CIVICUS discusses US civil society action under the second Trump administration with Bridget Moix, General Secretary of the Friends Committee on National Legislation, the oldest faith-based lobbying organisation in the USA, advocating for peace, justice and environmental stewardship. Bridget has participated in the No Kings movement, a nationwide grassroots response to democratic backsliding and attacks on rights.

Since Trump’s second inauguration in January, the USA has witnessed what may be its largest ever democracy protests. Millions have taken to the streets in response to authoritarian overreach and mass deportations. The No Kings movement draws its name from the country’s founding rejection of monarchical rule, applying the principle to contemporary concerns about growing authoritarianism and the concentration of executive power in the hands of the president.

What drives the No Kings movement?

We are experiencing a rapid and devastating rise of authoritarianism. Since coming into office for his second term, Trump has embarked on a relentless campaign to undo generations of democratic institution building and international law while pursuing his own interests and the interests of billionaires. He has launched a militarised mass deportation campaign against immigrants that is ripping families apart and disappearing people from our streets. At the same time, he is dismantling core government agencies and firing hundreds of thousands of federal employees, punishing political opponents and rewarding those who are willing to serve him and his so-called ‘America First’ agenda.

Many people across the political spectrum are deeply troubled by what he’s doing and see it as a major attack on core principles of democracy, which have been at the heart of the struggle for freedom and equality since the country’s founding. The USA was founded on the rejection of rule by monarchy, a declaration against kings doing what they want at the expense of the public. The No Kings movement recalls that history and speaks out against Trump’s authoritarian actions today.

What have the protests been like, and what role is civil society playing beyond the streets?

The first protests brought about five million people in 1,500 cities and towns across the USA onto the streets to stand up for democracy. More recent protests in October brought seven million people out in 2,600 towns and cities.

What’s impressive about these protests is they bring a wide diversity of people together, across traditional social and political boundaries, who all believe our democracy is at real risk and we need to resist Trump’s authoritarianism. Even in very small towns, large groups gather, including people who have never protested before but feel they must do something now. That gives me hope.

Beyond the protests, US civil society has been very active and is learning and taking inspiration from movements elsewhere, as well as from our history of democratic struggle. Civil society groups have been quick to take legal action to sue the Trump administration for its overreach and continue to do so. They provide training every week on non-violent resistance and monitor immigration enforcement activity. Faith leaders have been speaking out and holding vigils and taking part in civil disobedience. Many groups are advocating with Congress to uphold its constitutional powers and provide a check on the Trump administration. Mutual aid groups are providing support for migrants and others at risk across the country. People are also working to build long-term resilience individually and in solidarity with others because we know this could be a long struggle.

How are immigration policies affecting communities?

Immigration raids and detentions are happening across the USA. I live in Washington DC, where Trump has deployed the national guard to further militarise our communities. The White House has given Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) free rein to terrorise people, detaining them from their homes, schools and workplaces as well as off the street, in front of their families. ICE officers drive unmarked vehicles, wear masks and do not follow due process as they should under US law.

Here in DC we’ve had at least 1,200 people detained in two months, probably many more. They are often taken without any warning and transported hundreds of miles to detention centres. Their families struggle to find out what happened to them and get legal help. Many people who are here legally have been swept up in these detentions, including US citizens. Many families are too afraid to send their children to school or leave their house. All of us know families who have been affected. The economy is also being affected.

However, the good news is that communities are standing up and working around the clock to support and protect one another, document and interrupt abuses and urge our leaders to push back against this mass cruelty campaign. Neighbourhood groups in Chicago, DC, Los Angeles and elsewhere are organising rapid response teams and sharing learning with each other to build resistance and solidarity.

How has the government responded to the protests?

The Trump administration doesn’t care about protests and just tries to ignore them or spread lies about them. We are used to that. What is important though is that we’re beginning to see more movement among members of Congress, whose constituents are protesting and advocating with them, and the protests are building the awareness and broader engagement of the public we need to push back.

Research shows that it takes 3.5 per cent of the population engaged in civil resistance to overcome authoritarian regimes. We have 330 million people in this country, and with each major protest we’re getting closer to that threshold.

What needs to happen to protect democracy?

We need to continue building an engaged and active movement of people who speak up, push back and advocate to rein in the Trump administration’s authoritarian takeover. We need to draw on the lessons from our history of struggles for freedom such as the Civil Rights movement, as well as lessons from grassroots movements around the world, as we grow non-violent civil resistance. We need more people protesting and protecting their neighbours, and we also need to turn that protest into policy action.

We need more people lobbying their members of Congress to stand up as an independent branch of government that responds to people and to do the right thing. Also critical is Congress standing up to protect its constitutional power of the purse and its authority over war. These are critical guardrails we need exercised against the militarised campaigns of the Trump administration at home and abroad.

We need to continue the legal pushback through the courts to uphold the rule of law and prevent the White House from further militarising our streets and corrupting government and elections. Solidarity across impacted communities in the USA and with civil society movements around the world will be very important to help us maintain and grow momentum here. We need to remember that our struggles for peace, justice and freedom are connected to people’s struggles all around the world.

UNITED NATIONS, Dec 1 2025 (IPS)

As we gather in Doha for the High-Level Meeting on “Forging Ambitious Global Partnerships for Sustainable and Resilient Graduation of Least Developed Countries,” the stakes could not be higher. A record number of fourteen countries-equally divided between Asia and Africa are now on graduation track. Graduation from the Least Developed Country (LDC) category is a landmark national achievement—a recognition of hard-won gains in income, human development, and resilience. Yet, for too many countries, this milestone comes with new vulnerabilities that risk undermining the very gains that enabled graduation.

Since the establishment of the LDC category in 1971, only eight countries have graduated. Today, 44 countries remain in the group, representing 14% of the world’s population, but contributing less than 1.3% to global GDP. The Doha Programme of Action (DPoA) charts an ambitious yet achievable target: enabling at least 15 additional countries to graduate by 2031. But as the DPoA underscores graduation must be sustainable, resilient and irreversible. It must serve as a springboard for transformation— not a moment of exposure to new risks.

Graduation with momentum:
Graduation often coincides with a significant shift in the international support landscape. As preferential trade arrangements, concessional financing, and dedicated technical assistance begin to phase down, countries may face heightened fiscal pressures, reduced competitiveness, and increased exposure to external shocks. Without well-sequenced and forward-looking transition planning, these shifts can slow progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and strain national systems.

Yet within these challenges also lie opportunities. With the right policies, partnerships, and incentives, graduation can catalyse deeper structural transformation, expand access to new financing windows, strengthen institutions, and unlock pathways to diversified, resilient, and inclusive growth. The task before us is to manage risks while harnessing these opportunities—ensuring that no country graduates without momentum.

Smooth Transition Strategies: A National Imperative
The DPoA calls for every graduating country to develop inclusive, nationally owned Smooth Transition Strategies (STS) well-ahead of the graduation date. These strategies must be fully integrated into national development plans and SDG frameworks, ensuring coherence and resilience. They should prioritize diversification, human capital investment, and adaptive governance, while placing women, youth, and local actors at the center of design and oversight. STS must be living documents—flexible, participatory, and backed by robust monitoring and financing.

Reinvigorated Global Partnerships: The essential Pillar
No country can navigate this transition alone. The Doha Programme of Action calls for an incentive-based international support structure that extends beyond graduation. For LDCs with high utilization of trade preferences – the withdrawal of preferential market access must be carefully sequenced to avoid abrupt disruptions. For climate-vulnerable SIDS and LLDCs, enhanced access to climate finance, debt solutions, and resilience support are key elements in their efforts to tackle post-graduation challenges.

Deepened South-South and triangular cooperation, innovative financing instruments, blended finance, and strengthened private-sector engagement will be essential to building productive capacities and unlocking opportunities in digital transformation, green and blue economies, and regional market integration.

iGRAD: A Transformative Tool
The operationalization of the Sustainable Graduation Support Facility—iGRAD—is a concrete step forward. By providing tailored advisory services, capacity-building, and peer learning, iGRAD can serve as a critical tool to help countries anticipate risks, manage transitions, and sustain development momentum. Its success, however, hinges on strong political support and adequate, predictable resourcing from development partners.

Graduation as a Catalyst for Transformation
Graduation should not be the end of the story—it should be the beginning of a new chapter of resilience and opportunity. With integrated national strategies and reinvigorated global partnerships, we can turn graduation into a catalyst for inclusive, sustainable development. Let us seize this moment in Doha to reaffirm our collective commitment: no country should graduate into vulnerability. Together, we can ensure that graduation delivers on its promise—for communities, for economies, and for future generations.

A series of recent economic and geopolitical shocks have led to rising fragmentation of global trade, whereby countries tend to boost economic ties with those sharing similar political values, economic policies and security interests. While a broad retreat from globalisation is not taking place, there are some signs of reconfiguration of supply chains along geopolitical lines.

This is likely to have pronounced effects for EU economy due to its openness and high level of integration into global value chains. The full consequences are unclear at this point and firms’ responses vary, but mitigating the changing trade environment leads to heightened costs, stronger regional flows of goods and priority for measures that could reduce uncertainty.

The EU’s policy focus is on de-risking supply chains, boosting their resilience and creating opportunities through access to global markets. Increasing domestic production and access to inputs as well as diversifying supplies is coupled with supporting multilateralism and targeted partnerships. Many experts, as well as the European Parliament, see the unrealised potential of the single market, easier access to finance, stimulating innovation and digitalisation, as ways forward.

Managing global trade fragmentation is a complex process full of risks and opportunities, which requires crosscutting policy action and a strategic approach. The EU is striving to find a balance between trade openness and the necessary economic security measures. Furthermore, while proposed and launched solutions require a medium to long-term time horizon to deliver, geopolitical developments often happen swiftly, further complicating matters.

Dans quelles mesures les écosystèmes d'innovation entrepreneuriaux peuvent-ils accélérer l'émergence de systèmes alimentaires durables ? C'est autour de cette problématique que s'est articulé le séminaire organisé par le projet « Accélérer les dynamiques d'innovation dans l'agriculture par le renforcement des Services Support à l'innovation » (AcceSS), tenu du 19 au 21 novembre à l'Université Thomas SANKARA à Saaba. L'objectif principal de cette rencontre était de renforcer les capacités des acteurs à concevoir, développer et soutenir des écosystèmes d'innovation entrepreneuriaux capables de favoriser l'émergence de systèmes alimentaires durables.

Ce séminaire a réuni 103 participants aux profils variés. La majorité était composée de mastérants et doctorants d'universités publiques et privées, mais également d'entrepreneurs, de fournisseurs de services support ainsi que de chercheurs nationaux et internationaux, présents à la fois en présentiel et en ligne. Pendant trois jours, les participants ont échangé autour des composantes, des dynamiques et des interactions caractéristiques des écosystèmes d'innovation entrepreneuriaux en Afrique subsaharienne, et plus particulièrement au Burkina Faso. Les travaux se sont déroulés sous forme de conférences, de communications, de panels ainsi que de travaux de groupe. Ce fut également un cadre privilégié de partage d'expériences mettant en lumière des modèles de réussite issus du Burkina Faso mais aussi d'autres pays tels que le Sénégal, le Maroc, Madagascar et l'Ouganda.

Présent pour donner le top de départ des travaux, aux côtés du Directeur du CEDRES et du Vice-président chargé de la Recherche et de la Coopération Internationale de l'Université Thomas Sankara représentant le Président de l'institution, le Délégué Général du Centre National pour la Recherche Scientifique et Technique (CNRST), Dr. Emmanuel Nanema, a encouragé les participants à faire de ce séminaire « un espace de réflexion, de partage et de construction collective ».

Selon lui, la créativité, les compétences et l'engagement de tous les acteurs sont indispensables pour inventer les solutions de demain. S'adressant particulièrement aux étudiants, il les a invités à saisir cette activité comme une opportunité d'apprentissage, de débat, de formulation de recommandations et de projections en tant qu'acteurs du changement. Il a également exprimé sa gratitude au consortium AcceSS ainsi qu'à l'Union européenne, pour leur accompagnement financier et leur engagement en faveur de l'innovation dans les systèmes alimentaires durables.

Au terme de trois jours de travaux intenses et riches en échanges, le séminaire consacré aux écosystèmes d'innovation entrepreneuriaux et à leurs rôles dans la transformation durable des systèmes alimentaires au Burkina Faso a permis de consolider un véritable cadre de réflexion collective, de partage d'expériences et de co-construction de solutions adaptées aux réalités nationales.

L'activité a renforcé les connaissances des participants, en particulier des étudiants sur les dynamiques d'innovation et les mécanismes qui sous-tendent les écosystèmes entrepreneuriaux. Elle a également suscité chez eux un intérêt renouvelé pour la recherche innovante, encourageant l'orientation vers des thématiques de recherche en lien avec l'innovation agricole et la durabilité des systèmes alimentaires.

Editorial de Bernard Lugan
Opéré à la demande des autorités maliennes, le départ des forces françaises a ouvert la voie au GSIM (Groupe de soutien à l’islam et aux musulmans). Affilié à Al-Qaida, le GSIM est en réalité autonome de la centrale dirigeant cette nébuleuse terroriste. Même s’il se réclame de l’islam rigoriste, sa prise de contrôle  par le chef Touareg Iyad agh Ghali a fait du GSIM un mouvement d’abord ethno-islamiste avant d’être jihadiste. Cependant, compte tenu de la situation sur le terrain, la question qui se pose est de savoir si Iyad agh Ghali est aux portes du pouvoir au Mali. A ce sujet, certains médias ont annoncé la chute prochaine de Bamako. Une annonce qui semble prématurée pour deux grandes raisons :
1) La première est clairement ethnique. Apparaissant comme le bras armé des Touareg, le JNIM ne peut en effet que susciter le rejet de la part des sudistes, notamment des Bambara. Voilà pourquoi, depuis quelques semaines, le GSIM  tente de se présenter comme un mouvement islamo-nationaliste pluriethnique. Compte tenu des mémoires collectives, l’entreprise parait complexe…
2) Avec des effectifs variants, selon les sources, entre 5000 et 10 000 hommes, le GSIM n’est semble-t-il pas en mesure de lancer un assaut direct sur la capitale malienne. Pour mémoire, au mois de juin 2025, après avoir échoué devant Tombouctou, le 1er juillet, à Kayes, le GSIM a subi un grave échec en laissant des dizaines de morts sur le terrain. Même en difficulté, les 40_000 hommes des Forces armées maliennes (FAMa) conservent en effet une supériorité numérique et matérielle tout en bénéficiant théoriquement de l’appui-feu du contingent russe. A ce propos, comme depuis plusieurs semaines, les Russes d’Africa Corps sont curieusement  absents du champ de bataille, la question qui se pose est de savoir si Moscou n’aurait pas déjà acté la fin de l’actuel régime malien. L’avenir nous en dira plus.
Si Bamako est son objectif, la meilleure stratégie pour le GSIM serait de laisser la ville s’effondrer de l’intérieur, soit par des manifestations, soit par un blocus alimentaire et en carburant, soit par le chaos ou, d’abord, par un changement de régime. L’éclatement au grand jour de la rivalité au sein de l’armée entre Assimi Goïta et Sadio Camara, le ministre de la Défense, pourrait en effet être le signe annonciateur d’une révolution de Palais.
Une telle évolution pourrait débloquer la situation politique en ouvrant la voie à des négociations qui pourraient déboucher sur une coalition associant une fraction de la junte, une partie de la société civile et certains éléments « jihadistes ». Une solution pour gagner du temps mais qui sauverait la face de tous les protagonistes, et qui pourrait permettre à la Russie de ne pas perdre les positions acquises après l’éviction ou l’auto-éviction de la France.
