OSCE Ministerial Council decision marks new step towards sustainable peace in the South Caucasus

OSCE - Mon, 01/09/2025 - 13:24

VIENNA/HELSINKI, 1 September 2025 - The OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Foreign Minister of Finland Elina Valtonen, and OSCE Secretary General Feridun H. Sinirlioğlu welcome the adoption of a Ministerial Council decision closing the Minsk process and related structures following a Joint Appeal from Armenia and Azerbaijan.

“I would like to once again extend my warmest congratulations to Armenia and Azerbaijan on their historic agreements towards peace and normalization of relations and their resolute decision to start their prompt implementation. I have responded without delay to their Joint Appeal and would like to express my sincere appreciation to the parties for their excellent co-operation in the process. I also would like to commend participating States for their collaborative spirit in achieving this consensus,” said Minister Valtonen.

This Ministerial Council decision follows the 8 August Joint Declaration signed in Washington D.C by Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan and President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and witnessed by U.S. President Donald J. Trump. The Ministerial Council decision was adopted by consensus of all 57 OSCE participating States.

“This is a historic development that underlines what diplomacy can achieve, even after decades of conflict and mistrust. It demonstrates that agreement remains possible when there is a shared determination between parties to find common ground,” said Secretary General Sinirlioğlu.

The OSCE Chairperson-in Office and OSCE Secretary General reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to supporting efforts that bring lasting peace and stability to Armenia, Azerbaijan and the wider region.

Following the adoption of this decision, the OSCE will take steps to implement the closure of the Minsk Process and its related structures. Only administrative functions, such as the handover of assets and equipment, will continue until the process is completed no later than 1 December 2025.

Measuring sustainable development progress in Peru using multivariate latent Markov models

Development is a complex phenomenon that involves economic, social, and environmental transformations. In recent decades, sustainable development (SD) has gained prominence as a policy objective, emphasizing balanced progress in economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection. However, measuring SD progress remains challenging, given the need to consider such multiple dimensions, which often show trade-offs; this is especially true in developing countries such as Peru, where rapid socioeconomic changes coexist with environmental degradation. Traditional metrics, such as GDP or composite indicators such as the Human Development Index, often fail to capture the multidimensional and dynamic nature of SD, especially in terms of the environmental side. This paper employs a multivariate latent Markov model (LMM) to assess Peru's progress toward SD from 2004 to 2017, incorporating economic, social, and environmental indicators. LMMs are advantageous, as they account for unobserved heterogeneity and state transitions between sustainability levels over time, offering a nuanced understanding of SD dynamics. Our findings reveal that while Peru experienced economic and social improvements during the study period, the inclusion of environmental factors in the SD measure curbs overall progress, highlighting potential trade-offs between poverty reduction and environmental quality. The results underscore the importance of integrating environmental considerations into SD strategies, particularly in the context of rapid economic growth. This study contributes methodologically by applying a dynamic and data-driven approach to measuring SD and provides valuable information on the interaction among its dimensions.

Kenya : nouveau charnier lié à une secte

France24 / Afrique - Mon, 01/09/2025 - 12:28
Le Kenya est sous le choc après l’exhumation de 32 corps dans le village de Kwa Binzaro. Ces dépouilles seraient liées à la secte chrétienne extrémiste déjà mise en cause dans la mort de plus de 400 personnes dans la forêt de Shakahola il y a deux ans. Cette découverte relance les critiques contre les autorités, accusées de ne pas avoir tenu leur promesse de sévir contre les mouvements sectaires.

Editorial de Bernard Lugan
Afrique du Sud et Algérie, les dernières buttes témoin de l’idéologie anti-impérialiste des années 1960
Buttes témoin de la période des luttes tiers-mondistes, l’Afrique du Sud et l’Algérie, deux pays sans passé national et créés par la colonisation, ont leurs références historiques et leurs définitions diplomatiques bloquées sur les années 1960. L’anti-impérialisme était alors le moteur central de nombreux mouvements politiques, culturels et intellectuels à travers le monde. Dans le contexte de la décolonisation et de la Guerre froide, le bloc de l’Est utilisait l’anti-impérialisme comme argument idéologique. L’URSS et la Chine se présentaient alors comme alliées des luttes du tiers-monde (Vietnam, Algérie, Cuba, Afrique du Sud). 
Depuis, le monde a changé, l’Union soviétique est redevenue la Sainte Russie et les Gardes rouges chinois se sont transformés en capitaines d’industrie…Le train de l’histoire est donc passé, mais l’Algérie et l’Afrique du Sud sont restées sur le quai de la gare… en compagnie de quelques pays dont l’horizon diplomatique est également bloqué sur une horloge arrêtée au siècle dernier, à la décennie 1960.
Dans l’affaire du Sahara occidental, l’alignement de l’Afrique du Sud sur les positions algériennes est parfaitement compréhensible. Il s’inscrit en effet dans la permanence de liens politiques et idéologiques noués à l’époque de la lutte contre l’apartheid, lorsque des militants de l’ANC s’entraînaient militairement à Tindouf aux côtés des membres du Polisario.
Dans sa politique anti-française, la vie politique algérienne semble quant à elle être obstinément bloquée sur le rétroviseur de la guerre d’indépendance des années 1954-1962.
Dans les deux pays, l’histoire n’est pas tant la connaissance du passé, qu’une thérapie nationale à travers l’addition de mythes et d’affirmations péremptoires de nature idéologique destinés à valoriser, ou même à inventer un passé glorieux.
Ecrire l’histoire de l’Algérie et celle de l’Afrique du Sud contraint à un choix. Soit suivre la trame de l’histoire officielle écrite par les plumitifs du FLN ou de l’ANC, ou bien s’en affranchir, mais en acceptant alors par avance les attaques et les procès d’intention. En Algérie comme en Afrique du Sud, l’historien est d’abord un vengeur de l’histoire dont la fonction est de s’affranchir d’un traumatisme existentiel. Et il le fait en s’accrochant à un passé reconstruit et même fantasmagorique, toujours inscrit dans le contexte des définitions idéologiques des années 1960. D’où l’impossibilité de réviser une histoire devenue dogme, toute critique étant vue comme du néo-colonialisme ou comme du racisme.
