Sénégal, guerre au Moyen-Orient et Mondial 2026
Diving into African current affairs, this week’s discussion examines Senegal’s evolving political landscape alongside escalating tensions in the Middle East and preparations for the 2026 World Cup. With the establishment of a presidential party and the constitutional reform’s rejection by the Constitutional Council, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye’s strategy faces critical scrutiny from opposition forces and public opinion alike.
In the Middle East, tensions involving Iran have intensified once again. Following a fresh wave of airstrikes and retaliatory measures, Donald Trump declared the ceasefire “over,” dismissing negotiations with Tehran as a “waste of time.” His remarks amplify concerns about potential new military escalations in the region, leaving many to wonder whether another full-blown conflict is imminent.
Every week, a panel of African journalists and commentators dissects the most pressing African and international developments.
The roundtable features:
- Wuldath Mama, Beninese journalist specializing in international affairs
- Eric Topona, Chadian journalist with Deutsche Welle’s Francophone Africa desk
- François Hiondi Nkam, veteran reporter and Head of the Economy desk at Cameroon’s Le Jour newspaper
