Migrationsrouten im Fokus

SWP - Fri, 17/07/2026 - 11:00

Routenbasierte Ansätze versprechen eine Neuausrichtung internationaler Flucht- und Migrationspolitik: Statt einzelne Länderkontexte isoliert zu betrachten, lenken sie den Blick auf das Gesamtgeschehen entlang zentraler Migrationskorridore. Der analytische Mehrwert dieses Perspektivwechsels liegt angesichts der komplexen und transnationalen Natur von Mobilitätsdynamiken auf der Hand. Die wachsende Popu­larität routenbasierter Ansätze ist jedoch auch politisch begründet: Sie sind für Akteure unterschiedlicher politischer Lager diskursiv anschlussfähig, können Syn­ergieeffekte in der operativen Arbeit ermöglichen und die Allokation knapper Res­sourcen erleichtern. Zugleich steht das Konzept exemplarisch für ein grundlegendes Spannungsfeld internationaler Migrationspolitik: Routenbasierte Ansätze können den Schutz entlang von Migrationskorridoren verbessern, aber auch die Auslagerung von Migrationskontrolle in Herkunfts- und Transitländer legitimieren. Ob sie einen Paradigmenwechsel markieren oder bekannte Steuerungslogiken lediglich neu rahmen, entscheidet sich an ihrer praktischen Ausgestaltung.

Mali : Anéfis, un Na San malien ?

L'Afrique réelle (Blog de Bernard Lugan) - Fri, 17/07/2026 - 10:02
En 1952, à Na San, le général Salan avait saigné les forces du Vietminh en les attirant dans une bataille frontale. Au Mali, n’ayant réalisé jusque-là que de piètres prestations militaires, les Russes viennent de porter un coup majeur à la coalition touareg en lui tendant le piège d’Anéfis dans lequel elle est tombée.

Après cinq jours de combats, le 9 juillet, l’offensive touareg contre le camp d’Anefis, verrou du nord-Mali était un échec sanglant pour les Touareg écrasés sous la puissance de feu du contingent russe. Or, à la différence des Peul qui combattent dans la partie sud du Sahel, les Touareg maliens n’ont pas de réserves démographiques
et ils n’ont pas réussi à rallier à leur cause leurs frères du Niger et d’Algérie. De plus, leurs « petits cousins » Imghad et Daoussak les combattent… Leur « réservoir » de combattants vient donc d’être sérieusement  entamé.

Conséquence immédiate, la diplomatie russe a imposé la reprise des contacts à l’Algérie et au Mali, ses deux alliés en guerre. Dès le 10 juillet, l’Algérie et le Mali annoncèrent ainsi le retour de leurs ambassadeurs et la réouverture de leurs espaces aériens aux vols civils et militaires. Le piège d’Anéfis rebattait les cartes et l’histoire montrait, une fois de plus, qu’il ne faut jamais vendre trop tôt la peau de l’ours russe…

Le numéro du mois d’août 2026 que les abonnés recevront le 1° août  contiendra une analyse en profondeur de cette bataille et de ses très importantes conséquences régionalesPour  replacer ces évènements dans leur contexte historique on lira mes deux livres :
- Les guerres du Sahel des origines à nos jours
- Histoiredu Sahel des origines à nos jours

Ya'll are missing it with the DoD test for low T

Snafu-solomon.blogspot - Fri, 17/07/2026 - 09:56

 Jesus the news media can make a joke out of everything and this is one that isn't.

Low T is damn near dangerous for men and unfortunately due to our food I think, its affecting more and more men everyday.

Especially young men.

Did you know that men today in their 30 and 40s have the T levels that their great grandfathers had in their 60s?

While I believe its the food it can include other factors such as exercise, touching grass everyday, not drowning in social media, etc...the effects of low T are a serious performance problem.

In the military everyone is talking about being a "HYBRID ATHLETE" but no one is actually working toward making that a real thing...until now.

People can laugh about making DoD a high T place but that's the wrong take.  

The proper take is to make the force healthy as possible.

Open Comment Post. 17 July 26. How are we doing in the Iran war???

Snafu-solomon.blogspot - Fri, 17/07/2026 - 09:36

 


I know ya'll are wondering why a question with the OCP but not many are talking about it.

How do ya'll think we're doing with the Iran war?  It's almost background news which I find fascinating.  

I think the psyops boys have worn us down.  We're at freaking war and hardly no one is paying attention TO INCLUDE guys like us that keep up with all things military.

This is damn near dangerous.

Think about it.

If it wasn't for the gas shock now (and the coming food price shock) we absolutely positively wouldn't give a damn.

Wanna know something even more worrisome?

When we get to the point of have mostly robotic forces that interest will drop even more (and all thing point to that coming sooner rather than later...every one is going ga-ga over Ukraine "pioneering" the use of robotic forces but they have no choice, they have no one else to feed into the meat grinder).

To me this sucks.

My United States of America has become a nation of continuous warfare and we've gotten to a point where being at war on a damn near daily basis no longer bothers us.
