Chilling but accurate: Myanmar’s junta is prioritising survival over saving lives. Aid must go through local networks. The temporary ceasefire only came after Chinese pressure—following junta fire on aid convoys. Not goodwill, just damage control.

🇲🇲 Myanmar's earthquake deepens the humanitarian crisis. Essential that international aid doesn't empower the junta. The NUG is ready to step up—transparency and direct support to local communities are crucial. #Myanmar #Humanitarian #NUG www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

West African democracies make do with neighbouring military juntas. No sanctions, no rupture: a tacit normalisation. The Sahel is tipping over, without resistance. Who is still defending the democratic order? 🔗 urlr.me/DdVjzQ

Totally agree with @raphaelglucksmann.bsky.social : when facing totalitarian regimes, pacifism becomes an invitation to war through weakness. For our French-speaking readers, the article is available here: www.nouvelobs.com/monde/202503...

At a time when France is keeping a low profile in sub-Saharan Africa, Marine Le Pen is going to show her face in Chad. Somewhere between an attempt at parallel diplomacy and an unlikely quest for credibility. Déby / Le Pen, we get the friends we deserve. #LePen www.lemonde.fr/afrique/arti...

65 deaths in Senegal between 2021 and 2024, killed by security forces. A figure that reminds us: few democratic conquests are not paid for by the blood of demonstrators. From Bangladesh to Comoros, every regime leaves bodies behind before it falters. #Senegal #Democracy 🔗 urls.fr/teaYWN

An opponent banned from standing for election, arrested before the vote, detained without trial for over a year. When a regime is sure of its legitimacy, it lets the opposition express itself. When it knows it can only hold on by force, it locks it up. #Comores 🔗 urls.fr/GAesrX

Tunisia “stunned” by UN criticism of repression of opponents. Meanwhile, political trials and arrests continue. It's easier to be outraged than to respond. #Tunisia #HumanRights #Authoritarianism www.lemonde.fr/afrique/arti...

Four years after the coup in #Myanmar, the democratic resistance is holding firm despite the repression. The #EU must step up its support for civil society and the NUG to build a democratic future. Letting the junta win is not an option. #Democracy #Resistance #EU

Starlink arrives in Niger, promising broadband for all. But vital infrastructure under foreign control raises a question: who decides in a crisis? For the ruling putschists, connectivity without sovereignty is just another form of dependence. #Niger #Starlink urlr.me/fUC82m

Ama is the embodiment of resilience in Myanmar 🇲🇲, but she is not alone. Behind her, countless Burmese women, courageous and determined mothers, carry the democratic resistance on a daily basis, far from the spotlight but at the heart of the fight. A collective struggle for freedom. #Myanmar

Europe positioning itself as an alternative partner to the Chinese giant and the Trump administration in the Asia-Pacific is an Europe building its strategic autonomy. New funds are more than welcome as the void left by the United States in aid puts Burmese refugees and exiled activists at risk.
