From collapsing mountains in Nepal to jointly manufactured European-Ukrainian drones, from humanoid robots running through Beijing's streets to sanctions strangling Iran, from social networks now under state surveillance to Ebola vaccines deployed in the Democratic Republic of Congo: everywhere, the world is moving. Fast. Very fast. Nature's violence first reminds us that human progress has not eliminated societies' vulnerability. On the Nepal-Tibet border, landslides and sudden floods have killed hundreds and left over 900 people missing. Rescue efforts advance under terrible conditions, hampered by rain and geography. Elsewhere, geopolitics is hardening. Iran wields the Strait of Hormuz as a negotiating lever, while Washington tightens its economic grip on Tehran. Secondary sanctions, companies and ships blacklisted, pursuit of revenues that could finance the Iranian regime and the Revolutionary Guards: confrontation no longer plays out solely with missiles. It plays out through banks, trade, energy and supply chains. In this world where economics becomes a weapon, states must choose their alliances, diversify partnerships and protect their interests. Yet power is no longer measured solely by the number of soldiers or tanks. It is also measured by mastery of technologies, resources, data and industrial chains. Europe understands this well. Brussels and Kyiv want to jointly produce drones, combining Ukrainian military experience with European industrial capacity. War, however terrible, thus accelerates certain technological transformations. The drone is no longer marginal equipment: it becomes a central instrument of modern warfare. China already offers a glimpse of what tomorrow's industrial world could look like. In Beijing, the World Humanoid Robot Games show how far robotics has progressed. Yesterday, humanoids were mostly laboratory prototypes. Today, they are beginning to enter industry and various sectors. China's demonstration is not merely a technological spectacle. It is a warning: those who master artificial intelligence, robotics and automation will have a considerable economic advantage tomorrow. And Madagascar? While other countries manufacture the technologies that will reshape the global economy, we continue fighting elementary problems of governance, energy, water, security and institutional organization. We cannot forever watch the train pass by explaining why we haven't yet bought a ticket. Even the social media debate is changing dimension. In the United States, Meta faces considerable judicial and political pressure around minor protection. Commitments are announced to limit young people's daily access and review products designed for them. In Africa too, the issue is gaining momentum. Rwanda, Nigeria, Senegal
