70. Armenia: A Decision for Europe?
May 5, 2026 · 4m
Armenia is moving closer to Europe politically. The focus of the European Political Community meeting in Yerevan was the country's change of course: After decades of Russian dependence, the loss of Nagorno-Karabakh, and Moscow's lack of protection, Armenia has been increasingly seeking closer ties with the EU and new security policy perspectives since 2024.

71. Russia: War weariness?
May 6, 2026 · 4m

Furthermore, there are increasing signs that Putin's Russia is coming under economic, social, and military pressure. A look at the maps.

72. Eastern Congo: Resource Curse in Kivu
May 7, 2026 · 4m

War has repeatedly broken out in the two provinces east of Kinshasa – North Kivu with its capital Goma and South Kivu with its capital Bukavu – for decades.

73. France and Africa: A New Strategy
May 11, 2026 · 4m
French President Macron has chosen Kenya and its capital Nairobi, home to one of East Africa's largest metropolitan areas, for an Africa-France summit.

74. Great Britain: A Time of Divisions
May 12, 2026 · 4m
The recent elections in Great Britain confirm the fragmentation of the political landscape.

This serves as a reminder that the United Kingdom is the result of a unique political construct.

75. Trump and Xi: A Showdown
May 13, 2026 · 4m
Given Donald Trump's chaotic governance, China likes to present itself as a neutral and stable state. However, this doesn't prevent the country from discreetly supporting Tehran and Russia, colonizing islands in the South China Sea, and advancing its military buildup. On the occasion of the meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping in Beijing: an assessment.

76. Hantavirus: Fear of a new pandemic?
May 14, 2026 · 4m

77. Gulf Crisis: The Emirates Targeted
May 18, 2026 · 4m

This provides an opportunity to try to understand why the Emirates are particularly targeted by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

78. Putin in China: A Weak Friend
May 19, 2026 · 4m
Xi Jinping is portraying Beijing as the center of power: After Donald Trump, he also received Vladimir Putin. The message: Nothing happens globally without China, but strategic proximity lies with Russia. While Moscow is weakened by war and crisis, Beijing's influence is growing – and the balance of power between the two partners is shifting.

79. Asia: An Aging Population
May 20, 2026 · 4m
Busan, South Korea's vibrant port city, is facing a demographic collapse: Since 1995, 600,000 people have left the city, and almost half of the remaining 3.2 million inhabitants are over 50. Young people are moving to Seoul – but jobs and opportunities are scarce. This is an example of Asia's rapid demographic change, which poses existential challenges for entire regions.

80. Lithuania: Air Raid Alert
May 21, 2026 · 4m

81. War in Sudan: The Parties to the Conflict
May 25, 2026 · 4m

The conflict also highlights the growing importance of drones. According to the UN, drones have killed 880 civilians in Sudan since last January.

82. Belarus: Ukraine worried
May 26, 2026 · 4m
The Orechnik hypersonic missile that struck Kyiv on Sunday was launched from Belarus. This is likely part of a new Kremlin strategy: With the Russian army bogged down in the east, it is attempting to regain the upper hand by opening a northern front with Minsk's support. Belarus, Russia's backyard, has not always been so compliant.

83. Abraham Accords: Trump, the Pope and the Catholics
May 27, 2026 · 4m
In 2020, Donald Trump helped normalize relations between Israel and several Arab countries. Now, as the Middle East is shaken by multiple conflicts, the American president is demanding that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan and Turkey do the same. A statement that disregards the reality of the dividing lines that currently run through the Middle East.

84. Climate: Cities and Heat
May 28, 2026 · 4m
Temperature records have just been broken across Western Europe. These extreme heat waves, which are becoming increasingly frequent due to human-induced climate change, are felt even more intensely in urban areas. This presents a good opportunity to look at cities around the world that are adapting and finding solutions to lower temperatures.

85. Lebanon: Is Israel Pushing Beyond the Limits?
June 1, 2026 · 4m
The Israeli flag now flies over the Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon.

87. Artificial Intelligence: France Takes the Lead
June 3, 2026 · 4m
If foreign investors choose France to build data centers, it is notably because of its nuclear power, which ensures cheaper electricity regardless of the international context. AI requires a lot of electricity to operate. Today, this industry sits at the heart of all geopolitical challenges. Let’s pull out our maps.

88. Morocco: The Continent’s Industrial Champion
June 4, 2026 · 4m
According to the African Development Bank, Morocco became the continent’s industrial champion in 2026, overtaking South Africa. Positioning itself as a major port and logistics hub, the country has successfully attracted new investors and manufacturers, particularly in the automotive and aerospace sectors. This provides an opportunity to better understand Morocco’s strategy of international openness and integration, from the reign of Hassan II to that of Mohammed VI.

89. Middle East: 100 Days of War
June 8, 2026 · 4m
Despite the "ceasefire" between the United States and Iran, the situation seems to be slipping out of Donald Trump's control: Israel continues to strike Beirut’s southern suburbs, Hezbollah continues to launch rockets and drones at northern Israel, Iran fires ballistic missiles at the Jewish state, which in turn strikes Iran again in response... The Middle East has rarely appeared more unstable.

90. Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un: an alliance of mutual interest
June 9, 2026 · 4m
Xi Jinping’s visit to North Korea serves several purposes: to showcase China’s diplomatic power, but also to remind Vladimir Putin that the Pyongyang-Moscow alliance, strengthened in the context of the war in Ukraine, must not overshadow the Pyongyang-Beijing relationship. For his part, Kim Jong-un benefits from playing both sides - Russian and Chinese.

91. Bahrain: The End of Calm
June 10, 2026 · 4m
Following the destruction of an Apache helicopter, Donald Trump decided to strike Iran once again. Iran, in turn, targeted several countries in the region, including Bahrain. This discreet Gulf monarchy has hosted the US Fifth Fleet for years, something long seen as its “life insurance.” But today, on the contrary, Bahrain is no longer spared from war.

92. FIFA World Cup 2026 - Sport and Geopolitics
June 11, 2026 · 4m
