Sri Lanka : une île dans la tourmente by Anthony Goreau-Ponceaud, Delon Madavan

“…Shortages and inflation of basic necessities (food, fuel, medicines) have provoked an unprecedented popular uprising of Sri Lankans since March 2022, across ethnic and religious divides, which led to the flight of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa on July 9, 2022, and his resignation two days later, putting an end to almost two decades of rule by the Rajapaksa brothers.

Does Black theology have a role to play in the democratic South Africa? by R. T. H. Dolamo

“…The struggle against apartheid was aimed mainly at attaining national political liberation so much so that other forms of freedom, albeit implied and included indirectly in the liberation agenda, were not regarded as immediate priorities. Yet two decades into our democracy, poverty, racism, gender injustice, patriarchy, xenophobia, bad governance, environmental degradation, and so on need to be prophetically addressed with equal seriousness and simultaneously, for none of these issues can be left for some time in the future. …”
