Un clin d'œil amical et une bonne astuce à destination des copains musulmans, notamment à Dakar ou au Sahel, qui sont en train de préparer la tabaski...

This map (https://t.co/ry0IJFz5M2) is striking: the southern town of Sikasso, where I once spent a very peaceful year and which remained safe until relatively recently, now appears in the middle of an "Assessed JNIM Attack Zone."

@MeloCheick Non merci, y'a des gens en prison au Mali pour moins que ça

"Pays éternel" - This doesn't exist in the world. In world history, the state is a relatively recent form of political organization. Just a reminder. But, hey: if it makes Diop feel better about #Mali's current situation - fine.

She kept hearing the same thing. People back home couldn’t get married because they couldn’t find a home.

So Mariam Kamara built one.

Six family units on the same footprint a single compound house would occupy. Compressed earth blocks pressed from local clay and sand. Walls 30 centimetres thick. No air conditioning needed, just a fan on the hottest days in one of the hottest cities on earth.

Niamey 2000 didn’t reject modernity. It questioned whose version of modernity we’ve been building.

Franco-German media Arte, same documentary on the West Bank.

French title: "Occupied territory, the roads of annexation"

German title: "Why is Israel building new roads in the West Bank? New roads for the West Bank"

It's real. French video: https://t.co/Al91TjeyHz. German video: https://t.co/KDKhhpZOK0

The French frame it as occupation and annexation. If you read the longer video description they write: "Highways, tunnels, viaducts, park-and-ride facilities… the Hebrew state is investing considerable sums in this occupied territory. These roads are the engine of colonization."

The Germans however frame it as a mere infrastructure buildup. The video description just says: "Israel is investing heavily in new highways, tunnels, viaducts, and parking structures in the Palestinian West Bank. This encourages more and more Israeli citizens to settle in the new settlements, since these are now connected to major cities by modern and secure roads. These roads are also the answer to Israel's population growth."

For people in rural #Mali, a classic security dilemma summarized here by a Malian refugee in Mauritania:
“If you don’t tell the army you saw jihadists, the army will kill you. But if you tell them, the jihadists will find you and kill you.”

@BridgesFromBKO @afrobarometer No surprise. In the car to Neguela, I once listened to an hour lecture by my research team assistants (enquêteurs) about the great benefits of wife beating. As a young woman and team leader, it was disturbing to hear. It happened a few more times in the last 10 years since then.

@BrantPhilip_ @boubou_le_prof Could it be related to exchanges with the Malian civilians taken as hostages recently ?

[La Nomade @Jenn_Prvst]

@BrantPhilip_ What about the malian hostages?

[La Nomade @Jenn_Prvst]

@SahelAlerte @BrantPhilip_ Et pour les otages maliens ?

[La Nomade @Jenn_Prvst]

@konate90 À quel but ? Et on y va comment, en charrette ?

[Bridges from Bamako @BridgesFromBKO]

En 2020, les FAMa ne parvenaient à affronter les terroristes que dans le nord et le centre du pays. Aujourd'hui, grâce à leur souveraineté retrouvée, elles le font sur toute l'etendue du territoire national.

@BridgesFromBKO Maliactu has always been shaky and questionable but it's reaching a new level with AI 😂

[La Nomade @Jenn_Prvst]

Perso ça me donne pas du tout envie de rire. L'anxiété causée par cette situation m'empêche de dormir.

[Cheick Oumar Diallo @codiallo]

O kaira né ta yé Station la bi (C'est à l'image de mon cas aujourd'hui). Je suis dans le rang depuis deux heures de temps, je vois les gens mélanger les choses, c'est moi je descend aider la masse à "remettre de l'ordre". Jusqu'à beaucoup qui me connaissent me disent : "Non COD vraiment, c'est bien, il faut continuer à nous aider sinon ça va pas". Quand tout ça là est finit, on me dit ko "carburant bana". La prochaine fois là, on va mélanger tout ça ensemble, bilaye 😂😂😂

C'est pas facile cette situation mais trouvons le moyen de RÉSISTER et surtout... d'en rire... Allah kan kissi maw ka juguya ni hassidya ma! Kaa Faso jugu bai malo!

Wa pompiste, la prochaine je vais aider encore mais dans ce cas, faut garder pour moi aussi à côté ou bien? 😂😂

Wa jusqu'à là j'ai pas eu un litre... 🥵😂

"The blockade of Bamako by JNIM exposes more than the junta's incapacity, but also its agony. A jihadist regime in Bamako is no longer a distant idea but a hypothesis. Except for the dreamers drugged by populist slogans. Everyone would prefer another alternative..."
