La montée des eaux du fleuve Ouémé affecte plusieurs localités de la commune d'Adjohoun, dans le département de l'Ouémé. À Gangban, Togbota, Dannou et Gogbo, les inondations touchent les habitations et les terres agricoles et les activités scolaires sont perturbées.

La crue du fleuve Ouémé perturbe les conditions de vie des populations de Gangban, Togbota, Dannou et Gogbo, dans la commune d'Adjohoun. La montée des eaux entraîne la submersion de terres agricoles et encercle des habitations.

La situation affecte aussi les activités économiques des populations, dont une partie dépend de l'agriculture. Face aux difficultés rencontrées, les habitants appellent les autorités à intervenir pour leur apporter une assistance.

Le secteur de l'éducation est aussi touché. À l'École primaire publique (EPP) de Dannou, dans l'arrondissement de Gangban, les cours sont interrompus.

La crue du fleuve Ouémé est un phénomène saisonnier qui survient généralement entre août et novembre au Bénin. Elle est liée aux précipitations dans le bassin du fleuve, notamment dans le nord et le centre du pays, ainsi qu'aux pluies enregistrées dans le sud. La montée des eaux entraîne régulièrement des inondations dans les communes de la vallée et du delta de l'Ouémé, notamment Dangbo, Adjohoun, Bonou, les Aguégués et Zagnanado, avec des conséquences sur les habitations, les cultures et le bétail.

Début octobre, le maire d'Adjohoun, Félicien Hounkanrin, a appelé les populations à redoubler de vigilance face à la montée des eaux.

Ananas, cajou, soja, manioc…plusieurs produits agricoles du Bénin peuvent trouver leur place sur les marchés internationaux. La coopération avec la Chine bénéficie dèjà à des producteurs béninois dans ce cadre. Mais un défi reste à relever : vendre plus que des récoltes, en développant des produits transformés, compétitifs et capables de voyager loin.

Une récolte abondante ne signifie pas toujours un revenu à la hauteur des efforts fournis. Entre le champ et le marché, les difficultés de conservation, le manque d'équipements adaptés ou l'insuffisance des débouchés peuvent réduire les bénéfices du travail agricole. Pour les producteurs de fruits, notamment, le temps compte : un produit qui se conserve mal est aussi un produit qui risque de perdre de sa valeur. Telle est la dure réalité à laquelle font face les agriculteurs des pays africains dont le Bénin.

C'est dans ce contexte que la coopération sino-béninoise peut prendre tout son sens. Pas seulement dans les échanges commerciaux, mais dans la capacité à aider à mieux conserver, transformer et commercialiser les productions locales.

L'ananas, une porte ouverte sur la Chine

L'ananas pain de sucre du Bénin est un produit agricole prisé des consommateurs. Sa réputation dépasse les frontières nationales et le marché chinois représente une perspective intéressante pour cette filière. En octobre 2025, l'ambassade de Chine au Bénin a annoncé une avancée concernant les conditions techniques et sanitaires encadrant l'exportation des ananas béninois vers la Chine. Cette étape rappelle qu'accéder à un marché exigeant ne dépend pas seulement de la qualité reconnue d'un fruit. Il faut aussi respecter les règles sanitaires, assurer la traçabilité et garantir des conditions de conditionnement et de transport adaptées.

Mais l'enjeu dépasse l'exportation de fruits frais.

L'ananas peut aussi être séché, transformé en jus ou conditionné sous d'autres formes. Ces possibilités ouvrent des perspectives aux petites entreprises, aux unités de transformation et aux jeunes entrepreneurs. Elles peuvent également contribuer à limiter les pertes lorsque les récoltes sont abondantes.

Encore faut-il disposer des équipements, de l'énergie, des emballages et des financements nécessaires. Un débouché à l'étranger ne devient une véritable opportunité que si les acteurs locaux ont les moyens d'y répondre.

Transformer ici pour gagner davantage

La même réflexion concerne la noix de cajou, le soja et le manioc. Ces produits ne doivent pas être considérés uniquement comme des marchandises à écouler. Ils peuvent servir de base à la fabrication d'huiles, de farines, de boissons et d'autres produits alimentaires destinés aux marchés béninois et étrangers.

La Zone industrielle de Glo-Djigbé (GDIZ) illustre cette ambition de transformation locale.

Développée dans le cadre d'un partenariat public-privé entre l'État béninois et le groupe ARISE IIP, elle accueille notamment des unités de transformation du soja, de la noix de cajou et d'autres matières premières du Bénin. L'objectif est de donner davantage de valeur aux matières premières produites au Bénin, au lieu de les exporter uniquement à l'état brut. La GDIZ n'est pas un projet sino-béninois, mais son expérience éclaire un enjeu central de la coopération avec la Chine. Comment les investissements et les échanges peuvent-ils contribuer à renforcer les capacités industrielles du pays ?

La transformation locale permet de créer plusieurs activités autour d'une même récolte : collecte, stockage, transport, production, emballage et commercialisation. Elle peut ainsi multiplier les possibilités d'emploi, notamment pour les femmes et les jeunes déjà engagés dans les activités agroalimentaires.

La coopération avec la Chine pourrait contribuer à renforcer cette dynamique, notamment par des investissements, des équipements de transformation, des solutions de conservation et des échanges de compétences. Il ne s'agit pas de présumer que ces apports sont déjà acquis dans toutes les filières, mais de déterminer comment les partenariats peuvent répondre aux besoins réels des producteurs et des entreprises béninoises.

Un partenariat à mesurer sur le terrain

En 2023, le Bénin et la Chine ont signé un mémorandum d'entente portant sur le stockage et la réduction des pertes de céréales après la récolte. Cet axe de coopération rappelle une réalité souvent moins visible que les grands projets : préserver ce qui a été produit est aussi important que produire davantage. Reste à traduire les intentions en résultats concrets. Les producteurs ont besoin de débouchés fiables et de prix rémunérateurs. Les transformateurs doivent pouvoir accéder aux machines, au crédit et aux emballages conformes aux exigences des marchés. Quant aux consommateurs, ils attendent des produits sains, de bonne qualité et à des prix abordables.

La réussite de la coopération agroalimentaire sino-béninoise se jouera donc aussi dans les exploitations agricoles, les magasins de stockage et les unités de transformation. Elle se mesurera au nombre de producteurs mieux rémunérés, d'entreprises capables de grandir et de produits béninois qui franchissent les frontières. Car derrière chaque ananas exporté, chaque sac de soja transformé ou chaque tonne de céréales conservée, il y a une question essentielle : quelle part de la richesse créée reste entre les mains de ceux qui travaillent la terre béninoise ? C'est à cette question que le partenariat entre le Bénin et la Chine devra, au fil des projets, apporter des réponses tangibles.

Ten years after its sudden closure, the Hungarian daily Népszabadság has been relaunched and will now be published as a weekly paper and news website. In 2016 the owner at the time, Austrian investor Heinrich Pecina, closed down what was Hungary's highest-circulation newspaper without warning and sold the publishing house to a businessman with close ties to Viktor Orbán. Four Hungarian private investors are behind the relaunch.

KATHMANDU, Oct 12 2026 (IPS)

Nearly three decades ago, in the final stretch of Nepal’s civil war, Dr Brandon Kohrt sat with parents whose sons had been conscripted as child soldiers and never returned.

Nobody could tell them what had happened, whether their sons were alive somewhere, whether they were dead, or even where to begin looking. That absence of an answer, Kohrt says, never really left those families. It is the same absence now facing thousands of households across Nepal, after catastrophic floods swept away entire communities.

On August 26, floods and landslides tore down the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli river valleys in Nepal’s Rasuwa district, killing well over a thousand people and leaving thousands more missing, one of the deadliest natural disasters in the country’s recent history.

Kohrt has spent nearly 25 years in Nepal, long enough to watch the country move through this same unresolved grief again and again, first during that war, then after a devastating earthquake, and now, once more, before a wall of missing-persons photographs at Kathmandu’s Teaching Hospital.

Only a small fraction of the recovered bodies have been identified so far. These missing men and women are not just numbers — they add up to a history that stretches back decades in Nepal to that same conflict and the earthquakes that followed it, when entire families waited years for people who never returned. Tracking these disappearances and the psychological toll they leave on families and Nepali society at large has occupied Kohrt ever since.

Kohrt is a professor of psychiatry, global health, and anthropology at George Washington University and has served since 2006 as a technical advisor to the Transcultural Psychosocial Organization Nepal.

Much of his work centres on ambiguous loss, the specific, suspended grief that comes when someone is gone but there’s no body, no confirmation, and nothing to mourn against. The term was coined in the 1970s by Pauline Boss, an American family therapist who began studying it through the wives of US soldiers missing in action in Vietnam, women who couldn’t say for certain whether they were married or widowed.

Boss found the condition wasn’t confined to one culture or one kind of disaster. Researchers have since studied it among families of the disappeared during Argentina’s military dictatorship, families of migrants lost crossing borders in Europe and Africa, and among the families with whom Kohrt sat decades ago. He has worked directly with Boss for over a decade and has applied her framework in Nepal for years before this disaster ever struck.

In the weeks since the floods struck, that gap between the dead and the missing has filled with people. Nepali families search alongside Indian, American, Ukrainian, and Malaysian families thousands of miles away, all waiting on the same uncertain word.

IPS spoke with him about what that grief looks like this time, what’s changed for him after his years of returning to the same wound, and what he’s learned, watching people find ways to keep living without an answer.

Dr Brandon Kohrt, professor of psychiatry, global health, and anthropology at George Washington University and technical advisor to the Transcultural Psychosocial Organisation, Nepal.

Excerpts from the interview follow.

IPS: For readers encountering the term for the first time, what is ambiguous loss?

Kohrt: It’s an important psychological concept, and I want to say at the outset, it is not a mental illness. It’s something anyone can go through. It’s when you still have the psychological sense of someone’s presence in your life, typically a loved one, but there is no physical evidence of either their life or their death. There’s no phone call, no video, nothing to prove they’re still living. But there’s also no body, no proof that they’re deceased.

Nearly every culture has rituals around a body that help us mourn and accept a loss. When there’s no body, we’re stuck in emotional limbo, caught between hope and despair. Some people jump right away to accept their loved one is gone, even without confirmation. Others maintain hope beyond even expectations of reality. We’re all on a different spectrum, and it’s very personal, very individualised. Ambiguous loss is also a real risk factor for what we call complicated grief, a longer, more psychologically difficult kind of mourning, with a higher risk of depression and anxiety.

With 6,145 people still missing in Nepal and only a fraction of recovered remains identified, that state of unresolved uncertainty isn’t abstract. It’s the present condition of thousands of families right now. IPS asked Kohrt how Nepal has faced this same experience before.

IPS: You’ve now worked in Nepal through the Maoist conflict, the 2015 earthquake, and this flood. What connects them?

Kohrt: I first came to Nepal in 1996, right at the start of the civil war. Toward the end of it, I worked with an organisation here, TPO Nepal, on the mental health needs of former child soldiers. Some of those parents never found out what happened to their children. Ambiguous loss was part of the psychosocial reality here even then, decades before this flood, and those families often carried an added burden – communities sometimes treated them with suspicion or blame simply for having a missing relative linked to the conflict, something families searching after this flood aren’t facing in the same way, since so many communities have been affected together.

After the 2015 earthquake, most bodies were recovered, and families were able to do funeral rites, but there are still villages, not far from where this disaster has struck now, where landslides buried people who were never found. This isn’t Nepal’s first experience with this exact kind of unresolved loss in some of these same communities.

IPS: In Nepal specifically, are there rituals that help families cope when there’s no body?

Kohrt: There’s a ritual called Kush Kriya, using grass to essentially perform a substitute funeral when there’s no body. It’s very helpful, but people need to be ready for it. Some may feel like they haven’t exhausted every possible avenue to find their loved one, and they’ll refuse to do it. There’s also a different ritual, Bakal Garne, more like a promise or a wish, maybe to a temple, maybe releasing fish into a river. That one doesn’t require accepting death. You can do a Bakal Garne hoping for your loved one’s safe return or simply hoping to find their body so you can do the cremation you need to do.

Even without an old ritual to lean on, Kohrt says, people still need something to actively do.

IPS: You mentioned people in Nepal are giving DNA samples right now, sometimes more than one, in different countries. What does that process do for a family psychologically?

Brandon Kohrt: Providing a DNA sample has a symbolic meaning that goes beyond its forensic purpose. You’re taking a piece of yourself and giving it in hopes of finding your loved one. Even if the result never confirms anything, the act itself becomes almost another form of ritual. People need to feel active and engaged, rather than passive and helpless.

That instinct, to act rather than wait, is something Kohrt has watched play out across every disaster he’s worked through in Nepal.

IPS: Does arriving at a disaster site feel different to you now than it did 25 years ago, or does something in you brace the same way each time?

Brandon Kohrt: With the earthquake, you could walk through neighbourhoods and see and touch the destruction right in front of you. But with the flood, when I arrived in Nuwakot, I could see some destroyed buildings and others submerged in mud. What you can’t see are all the buildings, bridges, vehicles, and people that were taken by the flood and washed away. This is much more a disaster of absence than a typical disaster of ruins. This will be something much more common with climate change-related disasters, where places gradually and abruptly disappear.

Professionally, the biggest difference is going from being hands-on in the response to being more of a supportive observer. Foreign expertise really isn’t needed anymore; there’s such a strong local Nepali mental health emergency response community now, from psychiatrists to community psychosocial workers.

One colleague, who I first hired at TPO Nepal twenty years ago, is now leading donor coordination and setting out a vision for what’s needed over the next three years. If foreign aid and development is successful, you should get to a point where disaster response is led locally, like we’re seeing in Nepal now.

IPS: You described the photo wall at Teaching Hospital. What does it do to you personally, standing there again?

Kohrt: It was really difficult standing in front of the wall of photos. What is so hard is thinking that behind each photo there are so many family members and friends wondering what happened to this person. Some are holding out hope; some are trying to accept the loss and move toward grief. Each face represents someone who was a sister, a mother, a daughter, a friend, a neighbour, or a coworker to all these other people. For every face we see, there are scores of people suffering.

IPS: Do you find yourself getting better at holding this kind of grief over the years, or does it stay just as hard each time?

Brandon Kohrt: I would say I am better at connecting with grief, acknowledging and sharing in others’ grief. A year after the earthquakes, I was in Nepal when one of my brothers died in the United States. I didn’t make it home in time to see his body before he went to the hospital morgue and was cremated.

I remember how hard it was grieving without having seen his body. That pales in comparison to the ambiguous loss thousands of families in Nepal are experiencing as the search for bodies continues. But it’s something that comes up for me when I talk to grieving families and hear their stories. It cracks open a window to allow the flow of empathy.

IPS: After all these years, what have you learned about how people manage to keep living when there is no answer forthcoming?

Brandon Kohrt: It’s how people move on. People have an incredible ability to carry a lot inside of them – pain, loss, unfulfilled hope, and grief – and keep moving forward in life. A lot of what people went through with the flood will be something they carry with them psychologically, but day-to-day survival requires focusing on taking care of children, caring for elderly relatives, and finding a new place to live. This shouldn’t be confused with recovery or resilience. It’s just getting by, which so many people do after a disaster. What good psychosocial and mental health support does is be available for those moments when some of that pain and grief can surface so that when people are ready, they have that support waiting for them.

ASTANA, Kazakhstan, Oct 12 2026 (IPS)

In a world increasingly divided by war, political distrust and competing ideologies, Kazakhstan has spent more than two decades pursuing an unusual diplomatic undertaking: keeping representatives of different religions in conversation.

At a meeting in Astana this week, Vice President Erlan Karin made clear that maintaining those conversations was no longer enough.

“Spiritual diplomacy can play a special role,” he told participants. “It doesn’t replace political talks. But it complements them and keeps channels of communication open where diplomatic dialogue is difficult.”

The remarks came at the 24th meeting of the Secretariat of the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, held on Oct. 7 at the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation.

The official participant list named 38 representatives of religious communities, international organizations and Kazakh government institutions, reflecting the forum’s religious and geographical diversity.

Founded in 2003 at the initiative of Kazakhstan’s first president, Nursultan Nazarbayev, the Congress initially brought 17 delegations from 13 countries to Astana.

It has since developed into an international forum that convenes major gatherings every three years while maintaining contact through its Secretariat.

Pope Francis participated in the seventh Congress in 2022, alongside the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmed Al-Tayeb. The eighth Congress, held in September 2025, brought together religious and international representatives around the Astana Peace Declaration.

For Kazakhstan, situated between Russia and China and pursuing relations across competing centers of power, the Congress has become one expression of its wider diplomatic approach: providing a meeting place for governments, religions and civilizations that do not always share political interests.

But its participants are increasingly asking how such encounters can influence events outside the conference hall.

Father Laurent Basanese of the Holy See’s Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue. He emphasized the Vatican’s longstanding commitment to the initiative and the importance of translating interfaith declarations into sustained cooperation.

A Forum That Outlasts Its Meetings

Father Laurent Basanese, representing the Holy See’s Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, reminded delegates that the Vatican had supported the initiative since its founding.

He recalled Pope Francis’ participation in 2022 and emphasized the continuing work required after declarations are adopted.

The credibility of such statements, he said, ultimately depends on the willingness of their signatories to keep working together.

That concern was echoed by Mohamed Abdelsalam, secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Elders, who warned that principles left unimplemented risk becoming little more than words on paper.

“A declaration that is not implemented loses its functionality,” he said, according to the meeting transcript.

The appeal for continuity also came from the United Nations.

Nihal Saad, director of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, thanked Kazakhstan for its sustained efforts to promote cooperation across cultural and religious boundaries.

She pointed to the role of religious leaders in addressing climate change and the ethical implications of artificial intelligence, arguing that governments and technical experts could benefit from the influence of faith communities within society.

The challenge with AI, she said, was ensuring that ethics were “built into the design of AI systems rather than as an afterthought.”

Her remarks placed the Congress within a wider international debate over how technological progress can remain accountable to human values.

Turning Principles Into Projects

Kazakhstan’s latest effort to give the forum a practical role produced two documents adopted at the meeting.

One addresses the contribution of religions to combating climate change. The other establishes 11 ethical principles for using artificial intelligence in religious contexts.

Both emerged from proposals advanced by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev at the 2025 Congress.

Gulsana Kozhabay, who heads the International Center for Interfaith and Interreligious Dialogue, explained that the climate document had been developed with contributions from 26 religious representatives, diplomats and experts.

It draws on amanat, a concept rooted in Kazakh cultural heritage that emphasizes responsibility for preserving what one generation receives and passes to the next.

The AI code, refined through an interreligious commission of 24 participants, addresses human dignity, freedom of conscience, religious information and the dangers of algorithmic manipulation.

Contributors included representatives of religious traditions extending far beyond Central Asia, among them Japanese Shinto representatives and Chinese Taoist leaders.

The meeting also considered a different kind of cooperation.

Yerzhan Ashikbayev, Kazakhstan’s first deputy foreign minister, presented a joint initiative with the Holy See: a charter protecting the rights and dignity of children with incurable diseases.

Kazakhstan and the Holy See had agreed on the charter’s text during a separate colloquium in Astana on Oct. 2–3. The Secretariat subsequently supported efforts to advance it internationally.

“When medical science reaches its limits, our human responsibility does not end,” Ashikbayev said in his prepared remarks.

The charter emphasizes palliative care, relief of suffering, parental participation and support for children and their families.

Its development, involving medical and bioethical expertise, illustrates how an interreligious relationship can extend into humanitarian cooperation.

The Next Test for Spiritual Diplomacy

None of these initiatives removes the political difficulties surrounding international cooperation.

The two ethical documents are advisory and create no legal obligations. Their influence will depend on whether religious institutions, governments and technology companies act on their recommendations.

These efforts also reflect the security challenges facing Central Asia.

As developments in Afghanistan continue to affect regional stability, Kazakhstan has worked with the United Nations to combat terrorism and prevent violent extremism.

Against this backdrop, Kazakhstan’s ability to sustain an international platform for dialogue among religious leaders of different traditions for more than two decades has become a distinctive feature of its diplomacy, linking regional security concerns with a commitment to religious diversity and mutual understanding.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Karin called for work on a proposed Global Movement for Peace, intended to strengthen cooperation among religious leaders and give spiritual diplomacy a more practical international role.

A draft concept and phased plan are to be prepared for consideration in 2027, ahead of the ninth Congress in 2028.

It remains a proposal, not an established peacebuilding mechanism.

But the assignment reflects an important shift in Kazakhstan’s approach: from demonstrating that religious leaders can meet despite their differences to asking what they are prepared to accomplish together.

After 23 years, the country has demonstrated an ability to keep the conversation going.

The next test is whether that conversation can help change the world beyond Astana.
