New York, October 10, 2026

The State of Qatar underscored the importance of full compliance with obligations under disarmament conventions and agreements, as well as support for international efforts to refrain from conducting nuclear tests and halt the development and modernization of nuclear arsenals and other lethal weapons, in pursuit of global peace and security and to protect future generations and ecosystems from the threat posed by the proliferation of such weapons.

It expressed regret that the eleventh Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), held from April 27 to May 22, 2026, concluded without consensus on a substantive outcome document.

This came in a statement delivered by First Secretary at the Permanent Mission of the State of Qatar to the United Nations, Talal Abdulaziz Al Naama, during the general debate of the First Committee of the United Nations General Assembly at its 81st session, held at United Nations Headquarters in New York.

Al Naama said that the State of Qatar significantly prioritizes the United Nations Conference on the Establishment of a Middle East Zone Free of Nuclear Weapons and Other Weapons of Mass Destruction, convened pursuant to General Assembly decision 73/546.

The State of Qatar supports the Sultanate of Oman’s presiding over the seventh session of the Conference, whose chairmanship will conclude in November 2026, Al Naama noted, stating that Qatar looks forward to the cooperation of all countries of the region to ensure the success of the Conference and achieve its intended goals of strengthening peace and security on both the regional and global stages, as well as to the State of Qatar assuming the presidency of the eighth session of the Conference.

In a related context, Al Naama reiterated the State of Qatar’s commitment to the inalienable right of all States parties to NPT to use atomic energy for peaceful purposes.

As part of the State of Qatar’s constant efforts to contribute to the elimination of chemical weapons, Al Naama referred to the adoption by the Executive Council of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), during its 112th session, convened in The Hague on Jul. 9, 2026, of the draft decision submitted by the State of Qatar on the reinstatement of the rights and privileges of the Syrian Arab Republic within the Organization.

He elaborated that the draft decision, which was co-sponsored by 66 States Parties, was an outgrowth of the diplomatic efforts undertaken by the State of Qatar through a series of consultations and initiatives that helped build broad consensus among the States Parties, ultimately paving the way for its adoption.

Since Feb. 28, 2026, the State of Qatar has condemned the Islamic Republic of Iran’s attacks using ballistic missiles and one-way attack drones against its sovereignty, territorial integrity and territorial waters, as well as against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of brotherly nations, stressing that these assaults constitute flagrant violations of international law, international humanitarian law and the Charter of the United Nations, Al Naama said.

Al Naama reiterated the State of Qatar’s position that it is important to comply with the provisions of Security Council resolution 2817 (2026), including those pertaining to navigational rights and freedoms in conformity with international law, particularly those related to critical maritime lanes.

He underlined that the State of Qatar’s priority is to contain escalation and unlock prospects for diplomatic efforts, indicating that the State of Qatar will continue its engagement with partners to bridge viewpoints and build common ground among the parties, ultimately reaching a peaceful resolution that safeguards lasting security, peace and stability in the region.

In addition, Al Naama recalled that the State of Qatar condemned the Houthi attack on Abha International and King Khalid International Airports in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on Oct.7, 2026, which led to casualties and material damage.

He further stressed that the State of Qatar considers this assault a grave violation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s sovereignty and a direct threat to regional security, as well as to the safety of civilians, civilian assets and air traffic, reaffirming the State of Qatar’s full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

New York, October 09, 2026

The State of Qatar has called for the consistent application of international law without selectivity or double standards, stressing that the credibility of the international legal system depends on how its rules are enforced.

The remarks were delivered by Second Secretary at Qatar’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations Abdulaziz Al Sulaiti.

Addressing the 81st session of the UN General Assembly’s Sixth Committee, Al Sulaiti said that respect for the rule of law is not merely an aspiration stated in the Charter, but a firm commitment embedded in its purposes and principles.

The Sixth Committee deliberations addressed the rule of law at both national and international levels under agenda item 84.

The State of Qatar stressed the close relationship between the rule of law at both levels, saying each reinforced the other. It also highlighted the importance of dialogue between the Sixth Committee and the International Law Commission to ensure that the commission’s work reflects the practices and views of governments across different regions.

At the national level, Qatar pointed to the Ministry of Justice’s 2025–2030 strategic plan, launched in line with the Third National Development Strategy. The plan aims to develop an efficient justice system that promotes transparency and integrity.

Al Sulaiti said Qatar was working to strengthen institutions in line with international standards, ensure consistency between national legislation and international instruments, and expand programs to raise legal awareness and inform the public about rights and responsibilities.

He also highlighted Qatar’s regional and international role in promoting the rule of law, including its chairmanship of the Arab Permanent Committee on International Humanitarian Law under the League of Arab States. Qatar became the first country to chair the committee, established in 2025.

The statement also noted Qatar’s hosting, under its presidency, of the 11th Conference of the States Parties to the United Nations Convention against Corruption, in December 2025.

Turning to regional security, Qatar reiterated its condemnation of attacks by Iran against its sovereignty, territorial integrity and territorial waters since February 28, as well as attacks affecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other Arab states.

It described the attacks as violations of international law, international humanitarian law and the UN Charter, and called for compliance with UN Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026), including provisions concerning navigational rights and freedoms under international law, particularly along vital maritime routes.

Doha said its priority was to contain the escalation and create space for diplomatic efforts. It added that it would continue engaging with partners to bridge differences, build common ground between the parties and pursue a peaceful solution that safeguards regional security, peace and long-term stability.

The statement also condemned Houthi attacks targeting Saudi Arabia, including the targeting of a power distribution station in Medina, following an attack targeting Mecca, as well as attacks on Riyadh and attempts to target civilians and civilian infrastructure.

Al Sulaiti reaffirmed the State of Qatar’s full solidarity with Saudi Arabia.

African genomics research is growing: what countries are doing to connect genetic data and healthcare

Source: The Conversation – Africa – By Mohamed Zahir Alimohamed, Lecturer in Human Genetics, Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences

Much of what scientists know about how genetic differences affect health comes from studying populations outside Africa. This matters because genetic information is increasingly being used to understand disease, interpret genetic tests and, in some cases, guide treatment.

Africa has the greatest human genetic diversity in the world, yet African populations remain poorly represented in global genomic research. A genome is the complete set of DNA carried by a person. Only about 0.15% of participants in genome-wide association studies, which look for links between genetic differences and disease, are from Africa. When most of the evidence comes from populations elsewhere, some findings can be harder to interpret for African patients.

For example, researchers found that some genetic changes previously reported as causing an inherited heart condition in people of African ancestry were actually harmless. Those errors were easier to detect once more genetic information from people of African ancestry became available.

A genetic test is not useful simply because it can read a person’s DNA. Doctors also need reliable information to understand what a genetic change means. Better information from African populations could, over time, help provide clearer diagnoses for some inherited conditions, give families better information about diseases that run through generations and improve our understanding of why people respond differently to some medicines.

In a recent paper, my colleagues and I examined national genome projects across Africa and how they could help address this gap.

I approach this question as a molecular geneticist at Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences in Tanzania. My co-authors bring expertise in genetics, genomics and population health from Egypt, Tunisia, Senegal, Kenya and South Africa. In the paper, we show how national projects differ in scale and focus, and argue that no single approach will suit every country. We also make the case that sequencing must be accompanied by local expertise, responsible data governance and sustained investment if it is to improve healthcare.

What are national genome projects trying to do?

National genome projects study many genomes to build a better picture of genetic differences within a population and how some of those differences relate to health and disease.

Several African countries are moving in this direction. Tunisia, Egypt and Senegal have national initiatives, while government-led projects in Tanzania, Kenya and South Africa are at earlier stages. Other countries have genomic studies that could provide a foundation for broader national programmes.

The projects offer different lessons. Tunisia plans to study both people without known disease and patients with clinical conditions. That could help distinguish harmless genetic differences from those relevant to a patient’s illness. Egypt aims to study a much larger number of people and investigate common and rare diseases; its challenge will be to turn that scale into useful knowledge and healthcare capacity. Senegal aims to include people from 31 ethnolinguistic groups across all 14 regions, addressing the risk that a “national” dataset overlooks parts of the population.

In Tanzania, Kenya and South Africa, national genome project efforts are at different stages of development. Our paper does not assess their implementation. As these projects develop, the same questions will matter: who is represented, how the data are governed, whether local expertise is strengthened and how findings could eventually improve healthcare.

Initiatives such as Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) have already helped develop laboratories, research skills and collaborations across the continent. National projects should build on this experience, but be designed around each country’s health priorities and resources, because no single model will suit every country.

How could this affect patients and families?

The aim is not to offer every person a genetic test. The value lies in building knowledge that is currently missing and developing the people and systems needed to use it.

For a family affected by an inherited disease, better local information may make it easier to determine whether a genetic change is linked to disease. Research may also help doctors understand why some medicines work differently between people.

For health systems, locally generated evidence can help researchers study diseases that matter to their own populations. These benefits are not automatic. Sequencing thousands of genomes will achieve little if countries cannot analyse the data, interpret the findings or translate useful discoveries into healthcare.

Sequencing DNA is only the start

National genome projects need laboratories, computing systems, trained scientists and health professionals who can interpret genomic information. They also need clear rules on consent, privacy, storage and who can use genetic data. Governments and project leaders can begin by agreeing on the health questions the project should answer, involving communities in its design and setting rules for consent and data access before collecting samples. Budgets should cover training, secure data systems and the people needed to interpret results, as well as sequencing itself.

People are contributing information that is deeply personal. They should know why their data are being collected, how they will be protected, who may use them and how the knowledge generated may benefit their communities. International collaboration will remain important, but countries should also have meaningful control over genomic data generated from their populations.

Can African countries afford this?

Many African health systems are already dealing with infectious diseases, shortages of health workers and rising numbers of people with cancer and cardiovascular disease. Genomics should not be presented as competing with these priorities.

Countries do not all need very large genome projects. They can start at a scale they can sustain, focus on health problems that matter locally and expand as capacity grows. Regional cooperation can also help by sharing sequencing, data analysis and training capacity. Long-term funding matters too. Projects that rely only on short research grants may generate useful data but struggle to maintain staff and equipment once funding ends.

What should success look like?

The easiest way to describe a national genome project is by the number of people whose complete DNA it reads. But that should not be the main measure of success.

For the public, the more important question is what changes because the project exists. Does it improve the interpretation of genetic tests? Does it help families affected by inherited disease get clearer answers? Does it generate evidence that can help improve treatment for African patients? And does it build local expertise and services that remain after the sequencing is finished?

National genome projects will not transform healthcare overnight. Their value will depend on whether the data are translated into better knowledge, stronger health systems and services that people can actually use. African genomic data are valuable to global science, but the countries and communities contributing those data should also benefit.

If these projects are built around local health needs, public trust, strong institutions and sustained investment, they can help close an important gap in the evidence used to understand health and disease. For ordinary people, that is what should matter most: not simply that more African genomes are sequenced, but that the knowledge generated ultimately helps improve healthcare for African populations.

Insertion des jeunes / Projet emploi jeunes et développement des compétences (PEJEDEC 3) : Le ministère de la promotion de la jeunesse présente à la banque mondiale les résultats des jeunes entrepreneurs en incubation

Source: Africa Press Organisation – French

Accompagnée du ministre de la Promotion de la Jeunesse, de l’Insertion professionnelle et du Service civique, Mamadou Touré, la directrice régionale du Capital humain de la Banque mondiale pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest, Trina Haque, a effectué, le 09 octobre 2026 à Abidjan, une visite terrain pour rencontrer les bénéficiaires du programme incubateur rattaché au Projet emploi jeunes et développement des compétences (PEJEDEC 3). 

Expliquant le sens de cette démarche, le ministre Mamadou Touré a expliqué que cette visite de la Banque mondiale s’inscrit dans le cadre de son accompagnement de l’État de Côte d’Ivoire dans sa politique en faveur de la jeunesse.

Pour le ministre, le PEJEDEC compte parmi les programmes d’accompagnement des jeunes les plus efficaces, ce que confirment les différentes évaluations menées, faisant remarquer que les activités des jeunes apportent une valeur ajoutée à l’économie ivoirienne, en particulier dans la transformation des produits locaux et la semi-industrialisation.
Et de plaider pour que les jeunes ayant réussi dans leurs activités soient davantage valorisés, de sorte que leurs parcours inspirent d’autres porteurs de projets, insistant sur la nécessité de mobiliser des ressources supplémentaires afin de soutenir les initiatives entrepreneuriales des jeunes.

Selon la directrice régionale du Capital humain de la Banque mondiale pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest, cette visite offrait la possibilité de dialoguer directement avec les bénéficiaires, dans le but de mieux cerner ce qu’ils attendent en matière d’accompagnement et de soutien à leurs projets.
 Elle s’est donc félicitée de la démarche portée par le PEJEDEC, qui met en valeur les efforts des jeunes entrepreneurs ainsi que les résultats de leur parcours.  Estimant que les jeunes bénéficiaires des projets se démarquent par leur dynamisme et leur aptitude à innover, elle reste convaincue que leurs initiatives participent à la création d’emplois. 

Propriétaire d’une entreprise de transformation de manioc en attiéké et en produits dérivés, William Essoh fait partie des bénéficiaires présents lors de cette visite à l’Institut européen de coopération et de développement (IECD). Il a notamment présenté son attiéké déshydraté, produit dans son unité de production implantée à Samo, dans la localité de Bonoua. « Grâce à cette formation, j’ai bénéficié d’un financement de plus de cinq millions FCFA, qui m’a permis d’acquérir du matériel de qualité et d’améliorer nos rendements ».

Pour rappel, 100 220 jeunes sont ciblés dans le cadre du PEJEDEC 3, pour un financement d’environ 45,895 milliards de FCFA.

Autonomisation des femmes : Une priorite de l’action gouvernementale

Source: Africa Press Organisation – French

Formation professionnelle, transformation agricole et soutien aux activités génératrices de revenus : le gouvernement ivoirien déploie plusieurs dispositifs pour favoriser l’autonomisation des femmes et renforcer leur participation à la vie économique.

À Issia, cette démarche se traduit notamment par les formations proposées par l’Institut de formation et d’éducation féminine (IFEF). Couture, coiffure, cuisine ou encore alphabétisation : ces apprentissages permettent aux femmes d’acquérir des compétences et d’envisager de nouvelles perspectives professionnelles. Élève dans cet établissement, Kaboré Salomé témoigne des progrès réalisés depuis son arrivée.

« J’entendais parler de la couture, qui est mon métier de rêve, mais je n’avais aucune notion. Depuis que je suis là, je sais faire beaucoup de choses. Je sais coudre, découper, lire et écrire », explique-t-elle.

Dans le secteur de la transformation du manioc, l’accompagnement public prend une autre forme. À Ferkessédougou, la coopérative féminine Djinkadji bénéficie, dans le cadre du Projet d’appui au Programme social du Gouvernement (PA-PSGouv), d’une unité semi-industrielle de production d’attiéké. Cet équipement contribue au développement de l’activité et à la création d’opportunités de travail rémunéré. Selon Kadjidja Diallo, membre de la coopérative, cette initiative permet aujourd’hui de faire travailler une cinquantaine de femmes.

L’action gouvernementale concerne également les productrices rurales. À Kakpéliakaha, la coopérative Siemetcha bénéficie d’intrants, de matériels agricoles et d’équipements hydrauliques pour développer ses cultures maraîchères et améliorer ses conditions de production.

Ces initiatives s’inscrivent dans un effort national plus large. Selon le bilan publié sur le portail officiel du gouvernement ivoirien, entre 2020 et 2024, les Instituts de formation et d’éducation féminine (IFEF) ont permis de former plus de 104 000 femmes et jeunes filles. Sur la même période, 38 200 femmes ont bénéficié d’une insertion professionnelle, dans l’emploi salarié ou l’auto-emploi.

À travers la formation, la production et la transformation agricole, l’action publique vise ainsi à élargir les possibilités offertes aux femmes de développer leurs activités et de renforcer leur autonomie.

Professional Fighters League (PFL) Africa : Le ministre adje silas metch ouvre de nouvelles opportunites de faire du sport un instrument d’influence et de developpement economique

Source: Africa Press Organisation – French


Le ministre des Sports, Adjé Silas Metch, prend part au lancement de PFL Africa au Maroc. Une présence qui illustre une ambition du gouvernement de diversifier les disciplines, attirer de grands événements internationaux et faire du sport un instrument d’influence et de développement économique pour la Côte d’Ivoire.

La présence du ministre ivoirien à Casablanca intervient dans un contexte d’intérêt croissant pour les sports de combat en Afrique. Organisé par la Professional Fighters League (PFL), acteur international du MMA professionnel, le lancement de PFL Africa ouvre une nouvelle fenêtre d’opportunités pour les pays désireux de s’inscrire dans la dynamique de cette discipline.

Cette présence pourrait favoriser des échanges avec les responsables de la PFL et ouvrir des discussions autour de perspectives concrètes : l’accueil éventuel d’une compétition en terre ivoirienne, une meilleure exposition des combattants nationaux et un accès accru aux circuits professionnels internationaux.

L’ambition sportive d’un pays ne saurait se résumer aux performances de sa discipline la plus populaire. Athlétisme, basketball, sports de combat, sports de raquette, disciplines olympiques ou paralympiques. il n’y a pas de discipline à négliger dès lors qu’elle peut faire émerger des talents, offrir des perspectives aux jeunes et contribuer au rayonnement national.  « Chaque univers sportif peut contribuer à révéler des talents, à mobiliser la jeunesse et à renforcer la présence ivoirienne sur les scènes continentale et mondiale ».

Cette orientation fait écho au discours prononcé par Adjé Silas Metch lors de la présentation des vœux du monde sportif, le 23 février 2026. Placée sous le thème « Tous mobilisés pour le rayonnement du sport au service d’une grande Côte d’Ivoire », cette cérémonie avait permis au ministre de rappeler le rôle du sport comme vecteur de cohésion sociale, levier de développement économique et instrument de rayonnement international.
