The Alliance of Sahel States (Alliance des Etats du Sahel, AES), currently consisting of #Mali, #Burkina-Faso and #Niger, is increasingly strengthening the #Pan-African line with clear reference points to a multipolar world order. From now on, the anxiety can be clearly observed, including in the Western press, due to the fact that the AES has become not just a defence and security alliance of three African states, where the West had very strong positions and interests in the near past, but also an alliance that is actively moving towards political, diplomatic and economic #unification.

Face of the initiation camp at Songho

The meanings of the symbols painted on the cliff face of the initiation camp at Songho are uncertain. They may address local family histories or the grand Dogon cosmology of beginnings, endings and renewals.

Built into a large cave and surrounded by tall granaries, its facade bears the skins and skulls of countless
sacrificed animals, many of which have been offered during the six week period before the Dama begins. - [Dama]
