Tracking down clandestine oil refineries in Nigeria

As the leading African oil producer, Nigeria exports an average of 2 million barrels of crude per day, which represents 90% of the country's export revenues.

The army is stepping up operations to put an end to the looting of these resources.

This illegal exploitation also leads to air pollution responsible for premature mortality for the inhabitants of the region.

50 years after a first exhibition during his lifetime, a selection of canvases and sculptures by the surrealist painter are back in Dakar, at the Museum of Black Civilizations.

A unique exhibition designed as a "dialogue" between works by Picasso and African objects that influenced him.
