			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom:0;" lang="en-GB"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Africa and its colours, Africa and its landscapes, Africa and its music, Africa and its dance.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" lang="en-GB"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Ever since the dawn of times, this continent gave hope and envy to people and explorers from the XXIIIrd and XXth centuries to discover all about it.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" lang="en-GB"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">How to get to know a country better than travelling through its culture, music and dances?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" lang="en-GB"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">&lt; Amawumbo &gt; as they&#8217;re called are dancers from Zimbabwe, a country from central Africa close to Zambia, Mozambique, Botswana and South Africa. For a few weeks now, this country has been in the front line of the international scene with an epidemy of cholera and a worrisome political situation but there it has so many other things to teach us than just that.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" lang="en-GB"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Alexander, leader of this group; who&#8217;s name has an English consonance, he owes it to his country history which was a British colony taking part in the apartheid at the time it was called Rhodesia, and they acquired their political independence in 1980. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" lang="en-GB"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">This summer, while coming back from the Amawumbo&#8217;s dancer group show they had just performed, heart filled with Africa&#8217;s history which took place throughout dances and heads full of drums rhythms, I couldn&#8217;t help myself but to share a few lines with you of that pleasure invading me by looking and listening to them on stage. I couldn&#8217;t imagine that a handful of months later, I&#8217;d have the pleasure of sharing moments of Alexander Mhlanga&#8217;s life of this band (whom is currently in Sweden to give a new dimension to it).</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span lang="en-GB">Alexander, you were born in Bulawayo (Zimbabwe&#8217;s second biggest city) in the spring of 1978 in one of these little townships of the South African border where the apartheid was in full effect. Let&#8217;s hear about your childhood.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-left:.49cm;margin-right:.03cm;margin-bottom:0;"><span style="color:#ffff00;">“<span lang="en-GB"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">I grew up in a little town called njube where I went to Helemu primary school and then on to mpopoma high school. Nothing predisposed me to become a dancer and to be the initiator of such a big and important project as the creation of the professional dancers and musicians company (became today one of the best in the country)…Amawumbo.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:.03cm;margin-bottom:0;" lang="en-GB"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Revelation or child dreams? What brought you to perform on stage?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" lang="en-GB"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">At the time, I was a soccer player like many young African people; my future seemed to be planned. But something was going to change my life, not a meeting but… music. I had an invitation from dancer friends that I gladly accepted. As soon as I heard drum sounds, I was touched both in my heart and soul. The following day, I took the decision to belong to “the young warrior” group (in 1995), which was headed by the late Norman Takawira (1964-2003). I learnt a lot by studying African dances from different regions of the Zimbabwe and by doing local tours. In 1997, l was a founder member of Umkhathi theatre Works which was a household name in this country. I felt we became more powerful. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" lang="en-GB"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">I came back to Njube to teach drama, music and dance in the local high school. My group and I started projects giving chances to children to learn more about art feats. I worked on some choreography for school competition which got first place. After that, I also arranged some weddings and private parties. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:.03cm;margin-bottom:0;" lang="en-GB"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">At the end, I discovered my talents and the power of our culture that made me continue this way. And when I was more in touched with my community, I&#8217;ve found out there were school drop outs, unwilling pregnant women, drugs and illness. Then I had the idea to create a dance company to bring a change for people to give them hope and a chance to rediscover themselves.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" lang="en-GB"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" lang="en-GB"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">So, in 2000, I took them away from crimes and poverty by creating the professional Amawumbo Dance Company. It was a real success; we had more than 50 full time members.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:.03cm;margin-bottom:0;" lang="en-GB"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">When we programmed a tour, we had to cast. When we organised the tour, we had to cast during that period and we collected clothes and other stuff for our home community. It gave hope and life to our brothers. As you may not know, Amawumbo means &#8220;power to make it in life&#8221;. In 2003, we made a website that helped us raise awareness of our group. Thanks to that, we had a lot of invitations to perform in various awesome places like England, Sweden, Germany, France, Belgium, South Africa, Botswana and Zambia.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:.03cm;margin-bottom:0;" lang="en-GB"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">So far, we&#8217;ve worked with people from the USA, Gambia, France, England, Australia, Canada and a lot more!</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" lang="en-GB"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Without any sponsors of funding, we strived to make it all worthwhile. I&#8217;ve tried my best to create employment in this artistic world. Culture is our pride because it&#8217;s our art, I really mean it.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:.03cm;margin-bottom:0;"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span lang="en-GB">For now, my challenge is to find enough money to fund a new project called &#8220;Amandla Esikolakwethu&#8221; (which means the spirit of our alive traditions). There is a compile DVD. We will shot the film in our wonderful places such as Great Zimbabwe, Nyanga, Matapos, and Victoria falls. I think this project will be really interesting.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:.03cm;margin-bottom:0;" lang="en-GB"><span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">I came to Sweden with a goal in mind and that is to find enough money and to attract different sponsors to my project (which takes place during the upcoming summer in the same time as our next tour). I&#8217;m organizing workshops and working with foreign dancers to accomplish that goal and to make an impact for the discriminated of my country and ultimately on the world.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span lang="en-GB"><span style="color:#ffff00;">Our next meeting with the European public will be in a few months on the beautiful scenes of Spain and Portugal&#8230;</span></span>”</span></span></span></p>

<div style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size:medium;">For a long time the continent make people want to discover it; explorers in the  XXIII th century or travelers in the XX th.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size:medium;">How better introduice somebody to a country than travelling through its culture, with its music and its dances.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;Amawumbo&#8221; are dancers from Zimbabwe, a central Africa country, close to Zambia , Mozambique , Botswana and  South Africa. This country for some weeks hold central stage with an epidemic of cholera and a worrisome political situation but it has so many other things to learn us.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Alexander is the leader of this group; his name with English consonance ,bring in it the history of his country which was a British colony practising the apartheid when it was called Rhodésie and which  acquired its political independence in 1980.  </span></div>
<div style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size:medium;">This summer, coming back from a show the group of dancers &#8220;amawumbo&#8221; had just given, the heart still filled with the history of Africa which had taken place through the dances and the head filled with the rhythm of drums I was not able to stop myself to share with you writing some words, this pleasure which had invaded me by paying attention and looking at them on stage. I did not imagine that some monthes later I would have the pleasure to share moments of Alexander Mhlang&#8217;s life,the creator of this group, actually in suede to give a new dimension to his company.</span></div>
<div style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Alexander, you were born to Bulawayo the second city of Zimbabwe in spring, 1978 , in one of these township that the apartheid , which raged then in your country, spread out on the South of the African continent.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>La grille du jardin de l&#8217;hotel vient de s&#8217;ouvrir et un Touareg vient vers nous. Il porte un superbe  boubou de la couleur du cuivre rouge ,ses cheveux comme à leur habitude sont ceints d&#8217;un chèche foncé. Je le regarde s&#8217;approcher .C&#8217;est vrai qu&#8217;ils ont belle prestance , le corps drapé jusqu&#8217;aux pieds ,dans ce tissus soyeux qui se balance au rythme de leurs pas &#8230;je ne vois que ses yeux qui semblent me regarder avec insistance et à ce moment là , je réalise : c&#8217;est  Moussa qui pour un temps , a quitté son habit indigo !</p>
<p>Cette apparition me laisse une étrange impression: Moussa en France ,  seul vêtu de son habit bleu, cela ne m&#8217;etonne plus , mais là , parmi d&#8217;autres vêtements traditionnels cela me permet de réaliser que cette fois ce n&#8217;est plus un rêve, nous sommes au pays des Touareg&#8230;</p>
<p> Il s&#8217;approche de nous pour nous souhaiter la bienvenue et son apparition ne perturbe en aucune façon les habitudes des oiseaux : dans un nimier , un tilabert couve ses oeufs dans un nid posé en equilibre entre deux branches tandis qu&#8217;au dessus de nous un toujoumba  (en songhai) superbe oiseau jaune, avec application transporte inlassablement quelques nouvelles brindilles pour perfectionner son nid , dans lequel par instant il disparait par une petite ouverture placée sur le dessous de cette forme ovoide qui pend de la branche..</p>
<p>Ibrahim , visage jovial et toujours souriant, entre à son tour dans le jardin ombragé de l&#8217;hotel suivi de près par la jeune femme de l&#8217; aéroport.<br />
une voix douce repond à mon bonjour :<br />
&#8230;enchantée ! et moi je m&#8217;appelle Blanche de Richemont &#8220;</p>
<p>j&#8217;ai lu son nom sur la page de garde du livre de Moussa mais le &#8220;de&#8221; m&#8217;avait laissé croire à une frêle et vieille demoiselle. En fait ,elle ressemblait dans mon imagination à la princesse russe très agée , qu&#8217;il m&#8217;avait été permis de connaître il y a quelques 20 ans . Vieille dame charmante , comme sortie d&#8217;un livre , qui disparaissait au fond d&#8217;un immense fauteuil , petite dame poussiéreuse , transparente à force d&#8217;être fragile . Son neveu , jeune homme d&#8217;une autre époque lui aussi , se tenait debout derrière , la main posée négligemment sur le dossier , et sur le mur  la gravure d&#8217;un tsar&#8230; Cette image que j&#8217;avais chassée de mes souvenirs me saute au visage lorsque je decouvre la véritable Blanche de Richemont et qui n&#8217;a rien à voir avec celle que j&#8217; imaginais !</p>
<p>Elle est écrivain , amoureuse et spécialiste des déserts &#8230;. nous apprendrons quelques jours plus tard qu&#8217;elle est là aussi pour apporter les dernières modifications à son prochain livre &#8221; l&#8217; éloge du désir&#8221;</p>
<p>Nous les laissons à leur discussion , Mossa vient d&#8217;arriver et nous propose de découvrir Gao. Notre guide , cet après midi s&#8217;appelle Sidi , c&#8217;est un cousin de Mossa .<br />
 En fait ici tout se passe en famille , l&#8217;agence de voyage est celle de Mossa et les guides et chauffeurs ses cousins &#8230; Sidi ,savez vous ce que cela signifie en langue arabe ? : saint , je l&#8217;ai appris il y a quelques années en  flânant dans les ruelles de Sidi Boussaïd en Tunisie.</p>
<p>Gao ne se raconte pas , il faut s&#8217;y promener pour la saisir.<br />
Une seule route goudronnée traverse la ville , toutes les autres rues , aussi larges pourtant, sont d&#8217;un sable orangé , bordées de maisons de cette même teinte chaude ou parfois se mèle la couleur plus grise de l&#8217;argile . De longs murs de même matériau occultent les jardins , car toute maison possède son jardin pour y élever quelques chèvres , où pour s&#8217;y retrouver, à l&#8217;ombre d&#8217;un arbre parfois, pour boire les trois thés traditionnels.</p>
<p>Le centre ville ne se prétend pas différent , sinon que s&#8217;y regroupent les divers ministères et administrations. Le long des ruelles du marché un bric-à-brac d&#8217;objets se  côtoie : des vis , des chaussures , des tissus , des plaques de sel&#8230; Une petite fille à la peau d&#8217;ébène , avec application tresse les cheveux d&#8217;une autre enfant , un bébé s&#8217;est assoupi dans le dos de sa maman , un couturier devant sa machine &#8220;singer des années 40 &#8221; tire d&#8217;un morceau de tissus multicolore un pantalon non moins riche en couleur. Au coin d&#8217;une rue, quelques chèvres se dressent fièrement sur une montagne d&#8217; immondices ; cela me remet en mémoire quelque phrase de Daudet parlant le la chèvre de mr Seguin : &#8220;et de se voir si haut perchée elle se croit au moins aussi grande que le monde&#8221;</p>

<p>Sidi nous a entraîné à sa suite dans une sorte de halle marchande , ceinte de hauts murs qui assombrissent le lieu. Un veritable labyrinthe se déroule devant nous avec de chaque coté de minuscules réduits dans lesquel s&#8217;entassent parfois dans un équilibre très précaire , des chaussures, des tissus et mille autres choses encore. Il nous faut nous frayer un passage entre les sacs , caisses qui obstruent un passage si étroit que dejà sans ces monticules de paquets deux personnes ont du mal à s&#8217;y croiser, sans patauger dans la boue qui s&#8217;étale par endroits.</p>
<p>Le jeune Touareg , après quelques serrements de mains , quelques mots jetés dans une langue &#8220;rugueuse&#8221; , à l&#8217;un ou à l&#8217;autre , semblant ne pas trouver ce qu&#8217;il souhaite , franchit une étroite porte , Arnaud et moi toujours sur ses talons. La clarté du soleil nous saute au visage, alors que la chaleur aussitôt nous enveloppe&#8230;<br />
Nous traversons encore quelques dédales de rues, pour arriver sur une grand avenue de sable qui borde le fleuve.<br />
Sur les rives du Niger c&#8217;est un autre univers grouillant de monde . Assis sur le parapet nous jouons les indiscrets car quelques femmes qui font leur toilette dans une eau plus que douteuse , d&#8217;un geste impérieux de la main nous font signe de ne pas les photographier . Même sans cela , je n&#8217;aurais pas de toutes manières fait un cliché de ce moment d&#8217;intimité , un peu plus loin un autre groupe de femmes lave leur linge  .  Des enfants jouent au ballon tandis que près d&#8217;eux des petits groupes de chèvres et  des moutons déambulent , sous le regard indifférent d&#8217;un zébu.</p>
<p>&lt;div style=&#8221;text-align: right&#8221;&gt;&lt;a href=&#8221;<a href="http://tannemert.blogs-de-voyage.fr/media/00/02/0e22db22cd5e8ad7ca7afb4d9c5ca1c0.jpg">http://tannemert.blogs-de-voyage.fr/media/00/02/0e22db22cd5e8ad7ca7afb4d9c5ca1c0.jpg</a>&#8221; target=&#8221;_blank&#8221;&gt;&lt;img src=&#8221;<a href="http://tannemert.blogs-de-voyage.fr/media/00/02/0e22db22cd5e8ad7ca7afb4d9c5ca1c0.jpg">http://tannemert.blogs-de-voyage.fr/media/00/02/0e22db22cd5e8ad7ca7afb4d9c5ca1c0.jpg</a>&#8221; id=&#8221;media-57175&#8243; title=&#8221;feluve niger,gao,afrique,enfants ,photos,peuple,société&#8221; alt=&#8221;0e22db22cd5e8ad7ca7afb4d9c5ca1c0.jpg&#8221; style=&#8221;border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;&#8221; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</p>
<p>Au loin des pirogues s&#8217;éloignent &#8230; Animaux , hommes, fourrage et mille autres choses se disputent une place sur les pirogues dont certaines voient le niveau de l&#8217;eau s&#8217;avancer inexorablement vers le plat bord et prennent des allures de radeau plutôt que de barque.<br />
 Sur les quais, c&#8217;est un mélange de couleurs bigarrées : le bleu des Touareg mais aussi les teintes violines , indigo, vertes de leurs boubous , les couleurs acidulées des robes des femmes Bambara ou Songhai. Un petit âne passe près de moi chargé de paille alors que quatre jeunes hommes rentrent des champs , leurs outils de travail d&#8217;un autre temps , sur l&#8217;épaule &#8230;mais déjà mon regard est attiré par autre chose&#8230; et j&#8217;ai beau écarquiller mes yeux je ne parviens pas à tout voir. Un Peul vient d&#8217;être hapé par la foule et je ne vois plus que son chapeau qui émerge d&#8217;une marée humaine. D&#8217;un pas rapide un autre malien apparait tenant courte une corde à laquelle est attaché un gigantesque bélier,le temps d&#8217;ajuster mon appareil et &#8230;trop tard , la foule se referme sur lui.</p>
<p>Pour retourner à l&#8217; hôtel nous longeons les jardins d&#8217;une belle demeure , les bougainvillées ploient sous les fleurs roses et blanches qui se gorgent de soleil , un peu plus loin ont été plantés quelques dizaines d&#8217;arbres , bien alignés . Dans quelques années ils offriront une ombre bienfaitrice au promeneurs , mais aujourd&#8217;hui on se prend à penser qu&#8217;ils sont bien trop chétifs pour survivre. &#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Coincés entre le nom des maures, des sonhgoi et des peulhs , les touareg étaient dans ma mémoire parmi les 14 millions d&#8217;habitants de l&#8217; AOF , aux beaux jours de la colonisation française , quand Joseph Galieni n&#8217;etait pas encore le nom d&#8217;une rue ou un boulevard</p>
<p>Bien sûr j&#8217;entendais parfois le nom de Mali surgir sur un média mais que savais je de la réalité du peuple malien , des ethnies qui s&#8217;y cottoient , des difficultés de ce peuple pourtant le plus pauvre du monde.</p>
<p>Une information en poussant une autre , la guerre du golfe avait occulté pour moi les problemes touareg au mali dans les années 90 et puis l&#8217;homme est égoiste , la naissance de mon fils , la preparation de sa chambre puis plus tard de ses biberons ont occupé plus mon esprit que les misères du monde.</p>
<p>Arte venant heureusement à mon secours, me fit decouvrir les touareg un peu mieux que je ne les connaissais en me faisant apprécier la chaleur de leur accueil dans leurs campements, la beauté de leur musique &#8230;c&#8217;est donc le coeur rempli de rêves que nous nous envolions quelques semaines plus tard mon fils arnaud et moi ; le dernier mail de notre ami en main nous pouvions imaginer tout ce que nous allions faire , simples mots pour l&#8217;instant sur la feuille mais déjà porteurs de magie &#8230;decouvrir le désert pendant une promenade à dos de dromadaire, apprendre avec les bergers à s&#8217;occuper des bêtes, rencontrer des animaux près du campement , se retrouver le soir auprès du feu pour entendre des legendes touareg au son de la musique &#8230;.et puis à Gao faire connaissance avec l&#8217;autre Mali , celui des africains avec son marché , des boubous et des djembé&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A clinical trial on &#8220;a sample group&#8221; of several sick Malian had convincing resultats with regard to try of a new vaccine. One of the persons is cured whereas 40 others show very promising signs of immunity.<br />
To claim victory after an etude on only 60 persons is a little bit &#8220;premature &#8220;  do you think thus,  look at the tries on the cosmetic cream you buy :the  number of persons who tested this &#8220;produit&#8221; is often less than 100<br />
so , why don&#8217;t think it &#8216;s a right way . It is not forbidden to dream either in a case or in the other one&#8230;. at any rate ,  this article which says to be from &#8220;on good authority&#8221; let think that this first try made on sick Malian was a was a success which opens the essays today on less than 6 years old malian<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Clamped between the name of the Moors, <span>sonhgoi</span> and <span>peulhs</span>, Tuareg were in my memory among the 14 million inhabitants of the AOF, in the beautiful days the French colonization, when Joseph Galieni was not still the name of a street or a boulevardNaturally I sometimes heard the name of Mali on a media , but what I knew of the reality of the Malian people, and the ethnic groups who live closed to them , difficulties of these people ,nevertheless the poorest of the world was occured by others news.An information pushing the other one, the Gulf War had hidten for me Tuareg&#8217;s <span>problems</span> in Mali  during the 90&#8242;s and then the man is selfish my private problems occured in my spirit more than the miseries of the world.<span>&#8220;Arte</span> TV&#8221; coming fortunately to my help, i could dicover tuareg life a little : the warmly of their welcome , the beauty of their landscape and music &#8230; and it is with a  heart full with dreams that we  fly away some weeks later ; the last e-mail of our friend in my hand we could imagine all was expecting us, only  words on the sheet for the moment,  but already carrier of magic: discover the desert during a ride on a camel , learn with the shepherds ,  meet animals near the camp, and close to a fire , in the night, drink a tea listening to the old tuaregs legends &#8230;. and then  <span>Gao , with the market , the bubus , and the african rythms of the djembe</span>&#8230;.</h3>
