#WorldBlogDay – World Blog Day is celebrated every year on August 31. This is the opportunity for the Cameroonian mondoblogger Lisa ABOU to recall what motivated her to appropriate this space of expression: writing. She writes to dream, to exist, to heal, to not forget.
🔗 Writing as therapy#WorldBlogDay – If blogging is essentially based on the exercise of writing, Mohamed CAMARA wants to demonstrate that this activity takes many forms over the years. More and more bloggers are specializing in the creation of video blogs (or vlogs), podcasts or even photography. Which makes the Malian blogger say that blogging has a bright future ahead of it, because it knows how to reinvent itself.
🔗 My life as a blogger#CoastalErosion #CIV – In Grand-Bassam, the effects of rising sea water levels following global warming are not just an illusion. Yves-Landry KOUAMÉ talks about the situation in the Ivorian city listed as a UNESCO world heritage site, which is seeing its beaches disappear under the waves. In relative indifference.
🔗 Ivory Coast: inaction in the face of rising waters#Aerial #Congo -Since July 10, 2023, Congo Airways, the national airline of the DRC, has had a new deputy general director. Before taking the co-pilot seat of this company, Mamitsho Pontshi worked as an airline pilot in the Airbus 320 family of aircraft. The blogger Maria MABA paints the portrait of a woman who fights against social determinisms.
🔗 From pilot to deputy general director of Congo Airways#Tourism #Africa – The biggest tourist destinations have one thing in common: they know how to sell themselves. And from the point of view of the Cameroonian Badal FOMOH, it is precisely on this point that the tourism policies of African countries fail. But one country is becoming an example to follow in this quest for tourist recognition: Rwanda, which has established a policy to promote the destination which is already bearing fruit.
