It begs to ask: what is the point of making it to the mountain top if your loved one cannot benefit from it? When I move to Senegal to attend Hann Mariste’s boarding school, one of the top schools in the nation, I had to take an exam to be formally accepted. I did, but I
When I came back from home in 2017, I posted these words on my wall so that I can see them every morning before going out and evening before going to bed: “Economic capacity dictates political power. Unless we take control of the economies in our respective countries, our kids will be slaves of foreigners
Let’s never forget that when adults wage battles, children suffer to paraphrase Elie Wiesel. September 15 was supposed to mark the official start of the school year. The date was later postponed to an ulterior date October 3, and then October 8. A month later, school has not officially started. Most public and private schools
With the pending election of Judge Kavanaugh, America will further become a nation where a small insignificant minority creates legislations and institutions that imprison the vast majority to their political desires and wishes. Over the past decades, the culture of winning at all costs has gradually moved the country toward an aristocratic dictatorship that is
Economic capacity dictates political power. This is the reality of our life and our existence. It is also the greatest threat to our freedom, to our individuality and most importantly, to our cultural diversity. With the development of the internet and technology, many multinationals moved from developed to developing countries to protect their bottom line.
In times of atrocity, America weeps together. Recently, the killings in Last Vegas brought people together again. Previously, it was South Carolina and Sandy hook. For one second, our shared brokenness connect us. We realize our vulnerability and the fragility of our own existence. Our biggest enemy is no longer the distant or imaginary terrorist. It
L’expérience guinéenne était donc une source de fierté, de ferveur et de courage mais l’histoire s’en souviendra comme un échec palpable et pitoyable. La Guinée se précipita spontanément et impulsivement dans l’indépendance et comme l’avait prédit le général de Gaulle, ‘la Guinée en tirera les conséquences’ de cette décision. Sékou Touré et son clan politique du
Je suis peulh et fier de l’être. Mais le renfermement aveugle dans une appartenance ethnique ou culturelle ne doit pas conduire à la stigmatisation de l’autre. La fracture ethnique présente dans de nombreux pays est un produit de l’histoire qui permet de glorifier l’identité pure de l’ethnie en stigmatisant l’autre. Conséquemment, “envahis par le doute et la méfiance,
Une nation divisée, un peuple en désarroi, des medias nationaux ou internationaux qui ont pour vocation de répandre leur propre idéologie ou agenda politique que d’éduquer ou informer le peuple, une discrimination flagrante et une jeunesse qui continue à vivre dans le désespoir. Je ne parle pas de l’Afrique du Sud pendant l’apartheid ou des
Over the past century, Capitalism lifted billions of people out of poverty and created prosperity not just for a few, but for many. It led to technological innovation, which as a result increased the per capita income and the life expectancy of individuals. The world saw progress in medicine, biotechnology, disease prevention and agricultural production etc… Moreover, capitalism promoted human creativity and incentivized individuals to solve worldwide problems. Most importantly, it contributed to the expansion of democracy worldwide.
