The occupation of northern Mali by several Islamic extremist groups and the French military intervention poses a problem for China similar to what it faced in Libya but on a smaller scale. While China had to evacuate almost 36,000 Chinese from Libya, its ambassador in Bamako reports there are only between 1,500 and 1,800 Chinese living in Mali. The ambassador has instructed Chinese workers near the conflict area to pull back to Bamako and urged Chinese nationals to cancel nonessential travel to Mali. China is Mali's second largest trading partner just behind France. In 2011, China exported $327 million worth of goods to Mali and imported $135 million from Mali.
Yun Sun, visiting fellow at Brookings in Washington, wrote an analysis on 23 January 2013 titled How China Views France's ...

Je commencerai cet article en soulignant ce que j'attendais de ce recueil de nouvelles venues du bout du monde. L'exotisme, disons-le. Assumons.

This image of an African man with rubber man around his head has gone viral with a new country named in each e-mail in order to ridicule the nationals of that country although it probably originated in South Africa as signified by the references on the computer screen.. Photo credit:unknown
Many people have received the popular email of the African man with an elastic band and cell phone tied around his head with the caption reading "hands-free cell phone". A few weeks ago, I was sent a link to a blog with similar images depicting African non-inventions, entitled "11 amazing devices that could only have been invented in Africa". The blog consists of a number of 'inventions' - or rather African adaptations of contemporary technology credited to Africa. These adaptations include a ...
