Geoeconomics is the common thread of the 11th issue of the Choiseul Magazine. Tariffs, sanctions, battles over standards, and control of critical technologies. #géoeconomie is no longer a theory. It has become the new grammar of global power relations. This issue deciphers the new logics of power that now structure international relations.

#Cyberpedia📡An unforgettable moment at the Doha Forum 2025! With H.E. President @officialjdmahama John Dramani Mahama during the powerful panel on “Economic Empowerment in Africa: Pathway to Inclusive Prosperity.”

His insights on transforming agriculture into a thriving business with modern practices, investing in irrigation amid climate challenges, prioritizing foundational education and technical training, preparing Africa’s youth for the rapidly expanding digital economy, and mobilizing domestic resources for skills development—including digital and technological innovation—left me inspired. As he shared Africa’s untapped potential—from vast arable lands to our vibrant, tech-savvy youth—it was a reminder that true prosperity starts with empowering our people through education, agriculture, and technology.

Grateful for this enriching exchange and the vision for an inclusive, resilient, and digitally empowered Africa. 🌍💪📱 #Cyberpedia
