In partnership with the Collège de France, iReMMO, AFP and France Médias monde, the Arab World Institute 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 drawn from the region's immediate news, to keep as close as possible to what's happening.
Thursday March 28 at 7:00 pm:
"What's happening in Sudan?
The International Conference for the Reconstruction of Iraq ended in Kuwait on February 14. Bringing together more than 70 nations, it showed that the question of the future of the Iraqi state was at the heart of global concerns. Although, after years of war, the reconstruction of the country, a top priority for the Iraqi authorities, finally seems to be making headway, it is not necessarily a guarantee of lasting stabilization. What are the country's political, economic and social challenges? What does the future hold for the Iraqi federal state?
Pierre Haski will host this meeting with :
- RashidSaeed, journalist, activist and former Sudanese diplomat
- Clément Deshayes, PhD student at Paris 8 University, researcher in political sociology, specialist in Sudan
- Alice Franck, Geographer and lecturer in geography at the University of Paris-1 Panthéon-Sorbonne
Rashid Saeed will be able to give the more political elements;
Clément Deshayes will provide information from the field (evolution and structuring of demonstrations, organization of revolutionary committees in neighborhoods, differences in dynamics between Khartoum and the provinces, between social classes...);
and Alice Franck, who will not only re-situate Khartoum within the overall geography of Sudan, but will also address the phenomenon of diasporas (exporting demonstrations outside Sudanese borders, and what this says about French and European migration policies) and women.
