Créé par l’Association des entreprises partenaires de la Défense, le Prix de la reconversion des militaires Edition 2015 a été remis hier soir à l’Ecole militaire à Paris.
Le Prix "création d’entreprise" a été remis à David Prudenzano et à la brasserie artisanale Bleizi Du de Morlaix. Ancien sous-marinier spécialité "détecteur anti-sous-marin" avec plus de 12 000 heures de plongée, David Prudenzano va ouvrir à Morlaix une brasserie artisanale et familiale bio élaborant quatre types de bières : une blanche, une blonde, une red et une stout. Ces bières sont élaborées avec un goût gaélique plus tourbé.
Ce projet est pensé dans le cadre d’un "état d’esprit bio" en utilisant non seulement des produits bio, mais également en réutilisant les déchets (les drêches) pour nourrir des Black Angus des monts d’Arrées, la fameuse race de vaches bouchères. Toujours dans cette même approche, le développement de la production du houblon dans le Finistère est prévu dans les prochaines années. David Prudenzano souhaite travailler en lien avec la communauté bio locale afin de constituer des paniers de produits divers et ainsi promouvoir des ventes en circuits courts.
Le prix "option reprise d’entreprise" a été remis à Nicolas Ruelle pour la reprise de la société CSEM à Saint-Loubès (Gironde.
Ancien officier de marine (Ecole Navale, promotion 2000) spécialisé dans le nucléaire (il a dirigé les chaufferies nucléaires du porte-avions Charles-de-Gaulle). Nicolas Ruelle est à l’origine de Mother Ship, un projet de développement industriel basé sur la reprise de la société CESM, spécialiste de l’équipement portuaire basée à Saint-Loubès dans l’Entre-deux-Mers (Gironde).
Cette chaudronnerie employant 20 personnes est spécialisée dans l’étude, la conception, la fabrication, la pose et la maintenance d’équipements portuaires pour l’amarrage et l’accostage. Le but est de donner à la France un spécialiste d’envergure internationale dans le domaine. Les enjeux majeurs du développement sont des innovations techniques et l’export, principalement en Afrique et en Amérique du Sud.
Le jury a également décide de donner un "coup de pouce" à Franck Fayet, auxiliaire sanitaire de l’armée de Terre, pour un projet d’ouverture d’une poissonnerie La cabane du pêcheur, à Narrosse, près de Dax (Landes).
La cérémonie de remise du Prix de la reconversion des militaires a été ouverte par la députée Marie Récalde, membre de la commission de la défense nationale et des forces armées de l’Assemblée nationale. Les prix ont été a été remis par le contre-amiral Gilles Humeau, chargé de mission auprès du chef d’état-major de la marine, et le général Arnaud Martin, directeur de Défense Mobilité, l’Agence de reconversion de la Défense (ARD).
Depuis que le président Pierre Nkurunziza a entamé son troisième mandat au pouvoir, l’État enclavé d’Afrique orientale est plongé dans des troubles civils qui ont fait 240 morts et ont forcé 250 000 personnes à fuir vers les pays voisins.
Le coup d’accélérateur sur la question des financements climat n’a pas eu lieu.
In Deutschland laufen laut dem Generalbundesanwalt mehr als 100 Verfahren gegen deutsche Syrien-Kämpfer. Während Justizminister Heiko Maas von null Toleranz für radikale Terroristen spricht, fordern Unions-Minister eine Verschärfung des Strafrechts.

Daesh, the so-called Islamic State, has again wreaked havoc and destruction around the world. Attacks in Paris, Beirut and against a Russian airliner flying over Egypt have sparked a clamour for our military forces to do more. Many are even suggesting thousands of U.S. or European ground-forces be dispatched to fight Daesh directly in Syria and Iraq.
In order to succeed, military action should only be used to support a strategic political plan to rid the world of Daesh and to ensure groups like it are no longer able to grow, recruit and function.
Such a multifaceted effort must accept that death-cult groups like Daesh do not operate in a vacuum. They may have been created and led by sociopaths, but they survive and grow by different means.
We need to understand and confront the political, social and economic disenfranchisement that has allowed terror groups to gain growth and sustainability. To resolve these issues, we need to confront the root-causes in Syria and Iraq, and then the wider issues around the Islamic world.
First in Syria where the civil war caused by the Assad regime’s brutal repression of its own citizens – with military support from outside countries – has led to the disenfranchisement of the vast majority of Syrians. Daesh has been able to take advantage of Assad’s murderous campaign and usurp the Syrian people’s hopes for democracy.
In Iraq, the Government of the radical Dawa Party has excluded Sunni groups from the political and economic process. It failed to follow-up on promises made after the so-called Sunni-Awakening that rid Iraq of Al Qaeda, and continues to roundup and jail Sunnis, while forcing Tehran-backed militias into Sunni communities. The government in Baghdad so disillusioned the Sunni communities, that Daesh was able to take over cities and towns across western Iraq and even threaten the capital.
Daesh and groups like it have taken these local political problems and matched them with deeper feelings of disenfranchisement in the Islamic world.
As the world becomes ever more interconnected and globalisation reaches almost every society, many parts of the Islamic world have suffered economic and social collapse after years of stagnation and lack of progress. Young people in these communities look to the great wealth of the Gulf and the vast opportunities of the West and they feel left behind.
Daesh exploits these feelings to recruit. It tells the vulnerable this is due to some conspiracy to undermine Islam and that the only way out is to join them
Without dealing with these complex political issues, no amount of military action will ultimately solve the problem. Instead of leading with the military, the strategy to defeat Daesh should be based around five key initiatives:
- the international community should coalesce around building a peace-process in Syria. This will not be easy and will need to be matched with a long-term rebuilding and reconciliation process that brings in all those forced to leave and ensure the country does not slip back into civil war;
- the international community should ensure that a full reconciliation process is started and sustained in Iraq to bring the Sunni community back into political and economic life. This will entail a wide review of the present constitutional settlement, ensuring that Iraq does not fall back into sectarian conflict;
- a significant economic and social regeneration plan for the whole Middle East and North Africa should be created, based on opening-up of education, markets and capital. It should focus on participation for the region’s youth to offer them the sort of opportunities many in the West take for granted;
- military action should only be used in a limited and targeted fashion. It should ideally be led by Arab forces who could remove the sociopaths without stoking further anti-Western feelings;
- political leaders in the region must offer a brighter future for their citizens. The people of the region must be shown a future that is better than the past, one that can strengthen their society and culture while offering wealth and opportunity for all.
Ridding the world of groups like Daesh will not be easy and it will take time. Without a well thought-out and fully implemented political, social and economic plan, we will fail, and be confronted by more attacks like those we have recently seen.

December 8, 2015 (KHARTOUM) - The third meeting of the joint Sudanese –South Sudanese Joint Political and Security Committee (JPSC), scheduled to be held here on Wednesday, was postponed for internal Southern Sudanese security reasons.
South Sudanese ambassador to Khartoum Mayan Dot Waal on Tuesday announced for the third time the delay of a security meeting to discuss the operationalization of a buffer zone on the border between the two countries and the deployment of UN supported joint monitoring patrols.
Waal said the South Sudanese delegation headed by the defence minister was not able to travel to Khartoum due to security considerations in his country. However, he didn't elaborate on those reasons.
He told the semi-official Sudanese Media Centre (SMC) that a new date will be fixed for the talks later on.
In an extraordinary meeting in Addis Ababa held under the auspices of the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel(AUHP) last September, the JPSC agreed to reactivate the 10-mile wide safe demilitarized zone.
The two countries had deployed troops on the border following the signing of the Cooperation Agreement on 27 September 2012. But Juba stopped the operation fearing that demilitarized zone which is established on disputed areas along the border may be used by Sudan to support its territorial claims.
The deployment of the joint monitoring force however was seen crucial to support a successful implementation of a peace deal aiming to end the 21-month South Sudanese conflict.
Sudan also urges Juba since several years to implement this agreement as it accuses the South Sudanese government of harbouring rebels from Darfur and the Two Areas.
South Sudan broke away from Sudan in July, 2011, following a referendum held in January of that year.
