Hello World!
I always wonder why the media always portrait Africa in a negative way….
The typical stereotype image most people have of Africa is always a child with flies around his/her face
If not, we will be thinking of Africa as a land of war,

I then wonder:
If the beautiful picture that Camara Laye portrait for La Guinea in his book L’Enfant Noir did exist…
really striking as they are pictured in the Kirikou cartoon?
When will I see such coverage on Africa making the headline on the CNN, France 24 or BCC World and on our local media?
Africa is indeed a beautiful country far from the gloomy and dark image shown by the media
Cheers

I then wonder:
If the beautiful picture that Camara Laye portrait for La Guinea in his book L’Enfant Noir did exist…
are the African values, cultural richness
, tradition
and Conakry as wonderful as he describes
If the African flora
and fauna
really striking as they are pictured in the Kirikou cartoon?
When will I see such coverage on Africa making the headline on the CNN, France 24 or BCC World and on our local media?
Africa is indeed a beautiful country far from the gloomy and dark image shown by the media
Cheers
