Cyberattack Hits U.S. Based Vulnerable Auto Dealers Again

6/20/2024 11:03 AM

U.S. auto dealers are vulnerable to an another setback on Thursday june 20, 2024 as software provider CDK Global was hit by a second cyberattack. CDK, which serves about 15,000 auto dealerships, shut down its systems again and said it doesn’t have an estimate for when the software will be restored. The first cyberattack began early Wednesday, on what would normally be a busy holiday for dealers. The system was back up and running late Wednesday before hackers struck again, leading to a second day of disruption.

According to a 2022 study conducted by IBM, the average cost of a data breach is currently $4.35 million, an increase of 12.7% from the number cited in IBM’s 2020 report. The use of ransomware continues to increase and new threats emerge every day. 

What is the average cost of a data breach in 2022?
$4.35 million – Reaching an all-time high, the average cost of a data breach globally was $4.45 million in 2023, representing a 2.25% increase from 2022, when the average cost was $4.35 million. Mar 6, 2024

Cyberattack Hits U.S. Based Vulnerable Auto Dealers Again and Again. Is this part of Cyber Artificial Intelligent Warfare taking place for the supremacy on the innovation strategy pusued by established corporations and their invisible competitors that are taking advantage not of the market opportunities that needs major and overhall knowledge, finance and intelligent workforce plus continual adaption to differents an evolving demands in various cultural and political as well as economic and financial settings.

An attack on corporations who have already completed this drive are the new market to target and exploit for profit without a heavy investment, time and space. Such strategic trajectory can be considered also as the second dark and hidden face of the technological development and the other cutting edge of the artificial intelligence sword.

African Countries such as Morocco, identify in Artificial Intelligence as an all “One Solution that Fits and Resolves” all the Problems of Underdevelopement, underuse and underexploitation of the human and natural resources without taking in consideration the extensive needs for new source of energy for the Data Centers and the protection of these Data Centers. Hosted companies who have build their own data centers are adding more demands on energy and are actually the target of this launch of repetitive hacking attacks.

The spread around the world of these enterprising hackers are applying the adage “if the Customer does not come to you, we go to the Customer” an approach that enhanced and drove the E-Commerce and E-Trade and now the E-Hacking Business. So if the ‘Corporations does not come to you, so let go hack these corporations in their own house / data centers”.

Artificial Intelligence, Cyberattacks and Cybersecurity

The repeated cyberattacks on vulnerable U.S. auto dealerships indeed raise important questions about the intersection of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI), and strategic warfare.

AI and Cybersecurity:

  • AI is increasingly important for enhancing back-office processes and customer service in various industries, including auto dealerships.
  • However, it also expands the reach of cyber threats, such as phishing attacks, which can compromise sensitive data and disrupt operations.

Strategic Warfare and Corporate Targets:

  • The scenario you describe highlights a strategic trajectory where cybercriminals target established corporations that have already completed their innovation drives.
  • These attacks aim to exploit vulnerabilities without heavy investments, leveraging the dark and hidden face of technological development.

Energy Needs and Data Centers:

  • You rightly point out that the extensive needs for energy in data centers are often overlooked. As AI adoption grows, data centers play a critical role, but their energy demands must be addressed.
  • Countries like Morocco, which identify AI as a solution for development challenges, need to balance AI adoption with sustainable energy sources for data centers.

Security Enhancement

Enhancing cybersecurity measures is crucial for companies to protect against cyber threats. Here are some practical steps they can take:

Advocate a Security Culture:

Keep Applications and Systems Updated: Regularly patch software and operating systems to address vulnerabilities and stay protected.

Maintain Current Backups: Regularly back up critical data to prevent data loss in case of an attack.

Restrict Access: Limit access to sensitive systems and data. Implement strong access controls and user permissions.

Deploy Next-Generation Firewalls: Use advanced firewalls to monitor and filter network traffic, blocking malicious activity.

Use Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware Software: Install and update security software to detect and prevent malware infections.

Track Emerging Threats: Foster a security mindset among employees. Everyone should prioritize security in their daily activities. Stay informed about new cyber threats and adjust security measures accordingly.

Password-Protect Mobile Devices and Wi-Fi Networks: Secure mobile devices and Wi-Fi networks with strong passwords to prevent unauthorized access. Remember that a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy aligned with company objectives and regulatory compliance is essential in today’s evolving landscape.

Resulting Direct Human Tragedy from Hackings

There is a women who his brother was one of the prominent technologist and was working in the UAE and there was approached by a recruiter and offered a lavish salary and he was hosted in luxury hotels and invited to highly reserved and select restaurants and beach resort in Asia before taken to a remote area in Burma or somewhere near by in warehouses were the conditions of work is a complete confinment with others kidnapped technologist and their conditions of work is the worse that can be described and their work is completing focusing on hacking companies around the world. Is the Sister of this technologist who asking government of her nationality to rescue her brother.

Kidnapped Technologists and Cybercrime

  • The case of the kidnapped technologists in Burma sheds light on the other side of technological advancement.
  • These criminal networks exploit skilled professionals, forcing them to work under harsh conditions, including hacking companies globally.

Sister’s Plea for Rescue:

  • The sister’s plea for her brother’s rescue underscores the urgent need for international cooperation in addressing cybercrime and protecting technologists from exploitation.

The convergence of AI, cybersecurity, and strategic interests creates complex challenges. Governments and organizations must collaborate to safeguard critical infrastructure, protect professionals, and ensure responsible AI adoption.

Sypnosis on the Kingdom of Morocco’s New Development Strategy for Investment

Morocco is setting a frame and components that can be multiple and diverse in their local content, and regional determinations like in their external and global objectives. This strategy is oriented by the selection of leading mining resources, industrial sectors, and technological and energy-based productions that are becoming the focus and reasons for international heated competition. These advanced areas of design and development are the topics and the objectives that differentiate the level of technological and self-sustainability masteries and sector productive leadership between nations in their drive to set new rules for governance as an alternative to the failed globalization which did not respond to local, regional, national, and “inter-nations” geostrategic interests” but impose more competitive and war-driven interventions as regulation of the flow of natural and primary resources needed to fuel such global expansion made without cushion and safety social nets and ideological and political remedies.

Morocco’s drive is a response to these interferences and moves to rejection and adhesion of nations in new identification of competitive forms. Morocco is positioning its economy and external alliances as a regional liaison, a conduit of dialogue, an ally interlocutor, and a business negotiator within balanced the weakness into forces between spheres of influence and clusters of changes.

Morocco has ratified 72 investment treaties for the promotion and protection of investments and 62 economic agreements, including with the United States and most EU nations, that aim to eliminate the double taxation of income or gains. Morocco is the only country on the African continent with a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States, eliminating tariffs on more than 95 percent of qualifying consumer and industrial goods.

The Government of Morocco plans to phase out tariffs for some products through 2030. The FTA supports Morocco’s goals to develop as a regional financial and trade hub, providing opportunities for the localization of services and the finishing and re-export of goods to markets in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Since the U.S.-Morocco FTA came into effect bilateral trade in goods has grown nearly five-fold.

The U.S. and Moroccan governments work closely to increase trade and investment through high-level consultations, bilateral dialogue, and other forums to inform U.S. businesses of investment opportunities and strengthen business-to-business ties.

What are the Government measures to motivate or restrict investment in Morocco?

The new investment charter which was introduced in July 2016 as part of Law 60-16, and replacing a previous charter implemented in 1995, creates free-trade zones in each of the 12 regions of the country, recognizes indirect exporter status, and creates incentives for export-oriented and industrial companies. It also restructures investment promotion activities under the centralized Moroccan Agency for Investment Development and Export. A General Directorate for Trade, a General Directorate for Industry and an agency dedicated to developing the digital economy and e-government were also created under the new charter.

FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in Figures

After a decline during the global recession, FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) flows to Morocco increased in 2014 and 2015, exceeding USD 3 billion. In 2016, however, flows fell by 29% to USD 2.32 billion. The country’s stability should attract more investors. In addition, a vast project of economic modernisation has been launched to boost FDI. Casablanca in particular aims to become an international financial center. Traditionally, France, Saudi Arabia and Spain have been the three main investors. FDI is mainly concentrated in the real estate sector, followed by industry and tourism.

Foreign Direct Investment inflows by country and sector in Morocco

Here are some countries and sectors that have invested in Morocco through foreign direct investment (FDI): In 2022, the top investing countries by stock were France (30.8%), the United Arab Emirates (UAE) (20.3%), Spain (8%), Switzerland (5.7%), and the United States (5%). In the first quarter of 2022, the leading investors were the United States, France, and the UAE.

Sectors that receive the most FDI are:

  • Industry: Almost one-fourth of FDI
  • Real estate: 20% of FDI
  • Communication: 12.4% of FDI
  • Tourism: 9.5% of FDI
  • Energy and mining: 6.4% of FDI
  • Banking: 5.7% of FDI 

The aim is to be considered as an alternative and reliable intermediary and as a hub of transfer and transformation of existing created and advanced researched values. The multiple participation of Morocco in international events, the signature of trade treaties and investment agreements, direct involvement in security, and strategic alliances are the institutional expressions for business integration, diplomatic acceptance, and cultural harmonization driven by the search for mutual benefits and complementary exchanges with a transfer of technological intelligence and operational know-how that Morocco is striving to materialize. A new model of development based on the production of clean energy remains the determining factor in conglomerating these similar but not identical factors of development.

HOW CAN TRI CK USA HELP YOU?

Achieving Reciprocity: Role of Rationality in International Trade


Reciprocity and Rationality in International Trade

Educating people about international trade, investment, and the global economy is a great way to foster understanding and collaboration across different cultures and societies. By sharing information and insights, you’re helping to bridge cultural gaps and promote a more interconnected world.

Your work is not only informative but also contributes to the larger goal of global unity and mutual understanding. It’s efforts like yours that can make a significant difference in how we perceive and interact with the world around us.

It’s concise, clear, and directly communicates the main theme of your discussion. “Rationality in International Trade Means Reciprocity in Exchanges” effectively captures the essence of the points you’ve raised about the importance of reciprocity and fairness in international trade.

This version emphasizes the goal (achieving reciprocity) and the means to that end (rationality).

The suggestion sparked some thoughts! The French expression “Bonnet Blanc – Blanc Bonnet” is often used to indicate that two things are essentially the same, despite appearing different. It’s interesting to see how this concept can be applied to the discussion of international trade and reciprocity. Just like “Bonnet Blanc – Blanc Bonnet”, different trade strategies might appear distinct but could lead to similar outcomes when the principle of reciprocity is upheld. Keep up the insightful work! 

Europe does not play the Scarecrow given its continental exposition to Eastern Europe, Russia, Turkey, the Middle East, India, Vietnam, Korea, China, and Japan.

The United States has Canada, Central, and South America as Leverages and Cushions for Readjustments of the Terms and Conditions of International Trade and the Changes in the World Economy as well as the Fluctuations of the International Monetary and Financial Policies.  

Rationality in International Trade Means Reciprocity in Exchanges

Rationality in international trade indeed implies reciprocity in exchanges. Countries trade with each other to leverage their comparative advantages, and this exchange is typically reciprocal. Each country exports goods and services that it can produce more efficiently and imports those that other countries can produce more efficiently.

Europe’s Position: Europe’s geographical location indeed gives it a unique advantage in terms of access to diverse markets such as Eastern Europe, Russia, Turkey, the Middle East, India, Vietnam, Korea, China, and Japan. This allows for a wide range of trade opportunities and partnerships.

The United States’ Leverages: The United States, with its proximity to Canada, Central, and South America, indeed has significant leverage. These regions not only provide a substantial market for U.S. goods and services but also a source of raw materials and labor. The U.S. can use these advantages to adjust to changes in the world economy and fluctuations in international monetary and financial policies.

However, it’s important to note that while geographical proximity provides certain advantages, the dynamics of international trade are also significantly influenced by other factors such as trade policies, economic stability, technological advancements, and diplomatic relations among others.

In conclusion, both Europe and the United States, given their unique positions and advantages, play crucial roles in the global trade ecosystem. Their strategies and policies can have far-reaching impacts on the global economy. 

As such, these regions need to promote fair trade practices, uphold ethical standards, and work towards sustainable economic development.

Achieving reciprocity in international trade requires cooperation and negotiation between countries. It’s a complex process that involves balancing the interests of different stakeholders, including businesses, consumers, and governments. Despite these challenges, reciprocity remains a key principle of fair and equitable trade.

The Role of Rationality in International Trade can be challenging due to several factors:

Achieving reciprocity in international trade requires cooperation and negotiation, balancing the interests of different stakeholders, and establishing modules for mutual benefits and win-win exchanges. The economic disparity between countries can also pose a challenge. Developed countries often have more resources and advanced technologies, which can give them an advantage in trade. On the other hand, developing countries may lack the necessary infrastructure and resources to compete on an equal footing. Political relations between countries can significantly impact trade. For instance, political tensions or conflicts can disrupt trade relations and make reciprocity difficult to achieve.

Many countries tend to use Non-tariff Barriers to protect their market, products, and consumers. These include product standards, safety regulations, and bureaucratic hurdles, which can be used to restrict imports and protect domestic industries.

The other potential hurdle can be the currency exchange rates. The constant fluctuations in currency exchange rates can affect the balance of trade. A strong currency can make a country’s exports more expensive and imports cheaper, potentially leading to a trade deficit. Different countries have different trade policies and regulations, which can make it difficult to achieve a balance in trade. Some countries may have protectionist policies that favor domestic industries, while others may have liberal trade policies that encourage imports.

Achieving Reciprocity: Role of Rationality in International Trade

Fairly negotiated Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and well-structured tariffs can indeed alleviate many of the challenges associated with international trade. According to the complementary perspective of the Fair Trade concepts and the doctrine of liberalism, countries with advanced technology can produce goods more efficiently and at a lower cost, giving them a competitive advantage in international trade and they can trade that for products with low-tech contributing in the integration of the global market that will build on specialization.

FTAs often include the reduction or elimination of tariffs and non-tariff barriers, which can make it easier for businesses to export goods and services to foreign markets. By setting clear trade rules, FTAs can help to ensure that domestic businesses can compete fairly with foreign companies.

By opening up new markets for businesses, FTAs can stimulate economic growth and create jobs. FTAs can lead to a greater variety of goods and services being available to consumers, often at lower prices.

Achieving Reciprocity: Role of Rationality in International Trade

As for the “administrative barriers” mentioned, these can indeed be a significant hurdle in international trade. These barriers, which can include things like customs procedures, product standards, and licensing requirements, can be particularly challenging for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that may lack the resources to navigate these complexities.

It’s important to note that while FTAs and negotiated tariffs can help to alleviate some of these challenges, they are not a panacea. Achieving true reciprocity in international trade requires ongoing dialogue, cooperation, and negotiation between countries. It’s a complex process that involves balancing the interests of different stakeholders, including businesses, consumers, and governments.

It’s about to be “Trade War Summer” in Europe!

The EU is expected to slap tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles this week, citing a months-long investigation into Beijing’s subsidies for EV manufacturers.

The move comes amid wider EU-China trade tensions over green technologies like EVs, solar panels, and batteries, where China has become a major low-cost producer whose exports often undercut those of Western competitors.

The EU says China is unfairly subsidizing producers and “dumping” goods in Europe that it can’t sell at home because of weak consumer demand.

China says it’s being unfairly punished for being too good at producing precisely the products the West claims it wants to meet its climate goals.

Experts doubt the tariffs will be big enough to dent sales. Chinese EVs are relatively cheap in the EU, starting at around $32,000.

But China could retaliate against EU industries. Chinese media say local firms want Beijing to consider EU subsidies for European brandy, dairy products, and pork.

If the Europeans try to unplug Chinese EVs, expect Beijing to clap back fast with tariffs of its own on those industries, upping the ante in a trade dispute between the world’s largest exporter (China) and the world’s largest advanced consumer market (the EU).

C’est sur le point d’être « l’été de la guerre commerciale » en Europe !

L’UE devrait imposer cette semaine des droits de douane sur les véhicules électriques fabriqués en Chine, citant une enquête de plusieurs mois sur les subventions accordées par Pékin aux fabricants de véhicules électriques.

Cette décision intervient dans un contexte de tensions commerciales plus larges entre l’UE et la Chine sur les technologies vertes comme les véhicules électriques, les panneaux solaires et les batteries, où la Chine est devenue un important producteur à bas prix dont les exportations sont souvent inférieures à celles de ses concurrents occidentaux.

L’UE affirme que la Chine subventionne injustement les producteurs et « dumping » en Europe des produits qu’elle ne peut pas vendre chez elle en raison de la faible demande des consommateurs.

La Chine affirme qu’elle est injustement punie pour avoir trop bien réussi à produire précisément les produits que l’Occident prétend vouloir pour atteindre ses objectifs climatiques.

Les experts doutent que les droits de douane soient suffisamment élevés pour nuire aux ventes. Les véhicules électriques chinois sont relativement bon marché dans l’UE, à partir d’environ 32 000 dollars.

Mais la Chine pourrait riposter contre les industries européennes. Les médias chinois affirment que les entreprises locales souhaitent que Pékin envisage des subventions européennes pour le brandy, les produits laitiers et le porc européens.

Si les Européens tentent de débrancher les véhicules électriques chinois, on s’attend à ce que Pékin réagisse rapidement en imposant ses propres droits de douane sur ces industries, faisant monter la barre dans un conflit commercial entre le plus grand exportateur mondial (la Chine) et le plus grand marché de consommation avancé au monde (l’UE). .

The implications of China’s exports to Russia and their overall trends have significant ramifications for the world economy and geopolitical relations. Let’s explore key points:

China-Russia Trade Trends:

China’s exports to Russia have surged, with a 41.5% increase in January and February 2024 compared to the same period last year 1. Key export products include machinery, nuclear reactors, vehicles, electronics, and electrical equipment 2.

Economic Impact:

Western sanctions on Russia have led Moscow to pivot toward China for economic support. China relies on Russian crude oil and coal for manufacturing and energy security. Settlements for trade have been delayed due to Chinese banks treading carefully amid sanctions 3.

Les implications des exportations chinoises vers la Russie et leurs tendances générales ont des conséquences importantes sur l’économie mondiale et les relations géopolitiques. Explorons les points clés :

Tendances commerciales sino-russes :
Les exportations chinoises vers la Russie ont bondi, avec une augmentation de 41,5 % en janvier et février 2024 par rapport à la même période de l’année dernière 1. Les principaux produits d’exportation comprennent les machines, les réacteurs nucléaires, les véhicules, l’électronique et les équipements électriques 2.

Impact economique:
Les sanctions occidentales contre la Russie ont conduit Moscou à se tourner vers la Chine pour obtenir un soutien économique. La Chine dépend du pétrole brut et du charbon russes pour sa production manufacturière et sa sécurité énergétique. Les règlements commerciaux ont été retardés en raison de la prudence des banques chinoises face aux sanctions 3.



Geopolitical Implications:

China and Russia are not formal allies but have strengthened ties to challenge U.S. hegemony. Western democracies’ re-engagement with China while maintaining tough stances reflects a delicate balancing act 4. The U.S. and EU closely monitor China’s sustained Russian trade, which could impact their relations 3.

Western Economies’ Reaction:

Western policymakers face challenges in responding to China’s growing role in Russia’s defense industry. Enacting comparable sanctions on China would be disruptive to the global economy 5. The U.S. Treasury has issued stern warnings to China over supporting Russia’s war machinery 6.

China’s trade with Russia amid sanctions has complex implications, affecting global dynamics and requiring careful diplomatic maneuvering by Western economies. 2 4 1 3 5 6

Implications géopolitiques :
La Chine et la Russie ne sont pas des alliées formelles mais ont renforcé leurs liens pour défier l’hégémonie américaine. Le réengagement des démocraties occidentales envers la Chine, tout en maintenant des positions fermes, reflète un délicat exercice d’équilibre 4. Les États-Unis et l’UE surveillent de près le commerce soutenu de la Chine avec la Russie, ce qui pourrait avoir un impact sur leurs relations 3.

Réaction des économies occidentales :
Les décideurs politiques occidentaux sont confrontés à des difficultés pour répondre au rôle croissant de la Chine dans l’industrie de défense russe. L’imposition de sanctions comparables à la Chine perturberait l’économie mondiale 5. Le Trésor américain a lancé de sévères avertissements à la Chine concernant son soutien à la machine de guerre russe 6.Le commerce de la Chine avec la Russie dans un contexte de sanctions a des implications complexes, affectant la dynamique mondiale et nécessitant des manœuvres diplomatiques prudentes de la part des économies occidentales. 2 4 1 3 5 6

Putin to visit North Korea and Vietnam

Russian state media reported Monday that President Vladimir Putin will travel to North Korea and Vietnam in the coming weeks as Moscow tries to build influence among middle powers in Asia.

This will be Putin’s first trip to Pyongyang in 24 years, and he’ll find the city much changed. In 2000, the massive unfinished Ryugyong Hotel loomed skeletally over Stalinist-era apartment blocks, in an almost-too-on-the-nose metaphor for the country’s paranoid and feeble state two years after the 1994-1998 mass famine. Putin was in town to officially reestablish relations with North Korea, which had ruptured following the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Today, the DPRK’s economy can now support a level of prosperity in Pyongyang — including cladding for that still-empty hotel, and some high-rises nearby to soften the landscape. It also now has nuclear weapons to protect itself from the US and artillery shells Russia needs in Ukraine, meaning Putin has to show up with something a little more high-tech in hand.

He’s previously pledged to help North Korea put spy satellites in orbit, which it accomplished for the first time last year. But a subsequent launch this May, which South Korean intelligence believes was aided by Russian technicians, exploded shortly after takeoff. Nonetheless, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un says he wants to launch three more spy satellites this year, and we have our eye out for any indication of where the cooperation might go from here.

The Vietnam leg is less juicy by comparison. Hanoi and Moscow have a tight military relationship stretching back to the early Cold War, but Vietnam has recently been courting better relations with the US to offset threats from China. We’re expecting a carefully choreographed visit with little that could rock the boat.

The recent decline in the United States’ standing in the Arab world and China’s growing influence indeed has significant implications. Let’s break down some key points:

Public Opinion Shift:

  • A new public opinion survey reveals that Arab citizens’ views of the United States have sharply declined due to its support for Israel during the conflict in Gaza.
  • China, surprisingly, emerges as the main beneficiary in the region.

China’s Diplomatic Gains:

  • Beijing is capitalizing on this situation, reaping diplomatic rewards with minimal investment.
  • China’s humanitarian aid, high-level visits, and rhetorical support for the Palestinians are paying off.

Impact Beyond the Middle East:

  • China’s benefits extend beyond the Middle East to Southeast Asia.
  • Public approval of the U.S. among Muslim-majority populations in Southeast Asia has also fallen sharply.

U.S. Political Polarization:

  • American politicians used to care about global perceptions of the U.S., but today’s intense political polarization hinders such considerations.
  • President Biden faces constraints due to internal divisions within Congress and his own party.

China’s Rising Influence:

  • The longer the Gaza conflict persists, the more China’s standing grows in the Middle East and the Global South.

In this complex geopolitical landscape, the balance of power is shifting, and China is strategically leveraging opportunities.

The Recipe for World Madness In the Islamic Regions



Since Father Bush’s Presidency, the equation of U.S. Foreign Policy has tilted toward direct intervention and reshaping of the Muslim World of North Africa, Subsaharan Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia.

Today is the return of the crank of an engine that rusted given that no improvement in the living conditions of the masses occurred despite all the given promises that the change of regimes will bring better life.

This lack of materialization added more burden on the shoulders of the people on top of the ones driven by the new rulers installed in a new democratic way made the United States Foreign Policy be seen as a change in the continuity if not worsening the social, economic, and financial structures in these regions.

The East and the West rivalry exacerbated these localized tensions resulting from the direct competition between China and the United States, the split of the World Geopolitics in dual and multipolar divisions also deepened.

The evolving landscape of U.S. foreign policy in the Islamic regions has been marked by complex dynamics and shifting priorities. Let’s explore some key aspects:

Post-Cold War Interventions: Since the era of President George H.W. Bush, U.S. foreign policy has increasingly involved direct intervention and reshaping in Muslim-majority regions.

North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia have been focal points for strategic engagement.

Unfulfilled Promises: Despite promises of positive change under new regimes, living conditions for the masses have not significantly improved.

The gap between expectations and reality has burdened the population.

Continuity and Challenges: The transition to democratic governance has sometimes failed to address underlying social, economic, and financial issues.

Some perceive U.S. foreign policy as perpetuating existing structures rather than effecting positive transformation.

Global Rivalries: The rivalry between the East (China) and the West (United States) has intensified localized tensions.

Geopolitical divisions have deepened, impacting stability and regional dynamics.

In this complex landscape, the pursuit of stability, development, and peace remains a delicate balancing act. 


How about Africa where the U.S. presence like France is no more accepted such today in Niger with the rapatriation of the U.S. forces from Niger, 900 soldiers and the rejection of the French army presence by Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso along the rise of Russian intelligence and military and the Chinese financial and economi presence in the same area of Africa

Case studies that shed light on the challenges related to U.S. foreign policy in the Islamic regions:

US Foreign Policy and Conflict in Eurasia:

  • This series examines the role of U.S. foreign policy in exacerbating or ameliorating hostilities among and within Muslim nations.
  • It explores tensions between Islamic groups and the West, particularly in the context of security concerns after 9/11.
  • Case studies delve into specific instances where U.S. actions influenced dynamics in the region.

Key Challenges for U.S. Policy in the Middle East:

Challenges within the Muslim World:

These case studies highlight the complexities and long-term implications of U.S. engagement in the Islamic regions. 


African nations navigate a delicate balancing act in their relations with multiple global powers.

Diversification: African countries engage with various powers, including the United States, China, Russia, and regional actors. By diversifying partnerships, they avoid overreliance on any single nation.

Pragmatism: African leaders prioritize national interests over ideological alignment. They seek economic, security, and development benefits from different partners.

Balancing Act: African nations balance cooperation and competition among major powers.

Evolving dynamics in Africa, where various global powers are asserting their influence:

French Withdrawal:

  • French President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to withdraw French troops from Niger came after demands from the country’s military leadership.
  • This move reflects a broader trend of French withdrawals from African countries, including Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic, and Mali.
  • Anti-French sentiment has been on the rise across parts of the continent.

U.S. Presence:

Russian Influence:

Chinese Engagement:


In this complex landscape, African nations must navigate competing interests while maintaining agency in global frameworks.  They aim to maximize gains while minimizing risks.


The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has significant implications for global dynamics, including China’s role. Here are some key points:

China’s Diplomatic Influence: As Russia’s actions face international condemnation, China has positioned itself as a diplomatic player in the South and beyond.

Beijing’s engagement with countries seeking alternatives to U.S.-Russia tensions strengthens its standing.

South-South Cooperation:

China’s alignment with the Global South, including G77 nations, elevates its influence on multilateral systems and global norms.

By fostering stronger ties, China becomes a peer to G7 economies.

Strategic Calculations:

China’s support for Russia is multifaceted. It goes beyond the military conflict and aligns with its response to U.S. containment strategies. Beijing’s investments and partnerships yield returns, even amid geopolitical complexities.

In this evolving landscape, China’s role as a diplomatic force continues to shape global relations. 

In the case of Lobito investment, China hold the primary role and in the Central Africa and Sahel, Russia hold the military power making Africa to be more tuned toward a nationalistic approach for its development and using the colonialism and the neo-colonialism as the reason of changing the rulers by new military militants instead the legation of the western countries


Lobito Investment: The Lobito Atlantic Railway project, covering Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Zambia, is a significant infrastructure initiative. Led by the United States, the project aims to enhance logistical infrastructure in southern Africa. However, Chinese state-owned enterprises and private companies already dominate critical mineral supply chains (such as copper and cobalt) needed for electric vehicle components. The Lobito Corridor project may inadvertently benefit Chinese companies more than originally intended.

Russia’s Military Influence: Russia has expanded military cooperation with former Portuguese colonies in West Africa. It seeks to spread influence from the landlocked Sahel and Central African Republic (CAR) into key waterways for regional and transatlantic shipping. Russian Atlantic basing in West Africa serves as an alternative to Mediterranean basing, potentially threatening NATO’s flank.

Nationalistic Approach: African nations are increasingly turning to military rulers due to declining confidence in civilian leaders. Weakness of African armies encourages preoccupation with domestic order. Military leaders plot against civilian orders they find intolerable, leading to coups d’état.

Changing Rulers: The continent has entered a period of political turmoil, with several states experiencing coups d’état. Possession of weapons often becomes a fast track to power for military officers. European troops rarely intervene during rapid coups, emboldening African officers.

China’s economic influence and Russia’s military presence shape Africa’s development and governance, with implications for nationalistic approaches and changes in leadership.

TRI CK USA WE DELIVER

Le gisement offshore Grand Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA), situé à la frontière maritime entre la Mauritanie et le Sénégal, sera mis en exploitation avant la fin de 2024. Ce champ, développé en partenariat avec la compagnie British Petroleum (BP), représente un projet stratégique pour les deux nations ouest-africaines. À la lumière de cette opportunité, chaque pays se prépare activement à construire son propre gazoduc pour maximiser les bénéfices de cette ressource énergétique.


Durant l’exploitation du champ, il est prévu que chaque pays recevra 35 millions de pieds cubes de gaz par jour destinés au marché local. Cette allocation jouera un rôle essentiel dans la sécurité énergétique régionale, soutenant la croissance économique et répondant aux besoins énergétiques domestiques.
Le Sénégal a annoncé son intention de construire un gazoduc reliant Saint-Louis, dans le nord du pays, à Dakar. Lors du conseil des ministres du 3 juillet 2024, il a été précisé que ce pipeline servira non seulement au transport du gaz entre ces deux régions, mais également à l’évacuation du gaz naturel extrait du gisement de GTA vers des centrales électriques. L’objectif est de construire une infrastructure de 400 kilomètres sur l’axe Saint-Louis-Dakar-Mbour, afin de répondre aux besoins énergétiques croissants du pays.

En parallèle, la Mauritanie progresse dans ses propres préparatifs. Une étude approfondie des évaluations techniques et commerciales a été réalisée pour déterminer les meilleures voies d’acheminement du gaz à partir des champs offshore de GTA et de Bir Allah. Ces études visent à garantir une exploitation optimale des ressources gazières et à élaborer des solutions efficaces pour le transport du gaz vers les zones industrielles et urbaines du pays.

Cependant, plusieurs défis financiers et écologiques entravent la réalisation de ces projets. Les coûts élevés de construction et les préoccupations environnementales exigent des solutions rapides et efficaces de la part des parties prenantes. Parmi les options envisagées, la construction d’une centrale électrique sur place pour transformer le gaz en électricité et l’acheminer via des lignes de haute tension pourrait s’avérer une alternative viable. Cette solution permettrait de réduire les impacts écologiques liés à la construction de gazoducs tout en optimisant l’utilisation de la ressource.

Par ailleurs, la Mauritanie est en train de lancer un projet « Gas-to-Power » basé sur le champ gazier de Banda. Ce projet vise à transformer directement le gaz en électricité pour répondre aux besoins énergétiques nationaux et stimuler le développement industriel. Cette initiative, en parallèle à l’exploitation de GTA, illustre l’engagement des deux pays à utiliser leurs ressources naturelles de manière durable et bénéfique pour leurs économies respectives.
