African Destiny: Extraverted Tensions, Military Coups and Mineral Wealth in West Africa

The two West African countries, Nigeria and Niger, recently signed a security agreement in response to the common threat they face. This is despite the regional problems that arose from the July 26, 2023 coup in Niger. Since the coup, sanctions, and fallout have marred relations between these neighboring countries.

Here is an analysis and presentation on the previous phases that led to the signing of such a mutual defense and security agreement between Niger and Nigeria.

Economic troubles in the west, social unrest in the center, political instability in the east and civil wars in the southeast

Paradox of History, Niamey is the place of expression of the establishment of a commercial integration of Africa and today it is the heart of the military overthrow and the coup d’état against an elected President.

The largest trading platform and the chasm of instability

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) was established by an agreement adopted on 21 March 2018 and entered into force on 30 May 2019. As of that date, 24 countries had deposited their instruments of ratification. Subsequently, 54 countries have signed the agreement, of which 43 (80%) have deposited their instruments of ratification by May 2022.

In terms of the operational phase, the AfCFTA was launched on 7 July 2019 at the 12th Extraordinary Session of the Assembly of the Union on the AfCFTA held in Niamey, Niger.

To name a few of the structural gaps and institutional inadequacies that dominate the dashboard of central power legitimacy in Africa:

Leaders are no longer seen as liberators and freedom fighters as they were during the postcolonial period, such as the activists some of whom escaped execution and became leaders of Africa after being opponents and guerrillas against colonial power. Nor are current opponents identified as defenders of the interests of a marginalized ethnic group or region struggling against a central power parachuted in with the direct intervention of the former colonial armies.

Since independence and the turn of the 21st century, Africa has gradually transformed into a scene of violent conflicts where actors, protagonists, and warlords have played at different levels of the international and regional scene the support of one against the other to enrage their opposition and their regional explosion of guerrilla violence based on ethnic grievances. These ideological guerrillas have transformed into regional and national conflicts motivated by the monopoly and appropriation of political power or financial gain.

Regional armed groups have been financed and trained by the former colonial powers and their mercenaries to dominate and control the trade of precious mineral resources, thereby asserting their ideology or settling their grievances.

One of the consequences of these geostrategic manipulations is that these interferences have magically become the reasons and justifications for the presence of foreign troops in African countries, thus allowing the continuation of colonialism and the institutionalization of a new form of Military Protectorate under the cover of the new globalized security policy.

Deep wounds have resulted and continue to open with the repetition of a cascade of coups d’état, interference by foreign powers, arms races, and races against time to monopolize and acquire the riches of the African subsoil.

Modernization and sophistication of the military intelligence apparatus in Africa, a new challenge for civilian governments

Since independence, no stable governance has become the main component of African regimes, and no serious and measurable effort has been able to be truly and authentically implemented and have large-scale results in terms of economic development, social justice, and public health. These failures have renewed the scourges and impacts of causes and reasons in the socio-economic and political domains that have exacerbated the problems of poverty and inequality in African regions where armed violence and coups are seen as an escape route.

The critical question for Africa therefore remains:

Can we build African integration and unity at the continental level when we are experiencing regional insecurity, instability, and all the follies and deformations of a ravaged, vulnerable state subjected to all forms of institutional deprivation?

Share with us all, your thoughts and perceptions on these critical issues that determine Africa’s progress today and shape the destiny of the current African generation.

Troubles in West, Central, and East Africa

Africa has not yet found the path to conciliation through dialogue on solutions and resolution alternatives, and the de-escalation of the reasons for political-military and bureaucratic-technocratic rivalries and competitions as well as the race to seize power and use it to purge the country of opponents, opponents and activists who do not share its will, political objectives, and institutional objectives.

The coup d’état in Africa has been used as a reward and valorization of personal gains in the ranks of the military. The hoarding of wealth under the pretext of the decadence of political rules and the degradation of institutional equity is presented as the cause of social violence, non-compliance with the law, the rise of organized crime and delinquency, the absence of social programs for the development of the workforce and the creation of jobs for the troubling waves of young generations, the spread of corruption accompanied by favoritism, injustice, corruption, despotism, nepotism and clientelism among the new rising hybrid elites resulting from a social crossbreeding of technocrats and “militarists” formed by foreign schools of thought and martial eco-management strategies. The incumbent political parties in search of popular legitimacy have remained attached to the past neocolonial relationships that shaped the leadership and ruling classes in Africa where power was concentrated in a few hands that received the blessing of the European colonial powers that facilitated the transfer of central state power to their benefit under the pretext of facade independence.

Many treaties and agreements with foreign countries and entities were signed to consolidate the “grip” of these hereditary neocolonial politicians, especially in the French-speaking countries of sub-Saharan Africa. These elites were also handpicked because of their allegiance to the former colonial power by their adherence to the militaristic approach favored in the process of power transfer. This militaristic strategy reinforced the rivalries between the different ethnic tribes and existing religious practices.

These social and cultural divisions were premeditated as part of the divisive strategy favored by the European leaders. African society was then shaped according to the decision of the metropolis and its new need for regional domination based on the selection of individuals who had lived and been educated by the former colonial power. These new “metropolitan” castes became the civil servants, translators, and lower administrative links forming and serving the function of gears between the centralized colonial power and the regional tribal chiefs.

  • What specific examples are there of African military leaders who acquired strategic knowledge?
  • How has the professionalization of the military impacted relations between military and civilian governments?
  • Are there potential solutions to the problem of military leaders having more knowledge and sophistication than elected officials?
  • What are the potential consequences if military leaders have more knowledge and sophistication than elected officials?

These are the questions that are being addressed as reasons for forcibly changing governments.

As we all know, since the time of independence, Africa has always received aid, advice, guidance, investment, and promotion in all areas, and even its military has been fortunate to acquire sophisticated strategic knowledge, not only on military management but also on technology, know-how and new forms of governance, all based on the knowledge, identification, and prevention of insecurity and social unrest.

African military leaders have visited Western war schools, research and development centers, think tanks on security and guerrilla warfare, and even on the use of high technology to control masses and populations, and even other military units that could be sources of instability. This new mix of African military through technocratic and managerial formations is so advanced that the promoters of such formations could become the disruptors of intelligence flows and intelligence on state management. We have witnessed, in the case of Sudan and other armies in Latin America, Asia, and the rest of Africa, this type of extreme professionalization of the military that created a schism in their ranks as well as a separation from the central state: a new permanent militaristic state developed within the state that until then was composed only of presidents, parliamentarians and elected administrators – elected heads of regional and local councils.

The state presidents as career politicians and the rest of the politicians practicing the art of political controversy did not have the level of knowledge acquired by military officers. As a result, these “politicians” could not compete with the level of sophistication of practical knowledge and political awareness that the army leaders acquired and developed through their direct participation in training programs and by joining the coalition of military personnel of different nationalities conducting exercises and security operations in Africa.

The issue of security, the presence of foreign troops, and the development of jihadists

The three-border zone: the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara

In the Liptako-Gourma zone, known as the three borders with Mali and Burkina Faso, it is also from these two neighboring countries that jihadists launch attacks inside Niger before retreating.

On its western flank, Niger is mainly confronted with the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS) group, which has gained the upper hand over its rival affiliated with Al-Qaeda, the Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims (GSIM), which is more established in Mali.

In March 2023, the Nigerien army announced that it had killed 79 jihadists that it had chased into Malian territory. In this regard, the Nigerien authorities extended by three months at the end of April 2023 the state of emergency declared in the border regions of Tillabéri and Tahoua in the west, established in 2017, as well as that of Diffa in the southeast, bordering Nigeria and Chad.

In the southeast, on the border with Nigeria and Chad: Boko Haram and the Islamic State in West Africa

Unlike Liptako-Gourma, the southeastern flank constitutes another major source of insecurity. Here too, the threat is cross-border and comes from Nigeria and Lake Chad, where the jihadists of Boko Haram and its dissident branch, the Islamic State in West Africa (ISWAP), are active.

In this area, the Nigerien army can penetrate the neighboring territory of Nigeria to track down the jihadists who retreat there, for example from Boko Haram. As a sign of the relations between the various armed extremist groups, in 2022, the EIGS joined the Islamic State in West Africa.

Read: Niger: around thirty “terrorists” who fled Nigeria killed by the army

The distress of populations forced to move. Attacks by extremist armed groups in the west, south, and east of Niger, against localities or army positions, are causing flows of civilian populations to flee the violence.

According to the UN, in Niger, 698,000 people are forced to move in June 2023: among them, 358.000 displaced persons, 251,000 refugees, and 50,000 asylum seekers. Most of the refugees fled the conflicts in Mali and Burkina Faso, but also in northeastern Nigeria.

Niger: the disarray of Malian refugees

Other refugees are also flocking to the northern border with Algeria, which is expelling them across the desert. Since the beginning of 2023, more than 9,000 migrants turned back at the border by Algeria have found themselves stranded in Assamaka, in the desert region of Agadez, report UN organizations.


Military aid and foreign bases in Niger

After the coups d’état in Mali and Burkina Faso, which resulted in the withdrawal of French forces and even a rapprochement with Russia, Niger has become the West’s best ally in the fight against jihadists in the Sahel.


Recently, the European Union granted €5 million in aid to supply weapons to the Nigerien forces.

The United States and France are among the key partners. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made a first visit to Niger during an African tour in mid-March 2023.

The United States built Air Base 201 in Agadez, in the north of the country. It is used in particular for the take-off of American drones and surveillance and intelligence missions.

France was forced to redeploy its presence in the Sahel to Niger. Some 1,500 French soldiers are present there. Air Base 101 located near Niamey airport is the hub. This is where French drones and fighters take off.

Niger: Eighth coup d’état since independence in 1960

In #Niger, gathered under the name of the National Council for the Safeguarding of the Fatherland (CNSP), a group of soldiers announced on national television on Wednesday evening the end of the era of President Mohamed Bazoum, democratically elected in 2021.

“Soldiers claimed, late in the evening of Wednesday, July 26, to have overthrown the regime of Nigerien President #MohamedBazoum, in a statement read by one of them on national television in #Niamey, on behalf of a National Council for the Safeguarding of the Fatherland (CNSP). An act motivated in particular by “the continuing deterioration of the security situation” in Niger, according to Colonel-Major Amadou Abdramane Sandjodi.”

“All institutions of the 7th Republic are suspended. The Secretary General of the Ministries will be responsible for managing current affairs. The defense and security forces are managing the situation. All external partners are requested not to interfere”

“Land and air borders are closed until the situation stabilizes. A curfew is in effect from today, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. throughout the territory until further notice”

“Among the officers who participated in the declaration reading, we can cite among others the head of the Nigerien special forces, General Barmou Batouré, General Toumba, chief of staff of the army, and the high commander of the national guard.”

National Council for the Safeguarding of the Homeland

This group of soldiers, grouped within a National Council for the Safeguarding of the Homeland (#CNSP) claimed to have dismissed President Mohamed Bazoum. The coalition of soldiers forming this National Council imposed a curfew and closed the borders. The statement was made in the presence of senior army officers, including Generals Mohamed Toumba and Moussa Salaou and Colonels Adamou Ibro (presidential guard) and Ahmad Sidian (national guard). This Thursday morning 27/7/2023, the Chief of Staff rallied to the cause of the putschists to “preserve the physical integrity of President Bazoum” and cohesion within the army.

The #CNSP called on the “French partner” to respect the provisions of press release number 3, relating to the closure of air and land borders, after noting the landing of a military plane at Niamey airport on Thursday at 6 a.m.

After Burkina Faso and Mali, Niger After Mali and Burkina Faso, Niger becomes the third Sahel country to experience a coup d’état since 2020; another “Barkhane” country will therefore be led by the military.

Jean Luc Mélenchon: “A new military coup after Mali and Burkina; each time, the French presence is denounced”

This coup in Niger is one example among many of the decline in security and the rule of law in Africa. Indeed, nearly 70% of the African population lives in a country where the security environment and the rule of law are worse in 2021 than in 2012, mainly due to the deterioration of the security situation according to the Mo Ibrahim index.

Compared to ten years ago, the levels of violence against civilians and armed conflict are much higher.

The United States and African military elites: Military Supremacy Over Civilian Regimes in Sub-Saharan Africa

Since 2012, American taxpayers have spent more than $500 million in Niger, making it one of the largest security assistance programs in sub-Saharan Africa. Across the continent, the State Department recorded only nine terrorist attacks in 2002 and 2003, compared with 2,737 last year in Burkina Faso, Mali, and western Niger, according to a report by the Africa Center for Strategic Studies, a U.S. Department of Defense think tank.

U.S. troops train, advise, and assist their Nigerien counterparts. They have fought and even died in the country. Over the past decade, the number of U.S. troops deployed to Niger has grown from 100 to 1,016. Niger has also seen a proliferation of U.S. outposts.

Barmou and Braga met in June 2023 to “discuss counterterrorism policy and tactics across the region,” according to a military press release. The Pentagon says the U.S. partnership with the Nigerien military, particularly its commandos, is critical to countering militants.

Department of Defense agencies partner with the Nigerien military and special operators to combat violent extremism across Northwest Africa, but experts say the focus on counterterrorism is part of the problem.

“The primary issues fueling conflict in Niger and the Sahel are not military. They stem from people’s frustration with poverty, the legacy of colonialism, elite corruption, and political and ethnic tensions and injustices.” Yet rather than addressing these problems, the U.S. government has prioritized sending weapons, funding, and training the region’s militaries to fight its wars on terrorism,” said Stephanie Savell, co-director of the Costs of War Project at Brown University and an expert on U.S. military efforts in West Africa. “One of the hugely negative consequences has been the strengthening of the region’s security forces at the expense of other government institutions, and that’s certainly a factor in the list of coups we’ve seen in Niger, Burkina Faso, and elsewhere in recent years.” » Nick Turse – July 27, 2023, 6:27 p.m.

Africa of the people and Africa of the elites torpedoed from outside

African presidents of ECOWAS want to be the policemen of West Africa to save their positions

ECOWAS leaders meet to discuss the coup in Niger

Nigerian military leaders have warned against any armed intervention in the country as West African leaders are due to meet on Sunday 30/07/2023 in the Nigerian capital for an emergency summit to decide on further actions to pressure the military to restore constitutional order.

Heads of state from the 15-member Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the eight-member West African Economic and Monetary Union could suspend Niger from their institutions, isolate the country from the regional central bank and financial market, and close its borders.

Chad, Niger’s eastern neighbor and not a member of either regional organization, has been invited to the ECOWAS summit, a statement from the Chadian presidency said Saturday (July 29, 2023).

Niger is one of the world’s poorest countries, receiving nearly $2 billion a year in official development assistance, according to the World Bank. It is also a security partner of former colonial powers France and the United States, which use it as a base to fight an Islamist insurgency in the Sahel region of West and Central Africa.

West African leaders could also consider for the first time a military intervention to reinstate President Mohamed Bazoum, who was ousted when General Abdourahamane Tiani was proclaimed the new head of state on Friday 28/07/2023.

Ahead of Sunday’s summit, Niger’s military leaders warned Saturday night, in a statement read on Niger national television, against any military intervention.

“The objective of the (ECOWAS) meeting is to approve a plan of aggression against Niger through an imminent military intervention in Niamey in collaboration with other African countries not members of ECOWAS and some Western countries,” said the junta’s spokesman, Colonel Amadou Abdramane.

The Nigerian army announced Thursday that Niger and Nigeria had finalized a security agreement, following a meeting between the defense chiefs of the two countries on Wednesday in Niamey, the capital of Niger.

A statement from a Nigerian military official said: “Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to resume and strengthen collaboration, intending to ensure regional stability and security.”

Relations between the two countries have been strained for nearly a year, as the regions bordering the two countries have cultural ties.

Niger has in the past accused ECOWAS of failing to help it combat Islamist violence. However, it appears that the two countries have concluded that a partnership is necessary to combat the insecurity they face.

The statement issued by the Nigerian military official noted that the agreement reached this week “reaffirmed its willingness to resume active participation in security cooperation within the framework of the Multinational Joint Task Force.”

The rift between Niger and Nigeria began after the coup in Niger in July 2023

Niger immediately began facing sanctions from the West and its then regional bloc, ECOWAS, including a threat of invasion to restore democracy.

As a result, Niger would join Burkina Faso and Mali in September of that year to form a regional alliance known as the Alliance of Sahel States (ESA), which was intended to operate outside ECOWAS jurisdiction.

In February 2024, ECOWAS lifted the sanctions it had imposed on Niger, including trade, economic, and other sanctions. This would do little to encourage Niger to return to ECOWAS.

During the same period, Niger reiterated its ban on flights from Nigeria, insisting that flights from Nigeria would not be allowed to land in Niger.

Nigeria had previously announced the reinstatement of the ban on flights to and from Niger through a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM). This indicated that the measure was being implemented in line with the ECOWAS resolution.

However, in May, Nigerien Prime Minister Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine invited all ECOWAS countries to join the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), which appeared to be on the rise.

Orano Niger No Uranium


🌍AFRICA 🌍 AFRIQUE 🌍 Said El Mansour Cherkaoui


France Admits Niger Bid to up uranium levy legitimate

Issued on: 06/02/2014 – 10:16

France has admitted that Niger’s demand for more revenue from uranium mining on its soil is legitimate. French-owned energy giant Areva is renegotiating the amount of royalties it should pay Niger for its mining operations there.

By: RFIFollow

Areva operates two mines at Somaïr and Cominak in the north of the country and the uranium is vital for France’s nuclear power program which provides the country’s electricity.


The company’s contract with Niamey expired at the end of 2013.

Under deals signed in 1961 and 1968, Areva pays royalties of 5.5 percent.

Niger wants to apply a 2006 mining law that ends tax breaks for foreign companies and would raise the tax rate to 12 percent and negotiations between the company and Niger’s government are reported to have been “intense”.

French Development Minister Pascal Canfin, a member of the Green party, EELV, which in principle opposes nuclear power told the French parliament on Wednesday that the two parties have set a deadline for the end of February to sign an agreement and that the French government considers Niger’s requests to be legitimate.

Niger ranks last on the United Nations Human Development Index.

Four Areva employees were freed last October after being captured in Niger and held for three years by Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.

In the Geopolitical Balance, Enriched Uranium Becomes a Poverty Tare for Orano

Orano cannot sell its Nuclear Power Plants without Guaranteeing a Supply of Uranium for 20 years

In the current global context, it is like selling a car without an engine and the existence of gas stations or electric charging stations.

Or as they say in Africa, Buying the Fish while it is still on the seabed of the Ocean.

This demonstrates the complete lack of consideration of these Western companies and their claims to power and the arrogance of their technological advances, that they allow themselves to consider Africa’s natural resources as acquired for their operational destiny for eternity.

This also reveals the complete lack of consideration for the technological and energy development of the host country and who owns these minerals essential to their downstream sales.

The door to Research and Development is closed and even walled for the House Africa and its need for in-house raised seeds of development.



Also in the same line of weaknesses and vulnerability of Western companies, is that they do not form local expertise in Africa as they do not transfer technology to make it localized with as foundations the establishment of a complementary partnership alliance of sharing responsibilities such as data and the objectives of adjacent research making the relationship between the foreign company in this case Orano a component of the development strategy of Niger and thus making this country a stakeholder and responsible for the supply of uranium to buyers of nuclear power plants produced jointly and in a complementary way between France and Niger.

The absence of such strategic foundations of alliance and collaboration can only be detrimental to both entities if a conflict arises or a strategic change of direction arises thus putting an end to this fragile relationship guided by the imperatives of immediate profit without return.

Take the money and run without consideration for the possible repercussions and the probable impact of sudden changes in the business relationship.

Africans and new military regimes have learned the lesson that mineral wealth can be a curse since the only interest identified by Western countries in Africa is in natural resources. Ahmed Sékou Touré was one of the first to issue this warning.

Henceforth, notice to amateurs and bounty hunters of mineral resources in Africa:

The conditions and rules of the chess game have become different and are based on the notion of winner – winner and the loser will be like Orano trapped in its bad calculations limited in time and space if not in profitability.

Africa #Niger #France #Orano #Uranium #Saidelmansourcherkaoui #Trickusa


In June 2024, Niger’s military government revoked the operating permit for the Imouraren uranium mine in northern Niger, which is operated by the French company Orano. The mine is one of the world’s largest uranium deposits, estimated to contain 200,000 tonnes of the metal. 

The revocation of Orano’s permit is a significant escalation of tensions between Niger and France, the country’s former colonial power. The move comes as Niger continues to cut ties with France and establish closer links with Russia. Niger’s president, who was allied with Paris, was overthrown in a coup last July. 

Orano said it was willing to keep communication open with the military authorities, but that it reserved the right to take legal action against the revocation in a national or international court. 



For more than 50 years, Niger’s mining companies SOMAÏR and COMINAK have been developing value from the country’s uranium potential by mining déposits located in the northwest of the country in the desert region of the Aïr. Since the 1970s, industrial activity generated by site operations has been a major asset for regional and national economic and societal development.  Following the depletion of its resources, the COMINAK underground mine will cease production on March 31, 2021. However, the site’s redevelopment and environmental monitoring work will continue for at least 20 years. A third site, Imouraren, will begin operations as soon as market conditions permit.

Creating the conditions and carrying out actions for the continuity of uranium mining operations in northern Niger is the cornerstone of Orano’s mutually beneficial relationship with Niger.

• In 2019, 2,982 tons of uranium were produced by the two operating mines.
• More than 50 years of mining activity.
• Average grade: 1.9 kg of uranium per ton of ore at the SOMAÏR mine.
• Average grade: 3.6 kg of uranium per ton of ore at the COMINAK mine.

Three mining sites in the Nigerien desert

Discovered in the late 1950s by the CEA exploration teams, the uranium-bearing zone has enabled an entire uranium mining industry to develop, led by the SOMAÏR and COMINAK mining companies. COMINAK will stop its production on March 2021 following the exhaustion of its resources. Orano is committed to responsible closure, in close collaboration with the other shareholders of the company. The Imouraren project, currently paused, will go into production depending on market conditions.

SOMAÏR, an open-pitmine

SOMAÏR (Société des Mines de l’Aïr) – 63.4% owned by Orano and 36.66% owned by Sopamin (Société du Patrimoine des Mines du Niger) – operates multiple fields near the city of Arlit. Extracted from an open-pit mine, the ore is treated by heap leaching or dynamic leaching.

• An open-pit horizontal sedimentary deposit, 165-230 feet deep.
• Production capacity of 2000 to 2,500 tons of uranium per year.
• Since the start of operations in 1971, production of more than 70,000 tons.

SOMAÏR continues to invest to discover new uranium resources and extend the life of the mine. Numerous initiatives have been launched to ensure that the operation of SOMAÏR continues beyond 2035, through technical optimizations and digitization. They help improve the economy and the quality and safety of operations.

COMINAK, underground uranium mine

COMINAK (Compagnie Minière d’Akouta) is 59% owned by Orano, 31% by SOPAMIN (Niger), and 10% by Enusa (Enusa Industrias Avanzadas SA, Spain).

Orano Mining has held 59% of the capital in COMINAK since the end of February 2021 after the acquisition of the stake held by one of the historical shareholders, the Japanese company OURD (25%).

COMINAK produced more than 75,000 tons of uranium during 47 years of mining at Akouta, Akola, and Ebba. Following the depletion of resources, the Board of Directors of COMINAK voted in October 2019 to stop production on March 31, 2021.

In consultation with the Nigerien administrations and its shareholders, COMINAK is leading a project to remediate its industrial site responsibly and communicates continuously and transparently with stakeholders.

Operations to remediate the site are expected to last for at least ten years. Environmental monitoring will continue after completion of the remediation work for at least 5 years, at the end of which a review will be carried out. These works will make it possible to hand back a site that is safe and compliant with national standards, international recommendations, and Orano standards in terms of safety and radiation protection.

Imouraren project, the mine of the future

Located about 50 miles south of Arlit and about 100 miles north of Agadez, this deposit, discovered in 1966, contains one of the largest reserves in the world. Following a feasibility study completed at the end of 2007, Orano was awarded an operating permit to mine the deposit in early 2009. However, since 2015, the work to bring the site into production has been suspended and the site has been put “under cocoon”, pending more favorable market conditions. The operating company is 66.65% owned by Orano and 33.35% by Sopamin and the State of Niger.
Today Orano is researching new mining methods to improve the project’s economics. The Group is planning drilling campaigns in certain areas of the field to test the feasibility of these new innovative methods.


@Maurice Ascani

• Site : 193 square miles.
• Reserves of more than 174,000 tons of uranium after recovery.
• Annual production capacity of 5,000 tons and lifespan of 35 years.

Understanding the Differences: RFI, RFP, and RFQ

In the world of procurement and contract management, three acronyms often come up:

RFI, RFP, and RFQ. These stand for Request for Information (RFI), Request for Proposal (RFP), and Request for Quotation (RFQ), respectively.

While they may seem similar, each serves a unique purpose in the procurement process.

Request for Information (RFI)

An RFI is typically the first step in the procurement process. It’s a way for businesses to gather general information about products, services, or suppliers. It’s not necessarily a call to start the bidding process, but rather a way to understand the landscape.

For example, if a company is considering implementing a new software system but isn’t sure what options are available, it might issue an RFI to gather information about potential solutions and vendors.

Request for Proposal (RFP)

An RFP is a more detailed document and is used when a company has a specific project or problem. The company knows what it needs and is asking vendors to propose solutions.

The RFP will typically include information about the project, what services the company is looking for, and evaluation criteria for assessing proposals. Vendors respond with detailed proposals, explaining how they can meet the requirements, the timeline for delivery, and the cost.

Request for Quotation (RFQ)

An RFQ is used when a company knows exactly what it needs and is simply looking for a vendor that can supply the product or service at the best price. The RFQ will typically include a detailed description of what’s required, including quantity, specifications, and delivery schedule.

Vendors respond with a quote for the project, detailing the total cost of providing the product or service. The company then compares these quotes and chooses the best one based on price and the vendor’s ability to deliver.

Sales Strategy and Process Top 10 Ways to Close the Big Deal


  1. A Request for Proposals (RFP) is a publicly released project announcement by an organization indicating that bids are being solicited from contractors to carry out the project.
  2. The RFP focuses on the project, for the company issuing it and seeking potential companies responding to it.
  3. The request for proposals is a complete description of the project and what are its objectives, introduces the requesting organization, and describes the tendering/bidding process and the terms and conditions of the corresponding contract.

“Pièce Maîtresse” Design et Cornerstone Concept in Any Bid

The cornerstone (or foundation stone or setting stone) is the first stone set in constructing a masonry foundation. All other stones will be set about this stone, thus determining the position of the entire structure.

In research and preparation of responses to proposals or developing reports as well as in building strategy, whatever the domain or the fields of application, beware of the small requests included in the filigree within the text.

What looks to you as a minuscule pill, it can be a fundamental piece for the existence of an entire interrelated and interconnected structure.

One grain of dust can stop an entire robotic mechanism or an artificially intelligent machine

Never underestimate a piece or a stone, it can be the most important one in the edifice and the angular stone on which all is sustained.

Never underestimate a small thorn, it can stop a Lion from walking or running once it is planted under its feet and make the Monkey ridicule the Lion without being caught.


Market Entry Strategy in the United States

 by Said El Mansour Cherkaoui  

Oakland, Bay Area of San Francisco – Silicon Valley – California

An effective market entry strategy: We have identified the First key factors of success for expanding into the US: We have identified the First key factors of success for expanding into the US:
★ Carefully selected team of trusted advisors
★ The skills to leverage cultural differences
★ An effective market entry strategy
★ A carefully selected team of trusted advisors

… Continue Reading




The successful companies are also the ones that have a small but carefully selected team of trusted advisors who understand them well and work exclusively in the company’s interest.

Good collaboration between partners also contributes to a successful outcome. as they avoid knowledge gaps and overlaps.

These professionals are proactive and challenge their clients to get at their real objectives rather than blindly deliver what the clients ask; clients often don’t know what they need.

And finally, the successful ones are those that leverage the cultural differences both in their approach to the market and the U.S. buyer and in the way they work with Americans.

Of course, there are differences, in language, time zones, habits, in expectations, but utilizing these different perspectives to reach more innovative and creative solutions is the secret of working across cultures.

It is a force that can work against you or that can serve you if you learn to understand it and ride it masterfully.

Mastering each of these individually takes years of practice, and combining them is even more ambitious. That’s why companies only gain this experience at a tremendous cost in time, resources, wasted effort, and learning from challenges along the way. Continue reading …

Top 10 ways your proposals can help you increase your Proposal Close Ratio


1. Focus on the Customer:

Your sales proposal is customer-centered. It defines the business opportunity, current situation, financial impact, and the buyer’s needs and objectives.

2. Practice Consultative Sales:

A compelling proposal results from a consultative sales process. Avoid “boilerplate” proposals or proposals that read like poorly written brochures.

3. Define the Application:

Your sales proposal explains how your product or service will work in the buyer’s business. By defining the application, you answer many questions for the buyer and provide the information needed to make an informed buying decision—a function of consultative selling.

4. Calculate Benefits–Buyer Value:

Your proposal measures how your product or service will make or save money for each buyer—the financial benefits. This provides compelling financial reasons to make a change—another function of consultative selling.

5. Show Non-financial Benefits – Buyer Value:

Your proposal converts your product’s benefits or service’s capabilities into buyer-specific benefits. These benefits are not easily measured in monetary terms—another function of consultative selling.

6. Describe the Implementation:

Be specific by including methodology, schedule, and the staff required to implement the solution. This reduces your buyer’s perceived risk and answers

  • How?
  • How long?
  • and Who?

7. Include Pertinent Seller Information:

Your sales proposal assures the buyer that your organization can deliver on the contract. It includes a company profile that differentiates your company from the competition.

8. Highlight Business Information More Than Technical Information:

Buyers make decisions on business information, so your proposal should not overwhelm readers with the technology. Your sales force understands that the buyer wants to know how the technology will improve his business not why your new widget will make his network run faster.

9. Develop Proposal Standards:

Develop proposal standards and models. Proposals that win the big deal do not read like a hodgepodge of ideas and writing styles. Proposal models reinforce your consultative sales process and help your sales professionals think and write clearly.

10. Represent Your Company’s Quality Standards:

Understand that your sales proposal is a critical customer communication. Spend the time and effort needed on the content, design, and packaging to produce a “benchmark’ proposal for your buyers.

Tech Drive on the Road to Morocco Africa


Said El Mansour Cherkaoui Works on Africa and Morocco


Said El Mansour Cherkaoui, Ph.D.

saidcherkaoui@triconsultingkyoto.com

The following platforms represent the groups and Websites that Dr. Said El Mansour Cherkaoui has created and is managing to increase the visibility of Africa and Morocco and to draw interest in matters focusing on the needs of Africans and those that are necessary to build a Model of Development that will be tailored for each country in Africa in a way that set a suite of models that can be complementary in the sense to build an Economic African Space made of clusters and niches that can complete each other for the sake to make Africa self-sufficient and relying on its own regional productive, transformative and operational capacities, and financial and natural resources own by African nations.

Following the presentation of these groups and websites, you will be able to read about what Africa has achieved so far at the level of Technological drive and transformation of the ecosystem. We define the technology here not like a Casino where financiers are betting on the winning numbers or horses, we are focusing on building the real technological foundations that Africa needs to be at its level of change, progress, and development which can master its advances toward interiorizing its abilities to explore, discover and create new forms of technological applications and economic segments necessary not only to sell or transfer value but to form and expand the outreach of its technological creativity to the level of implementing an independent technological strategy and policies to protect its path toward a complete technological independence.

WEBSITES and SOCIAL MEDIA – GROUPS / PAGES CREATED and MANAGED by Dr. Said El Mansour Cherkaoui


English Version Francais

JUST FOR YOU – MY WORK and RESEARCH PUBLISHED

Websites I designed, built and where I publish articles, reports, and analyses on Morocco, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Asia, North and South America, and Asia.

Memories and Writers of Legacies are among my favorite personages and minds when I am writing about the treasures of humanity in my cultural background like in my inviting cultural environment.  A swing between dreams and memories is the night and the days for the exploration of ideas and models to pass to the new generation as historical human milestones in the road of existence of those who shed light on our own lives. 

My publications concentrate also on digital and techno-logistical changes with insights on the evolution and differentiation of business, trade, and finance applicable management models and socio-strategic implementations with consideration to economic development theories, concepts, and entrepreneurial planning and realizations. 

I focus on changes around the world what has an impact in decision-making and what can make a difference in the daily existence of communities, business organizations, institutional establishments and representative professional groups and political entities.

In my writings, I also give particular attention to areas, domains, and subjects that carry potential and prospective changes within their movement of transfer, connection, and inner transformation along with their evolution within new spheres of adaptation, interventions, and relinquishment of established alliances.

Maintaining the forces in presence in the balanced position of weakness is what enacts the movement of directing changes within a frame of antagonistic relationship, producing elements and instruments of control and definition of new relationships within and among these forces that are channeled toward dependency and reliance on external factors for their equilibrium.

This process is taking place within a frame of regional military conflict in parallel to financial and economic competition that are kept in a balance of weakness and an equilibrium that is controlled by external forces who have also their forces maintained in a balanced position of weakness. 

A cascade of control is spreading within various spheres of decision and interactions that are applied to economic sectors and financial instruments.
JUSTE POUR VOUS – MON TRAVAIL ET MES RECHERCHES PUBLIÉES
 Des sites que j’ai conçus, construits et où je publie pour vous des articles, reportages et analyses sur le Maroc, l’Afrique, le Moyen Orient, l’Europe, l’Asie, l’Amérique du Nord et du Sud et l’Asie. 

Les souvenirs et les écrivains d’héritages font partie de mes personnages et de mes esprits préférés lorsque j’écris sur les trésors de l’humanité dans mon propre milieu culturel comme dans mon environnement culturel hospitalier. Une oscillation entre les rêves et les souvenirs sont la nuit et les jours pour l’exploration des idéaux et des modèles à transmettre à la nouvelle génération comme jalons humains historiques dans le chemin de l’existence de celles et ceux qui éclairent notre propre vie. 

Mes publications se concentrent également sur les changements numériques et techno-logistiques avec un aperçu de l’évolution et de la différenciation des modèles de gestion applicables aux entreprises, du commerce, de la finance et des implémentations socio-stratégiques en tenant compte des théories, des concepts, de la planification et des réalisations entrepreneuriales concernant le développement économique. 

Je me concentre sur les changements dans le monde et ce qui a un impact sur la prise de décision et ce qui peut faire une différence dans l’existence quotidienne des communautés, des organisations d’entreprises, des établissements institutionnels et des groupes professionnels représentatifs et des entités politiques. 

Dans mes écrits, j’accorde également une attention particulière aux domaines, domaines et sujets porteurs de changements potentiels et prospectifs dans leur propre mouvement de transfert, de connexion et de transformation intérieure tout au long de leur évolution dans de nouvelles sphères d’adaptation, d’interventions et de remise en cause des alliances nouées. 

Maintenir les forces en présence en position d’équilibre de faiblesse est ce qui met en œuvre le mouvement d’orientation des changements dans un cadre de relation antagoniste, produisant des éléments et des instruments de contrôle et de définition de nouvelles relations à l’intérieur et entre ces forces qui sont en fait canalisées vers la dépendance. et le recours à des facteurs externes pour leur propre équilibre. 

Ce processus se déroule en fait dans un cadre de conflit militaire régional parallèlement à une concurrence acharnée financière et économique maintenue dans un équilibre de faiblesse et un équilibre contrôlé par des forces extérieures qui maintiennent aussi leurs propres forces dans une position équilibrée de faiblesse.

Une cascade de contrôle se déploie au sein de diverses sphères de décision et d’interactions qui s’appliquent aux secteurs économiques et aux instruments financiers.

 January 17, 2022  – Article written in English Le Maroc traîne dans le financement des Start-up en Afrique

A travers les projets d’entrepreneurs se réalisent des retombées économiques tant sur le plan de la creation d’entreprise mais aussi de l’emploi en plus du rôle de locomotive joué par les start-ups dans la stimulation des autres déjà existantes compagnies et par l’innovation scientifique et technologique dont toute la région et le pays peut directement et indirectement bénéficier.

Le mouvement de croissance des start-ups dans les pays tiers comme dans la Silicon Valley est un phénomène directement lié soit a l’existence d’un pool de diplômé/es ou bien a la présence d’incubateurs d’ordre académique et de centres de Recherche et Développement ou les aspirants aux diplômes comme les nouveaux diplômés essayent de créer des micro-entreprises et d’embrasser le chemin entrepreneurial au lieu d’opterer pour des postes dans des compagnies déjà établis. L’autre voie d’aventure pour ces nouveaux diplômées est celle de rester pres de l’action entrepreneuriale en rejoignant des start-ups en pleine croissance.

What if the future of modern trade is already in China?

Dr. Said El Mansour Cherkaoui as Advisor for China’s Regional Development of International Business and Trade Operations

Internet helps to save time with a high return on investment. Buying from a mobile and being delivered where you want is time and money-saving. Following a study, 75% of the Chinese population that browses on the internet, does it on a mobile phone. The other conclusion of the study is that there is an overlap between the population that uses the internet and social media and the consumers with purchasing power. With the most Internet users in the world, China has the world’s largest and fastest-growing social networks and e-commerce platforms. 

The national online retail sales of goods and services in China reached 1.4 trillion Yuan in the first quarter, 32,1% higher than in Q1 2016. In comparison, retail sales of the physical stores went up by 7.2% only. In many countries where one does not have often a say, online consumers have a say on social networks and can chat with each other and share experiences.

E-commerce market in China

Giving feedback on products, services, and brands, and their validation through ratings is a form of power that consumers have. This gives trust, transparency, and security, that institutions cannot always offer. Health care requires trust, transparency, and security. A McKinsey survey in 2017 showed that 65 % of online shoppers in China are seeking ways to lead a healthier lifestyle.

Next to being the largest e-commerce market, China is also the most innovative e-commerce in the world. Innovations such as mobile digital payment ecosystems, and virtual reality are probably key reasons for the rise of e-retail spending. It seems that this offers availability and value to customers even in rural markets. Incorporating digital payments into existing services will open up new markets for micro, small, and medium enterprises and transform the way people transact around the world, including developing countries. Innovative business models are required for e-commerce in areas where mobile digital payment ecosystems are not yet possible. Source:

Over the past twenty years, however, China has been progressing very rapidly. It is even the country in the world with the strongest economic growth. The GDP thus grew by 8.2% per year between 1975 and 2002 and by 8.6% per year between 1990 and 2002, a multiplication of 2.5 in 12 years, by almost 8 in 27 years! No other country can boast of such economic development which has placed the republic on the path which today makes it the second power in the world.

China: Yesterday Principles – Today Advanced Tech

Over the past two decades, China has become a manufacturing hub and the world’s largest exporter of goods, transforming from an emerging economy to an economic superpower.

According to the latest estimates of the economic outlook for IMF, the country will represent 18.8% of global GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) this year.  A figure up by more than 10 percentage points compared to the early 2000s, when the  United States and the European Union were still far ahead in economic production.

Over the past twenty years, the United States and major European economies have seen their superiority challenged by the emergence of new powers, such as China, India, and other countries. While the United States saw its share of global GDP decline from 19.8% to 15.8% between 2002 and 2022, that of the European Union fell from 19.9% ​​to 14.8% over the same period (keeping in mind that the United Kingdom’s exit from the EU also contributed to this decline).

The gap between China, the United States, and the EU is likely to widen in the coming years, as the outlook is rather bleak for the latter two economies, which are at risk of entering a recession, while the Chinese economy should be able to continue to post single-digit growth rates (close to 5%).

China is working on establishing all these milestones and beyond.

Battling China is the reward given to China as recognition of its outstanding performances realized during just 5 presidents du Developpement Global de la Chine – 4 Leaders Pieds de la Table de Jeu Technologique de la Chine and 50 years of hard work and devotion to national development policies and goals.

The Tea House in Guiyang, Guizhou Province, China – I LOVE CHINA AND ITS GREAT CIVILIZATION DEEP IN HISTORY, DEEP IN TIME AND CULTURE WITHOUT PRETENSE OR NOISE — with Said El Mansour Cherkaoui in Guiyang.


I was invited by the Chinese Government to facilitate the international expansion of Chinese companies and to provide training to the leaders of Chinese companies on the requirements of business internationalization and the development of logistics for market entry including distribution in Western Europe and the United States of America.

This invitation followed the organization of a 3-month training course that I had prepared in Oakland and Berkeley within the Center for International Trade Development (CITD) in collaboration with academic and professional institutions located in Oakland and Berkeley in the San Francisco Bay and Northern California.

These study and training programs provided to Chinese delegations were composed of businessmen, CEOs, and regional representatives of the authorities of central power. They were part of the cooperation agreements between China and the United States.

In fact, since 1995, I have established direct and consulting relationships with Chinese officials when I served as Vice President of the International Business Commission within the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. I also organized the visit of a delegation formed by members of research centers, businessmen, and leaders of the provinces of Yunnan, Dalian, and other regions of China.

Our prayers and thoughts go out to the valiant Chinese People for their recovery and for that of the People of this World currently suffering from this epidemic which we hope will be banished from all our memories and our human history by the scientific and divine will, Ameen.

Starbucks or Starburritos

Starbucks One Day, Will Be Creating a Subsidiary Named Starburritos

Leadership Modeling

Brian Niccol the New Electrifying Coffee Maker Jack of the Seven Trades Welch Unlike most of his subordinates, Brian Niccol also gets to work from a remote office in sunny Newport Beach, California. He agreed to commute to the coffee chain’s Seattle headquarters and travel as needed to do his job, the company said in a filing. Niccol’s current employer, Chipotle Mexican Grill, is in Newport Beach, California. That’s where Starbucks will pay for a remote office to be set up about 1,000 miles from Seattle. Niccol will keep hitting Golf balls nearby while White-collar employees at Starbucks were required at the beginning of 2023 to return to the office at least three days a week, a move that sparked backlash from some workers.

Americano is coming to Starbucks, Cinnamon and Chocolate will be at frontpage and some may be down the road, we have a touch of Tequila to perfume the new atmosphere welcoming the New Patron-Boss who will have a very tough job coming into a company furlough, store closings and to lay off half the workforce – First on line Unionized Barista and citifying the Drinks, then jumping out with a golden parachute, not from the Golden Gate but from Rossellini Bridge—Evergreen Point bridge while looking at the Stars along the beautiful view: Bellevue, Washington.

Starbucks has made a huge faulty move already, by having picked the wrong CEO which is going to cost Starbucks dearly. Starbucks is poised to pony up a sum of money for at least $120 million, and perhaps millions more, to swap Laxman Narasimhan for Brian Niccol. Do You Starbucks your Dark Sweet Hot Water Drink with Sirop Named Coughing High Priced Coofeenone Again: Would $163 million be so sickening for you? The sum is roughly 11,000 times more than the median Starbucks employee earns.

Would $163 million be so sickening for you?

Hyperinflated CEO pay is a tertiary symptom of capitalism’s malignancy. The sum is roughly 11,000 times more than the median Starbucks employee earns.

How much is this going to cost the Starbucks customer? The cost of these Special Starbucks drinks is already exorbitant.

We have to keep in mind, that Chipotle is not Mexican Food, it is mesmerizing the competitors of the Taco Truck Chain and Taco Bell who run out of sight and grow like the mushrooms they use in their salads.

So the Taco Truck had to move out of sight and hide near liquor stores and gas stations, or parks, or driving Miss Carlota and Jose Crazy going around the blocks looking for construction sites. Taco Bell could not cross the border anymore, stuck by the flood of immigrants at the Sacred Walled border from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Therefore, Chipotle had empty lands where to grow a culture of middle-class managers still identifying the cultural diversity in food taking. They can eat “Mexican Food with California Touch” and learn and speak Spanglish from the menu.

Trade-wise, The four years witnessed escalating trade tensions culminating in a trade war and sanctions on Chinese technology companies. Since Biden’s election, political and business stakeholders have been paying close attention to the direction of the new White House administration’s policy toward China.

China Puzzled by U.S. Politics System

China Leaders cannot apprehend the Indirect Debate between Democrats and Republicans and how American People are Navigating between the Waves and Stormy Weather that the Media Stimulates According to their Perception of the Polls.

The Democratic Party gathered from August 19th to 22nd to celebrate the nomination of Kamala Harris as its presidential candidate and her selection of Tim Walz as her running-mate.

Chinese officials and analysts are struggling. A woman who has never visited China and who has only briefly met its leader, Xi Jinping, has suddenly emerged as a serious contender in the race for the White House.

For China’s rulers, the ascent of the Harris-Walz ticket creates difficulties in dealing with:

It has triggered a scramble to assess how a Harris administration might approach China relations. So, Chinese officials and analysts are struggling. A woman who has never visited China and who has only briefly met its leader, Xi Jinping, has suddenly emerged as a serious contender in the race for the White House.

In recent years, China has publicly criticized the U.S.-led, dollar-based international economic order, calling it to replace the dollar as the premier currency for settlements, invoices, and foreign exchange reserves. China has even promoted a new “multipolar” world order split between itself and the U.S.

Since 2008, the U.S. has talked about decoupling from China. Arguments cite the U.S.’s trade deficit with China and China’s intellectual property theft, currency manipulation, human rights abuses, maritime law violations in the South China Sea, and more.

Financially, however, neither country has seriously moved to decouple.

In possession of $1.05 trillion of low-return U.S. Treasury securities, China’s central bank has tried to diversify its portfolio but must continue buying these securities to create demand for the dollar, which boosts its value relative to the renminbi, making Chinese exports more competitive and preserving the value of its central bank’s dollar-denominated holdings.

Nor has the U.S. begun to decouple financially from China, whose purchases of Treasury securities paper over the U.S. trade deficit.

But whether the U.S. and China are decoupling in trade is more complicated.

The U.S. and China are economically interdependent. The U.S. is China’s largest export market, and China is the U.S.’s largest import market. China relies on the U.S. for roughly $580 billion of exports per year, total foreign direct investments of $124 billion, joint ventures in high-growth industries, and more. The U.S. relies on China for economic growth in investments, people flow, idea flows, and trade in key industries. Estimates suggest that decoupling would cost the American aviation industry up to $875 billion by 2038; the semiconductor industry up to $159 billion and 100,000 jobs; the medical services industry more than $479 billion over the next decade; and more.

However, China is transitioning to a value-added, high-growth, high-tech economic model to replace its cheap manufactured goods export-led model, which is suffering from increasing labor prices. China wants to establish its companies as leaders in sectors like 5G, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and more. They desire the rents of technological leaders and control over strategic sectors that shape the on-ramping and growth of technology.

In response, the U.S. is attempting to stymie the development of Chinese technology, in part by levying export controls against U.S. manufacturers of technologies such as semiconductors and import controls against the purchase of Chinese technology like Huawei smartphones.

Education in USA, France, and Morocco

While small businesses in booming, small colleges are closing.  More than 500 private, nonprofit four-year colleges have closed in the past decade, and that pace is expected to pick up if the number of students continues to decline. Small liberal arts colleges are most at risk, and the consequences of closures are stark: Less than 50% of students attending schools that shut down from 2004 to 2020 continued their academic journey. Every business starts small and Small businesses’ impact on the global economy represents over 90% of companies worldwide. However, it’s a sobering fact that approximately 20% of small businesses do not make it past their first year. 

The small business boom shows no signs of abating. So far this year, 3.02 million new business applications have been filed in the USA, which puts entrepreneurship at near record levels. The presence and the business practices of giants like Amazon create insurmountable challenges for smaller businesses underscoring the importance of supporting and sustaining small businesses, which are vital to innovation, job creation, and the diversity of our economy.

The economic recession washing the Western economies has forced to Americans to develop skills for entrepreneurship which has reached near-record levels despite a tough business environment. Americans are turning to entrepreneurship at near record levels despite a tough business environment instead of pursuing an education to pursue a professional and corporate career.  The time of the Job Fairs taking place inside of the Universities to recruit the Cream of the Cream is over.  It is entrepreneurship and self-reliance that is taking place. 

Universities feeling the changing of the wind direction, are creating and promoting new waves of instruction and training in the form of academic certificates and diplomas: Entrepreneurship and Social Entrepreneurship to lure new and mature students to increase the enrollment in which tuition is reaching new highs.  The academic department of Admissions and Registration considers that increasing tuition or offering courses with tuition is a sign of quality that positions them among the top prestigious universities.

Toujours plus d’offres de formations. Plus de chercheurs de haut vol coûtant de plus en plus cher dans un mercato des professeurs devenu mondial. Et des budgets de communication de plus en plus importants pour attirer de plus en plus d’étudiants étrangers et lever des fonds auprès d’anciens élèves ayant réussi leur carrière…

Par le durcissement de la compétition entre écoles, les classements poussent à la convergence de leurs modèles économiques « vers le haut », se rapprochant du modèle des grandes universités américaines, c’est-à-dire vers toujours plus de dépenses. Cette logique de course à la taille, dans un spectaculaire mimétisme stratégique, conduit à l’explosion du coût de la formation : de 2005 à 2017, les frais de scolarité du master de management d’HEC sont passés de 14 860 à 36 000 euros pour 18 mois. A l’ESCP, de 14 800 euros pour 24 mois à 35 800 euros pour 18 mois.

Les salaires des jeunes diplômés augmentent, mais moins que le coût des formations

Certes, comme le souligne Eric Cornuel, directeur général de l’accréditeur des business schools européennes, l’EFMD, « les droits des écoles européennes restent inférieurs à ceux demandés par les grandes universités américaines et leur rendement est bien meilleur pour les étudiants ». Quant aux salaires à la sortie du master, ils ont nettement augmenté : pour les diplômés d’HEC, le salaire pondéré est passé de 60 745 dollars par an en 2005 à 99 145 dollars en 2017, soit un bond de 63 %. Et pour ceux de l’ESCP, de 54 854 à 78 215 dollars, soit une hausse de 42 %.

Analyse : Les effets de la course aux classements Ajouter à vos sélections

Cela montre que les salaires à la sortie ont beaucoup moins progressé que les droits de scolarité, se traduisant même par un fort recul du rapport qualité-prix de ces écoles, comme mesuré par le bien cruel « value for money » du Financial Times : HEC est passée de la 14e à la 34e place, tandis que l’ESCP a reculé de la 18e à la 55e place. Des salaires qui, de surcroît, progressent moins vite que ceux obtenus par les anciens élèves des écoles concurrentes, comme l’a révélé le dernier classement du FT sur les masters en management.

La qualité de l’enseignement, qu’un contexte très concurrentiel pousse toujours plus vers le haut, se répercute sur les frais de scolarité. Mais pas toujours sur les salaires de leurs diplômés…

Analyse : Les effets de la course aux classements Ajouter à vos sélections

Cela montre que les salaires à la sortie ont beaucoup moins progressé que les droits de scolarité, se traduisant même par un fort recul du rapport qualité-prix de ces écoles, comme mesuré par le bien cruel « value for money » du Financial Times : HEC est passée de la 14e à la 34e place, tandis que l’ESCP a reculé de la 18e à la 55e place. Des salaires qui, de surcroît, progressent moins vite que ceux obtenus par les anciens élèves des écoles concurrentes, comme l’a révélé le dernier classement du FT sur les masters en management.

Cette année, pour la première fois, ce dernier a intégré l’augmentation du salaire sur les trois premières années de carrière. Ce nouveau critère a suscité l’émoi dans les directions des écoles françaises qui, se voyant brutalement rétrogradées de plusieurs places (sur ce seul critère, HEC est 67e, l’ESCP 50e), y ont vu l’empreinte des manœuvres anti-européennes marquées du syndrome du Brexit…

Rendements décroissants

Si les salaires suivaient, on pourrait dire que cette course vers l’excellence résulte bien des seuls besoins d’un marché de l’emploi aux exigences de plus en plus élevées et qu’elle est à la hauteur des investissements réalisés par les élèves. Une évolution qui ne serait que vertueuse puisqu’elle traduirait une montée en gamme du marché comme des élites. C’est en partie le cas.

Mais les salaires ne suivent pas tout à fait. Cela signifie donc que ce modèle, qui repose sur des investissements de plus en plus élevés − HEC engage 14 millions par an pour rester numéro un de ces classements − est entré dans la phase des rendements décroissants. « Tant qu’elles sont en tête de liste, les cinq à dix premières peuvent encore augmenter leurs frais de scolarité, estime Loïck Roche, président du Chapitre. Mais, sur les grandes écoles de management françaises, une dizaine ne font plus le plein car elles sont déjà trop chères pour leur classement. » Si les écoles ont monté en qualité, leur course à la taille serait-elle une fuite en avant ?

Utilisant comme référence le système Prussien d’Éducation du citoyen individualisé, l’Education doit donc former le citoyen discipliné, intégré dans la conformité de la logique de la production et de la consommation des choix qui est déjà délimitée par et dans le cadre constitutionnel régulant les relations citoyennes et les lois de l’offre et la demande conditionnant le marché tant local qu’international. Ce Citoyen Modal – Modèle et éduqué ne se rapproche d’aucune appartenance idéologique contraire au cadre institutionnel qui lui fournit les raisons éducationnelles de son émancipation individuelle et sociale dans le cadre du régime, de l’ordre et des loi établis.

Dans cette perspective, le secteur privé de l’éducation dans le reste des pays occidentaux adoptant le libéralisme outrancier cherche a tout prix de privatiser l’enseignement universitaire a l’image des Etats Unis. Ce genre de pays abrite donc une éducation et des institutions qui traversent une de leurs plus graves crise de crédibilité et de légitimité ainsi que de rentabilité. Vu que la multiplication des cours offerts y compris virtuel et la force première de leurs stratégies demeurant l’accroissement de leurs revenus et leurs profits, la qualité des cours s’amenuise et la livraison des diplômes avait connu une inflation et un accroissement des prix d’enregistrement de scolarisation au niveau des Lycées et des universités.

La Boule de Neige de la dette et le Bout de l’Iceberg des Prêts des Étudiants envers l’Éducation Privée et cela en grande partie juste les Frais d’inscriptions dans les Universités aux Etats-Unis d’Amérique.

L’autre effet était la multiplication et l’accroissement continuel de l’endettement des étudiants poursuivant des chimères en dépensant des sommes faramineuses empruntées pour seulement une illusion du savoir et une promesse d’emploi dans les nuages.

Le Poids écrasant l’Étudiant par la Dette Estudiantine Académique

Ce double handicap et ce défi rendaient la monétarisation des diplômes au niveau du marché du travail et de l’acquisition d’emploi une tache très ardue qui dévalorisa les diplômes distribués comme des patates chaudes.

Les « Pauvres Étudiants » enterrés sous le poids du Dollar de la Dette Individuelle pour les prêts Universitaire et de la Dette des Cartes de Crédit et et de la Dette Fédérale des Etats Unis d’Amérique

Reste aussi le côté coût et prix qui s’enflamme et dont l’inflation les rend encore plus Select au niveau de ceux qui peuvent les accéder et peuvent se les permettre au même titre qu’un acte d’achat de ces produits de luxe que la grande consommation n’est point leur but mais plutôt la réputation d’élite qui les rend enviable auprès des masses.

C’est le même reflet de démonstration pour ce qui est ces « Grandes Universités de Renom » qui ne font que fabriquer d’après des Élites et des Tête Pensantes Extraordinaires alors que vraiment si ces Universités [Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Tufts, Hopkins, Columbia, MIT, Stanford] étaient tellement et authentiquement ce qu’elle réclament comme Top Quality education, je me poses les questions suivantes:

– Pourquoi, l’économie des Etats Unis d’Amérique qui malgré la présence de tous ces génies dans la nature universitaire n’arrive pas a sortir de la crise?

– Pourquoi, l’économie des Etats Unis d’Amérique, n’arrive pas ni freiner le vidange des villes de leurs secteurs manufacturier et l’enracinement de l’épidémie a deux contagions du chômage et la violence, ni les guerres extérieures et les crises sociales et culturelles a l’intérieur des foyers américains ainsi que les déséquilibres régionaux et budgétaires et financiers de tous les comptes des balances des Etats et de l’Etat Fédéral?

Par contre aux Etats Unis d’Amérique et selon le quotidien Américain USA Today dont le titre approprié est : “College graduates struggle to repay student loans” indiquent que les étudiants américains s’endettent en moyenne à hauteur de 27 000 $ à 114 000 $ suivant les universités et les études.

Le Poids écrasant l’Etudiant par la Dette Estudiantine Académique

« Il faut compter pour une université publique, 6 585 Dollars en moyenne par année en tant que résident américain, et 25 143 Dollars pour une université privé.

(Je donne la précision des tarifs pour des étudiants américains, car un pour un étudiant étranger, il faut encore multiplier par 3 voire 4 selon l’université).

Sachant, qu’il faut compter en moyenne 4 années d’études supérieures pour obtenir un Bachelor’s Degree (Équivalent d’une maîtrise), ces chiffres doivent donc être encore multipliés par 4.

Donc, il faut compter avec environ 26 000 Dollars dans le public et plus de 100 000 Dollars dans le privé, rien qu’en frais de scolarité.

La Boule de Neige de la dette et le Bout de l’Iceberg des Prêts des Etudiants envers l’Education Privée et cela en grande partie juste les Frais s’inscriptions dans les Universités aux Etats-Unis d’Amérique.

Pour ceux qui lorgnent sur un Master’s Degree (Équivalent d’un DESS), il faut alors encore compter une année supplémentaire à un tarif encore supérieur à celui pour un Bachelor’s Degree. » Fin de citation, source le lien ci-dessous.

Avec un tel gain, il est tout a fait clair que le lobby de ces institutions poussent partout a la privatisation de l’enseignement dans lequel ils identifient les nouvelles formes de spéculation et de hauts gains sans aucune perte puisque le gouvernement en reste le garant des prêts accordés aux Etudiants.

Par contre et a titre « [d’] information, à titre de comparaison, je précise que le système éducatif en Finlande, dont le niveau est un des plus élevé en Europe, voire au monde, offre une scolarité à un coût de…0 Euros. Mieux, il y a mise en place gratuite de cantines, de bus de ramassage, de livres et de cours particulier, le tout avec un échec scolaire proche de …0. » Source citée a la fin du texte.

Le Maroc dans le Tourbillon Français du Libéralisme et de la Privatisation de la Dépression Éducative: Le Modèle Prussien-Américain

Au Maroc, le système éducatif d’Élite privée poursuivit demeure Américanisé et Européanisé alors que la structure d’embauche et d’opération des entreprises demeure de prédominance française, créant ainsi un déphasage entre la formation et l’insertion professionnelle.

On assiste des lors a la confection de diplômés par des universités privées anglophones qui ne trouvent des emplois que dans des Call Centers vu leur pratique de l’Anglais et non en concordance avec le reste du programme de leurs études.

Change Management and Change of Leadership: Strategic Operational Innovation

Leadership Modeling

After graduating from Miami University in Ohio, Chipotle CEO Brian Niccol began his career in brand management at Procter & Gamble, where he worked for a decade.

In November 2005, he pivoted to food, where he’s been ever since.

Chipotle Mexican Grill tapped Niccol, then 44, for the top job in February 2018, when the brand was in crisis, weathering a lowered stock price, a drop in customers, and an unfortunate handful of foodborne illness outbreaks, which resulted in a $25 million federal fine.

On Tuesday, Starbucks named Niccol as CEO and chairman of the coffee chain, replacing Laxman Narasimhan after just over a year in the role.

Niccol starts his new role on Sept. 9, the company said in a statement.

The move of Brian Niccol from Chipotle to Starbucks without transition speaks loudly about the devotion and the sense of high fidelity of all the speeches made during the tenure of the CEO position in a given company that does not last and translate into staying with the same company for just building a successful enterprise that can be a model of loyalty and model of sincere adhesion to the principles expressed and presented as the beliefs of the leadership.

Leadership in America is similar to expanding a presence in a given market that is driven by the opportunities existing in the new territory, new market, or new opportunity.


What are your thoughts on this leadership change?

Brian Niccol the New Electrifying Coffee Maker Jack of the Seven Trades Welch Unlike most of his subordinates, Brian Niccol also gets to work from a remote office in sunny Newport Beach, California. He agreed to commute to the coffee chain’s Seattle headquarters and travel as needed to do his job, the company said in a filing.

Niccol’s current employer, Chipotle Mexican Grill, is in Newport Beach, California. That’s where Starbucks will pay for a remote office to be set up about 1,000 miles from Seattle.

Niccol will keep hitting Golf balls nearby while White-collar employees at Starbucks were required at the beginning of 2023 to return to the office at least three days a week, a move that sparked backlash from some workers.

Americano is coming to Starbucks, Cinnamon and Chocolate will be at frontpage and some may be down the road, we have a touch of Tequila to perfume the new atmosphere welcoming the New Patron-Boss who will have a very tough job coming into a company furlough, store closings and to lay off half the workforce – First on line Unionized Barista and citifying the Drinks, then jumping out with a golden parachute, not from the Golden Gate but from Rossellini Bridge—Evergreen Point bridge while looking at the Stars along the beautiful view: Bellevue, Washington.

TRI CK USA – COFFEE BREAK – CASE-STUDY – STARBUCKS

Starbucks has made a huge faulty move already, by having picked the wrong CEO which is going to cost Starbucks dearly. Starbucks is poised to pony up a sum of money for at least $120 million, and perhaps millions more, to swap Laxman Narasimhan for Brian Niccol.

Do You Starbucks your Dark Sweet Hot Water Drink with Sirop Named Coughing High Priced Coofeenone Again:

Hyperinflated CEO pay is a tertiary symptom of capitalism’s malignancy.

Would $163 million that will be given to Brian Niccol be so sickening for you?

The sum is roughly 11,000 times more than the median Starbucks employee earns.

How much is this going to cost the Starbucks customer?

The cost of these Special Starbucks drinks is already exorbitant as is the case at Chipotle Mexican Grill

Very upset with the Chipotle portion size of a burrito $10 for this is just ridiculous

I will consider going elsewhere if they are going to continue with this

GO GET STARBURRITO OR STARBURO AT STARBUCKS


We have to keep in mind, that Chipotle is not Mexican Food, it is mesmerizing the competitors of the Taco Truck Chain and Taco Bell who run out of sight and grow like the mushrooms they use in their salads.

It is like Disneyland with Aladin is from Saudi Arabia or the Lion King is from the Savanah. And if you believe in that, you should consider Blanche Neige as an American Fable.

Brian Niccol at Chipotle and the Fight of the Salary Increase

Brian Niccol, as CEO of Chipotle Mexican Grill, has raised prices six times since 2021 and kept them high — even as costs flattened.

Corporate profits hit an all-time high in 2023. Profit margins were at levels not seen in decades. It just so happens that in 75% of US industries, fewer companies control more of the business than 20 years ago. Minimal competition means maximized price-gouging.



From Chipolte to Starbucks: From Pollo Loco to Cafeco Solo Americano

Starbucks did not hire the CEO of Chipotle for his good management competencies and skills, it was for his squeezing the drive through of the legislation that could increase the power to the workers and their representatives.

The rise in the California minimum wage from $16 to $20, which only affects fast food workers, equates to about a 20% jump for Chipotle labor costs in the state. To counteract lost profit margins, Chipotle raised menu prices by 6% to 7% in its roughly 500 California restaurants, compared to 2023 prices. The uptick affects menu-wide items and does not apply to Chipotle restaurants outside the Golden State.

California labor-cost increases, and subsequent higher menu prices, seem minimally impactful for Chipotle, considering its recent earnings report for the first quarter of 2024. The company revealed increased comparable restaurant sales of 7%, with a total revenue increase of 14.1%. The chain also opened 47 new fast-casual locations in that quarter alone, with plans for up to 315 more by year’s end. Nonetheless, Chipotle didn’t let California Assembly Bill 1228 take effect without a fight.

Chipotle and its fast-food cohorts across the state successfully obtained a ballot referendum for 2024, raising $71.8 million, partially in loans by outside interests. However, an eventual compromise evolved into the new AB 1228 legislation, which includes the $20 minimum fast-food wage and the establishment of the Fast Food Council. The law is now officially in effect, resulting in an estimated overall increase of 10% in menu costs, and counting, across dozens of California fast-casual chains. That comes on the heels of a reported 29% rise in fast food prices nationwide over four years since 2019.

So the Taco Truck had to move out of sight and hide near liquor stores and gas stations, or parks, or driving Miss Carlota and Jose Crazy going around the blocks looking for construction sites.

Taco Bell could not cross the border anymore, stuck by the flood of immigrants at the Sacred Walled border from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Therefore, Chipotle had empty lands where to grow a culture of middle-class managers still identifying the cultural diversity in food taking. They can eat “Mexican Food with California Touch” and learn and speak Spanglish from the menu.

To All Members of Our DIASPORA OF AFRICAN EXECUTIVES

Silver Screen Shot on the Projection of Inter-National and Inter-Cultural Lights

All the pleasure is for my definition of human relationships and joy as my first name indicates to offer you such a shortcut around the World of Business and Regional Human Cultures, which is in fact only the end of the Atlas – The Peak of the Atlas Mountain – the Place of the Birth of my Own Ancestors. The best is still to come.

My writing below is a “personalized” professional testimony conveying a multiplier dedication to adapting to the variety of operational references and responding to the diversity of opportunities and the human environment in which the local business conditions and regional and national practices of the predominant relational culture.

Thus, my roles and office functions were more and encompassed more of the single and simple honorable profession of an actor or director but embraced realistic and surrealistic aspects of global scope while identifying in the panorama of the territorial affairs of California and the United States of America – Designed in California and Made in the USA and presented by Said Cherkaoui Ph.D..

While the international scene and framework on which I continue to this day my stagings and performances remain direct, spontaneous, derived, and driven by my deep desire to lay foundations of rapprochement and bridges of communications between countries distant entities, neighboring entities, and distant organizations as well as individuals from various similar and non-identical backgrounds.

I contributed a lot to the San Francisco World Trade Center and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce for decades both in San Francisco and in Oakland, California, with my work and my achievements on the international level during the period in which I been in the CITD and since then I continue to sail beyond the horizons of the Pacific and other shores in this time close in conjugation and distant in expression.

To conclude in style and combine business with pleasure, I am going to add more salt or spices to my international recipes simmered in English but fashioned in the style of Jacques (without any) Pépin and Paul Bocuse (not from Vaucluse) and where you can also taste the flavor of Senegal (Rahma wa Ghofrane} like other regions of the rest of Africa and this according to your choice first through and in the content of this link which can also give you more appetite for reading my other adjacent, corresponding and complementary publications in the staging of a constructive memory and a renovating present for intelligent solutions adaptable to current challenges, prospective requirements and potential risks, such is the destiny of my work and my contribution to this common destiny of existence.

Do not hesitate to share with me your impressions, remarks, initiatives, and opportunities for transatlantic and trans-African collaboration.

Best wishes to you for success.

Tout le plaisir est pour ma definition des rapport humains et de la joie comme mon prénom l’indique de vous offrir un tel raccourci autour du Monde des Affaires et des Cultures Humaines Régionales, qui n’est en fait que le bout de l’Atlas – The Peak of the Atlas Mountain – the Place of the Birth of my Own Ancestors. The best is still to come.

Mon écrit ci-dessous est un témoignage professionnel “personnalisé” véhiculant une dedication multiplicatrice s’adaptant à la variété des références opérationnelles et répondant à la diversité des opportunités et de l’environnement humain dans lequel s’est traduit et s’est imbibé des conditions locales des affaires [Business] et les pratiques régionales et nationales de la culture relationnelle prédominante.

Ainsi, mes rôles et fonctions d’office étaient plus et s’englobaient davantage de la seule et simple profession honorable d’un acteur ou de metteur en scène mais embrassent des allures réalistes et surréalistes de portée globale tout en s’identifiant dans le panorama des étendues d’affaires territoriales de la Californie et des Etats Unis d’Amérique – Designed in California and Made in USA and presented by Said Cherkaoui Ph.D..

Alors que la scène et la trame internationales sur laquelle je continues jusqu’à ce jour mes mises en scéne et performances demeurent directes, spontanées, dérivées et conduites par mon profond désir d’étaler des fondations de rapprochement et des ponts de communications entre les contrées lointaines, les entités voisines et les organisations distantes ainsi que les individus de divers horizons similaires et non identiques.

I contributed lot to the San Francisco World Trade Center and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce et cela pour des decennies tant a San Francisco qu’a Oakland en Californie, avec mon travail et mes réalisations sur le plan international durant la période ou j’ai été dans le CITD et que depuis lors je continues a voguer par dela les horizons du Pacifique et autres rivages en ce temps proche dans la conjugaison et distant dans l’expression.

Pour conclure en beauté et joindre l’utile a l’agréable, je vais ajouter plus de sel ou d’épices à mes recettes internationales mijotées en Anglais mais façonnées a la Jacques (sans aucun) Pépin et Paul Bocuse (pas du Vaucluse) et oû vous pouvez aussi goûter la saveur du Sénégal (Rahma wa Ghofrane} comme des autres régions du reste de l’Afrique et cela selon votre choix en premier a travers et dans le contenu de ce lien qui pourra aussi vous donner plus d’appétit pour la lecture de mes autres publications adjacentes, correspondantes et complémentaires dans la mise en scène d’une mémoire constructive et d’un présent rénovateur pour des solutions intelligentes adaptables aux défis et courantes, aux exigences prospectives et aux risques potentiels, tel est le destin de mon labeur et de mon apport dans cette destinée commune d’existence.

N’hésitez pas de partager avec moi vos impressions, remarques, initiatives et opportunités de collaboration transatlantique comme transafricaine.

Bien a vous avec mes souhaits de réussite.

International Conference on Africa and AGOA, Berkeley, California, USA

Since my early studies at Institut des Etudes Politiques of the Grenoble University, the development, and integration of Africa were at the forefront of my studies and topics of my presentations in seminaries and essay papers. It was natural that I continue to work and increase awareness about Africa and its need to establish new kinds of relations with countries other than the past metropolitan and colonialists.

I extended the invitation to Dr. Boubacar N’diaye for his presence among us at this International Conference on Africa.  He was delighted about my presentation and we also sat together and had lunch at the same table.  Wonderful Man with full love for Africa and Africans and who initiated a series of important financial and operational measures: the African Businessmen Round Table, the creation of the African Bank for import-export (Afreximbank), and the setting up of special easy financing for the African private sector (investors and entrepreneurs) without the guarantee of their governments.

Here below among other pictures, there is a photo taken in the company with the Regretted Dr. Babacar Ndiaye, former CEO of the African Development Bank Group who holds firmly my hand and is standing at my left side.

On my right hand is Dr. Faheem Director of the Center for International Trade Development, on the other left side and holding my hand is Dr. Boubacar N’diaye, Chairman of the African Development Bank from 1985 to 1995 and honorary chairman of the same institution (Rest in Peace among the Blessed ones, Ameen)

I initiated and developed a work plan on the organization of The International Conference on Africa took place in 2001. The first time in the history of the Bay Area of San Francisco and North California to have a conference of such magnitude and subject. that I submitted to Fazale Sharif the Director of the EBCITD which I was the initiator and for which I and participated directly in its organization. I contacted and invited Dr. Babacar Ndiaye and in the following photo, event/photo took place is during an International Conference on Africa I had organized in Oakland, California and of which Dr. Babacar Ndiaye, Rahimahu Allah was our Guest of Honor.

Here below are listed links which content present among others some illustrations of my activities with the Integration of Africa with which I was directly involved, including the facilitation of the signing of the Free Trade Agreement between the United States and Morocco.

For many among us, time flies through horizons without leaving traces on recognition and gratitude on what we have achieved for the good for others especially in my case not be born in the United States but I remain up to now the maker of differences between cultures and the guardian of the memories I cherish and remember through my meetings and interactions with the real treasuries of the Humanity.
