My taxi driver said, ‘Everyone's leaving. If it goes on like this, there won't be anyone left in Pamir soon' as we followed the Panj, the river that runs between Tajikistan and Afghanistan, to the south of Khorog, capital of the autonomous region of Gorno-Badakshan. Pointing out some shepherds on the opposite bank, he told me life was better this side of the river. He didn't sound too sure about it though. People have long been leaving this poor, remote area of Tajikistan in search of work, but (...) - 2024/09 / box, 2024/09 tajikistan

On 30 July Emmanuel Macron sent a letter to Morocco's King Mohammed VI, recognising his country's sovereignty over Western Sahara. This was not just a departure from international law; it also puts the fragile balance of French-Algerian relations at risk. In his letter to the king, who was celebrating 25 years on the throne, Macron indicated that he regarded the autonomy plan for the Sahara which Rabat has promoted since 2007 as ‘the only basis for a political, fair, sustainable, and (...) - 2024/09 / editorial
