Dear readers, friends and passers-by,
If you’re here, you must be interested in world news beyond the western-centric agenda, and in people more than just army movements.
One of the reasons I came back to hard, daily news a year ago, and stopped writing only features and cultural analysis, was the treatment of the war in Ukraine in most global media, and its ‘black-n-white, power-obsessed, war-mongering, neo-Cold-War tone.
Since then, the words “war” and “massive attacks” seem to have become more than “back in style”, they are “trending”, they sell, and they contribute to make your stories count.
If this should be deplored, peace journalism revived, and solution studied, wars are also never treated fairly or equally around the globe.
Once more, the wars in Ethiopia, in Sudan, and in the Sahel are less important for western readers than the one involving their natural ally, the USA, and its stark enemies, Russia and China.
In my work, I try to correct these prejudices by focusing on humanitarian angles, the “rest of the world”, meaning the Global South, and in doing so not to headline on the consequences of the events in the places for France’s agenda only, or the US’s…
Here are a few recent articles to start with, and if you have questions, do write.
Thanks for reading as usual,
melissa
