In neighboring Mali, jihadist attacks are part of everyday life. They target more and more villagers.

This is the case in Ouatagana, in northeastern Mali.

A village violently targeted last summer.

Our correspondent in Bamako Anne Fleur Lespiaut went there and was able to interview survivors, report.

The international community is increasingly concerned about the situation in Ethiopia. The conflict between the Tigrayans and the government has lasted for more than a year and some fear a rebel offensive on the capital Addis Ababa. The situation in Ethiopia will also be on the menu of discussions during the African tour of Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State who is starting a diplomatic visit to the continent. He will first discuss security issues in the region with President Kenyatta, as explained to us by our correspondent in Nairobi Bastien Renouil.

Finally spotlight on Grand Bassam in this edition.

The city is attracting more and more artists.

Listed as a UNESCO heritage site, it is now popular with a new generation of painters, photographers and designers who want to breathe new life into it.
