#Guinée 🇬🇳 : mobilisons-nous pour la campagne #2anssansfonikeetbillo qui démarre le 1er juin prochain ! Bientôt deux ans que nos camarades Oumar Sylla, alias Foniké Menguè, et Mamadou Billo Bah ont été enlevés par des forces de défense et de sécurité. Les faits se sont déroulés le 9 juillet 2024 au domicile de Foniké Menguè, à #Conakry, sous les yeux de leurs parents et amis. Depuis, nous n'avons aucune nouvelle fiable sur leur sort. Exigeons la vérité et la justice sur la disparition de nos camarades. #2anssansfonikéetbillo

The idea that developing countries can skip industrialization — and instead develop based on services — is fundamentally misguided. Except for very small countries, *every* country that has transformed its economy from low- to high-income has done so via manufacturing.

In #Togo, the dictatorial regime of @fegnassingbe has sent security forces into hospitals and clinics to arrest injured protesters. That even hospitals are no longer safe havens for citizens is both appalling and disgraceful. #FaureMustGo #FreeTogo
