Két tárgyalási forduló után jottányit sem közeledett egymáshoz az Európai Parlament és a Tanács álláspontja a Juncker-terv középpontjában álló európai stratégiai befektetési alap (EFSI) fő szabályairól. A képviselők a 2014 és 2020 közötti többéves keretköltségvetésről kötött alku felrúgásával vádolják a tagállamokat.

Parliament President Martin Schulz and the EU’s foreign chief Federica Mogherini opened the EU Pavilion at the World Expo in Milan. To mark Europe Day on 9 May, they also exchanged views on the EU with more than 1,000 citizens, during which Schulz made the case for an active Europe: “The world needs an active and engaging Europe.”

Auch beim heutigen Treffen der Eurogruppe scheint es keine Lösung in Sachen Griechenland zu geben. Gleichzeitig geht Athen das Geld aus. Das Land…

Infrastructure has quite suddenly become the new mantra of governments around the world. Europeans and Americans are waking to the modernisation of their crumbling roads, sewerage and water systems as ways of reviving flagging economies, but in Asia infrastructure is the key to a new era of progress and prosperity.

For vibrant as Asia undoubtedly is, it still has leaden feet. It’s not hard to understand the region’s preoccupation with infrastructural development when stuck in, say, Jakarta’s or Manila’s endlessly gridlocked traffic jams. Outside the cities, rural life in much of Asia contends with road and rail communications so poor that economic development risks being seriously handicapped for many years to come.

The contrast between backward Asia and the go-getting image of ‘Asia Rising’ is stark, and the implications are inescapable. Unless Asia’s teeming mega-cities and largely undeveloped rural communities can resolve their transport and mobility problems, they are liable to start slipping backwards in terms of global economic competitiveness.

The politics of infrastructural investment are a hot topic in Asia. From India to China, and including all the smaller nations in between, the region’s transport and information-related needs by 2020 have been estimated at a gigantic $8 trillion by the Asian Development Bank. How to mobilise such an amount, and where and how to spend it were that sort of money to be available, are burning questions.

That’s why so much attention is being focused on the Beijing-backed project of an Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), and also on a parallel project that has received no attention at all in most parts of the world, but is potentially a highly significant geopolitical game-changer. Plans are afoot to set up an Islamic Infrastructure Investment Bank (IIIB), probably to be headquartered in Jakarta as capital of the world’s largest Muslim nation.

High hopes are now pinned on both. The aim of the AIIB is to mobilise much more investment capital than the World Bank and its development arm, the International Finance Corporation, have so far contributed in Asia. Its supporters and propagandists say that in only a few years its capitalisation should double from $500 billion to $1 trillion.

The birth of the AIIB, no one should be in any doubt, reflects China’s undisguised impatience with Western-dominated global institutions, rules and standards that many developing countries see as skewed to favour America and Europe. The origins of the IIIB are very different, yet perhaps equally capable of catalysing change in the international banking system.

The IIIB is to be an off-shoot of the Islamic Development Bank that has been based in Jeddah for the last 40 years, and whose chief shareholders along with its Saudi Arabian hosts are Nigeria, Iran and Libya, with Malaysia and Indonesia holding smaller stakes. Although the IIIB will start with a capital base of only $1 billion, an important element of the project will be to further develop Sharia banking that adheres to Islamic principles on lending, and then harness that growing sector of financial services to Asia’s hunger for infrastructure. Once the IIIB is up and running in Jakarta, it will evidently operate in tandem with financial institutions in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, where Sharia-compliant bank assets stand at $170 billion against Jakarta’s $21 billion.

The uncertainties and unanswered questions surrounding both these proposed multilateral lending bodies are legion. To begin with, who will call the shots on the AIIB’s structure and development? China is clearly in the lead, but with almost 60 countries around the world now signed up as founding members, can Beijing claim ownership and retain sweeping executive powers? Unsurprisingly, China refused Taiwan’s candidacy, but that doesn’t mean its own role will forever go unchallenged.

And where will the AIIB be based? Hong Kong seems out of the running because the democracy protests there have irritated Beijing. Singapore is actively lobbying to play host, and its sophisticated banking industry is an undeniable lure. Even more important than location is the wider issue of lending criteria. Both the AIIB and the IIIB will have to deal with extremely sensitive political choices about priorities in the financing queue. This is already apparent at the embryonic Shanghai-based New Development Bank – better known as the BRICS bank. Launched two years ago in New Delhi by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, it is already grappling with its founders’ very different development needs.

Asian nations, too, are disparate. The ten countries in the almost 50-year-old Association of South-East Asian Nations – Asean – range from tiny, rich Singapore to sprawling Indonesia. Its fast-growing population of 250m may eventually even challenge China economically, but first, like so much of Asia, it must tackle daunting infrastructural weaknesses.

Analyse de Bernard Lugan
L'on se bat à nouveau dans le nord du Mali. Pas contre les islamistes cette fois, mais entre Touareg, dans un conflit se nourrissant d'une rivalité séculaire entre les "nobles" Iforas composant le noyau dur du MNLA (Mouvement national de libération de l'Azawad) et leurs anciens tributaires Imghad du GATIA ( Groupe d'auto défense touareg Imghad et alliés) dirigés par le colonel Ag Gamou. Les premiers sont partisans d'un confédéralisme alors que les seconds obéissent au régime de Bamako qui les utilise afin d'affaiblir le MNLA; avec, semble t-il,  le soutien de la Minusma (Mission des Nations Unies au Mali). Résultat: la signature des accords de paix prévue le 15 mai à Bamako est compromise.
Explication et point de la situation.

Afghanistan

19 kidnapped Hazara passengers released

Nineteen passengers who were kidnapped by militants from a bus in February in southern Afghanistan were released on Monday (BBC, Pajhwok, AP). The passengers on the bus — all from the minority Hazara community — were abducted while traveling home from working in Iran. Assadullah Kakar, who was one of the negotiators working to secure the release of the passengers, told BBC that the 19 passengers were released in exchange for 22 children of the families of insurgents from Uzbekistan who were being held in government prisons. However, Pajhwok Afghan News reported that the passengers were exchanged for 28 Taliban prisoners who were in government custody. It is unclear what militant group kidnapped the group of passengers; some reports say the Taliban is responsible while others suggest the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan is to blame.

Taliban attack second bus in a week

A suicide bomber attacked a bus carrying Afghan government employees in Kabul on Sunday, killing three people (Reuters). The attack was the second in just a week in the same area of the capital. The bus was carrying mostly employees from the attorney general’s office who were returning home from work. Taliban insurgents claimed responsibility for the attack. Last Monday, another suicide bomber targeted a bus in the same area, killing one person and wounding 15 others.

Pakistan

Author says Pakistan knew about bin Laden raid

In a story published in the London Review of Books on Sunday, Seymour Hersh wrote that Pakistan not only knew about the U.S. raid on bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, but that they led the United States to him in the first place (LRB). Hersh contends that the idea that the Pakistan Army and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) were not told about the raid in advance is false and that “the White House’s story might have been written by Lewis Carroll.” Hersh asserts that a former senior Pakistani intelligence officer approached the CIA’s station chief at the U.S. embassy in Islamabad in 2010 and offered to lead them to bin Laden, starting an investigation and eventual cooperation with Pakistan’s Army and the ISI (Dawn).

The White House position remains that the Pakistani Army and ISI were never informed of the U.S. mission. Others also dispute the evidence Hersh uses to support his claim. Bonus Read: “Was the bin Laden killing story a lie?” Peter Bergen (CNN).

PM, Army Chief to visit Kabul

Prime Minister Nawaz Shairf and Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif, along with a high-level delegation, will visit Afghanistan on Tuesday (ET, Dawn). The Express Tribune reports that three major issues will be discussed during the visit: negotiations with the Afghan Taliban, the allegations of India’s spy agency presence in Afghanistan, and Pakistani military operation Zarb-e-Azb against the Pakistani Taliban and other militant groups. The trip tomorrow will be Sharif’s second visit to Afghanistan and the first after the installation of the National Unity Government in Kabul.

India

Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister acquitted in corruption case

Jayalalithaa Jayaram, the former chief minister of the state of Tamil Nadu and a former movie star, was cleared of all charges by the Karnataka High Court in a 19-year old corruption case. Jayalalithaa had been convicted and jailed last year for holding 530 million rupees ($8.7 million) in unaccounted cash and other assets, but she appealed, and the verdict has been overturned (The Times of India, The Hindu, NDTV). Current Chief Minister O Panneerselvam, who had been hand-picked by Jayalalithaa to succeed her after her conviction, is expected to resign, paving the way for Jayalalithaa to return to her post as early as May 17. Jayalalithaa is also expected to resume leadership of the AIADMK party, which holds the third largest number of seats in the lower house of India’s parliament (Reuters). Subramanian Swamy, one of the petitioners in the case and a leader of the rival BJP, expressed surprise and announced his plans to appeal the decision.

Government seeks to protect rights of adopted daughters

The Indian government has proposed a change to the British-era Registration Act of 1908 that would protect the right to inherit property for adopted daughters. While a 2005 amendment changed the interpretation of the law to include daughters, the proposed change would make that inclusion explicit. “Since 2005, daughters have equal rights over property. This could make sure than an adopted girl is not left out as an heir. It is an important step to bring into practice the amended law of 2005,” said Ram Singh, an associate professor at the Delhi School of Economics (The Economic Times, The Times of India).

India’s lion population on the rise

India’s lion population has increased by 27 percent since 2010, according to the 2015 lion census conducted by the Gir Forest National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary (BBC). The number of lions has gone up from 411 in 2010 to 523 in 2015, according to the census, which was conducted by 2,500 officials and volunteers. In an encouraging sign, the number of lion cubs has been increasing as well as the overall population (The Indian Express). Gir Forest in the state of Gujarat is the only home to wild Asiatic lions.
