A U.S. government plane prepares to land at the Nur Khan Airbase in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, Monday. As the ceasefire deadline nears, U.S. negotiators are returning to Islamabad for a second round of talks, despite an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson stating that Tehran has no plans to participate. EPA-Yonhap TEHRAN — Iran said it had yet to decide whether to attend a new round of peace negotiations with the United States, as Washington’s delegation prepared to depart for Pakistan on Monday.

Since initial talks in Islamabad ended without a deal earlier this month, both sides have accused the other of breaching the truce. “We have no plans for the next...

Dans un entretien accordé à Jeune Afrique, elle rappelle une réalité souvent occultée : « Les peuples autochtones protègent près de 80 % de la biodiversité mondiale », alors qu’ils ne représentent que 5 à 6 % de la population...
