Secularists took to media outlets denouncing another attempt, they believed, by Ennahdha to undermine Tunisia&#8217;s modernist model. Besides, feminist figures such as Nayla Selliti fiercely criticised the minister of religious affairs, Dr. Mohamed Khalil. The minister of education Neji Jelloul was not spared either the secularists&#8217; media campaign who accused him of collusion with Ennahdha and giving in to Islamists, in an attempt to gain popularity for the sake of his political career. The minister of education took to the airwaves and explained that he is a member of Nidaa Tounes, and that as a secularist and modernist he defends the proposal. Jelloul explained that the proposal was the result of brainstorming at a mini-cabinet meeting aimed at offering pupils of inland towns and villages more access to summer camps organised usually in the facilities of schools in coastal towns. The activities usually included sports, singing, drawing, and other entertainment offerings. The whole affair coincided with the holding in Sousse of an international conference on peace and dialogue. Prime Minister Habib Essid seized the opportunity to remind all that Tunisia strives to remain an oasis of moderation promoting generations solidly anchored in their history and heritage while open to other cultures. The conference concluded by the signature of a joint agreement between the ministries of education and religious affairs to coordinate the use of schools during summer schools for the teaching of the Quran by school teachers only. Beyond the media row a number of non-Islamist intellectuals and public opinion figures felt the need to warn extremist secularists against the dangers of combating elements of Tunisian identity in the name of modernism. They called for a distinction between Islam and Islamism. Others commented that even under Bourguiba&#8217;s and Ben Ali&#8217;s years of repression a minimum space for religion in the public sphere was allowed, especially the teaching of the Quran on which there is consensus among Muslim Tunisians. Such positions by some extremist secularists feed the narrative developed by violent religious extremists to justify their violent actions and mobilise youth who do not identify with the modernist model promoted by some secularists in Tunisia and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><em>Links for more information:<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/kapitalis.com\/tunisie\/2016\/04\/19\/habib-essid-appelle-a-rehabiliter-la-pensee-critique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/kapitalis.com\/tunisie\/2016\/04\/19\/habib-essid-appelle-a-rehabiliter-la-pensee-critique<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/arabi21.com\/story\/904009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/arabi21.com\/story\/904009<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/kapitalis.com\/tunisie\/2016\/04\/23\/neji-jalloul-ou-lenfumage-mediatique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/kapitalis.com\/tunisie\/2016\/04\/23\/neji-jalloul-ou-lenfumage-mediatique<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/assafir.tn\/%D8%AA%D8%AD%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%B8-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%B1%D8%A2%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%83%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%85-%D8%B3%D9%8A%D9%83%D9%88%D9%86-%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D8%B4%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%81-%D9%85%D8%B4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/assafir.tn\/%D8%AA%D8%AD%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%B8<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=K3wg6Bv6ekA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=K3wg6Bv6ekA<\/a> (Minister Neji Jelloul defending his position)<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OKVWxNZ0fXs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OKVWxNZ0fXs<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #902323;\"><strong>TRANSITION AND POLITICAL PARTICIPATION \/ TRANSITION ET PARTICIPATION POLITIQUE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt, 20.04 .2016- 02.05.2016: Police aggression against anti-Sisi protest in Cairo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On 2 May 2016, Egypt&#8217;s journalists&#8217; syndicate called for the dismissal of the interior minister and an immediate sit-in at its headquarters in downtown Cairo, to protest against the police detention of two journalists on its premises the night earlier. The two journalists, Amr Badr and Mahmoud el-Sakka, are government critics who work for a website known as January Gate, also critical of the government of Sisi. On 25 April, the police fired tear gas and birdshot to disperse anti-government protesters in Cairo. The central issue raised by the protests was Egypt&#8217;s recent decision to surrender to Saudi Arabia control of two strategic Red Sea islands in a surprise deal. Protesters chanted for the first time &#8220;leave, leave&#8221; and &#8220;bread, freedom, the islands are Egyptian.&#8221; A leading human rights group said it had documented 133 arrests in just three hours, including 11 journalists. Sisi urged citizens to defend the state and its institutions from the &#8220;forces of evil,&#8221; a day before the protests. A few days previously, US Secretary of State John Kerry showed strong support for the government of Sisi, in an apparent effort to repair a public rift over human rights. Most recently, Egyptian police prevented hundreds of workers from holding a meeting in Cairo to commemorate International Workers&#8217; Day, while independent trade union leaders urged the government to allow them freedom of assembly. According to Human Rights Watch, &#8220;Egyptian security forces allegedly tortured a group of 20 people, eight of them children, in February 2016, after an arrest sweep in Alexandria.&#8221; The rights group reported that at least 7,420 Egyptian civilians have been tried in military courts mainly on charges of taking part in anti-government protests over the past 18 months (since October 2014, when Sisi decreed a major new law that expanded the jurisdiction of military courts).<\/p>\n<p><em>Links for more information:<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/aponline\/2016\/05\/02\/world\/middleeast\/ap-ml-egypt.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/aponline\/2016\/05\/02\/world\/middleeast\/ap-ml-egypt<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-middle-east-36132385\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-middle-east<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/middle_east\/police-deployed-across-egypts-capital-ahead-of-protests\/2016\/04\/25\/8c34954e-0abe-11e6-bc53-db634ca94a2a_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/middle_east\/police-deployed-across-egypts-capital<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2016\/04\/20\/politics\/kerry-el-sisi-human-rights-egypt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2016\/04\/20\/politics\/kerry-el-sisi-human-rights-egypt<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/world\/africa\/egypt-protests-president-sisi-citizens-demonstration-government-forces-of-evil-a6999476.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/world\/africa\/egypt-protests-president-sisi<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/middle_east\/egypt-labor-activist-says-police-blocking-workers-assembly\/2016\/05\/01\/5b23d998-0fa9-11e6-a9b5-bf703a5a7191_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/middle_east\/egypt-labor-activist<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2016\/04\/21\/egypt-children-reported-tortured-disappeared\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2016\/04\/21\/egypt-children-reported-tortured-disappeared<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.presstv.ir\/Detail\/2016\/04\/14\/460721\/Human-Rights-watch-Egypt-court-protest-Sisi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.presstv.ir\/Detail\/2016\/04\/14\/460721\/Human-Rights-watch-Egypt-court-protest-Sisi<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Iraq, 27.04.16 &#8211; 01.05.16: Protestors Storm Iraqi Parliament over Reforms to the Sectarian Government System.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Political relations in Iraq, which have been in the spotlight after many weeks of parliamentary in-fighting, are under serious strain after a dramatic expression of popular discontent from Saturday 30 April to Sunday 1 May.<\/p>\n<p>With the influence of Muqtada al-Sadr behind them, Iraqi protestors have been demanding immediate reform and the election of a technocratic government, unaffiliated to powerful but divided parliamentary blocs. So far, Prime Minister Hayder al-Abadi has been unable to achieve any agreement amongst Iraqi MPs regarding his proposed lists of candidates. Indicatively, on 26 April, a vote was taken for new ministers of health, water resources, labour and social affairs, higher education, electricity and culture, but a number of &#8220;protesting MPs [were] barred from entering the hall or taking part in the vote.&#8221; An article in Al Araby Al Jadeed reported that some MPs &#8211; with links to former prime minister Nouri al-Maliki &#8211; demanded that Abadi and the speaker of parliament, Salim al-Jabouri, step down, as well as President Fuad Masum. The parliamentarian, Risan Sheikh, from the Kurdish Change bloc, told Al-Monitor that if &#8220;Abadi intends to form a government of technocrats&#8230; this is a positive step&#8230; but it is difficult for Abadi to head this government as long as he insists on remaining affiliated with the Dawa Party.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to NIQASH, the current political stalemate in the Iraqi parliament is not driven by sectarian divisions, but rather, &#8220;when one considers the motives of the politicians involved&#8230; their aim is clearly not reform. Rather they are acting out of their own partisan interests, or self-interest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Demonstrating the extent of their anger with the country&#8217;s political crisis, and expressing a deep frustration with the lack of progress among elected officials, thousands of protesters stormed the parliament on the Saturday, after breaking into the Baghdad Green Zone (one of the world&#8217;s most high-security institutional quarters). Numerous commentators noted concerted attempts to organise the popular protest, and to rein in some expressions of violence against persons, government property and institutions. Various sources reported that protesters shouted &#8220;Peacefully, peacefully!&#8221; while trying to avoid widespread damage. Photos on social media show scenes of protestors protecting parliamentary equipment, among others. In response, the government declared a state of emergency, but apparently there was no official attempt to remove the protestors from official buildings.<\/p>\n<p>According to one source, Muqtada al-Sadr, the influential cleric who has been the political force behind protests at the Green Zone gates in recent weeks, appeared in a televised statement shortly before the unrest hit Baghdad. Al-Sadr did not apparently incite his followers to enter the government building in this broadcast, which suggests that this was a case of popular mobilisation, and not under the direct orders of the religious leader.<\/p>\n<p>Within 24 hours of breaching the fortified walls of the Green Zone, Iraqi protestors had begun their withdrawal. Reports say that a statement was distributed by al-Sadr&#8217;s office &#8220;citing respect for a major Shia pilgrimage&#8221; and urging the protestors&#8217; orderly departure from the area. One demonstrator told journalists that the group did not hesitate to comply.<\/p>\n<p>For weeks, protestors in Baghdad have consistently demanded change in the Iraqi government system which, since 2003, has been based on a deeply sectarian and divisive government quota system, split along confessional and ethnic lines. Sheikh al-Dhari, founder of Peace Ambassadors for Iraq, recently reported that &#8220;Iraqi society is highly fragmented and dis-unified because of a broken political system that urges Shi&#8217;a or Sunni loyalty and rewards religious intolerance.&#8221; However, outside observers have noted that the current political divisions are ultimately not between parties with different sectarian affiliations, but between power blocs with a Shi&#8217;a identity. Some sources have suggested that the current standoff could lead to armed confrontation between the Shi&#8217;a brigades that are affiliated with these political groups. Two leading figures in this confrontation are al-Sadr and al-Maliki. The former US envoy to Syria, Robert Ford, said &#8220;there can be more political and maybe armed conflict between different Iraqi Shia elements&#8230; and maybe between militias belonging to some of the Iranian-backed groups and Muqtada al-Sadr supporters.&#8221; It is indicative that an Iranian site &#8220;Tabnak,&#8221; which is reported to be close to the Revolutionary Guards, attacked al-Sadr&#8217;s decision-making and leadership capabilities in political affairs.<\/p>\n<p>The troubles of increasing sectarian discourse and violence have been increasingly linked to the use of media in Iraq. On 28 April, the government announced a ban on Al Jazeera journalists in the country, and closed the channel&#8217;s Baghdad office, after it accused the Qatari state-funded network of inciting violence and sectarianism. Other reports have linked the recent in-fighting between Shi&#8217;a Turkmen and Kurdish militia (allies against so-called &#8220;Islamic State&#8221; fighters) in the northern city of Tuz Khurmatu, to rancorous expressions of sectarianism on social media outlets, including Facebook.<\/p>\n<p><em>Links for more information:<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.alaraby.co.uk\/english\/news\/2016\/4\/26\/iraqi-parliament-fractured-after-fights-on-new-cabinet-line-up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.alaraby.co.uk\/english\/news\/2016\/4\/26\/iraqi-parliament-fractured<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.al-monitor.com\/pulse\/originals\/2016\/04\/iraq-abadi-resignation-government-technocrat-party.html#ixzz47VUkyBfF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.al-monitor.com\/pulse\/originals\/2016\/04\/iraq-abadi-resignation<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.niqash.org\/en\/articles\/politics\/5247\/The-Good-The-Bad-The-Ugly-Reasons-Why-Real-Political-Reform-Is-Impossible-In-Iraq.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.niqash.org\/en\/articles\/politics\/5247\/The-Good-The-Bad-The-Ugly<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pesha0105\/status\/726453034147057666\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/Pesha0105\/status\/726453034147057666<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Hayder_alKhoei\/status\/726408067152236544\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/Hayder_alKhoei\/status\/726408067152236544<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/open-house-baghdads-mythical-green-zone-77363815#sthash.hcTtt5So.dpuf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/open-house-baghdads-mythical-green-zone<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/protesters-quit-baghdads-green-zone-after-unprecedented-breach-1943931197#sthash.YWmTlLFP.dpuf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/protesters-quit-baghdads-green-zone<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastmonitor.com\/20160501-us-expert-warns-of-conflict-among-shia-groups-in-iraq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.middleeastmonitor.com\/20160501<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/arabi21.com\/story\/905635\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/arabi21.com\/story\/905635\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pafi.org\/crisis-in-iraq-conference-day-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/pafi.org\/crisis-in-iraq-conference-day-one\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/iraq-bans-al-jazeera-journalists-instigating-violence-and-sectarianism-794910441#sthash.KiEy5ihG.dpuf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/iraq-bans-al-jazeera-journalists<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.niqash.org\/en\/articles\/security\/5257\/Did-Poisonous-Social-Media-Play-A-Part-In-Over-60-Deaths-In-Northern-Iraq.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.niqash.org\/en\/articles\/security\/5257\/Did-Poisonous-Social-Media<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.usnews.com\/news\/articles\/2016-04-28\/coalition-in-fighting-threatens-the-war-against-isis-in-iraq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.usnews.com\/news\/articles\/2016-04-28\/coalition-in-fighting<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #902323;\"><strong>RELATIONS BETWEEN COMMUNITIES OF DIFFERENT ETHNIC, CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS AFFILIATIONS \/<br \/>\nRELATIONS ENTRE COMMUNAUT\u00c9S DE DIFF\u00c9RENTES AFFILIATIONS ETHNIQUES, CULTURELLES ET RELIGIEUSES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Liban, 08.04.2016 : Condamnation de Samaha, vers une ouverture \u00e0 la crise politique libanaise ?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La cour de cassation libanaise a finalement condamn\u00e9 l&#8217;ancien ministre Michel Samaha, accus\u00e9 de transport d&#8217;explosifs et de planification d&#8217;actes terroristes, \u00e0 pr\u00e8s de 10 ans de prison. L&#8217;affaire Samaha avait caus\u00e9 l&#8217;indignation de l&#8217;Alliance du 14 Mars, et plus g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement des milieux sunnites, alors qu&#8217;il avait \u00e9t\u00e9 condamn\u00e9 \u00e0 4 ans et demi en premi\u00e8re instance, puis rel\u00e2cher sur caution en janvier dernier (cf. Cordoba Update 4\/2016). Le 14 Mars et ses alli\u00e9s avaient alors \u00e9t\u00e9 outr\u00e9s de voir ce qu&#8217;ils consid\u00e9raient comme un biais certain en leur d\u00e9faveur et l&#8217;influence du Hezbollah sur les services de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et judiciaires du pays.<\/p>\n<p>Cette sentence vient donc apaiser ce sentiment de d\u00e9fiance envers les institutions judiciaires et s\u00e9curitaires, dans un contexte o\u00f9 le dialogue bilat\u00e9ral ininterrompu entre le Mouvement du Futur, men\u00e9 par Saad Hariri et un des principaux partis de l&#8217;Alliance du 14 Mars, et le Hezbollah, un des principaux partis de l&#8217;Alliance du 8 Mars, est sous haute pression. En effet, la d\u00e9claration de l&#8217;Arabie saoudite de consid\u00e9rer le Hezbollah comme une organisation terroriste et de sanctionner toute partie collaborant avec lui, avait mis Saad Hariri, grand alli\u00e9 de Riyad, dans une position tr\u00e8s inconfortable. Les cons\u00e9quences ont \u00e9t\u00e9 un approfondissement des d\u00e9saccords au sein de l&#8217;Alliance du 14 Mars, culminant par la d\u00e9mission du ministre de la justice, Ashraf Rifi, et la d\u00e9solidarisation proclam\u00e9e de Saad Hariri avec cette d\u00e9cision.

La prochaine session au calendrier de ce dialogue est fix\u00e9e au 10 mai. Sur l&#8217;agenda figureraient deux points essentiels : l&#8217;apaisement des tensions sectaires et une solution au vide pr\u00e9sidentiel. Sur ce dernier point, des observateurs locaux estiment que, pouss\u00e9 par le contexte pr\u00e9sent, le dialogue pourrait bient\u00f4t d\u00e9boucher \u00e0 un consensus sur la personne de Suleiman Frangieh, candidat appartenant \u00e0 l&#8217;Alliance du 8 Mars et propos\u00e9 par Saad Hariri.<\/p>\n<p><em>Liens pour plus d&#8217;informations :<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/weekly.ahram.org.eg\/News\/16084\/19\/Faith-in-Lebanon%E2%80%99s-military-judiciary-revived.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/weekly.ahram.org.eg\/News\/16084\/19\/Faith-in-Lebanon<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.al-monitor.com\/pulse\/originals\/2016\/04\/michel-samaha-hariri-military-court-sectarian-strife.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.al-monitor.com\/pulse\/originals\/2016\/04\/michel-samaha<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Allemagne, 02.05.16: Congr\u00e8s de l&#8217;AFD (Alternative f\u00fcr Deutschland) \u00e0 Stuttgart : du discours anti-r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s \u00e0 la rh\u00e9torique anti-islam d\u00e9complex\u00e9e.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Le dernier congr\u00e8s de l&#8217;AFD qui s&#8217;est tenu dimanche pass\u00e9 \u00e0 Stuttgart a \u00e9t\u00e9 marqu\u00e9 par un discours anti-islam affirm\u00e9. Les 2400 d\u00e9l\u00e9gu\u00e9s du mouvement ont notamment vot\u00e9 pour l&#8217;abolition du voile int\u00e9gral et l&#8217;interdiction des minarets et ont adopt\u00e9 une r\u00e9solution soulignant que \u00ab l&#8217;islam ne fait pas partie de l&#8217;Allemagne \u00bb. Ce jeune parti, qui \u00e9tait encore r\u00e9cemment d\u00e9pourvu de programme, fait une ascension fulgurante en Allemagne mais \u00e9galement sur le plan europ\u00e9en : il est repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 dans la moiti\u00e9 des L\u00e4nder allemands mais \u00e9galement au sein du Parlement europ\u00e9en et vise \u00e0 entrer au Bundestag (assembl\u00e9e parlementaire) \u00e0 l&#8217;automne 2017, selon le quotidien Lib\u00e9ration.<\/p>\n<p>Les derniers d\u00e9veloppements de la crise migratoire actuelle avec, entre autres, la fermeture des fronti\u00e8res, font partie des raisons majeures du changement de rh\u00e9torique des partis populistes. En effet, la menace s&#8217;est d\u00e9plac\u00e9e de la figure du migrant \u00e0 l&#8217;islam, en tant que religion mais aussi marqueur identitaire. Hans-Thomas Thillschneider, cit\u00e9 par The Guardian et repr\u00e9sentant de l&#8217;AFD dans le Land de Saxony Anhalt, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 lors de ce congr\u00e8s et sous les applaudissements : \u00ab l&#8217;islam nous est \u00e9tranger et pour cette raison il ne peut pas invoquer le principe de libert\u00e9 de culte au m\u00eame degr\u00e9 que le christianisme \u00bb. Si le discours populiste, anti-migrant et anti-islam s\u00e9duit, le parti joue cependant la carte de la discr\u00e9tion en \u00e9vitant d&#8217;employer les termes de \u00ab droite \u00bb ou \u00ab extr\u00eame droite \u00bb et en ne s&#8217;opposant pas au parti de la chanceli\u00e8re Angela Merkel. Le fait que le gouvernement et Angela Merkel ne soient jamais mentionn\u00e9s lors des rencontres du parti montre une volont\u00e9 de l&#8217;AFD de se distancer de l&#8217;image du parti protestataire, selon Lib\u00e9ration. Peut-\u00eatre souhaiterait-il \u00e9galement \u00e9viter le m\u00eame sort que le mouvement Pegida dont le leader, Lutz Bachmann, est aujourd&#8217;hui poursuivi pour incitation \u00e0 la haine. Lors de son proc\u00e8s, qui s&#8217;est tenu le 19 avril dernier \u00e0 Dresde, la place des r\u00e9seaux sociaux \u00e9tait centrale. En effet, l&#8217;attribution \u00e0 Lutz Bachmann de messages de haine diffus\u00e9s sur Facebook a \u00e9t\u00e9 un \u00e9l\u00e9ment d\u00e9battu lors du proc\u00e8s. Il est bien connu que l&#8217;usage des m\u00e9dias sociaux et plateformes de vid\u00e9os sont des vecteurs utilis\u00e9s par les partis populistes afin de diffuser leur message. Pour contrer cela, une initiative originale a \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9e par le service d&#8217;h\u00e9bergement de demandeurs d&#8217;asiles Refugi\u00e9s Bienvenue : des bandes annonces proposant un t\u00e9moignage de r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s sont automatiquement diffus\u00e9es avant des contenus comportant des mots cl\u00e9s comme \u00ab r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s dehors \u00bb ou \u00ab r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s terroristes \u00bb. Ces mots cl\u00e9s ont en effet \u00e9t\u00e9 achet\u00e9s par le service Refugi\u00e9s Bienvenue et ainsi \u00ab l&#8217;internaute qui fait une recherche en utilisant ces termes n&#8217;aura acc\u00e8s au v\u00e9ritable contenu qu&#8217;apr\u00e8s avoir visionn\u00e9 le film dans son entit\u00e9, et la fonction \u00ab Skip Ad\u00bb ou \u00abIgnorer\u00bb qui permet d&#8217;habitude de sauter le d\u00e9roulement de la \u00abpub\u00bb est d\u00e9sactiv\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<p>En termes de rayonnement europ\u00e9en, l&#8217;influence de l&#8217;AFD est encore difficile \u00e0 \u00e9valuer mais certains partisans du parti ne cachent pas leur volont\u00e9 de faire alliance avec certains partis populistes europ\u00e9ens comme le FP\u00d6 (Parti de la Libert\u00e9) autrichien, qui a r\u00e9cemment remport\u00e9 le premier tour des \u00e9lections pr\u00e9sidentielles. Pour certains, le FN (Front national) fran\u00e7ais est m\u00eame per\u00e7u comme \u00ab trop socialiste (&#8230;) accordant un r\u00f4le bien trop important \u00e0 l&#8217;Etat \u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>De nouveaux actes islamophobes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 recens\u00e9s ailleurs en Europe, comme en France o\u00f9 une mosqu\u00e9e d&#8217;Ajaccio (Corse) a \u00e9t\u00e9 la cible d&#8217;un incendie dans la nuit du vendredi 29 avril au samedi 30 avril, une r\u00e9gion d\u00e9j\u00e0 touch\u00e9e ces derniers mois par des actes de violences x\u00e9nophobes. En Angleterre, le journaliste Peter Oborne a relev\u00e9 les propos de David Cameroun \u00e0 l&#8217;encontre d&#8217;un citoyen britannique, Suliman Gani, l&#8217;accusant, sans preuve tangible selon le journaliste, d&#8217;all\u00e9geance \u00e0 l&#8217;organisation du pr\u00e9tendu Etat islamique. Une des vis\u00e9es de ces accusations serait de faire du tort au candidat Labour pour la municipalit\u00e9 de Londres, Sadiq Khan, que David Cameroun accuserait ainsi indirectement d&#8217;\u00eatre proche du mouvement extr\u00e9miste violent \u00e0 r\u00e9f\u00e9rences religieuses. Enfin en Su\u00e8de, Lennard Karlsson, politicien du parti d&#8217;extr\u00eame droite les D\u00e9mocrates de Su\u00e8de (SD), a r\u00e9cemment menac\u00e9 de mener une attaque suicide dans une mosqu\u00e9e. Sous le feu des critiques, il a ensuite d\u00e9clar\u00e9 se retirer temporairement de la politique.<\/p>\n<p><em>Liens pour plus d&#8217;informations :<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/fr.euronews.com\/2016\/05\/01\/en-allemagne-l-afd-assume-son-hostilite-face-a-l-islam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/fr.euronews.com\/2016\/05\/01\/en-allemagne-l-afd-assume-son-hostilite-face-a-l-islam<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lemonde.fr\/europe\/article\/2016\/05\/02\/en-allemagne-une-troisieme-force-politique-a-droite-toute_4911822_3214.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.lemonde.fr\/europe\/article\/2016\/05\/02\/en-allemagne-une-troisieme-force-politique<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/germanys-anti-immigration-party-promises-minaret-and-burqa-ban-election-manifesto-1468643667\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/germanys-anti-immigration-party-promises-minaret-and-burqa-ban<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.liberation.fr\/planete\/2016\/05\/01\/en-allemagne-l-afd-reformule-ses-maux_1449896\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.liberation.fr\/planete\/2016\/05\/01\/en-allemagne-l-afd-reformule-ses-maux<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-europe-36182511\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-europe-36182511<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2016\/may\/01\/german-far-right-party-ban-minarets-burqa-alternative-fur-deutschland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2016\/may\/01\/german-far-right-party-ban-minarets-burqa<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.letemps.ch\/opinions\/2016\/05\/01\/refugies-prennent-parole-contre-stereotypes-racistes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.letemps.ch\/opinions\/2016\/05\/01\/refugies-prennent-parole-contre-stereotypes-racistes<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/search-racism-find-truth.com\/index-en.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/search-racism-find-truth.com\/index-en.html<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2016\/apr\/24\/austrian-far-right-wins-first-round-presidential-election-norbert-hofer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2016\/apr\/24\/austrian-far-right-wins-first-round-presidential-election<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/arson-fears-over-muslim-prayer-hall-fire-corsica-1384989844\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/arson-fears-over-muslim-prayer-hall-fire-corsica<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.liberation.fr\/france\/2016\/04\/30\/ajaccio-une-salle-de-priere-musulmane-touchee-par-un-incendie_1449652\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.liberation.fr\/france\/2016\/04\/30\/ajaccio-une-salle-de-priere-musulmane-touchee-par-un-incendie<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.alaraby.co.uk\/english\/news\/2016\/5\/3\/france-anti-muslim-acts-triple-in-2015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.alaraby.co.uk\/english\/news\/2016\/5\/3\/france-anti-muslim-acts-triple-in-2015<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/columns\/david-cameron-must-apologise-his-appalling-attack-against-british-muslim-citizen-695528146\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/columns\/david-cameron-must-apologise<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/far-right-swedish-politician-steps-down-over-virulent-anti-islam-posts-463215055\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.middleeasteye.net\/news\/far-right-swedish-politician-steps-down-over-virulent-anti-islam-posts<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2016\/05\/01\/what-happens-when-a-muslim-runs-for-mayor-of-london-sadiq-khan-zac-goldsmith-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2016\/05\/01\/what-happens-when-a-muslim-runs-for-mayor-of-london-sadiq-khan<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #902323;\"><strong>VIOLENT EXTREMISM AND THE WAR ON TERROR \/ EXTR\u00c9MISME VIOLENT ET LA GUERRE CONTRE LA TERREUR<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt, Israel, the West, 29.04.2016: The War on Terror<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to the Washington Post, the Islamic State&#8217;s affiliate in Egypt is staging increasingly sophisticated and daring attacks, officials and analysts say, prompting Israel, Egypt and the Palestinian militant group Hamas to form an unlikely alliance against the terrorist group. The newspaper added that Hamas deployed several hundred fighters to Gaza&#8217;s border with Egypt&#8217;s lawless northern Sinai as part of a deal with Egypt to keep militants of the Islamic State from entering the coastal enclave. The United States and Israel are particularly concerned that the militants could threaten a multinational peacekeeping effort that has overseen the peace between Egypt and Israel along the Sinai border. Allison McManus and Jacob Greene wrote in Foreign Affairs &#8220;How Sisi Plays Politics With Terrorism,&#8221; saying that &#8220;by indiscriminately blaming the Muslim Brotherhood for Egyptian terror attacks, Sisi could do more harm than good.&#8221; They added that &#8220;at a time when the country faces legitimate threats to its stability, the Egyptian security sector continues to rely on divisional tactics instead of serious investigations. Although this may work in the short term, the future consequences could be dire.&#8221; J\u00fcrgen Todenh\u00f6fer, a German journalist, politician, and former judge, criticized the Western strategy of fighting terrorism. For him, &#8220;The West has been waging its war on terror for 14 years. The result? Instead of a couple of hundred dangerous international terrorists, we now have over 100,000. And 1.3 million dead in the Middle East.&#8221; He added &#8220;If Sunnis are treated fairly and reintegrated into society, then and only then will the specter of ISIS be laid to rest&#8230; an ISIS defeated by Arab Sunnis would have no future, not even in Syria.&#8221; Meanwhile, amid a massive social media campaign that slurs Egypt for allegedly supplying the Syrian Arab Army with missiles for fighting in Aleppo, a former Iranian politician named Amir Mousawi praised Egypt&#8217;s support for Syria in its fight against &#8220;terror.&#8221; He wrote on a post on his Facebook page saying, &#8220;I would like to express my sincere thanks to the Republic of Egypt and to his Excellency, President Sisi for their noble and honored approach toward the crimes committed by terrorists in our beloved Syria.&#8221; He added &#8220;Egypt under Sisi&#8217;s rule has been one of the world&#8217;s pioneers in supporting the axis of resistance in the region in all aspects, including the political and military aspects.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Links for more information:<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/middle_east\/israel-hamas-and-egypt-form-unlikely-alliance-against-islamic-state-affiliate\/2016\/04\/30\/cacb99dc-fb79-11e5-813a-90ab563f0dde_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/middle_east\/israel-hamas-and-egypt-form-unlikely-alliance<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignaffairs.com\/articles\/egypt\/2016-04-27\/crying-wolf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.foreignaffairs.com\/articles\/egypt\/2016-04-27\/crying-wolf<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jpost.com\/Middle-East\/Amid-Aleppo-bloodshed-former-Iranian-politician-praises-Egypts-support-for-Assad-452867\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.jpost.com\/Middle-East\/Amid-Aleppo-bloodshed-former-Iranian-politician<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/articles\/2016\/04\/29\/recipe-for-isis-disaster-sunni-terrorism-western-bombs-repeat.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/articles\/2016\/04\/29\/recipe-for-isis-disaster<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #902323;\"><strong>PUBLICATIONS AND CFG IN THE MEDIA<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Centre for Security Studies at the ETH Zurich University has published a policy recommendation on promoting Salafi political participation. The publication, co-authored with the Religion, Politics, Conflict desk of the Swiss Foreign Affairs Department, concluded that &#8220;a key part of supporting democratic development must be the fostering of an inclusive politics which offers all viewpoints representation in the political arena.&#8221; Drawing on the work of the Cordoba Foundation of Geneva with 18 participative haraki Salafi political actors in the 10 MENA countries since 2011, the policy piece indicated that &#8220;Haraki Salafi groups are an opportunity for the Salafi viewpoint to be represented in politics. The work of the Cordoba Foundation of Geneva has shown that &#8220;by supporting spaces where Salafi groups can learn and work together with groups of other persuasions, third parties can help to reinforce the knowledge, attitudes and relationships necessary for the inclusive politics that democracy requires. This is not only good for democracy but also for peace, strengthening a legitimate alternative to jihadi Salafi groups.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Promoting Salafi Political Participation<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.css.ethz.ch\/content\/dam\/ethz\/special-interest\/gess\/cis\/center-for-securities-studies\/pdfs\/PP4-5.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.css.ethz.ch\/content\/dam\/ethz\/special-interest\/gess\/cis\/center-for-securities-studies\/pdfs\/PP4-5.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Promoting Constructive Political Participation of New Faith-Based Political Actors in the Arab Region<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/cordoue.ch\/workshop-reports\/item\/430-cfg-cwr-politicalparticipation-1-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/cordoue.ch\/workshop-reports\/item\/430-cfg-cwr-politicalparticipation-1-en<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><strong>\u062a\u0631\u0642\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0633\u0627\u0647\u0645\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u064a\u0627\u0633\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0646\u0651\u0627\u0621\u0629 \u0644\u0644\u0623\u062d\u0632\u0627\u0628 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u062d\u0631\u0643\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u062c\u062f\u064a\u062f\u0629 \u0630\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0631\u062c\u0639\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u064a\u0646\u064a\u0629 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0646\u0637\u0642\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0628\u064a\u0629<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/cordoue.ch\/workshop-reports\/item\/429-cfg-cwr-politicalparticipation-1-ar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/cordoue.ch\/workshop-reports\/item\/429-cfg-cwr-politicalparticipation-1-ar<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Salafiscape in the wake of the &#8216;Arab Spring<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/cordoue.ch\/publications\/papers\/item\/369-the-salafiscape-in-the-wake-of-the-arab-spring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/cordoue.ch\/publications\/papers\/item\/369-the-salafiscape-in-the-wake-of-the-arab-spring<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em>The views and perspectives contained in the Weekly Update are from individual contributors and external sources, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or position of the Cordoba Foundation of Geneva.
