Last Saturday, thousands of British people demonstrated in London for the United Kingdom’s return to the EU. They converged on Parliament Square brandishing European flags and placards demanding the country’s return to the Union. The demonstrators expressed their anger at the media, their feeling of having been deceived and their desire to rejoin the European Union. Despite the absence of a major political party advocating this return, they remain hopeful in the pressure of public opinion to change things. The mobilization reflects the dissatisfaction of part of the British population with Brexit and their hope for a turnaround in the situation.

On Saturday February 22, 2023, thousands of people mobilized in different cities in France to denounce police violence and systemic racism. In Paris, a few incidents punctuated the demonstration, but they do not reflect the entire mobilization which was held in a peaceful spirit. This fight for fundamental rights goes well beyond the simple denunciation of police abuses, it is a fight for justice and human rights. This mobilization underlines the importance of preserving the fundamental rights of each individual and of demanding justice and accountability for the acts of violence committed by certain members of the police. By supporting these movements, we contribute to building a more just and egalitarian society for all.

The meeting between President Tshisekedi and Belgian Prime Minister De Croo in September 2023 provided an opportunity to discuss the issues of the electoral process in the DRC and the security challenges facing the country. Despite the difficulties, it is crucial to maintain the electoral calendar to meet the expectations of the Congolese people. International cooperation, in particular with the European Union, is essential to ensure credible and transparent elections. The issue of security remains a major challenge which requires an approach based on dialogue and regional cooperation.

Summary :
A Ukrainian strike on the Russian Black Sea fleet headquarters in Sevastopol has put the city on alert. This attack, seen as a response to Russia’s aggressive actions in the region, provoked reactions from both the Ukrainian and Russian sides. The political and military consequences of this attack on the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia are still uncertain. It is essential that both sides engage in negotiations to avoid military escalation and that the international community facilitates dialogue.

The demilitarization of Nagorno-Karabakh forces in cooperation with Russia is an important step towards the peaceful resolution of the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. This demilitarization aims to create an environment conducive to negotiations and lasting political settlement. Although challenges remain, such as disarming separatist fighters and reconciling ethnic communities, the presence of Russian peacekeepers guarantees security during this transition period. Maintaining dialogue and collaboration is essential to ensure lasting peace in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
