➡️ youtu.be/ZEbvPL2jLek
Crises à répétition, renversements d’alliances et jeu de chaises musicales au sommet de l’État : c’est un véritable feuilleton politique que connait la France depuis la dissolution de l’Assemblée en juin 2024.

Président "monarchique", pays "ingouvernable", "fin d’un modèle" : Blast a recueilli les regards de journalistes européens et américains sur la France d’Emmanuel Macron. Par @TIM_7375, avec @LudovicPiedtenu, @afandrle, @ClemencePenard, @FrancoisBrabant, @AurianeLoizeau et @PieriKaine.

"Our politicians are demonising our community"
My piece for BBC News Africa on a small but rapidly growing number of Africans fleeing the continent and taking the increasingly popular route through Nicaragua into the US, seeking asylum from poverty, conflict and persecution.
African asylum seekers in the U.S. are watching the upcoming presidential election closely, as its outcome could reshape their future. “We deserve safety,” says Dr. Yves Kaduli, a Congolese asylum seeker, who fled violence in eastern DR Congo in 2014.
