    Rares sont les sociétés africaines qui ont gardé, enseigné et transmis une écriture aux générations futures. Jusqu’à nos jours, seules deux graphies ont survécu à l’oubli, la négligence et aux tourmentes de l’histoire : l’écriture amharique en Éthiopie et le tifinagh chez les Touaregs. La traite esclavagiste et les colonisations ont bloqué, d’une manière brutale, l’évolution naturelle de la culture et de la civilisation africaines. Le manque de traces scripturales de ...

    In the space of one day in late July 2023, the fate of Mohamed Bazoum, 63, changed completely; the comfort of his palace was replaced by a small dark room. The occupant was reduced from president of the 27 million-strong nation of Niger to criminal, facing charges of high treason and undermining the security of the nation (Reuters, August 14, 2023). His accusers were a military junta, led by the commander of the Presidential Guard, General Abdourahamane Tchiani, now self-imposed Pre ...
