Le transfert annoncé des marchands du marché international de Dantokpa pourra-t-il se faire ce jeudi 15 janvier 2026, comme annoncé ? C'est la grande question que l'on se pose au regard de l'affluence et de l'engouement qui caractérise le plus grand pôle commercial de l'Afrique de l'ouest, quelques heures avant la date de leur relogement sur les nouveaux sites.

L'opération de transfert des usagers du marché de Dantokpa, entamée le lundi 5 janvier 2026, devrait s'achever ce jeudi 15 janvier. Mais à quelques heures de la date butoir, rien n'est encore clair. L'ambiance dans le marché demeure celle des jours ordinaires où vendeurs et acheteurs vaquent normalement à leurs occupations. Rien ne présage d'un déménagement des marchands le lendemain. Certains ignorent même cette opération annoncée depuis des mois via la presse et autres canaux de communication depuis des mois. C'est le cas par exemple de Arouna, vendeur d'appareils électroménagers.
Antoinette, revendeuse de chaussures informe pour sa part avoir été informée, et rempli toutes les formalités d'enregistrement. « Le processus est en cours pour le déménagement. Mais depuis, plus personne ne dit rien. On attend pour voir », confie-telle.
Idem pour Razack, tenancier d'une boutique de vente de produits congelés. Après avoir rempli toutes les formalités, il attend également d'être relogé. En tant que vendeur de produits congelés, il ignore encore le nouveau site qui va l'accueillir.
Comme eux, plusieurs autres marchands informent avoir fait l'enregistrement mais attendent les consignes des autorités pour la suite du processus de relogement. Mais de temps en temps, renseignent-ils, des crieurs publics passent dans le marché pour informer les personnes encore en retard, à se rendre au siège de l'ex Société de gestion des marchés autonomes (SOGEMA), pour leur inscription.

Les débiteurs de l'ex SOGEMA hors-jeu
Selon les équipes en charge des formalités d'enregistrement, tout marchand doit impérativement s'acquitter de ses dettes vis-à-vis de la SOGEMA avant d'être enregistré. Une fois que les inscriptions sont faites, les registres sont convoyés à l'Agence nationale de gestion des marchés (ANAGEM) qui, selon l'activité qu'exerce le marchand, l'affecte à l'un des 4 sites retenus.
Au total, 4 sites ont été retenus pour le relogement des marchands de Dantokpa. Il s'agit du pôle commercial Général Mathieu KÉRÉKOU (GMK), situé près du stade de l'Amitié, et qui va regrouper quatre filières majeures à savoir, le textile, la maroquinerie, la cosmétique et la bijouterie.
Le pôle agroalimentaire du Grand Nokoué, encore appelé Marchés de gros d'Akassato, doté de six entrepôts secs et deux frigorifiques selon les sources officielles, va accueillir pour sa part, les grossistes (céréales, tubercules, oignons, haricots, maïs, ...etc.).
A ces deux sites, s'ajoutent les marchés de Midombo et de PK3.

By Joyce Chimbi
NAIROBI, Jan 15 2026 (IPS)

President Donald Trump has escalated efforts to further distance the United States from international organizations and entities focused on climate, the environment, and energy. This strategy is in step with his administration’s established approach to undermine and redirect funds and international cooperation away from climate and clean energy programs.

But where some see a catastrophic escalation, other global experts, such as Yamide Dagnet, Senior Vice President, International at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), see first and foremost a continuing formalization of damaging positions already taken by the current administration.

In January 2025, President Trump initiated a second withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on climate change to limit global warming. Simultaneously, the U.S. administration began to significantly reduce funding for climate programs, withdrawing from international climate funds such as the Green Climate Fund, cancelling billions in domestic clean energy grants, halting climate research and, overall, prioritizing fossil fuels over climate initiatives.

While conceding that the moment at hand is indeed overwhelming, especially coming on the back of COP30, Dagnet told IPS that “the rest of the world must turn this challenge into an opportunity to break new ground in climate action, financing and international cooperation.”

“I have a stubborn yet grounded optimism. The path ahead will be challenging but achieving the set-out climate goals is far from impossible. This is far from a catastrophe. Only one country has withdrawn from the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC); the rest of the world is still firmly on board.”

Regarding the exit from UNFCCC, Dagnet’s colleague Jake Schmidt from NRDC, pointed out in his blog that  the legal ramifications are such that it is unsettled constitutional law whether a president can unilaterally withdraw from international agreements that the Senate gave its advice and consent to join. The Constitution specifies the entry provisions, but it is silent on the exit provisions.

Dagnet also noted that while the withdrawal from the UNFCCC is unprecedented, making the United States the only nation outside the bedrock UN Climate Treaty, “the exit is not cast in stone; a future administration could bring the country back to the fold.”

Nevertheless, the United States will be back in the headlines come January 27, 2026, when the country will technically become a non-signatory to the Paris agreement and will not be part of international climate negotiations unless the withdrawal is reversed.

“The optimism I feel is also grounded in pragmatism. To borrow the words of author James Baldwin, ‘Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.’ The U.S. administration was not represented at COP30 and still the world pushed forward a comprehensive climate action agenda to move beyond pledges through accelerated collaboration between governments, businesses, civil society, and investors.”

In his 2025 inauguration speech, Trump called oil ‘liquid gold’ and vowed to ‘unleash’ America’s fossil fuels in the form of oil and gas. Dagnet says the die was already cast on the path forward for the United States and that the world should continue to rethink, re-strategize and reorganize, for those who are for climate action are more than those against.

Trump finds an assortment of 66 UN and non-UN entities, including those focused on climate and clean energy, that are not aligned with the United States’ national interests. They include the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is the world’s most authoritative scientific body on climate change, UN water, UN Oceans and UN Energy.

Others are the International Union for Conservation of Nature, which is the global authority on technical and policy advice on conservation, and the UN Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing countries.

Non-UN organizations include the International Renewable Energy Agency, Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century, 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Compact, Commission for Environmental Cooperation, Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Minerals, and Sustainable Development, and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services.

There are widespread concerns that the withdrawal will have far-reaching negative consequences on financing and technical support for climate and clean energy. But Dagnet reminds us that  the United States did not pay its dues to the UN in 2025. The UN Chief has expressed regret over the country’s exit from UN entities and urged the Trump administration to settle what is owed to the international body, as the payments are mandatory. The United States owes the largest share, amounting to about 22 percent of the regular budget.

Similarly, before this withdrawal, the United States was already failing to fulfill many of its climate finance commitments.  While this new development, alongside past insufficient funding pledges, signals a major retreat from international climate action and support for developing nations, that challenge is  not insurmountable.

Climate financing trackers found that even during President Joe Biden’s administration, the United States’ international climate finance contributions were insufficient and fell far short of goals. Dagnet notes that while the country’s actions on multilateralism represent a setback, multilateralism is also evolving and will hopefully be capable of navigating uncharted territories.

She hails the broad recognition that climate change urgently and sustainably requires global cooperation and collaboration. She further stressed that international cooperation would expand the climate finance basket, as financial support for climate action can come not only from governments but also from a diverse array of non-state and public-private actors.

“This withdrawal is not the end of the road.”

Dagnet is one of nine members of the GHG (Greenhouse Gas) Protocol Steering Committee, which is the primary governing body providing direction and oversight to the GHG Protocol. The Protocol provides accounting standards and tools to help the corporate sector, countries and cities track progress towards climate goals.

The development of such standards is facilitated through a transparent multi-stakeholder governance process, drawing on expertise from business, finance, governments, academia, auditors and civil society in a milestone move and landmark partnership, she says.

The GHG Protocol is leading the global harmonization of greenhouse gas accounting with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), as part of the COP30 Action Agenda, to enable comprehensive decarbonization action. This collaborative effort will strengthen the enabling conditions (in terms of policy, benchmarking, and governance) that are paramount to achieving sectoral breakthrough and will shape the journey towards the next global stocktake, or inventory taking, on progress towards climate goals in line with the Paris Agreement.

Subnational efforts also keep Dagnet pragmatically optimistic and solutions-focused. Indeed, she felt energized after attending the Resilient Cities Forum 2025 in London, a remarkable highlight as a major international platform where global leaders and experts converged to tackle urban resilience, emphasizing collaboration, best practices and practical innovation for sustainable, equitable cities.  She was inspired by the various and clear visions for a healthier planet.

“The resolve was stronger than ever,” says Dagnet.

“Importantly, we have locally designed tools, international frameworks and corporate standards to turn our vision towards a more prosperous, healthier and greener future into our lived reality. The worst we can do is to give up our imagination and ability to innovate.”

Le procès de 24 travailleurs humanitaires accusés d'avoir aidé l'entrée de migrants en Grèce reprend ce jeudi 15 janvier devant la cour d'appel de Mytilène, sur l'île de Lesbos. Ils encourent jusqu'à vingt ans de prison. Cette affaire est « l'un des plus graves exemples de criminalisation de l'aide humanitaire en Europe » selon le Parlement européen.
