Indeed, the Mediator Association for Democracy and Human Rights has issued a book that documents the first year of the Movement by dealing with the context in which the Movement had arisen, the stages of its inception, the most important events of the Movement\u2019s first year, the interaction of the political, union and civil bodies with the Movement, and the testimonies of the Movement\u2019s youth from different backgrounds (political, syndical and civil). The book documents also all the marches and protests of the Youth Movement during the \u00ab\u00a0Arab Spring\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n Link for more information :<\/em><\/p>\n \ufeff\u0648\u0642\u0641\u0629 \u0627\u062d\u062a\u062c\u0627\u062c\u064a\u0629 \u0644\u062d\u0631\u0643\u0629 \u00ab20 \u0641\u0628\u0631\u0627\u064a\u0631\u00bb \u0623\u0645\u0627\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0631\u0644\u0645\u0627\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u063a\u0631\u0628\u064a<\/span><\/span> (site externe, s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)<\/span><\/a> \u00b7 Al-Quds Al-Arabi<\/span><\/p>\n 2) LIBYA<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bb <\/strong>23.02.2015: Increasing Difficulties in the Dialogue Process<\/strong><\/p>\n UNSMIL\u2019s dialogue efforts has become the latest causality of the aftermath of ISIL\u2019s ruthless execution of 21 Copts in Sirte, and the Egyptian regime\u2019s retaliation air raids on reportedly ISIL assets in Derna, in northeast Libya. The deteriorating security situation in Libya over the last couple of weeks was already not conducive for the holding of the second round of political dialogue between the Tripoli-based GNC and the Tobruk House of Representatives. The latter announced on Monday February 23 that in the light of the GNC\u2019s non-condemnation of the deadly bombing in Qubba, east of Libya, which left over 40 dead, the HoR has decided to suspend its participation in a fresh round of talks that was scheduled for this week in Morocco. Keen observers of Libyan affairs think that ISIL\u2019s emergence in the Libyan theatre would very likely deal a major blow to UNSMIL\u2019s efforts to revive the dialogue process. The integration of Khalifa Hafter in the political and military structures of the Tobruk-Thenni government would complicate prospects for a political compromise between the two rival bodies in Tripoli and Tobruk. Despite the fact that Cairo\u2019s request to obtain a UN umbrella for military intervention in Libya has so far been dismissed, Algiers is growing more concerned by the multi-faceted conflict in Libya. At a joint conference meeting with British foreign secretary Philip Hammond in Algiers on Thursday February 19, Ramtane Lamamra, Algerian foreign affairs minister, reaffirmed Algiers\u2019 opposition to any military intervention in Libya, including the lifting of ban on arms exports that is sought by Egypt and some Gulf countries.<\/p>\n Link (s) for more information :<\/em><\/p>\n Un dialogue meeting in morroco in doubt after hor votes to pull out<\/span><\/span> (site externe, s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)<\/span><\/a> \u00b7 Libya Herald<\/span> 3) TUNISIA<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bb <\/strong><\/strong>23.02.2015: Tunis Adopts \u00ab\u00a0Positive Neutrality\u00a0\u00bb towards Libyan Conflict Stakeholders<\/strong><\/p>\n In the aftermath of aggravation of an already deteriorating situation in Libya, Tunis has apparently judged it wiser to adapt its policy towards the rival governments in Libya (GNC\u2019s Hassi government and HoR\u2019s Thenni cabinet) and adopt \u00ab\u00a0positive neutrality\u00a0\u00bb as Taieb Baccouche, Tunisian minister of foreign affairs, put it on Monday February 23. In practice, Tunis would appoint a consul in Tripol, and another in Tobruk.\u00a0 As has continued to happen since the 2011 uprising in Libya, Tunisia has found itself enmeshed in the complexities of the Libyan conflict. Already home to around 1.5 million Libyan refugees, the recent ISIL attacks has prompted an influx of Egyptian immigrants from Libya into the country. Over 1,000 Egyptians have been evacuated via Tunisia\u2019s Djerba airport over the last week. Tunisia also has its own battle with extremist armed groups. Last week, 4 soldiers were killed in clashes in Boulaaba, 20 km from Kasserine, near Mount Chaambi on the Tunisian-Algerian border. Tunis has a delicate balancing act to consider: given the presence of thousands (estimated at 3,000) of its nationals in Jihadi groups in Syria, Iraq, and Libya, it cannot afford to join Egypt\u2019s calls for military intervention in Libya, but it cannot also ignore the growing threat to its security from the south and to its east. Then there is Algeria that is key to Tunisia\u2019s fight against extremist armed groups positioned on Mount Chaambi. The two countries have been involved in lengthy negotiations to agree a form of common defense pact that would include the right of hot pursuit, exchange of intelligence and a common operations command on the border. Tunis would be considering all these factors when Sameh Shoukry, Egyptian foreign minister, arrives in Tunis, on Wednesday February 24.<\/p>\n Link (s) for more information :<\/em><\/p>\n La tunisie se tient a egale distance de toutes les parties en libye<\/span><\/span> (site externe, s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)<\/span><\/a> \u00b7 La Presse de Tunisie<\/span> 4) EGYPTE<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bb <\/strong><\/strong>19.02.2015 : Les relations Qatar-Egypte se d\u00e9gradent<\/strong><\/p>\n Depuis d\u00e9cembre et \u00e0 travers la m\u00e9diation du roi Abdallah d\u2019Arabie saoudite, les relations Qatar-Egypte tendaient \u00e0 se normaliser apr\u00e8s une p\u00e9riode de fortes tensions suivant la chute de Mohammed Morsi.

Alors que le Parlement, \u00e0 forte sympathie pour les Houthis, restera en place, un \u00ab Conseil transitoire du peuple \u00bb doit \u00eatre \u00e9tabli, qui comprendra les \u00e9l\u00e9ments non repr\u00e9sent\u00e9s au Parlement.

Or, certains observateurs restent sceptiques sur l\u2019avanc\u00e9e r\u00e9elle que repr\u00e9sente cet accord, attendant de voir sa mise en application. Pour certains, la disposition du groupe Ansar Allah \u00e0 laisser participer les autres forces politiques \u00e0 la prise de d\u00e9cision doit encore \u00eatre attest\u00e9e par des faits.

A declaration was signed last Thursday by the government of Mali and the 6 armed groups \u2013 MNLA, HCUA, MAAM, MAA-dissident, CPA and CM-FPR \u2013 that establishes and calls for the respect of an immediate ceasefire. All parties should also respect and implement the provisions of other ceasefire agreements from May and July 2014 and participate actively in the round of negotiations in an open, constructive and inclusive spirit. This is a first step towards the signature of a comprehensive peace agreement that is expected to result from this last round of negotiations. The MAA-dissident group, through its leader Ali Idriss Hamaha, announced last Wednesday that it is leaving the Azawad Coordination and will join the government. It is the second departure of a prominent leader of the Coordination, after colonel Hassane Ag Mehdi, leader of former combatants of the MNLA and HCUA, left last January.<\/p>\n Link for more information :<\/em><\/p>\n Dialogue intermalien<\/span><\/span> (site externe, s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)<\/span><\/a> \u00b7 Alg\u00e9rie Presse Service<\/span><\/p>\n The Council of Ministers decided last Wednesday that municipal, regional and Bamako district elections will take place on 26 April 2016 \u00ab\u00a0wherever it is possible\u00a0\u00bb, despite the instability and insecurity that prevail in Mali.<\/p>\n Link for more information :<\/em><\/p>\n Communales 2015 ibk programme les elections de la partition du mali<\/span><\/span> (site externe, s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)<\/span><\/a> \u00b7 Africatime<\/span><\/p>\n Chad :<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bb <\/strong><\/strong>21.02.2015 Visit of French Minister of Foreign Affairs to Chad<\/strong><\/p>\n The French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Laurent Fabius, undertook a short visit to N\u2019Djamena last Saturday as a first round of visits planned to Cameroon and Niger. The aim of these visits is for France to show its solidarity towards countries engaged in the fight against Boko Haram. It is also an advocacy call for the international community to commit to support the regional African military coalition against Boko Haram. The countries located around Lake Chad are planning to present to the UN Security Council by the end of the month a resolution that will lead to the establishment of this regional coalition. In response to the heavy engagement of Chad against its forces, Boko Haram conducted for the first time on February 13 an armed attack on the territory of Chad and threatened Chad with further retaliatory measures if it continued its military intervention against the Islamist group.<\/p>\n Link for more information :<\/em><\/p>\n Boko haram s\u2019attaque au tchad et fait cinq morts<\/span><\/span> (site externe, s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)<\/span><\/a> \u00b7 afrik.com<\/span><\/p>\n Nigeria :<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00bb <\/strong><\/strong>21.02.2015: Recapture of the City of Baga by the Nigerian Army<\/strong><\/p>\n The Nigerian Military announced this Saturday that they had taken the control of the strategic city of \u00ab\u00a0Baga\u00a0\u00bb in north-east Nigeria, on the shores of Lake Chad.
