Pope Leo says all of us are migrants during visit to Canary Islands to highlight migrant plight

Pope Leo XIV visited the Canary Islands on Thursday to draw attention to the dangerous journeys migrants take trying to reach Europe. During his two-day trip to the Spanish island of Gran Canaria, the Pope met with migrants who have crossed the Atlantic from West Africa seeking better lives in Europe. The Pope emphasized that migrants should not be treated as statistics or cases. He told the crowd, "You are not mere statistics or files; you are human beings." He bowed in respect to their inherent dignity and called for a humane and welcoming approach to migration. In Arguineguín, a southern port that migrants frequently use, Pope Leo stressed the urgent need for legal and safe pathways for migration. He urged Europe to avoid becoming desensitized to its seas turning into unmarked graves and to recognize that countless people risk […]

Trump’s Ukraine Aid Cuts Undermine Justice for Russian War Crimes

Investigations into alleged Russian war crimes in Ukraine are facing severe strain after the Trump administration slashed millions in U.S. funding for war-crimes accountability initiatives, jeopardizing efforts to document atrocities and prosecute perpetrators. The U.S. once championed accountability for some of the world's worst atrocities, but the Trump administration has cut tens of millions of dollars in funding for these initiatives as part of a broader strategy to prioritize domestic interests under its "America First" agenda. Since 2022, Reuters has tracked over $283 million in U.S. funding designated for war-crimes initiatives in Ukraine. Roksolana Makar, who leads the organization Truth Hounds and braved icy roads and drone strikes to interview torture survivors in Izium, expressed grave concern over diminishing prospects for accountability. The U.S. cessation of funding has left her organization and many others struggling to continue documenting crucial evidence […]

One year on, US-Europe security ties face deep uncertainty

One year after a controversial speech by US Vice-President JD Vance at the Munich Security Conference, transatlantic relations remain under severe strain. In February last year, Vance stunned his audience by accusing Europe of undermining itself through its migration and free speech policies, arguing that the continent’s greatest threat came from within. Since then, the Trump administration has profoundly reshaped global politics. Over the past year, Washington has imposed punitive tariffs on both allies and rivals, carried out an audacious operation in Venezuela, pushed uneven peace efforts in Ukraine widely seen as favourable to Moscow, and even suggested that Canada should become the “51st state” of the United States. These moves have unsettled partners and rivals alike. As the Munich Security Conference opens again later this week, expectations are high. The US delegation will be led by Secretary of State […]

Zelenskyy pushes Trump for longer US security guarantee

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy wants a long term US security guarantee, including foreign troops on Ukrainian soil, after his talks with US president Donald Trump in Florida. He said such troops would provide real protection and give any deal real weight.​ Zelenskyy revealed that he asked for a 50 year security guarantee from Washington, but Trump offered 15 years in the current draft. The documents now outline a 15 year term with an option to extend, and Zelenskyy is urging the US to lengthen it to 30, 40 or even 50 years.​ He said he hopes Trump will take what he called a historic decision by agreeing to a longer guarantee. According to Zelenskyy, Trump has promised that the US will consider the request.​ Zelenskyy also broke down the status of his 20 point peace plan after the Florida talks. […]

L’Afrique face à la recomposition géopolitique mondiale

Le monde traverse une phase de recomposition géopolitique profonde, marquée par des signaux de réalignements stratégiques entre grandes puissances. Dans cette réflexion, Nathaniel Olympio s’interroge sur l’avenir des alliances traditionnelles et sur la capacité de l’Afrique à exister pleinement dans un ordre international en mutation. L’hypothèse d’un rapprochement durable entre les États-Unis et la Russie alimente de nombreuses interrogations. Si une telle dynamique venait à se confirmer, elle pourrait redessiner les équilibres établis depuis des décennies. Une conséquence majeure serait l’affaiblissement, voire la remise en cause, de l’alliance historique entre Washington et l’Europe, pilier central de l’architecture politique et sécuritaire occidentale depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Dans ce scénario, l’Europe pourrait être amenée à rechercher de nouveaux partenariats stratégiques, notamment avec la Chine, afin de préserver ses intérêts économiques et géopolitiques. Parallèlement, certaines rivalités régionales anciennes, comme celles opposant l’Inde […]

Ukraine-Russia War: Ukraine Calls for Trump-Zelensky Meeting in US This Week

Ukraine’s national security chief says Kyiv hopes to arrange a US visit for President Volodymyr Zelensky this month to complete a peace agreement with President Donald Trump. A US official told the BBC that Ukraine has “agreed to a peace deal”—though some details still need sorting out. The White House has not confirmed talks, but US and Russian representatives are set to meet in Abu Dhabi to discuss the plan. After fierce criticism from Europe, counter-proposals drafted by the UK, France, and Germany modified the initial US plan, removing recognition of Russian-held territories, allowing Ukraine a larger army, and keeping the door open to NATO membership. Zelensky welcomed these changes, calling the plan “doable,” and noting: “Many correct elements have been incorporated.” Despite ongoing negotiations, the war rages on. At least six people were killed overnight in Russian strikes on […]

Europe ‘Not Ready’ for Russian Drone Attack – EU Defence Chief

Europe is “not ready” to defend itself from a potential Russian drone attack, EU defence chief warns, urging swift action to build continent-wide air defences and integrate Ukraine’s battlefield drone innovations. With Russian drones recently breaching EU and NATO airspace, concerns are rising over the ability of European states to counter evolving threats. The EU aims to accelerate joint procurement and deploy advanced anti-drone systems by 2027, as part of a strategy to be fully prepared for future conflicts by 2030. The bloc also plans closer NATO coordination and stronger protection for critical infrastructure like airports and energy facilities. Officials stress that while Russia cannot yet launch a direct drone assault on Europe, vulnerabilities remain. The EU is set to deepen its partnership with Ukraine, aiming for a “joint drone alliance” in 2026 to capitalize on Kyiv’s expertise and experience […]

One-Third of Europe’s Doctors, Nurses Have Depression – WHO

A new World Health Organization (WHO) report reveals a mental health crisis among healthcare workers in Europe, with one in three doctors and nurses suffering from depression or anxiety. This rate is five times higher than in the general population. The study also found that more than one in ten health workers have had suicidal thoughts. Key factors driving this crisis include workplace violence, consistently long hours, and night shifts. The report highlighted that nurses and female doctors are more likely to experience depression, while male doctors show a higher tendency toward alcohol addiction. Countries like Latvia and Poland reported the highest depression levels, while Denmark and Iceland had the lowest. The WHO is calling for urgent measures, including zero tolerance for violence and reduced working hours, to address the crisis and prevent a looming shortage of nearly one million […]

Affaire Goma : Lomé dénonce une pression européenne jugée biaisée

L’affaire Abdoul Aziz Goma continue d’alimenter les débats à Lomé comme à l’étranger. Condamné le 3 février 2025 à dix ans de réclusion criminelle pour « complot contre la sécurité intérieure de l’État » et « groupement de malfaiteurs », l’intéressé bénéficie toujours de voies de recours. Pourtant, certains cercles européens tentent d’en faire un sujet de pression politique au Parlement européen, notamment à Bruxelles et à Paris. À Lomé, les autorités dénoncent une ingérence extérieure et une volonté d’« instrumentaliser » un dossier relevant du strict cadre judiciaire togolais. « Le Togo n’a fait qu’appliquer ses lois, tout en assurant au prévenu un suivi médical régulier validé par la CNDH », affirme une source proche du gouvernement. Pour plusieurs responsables, cette agitation reflète une attitude « condescendante » de l’Europe, accusée d’imposer une vision à « deux vitesses » […]

Trump and Putin Align on Europe as Ukraine Peace Talks Stall

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin appear to be finding common ground again, with both leaders turning their focus toward Europe amid stalled diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine. Their positions converge just three weeks after their high-profile but largely unproductive summit in Alaska. On Thursday, Trump urged European leaders to take on more responsibility in handling the Ukraine crisis. Ironically, most of the ongoing diplomatic movement has come from Europe itself, as transatlantic allies work to design long-term security guarantees for Ukraine in the event of a peace agreement. The US president’s latest comments follow his announcement that he intends to speak with Putin again soon to determine “what we’re going to be doing.” Trump avoided confirming whether the US would impose severe direct sanctions on Russia if Moscow continues to stall peace talks, saying only: “Whatever his […]
