Paul Greengrass – „Captain Phillips“ (2013)

Mit dem Label „Action-Thriller“ wird so mancher Film vermarktet, der eigentlich in seiner Natur eher etwas ganz anderes ist. In diesem Geiseldrama ist es nicht die „Action“, wegen der sich das Anschauen lohnt, sondern die psychologische Dimension der Handlung. Hier kämpft Armut gegen Globalisierung und Tom Hanks gibt einmal mehr keinen Helden, sondern einen Überlebenden… (ARTE, Wh.)

Il Tempo: Iran, Meloni: "Viviamo in un tempo di 'policrisi'. Serve cooperazione strategica"

"Noi europei non siamo stati gli unici a prendere coscienza delle nostre vulnerabilità quando gli shock hanno colpito il sistema internazionale. Se la guerra in Ucraina ha scosso anzitutto l'Europa, le tensioni che attraversano il Medio Oriente e le minacce alla libertà di navigazione nello Stretto di Hormuz hanno posto anche le Nazioni del Golfo davanti alla necessità di confrontarsi con nuove fragilità e nuove incertezze. È quello il tempo della 'policrisi': uno scenario nel quale crisi differenti, anche lontane tra loro per origine e natura, finiscono per sommarsi, amplificarsi reciprocamente e produrre effetti sempre più profondi sugli equilibri globali. Ed è proprio per questo che serve una capacità nuova di cooperazione strategica, fondata non soltanto sulla gestione delle emergenze, ma sulla condivisione di una visione di lungo periodo". La presidente del Consiglio, Giorgia Meloni, all'Europa Gulf Forum di Navarino, in Grecia, delinea lo scenario a cui l'Europa è il mondo si trovano a far fronte. Per poi fare il punto sulla crisi che richiede una più rapida soluzione: la guerra in Medio Oriente.
"Siamo convinti - afferma Meloni - che una soluzione sostenibile alla crisi debba poggiare su alcuni pilastri. Il primo è la riapertura dello Stretto di Hormuz, senza pedaggi o restrizioni discriminatorie, perché è dalla libertà di navigazione che passa la prosperità non solo del Mediterraneo e del Golfo, ma di tutto il mondo". "L'Italia è pronta a fare la propria parte per contribuire, non appena ve ne saranno le condizioni, alla sicurezza della navigazione" nello Stretto di Hormuz, "nel solco di quanto già fatto nel Mar Rosso e nell'Oceano Indiano con le missioni Aspides e Atalanta". E nell'ambito della cooperazione internazionale lunedì 18 maggio, alle 10.30 la premier incontrerà a Palazzo Chigi il presidente della Repubblica di Polonia Karol Nawrocki mentre per venerdì 22 maggio, sempre a palazzo Chigi alle 15.30, ricevetà il primo Ministro d'Irlanda Micheál Martin.

Iran, Meloni: "We are living in a ‘policrisis’ time. Strategic cooperation is needed."

We Europeans were not the only ones to realize our vulnerabilities when shocks hit the international system. While the war in Ukraine initially shook Europe, the tensions in the Middle East and the threats to freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz also forced the Gulf States to confront new fragility and new uncertainties. This is the time of the “polycrisis” scenario – one in which different crises, even those distant in origin and nature, end up adding to each other, amplifying each other, and producing increasingly profound effects on global balances. And that’s why a new capacity for strategic cooperation is needed, based not only on emergency management, but on sharing a long-term vision. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, at the Europa Gulf Forum in Navarino, Greece, outlines the scenario that Europe and the world are facing. Then she assesses the crisis that requires a more rapid solution: the war in the Middle East.

“We are convinced – Meloni states – that a sustainable solution to the crisis must be based on several pillars. The first is the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, without tolls or discriminatory restrictions, because it is through freedom of navigation that the prosperity of not only the Mediterranean and the Gulf, but of the whole world, passes.” “Italy is ready to do its part to contribute, as soon as the conditions allow, to the security of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, “following the example already taken in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean with the Aspides and Atalanta missions.” And within the framework of international cooperation, on Monday, May 18th at 10:30 am, the Prime Minister will meet with the President of Poland Karol Nawrocki at Palazzo Chigi, while on Friday, May 22nd, also at Palazzo Chigi at 3:30 pm, she will receive the Prime Minister of Ireland, Micheál Martin.

Η Σομαλιλάνδη στην Αθήνα και το «ματ» στο Κέρας της Αφρικής

Η παρουσία του Υπουργού Άμυνας της Σομαλιλάνδης στο Athens Defence Summit σηματοδοτεί τη στροφή της ελληνικής διπλωματίας στο Κέρας της Αφρικής. Μια στρατηγική κίνηση για την ασφάλεια της ναυσιπλοΐας και την ανάσχεση της τουρκικής επιρροής στην περιοχή.

https://youtu.be/tt1xRT4XHj8

Ενώ οι προβολείς της εγχώριας αμυντικής επικαιρότητας παραμένουν πεισματικά στραμμένοι στις παραδόσεις των Rafale και τον εκσυγχρονισμό των F-16, μια αθόρυβη αλλά τεκτονική μετατόπιση συντελείται στα υπόγεια της ελληνικής διπλωματίας. Η παρουσία του Υπουργού Άμυνας της Σομαλιλάνδης, Mohamed Yusuf Ali, στο Athens Defence Summit (ADS), δεν είναι απλώς μια τυπική επίσκεψη. Είναι μια δήλωση προθέσεων που στέλνει κύματα ανησυχίας από την Άγκυρα μέχρι το Μογκαντίσου.

Η Σομαλιλάνδη αποτελεί ένα διεθνές παράδοξο. Διαθέτει δικό της στρατό, νόμισμα, δημοκρατικές εκλογές και ασφάλεια, αλλά στερείται επίσημης διεθνούς αναγνώρισης, καθώς θεωρείται de jure τμήμα της Σομαλίας. Γιατί λοιπόν η Αθήνα αποφάσισε να «ανοίξει την πόρτα» σε έναν παίκτη που τυπικά δεν υπάρχει στον χάρτη του ΟΗΕ;

«Στη γεωπολιτική, ο εχθρός του εχθρού μου δεν είναι απλώς φίλος μου, αλλά το στρατηγικό μου προγεφύρωμα.»

Η Τουρκία έχει επενδύσει πάνω από μια δεκαετία στην «κατάληψη» της Σομαλίας μέσω της βάσης TURKSOM στο Μογκαντίσου, ελέγχοντας ουσιαστικά την είσοδο του Ινδικού Ωκεανού. Η Ελλάδα, αντιλαμβανόμενη ότι η ασφάλεια της ναυσιπλοΐας στην Ερυθρά Θάλασσα είναι ζωτικής σημασίας για το λιμάνι του Πειραιά, αποφάσισε να παίξει το χαρτί της Σομαλιλάνδης.

Οι τρεις πυλώνες της ελληνικής κίνησης:

  • Αντίβαρο στην Τουρκία: Η Σομαλιλάνδη βρίσκεται σε μόνιμη τριβή με την (τουρκόφιλη) κεντρική κυβέρνηση της Σομαλίας. Μια αμυντική συνεργασία με την Αθήνα προσφέρει στη Hargeisa (πρωτεύουσα της Σομαλιλάνδης) την ευρωπαϊκή νομιμοποίηση που αναζητά.
  • Επιχείρηση «Ασπίδες»: Με την ελληνική ηγεσία στην ευρωπαϊκή επιχείρηση στην Ερυθρά Θάλασσα, η Αθήνα χρειάζεται επίγειους εταίρους που μπορούν να προσφέρουν logistics και πληροφορίες σε μια περιοχή που φλέγεται από τους Χούθι.
  • Διεθνές Δίκαιο & Θάλασσα: Η Σομαλιλάνδη έχει δηλώσει την πρόθεσή της να ευθυγραμμιστεί με τις αρχές της UNCLOS (Δίκαιο της Θάλασσας), σε αντίθεση με τις αυθαίρετες ερμηνείες που συναντάμε συχνά στην περιοχή.
  • Η κίνηση αυτή δεν στερείται κινδύνων. Η επίσημη αναγνώριση ή η στενή στρατιωτική συνεργασία με τη Σομαλιλάνδη μπορεί να προκαλέσει διπλωματικό επεισόδιο με την Αραβική Ένωση και την επίσημη Σομαλία. Ωστόσο, στην «Realpolitik» του 2026, η Ελλάδα φαίνεται να εγκαταλείπει την παθητική στάση του «καλού παιδιού» και να υιοθετεί μια στρατηγική ενεργητικής αποτροπής.

    Η πρόσκληση του Mohamed Yusuf Ali στην Αθήνα είναι το πρώτο «δόρυ» που ρίχνει η Ελλάδα μακριά από τα σύνορά της. Αν η συνεργασία προχωρήσει σε επίπεδο εκπαίδευσης ειδικών δυνάμεων ή παροχής αμυντικού υλικού, η Τουρκία θα βρεθεί για πρώτη φορά με έναν ισχυρό αντίπαλο στα νώτα της, σε μια περιοχή που θεωρούσε «δική της λίμνη».

    Key advantage is the system consumes only electricity, drastically reducing response costs
