There is a strong undercurrent in the ocean of African politics. As the West’s political interference and exploitation of African resources enter public knowledge, an ideology has seemingly risen from the ashes: Pan-Africanism. Through controversial political figures and alliances between Ibrahim Traore and the AES, the growth of Pan-Africanism has strong implications for intercontinental relations. Could this be the future of African politics?

After a delivery driver was murdered by riot police, Indonesia’s flaring protests erupted into flames. President Prabowo Subianto, a former general under the 33-year military dictatorship, is now aiming to undermine democratic institutions in favor of what he calls a “polite democracy”. As he increases military presence and props up the elite, Indonesians and their SEA neighbors are faced with a question: at what point does the shadow of an authoritarian past fully engulf a r

Once elevated under the Assad regime, Syria’s Alawite community now bears the burden of revenge killings driven by decades of sectarian tension. However, nothing happens in a vacuum; Syria’s neighbours watch carefully whether the nation will rise from the ashes or collapse into violence again. Will Ahmed al Shaara’s administration divide or unite Syria?

Norway’s centre-left bloc secured 87 seats; with Labour leading the coalition and halting years of decline, while the populist Progress Party emerged as the main opposition. Støre now faces four years of governing with a slim majority, battling over taxes, oil exploration and the $2tn wealth fund in a country vital to Europe’s energy future.

Last year’s US Presidential elections saw the Democrats lose not only their legislative influence, but the White House too. As President Trump has spearheaded his policies through sweeping executive action, the country’s opposition remains divided - not only in how to tackle the Republican majority, but the very values that define the party. How will the Democrats evolve in the coming years? And who, if anyone, stands a chance in restoring the party’s influence?

The manifestations that followed the ban were not the orderly marches of an established opposition. They felt as if no one were in charge. There were, to be precise, many people in neighbourhoods organizing at a time: ordinary people drawing crowds to choke points, students relaying police movements by motorbike, volunteers ferrying the injured to clinics when ambulances hesitated at barricades. This is Nepal's Gen Z Revolution.

India’s nuclear story is one of ambition shaped by scarcity. Born in the aftermath of its post-colonial era, the programme promised strategic autonomy by turning limited uranium and abundant thorium into lasting energy security. Carrying the optimism of self-reliance, it endured sanctions, isolation, and domestic politics that rarely gave it priority. Yet this three-stage vision lingers between possibility and reality. Can India transform this bold experiment into a pillar of

General Brice Oligui Nguema, who seized power in a coup less than two years ago, now claims an overwhelming electoral victory with 90% of the vote. His rhetoric is polished, promising reform, national renewal, and economic fairness, but the circumstances surrounding the vote tell a more familiar story. His promise of “change” comes dressed in military fatigues, backed by the same machinery of the Bongo regime. The real question isn’t who won: it’s whether Gabonese democracy

Balance of Power is Aleph Analisi Strategiche’s flagship bi-annual publication, offering sharp, nonpartisan analysis on the shifting geopolitics of 2025.

Dalla fine della dittatura nel 1986 al terribile terremoto del 2010, che costò la vita a più  di 200.000 persone, l'isola non riuscì mai del tutto a raggiungere né la stabilità politica né il tanto agognato sogno democratico. Ma dall'assassinio del presidente Moise nel 2021, a più di 8 anni dalle ultime elezioni regolari,  la situazione sembra essere precipitata in un baratro senza fondo. Tra spiagge e alberghi di lusso, 11 milioni di haitiani languiscono nell'incuranza inter

Climate transitions live or die on public trust. Any country's shift to a low-carbon future is shaped as much by public confidence as it is by innovation and technology. The UK was the first major economy to legally commit to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, and its ability to deliver hinges on maintaining broad and sustained public support. Yet support is not guaranteed.

The DRC produces over 70% of the world’s cobalt and holds around half of global cobalt reserves. Yet for decades, Congolese communities saw little benefit from this geological bounty. As EV demand surged, so did cobalt prices, breaching $90,000 per ton in 2018 before a market crash the following year. These boom-bust cycles have whipsawed Kolwezi’s miners and the DRC’s economy, illustrating the precarity of Africa’s role in raw material supply.
