This account revisits a sorrowful pattern of unfulfilled commitments and vanishing investigations.From Soweto to Lomé: the shield of infanticideThe Day of the African Child was initially established to honor the students of Soweto...

This compelling narrative has resonated widely, particularly among a youth eager for emancipation from the former colonial power, France. However, as the relationship with the Russian Federation intensifies, marked by an 'exponential' and uncompromising rapprochement, the initial illusion of autonomy begins to fray.
