  The Debye mass m_D is computed nonperturbatively in the deconfined phase of
QCD, where chromomagnetic confinement is known to be present. The latter
defines m_D to be m_D=c_D\sqrt{\sigma_s}, where c_D \approx 2 and
\sigma_s=\sigma_s(T) is the spatial string tension. The resulting magnitude of
m_D(T) and temperature dependence are in good agreement with lattice
calculations.
