We knew it from the start: humanity remains at the mercy of changes in Covid-19 ... And if we are worried this week about the increased contagiousness of the British variant, we are hardly more reassured in the face of South African and even Brazilian variants, likely to affect the immune response tomorrow.

And it is confined again that Tunisia has just celebrated the tenth anniversary of its Revolution.

On January 14 in 2011, Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali was ousted from power.

An anniversary in peace and without demonstration because the country records more than 50 deaths per day. 

Ugandan opposition candidate Bobi Wine, main opponent of the irremovable Yoweri Museveni, claimed victory in the presidential election the day before on Friday, the first official results of which put the outgoing president in the lead.

At a press conference in Kampala, where social networks are suspended and internet access is severely disrupted, Mr. Wine "rejected" these initial results, denouncing "a real masquerade" and claiming to have "largely won "Mr. Museveni, who is running for a sixth term.
