Psg targets julian alvarez amid summer transfer race

Even with a contract extension running until June 30, 2030, star forward Julian Alvarez is on the radar of top European clubs as the summer transfer window approaches.

The controversial use of panafricanism by Kemi Seba to evade legal accountability

Despite clear regulations, the sight of people lighting up in crowded areas is still commonplace, creating a stark contrast between policy and practice. Where the law fails: markets and crowded spaces In locations like the Central Market or Dembé Market, the air is thick with cigarette smoke mingling with dust and the aroma of street food. Vendors and customers alike light up without hesitation, seemingly unbothered by the health risks. Pélagie, a fish seller, shares her frustration: « We’re so used to the smoke here that we barely notice it anymore. There have been announcements, but no one follows them. It’s unacceptable. » Uns...
