Die Außenpolitik Indiens ist von einem Paradox geprägt. Das Land hat in letzter Zeit auf internationaler Bühne an Einfluss gewonnen, zugleich aber im regionalen Kon­text an Bedeutung verloren. Seit Mitte der 2010er Jahre konnte China seine wirtschaftliche und politische Position in Südasien stärken. Dies hat einer Reihe von Staaten aus Indiens Nachbarschaft neue Möglichkeiten eröffnet, sich kritisch gegen­über Neu-Delhi zu positionieren. Neu ist, dass die USA und China infolge des indisch-pakis­tanischen Konflikts von Mai 2025 begonnen haben, Indiens Rolle als Regionalmacht in Frage zu stellen – und damit auch seine Ambitionen als aufstrebende Groß­macht. Diese Entwicklungen werden Indiens Gewicht in der Region weiter sinken lassen. Eine Reaktion Neu-Delhis besteht darin, verstärkt mit Partnern im Indo-Pazi­fik sowie Mittelmächten wie Deutschland und Frankreich zu kooperieren, um seine wirtschaftliche Leistungsfähigkeit zu erhöhen. Abzuwarten bleibt, ob und wie sehr Indien da­mit auch seinen Handlungsspielraum auf regionaler Ebene wieder erweitern kann.

Für Donald Trump ist die kubanische Regierung eine außerordentliche Bedrohung der USA. Nach dem Wegfall von Öllieferungen aus Venezuela setzt die US-Regierung Kuba nun unter heftigen Druck. Sie droht allen Ländern, die weiterhin Öl nach Kuba liefern, mit hohen Zöllen, und das zu einer Zeit, da in Kuba Tiefsttemperaturen zu verzeichnen sind. Auch hier also wird mit Kälte Politik gemacht. Trumps Ziel: Kubas Regierung zu stürzen und so das Land zu “befreien”. Was immer das bedeutet.

African governments are entering the geopolitical competition over critical raw materials with a growing sense of strategic confidence. While the AU-EU Summit in Luanda in November 2025 reaffirmed political commitments on both sides, European initiatives continue to lose ground. It is true that the Critical Raw Materials Act has expanded the EU’s diplomatic footprint; however, its limited project pipeline and fragmented financing under the Global Gateway have left the bloc unable to match the speed and scale of competing offers notably from China, the Gulf States and the US. African partners expect cooperation on industrial projects and deeper integration into value chains. With stronger internal coordination and increased financing under the next Multiannual Financial Framework, the EU can strengthen both its ability to deliver and its credibility.

Persons fleeing their homes are exposed not only to physical dangers but also to severe psychological distress – from the ordeal of displacement itself and the experience of violence to unsafe living conditions and a lack of any prospects at their destination. It is not just those directly involved who are affected by the consequences of such trau­matic experiences; the social cohesion of societies and their economic development and stability are threatened, too. Both in the political discourse and in international aid programmes, mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) in displacement situations is often neglected. But MHPSS measures can have a positive social impact: on coexistence in the host countries and on peace processes in the countries of origin. Thus, they directly support the third dimension of the humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) nexus – the so-called peace pillar. The HDP nexus aims to link humanitarian aid and development to peacebuilding. Such efforts are particularly important in displacement situations.

The long-awaited upgrade improves networked situational awareness but has been fielded on only a handful of Warthogs, with the new antenna nearly indistinguishable from the existing TACAN installation.
