Les Violences Basées Sur Le Genre : Aperçus De La Mauritanie

"La pandémie de COVID-19 a aggravé la situation des violences basées sur le genre en Mauritanie, où de nombreuses femmes et filles sont soumises, stéréotypées et ne connaissent pas leurs droits. Les données montrent une augmentation des cas de violence conjugale, passant de 11% avant la pandémie à 16% pendant. Il est crucial que le gouvernement mauritanien, la société civile, les communautés et les activistes travaillent ensemble pour mettre fin à ces pratiques."

Education in the Prevention of Violent Extremism and Radicalization Within the Tunisian Youth

First of all, how should we define radicalization? Radicalization refers to a social and moral disruption process. This leads an individual to the adoption of a new vision of society, and new behaviors that, in the end, break the social pact. The European Union gives another definition according to which radicalization is the adoption process, by an individual, of a radical ideology in which violence is advocated in order to reach a specific objective.

Mauritania: Intra-Africa Trade in Value Added

The Mauritanian economy suffers a substantial lack of diversification, low productivity, and over-reliance on primary sectors. According to the world bank Mauritania: Country Economic Memorandum (2020), in 2017, mining and fishing products accounted for 98.1 percent of the country’s exports. The insufficiency of the economic diversification and the slow transformation of the economy have central implications when it comes to the vulnerability to external shocks such as exchange rate and commodity prices fluctuation. An example is the 2014 fall in the price of the commodity shock that led the 5.5 percent GDP growth in the period 2011-2014 to drop to 2.5 percent in the period 2015-2018. Moreover, the insufficient diversification of the economy results in the dependency on low value-added domestic activities, which in turn, is associated with limited job creation, low productivity, and sluggish growth.

Sub-urban Agriculture in Greater Tunis : Strategic Spatial Planning

Since the end of the 19th century, urban growth has been accompanied by a process of transformation of agricultural areas both inside and outside cities.

كوفيد-19 : أثر الأزمة الصحية الراهنة على اللاجئين و الامكانيات المتاحة لهم بالمخيمات لمجابهة فيروس كورونا

حاول القانون قدر الإمكان، في شخص المنظمات الدولية و الوكالات الفنية المتخصصة للأمم المتحدة، معاضدة جهود الطب في التصدي لفيروس الكورونا داخل مخيمات طالبي اللجوء سواء عبر تقديم مساعدات أو ضبط إطار تشريعي ملائم يساعد على مد يد العون للاجئين و كل من يشابههم في الوضعية الاقتصادية و الاجتماعية الهشة التي تجعلهم بحاجة للكثير من الدعم سواء من طرف الحكومات أو عن طريق جهود ذاتية. أهم هذه المبادرات تنشط عبر شبكة الانترنات لتقديم الغذاء و الدواء و الملابس على مستوى كل البلاد لكن يجب الإشارة إلى أن ارتفاع عدد المصابين بجائحة الكورونا يجعلنا جميعا على قدم المساواة سواء من حيث القدرة على التحمل أو احتمال الإصابة و هو ما دفع بالصحفي رياض صيداوي إلى التدليل على الطابع الديمقراطي لفيروس الكورونا و هي كوميديا سوداء تشي في جز ء منها بخطورة الوضع الحالي. لذا يجب أن نتجند لمحاربته سواء من خلال القلم و هو ما أصبو إليه عبر هذا المقال الصحفي أو النزول فعلياً للميدان لمجابهة الفيروس بالإمكانيات التقنية المتاحة إلى حد الآن و هو ما لم يتوانى عن تقديمه جميع العاملين بالقطاع الصحي .

Is COVID-19 a positive idiosyncrasy on the socio-economic scale in the Maghreb countries?

COVID-19 posed an unexpected global threat. Indeed, it has spiked a drastic economic downturn in such a short period of time through border closures, prophylactic isolation, social distance, brutal travel inhibition, etc. It has also caused a drastic economic recession in such a short period of time. Moreover, the surge in the use of medicines in hospitals has stimulated a production shortfall in order to meet the needs of the sick. Adverse effects on global health systems with a ripple effect on all aspects of human life as we know it.
