Pourtant, l’Iran continue à riposter sur les bases militaires et diplomatiques de ses agresseurs dans le Golfe et au Levant. L’Iran dure. Certes, les minorités ne se sont pas encore soulevées contre les Perses, mais nul n’avait prévu l’extraordinaire résilience de Téhéran.

La métamorphose des États-Unis (II) Donald Trump prend acte des limites du jacksonnisme par Thierry Meyssan Réseau Voltaire | Paris (France) | 28 avril 2026 Deutsch ελληνικά Español italiano Português русский

La métamorphose des États-Unis (II) Donald Trump prend acte des limites du jacksonnisme par Thierry Meyssan Les évènements s’enchaînent mal. Au moment où le président Trump lance son Kuturkampf contre l’Église catholique pour réaffirmer le caractère anglo-saxon et non pas aztèque de son pays, il essuie un lourd échec face à l’Iran. Il doit constater que sa manière de conduire des affaires commerciales ne peut pas remplacer la diplomatie, tout au moins avec cet interlocuteur. Et que son idéologie jacksonienne, qui fait des merveilles sur les questions intérieures, ne permet pas de répondre aux problèmes stratégiques. Conscient de l’impasse dans laquelle il se trouve, Donald Trump s’adapte. Il change du tout au tout.

¡El general Dan Caine impide bombardeo nuclear de Trump contra Irán!, en medio del “manifiesto Palantir” de control tecnológico por Alfredo Jalife-Rahme El presidente estadounidense Donald Trump va cediendo a la tentación de la escalada –si los bombardeos “clásicos” no funcionan contra Irán, ¿por qué no recurrir a la bomba atómica?, si a fin de cuentas el que tiene armas atómicas es Estados Unidos y no Irán.

Unlocking new crisis response tools to build a more resilient future Anna BjerdeEd Mountfield February 01, 2024 This page in: English Français Español العربية Русский 中文 © 2026 The World Bank Group, All Rights Reserved.

https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/voices/unlocking-new-crisis-response-tools-build-more-resilient-future The world is facing a perfect storm of intertwined challenges—from the intensifying climate impacts and growing pandemic risks to deepening conflicts and the slowest half-decade of gross domestic product growth in 30 years. These overlapping crises are not only a “new normal” for countries, but also pose an unprecedented threat to poverty reduction and economic development, making it harder for families to put food on the table, send their children to school, and cope with worsening natural disasters. The past three years have made one thing clear: we can no longer afford to treat crises as surprises. Developing countries need more and better tools to manage the multiplying challenges they face. As we rethink development in the age of crisis, enhancing crisis preparedness and response and building resilience must be central to our solutions . © 2026 The World Bank Group, All Rights Reserved.

https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/video/2024/02/26/crisis-toolkit-responding-challenges-era-crises-expert-answers?cid=ECR_TT_worldbank_EN_EXT In an era of overlapping and often intertwined crises, how well countries can prepare for and respond to shocks is crucial. The World Bank Group’s recently launched expanded Crisis Toolkit equips developing countries to do just that, whether they’re faced with natural disasters such as hurricanes or earthquakes, or public health emergencies like pandemics. This expanded Crisis Toolkit is designed to fill gaps based on lessons learned from previous crisis response, and substantially expands tools available to countries to protect them in times of crisis and enable faster and more effective recovery from disasters. © 2026 The World Bank Group, All Rights Reserved.

Keeping women on the sidelines of the economy isn’t simply unjust—it’s self-defeating Indermit Gill February 24, 2026 This page in: English Español العربية 中文 © 2026 The World Bank Group, All Rights Reserved.

https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/voices/keeping-women-on-the-sidelines-of-the-economy-isnt-simply-unjust-its-self-defeating It’s a shocking statistic: across the world today, more than 95 percent of women live in an economy that does not provide full legal equality—and not one economy has secured the legal rights needed for women’s full economic participation. Even in economies that have modernized their laws, women still face constraints that hamper the work they can do, the businesses they can start, and the safety they need to pursue opportunities. © 2026 The World Bank Group, All Rights Reserved.

https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/africacan/how-ai-and-machine-learning-can-predict-and-explain-social-risks-for-more-effective-development-operations At the time when the Government of South Africa approached the World Bank’s Disaster Risk Financing (DRF) Program about looking beyond natural disasters to social risks such as social violence, which costs South Africa $45.6 billion (13% of GDP) annually, we had already begun exploring this challenge. We were grappling with the complex, dynamic way in which social risks interact with public health emergencies, trade, conflict, extreme weather, and people’s perceptions of them in different places—a mix commonly referred to as polycrises. © 2026 The World Bank Group, All Rights Reserved.

https://www.worldbank.org/en/region/lac/publication/perspectivas-economicas-america-latina-caribe Latin America and the Caribbean enter 2026 with growth still constrained by long-standing structural challenges. Regional GDP growth is projected to reach 2.1 percent this year, below the 2.4% recorded in 2025.The lack of improvement comes with downward revisions in some country projections and reflects a familiar mix of demand: private consumption remains the main driver, while investment stays subdued amid elevated global and domestic uncertainty and still‑restrictive real (inflation-adjusted) financing conditions. Stagnation in economic growth and persistent difficulties in creating high-quality jobs have moved industrial policy back to the radar of the policy debate. © 2026 The World Bank Group, All Rights Reserved.

But in country after country, there has been no real choice on offer. As CIVICUS’s 2026 State of Civil Society Report documents, what has frequently been on display is a procedural ceremony of democracy, orderly enough to satisfy observers, but hollow enough to leave those who hold the reins of power untroubled. Laws and structures that were supposed to promote democratic decisions have been manipulated into compliance checks, ticking all procedural requirements while lacking democratic substance. In too many cases, the ballot box has become a public relations exercise. Copyright © 2026 IPS-Inter Press Service.

The large and sustained impacts of Group Consulting on firm performance and jobs David McKenzie April 20, 2026 This page in: English © 2026 The World Bank Group,

https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/impactevaluations/the-large-and-sustained-impacts-of-group-consulting-on-firm-perf There is now strong evidence that good management practices matter for firms, and that these practices can be improved by consulting. However, two big issues in translating this evidence into policy are cost and sustainability. Individual one-on-one consulting can be expensive – a global consulting company that we partnered with in India provided services valued at $250,000 per firm, and even using local consultants in Colombia cost about $29,000 per firm. Moreover, even if these consultants succeed in improving management, there are many reasons to worry about fade-out. Boston Consulting Group estimates that two-thirds of corporate transformations fail, as staff turns over and priorities change. Once a shock arrives, perhaps management is like a new habit that reverts to the old. © 2026 The World Bank Group,

For many developing economies, particularly in South and Southeast Asia, the consequences of such disruptions are immediate and acute. Higher oil prices translate quickly into higher transportation costs, rising food prices, fiscal pressure from fuel subsidies, and deteriorating household welfare. © 2026 The World Bank Group,

https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/education/large-classes-are-a-reality-what-can-be-done When classrooms are already overcrowded and children are still waiting to enroll, finding a solution is not straightforward.

The tradeoff is significant: Each student receives less instructional time, but more children can attend school and overcrowded classrooms are avoided.

Fish in the Desert: Scaling up Aquaculture to Feed and Employ the Sahel Hawa Cissé WaguéEllysar BaroudyRuth Garcia Gomez April 22, 2026 This page in: English Français © 2026 The World Bank Group,

https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/africacan/fish-in-the-desert-scaling-up-aquaculture-to-feed-and-employ-the-sahel After spending several years studying aquaculture in China and Japan, Moussa Samake came back to Mali only to discover the lack of opportunities waiting for him. The Sahel — defined by its arid landscapes, long dry seasons, and cycles of uncertainty — seemed an unlikely place to farm fish. Jobs were scarce. Young men spent their days at the grin, the traditional social gathering spots that have become, for many, a symbol of idle waiting in a region short on prospects. For a trained aquaculture specialist, the gap between ambition and reality could not have been wider. © 2026 The World Bank Group,
