Terrorismus und Gewalt in Nigeria besorgniserregend

Die Sicherheitslage in Nigeria hat sich deutlich verschlechtert. Islamisten, Banditen und der blutige Bauern-Hirten-Konflikt in Zentralnigeria destabilisieren Nigeria zunehmend.

Nigerias Sicherheitslage ist besorgniserregend, denn sie verschlechtert sich zunehmend. Nicht nur die Islamisten im Nordosten des Landes tragen zu einer Destabilisierung bei. Bewaffnete Banditen im Nordwesten und der blutige Bauern-Hirten-Konflikt in Zentralnigeria sind nicht in den Griff zu kriegen. Die Gewaltkriminalität hat außerdem in vielen Landesteilen deutlich zugenommen. Regierung und Sicherheitsorgane haben keine Antwort auf die Sicherheitsprobleme. Die Bevölkerungszahl und die extreme Armut wachsen zudem rasant und die Wirtschaft entwickelt sich nur schleppend. Unter diesen Bedingungen wird sich die Sicherheitslage in Nigeria weiter verschlechtern.

Science Fiction and Climate Change

The science fiction (SF) genre is currently experiencing an increasing level of public attention, which is mainly focused on climate and environmental issues. Many of these stories represent a socio-political projection screen and not only reflect different cultural perceptions of climate change, but are also able to explain real political positions. For international climate and environmental policy, this trend could be an indication that there is a need to focus more strongly on questions of climate policy storytelling and remain closely linked to the presentation of the future and possible innovations in order to counteract the growing political polarization in this field.

Kommunalwahlen in Frankreich

Testlauf für die weitere Entwicklung der politischen Parteien

Während sich die parteipolitische Landschaft auf nationaler Ebene seit den letzten Kommunalwahlen im Jahr 2014 stark verändert hat, herrscht auf kommunaler Ebene Beständigkeit. Eine große Mehrheit der Franzosen ist mit der Arbeit ihrer Bürgermeister sehr zufrieden: 75 Prozent haben eine gute, wenn nicht sogar sehr gute Meinung über die geleistete Arbeit ihrer Kommunalvertreter.

Debatte um das Religionsgesetz in Montenegro

Gesetz über die Religions- und Glaubensfreiheit sowie die rechtliche Stellung religiöser Gemeinschaften

Anfang Januar dieses Jahres trat in Montenegro das kontrovers diskutierte „Gesetz über die Religions- und Glaubensfreiheit sowie die rechtliche Stellung religiöser Gemeinschaften“ (Gesetz über die Religionsfreiheit) begleitet von tumultartigen Szenen im montenegrinischen Parlament – am Ende befanden sich 18 Abgeordnete in Haft – und Protesten Zehntausender auf den Straßen in Kraft.

KAS MP SOE

No Transmission of Critical Voices

In Serbia there is currently an economic crime thriller happening on the television market and this before the parliament elections on the 26th April. The story is about several cable providers and the media group „United Media“ (parent enterprise: „United Group“) with its TV channel N1 that belongs to the media companies in Serbia which report critically about the government. The state-owned cable provider “Pošta Net“ has already removed the channels of United Media from its programme last December because they couldn’t agree on a contract renewal. As a result, many households couldn’t receive N1 anymore. Since Mid-January more viewers are affected, as the cable provider under the state „Telekom Serbia“ hasn’t prolonged their contracts either. A public exchange with accusations of political and economic interference between the players followed. Similar situations in the neighbouring countries can be observed. But let’s be clear from the get-go: The situation is more complicated than that and political reasons are not the only explanation for it.
