Seoul announced plans for creating an anti-Kim unit earlier this week, citing a rising threat from Pyongyang. The idea has been ci...

By Finian Cunningham US ruling power is in deep trouble because there are growing signs that the mass of citizens are no longer beholden to the supposed authority residing in Washington.

The latest high-level intelligence report from the CIA  , NSA, FBI and other US spy agencies on alleged Russian cyber hacking may have “wowed” President Barack Obama, various member...

Ces différents entretiens ont suscité de très nombreuses réactions au sein de la communauté des Musulmans « modérés », et dans le milieu du Soufisme notamment, très opposé aux thèses salafistes et à leur lecture d’un Coran qui, notamment, autoriserait la violence (le djihad armé) comme moyen licite de promouvoir et de répandre l’Islam. Pour en débattre, Pierre Piccinin da Prata a engagé le dialogue avec Saïd Djabelkhir, journaliste algérien, chercheur en sciences islamiques et spécialiste du Soufisme. Cinquième et dernière partie de cet entretien, dont le premier volet a été publié dans l’édition de juillet-août 2016 du Courrier du Maghreb et de l’Orient.
