وقعت أخيراً بالرباط، اتفاقية هبة خزانة المفكر الراحل محمد أركون لفائدة المكتبة الوطنية للمغرب، وذلك خلال حفل حضره وزراء وشخصيات بارزة من عالم الفكر والثقافة، وأفراد من عائلة الراحل ورفاق دربه.
وتميز حفل توقيع هذه الاتفاقية التي وقعها كل من محمد الفران مدير المكتبة الوطنية للمغرب، وثريا اليعقوبي أركون أرملة المفكر الراحل، بحضور أحمد التوفيق وزير الأوقاف والشؤون الإسلامية، ومحمد المهدي بنسعيد وزير الشباب والثقافة والتواصل.
وقال الفران إن هبة خزانة الراحل أركون، التي تتضمن أكثر من 5000 مؤلف، و7000 مجلة في مختلف الحقول الأدبية والعلمية، تأتي بفضل أرملته «التي شاءت أن توضع خزانة الراحل بين جدران هذه البناية العريقة (المكتبة الوطنية) بعد رحلة طويلة وعقبات لم تثنها عن تحقيق أمنيتها بأن يظل الأرشيف الأدبي للمفكر أركون خالدا تتوارثه الأجيال».
وأضاف الفران أن هذه الخزانة «تعد منارة علمية شامخة، وعلماً من أعلام الثقافة الإنسانية»، «ما يجعل المكتبة الوطنية تفتخر بهذه الهبة، التي ستكون مجالاً لتسليط الضوء على فكر المرحوم محمد أركون».
ونوه الفران بالمسار العلمي الحافل لأركون «الغني عن كل تعريف لما تركه من مؤلفات وكتب في العديد من المجالات العلمية والفلسفية»، مشيراً إلى أن الراحل أركون يعتبر «شخصية إنسانية اشتغلت على تصورات متعلقة بالثقافة العربية الإسلامية وسبل تجديدها».
من جهتها، أبرزت أرملة الراحل، ثريا اليعقوبي أركون، «المحبة» التي كان زوجها الراحل يكنها للمغرب. وقالت إن نقل خزانته الأدبية من باريس إلى المغرب كان تحديا كبيرا بالنسبة لها، معربة عن شكرها لكل الأطراف التي ساعدتها ليتحقق هذا المبتغى.
يذكر أن الراحل محمد أركون (1928 - 2010)، الذي ولد بمنطقة القبائل بالجزائر، وأوصى بدفنه في الدار البيضاء بالمغرب، هو مفكر وفيلسوف ومؤرخ في الفكر الإسلامي، كان تحليله للعمليات الجارية في إسلام الأمس مقروناً بدعواته المتكررة لإصلاح المجتمعات الإسلامية المعاصرة. وقد خلف عشرات الأبحاث والمؤلفات، في مجال تخصصه، وقد حصل على شهادة الدكتوراه في الفلسفة من جامعة السوربون بفرنسا، عام 1968، قبل أن يشغل بها منصب أستاذ فخري بالسوربون، كما درس في جامعات متعددة أوروبية وأميركية ومغاربية.

Saudi Arabia’s industrial production index fell 23.5% in August 2026 from a year earlier, weighed down by declines in mining and quarrying and manufacturing activity, data from the General Authority for Statistics showed on Sunday.

On a monthly basis, the index dropped 14% from July, amid declines in both main activities.

The data showed that the oil activities index fell 33.6% year on year, while the non-oil activities index rose 1.2%, reflecting divergent performances between the two sectors during the month.

By economic activity, the mining and quarrying index declined 35.8% year on year and 24% from July. The manufacturing index fell 8.8% annually and 3.2% month on month.

The decline in manufacturing was driven by a 24.1% year-on-year drop in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products, and a 3.3% decrease in the manufacture of chemicals and chemical products.

Some industrial activities, however, recorded annual growth. The index for electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply rose 9.4%, while the index for water supply, sewerage, waste management and remediation activities increased 7.4%.

On a monthly basis, the non-oil activities index rose 1.4%, while the oil activities index fell 21.5%, according to the authority’s preliminary data.

Trump: Putin, Ukrayna savaşında bir çözüme ulaşmak istiyor

ABD Başkanı Donald Trump yaptığı açıklamada, Rusya Devlet Başkanı Vladimir Putin’in Ukrayna ile savaşın sona erdirilmesine yönelik bir anlaşmaya varmak istediğini, ancak Ukrayna Devlet Başkanı Volodimir Zelenskiy’nin buna yanaşmadığını öne sürdü.

Trump, gazetecilere dün yaptığı açıklamada, “Rusya bir anlaşma yapmak istiyor. Ancak Zelenskiy, nedendir bilinmez, anlaşma yapmak istemiyor” dedi. Trump, cuma günü Putin ile gerçekleştirdiği telefon görüşmesine ilişkin değerlendirmesinde ise “Başkan Putin, bir uzlaşmaya varmayı çok istiyor” ifadelerini kullandı.

ABD Başkanı, Rusya’nın 2022’de Ukrayna’yı işgal etmesinden bu yana seçim düzenlemeyen Zelenskiy’yi de eleştirdi. Trump, “Bence seçim yapmalıydı ve bu, meseleyi birçok kez çözüme kavuşturabilirdi” diye konuştu.

Trump ile Zelenskiy, Washington yönetiminin Rus dizeline yönelik yaptırımları gevşetme girişiminin ardından dün karşılıklı sert eleştirilerde bulundu.

Trump, cuma günü Putin ile telefon görüşmesi yaptığını ve Moskova’nın küresel piyasalara büyük miktarda dizel yakıt sunmasına izin verilmesi konusunda mutabakata vardıklarını açıkladı.

Ukrayna ve Avrupalı müttefikleri bu adıma tepki gösterirken Zelenskiy, cuma günü gazetecilere yaptığı açıklamada, kararı “zayıf bir karar” olarak nitelendirdi.

Söz konusu eleştirilere ilişkin soruları dün yanıtlayan Trump, Zelenskiy’nin Rus petrol rafinerilerine saldırmaması yönündeki talimatına uymadığını öne sürdü.

Trump, bu saldırıların ABD ve İsrail’in İran’a karşı yürüttüğü savaşın yol açtığı küresel yakıt sıkıntısını daha da artırdığını ifade etti.


At Least 4 Dead as Cyclone Isaias Drenches Southern US

Four people died in the southeastern United States as post-tropical cyclone Isaias threatened flooding and tornado risks Saturday as it moved northward after making landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast.

Isaias roared ashore late Friday as a Category 2 hurricane near the resort community of Destin, packing sustained winds of 105 miles (165 kilometers) per hour before weakening overnight, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.

It was the first hurricane of an Atlantic season tamed by a historic El Nino weather phenomenon, and the first hurricane since 2024 to hit the US mainland.

In Mary Esther, a coastal community near Destin, Matt Howard said he was fortunate the storm weakened ahead of landfall.

Despite losing power and having his neighbor's metal shed crash into his backyard, "overall, we were okay," he told AFP.

"We hunkered down, got in the center of our house, and did all the things you're supposed to do, and luckily came out on the other side," he said.

Officials reported at least four deaths related to the storm, including two from trees falling on homes -- one near Pensacola in Florida and another in Birmingham, Alabama.

AFP reporters saw overturned vehicles, downed trees and power lines, and numerous buildings with damaged roofs.

Streets along the coast were largely deserted after authorities ordered mandatory evacuations ahead of the storm.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis warned at a briefing Saturday afternoon that threats remained even though the storm had passed.

"Just be careful out there. Downed power lines, standing water, any of that can be very, very hazardous. Don't run any generators inside your home or inside your garage," he said.

The governor's warning came after a man was found dead in Florida earlier in the day with a generator running in his garage, CNN reported.

Around 440,000 US customers were without electricity Saturday night along the storm's path through Florida, Alabama and Georgia, according to the PowerOutage.com tracker.

The US Department of Energy on Saturday authorized the release of up to four million barrels of reserve crude to stave off the impact of Isaias's path through the Gulf coast region, the country's oil refining hub.

- Flood risks -

A major flood threat remained as the storm headed northward and inland. The NHC warned that some areas could see upwards of 10 inches (25 centimeters) of rain.

"Considerable flash flooding and landslides are also possible across the Southern Appalachians," it warned in a briefing.

The threat was particularly worrying in the mountains of North Carolina, where communities are still recovering from hurricane Helene of 2024.

That storm made landfall in the same Florida region as Isaias, but remained at tropical storm strength as it moved northward, dumping record amounts of rainfall into the mountains and leading to deadly flooding.

Isaias's late arrival this season is largely due to an El Nino of historic strength.

El Nino, the warm phase of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), creates strong vertical wind shear over the Atlantic that tends to tear storms apart.

"We have been seeing basically nearly record strong shear throughout the Atlantic Basin this year, and that is consistent with what we'd expect to see with a strong El Nino event," Michael Fischer, of the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, told AFP.

In the Pacific, it has the opposite effect, weakening shear and allowing storms to grow. The Pacific has already produced several hurricanes this year, some of which hit maximum Category 5 strength.

Mexico's Baja California and the bordering US state of California were bracing for the landfall of the weakening post-tropical cyclone Rachel, expected late Saturday, as the much stronger Hurricane Simon was anticipated to make landfall Sunday in western Mexico.
