African–European Relations (Vol. 22)

After two years of limited high-level exchanges during which Europe and Africa found themselves on different sides of principal geopolitical fault-lines, 2025 brought about a partial reset in EU–Africa relations, centred on pragmatism and investment rather than political convergence. The year carried symbolic weight: it marked a quarter-century since the inaugural Africa–EU summit in Cairo in April 2000. This anniversary added impetus to the convening of the seventh summit between the AU and the EU in Luanda, Angola, on 24 and 25 November. This is not to say that this year strengthened political convergence between the two groupings on the divisive issues of Gaza and Ukraine, or a clear course of action on the ongoing civil war and ethnic cleansing in Sudan. Nor did it see a breakthrough in ongoing disputes on EU policy frameworks such as its Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. Yet at the summit, continuing the pattern started at the previous Brussels summit of 2022, signs were visible of a more pragmatic approach to partnering. The preceding AU–EU Business Forum underlined that even though a rights-based agenda and commitments to peace and security still mattered to the partnership, the primary focus was now on promoting investment and economic development. This was in line with the global trend of further aid cuts and an increased focus on business relations. The same dynamics could be seen in the latest Africa strategies and guidelines adopted in Germany and Spain, which, just like the prominent Mattei Plan of Italy, stressed the promotion of mutual (economic) benefits and investment. The abrupt cutting of the USAID budget was in part justified by similar logics, referring to a corrupt and inefficient aid sector and the strength of business partnerships in fostering economic development. Another important highlight concerned the European Commission’s publication of its legislative proposals for the next EU budget covering the period 2028–34. As part of this package, the Commission proposed a budget of € 200 bn for an overarching Global Europe Instrument. The Commission proposed that out of this total budget for the Instrument, there should be € 60.5 bn for cooperation with sub-Saharan Africa, as well as € 42.9 bn for the Middle East and North Africa region, which includes the North African states. However, unlike in the current budget, the funding reserved for Africa is listed as indicative, without legal text guaranteeing them as minimum spend, leaving it more vulnerable to changes in priorities and unforeseen challenges.

Trafic de stupéfiants : Près de 86 kg de cannabis saisis à Ouagadougou

Lefaso.net (Burkina Faso) - Tue, 29/09/2026 - 13:39

La Police nationale a annoncé, ce mardi 29 septembre 2026, le démantèlement d'un réseau présumé impliqué dans le trafic et la vente de stupéfiants à Ouagadougou. L'information a été publiée sur la page Facebook officielle de l'institution.

L'opération a été menée par l'Unité anti-drogue de la Direction de la police judiciaire (DPJ), dans le cadre des actions engagées contre le trafic et la consommation de drogues dans la capitale.

Selon la Police nationale, le réseau démantelé était également impliqué dans la vente et la consommation de boissons frelatées, de cigarettes de contrebande et de produits psychotropes.

D'après les éléments communiqués par la Police, les membres du réseau s'approvisionnaient en marchandises depuis un pays voisin. Les produits étaient ensuite acheminés vers Ouagadougou à bord de véhicules de transport en commun ou de véhicules personnels. Une fois dans la capitale, les marchandises étaient stockées avant d'être vendues ou redistribuées. Une partie du cannabis était notamment destinée à des revendeurs et grossistes opérant sur plusieurs sites d'orpaillage à travers le pays, notamment Boromo et Poura dans la province des Balé, Zanténé dans la province du Sanguié, Sabcé dans la province du Bam, et Mogré et Bittou dans la province du Boulgou.

Au cours de l'interpellation des membres du réseau, les enquêteurs ont saisi, selon la Police nationale, près de 86 kilogrammes de cannabis. Des motos, des boissons alcoolisées frelatées, des paquets de cigarettes de contrebande, des plaquettes de produits psychotropes ainsi que du numéraire ont également été saisis.
La Police nationale souligne que cette opération a notamment été rendue possible grâce à la collaboration des populations. Elle remercie les citoyens ayant contribué à l'aboutissement de l'enquête.

L'institution appelle par ailleurs la population à davantage de vigilance et invite particulièrement les parents d'élèves et les responsables d'établissements scolaires à signaler tout comportement ou fait suspect susceptible de contribuer à la circulation des stupéfiants.
Elle rappelle que les numéros verts 17, 16 et 1010 restent disponibles pour permettre aux citoyens de signaler les situations nécessitant l'intervention des services compétents.

Un instituteur et son fils périssent dans les eaux

24 Heures au Bénin - Tue, 29/09/2026 - 13:36

Les recherches engagées depuis lundi 28 septembre 2026 à Djidja ont pris fin avec la découverte des corps d'un instituteur et de son fils, emportés par les eaux après la pluie.

Wilfried Houngbadji, enseignant à l'Ecole primaire publique d'Agonhohoun à Djidja, regagnait son domicile à moto après les cours, lundi 28 septembre 2026, avec son fils en classe de CM1, lorsque le pire est survenu.

Les eaux ont emporté les deux occupants de la moto lorsqu'ils ont tenté de franchir un passage submergé sur le bras du fleuve Mono appelé Akpalo, après de fortes pluies.

Les sapeurs-pompiers, les forces de sécurité et des habitants se sont mobilisés pour les retrouver.

La moto avait été récupérée dans les eaux, tandis que les recherches se poursuivaient pour localiser le père et l'enfant. Elles ont finalement abouti ce mardi 29 septembre avec le repêchage des deux corps.

L'information a été confirmée à La Nouvelle Tribune par Dah Atômin Houmbadji, chef de la collectivité Houmbadji et premier adjoint au maire d'Abomey.

Le drame intervient alors que plusieurs localités connaissent une montée des eaux consécutive aux fortes pluies. Il rappelle la dangerosité des traversées de passages submergés par les eaux.
