée par Olivier Hamant au fil de l'entretien, donne le ton. Biologiste à l'École normale supérieure de Lyon, directeur de l'Institut Michel Serres, auteur d'Antidote au culte de la performance et de La Troisième Voie du vivant, il explore le vivant pour en tirer une thèse importante : notre obsession de la performance ne nous rend pas plus forts, elle nous fragilise.

Con la Russia e la Cina che osservano e l'Asse della Resistenza in gioco, la firma tesa di Pezeshkian sembra suggerire: "Speriamo di aver fatto la cosa giusta".

C'è qualcosa di strano in tutto quello che sta accadendo. Il nuovo assetto del Medio Oriente è potenzialmente destinato al successo, ma sono ancora troppi i punti interrogativi aperti che non hanno ricevuto risposta.
