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 in the Salle du Haut Conseil at the IMA on Thursday March 29, at 7pm:
"Somalia between internal weakness and the impotence of the international community"
Since 1991, Somalia has been plunged into violence andclan warfare. Operation Restore Hope, carried out in 1992 under the aegis of the UN, failed to restore peace. Last October's Chabab attack in Mogadishu, which killed almost 500 people, was a painful but all too brief reminderto the world of the plight of the Somali people.
What future is possible for this country, where the weakness of central power, the absence of the rule of law, poverty and clan divisions persist, while the international community remains powerless, or even turns a blind eye? And what common future can be envisaged with Somaliland, which seceded in 1991?
Debate moderated by Anthony Bellanger, journalist and international columnist for Les Inrocks and France Inter.
Speakers:
Roland Marchal, Researcher, CNRS
Géraldine Pinauldt, Doctor of Geography
