"We are at war" declared Benjamin Netanyahu following the Hamas attack on 7 October. The Israeli Prime Minister soon came under fire for his reform of the justice system, which has divided the country, and for deploying part of the army to the West Bank. Hamas and Gaza on one side, the West Bank and the Palestinian Authority on the other. An explanation with maps.

Israel - Palestine Escalation

"We are at war" declared Netanyahu following the Hamas attack on 7 October. To understand the conflict, geography is key.

With each having more than 1.4 billion citizens, China and India are the two most populous countries on Earth - two giants with completely opposite state models. A conflict simmers between these two powers, high up in the Himalayas, along the "Line of Actual Control," a border that stretches for hundreds of kilometres...

The Ukraine war is not only taking place on the battlefield and on the world markets, but also in the media. Whether it's to legitimise the illegal attack on Ukraine, divide the international community, or influence public opinion, the manipulation of facts is a hallmark of Vladimir Putin's leadership.

The Ukraine war is not only taking place on the battlefield and on the world markets, but also in the media.

The Vikings, Christopher Columbus, Charles Lindbergh... The Atlantic Ocean has long been traversed by the greatest explorers. It is also here that global trade developed. World War II, and especially the Cold War, gave it strategic importance with the creation of NATO and the emergence of Atlanticism. The Atlantic Alliance no longer seemed relevant after the fall of the USSR, until the invasion of Ukraine by Vladimir Putin's Russia brought it back to the forefront.

The Geopolitics of the Atlantic

Long unknown and inhospitable, the Atlantic Ocean has been gradually explored, charted, and even tamed.

Paradisiacal beaches, volcanoes, rivers, primeval forests, and an extraordinary variety of species: Costa Rica, located between the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Caribbean Sea to the east, is a popular destination for ecotourists. Not least due to its nature reserves, the country has built a solid reputation as a "green paradise." However, the ecological Garden of Eden also has a dark side.

When Moscow violated Kiev's sovereignty in 2022, Ukraine and Poland appeared to be rock solid: 1 million Ukrainians were welcomed in Poland, which became a strategic hub for NATO military aid. But now things are not going so well between Kiev and Warsaw with the bone of contention being grain exports.

Poland- Ukraine Relations

Why are the Poles and Ukrainians not getting on so well?

Taiwan has almost everything it takes to be an independent state, with a flag, currency, and an army. But it no longer has representation in the UN, and China claims it as one of its regions. Just a few months before the Taiwanese presidential elections in January 2024, ARTE dedicates a special issue to the island. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has raised fears that China could be tempted to emulate Russia and try to take the island back by force.

Could War Break Out in Taiwan?

With months to go before the elections in Taiwan, the island's relationship to China is at the top of voters' minds.

The earthquake that hit Morocco, has aroused strong emotions, particularly in France, which is home to the largest Moroccan diaspora. Yet France was not among the first countries asked by Morocco to provide aid: Rabat chose Spain, the United Kingdom, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. How can this choice be explained?

France was not one of the first countries asked by Rabat to provide emergency aid after the terrible earthquake. Why?

After the coups in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, the contagion continues: this time in Central Africa. Just after the announcement of Ali Bongo's re-election in Gabon, a group of soldiers declared on television that they had seized power.
