Pour faire face à de nouveaux défis et améliorer sa compétitivité internationale, Candido a entrepris de retructurer "Candido, idéaliste".
L'adresse du fil RSS pour suivre la prose passionnante du dit Candido est désormais :

ou bien

Cette restructuration s'est effectuée sans concertation avec les syndicats ni plan social, et vous devez même mettre à jour vos aggrégateurs RSS vous-même.
it's been a while I haven't written anything in English. Not sure this will ever happen again. I leave this page open just in case the inspiration comes back, but I prefer now to write in French.
There are enough English-speaking blogs in this world. In addition, it's getting increasingly difficult for me to give up my mother language. I don't like the style of my English writings either, as it remains to me more of a business use (although those who know me might argue that I speak English in my personal life as well).
Other cultural reasons lead me to believe that the French-speaking readers are more likely to read this blog. Opinions are always welcome on this topic.
Well... After this week back from the country, I spent some days being quite busy, and let's face it, lazy.
I'm getting away again next week, same destination. It's an charming village in the mango and banana production area of Mali, where phone lines are scarce and unreliable. No internet, only the radio an lame ORTM (governmental TV/radio). The community changed its way of communication when USAID financed the local community radio. The radio station is now used to broadcast private messages, in between social programs and music.
Most of the time someone shows up at the radio station with a written text that will be read on air, for 1000 FCFA (1.5 euros). It's often something like "Boubacar Sidibé is asked to come over to the phone booth at 8pm, his family has an important message for him".
People have some kind of control on it, probably more than on public administrations.
Anyway, all this to tell I've been busy, too busy to follow politics news, only able to follow the Washington Rat Race (thanks to my housemates). I could only read the excellent Torpedo. My level of information is quite low.
So see in another week, or when I find something worthwhile.
Today after the lesson, I had a talk with Alima.
She's very active in an Women help association, fighting for women rights, against excision...
She explained me the different excision methods with drawings, and showed me some very explicit photos, including a women ready to give birth (the child died). I learnt a lot, really.
They are organizing meetings in villages where they split people in 3 groups. The greens are against excision, the yellows are undecided, the reds are for.
Then they start talking and ask each group for arguments. The reds often come up with "white men want to ruin our culture and traditions. Your association is corrupted".
Alima told me that in the area, about 98% of women had been excised. Didn't know it was that much.
