Yesterday evening was great as a French-Senegalese writer, Fatou Diome presented her book "Le ventre de l'Atlantique" ("Atlantic Ocean's belly" to translate word for word), stories about African people deeds, hopes, woes, problems when they come in France or Europe, stories about false dreams about the life in Europe and the fake rich sending money to motherland, I mean the family who stays in Africa and thinks it all goes well for the people who lives in Europe (and in fact it's not, racism, unemployment and all these things...). And she's a militant, she managed to talk about "sex safaris" and pedophilia in Africa, islam fanatism/ dogmatism, scorn for women in Africa and a lot of other problems, she be praised for that!
