In partnership with the Collège de France, France Culture, AFP and France Médias Monde, the Institut du Monde Arabe is launching a new event to decipher current affairs.
Connected to the flow of information, the Rendez-vous de l'actualité is a moment of deciphering, exchange and perspective for all, on the latest events in the Arab world. Set a few days before the event, the subject, question or event discussed will be taken from the region's immediate news, so as to be as close as possible to what's happening.
Rendez-vous de l'actualité at the IMA Auditorium on Wednesday December 20, at 7pm:
"What's left of Daech?"
On December 9, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi announced "the end of the war" waged since 2014 against the Islamic State. Vladimir Putin, for his part, announced the withdrawal of some Russian forces from Syria. Weakened and cornered since the recapture of Mosul in Iraq, then Raqqa in Syria at the end of October, Daech appears to be on its last legs, and already the question is being raised of foreign jihadists returning to their countries of origin. In these formerly occupied territories and beyond, one question remains: what is left of Daech?
