Le sujet d’Alexis Duclos au Darfour avec BHL est à l’honneur dans le CORRIERE DELLA SERA:

Rome en ses métamorphoses

Les siècles qui connurent ici leur âge d’or ont laissé des strates successives dans cette ville érigée sur des marais asséchés. Qu’il s’agisse de la Rome antique, de celle des papes et de la traduction architecturale de leur pouvoir, arcs de triomphe, temples, églises, palais, fontaines, jardins : Rome a tout. Et d’authentiques princesses.

The quest of medicinal cristal stone

In Ladakh, a country in the heart of the Himalayan range, traditional tibetan medicine men use cristal stones to heal their patients. The medicinal stones can be worn as jewellery or prepared as drugs to be ingested but this practice is considered dangerous because cristal could be toxic unless it is crushed with yak milk on the full moon day of the 8th lunar month. At the time of collecting medinal plants, Tsering Amchi, medicine man in Leh Ladakh, organizes a nine-day trek through high mountains to find a medicinal cristal stone vein. It is a tough trek, crossing fierce streams and climbing through passes at an altitude of 5000 meters. It is the story of a man searching for a secret knowledge of the art of healing in a magnificent wilderness.

Mahajirines: yesterday, Allah’s migrants, today, with chains on feet.

It fell to them the role to islamise the people. Too many in a country in crisis, their future is uncertain. The word « mahajirine » means « emigrating », from « mahajir », the emigrant. At first, these emigrants were pious people living Meqqah for Medina in Saudi Arabia. The Mahajirines went there to study the Quran. So, the « mahajir » is a student in theology and a preacher of Islam. The word has another meaning, more recent: beggar. The students of these Quranic schools at Sudanese and Saudi instigations are more and more numerous. This has been occurring for some years in Chad. These two countries with their unbending Islam finance these madrassa. The families pay at the morst two bags of millet for the whole year (about 60 ? or 80$). One must pay for chadian public school and it cost much more than two bags of food. The center that I visited is known under the name of « mabrooka ». The boarders are about 400. It is situated at the beginning of the desert, outside of the city of Abeche, east of Chad close to the border of Darfur.
