The lion roared. A thunderous, gut-freezing roar. Followed by a ferocious growl, just to make sure that the adrenaline would reach explosive heights. Again, the thunderstorm effect, menacing, rumbling in the distance. This was a different storm. I could see the massive head. Its contour. Did I notice the eyes, yellow and green? A lion. Male and twenty yards away. Covered by a dense, green, bush. Since I am an admirer of Hemingway’s adventures, I was aware that the author estimated t ...

Cette note vise à mettre en lumière le cycle d’ajustement à la fois financier, économique et politique affectant deux pétro-États d’Afrique centrale, le Gabon et la République du Congo (Congo-Brazzaville). Unis par leur système économique de rente et leur histoire coloniale commune, ces deux pays n’en ont pas moins connu des destins politiques différents après leur indépendance, le premier conservant une relation privilégiée avec la France tandis que le second optait rapidement pour ...

Recep Tayyip Erdogan was humming and he had reason to feel joyful. His people had entrusted him with reforming their constitution, which would give him more power, incredible power. Possibly, he could realize his dream after all, the revival of the Ottoman Empire. Such Turkish power last seen in the era of Osman I at the end of the 13th century in northern Anatolia. A neo-Ottoman, is it a vision of a megalomaniac? Would Saudi Arabia ever be willing to be ruled by a Turk? A Turk who ...
