Second edition of Energy Week, Second edition of Energy Week, Second edition of Energy Week, in Khartoum and Juba, in Tripoli and Beni, and there, and there, and there too… Humanity must know one thing : only one death, it's too much. only one. I wonder as I write these lines, how I am concerned by what happens between blue-yellow and white-blue-red. I could ignore this. But I know something, it’s that humans, whatever its color, has inestimable value. Only one death, it's already way too much. Moreover, in this interconnected world, what happens in Brasilia can impact what happens in Perth. This is today the case of the war between Russia and Ukraine.

But it should also be noted that everyone is more concerned about an event in their direct environment than about another that takes place thousands of kilometers away.. Dependence on certain information providers, I can never say it enough, is a problem. Word is the prerequisite for action. People who do not master their communication should not be surprised that they do not master anything else. A sister recently asked me what media she should follow on a daily basis, to stay informed. I told him there wasn't any. Objectivity is an ideal, neutrality a myth, and even the simple balance, basic principle of journalism, is in constant imbalance.

I'll tell you what I answered him. “Follow all the media you can, check when you can, use your common sense and form your own opinion. " Today, one of the principles that must be applied to a media to make it a great, it’s his credibility. But it is a long-term construction, which itself only guarantees for a time the quality and truth that this channel could serve. And at the slightest scratch in history, it collapses like a house of cards, and its reconstruction is as solid as a glass made of shards collected and glued back together. France to France 24 and TV5 Monde to spread its point of view, UK has BBC, the United States has CNN, to only talk about TVs. Confronted with this, China very quickly set up CCTV which became CGTN, Israel to I24 News, Japan surfs on NHK, the Arab world brandishes Al-Jazeera, Russia releases RT and Sputnik, formerly RIA Novosti. All these channels are followed by theirs and by us. On our side, Africa 24 is mostly followed by us – when we have time and when we are French speaking – and is certainly not followed by others. Africa Media even less. No global English- or Portuguese-speaking African media run by Africans. I let this information make you think.

As for kyiv-Moscow, lessons : 1, you have to keep your word ; 2, history is a good teacher ; 3, the world is not “seeing baby”, it is for the strong ; 4, nuclear power will disappear when there is someone better than it to strike ; 5, respect is not given, he pulls away ; 6, if you think we have too much of your time, it's because you don't have time for yourself ; 7, we have a long way to go. Have a great week everyone !

there are more movements of Africans within their continent than from Africa to the outside
