1) MAROC<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bb 19.01.2015 : Sondage Hespress : le Gouvernement B\u00e9n\u00e9ficie de la Satisfaction de 46% des Sond\u00e9s<\/strong><\/p>\n Les r\u00e9sultats d’un sondage r\u00e9alis\u00e9 par le journal \u00e9lectronique Hespress ont montr\u00e9 que parmi 56,273% participants au sondage, 45,74% ont exprim\u00e9 leur satisfaction \u00e0 l’\u00e9gard de la performance du gouvernement actuel g\u00e9r\u00e9 par le Parti Al-Adala wa Al-Tanmiya – au pouvoir depuis 3 ans. 25,47% ont consid\u00e9r\u00e9 la performance comme \u00e9tant moyenne, tandis que 28,79% la consid\u00e8rent comme faible.<\/p>\n De son c\u00f4t\u00e9, l’opposition a fait savoir qu’elle consid\u00e8re que de tels sondages ne refl\u00e8tent pas la r\u00e9alit\u00e9. Cette position pourrait \u00eatre une des raisons qui a pouss\u00e9 cette derni\u00e8re \u00e0 pr\u00e9senter il y a quelques mois une proposition appelant \u00e0 mettre en place un cadre juridique qui assurera la cr\u00e9dibilit\u00e9 et l’int\u00e9grit\u00e9 des sondages relatif aux r\u00e9f\u00e9rendums et aux \u00e9lections au Maroc.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.hespress.com\/politique\/252447.html<\/a><\/p>\n 2) LIBYA<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bb <\/strong>14-18.01.2015: UNAMSIL’s Libyan Dialogue: Tripoli-Geneva via Istanbul and Back?<\/strong><\/p>\n The first round of a Libyan dialogue kicked off last Wednesday, 12 January, under the auspices of Bernardino Leon’s UNAMSIL. After a round of two days of talks, Leon understood that this new initiative would see the same unfruitful fate as the Ghedames Dialogue, which took place last November, if the NGC’s Al-Hassi government in Tripoli continued to boycott it. Such stand was made very clear in the language of the UNAMSIL’s press that followed last week’s round of talks. The other significant evolution in Leon’s relations with the Tripoli-based government was that for the first time Libya Dawn forces were mentioned in UNMSIL’s communique as a party that could take part in the dialogue process. By indicating that the consultations, which preceded the first round, were not comprehensive and that those invited to Geneva were not full representative of those running matters in Tripoli, Leon sent a clear signal to Al Hassi government and the GNC that he was ready to engage a serious dialogue. Things moved fast on Friday and Saturday during a confidential meeting which took place in Istanbul, between ministers from Al Hassi government and Nouri Bousehmine, speaker of the GNC, on one hand, and Leon on the other hand. It was a race against the watch to convince the GNC to vote in favour of joining the next round of the dialogue. It is now known that Leon agreed in principle to the conditions set by the GNC, i.e., holding the dialogue talks in Libya and reviewing representation at the negotiation table, in addition to clarifying the dialogue process. On Sunday, the GNC convened with around 110 MPs who voted in favour of joining the dialogue if it resumed in Libya. The same day, UNAMSIL welcomed the GNC’s decision and announced that, \u00ab\u00a0all participants in the dialogue agree that the priority should be, if the logistical and security conditions are met, to hold the talks in Libya.\u00a0\u00bb A precarious ceasefire is holding since late last week, despite reports of clashes in the Sirte gulf. Meanwhile, a car parked near the Algerian embassy in Tripoli, exploded over the weekend. Analysts consider that the Algerian embassy was targeted because of the Algerian government’s determined opposition to any military intervention in Libya. Algeria’s position for an inclusive political dialogue in Libya as the only solution for the conflict seems to have reconciled the country with the leadership in Libya and large segments of the Libyan public opinion. Mohamed Shaiter, minister of interior in Al Hassi government, announced at the scene of the explosion that the \u00ab\u00a0criminal act\u00a0\u00bb was perpetrated by those disturbed by \u00ab\u00a0the good relations between the [Tripoli] National Salivation Government and Algeria and its positive position towards the Libyan people affairs.\u00a0\u00bb It is unlikely that the Tobruk-House of Representatives would insist on holding the next round in Geneva. The UNSC issued an explicit threat, last week, to all conflict parties in Libya in which it \u00ab\u00a0recalled resolution 2174 (2014) and emphasized that the Sanctions Committee is prepared to sanction those who threaten Libya’s peace, stability or security or that obstruct or undermine the successful completion of its political transition.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n http:\/\/unsmil.unmissions.org\/Default.aspx?tabid=3543&ctl=Details&mid=6187&ItemID=1992944<\/a> 3) EGYPTE<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bb <\/strong><\/strong>18.01.2015 : Mohamed Morsi accuse al-Sisi et l’Arm\u00e9e des Meurtres de janvier 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n Lors de son audition de dimanche 18 janvier 2015 dans le cadre de son proc\u00e8s pour espionnage, l’ancien pr\u00e9sident \u00e9gyptien Mohamed Morsi a accus\u00e9 l’arm\u00e9e, dont l’un des commandants d’alors \u00e9tait Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, d’avoir tu\u00e9 des manifestants lors de la r\u00e9volution Janvier de 2011. Il explique ne pas avoir divulgu\u00e9 avant cette information en raison de sa volont\u00e9 de ne pas diffamer l’institution militaire.<\/p>\n Lien(s) pour plus d’information :<\/em><\/p>\n http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/2015\/01\/18\/us-egypt-mursi-sisi<\/a> 4) Y\u00c9MEN<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bb <\/strong><\/strong>19.01.2015 : Chaos \u00e0 Sanaa, Crainte d’un Coup d’Etat<\/strong><\/p>\n Lundi matin, des \u00e9changes de tirs entre des militants du groupe Houthi et la garde pr\u00e9sidentielle faisaient rage autour du palais pr\u00e9sidentiel \u00e0 Sanaa. Les \u00e9v\u00e9nements se sont en effet acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9s depuis l’enl\u00e8vement du chef du cabinet pr\u00e9sidentiel, Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak, par des Houthis samedi dernier. Cet enl\u00e8vement a eu lieu le lendemain de l’annonce de la d\u00e9mission de l’un des conseillers pr\u00e9sidentiels Houthis, Saleh al-Sammad. Celui-ci a justifi\u00e9 sa d\u00e9mission par le fait qu’il voyait que ses conseils n’\u00e9taient pas \u00e9cout\u00e9s dans ses efforts pour r\u00e9concilier les Houthis et le gouvernement. Le comit\u00e9 populaire du groupe Houthi a officiellement revendiqu\u00e9 l’enl\u00e8vement, le consid\u00e9rant comme une \u00e9tape importante pour \u00e9viter que le projet de la nouvelle constitution ne passe, projet que le groupe rejette. Dans la m\u00eame d\u00e9claration, il s’est dit engag\u00e9 \u00e0 effectuer une s\u00e9rie de proc\u00e9dures sp\u00e9ciales, jusqu’\u00e0 ce que les forces qu’il d\u00e9crit comme influentes, tyranniques et corrompues mettent fin \u00e0 leurs pratiques criminelles contre le peuple. Le comit\u00e9 a \u00e9galement adress\u00e9 un message tr\u00e8s ferme au pr\u00e9sident, le mettant en garde de continuer \u00e0 servir d’ombrelle \u00e0 la corruption et \u00e0 la criminalit\u00e9.<\/p>\n Suite \u00e0 cet enl\u00e8vement, les tribus de la province de Shabwa, riche en p\u00e9trole et dont Bin Mubarak est originaire, ont menac\u00e9 ce week-end de stopper la livraison de p\u00e9trole et de gaz par la force. Face \u00e0 ces \u00e9v\u00e9nements, un membre du comit\u00e9 g\u00e9n\u00e9ral du Congr\u00e8s g\u00e9n\u00e9ral du peuple, parti de l’ancien pr\u00e9sident Saleh, a demand\u00e9 au pr\u00e9sident Hadi dans une interview \u00e0 la cha\u00eene t\u00e9l\u00e9vis\u00e9e y\u00e9m\u00e9nite al-Saeedah de quitter Sanaa.<\/p>\n Lundi en fin d’apr\u00e8s-midi, un deuxi\u00e8me accord de cessez-le-feu a \u00e9t\u00e9 conclu entre les militants Houthis et la garde pr\u00e9sidentielle. Cet accord demeure fragile dans un contexte o\u00f9 le premier accord n’avait pas \u00e9t\u00e9 mis en \u0153uvre. Aujourd’hui mardi, il semblerait que le cessez-le-feu soit toujours en vigueur tandis que les militants Houthis ont impos\u00e9 un si\u00e8ge autour de la r\u00e9sidence du premier ministre, Khaled Bahah. Le gouvernement technocrate dirig\u00e9 par Khalid Bahah aurait menac\u00e9 de geler son travail jusqu’au retrait des partisans Houthis des minist\u00e8res et des institutions de l’Etat.<\/p>\n Lien(s) pour plus d’information :<\/em><\/p>\n http:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/middleeast\/2015\/01\/yemen-president-aide-seized<\/a> http:\/\/www.yementimes.com\/en\/1852\/news\/4815\/<\/a> \u00bb <\/strong><\/strong>18.01.2015 : Offre de Dialogue du parti Islah au Parti de Saleh<\/strong><\/p>\n Le pr\u00e9sident du parti al-Islah, bras politique des Fr\u00e8res musulmans au Y\u00e9men, a invit\u00e9 toutes les forces politiques du Y\u00e9men \u00ab\u00a0sans exception\u00a0\u00bb au dialogue. Cet appel pourrait faire allusion \u00e0 la possibilit\u00e9 d’un rapprochement avec l’ancien pr\u00e9sident Ali Abdullah Saleh, pr\u00e9sident du parti influent du Congr\u00e8s g\u00e9n\u00e9ral du peuple. Ce parti a, \u00e0 son tour, accueilli cette invitation comme \u00ab\u00a0une \u00e9tape positive, bien que tardive \u00ab\u00a0. Ces deux partis s’opposent violemment depuis la r\u00e9volution de 2011 o\u00f9 le parti Islah a particip\u00e9 aux mouvements demandant le d\u00e9part de Saleh.<\/p>\n Lien(s) pour plus d’information :<\/em><\/p>\n http:\/\/www.aljazeera.net\/news\/reportsandinterviews\/2015\/1\/18\/<\/a><\/p>\n 5) SAHEL<\/strong><\/p>\n Mali:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bb <\/strong><\/strong>16.01.2015 Attacks from Armed Groups and Protest Demonstrations in Mali<\/strong><\/p>\n The MINUSMA base II in Kidal was the target of another assault last Saturday, which resulted in the death of a Chadian soldier and the injury of another one. This incident followed the attack of T\u00e9n\u00e8nkou, in the Mopti region, on January 16 by unidentified armed groups. At least two Malian soldiers have been killed. It seems that these acts of violence, which used to take place mainly in the North, are now expanding in the central part of the country.<\/p>\n Pacific demonstrations organized by the Malian Haut Conseil Islamique have taken place in Mali last Friday to protest against the caricatures of the Prophet. The spokesperson of the Haut Conseil Islamique, Imam Dicko, praised all support to France but declared that if such harmful and degrading behaviors continued Mali could dissociate itself from France. Nevertheless, he pointed out that Malian people were not in disagreement with the participation of their President in the January 11 demonstration. A declaration from the \u00ab\u00a0Collectif des associations musulmanes du Mali\u00a0\u00bb was released during these protests.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.dakana.org\/?q=node\/311<\/a> Mauritania:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bb <\/strong><\/strong>15.01.2015: Two Years Prison for Leader of the IRA Anti-Slavery Movement<\/strong><\/p>\n In South Mauritania, in Rosso, a tribunal sentenced Biram Ould Abeid, leader of the IRA anti-salvery movement, his deputy Brahim Ould Bilal, and Djiby Sow president of a human rights association to two years of prison. Biram and seven of his colleagues were arrested last November, when leading a protest to demand fairer treatment of Haratine (descendants of former slaves) peasants. Biram, who came second in the last April presidential elections, was charged of spreading racist propaganda and disrespect to the state. Several political parties and NGOs criticized the ruling, and the security forces used tear gas to disperse a protest in Rosso. Three days after the ruling, President Ould Abdelaziz announced a government reshuffle where four ministers left the government and five others were assigned new portfolios. It is interesting to note that Mint Soueina, former Minister of Culture, was designated Minister of Foreign Affairs. Soueina is from the Maalmine (Blacksmiths) social class, which is stigmatised in the Mauritanian society. Soueina would be the first woman to hold the Foreign Affairs Ministry post in Mauritania’s history.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.cridem.org\/C_Info.php?article=666049<\/a> Chad:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bb <\/strong><\/strong>18.01.2015 Chad Deploys its Troops in Cameroon to Combat Boko Haram<\/strong><\/p>\n Several persons have been killed and at least 80 abducted last Sunday as a result of an attack from Boko Haram in northern Cameroon. Twenty hostages have been fired soon after the attack. This assault happened while Chad had started to deploy its troops in Cameroon to fight against Boko Haram and recapture the city of Baga. Its convoy, which comprises 400 vehicles and combat helicopters, has been established in Maltam, at the border of Chad.<\/p>\n Niger:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bb <\/strong><\/strong>17.01.2015 Violence Erupts in Niger after the Release of the Caricature of the Prophet<\/strong><\/p>\n Demonstrations in Niger against the caricatures of the Prophet have seen last Saturday an upsurge of violence that led to the arson of 45 churches in Niamey and the death of around ten persons. Other buildings that belong to non-Muslims or French nationals have also been destroyed. In Zinder, 255 Christians are under military protection. These demonstrations are perceived by some analysts as a sign of protest against the President of Niger, Mahamadou Issoufou. The latter had participated in the 11 January demonstrations in Paris and had declared that \u00ab\u00a0Nous sommes tous Charlie\u00a0\u00bb, which provoked a wave of anger in the country. On Sunday, another demonstration took place in Niamey that was organized by the opposition but prohibited by the government. Around 91 participants of the mass protests have been arrested, including two prominent figures of the opposition.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.dw.de\/pourquoi-les-%C3%A9meutes-au-niger\/a-18199176<\/a> Nigeria:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bb <\/strong><\/strong>18.01.2015 : Force Commune pour Combattre Boko Haram<\/strong><\/p>\n Le pr\u00e9sident tchadien Idriss D\u00e9by a annonc\u00e9 l’envoi de forces arm\u00e9es pour soutenir le Cameroun dans le cadre de la strat\u00e9gie commune envisag\u00e9e par les pays de l’ouest de l’Afrique dans son combat contre Boko Haram.
