Russia: Arafat's death not caused by radiation

A Russian probe into the death of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has

found no trace of radioactive poisoning, the chief of the government

agency that conducted the study said on Thursday.



Vladimir Uiba, the head of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency,

said the agency had no plans to conduct further tests.



"It was a natural death; there was no impact of radiation," Mr. Uiba

said, according to Russian news agencies.



Teams of scientists from France, Switzerland and Russia were asked to

determine whether polonium, a rare and extremely lethal substance,

played a role in Mr. Arafat's death in a French military hospital in

2004.



After a 2012 report which said traces of radioactive polonium were

found on Mr. Arafat's clothing, his widow Suha Arafat filed a legal

complaint in France seeking an investigation into whether he was

murdered.



As part of that probe, French investigators had Mr. Arafat's remains

exhumed and ordered a series of tests on them. They ruled out

poisoning, while a Swiss report said high levels of radioactive

polonium indicated third party involvement in Mr. Arafat's death.



Palestinian Ambassador to Russia, Fayed Mustafa, was quoted by state

RIA Novosti news agency as saying Thursday that the Palestinian

authorities respect the Russian experts' conclusions but consider it

necessary to continue research into Mr. Arafat's death.

Le Rwanda au Mozambique : qui les a placés là, pourquoi ils ne peuvent pas rester et pourquoi la SADC doit les remplacer avant que les dégâts ne deviennent permanents

  Qui a placé le Rwanda là-bas, pourquoi la France refuse de le remplacer, comment le déploiement est devenu un bouclier contre les sanctions, et pourquoi la SADC doit agir avant que les dégâts ne deviennent permanents Mars 2026   Résumé exécutif Les sanctions occidentales contre les Forces de Défense du Rwanda (RDF), imposées par les États-Unis le 2 mars 2026 en vertu du Global Magnitsky Act et relayées par une pression croissante de l'Union européenne, ont mis à nu une contradiction stratégique de premier ordre. La même force militaire sanctionnée pour son soutien opérationnel direct au groupe rebelle M23 en République démocratique du Congo est simultanément le principal garant sécuritaire d'un projet de gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) de 20 milliards de dollars exploité par le géant français TotalEnergies à Cabo Delgado, dans le nord du Mozambique. Cette analyse répond à trois questions interconnectées dont les réponses définissent ...

UK and US in Africa Great Lakes: A Strategy Built on Sand

  A Strategy Built on Sand: How Western Military Support for Rwanda and Uganda. Fuelled Authoritarianism and Prolonged Conflict in the African Great Lakes Region.   Introduction: The Logic That Failed For more than three decades, the United States and the United Kingdom have invested heavily in building what they hoped would be stable, capable, and pro-Western security partners in the African Great Lakes Region. Rwanda and Uganda were the centrepiece of this strategy. Both governments received billions of dollars in financial assistance, advanced military training, logistical support, and sophisticated equipment. Both were celebrated in Western capitals as models of governance, post-conflict reconstruction, and economic development. That strategy has failed — comprehensively and consequentially. What the United States and United Kingdom created were not pillars of regional stability. They created highly militarised, authoritaria...

Working for Money : How France-Based Media Abandoned Credible Journalism to Serve Paul Kagame

A Critical Analysis of Jeune Afrique, Africa Intelligence, Africa Arabia and Le Point.   Introduction. Media organisations do not operate in a political vacuum. When influential publications depend on financial relationships with governments for their commercial survival, the resulting editorial distortions are not incidental — they are structural. In the African Great Lakes region, where political violence, human rights violations and systematic impunity intersect with international diplomacy and foreign investment, the question of who shapes the narrative is not academic. It is a matter of accountability. Several France-based publications — among them Jeune Afrique, Africa Intelligence, Africa Arabia and Le Point — have established themselves as the primary reference points for international audiences seeking to understand Rwanda and its role in Central and East Africa. Their analyses reach diplomats, policymakers, investors and political elites across Af...
