Dans God Will Not Help, Hana Jušić signe une chronique patiente et acérée du début du XXᵉ siècle, entre film d'époque et allégorie de la condition féminine. L'arrivée d'une veuve venue du Chili dans une communauté montagnarde croate bouscule un univers clos, régulé par les traditions, la foi et le patriarcat. La cinéaste explore les liens entre exil, superstition, sororité et paysages, tout en évitant les stéréotypes sur les Balkans.

Emmanuel Macron aura donc coché toutes les cases de son bréviaire de la repentance. Il ne lui manquait que le Cameroun, mais voilà qui vient d’être fait… Dans un courrier daté du 30 juillet au président camerounais Paul Biya et rendu public mardi 12 août 2025, le président de la repentance a ainsi officiellement reconnu que la France avait mené « une guerre » au Cameroun, avant et après l’indépendance de 1960, marquée par des « violences répressives ».

ZENICA, 12 August 2025 - Zahid Movlazada, Deputy Head of the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina, visited Zenica for meetings with local authorities, religious community representatives, and civil society actors. The visit reaffirms the Mission’s commitment to promote inter-religious dialogue, environmental protection, gender equality, and transparent, accountable governance.

In a meeting with representatives of the Interreligious Chapter Zenica, Movlazada highlighted the Mission’s long-standing support for peace, mutual understanding, respect, and co-operation among religious communities across the country, particularly through the important work of the BiH Interreligious Council.

He also met with Samir Lemeš, President of Steering Board of the Eko Forum Zenica and the Aarhus Centre, where he recognized the important role of local environmental activists and civil society organizations in preserving natural resources and promoting sustainable development.

A meeting with Zenica-Doboj Canton Prime Minister Nezir Pivić focused on the Canton’s efforts to prevent gender-based violence and strengthen anti-corruption measures, important steps toward building a more just, more accountable and a more resilient society.

Finally, during his meeting with Zenica Mayor Fuad Kasumović, the Deputy Head praised the municipality’s support for inter-religious dialogue and gender mainstreaming at the community level.

“Supporting dialogue, transparency, equality, and environmental protection are not separate goals, they are interconnected pillars of a stable, democratic society that serves all citizens of the country,” said Zahid Movlazada. “We commend and will continue to support the efforts of local partners in Zenica who are actively working to advance these values.”

The OSCE Mission to BiH remains committed to promote inclusive and constructive dialogue, protect fundamental rights, and strengthen democratic institutions.

We use new data on political connections from the World Bank Enterprise Surveys to examine the impact of connections on firms' participation in international trade through global value chains (GVCs) for six lower middle income MENA countries and territories (Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, the West Bank and Gaza, Jordan, and Lebanon). Our findings add to the literature on “hidden protection” and corruption in the region: trade- and investment policies and regulations are tailored to benefit or protect politically connected firms. Our findings suggest that politically connected firms are more likely to participate in GVCs by 9.8 percentage points and that the intensity of their participation in GVCs increases by 4.1 percentage points. Combining political connections and grand corruption increases firms' participation in GVCs by 13.6 percentage points.

Territorial Use Rights for Fisheries (TURFs) are a rights-based management strategy that grants area-based fishing rights to specific community groups. In Ecuador, following immense mangrove deforestation caused by industrial shrimp farming, TURFs have been implemented through Mangrove Sustainable Use and Custody Agreements (AUSCEMs, for its Spanish acronym), driven by grassroots demands to conserve remaining mangroves and recognize ancestral territorial rights. This article examines the power-laden dynamics of these agreements in the Gulf of Guayaquil, Ecuador through ethnographic research in two fishing communities. We analyze historical and ongoing conflicts and reveal how multi-scalar power—across visible, hidden, and invisible forms—shapes access to and control over mangrove resources, often reinforcing inequalities and epistemic injustices. Our findings highlight how funding inequities, limited tenure security, and rising threats from organized crime compromise community-led conservation. For this management approach to succeed, it is essential to close funding gaps for stewardship and innovation, address security and service disparities, recognize local ecological knowledge, and fully honor ancestral territorial rights to promote equitable, sustainable governance.
