After the departure of the last American soldiers, the American press wonders about the fate which awaits the Afghans who could not leave the country before the deadline of August 31st. In
The
New York Times
, R., a 38-year-old Afghan, gives an edifying testimony about the long wait at Kabul airport, hoping to board a plane with his family. "When the last American flight left Afghanistan, (...) all hope was lost"
,
he wrote. This young father worked for American NGOs for three years and had the necessary papers to join the United States. "But our dream has become a nightmare"
,
he said.
He lived under the Taliban regime in the late 90s. He never forgot the terror and the daily executions.
Now his goal is to get his family out of the country, including, he says, if he is to lose his life.
The
Washington Post
reports a general sense of bitterness among Afghan civilians and disgust among some US servicemen.
An Afghanistan veteran former member of the Obama administration speaks of President Joe Biden's "dishonesty" towards people who were promised evacuations.
A year later, what remains of the protest movement against President Alexander Lukashenko in Belarus? "To stifle a popular protest, it is necessary to erase the most visible traces of it, in particular the flags or the hostile slogans", explains
Liberation
in a double page devoted to the actors of the movement. "I thought that President Lukashenko was going, but I had not anticipated the live ammunition or grenades or torture"
,
says one of the opponents of the Belarusian regime.
In August 2020, the contested re-election of Alexander Lukashenko had pushed thousands of people to march through the streets, despite the risks. Most of its opponents now live in exile and are still seeking to bring down the regime. The autocratic president came out of this protest strengthened, in particular thanks to a well-established fear strategy and financial and political support from Moscow, recalls the French daily.
This is a horse remedy, and that's it. Ivermectin, a common antiparasitic used for equines is described by several doctors as a potential treatment for Covid-19. But the British daily
The Guardian
recalls that no scientific study has come to confirm this thesis. It was enough for those opposed to vaccination to want to be administered ivermectin. Except that such a drug is potentially fatal for humans, remind the American health authorities. Despite this, an Ohio judge ordered state medics to administer it to a patient on the verge of death.
About ten laboratories are currently developing treatments to counter the disease.
According to the newspaper
Le Figaro
, one of these treatments could even come from France: Xenothera, a French biotech is studying a drug based on polyclonal antibodies.
The laboratory expects a launch on the market at the end of the year 2021.

"Adios", headlines the Catalan daily
Sport,
with a back photo of the player.
Another flagship image of the Spanish press, this back photo of Kylian Mbappé, on the front page of
Marca
, who will not ultimately go to Real Madrid.
At least not this summer.
According to the Madrid daily, his club, PSG, refused to sell him despite a pharaonic offer of at least 200 million euros.
"You will always have Madrid," Marca headlines.
