Toute cette confusion autour de Dr. Tariq Ramadan m’ennuie. Il y a près d’une année, j’eus la chance de te saluer, de te parler et de te remercier. Je t’ai surpris de voir que ta taille était comparable à la mienne. Ce jour-là, j’étais comme un enfant qui venait de recevoir sa première console. Mon visage exprimait une joie rare,
After the Las Vegas shooting, I stated as long as, we opt to remain in this vicious cycle of inertia, we just have to pray that our family is not there when the next tragedy occurs. We already expect it. I wished that I could say that I was wrong. My prediction never became a
“I am a man of God and I do not want to push my members to worry about something that is in the hands of God” said the pastor. It is arguable that his stance was predictable. He is not atypical within the African immigrant community. Over the past few years, I have met many like him,

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
Aucune nation ne peut se tourner vers le chemin du progrès et de la dignité en oubliant son passé, son vécu et sa mémoire. Cette mémoire est un rappel à la possibilité et à la limite de la nation. Le scandale guinéen est cette incapacité de se tourner vers ce passé pour donner une orientation
