Los países, los continentes y el mundo en general experimentan sacudidas que los alejan de sus caminos evolutivos, si no reformadores, lo que resulta en cambios sísmicos que los transforman fundamentalmente. Los asesinatos son uno de los potentes catalizadores de estos cambios, ya que conducen a guerras, cambios políticos e incluso transformaciones económicas. A continuación se muestra una visión de los asesinatos políticos de gran alcance que todavía persiguen al mundo hoy en día: Franz Ferdinand: Gavrilo Princip, un nacionalista serbobosnio, mata al archiduque y heredero del ...

In this magical account, Janvier T. Chando brilliantly establishes the threads that made the young Thomas Sankara one of Africa’s iconic leaders in the twentieth century, and the revolutionary changes he brought to Burkina Faso that transformed it into Sub-Saharan Africa’s most self-reliant country. The author leads the reader hand-in-hand to the path of the trail of the young Sankara’s catapult into the limelight of Burkina Faso’s politics, his travails, his rise to power as the head of state, and his lucid notion of his mission. Sankara comes across as one of those rare African ...

Countries, continents, and the world at large experience jolts that move them away from their evolutionary if not reformatory paths, resulting in seismic changes that transform them fundamentally. Assassinations are one of the potent catalysts for these changes as they lead to wars, political changes, and even economic transformations. Below is an insight into far-reaching political assassinations that are still haunting the world today: Franz Ferdinand: Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian-Serb nationalist kills the Archduke and heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, thereby sparking off World War One...

This thoughtful account of Patrice Lumumba provides an insight into why the swift elimination of the legend from the geopolitical developments involving his country plunged Congo into turmoil that it is yet to recover from. Janvier T. Chando highlights Congo's deep trauma as the private possession of King Leopold of Belgium, later as a Belgian colony, and afterward, as a so-called independent state that got disarrayed by a tug-of-war between the cold war rivals. That resulted in the inhuman dictatorship of pro-Western Mobutu Sese Seko, in wars during which millions of Congolese died, in the...

Paul Biya, l’octogénaire et deuxième président du Cameroun, a été au pouvoir depuis quarante-six ans (dix ans au poste de Premier Ministre — qui est la deuxième fonction en importance du pays, et trente-six ans en tant que Président — la plus haute fonction du pays), faisant de lui le chef d'État le plus ancien d'Afrique et du monde, qui n'est pas royal. Il est le gardien d'un système mis en place par la France il y a six décennies avant de permettre au Cameroun de devenir membre de l'Organisation des Nations Unies le 1er janvier 1960en lui accordant sa soi-disant ...

The independence fervor that gripped African colonies in the 1940s and 1950s was supposed to give birth to a "New Africa" that was expected to play a major role in advancing world civilization. What happened to make Africa fail so abysmally? By the end of the 1980s, a culture of political monolithism, dictatorship, corruption, coup d’état, mismanagement, underdevelopment and violence was dominating the political leadership of most African countries, fuelled by leaders with the evil disposition and their foreign puppeteers keeping them in power. The era of Mikhail Gorbachev’s Glasnost ...

El terror perpetrado por grupos de odio con un retorcido sentido de la justicia centrado en una causa para mitigar las miserias de un pueblo oprimido o para realizar un programa religioso (yihad), acecha al mundo hoy. En el mundo contemporáneo donde las personas, grupos y organizaciones se arrogan el derecho de hacer no sólo el establecimiento de que están en contra del objetivo de sus ataques, sino también considerar aceptable atacar a civiles indiscriminadamente si sirve a su propósito, el terrorismo es reconocido como la mayor amenaza para la seguridad mundial. Pero entonces, ¿qué...

Dans un monde contemporain en proie à des conflits et à des récits contradictoires visant à aseptiser ou à diaboliser les pays participants, une compréhension profonde mais concise de l'essence des belligérants est essentielle pour porter des jugements judicieux, prononcer des condamnations appropriées ou mener des actions justifiées. C'est dans cet esprit que l'auteur nous entraîne dans un voyage saisissant à travers sept siècles d'histoire polonaise, qui ont façonné le caractère de la nation, forgé son identité et établi ses relations avec ses voisins, d'une manière qui...

No continent has experienced half the political assassinations, coup d’états, internal and external wars, civil unrest, and economic upheaval s since the second half of the twentieth century that Africa suffered. Yet, hardly any serious pundit would say that the hands of foreign forces that are out to secure their “so-called interests” in the continent or that want to gain new ones, were not in most of these setbacks. That these external forces have roughly been succeeding with the help of Africans with the evil disposition or Africans ignorant of their game plan is true. Opposed to ...

Cette première partie du récit des hégémons qui ont façonné le monde occidental est une histoire millénaire impliquant la Rome antique et la nature de son monde qui impliquait les empires contre lesquels elle s'est battue, les terres et les peuples qu'elle a conquis, les invasions « barbares » qu'elle a vaincues et n'a pas réussi à arrêter, et l'influence qu'elle a exercée en Europe.

This account of a man who ultimately distinguished himself from the rest of the elites of his country as someone who would not accept the occupation of Nicaragua and play the role of a lap dog or puppet, explains in a very simple manner the nuances in the socio-political evolution of the Central American country that greatly influenced other struggles in Latin America. In Augusto C. Sandino, we see the development of a legend who rose from humble beginnings and whose sense of justice guided him in his epic journey of resistance to the oppressive forces in his country. Even though his ...

Surnommé par de nombreux experts « la guerre la plus stupide du monde », le conflit ukrainien est un conflit que presque personne n'avait prévu en 2010. Cependant, il arrive déjà à une décennie. Dans ce conflit dans une Ukraine également divisée, la stratégie de la corde raide des acteurs locaux du pays, de l'Occident qui veut entraîner l'Ukraine dans son orbite et de la Russie qui craint de perdre l'Ukraine et sa sécurité dans le processus, est la norme. Dans le même temps, le monde regarde d'une manière apparemment impuissante alors que l'Ukraine se déchire dans les ...

Était le partenariat entre l'armée française et l'opposition en Côte-d'Ivoire qui a abouti à la suppression de Laurent Gbagbo du pouvoir au cours de la guerre civile post-électorale, un effort pour restaurer la démocratie ou de la dernière pièce dans un plan visant à supprimer une menace pour l'infâme « La Pacte colonial» que la France a imposé à ses colonies en Afrique avant de leur accorder l'indépendance dans les années 1960? A été la suppression de Laurent Gbagbo et l'accession au pouvoir d'Alassane Ouattara un effort pour maintenir le système anachronique et ...

HEGEMON IN THE MAKING is the first part of the account of the hegemons that shaped the Western World, a thousand-year story per se about ancient Rome and the nature of its world.

In a Europe dominated by empires in the early years of the twentieth century, ethnic nationalism is challenging the status quo, threatening to throw the continent into an unfathomable turmoil. To hedge against this impending war, the different European leaders embarked on strengthening the alliances they had formed. Appearing the most vulnerable to this phenomenon is the multi-ethnic Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is situated at the heart of Europe and whose citizens come from Europe's three major language groups. But strangely enough, its emperor Franz Josef is loved by the majority of all...

The 2016 Presidential election will be remembered for ages not only for producing the biggest upset in the history of American politics, but also for the colorfulness of the primaries of both the Democratic and the Republican parties. When Bernie Sanders, the little-known Independent senator from small state Vermont boldly stated that he was a Democratic Socialist, and then began his race for the White House as a Democratic Party candidate, hardly anyone took him seriously. After all, he was up against the entire Democratic Party machinery and their favored candidate Hillary Clinton. Many ...
