Une récente enquête d'Afrobarometer révèle une chute inquiétante du soutien à la démocratie en Afrique du Sud : pour la première fois en 25 ans, le nombre de citoyens favorables à un régime militaire dépasse celui de ceux qui s'y opposent.
Cecil Rhodes' green tomb: A symbol of living colonialism
Bruna Frascolla
It's curious that a country like Zimbabwe is reconciled with its foundation, while the countries of Ibero-America are considered the product of genocide, invasion, and rape.
Among advocates of the Palestinian cause, it usual to compare the colonialism practiced in Africa to the regime imposed by Israel on the inhabitants of former British Palestine. The practice is pointing out the similarities between the South African Bantustans and the stateless Palestinians in Gaza and in the myriad of enclaves into which the West Bank is crumbling.
La Cina è pronta a combattere sulle terre rare

Quando diventi la più grande potenza economica del mondo, non puoi non prepararti ad una battaglia.
Pronti a tutto
Quando diventi la più grande potenza economica del mondo, non puoi non prepararti ad una battaglia.
Ecco che la Cina è pronta a combattere per garantirsi il primato delle terre rare.
Mentre l'attenzione mondiale era concentrata sul cosiddetto cessate il fuoco "imposto" dal presidente degli Stati Uniti Donald Trump a Gaza, sul suo "Piano di pace" in 20 punti e sulle manovre diplomatiche in Asia occidentale, una decisione inaspettata da parte di Pechino ha improvvisamente ridisegnato sia la mappa economica globale che il quadro delle relazioni tra Stati Uniti e Cina.
Northward: What the U.s. wants to do in the Arctic over the next decade
Lorenzo Maria Pacini
Continuing our analysis of U.S. Arctic strategies, we must ask ourselves what they have in store for the near future, over the next 10-15 years.

Between 2025 and 2034, the Central Arctic Ocean (CAO) is likely to experience temporary ice melt during the month of September on some occasions.
European taxpayers will soon have to keep Zelensky 'in the fight'
Ian Proud
The truth is that Russia has the money to fight on for as long as it takes and Ukraine does not, Ian Proud writes.
In yet another shift from European leaders, the strategy now towards the war is 'keeping Ukraine in the fight'. However, the outcome - Russian occupation of all of Donetsk - appears inevitable, whether that's now or in the future. So if the Eurocrats can't strong arm Belgium in allowing the illegal expropriation of Russian assets, then it will be ordinary European tax payers who have to pay for Zelensky's fight.
La Città Proibita di Pechino come promemoria delle divergenze tra Cina e Taiwan
Davide Rossi
Le celebrazioni cinesi per il centenario del museo della Città Proibita riaprono il contenzioso con Taiwan per le opere trafugate nel 1948
I media cinesi hanno dato grande rilievo al centenario, 10 ottobre 1925 - 2025, della trasformazione della Città Proibita in spazio museale, il significato di tale avvenimento travalica di molto il semplice dato culturale, rappresentando questo luogo la centralità del potere nel passato, ma anche e soprattutto nel presente, essendo dalla Porta della Pace Celeste, che dà il nome all'omonima antistante piazza Tienanmen, che Mao Ze Dong e gli altri dirigenti rivoluzionari comunisti hanno dichiarato la nascita della Repubblica Popolare di Cina il 1° ottobre 1949, così come presso la Porta della Pace Celeste si sono celebrati i momenti più significativi della vita nazionale da allora ad oggi, da ultimo il 3 settembre 2025 le celebrazioni dell'80° della fine del secondo conflitto mondiale per il quale sono caduti venti milioni di cinesi, alla presenza insieme al presidente Xi Jinping di decine di capi di stato e di governo di tutto il pianeta a partire dal presidente russo Vladimir Putin.

"But these weren't the kind of monsters that had tentacles and rotting skin, the kind a seven-year-old might be able to wrap his mind around-they were monsters with human faces, in crisp uniforms, marching in lockstep, so banal you don't recognize them for what they are until it's too late."-Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
How Much Longer Can Putin Ignore Reality?

Russia's President Putin should read The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli and ponder the famous statement that "it is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both." Putin's problem is that he is neither loved nor feared.
Western propaganda has made him unloved, and Putin himself has made himself not feared. President Trump now mocks Putin's Russia as a "paper tiger." Putin after four years of conflict hasn't won a war he should have won, as I have said so many times and as Trump now says, in one week.
Democrats and Their Lawfare
By J.B. Shurk

The Democrat party is the undisputed champion of lawfare - the corrupt practice of using the legal system to persecute perceived political enemies and deprive non-Democrats of their constitutional rights. Donald Trump had a clean criminal record for the first seventy years of his life. After he became the Republican standard-bearer, dirty Democrat lawyers unleashed an avalanche of meritless criminal investigations, prosecutions, and civil suits that have continued to this day.
