Az EU-ba érkező migráció kezelésében kulcskérdés az integráció. A migrációs paktumot ugyan nem erre találták ki, mégis lehet hatása az EU-n kívülről érkezők beilleszkedésében.

Palestine, Venezuela... Albin Kurti aligne la position du Kosovo sur celles des États-Unis, mais comment le petit État peut-il trouver sa place dans le nouveau désordre mondial ? Son existence même résulte d'un consensus transatlantique, réunissant l'Otan et l'Union européenne. Belgzim Kamberi en discute avec l'analyste politique Agon Maliqi.

La Cour spéciale des affaires foncières a examiné, lundi 16 février 2026, un dossier de ventes multiples de parcelles à Ouidah. Le prévenu risque 10 ans de prison.

Le prévenu C.C., est poursuivi pour avoir cédé à plusieurs reprises des parcelles déjà vendues. Selon les informations rapportées par Fraternité, il se serait présenté comme le propriétaire légitime de plusieurs lots issus d'un morcellement dont il détenait le plan de levée. Il avait déjà procédé à une première série de ventes régulières. Par la suite, il a encore effectué de nouvelles transactions sur certaines parcelles au profit d'autres acquéreurs.

Les diligences effectuées par l'huissier ont permis de confirmer que les parcelles concernées avaient effectivement fait l'objet d'une seconde cession. Il s'agit d'une infraction grave punie en République du Bénin. Le ministère public s'est appuyé sur l'article 512, alinéa 1, du Code foncier et domanial en vigueur au Bénin. Il a requis contre le prévenu une peine de dix ans d'emprisonnement, dont cinq ans fermes, une amende de 500 000 FCFA ainsi que la condamnation aux dépens. La décision de la Cour est attendue le 2 mars 2026.

Africa has become import-dependent for staple food cereals over the past five decades. It is an ongoing dispute if increasing import dependency in Africa is causing food security risks for its population fueled by recent increases of uncertainties around international trade caused by geopolitical tensions and global trade policy disruptions. We call for an all-African approach based on regionally coordinated domestic support policies to increase Africa’s self-sufficiency and reduce international imports. We argue that the recent trend towards self-sufficiency as the overarching goal is not a sufficient strategy to improve food security because domestic support policies distort markets, increase prices, and set wrong incentives. Trade distorting policies risk undermining the benefits of regional and international trade for food security because often only trade can provide an efficient insurance mechanism against local supply shocks. A regional policy coordination is required for country-specific policy decisions framed by an all-African trade policy framework to balance production and imports primarily at the continental level. If a food self-sufficiency approach — for political reasons — is to be pursued, it should be in a way that is less distortive of the domestic and regional markets.

There is increasing recognition that significant hidden costs associated with agrifood systems are not reflected in market prices. Coffee is among the three most traded agricultural commodities in the world and supports the livelihoods of more than 30 million smallholder households. This study quantifies the environmental and social hidden costs of coffee value chains in three countries in Eastern Africa (Ethiopia, Uganda, and Tanzania) to guide interventions to address them. We apply and refine simplified True Cost Accounting (TCA) methodologies to quantify environmental hidden costs associated with climate, soil, water, and biodiversity, as well as social hidden costs associated with child labour, gender inequality, and the living income gap. We use the marginal damage cost approach of Lord (2023) to monetize externalities and quantify significant social and environmental hidden costs that add up to USD 5–7 per kilogram of coffee. These hidden costs equal 70%–125% of the farm gate price for Arabica and about twice the farm gate price for Robusta, relative to average prices at the time of the surveys. Hidden costs associated with the living income gap constitute the largest share, particularly in Ethiopia. Large variations in hidden costs across different production systems and regions underscore the importance of detailed value chain assessments to take action to address these hidden costs.

We contribute to the understanding of household resilience to shocks by using high-frequency data collected in short spans of two to three months. We examine three issues: first, whether frequent shocks within the year affect households’ food security in short periods of two to three months. Secondly, whether Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis (RIMA II) can be used to measure the resilience capacity of households to shocks using high-frequency data, and whether the accumulation of shocks erodes this resilience. Thirdly, whether the resilience estimation using RIMA II compares closely with the subjective resilience measure. Our study reveals that (1) shocks specifically drought and theft of agriculture produce within the year affect the food security of the households, (2) RIMA-II metrics can be used to measure the resilience capacity of households with high-frequency data collected in six months duration, (3) the asset pillar is a crucial factor in ensuring the resilience of households within short periods (4) RIMA II and the subjective resilience measure are moderately comparable and each may identify different factors that constitute resilience. The results highlight the need for development and humanitarian agencies to consider supporting asset building and non-farm income-generating activities to moderate the effects of shocks on resilience.
