European Union and African Union Enhance Research Cooperation with Horizon Europe and Erasmus+

European Union and African Union Enhance Research Cooperation with Horizon Europe and Erasmus+

The European Union (EU) and the African Union (AU) are deepening their research cooperation through programs like Horizon Europe and Erasmus+. African institutions are already participating in these initiatives, with Tunisia and Egypt having achieved associated status with Horizon Europe. Ethiopia is also a potential candidate for association. The new Africa Initiative IV has allocated over €605 million specifically for EU-Africa research cooperation, marking a significant investment in this partnership. While participation in selected projects is a positive step, the discussion is now moving towards formal association, which would provide a more durable position, influence, and access for African countries. The concept of associate membership, as proposed for Canada, is being considered as a potential model for African nations, suggesting a new layer of European architecture that could include the AU and African countries as co-authors of rules, research agendas, and a shared future. This initiative aims ...

Ethiopia Prioritizes Water Resources, Red Sea Access, and Diplomacy for National Interests

Ethiopia is increasingly focusing on its strategic interests in water resources, access to the Red Sea, and diplomatic partnerships as interconnected elements of its long-term national agenda. Discussions around the Abay/Nile River emphasize equitable and sustainable utilization of shared water resources, with Ethiopian officials criticizing what they describe as Egypt's attempts to assert exclusive control. Simultaneously, the quest for reliable Red Sea access is gaining momentum, with senior officials and researchers linking it to economic development, national security, and regional integration. Ethiopia is also actively engaging on global platforms, participating in the International Atomic Energy Agency's General Conference and hosting the IGAD Regional High-Level Forum on El Niño Preparedness for the Horn of Africa. Diplomatic efforts are broadening beyond traditional politics to include partnerships in agriculture, technology, climate action, and cultural exchange.

Review Highlights Egyptian Author Abdelrahman ElGendy's Memoir 'Huna' on Revolution and Imprisonment

Review Highlights Egyptian Author Abdelrahman ElGendy's Memoir 'Huna' on Revolution and Imprisonment

Nour Eldin Hussein's review in Mizna explores Abdelrahman ElGendy's memoir, 'Huna: A Memoir of Revolution, Prison, and Becoming,' which details ElGendy's experiences during and after the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état. ElGendy, then 17, was arrested on terrorism charges and imprisoned for six years, accused of affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood. His memoir delves into the profound loss of personhood and agency within the carceral system, illustrating how the state's power, referred to as 'the Arms,' attempts to strip individuals of their identity and freedom. The review emphasizes ElGendy's narrative as a testament to 'hereness'—a persistent sense of being and resilience that endures despite extreme repression. This concept of 'hereness' is portrayed as a form of internal victory and survival, found in small acts of defiance, camaraderie, and the pursuit of knowledge even within the confines of prison.
