Environmentalist warns of days of uncertainty with ongoing prospections in Covas do Barroso

Covas do Barroso, in the council of Boticas, is experiencing days of uncertainty given the continuity of prospection works related to the possible lithium exploration. The situation is described by environmentalist Carlos Dobreia, who reports on a scenario marked by the contrast between the community's daily life and the operations taking place in the territory. The environmentalist expresses concern about the impact these activities may have on the region and the lives of its inhabitants, stating that the community faces a period of uncertainty regarding the future of the territory. Carlos Dobreia has been closely monitoring the situation and warns about the consequences that the prospection works may bring to the area, where operations are underway as part of lithium resource investigation.

Why this matters

Readers in the region face uncertainty about the future of their lands and way of life, with prospection operations taking place in a territory where local communities live. The situation arises in the context of growing interest in lithium extraction in Portugal, which may have environmental and social implications for the Alto Trás-os-Montes region.

Africa is not Las Vegas: the "new" jihadism

The article analyses the growing jihadist threat in Africa, arguing that the continent is becoming a new stronghold of Islamic extremism, similar to what Afghanistan once was. The author suggests that September 11 was partly the result of a failure of imagination by Western intelligence services, which could not conceive that a group so far away could carry out an operation of such magnitude. Now, Africa presents similar dynamics, with groups such as Boko Haram and other movements affiliated with Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State exploiting state fragility, poverty and local conflicts to expand, demanding an urgent reassessment of global security priorities.

BRICS and the new global order

The 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi demonstrated that the group has evolved from an economic acronym to a negotiation platform for the world order. The approved Declaration advocated for reform of the UN Security Council and international financial institutions, and condemned protectionism. In the economic field, the trend is towards reducing dependence on the dollar through national currencies, in a pragmatic and non-revolutionary process. Technological cooperation in artificial intelligence and digital economy also marked the agenda. Despite internal divergences between India and China, and conflicts involving Russia and Iran, the group reached consensus on the Middle East, food and climate security. The article concludes that Europe should recognize the BRICS as an actor of multipolarity, especially in a context where traditional allies like the US seem to disrupt European balances.
