Rens Van Der Sluijs:
Ever since the gradualist doctrine natura non facit saltus cast an ossifying spell on the academic community, catastrophist theories of myth and other traditions have been anathema to the learned.

Au sens strict, le Sahel désigne une immense bande de territoires marquant la transition, à la fois floristique et climatique, entre le Sahara désertique au nord et les savanes où les pluies sont fréquentes, au sud. D’est en ouest, il s’étend de l’Atlantique à la mer Rouge. Dans le langage géopolitique devenu courant, le concept de Sahel intéresse directement la Mauritanie, le Mali, le Niger, le Tchad, le Soudan, le Sénégal, la Mauritanie. Il concerne aussi toute une série de pays limitrophes qui participent à l’unité géographique et culturelle de la zone: le sud de l’Algérie, le sud de la Libye, le sud du Maroc, le nord du Sénégal, le nord du Burkina Faso, le nord du Nigéria, l’Ethiopie et l’Érythrée.

The future of the USA – 2012-2016: An insolvent and ungovernable United States (first part)

16th December, 2012
In this issue, our team gives its anticipations regarding the future of the United States for the 2012-2016 period. We recall that since 2006 and the first GEAB issues, LEAP/E2020 described the global systemic crisis as a phenomenon characterizing the end of the world as we know it since 1945, marking the collapse of the American pillar on which this world order has rested for nearly seven decades. Since 2006, we had identified the period 2011-2013 as that during which the “Dollar Wall” on which the power of the United States sits would fall apart. Summer 2011, with the cut in the United States’ credit rating by S & P, marked an historic turning point and confirmed that the “impossible” (1) was indeed in the process of coming true. Therefore today, it seems essential to provide our subscribers with a clear anticipatory vision of what awaits the “pillar” of the world before the crisis at the point when the crisis moved into “top gear” in summer 2011 (2).

On 19 March 2012, a high French official invited Arab journalists based in Paris to inform them of the internal battle being waged within the French government and, in particular, the Quai d’Orsay[the French Foreign Ministry] regarding Syria. According to this person, the French Ambassador in Damascus, Eric Chevallier, whose embassy had just been shut down and who had returned to Paris, challenged Minister Juppé in front of his colleagues. He accused Alain Juppé of having ignored his embassy reports and of having falsified summaries of them to provoke a war against Syria.

The Afghan investigation team of legislators investigating the Kandahar killings submitted a chilling report to the Afghan parliament in Kabul earlier today, which alleges that the killings were not the rampage of a rogue sergeant, as Pentagon claims, but a planned massacre involving many troops and even US army helicopters. The team also alleged that two Afghan women were sexually assaulted by the US troops before they were shot. The team claimed that 15 to 20 American troops were involved and it was a case of revenge killing following some insurgent activity in the area.
