On the front page: the Congolese Catholic Church in the front line


Three days after the violence on December 31 in Kinshasa and other cities in the DRC, Cardinal Monsengwo, head of the Catholic Church in the country, raised the tone yesterday.

"We can only denounce, condemn and stigmatize the actions of our so-called valiant men in uniforms, which sadly and barbarously translate," said the cardinal, before continuing: "How will we trust people? leaders unable to protect the population, to guarantee peace, justice, the love of the people. It is time that the truth prevails over the systemic lie, that the mediocre emerge and that reign peace, the justice in DRC ".

News reported by Cas-Info, one of the few Congolese news sites available on the internet. Cas-Info which underlines that Bishop Monsengwo is "the most listened voice of the country since the disappearance of the opponent Étienne Tshisekedi. "

Asked by Le Monde Africa, the historian Isidore Ndaywel, member of the Coordination Committee, organizer of the event last Sunday, is convinced: "This is just a start, he says, because we do not will not let it go. The people understood that they had to take their destiny into their own hands, not just speeches. There was an awareness. The mobilization of Catholics, notes Le Monde Afrique, recalls the "Christian march" of 16 February 1992, which called for the democratization of Zaire. "The regime of President Mobutu then repressed it in blood. "

The main church against-power ...

Ledjely in Guinea welcomes the involvement of the Catholic Church.

"Nature being horrified by the void, it was expected that another counter-power would emerge in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to supplant the inefficiency if not the resignation of the opposition. However, it was far from thinking that this new hope would come from the religious institution, very fond of its classic neutrality. Although in this country, the prelates are accustomed not to oppose indifference to the suffering of the population. Even if, after the flop of the New Year's Eve agreement they had wrested from the forceps, Monseigneur Monsengwo and the others, rather scared of being instrumentalised by Joseph Kabila and his family, were suspicious in recent months. But with the repression of which the faithful were the object last Sunday and the desecration of some places of worship by the forces of the order, the Church leaves of its reserve. And with it, concludes Ledjely, there is renewed hope against the monster that is Congolese power. "

Joint survey?

For their part, the authorities of Kinshasa are trying to play appeasement. Thus, reports the Congolese News website.CD, "Marie-Ange Mushobekwa, Minister of Human Rights, who yesterday exchanged behind closed doors with human rights NGOs, says he is ready to investigate with his collaborators on the violence of 31 December. "

One of those who met the minister yesterday, continues Actualité.CD, "Georges Kapiamba, president of the Congolese Association for Access to Justice, said he holds evidence of human rights violations committed by the security forces during the march organized by the Lay Committee on Coordination of the Catholic Church. "We are willing to investigate, he says, with the Ministry of Human Rights, and we told the minister that the investigation should be independent," said George Kapiamba. "

And the army?

In any case, for a large part of the West African press, President Kabila now has his back to the wall ... This is what affirms The Country in Burkina Faso, usual slayer of the Congolese president: "What is going to happen? it will happen now that Joseph Kabila was able to achieve unanimity against him, out of his torpor calculated the Catholic Church ?, questions the daily ouagalais (...) Will he find an exit window facing a people who are tired of being the scapegoat of defense forces in the pay of a power-hungry president? The big equation, in this chaotic socio-political climate, remains the army, says Le Pays, which continues to support a regime that no longer has any respect for human life. (...) Now is the time, urges the Burkinabe daily, that the military take their responsibility to protect the sheep against the impostor wolf. "

Arctic oil: NGOs lose emblematic lawsuit against Norway

Pétrole de l'Arctique: les ONG perdent un procès emblématique contre la Norvège 

The Norwegian court dismissed Thursday Greenpeace and two other NGOs opposed to Norway's granting of oil licenses in the Arctic, an emblematic case showing that the fight against global warming is being played out more and more in the courtrooms.


In a judgment still subject to appeal, the Oslo court ruled that the Norwegian state did not violate the Constitution by granting in May 2016 concessions in the Barents Sea to 13 oil companies, among them the national champion Statoil, the Americans Chevron and ConocoPhillips, and the Russian Lukoil.

In conjunction with the Nature and Youth and Grandparents for Climate Campaigns, Greenpeace has assigned Norway for the first time by invoking a recent constitutional provision that guarantees the right of all to a healthy environment.

The plaintiffs also argued that new oil activities in the fragile Arctic would defeat the Oslo Accord of 2016, which aims to limit global warming to less than 2 ° C. climate.

While recognizing that paragraph 112 of the Constitution provided new rights to the individual, the Oslo court concluded that this did not apply to the granting of oil licenses.

In particular, the judge ruled that Norway, the largest producer of oil and natural gas in Western Europe, could not be held responsible for the carbon dioxide emissions generated by its hydrocarbon exports to other countries.

The plaintiffs will also have to pay 580,000 crowns (more than 59,000 euros) of court costs of the state.

"We are pleased that the court has given a clear content to the paragraph on the environment (...) that can be used to halt harmful political decisions," said Greenpeace Norway leader Truls Gulowsen.

"At the same time, we are very disappointed that it has created a legal vacuum by claiming that emissions from Norwegian oil abroad are not covered by this provision of the Constitution," he said. AFP.

The oil industry satisfied
An NGO victory would have had serious economic repercussions for the kingdom, which owes its wealth to oil. This allowed him to raise a sovereign fund of over $ 1 trillion, the largest in the world.

In the face of the decline in oil production, halved since 2000, Norway now has the Far North: according to official estimates, the Barents Sea holds about 65% of the remaining resources to be discovered off the coast of the country.

At the trial in November, the State - 67% shareholder of Statoil - said that the granting of exploration licenses had been in accordance with the law. His lawyer, Attorney General Fredrik Sejersted, also denounced a "show" of NGOs.

"The oil policy of Norway is the business of Parliament, not the judicial system," said Thursday Tommy Hansen, spokesman for the organization representing the oil sector.

"And this is a unanimous Parliament, less a vote that has adopted the 23rd cycle of oil concessions, so it has a solid political and democratic majority," he told AFP.

The horizon of the oil industry in the Norwegian Far North is not clear: the last prospecting campaigns have been disappointing and the exploitation costs of any discoveries are expected to be high, which has diverted several majors of the region.

The case illustrates in any case the growing judiciarisation of the fight against global warming.

The London-based Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change has indexed more than 260 climate-related cases in 25 jurisdictions, most of them for less than a decade. This figure excludes the United States, where the number of disputes of this kind is greater than 700.

Judicial battles sometimes successful.

The Netherlands was condemned in 2015 to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2020, a decision that was appealed.

In November, the German court also agreed to consider the request of a Peruvian peasant who wants to force the energy giant RWE to repair the effects of climate change in the Andes.

Moldova: President Igor Dodon suspended from office

Moldova is a former Soviet republic that lies on the geopolitical divide between Europe and Russia. This is why it is often the scene of political crises. Like the one that just burst after the Constitutional Court decided to suspend the president, Igor Dodon, who is an assumed Prorusse.
Régis Genté, you are one of our correspondents in the former USSR. Why this crisis?

This is in fact yet another showdown between the pro-Russian and pro-Western fringes of the country. Knowing that opinion is divided into two relatively equal parts, between pro-Europeans and pro-Europeans. It turns out that Igor Dodon, very Prorusse, and who was elected president in 2016, opposes the appointment of seven ministers proposed by the Prime Minister Pavel Filip, a pro-European that one.
The head of state, which has little power in the Moldovan parliamentary regime, can indeed oppose these appointments, but only once. But as he does not want to give in, the Constitutional Court ruled Tuesday, January 2, to suspend its powers ... temporarily, the time to appoint ministers.

Is it just an opposition between pro-Russian and pro-Europeans?

Basically, yes. Even though there is another dimension behind it. Mr. Dodon invokes, in a very unsupported way, the fact that some of these prospective ministers are involved in a huge banking scandal dating back to 2012-2014, a billion-dollar money laundering case from Russia, a dimension that the Prorusse Dodon tends to erase. But basically, in the internal political game of this country of 3 million and a half inhabitants, Mr. Dodon attacks the omnipotence of Vladimir Plahotniuc, an oligarch who really controls the country.
Be it the government, the judiciary or the Central Bank. And the prime minister is his man.

Who is Mr. Dodon, then?

It is the boss of a socialist party, which has the name at least, and has discovered a propensity Prorussian quite recently, after having been the supporter or even the actor of rapprochement with Europe. Today, he acts as a pawn of Russia. For example, it has recently signed, on its own, a memorandum of cooperation with the Eurasian Economic Union, the great geopolitical project of Mr Putin. It also displays conservatism and proximity to the Orthodox Church, such as the Kremlin.

Putin calls St. Petersburg explosion a "terrorist act"

Poutine qualifie d' 

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday called a "terrorist act" the explosion of a home-made bomb that left 13 people injured in a supermarket in St. Petersburg, in a context of concern over the return of jihadists who have gone to fight in Syria .


While asserting no track, investigators have opened an investigation for "attempted homicide" after the explosion occurred Wednesday night, four days of New Year's Eve, in the second city of Russia already struck in April by a murderous attack.

"Yesterday, a terrorist act was committed in St. Petersburg," said Putin, during a speech in the Kremlin at the beginning of a ceremony of decorations to Russian servicemen who participated in the Russian operation in Syria.

The Russian president announced that he ordered the country's security services (FSB) to "liquidate the bandits on the spot" at the time of their arrest in Russia, "in case of threat to life or health" forces of the order.

"These are the ones who are preparing to carry out attacks in our country," his spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

In a statement issued Wednesday night, the National Counter-Terrorism Committee (NAK) said the homemade bomb, with a power equivalent to 200 grams of TNT, had exploded in a locker of the supermarket's locker room. former Soviet cinema. He released images of the store entrance with the partially collapsed ceiling near the crates, surrounded by debris.

Defense: 700 million euros of funds released for the army









La ministre de la Défense, Florence Parly, le 25 septembre 2017 à Paris.

Defense Minister Florence Parly announced on Twitter this budget thaw. In July, the suppression of credits had caused the resignation of General De Villiers.
 
This is a notable success for Florence Parly. The Ministry of Defense has secured the release of 700 million euros in Defense Budget 2017 appropriations that had been frozen and could not be spent. In a tweet published Wednesday, the minister writes: "Thaw 700 million euros: I was engaged, I got it.The army budget confirms its rise in power.

This $ 700 million, which was part of the 2017 budget, was frozen in July and was subject to arbitration. It was therefore made in favor of the Ministry of Defense.


On December 13, Florence Parly had confided her optimism on the release of funds: "I think I can say that the hypothesis of a favorable arbitration remains open and you can count on my determination to continue to convince of the need to obtain a thaw of credits up to 700 million euros ".

A budget of 34.2 billion in 2018
The defense budget is projected at 34.2 billion euros for 2018, up 1.8 billion euros compared to 2017, what the minister had described as "historic rise, never seen for 20 years" .


The Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defense and Armed Forces welcomed this thaw. "The tenacity of the minister has paid off: the Foreign Affairs, Defense and Armed Forces Committee is delighted with this good news and the armies will finally be able to have the means to fulfill their mission," the President said in a statement. of the committee, Christian Cambon (LR).

The budget allocated to the Ministry of Defense is a hot issue for the executive. In July, the army chief of staff Pierre de Villiers had resigned with a bang to protest against the cancellation of 50 million euros of credits.

The case of "leftovers to pay"
But as Le Monde reminds us, this unblocking does not allay tensions between the government and the army. At issue: the delicate question of "outstanding debts", budgetary commitments made by the State, which are not paid and will be recorded in future budgets. The government wants to cap the level reached in late 2017, or 107 billion euros.

This objective is included in the public finance programming bill for the years 2018 to 2022. But of this amount, 50 billion is for the Defense.

"The government amendment poses a serious risk of challenging our strategic ambitions as they were developed consensually in the recent strategic review," warned the chairman of the defense commission of the National Assembly, Jean-Jacques Bridey.

The last report of the accident reports 4 dead, 4 people still in intensive care or intensive care and two people in pediatric service.
• Two families of victims who are civil parties

Two of the families of adolescents who died in the collision filed a complaint with civil party in Marseille. This "will allow families of two dead college students to access the court file tomorrow, have information they do not have and possibly request additional investigations on the circumstances of the accident," said Me Jehanne Collard, their lawyer. The center specialized in accidents and collective disasters within the specialized interregional Jurisdiction (JIRS) of the public prosecutor of Marseille is seized of the investigation to determine the causes of this accident.

The driver ensured during her auditions that she saw the crossing barriers raised.

Élisabeth Pelsez, an inter-ministerial delegate for victims' assistance, said that the care of bereaved families would be "improved" after three families of victims expressed their feelings of "abandonment". Me Collard, the lawyer for three of the six families, said that there was no care, citing the example of the mother of one of the victims, who "said she was not accompanied to the announcement of the death of his child whose body was in Montpellier. She would have waited several hours, before going alone to the scene of the accident to find the body of his son. Responding on RTL to the indignation of this mother, Elizabeth Pelsez judged "it is perfectly normal for this mother to say that the time seemed immensely long and that during all that time she had to be desperately alone with her pain ". "We will make sure that in the future we can take steps to ensure that people who need to travel are accompanied," she said.

North Korea: Pyongyang to launch new satellite


According to the official organ of the ruling party, North Korean satellite launches are "absolutely" in line with the UN Charter.


North Korea, whose space program according to some experts is only a cover for its ballistic program, is preparing a new satellite launch, reported Tuesday, December 26, a South Korean newspaper.

A ninth round of sanctions was passed last week by the UN Security Council to force Pyongyang to give up its banned nuclear and ballistic programs, as well as satellite launches.
Does Pyongyang have the right to launch satellites?

"We have recently learned through different channels that the North has completed a new satellite called Kwangmyongsong-5," a government source told the daily "Joongang Ilbo". "Their project is to put into orbit a satellite equipped with cameras and telecommunication instruments," she added.

South Korean intelligence believes that the satellite could be launched from a mobile launcher, and not from the usual launch site in Sohae.

The article was published the day after the publication of a text in Rodong Sinmun, the official organ of the ruling party in North Korea, reaffirming Pyongyang's right to launch satellites.

The daily argues that North Korean satellite launches are "absolutely" in line with the UN Charter and international space program law. The newspaper uses as an example the recent launch of an Algerian satellite.
A "peaceful" space program

On December 3, Rodong Sinmun again defended the "peaceful nature" of North Korea's space program and assured on December 10 that every country had the right to develop a space program.

In October, North Korea's deputy ambassador to the UN, Kim In-Ryong, said his country is following a four-year plan (2016-2020) on the development of "satellites contributing to economic development". and to improve the living conditions of the population ".

He added that North Korea had "entered the practical development phase of its satellites" with the successful launch in February 2016 of Kwangmyongsong-4 by Pyongyang.

After years of successive failures, North Korea would have succeeded in December 2012 to place a satellite in orbit.

The Russian newspaper "Rossiyskaia Gazeta" a few weeks ago quoted a Russian military expert, Vladimir Khrustalev, as saying that he expected North Korea to launch shortly two satellites, one for communications, the other for Earth observation.

He made the remarks when he returned from a week-long visit to North Korea in mid-November, during which he met with officials from the North Korean space agency.

Youpi children's magazine removed from sale

Youpi magazine in turmoil after a sentence on the state of Israel.

CRIF
The magazine intended for 5-8 years had undertaken to explain the countries of the world to the youngest. But a passage about the state of Israel has angered the Crif.

"Gustave Eiffel, the king of iron", "How does an elevator work" ... the themes addressed in the issue 352 of Youpi magazine, for the month of January 2018, had a priori no reason to be controversial.

Except that on one of the small detachable cards intended for its young readers between 5 and 8 years, a comment on the State of Israel caused a real stupefaction. "We call these 197 countries states, like France, Germany or Algeria.There are some more, but all other countries in the world do not agree that these are real country (eg the State of Israel or North Korea).

The couple of artists, missing in China, was released



The couple of artists who were unreachable in China after painting a politically sensitive work has been "released" and is preparing to return to France, he said Monday, December 25 on Twitter. "I was released a few days ago and we are now in my hometown," Hu Jiamin wrote on the social network.
With his French wife, Marine Brossard, Hu Jiamin had not given any news since December 15, after making a mural in tribute to Liu Xiaobo, the Nobel Peace Prize died in July after eight years of detention for to have demanded democratic reforms in the Middle Kingdom.

A Hong Kong daily, the Ming Pao, claimed that the couple, living in Lyon, had been arrested after the work had been covered by the authorities. Everything related to Liu Xiaobo remains taboo in China.

An empty chair in front of bars
In his message written in English, Hu Jiamin does not specify the reasons for his detention but said he plans to return to France on the 30th. He adds that the couple had to change their return ticket "to avoid entering Hong Kong , to avoid getting into trouble.

Marine Brossard's brother, Mael, had previously told Agence France Presse that his brother-in-law had been released Thursday and that his sister had not been detained. The two young men had traveled to Shenzhen, in southern China, to participate in an exhibition of town planning and architecture.

They had managed to expose a fresco showing an empty chair in front of bars. This image evoked the memory of Liu Xiaobo: unable to travel to Norway to receive his Nobel Prize in 2010, the Chinese dissident was represented at the ceremony by an empty chair.

Liu Xiaobo died in cancer custody without the authorities letting him go abroad for treatment. His widow Liu Xia is still de facto under house arrest without any crime ever being held against her.

iPhone: What solutions to the clamping of the battery by Apple



You own an "old iPhone", bridged by Apple, and would like to remedy that? There are solutions! The writing explains the procedure to follow to regain power...

It was one of the revelations this month: Apple intentionally bridles the "old iPhone", mainly to preserve the performance of the latter. So it's not for nothing if you could see, if you have a model that has more than a year, a big drop in battery life. Faced with this outcry, several users have decided to launch a class-action against the American firm. In the meantime, there are solutions to the clamping of the battery made by Apple. And, you suspect, most of them need to touch the latter via various means (more or less safe).

Goldman Sachs a plus d'un Bitcoin dans son sac


La déferlante d'articles sur les cryptomonnaies ces dernières semaines, à mesure que le bitcoin prenait de l'altitude, suffit à montrer l'engouement qu'elles suscitent aussi bien dans le grand public que chez les professionnels de la finance... Et ce n'est pas le débat, qui continue à faire rage entre les détracteurs et soutiens des cryptomonnaies, qui va faire retomber la fièvre, ni même sa sévère correction de vendredi !

Car le bitcoin constitue sans doute aussi une révolution majeure pour l'économie, que les intermédiaires financiers ne peuvent se permettre d'ignorer ou de laisser de côté. En substance, mieux vaut prendre ses pertes si c'est un feu de paille que rater le train en marche...


Avis personnel
Chez Goldman Sachs, les hauts dirigeants ont un avis sur la question... Mais ils ne l'expriment pas (encore) de manière tranchée. Le PDG Lloyd Blankfein avait résumé la position de la banque par un tweet du 3 octobre dernier : "Still thinking about Bitcoin. No conclusion - not endorsing/rejecting. Know that folks also were skeptical when paper money displaced gold" (Je pense toujours au bitcoin... Pas encore de conclusion, ni pour, ni contre. Les gens étaient aussi sceptiques lorsque la monnaie-papier a remplacé l'or.

Depuis cette date, les lignes ont bougé au sein de "The Firm". Goldman Sachs est en train de déployer un "desk de trading" à New York, dédié aux cryptomonnaies... L'objectif serait de disposer d'une entité opérationnelle en juin prochain, avant peut-être si les planètes sont alignées plus rapidement que prévu.

On peut raisonnablement penser que le stade de la rumeur est dépassé et que la banque d'affaires est effectivement en train de peaufiner une branche spécialisée. Surtout à la lecture de la réponse faite par un porte-parole interrogé sur la question : pour répondre à l'intérêt de nos clients pour les cryptomonnaies, nous étudions la meilleure façon de les satisfaire. Presque un aveu donc...

Les banques fourbissent leurs armes
Le "desk" pourrait être logé dans la division qui traite l'obligataire, les devises et les matières premières, mais rien n'a encore été décidé. Jongler avec les cryptomonnaies ne s'improvise pas... Goldman Sachs va devoir cadrer juridiquement son activité, la sécuriser, trouver un mode de conservation et décider du degré de liberté laissé à ses clients.

Des questions compliquées à régler... Bloomberg a rapporté une anecdote sur une certaine forme de conservatisme qui perdure au sein de l'institution, habituée aux montages financiers ultra-complexes, mais confuse face à ces cryptomonnaies qu'elle a du mal à appréhender : Lorsque le CBOE a lancé ses premiers contrats sur le bitcoin au début du mois, Lloyd Blankfein aurait exigé de certains clients de Goldman Sachs qu'ils disposent en face de leurs "trades" de fonds équivalents en bons vieux dollars. Une politique qui aurait amené certains d'entre eux à passer par d'autres intermédiaires... et qui a peut-être provoqué un branle-bas de combat pour mettre en place une division spécialisée dans le négoce des cryptomonnaies.

Dans la finance, toutes les entreprises ont commencé à plancher sur la question, mais si certaines s'en défendent encore... Pendant ce temps, les cryptomonnaies grignotent du terrain au sein de la sphère financière. Elles ne sont pas encore au stade de l'institutionnalisation, mais elles occupent un espace de plus en plus vaste.

Bandeaux défilants
Exemple, il y a désormais sur les terminaux Bloomberg un "moniteur de cryptomonnaie". On peut y lire la définition maison d'une devise cryptographique, un actif numérique défini mathématiquement, décentralisé, qui permet d'effectuer des transactions sous forme cryptographiée sans avoir besoin de banques centrales ainsi que la liste des plus importantes cryptomonnaies (bitcoin, ripple, ethereum, litcoin) avec leurs cours, les cotations sur diverses plateformes spécialisées, plus les deux "futures" disponibles sur le bitcoin, sur le CBOE et le CME.
