“La vie est un voyageur qui laisse traîner son manteau derrière lui, pour effacer ses traces “, disait Aragon. Ce grand poète avait tort. Certains laissent des traces indélébiles dans la mémoire collective et dans nos cœurs. Comme Mahammed Dionne qui aurait eu 66 ans ce jour.

“Deux hommes emprisonnés pour complot de sorcellerie contre le président de la Zambie”. Entre ndombolo, champagne frelaté, petites mesquineries et chaleur moite des saisons de pluies, les soi-disant élites africaines ne cesseront jamais de nous arracher des sourires jaunes.

"Democracy does not succeed so much in preventing non-visibly explosive nastiness... #Democracy isn’t an automatic remedy of anything. It isn’t like quinine to kill malaria. Democracy is a way of enabling." Fascinating thoughts by the great Amartya Sen. https://t.co/umJ7Y66KGk

Today is #DemocracyDay2025. Why aren’t many people talking (seriously) about it? Is democracy an intellectual and political illusion? My take on the painful trilemma at the heart of democracy (@CarrCenter 2023).

Re-reading this important book by @JosephEStiglitz on how today’s extreme inequality is eroding the rule of law & democracy. It’s time for all thinking people to realize that this high inequality is not natural & we must act to reverse this trend.

Ruben. 13-09-1958. Que penserait-il de ce qu’il est advenu de son combat, de son sacrifice et de son espérance ?
C’était un médiocre samedi pluvieux dans la forêt où il s’était retranché avec des proches. Sans armes. Ce 13-9-1958, un oracle lui avait dit que la journée serait bonne. A 11h30, des soldats ont surgi et l’ont abattu. Son corps a été lynché. Son souffle vit encore. Ruben UmNyobe

L’Europe officielle a longtemps voulu oublier sa mémoire. L’amnésie stratégique. Pas si vite !, leur dit Olivette Otele, qui documente les éléments de cette supercherie et montre que l’Europe raciale n’a jamais existé. Son livre change la manière dont s’écrira désormais le passé.

Photo hallucinante de Tingshu Wang (@TingshuW Reuters) à la une du New York Times aujourd’hui. Elle en dit bien plus sur notre époque que qu’un livre entier. L’image impose au verbe la tyrannie de son talent.
