After Watching 10 Migrants Die at Sea, He Now Pleads: ‘Stay’
Witness to a tragedy on a boat to Spain,
Moustapha Diouf has made it his mission
to persuade young people not to emigrate from Senegal,
but even he concedes that it’s getting harder to make his case.

« L’échappée » Mediapart 22 November 2024
« L’échappée », la nouvelle émission d’Edwy Plenel
video Mediapart 22 November 2024
Deux citations introduisent Universaliser (Albin Michel),
le nouvel essai de Souleymane Bachir Diagne.
L’une de Léopold Sédar Senghor :
« Mesurer l’orgueil d’être différent au bonheur d’être ensemble » ;
l’autre de Jean Jaurès :
« Vers ce grand but d’humanité,
c’est par des moyens d’humanité aussi que va le socialisme. »
Tourné au Musée national de l’histoire de l’immigration à Paris,
ce premier numéro de « L’échappée »,
la nouvelle émission de Mediapart présentée par Edwy Plenel,
revisite le parcours de ce philosophe singulier,
né le 1er novembre 1955 à Saint-Louis (Sénégal),
devenu aujourd’hui l’une des voix africaines contemporaines
les plus
respectées.
Son dernier livre synthétise la réflexion qui l’a conduit
à élaborer le concept d’un universel « latéral ou horizontal »
qui soit « à même d’embrasser le pluriel du monde »,
ce pluriel du monde nié par le colonialisme,
qui « vise à ramener l’ensemble du monde au même ».
L’originalité de cette pensée est qu’elle invite au décentrement
en s’appuyant sur les philosophies africaines et islamiques.
Souleymane Bachir Diagne revendique en effet un islam rationaliste
ancré dans la tradition soufie.
Il a raconté son itinéraire de vie
dans Le Fagot de ma mémoire (Philippe Rey)
et,
plus récemment, dans Ubuntu (éditions EHESS).

The veiled rapper breaking taboos for women in Senegal
Video The Guardian 31 December 2019
Mina La Voilée is a female rapper from Parcelles, Dakar,
who is breaking taboos by rapping about women's rights.
As a woman who chooses to wear a veil,
she explains how criticism from industry professionals
who told her "the veil and hip hop don't flow together"
drove her to succeed, and inspired her to tackle
other controversial societal issues in her lyrics
such as child marriage, rape and infanticide.
She performs both as a solo artist
and as part of an all-female rap movement,
Genji Hip Hop, who use their music to fight
cultural stereotypes and gender violence

Atlantic crossing
Record numbers attempted
the perilous Atlantic crossing last year (2023)
after other routes to Europe
across the Sahara Desert and Mediterranean Sea
became more heavily policed.
Over 39,900 people reached
the Canary Islands from West Africa,
an all-time high,
according to Spain’s interior ministry.
Most were from Senegal
or neighbouring Gambia.
But rickety boats,
motor failures and bad weather
are just a few of the dangers
that too often lead to disaster.
At least 6,007 people are believed
to have died on this route in 2023,
according to migrant rights group Caminando Fronteras
(Walking Borders).
Others likely left and were lost without trace.

If It Were My Home
The headlines tell a lot
about the crisis in Yemen:
internal strife,
evacuations of international aid workers,
Saudi Arabian airstrikes.
But you may have one very basic question
that you can't easily find an answer for:
How big is Yemen,
anyway?
You can look at maps
and check out Wikipedia
but wouldn't it be great
to just to slap an outline of Yemen
on top of a map of the United States
to get a sense of its size?
IfItWereMyHome.com
lets you do just that.
