A COMME AFRIQUE. A COMME AILLEURS.

C'est un fait sur lequel des voix de plus en plus nombreuses s'accordent : l’Afrique s’éveille, émerge, avance... et façonnera, elle aussi, le monde de demain. Quoi de plus normal, alors, que de s’y intéresser. Doit-on, pour autant, occulter ce qui se passe en dehors du berceau de l’humanité ? Que nenni ! Vous déambulerez ici entre un « A comme Afrique » et un « A comme ailleurs ». Vous découvrirez des instants « T » qui, semblables à une photographie, vous apporteront des éléments sur une situation donnée. Entre articles, interviews et contributions, vous aurez accès à des points de vue. Que ces regards portés ici et là vous éclairent. Bonne lecture !
