Free flow of information is one of the main criteria used to determine the level of peace in a country, following the Global Peace Index (GPI). In the thirteenth edition of the GPI issued in June 2019, several sub-Saharan African countries are positioned at the bottom of the ladder of peace, one of the main reasons being their decline in the free flow of information in recent years. A broad view of the GPI report shows that these countries also have a weak index on internet freedom and digital rights, as well as the freedom of the press. […]
Ultimately, to safeguard the existing and predict any possible decline of peace, each country presented in this top 15, regardless of the number of times and category, should be closely watched and monitored by civil liberties defenders.

Les enjeux d’un Cadre juridique spécifique aux énergies renouvelables au Cameroun
La question de développement est étroitement liée à celle de la maîtrise de l’énergie dont les contours modernes intègrent le concept de durabilité. Très longtemps, dans les civilisations anciennes, la priorité était donnée aux énergies conventionnelles telles que le charbon, le pétrole et les grands barrages hydroélectriques qui ont toutes montré des limites en termes de la protection de l’environnement et de l’économie des ressources naturelles.
