It doesn't really matter anymore how each actor refers to #US departure from #Afghanistan, but what's more important will be how various state actors prepare themselves (policy/ops) to potential shock waves that may reach as a result in foreseeable future #Geopolitics #EU #Asia

#Daesh attack in #Kabul is a sad reminder of the fact that organization continues to posses operational capabilities & will continue to attempt and fill any security vacuum that is left. Prevalence of risk remains elevated as western targets continue to serve as priority. #US

Death of Idriss Déby have far reaching ramifications (local, regional, international) for so many theaters of operations in the #Sahel. Will be interesting to see how #Islamist organizations to react at different fronts as well as international actors w/forces on ground. #Tchad

[Itay Ron @itayron5]

No doubt that death of #idrissdeby caught everyone by surprise, but now a huge question is how will the new military council to hold the lines in #Chad.? The answer for that along with the risk of potential vacuum holds the key for the #stability of #Sahel & beyond. #geopolitics

We took stock of progress on recovery plans in today’s meeting of the Recovery & Resilience Facility Steering Board.

We are supporting all EU countries in their preparations.

This should facilitate swift assessments of the final plans & allow #NextGenerationEU funds to flow.

If ⁦@AstraZeneca⁩ to accept this offer, #belgium could both run with its operation of vaccination and become similar to Pfizer’s Israel Model + show #Europe the vaccine is safe. #strategy #covid19 https://t.co/SpNVUcKTX9

A good tactical tool to look forward for in the horizon however it’s a tactical response while an increased strategic crisis management is needed with the vaccination campaign and explanations to population through all media and by all officials is needed every day & every hour

Highlights the urge need of #EU @EU_Commission to take super pro active approach and get this vaccination operation together with Member States for into next gear, especially if people want this summer to be economically saved and as population loses patience. #Strategy #Covid_19

Britain is the first big country to show similar results to Israel, where a jump start on vaccinations led to falling deaths and hospitalisation rates https://t.co/lEDAhGZq4Z

[Itay Ron @itayron5]

The reports of decreasing deliveries of vaccinations against #Covid_19 througout the #EU should really start to concern some high level officials in #brussels. Public opinion will not tolerate this for too long while this could influence the latter stability in the longer term.

Reported events in #Mali reminds to certain extent the failed coup d'état back in #BrukinaFaso (2015). Along with condemnation by #AU #France & others, interesting to see how events to develop in coming 48 critical hours. Unlikely that #Sahel countries & co. will accept this.
