IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Felix Ndahinda
    Felix Ndahinda “I don't see this [granting the mandate to combat M23 rebels to a force comprising southern African nations, SADECO] as a stabilising intervention, at most, it will postpone the issue because there is no one military solution. Structural weaknesses in governance, lack of state presence in remote regions and interethnic rivalries, are among causes that the state is failing to address. In the last 30 years, different interventions have been addressing partial symptoms of the problem rather than looking at the full picture - till that is not done, you can only postpone, but not resolve, the issue.” 53 minutes ago

    Bintou Keita “One Congolese person out of four faces hunger and malnutrition. More than 7.1 million people have been displaced in the country. That is 800,000 people more since my last briefing three months ago. The armed group [M23] is making significant advances and expanding its territory to unprecedented levels.” 1 hour ago
  • Annalena Baerbock
    Annalena Baerbock “He [Putin] makes it more than clear that he is beyond the reach of rational arguments and the values ​​of humanity. And he definitely doesn't want to negotiate. If Putin wins in Ukraine, our security and international order will be at risk. Ukraine's support is our own guarantee of security.” 1 hour ago

“Gaining Patriot air defence capability would be very, very significant for Kyiv. These are going to be quite capable of dealing with a lot of different challenges the Ukrainians have, especially if the Russians bring in short-range ballistic missiles.”

“More analysis is needed, but given that North Korea fired short-range ballistic missiles, this would not cross the U.S. red line and could be seen as mounting a protest against the combined exercises [between US and South Korea]. In addition, it may have been intended to urge the U.S. to concede more for their nuclear negotiations. As the military provocation could pave the way for the Chinese foreign minister to represent North Korea's position on halting the joint exercises and removing challenges against the country, this may have affected the North Korean regime's decision on the timing of the missile firings.”
