« Si lors d’un incident violent sur l’esplanade, un Palestinien mourrait, apparemment en défense d’al-Aqsa, cela pourrait être perçu comme un outrage national, au risque de provoquer une vague de violence très difficile à contenir ».
Ofer Zalzberg, analyste principal pour Israël et la Palestine, Les Echos, 30 octobre
“What we have been seeing for a few years now, but with more force in the last few months, is a kind of unstructured violence, attacks on [Israeli] civilians…. They are people who are not affiliated with groups like Hamas. And because it’s individuals, it’s incredibly difficult for the Israeli police to prevent. [Closing the Aqsa mosque] will feed this”.
Ofer Zalzberg, Senior Analyst for Israel/Palestine, ABC, 30 October
“In UNAMID, as in other missions, self-censorship and censorship by the hierarchy can exist at all levels…. I met with local human rights officers [in Darfur] who were censoring themselves because they thought they would be censored anyway by their hierarchy”.
Jérôme Tubiana, Sudan Senior Analyst, VICE News, 30 October
“El terrorismo es algo político y aquí en Túnez tiene una dimensión financiera y práctica vinculada al crimen organizado. Es más que una ideología y se asemeja al modo en que las FARC en Colombia utilizan la ideología marxista. Es una tentativa de organización que cuenta con gente receptiva a su discurso. Pero incluso hay diferentes tendencias en su seno. No tienen una estrategia contra el Estado tunecino. Lo que les interesa es, simplemente, debilitarlo para seguir actuando y para ello utilizan precisamente el contrabando”.
Michaël Béchir Ayari, analista para Túnez, El Mundo, 28 de octubre
« Le parti [vainqueur des élections législatives tunisiennes Nida Tounes] a misé dès le début sur la peur du terrorisme, sur la restauration du prestige et de l’autorité de l’Etat ».
Michaël Béchir Ayari, analyste principal pour la Tunisie, Le Temps, 28 octobre
“In the region now, a small spark can light a big fire…. This town [Kobane] that no one had heard of is now a key force in Turkish politics and exacerbating trends from Syria that are jumping across the border”.
Hugh Pope, Europe and Central Asia Deputy Program Director, Wall Street Journal, 27 October
“[Puntland’s 14 October deal] is symptomatic of the ad-hoc approach that is being taken to the federalism agenda, without a larger national dialogue…. The UN mission in Somalia, the SFG, IGAD, the EU and other donors are now hooked into a continuing cycle of local, partial deals, all to meet a series of external deadlines that have never produced good politics in Somalia”.
Cedric Barnes, Horn of Africa Project Director, IRIN, 21 October |
