Fifteen years after the fall of Gaddafi, Libya has become the mirror of a "constituted disorder" where national sovereignty has yielded to institutionalized anarchy and multi-billion dollar smuggling operations. Between Ukrainian drones patrolling the skies over Tripoli and the consolidation of the Russian Africa Corps, the country has transformed into a proxy battlefield, suspended between the iron-fisted dynastic rule of the Haftars and the bureaucratic paralysis of the UN. This essay analyzes the failure of international roadmaps and the rise of new mediators, revealing how the fate of the Mediterranean is now held hostage by local militias and dark energy schemes. It is a necessary investigation to understand whether stabilization remains a possible goal or if Libya is now condemned to be the epicenter of an endless global crisis.

On March 16th 2026, Cuba experienced a nationwide power grid collapse, leaving nearly 10 million people in darkness and further fragmenting an already fragile nation. Following the fall of Nicolas Maduro’s regime in Venezuela, the first provider of Cuba’s fuel, and the subsequent tightening of US - Cuba relations, Havana is now facing an unprecedented crisis. As the island struggles with a healthcare system in ruins and streets overflowing with waste, the geopolitical future of the country is at stake, within the broader context of Trump’s influence in the Americas.
Between internal struggles and external leverage, what is the ongoing situation in the Caribbean island? What kind of transformations, both internationally and domestically, will emerge in this context?

In 2003, PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel and four partners launched Palantir Technologies with seed funding from the CIA's venture capital arm, In-Q-Tel. Their explicit mission : build a platform to help intelligence agencies integrate and analyze complex data sets for counter-terrorism efforts. Two decades later, CEO Dr. Alex Karp frames this legacy differently: "Palantir was founded on the belief that the United States, its allies, and partners should harness the most advanced technical capabilities for their defense and prosperity."

However, we, as US allies, should face the tragic question in regard to our American “saviour” : can digital sovereignty exist when critical infrastructure relies on foreign technology ?

“To pick a side is always wiser than trying to be neutral”, as Nicolò Machiavelli once said in “The Prince” (1513), referring to those that prefer to stay aside from disputes thinking they would rather benefit from it. Accordingly, in the previous centuries, neutrality was seen as an act of cowardice, but the paradigm seems to have changed in the contemporary era, as neutrality is regarded as a wise geopolitical asset.
This article offers a well-rounded vision of the Oman’s strategy of neutrality applied to critical crises involving its neighbouring countries and the international actors that exert a direct influence in the Middle East: it will specifically try to compare advantages and drawbacks of Oman’s longstanding foreign policy techniques, commonly used to safeguard a general balance of power.

The global landscape is undergoing a profound transformation and is increasingly shaped by the search for more resilient and efficient supply chains. The COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the fragmentation of the international system have exposed the fragility of supply chains optimized for efficiency but not designed to withstand crises. Recent crises have shown that building fast and cheap trade routes is not enough, because they must also be robust, meaning able to withstand wars, pandemics, and instability. Having alternative routes and avoiding dependence on a single supplier have become strategic priorities for all major powers, thus developing a new side of international cooperation.

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, located in Western Asia, borders Syria and Iraq to the northeast, Israel and the West Bank to the west, and Saudi Arabia to the south. Despite being situated in one of the world’s most volatile regions, Jordan has maintained a reputation for relative stability. This raises a key question: how has Jordan managed to remain stable amid regional turmoil?
Part of the answer lies in its normalization agreements with Israel, particularly in the governance of transboundary resources such as water and energy. While often framed as pragmatic and cooperative, these arrangements reveal deeper dynamics of dependency, asymmetry, and political constraint.
