Moment

A moment is that the time

another erases

And every day, those moments that pass

Disappears in our memories a bit

evening before the evening

time piled up.

The view is blurred on the horizon diffuse

Closed space by the air thickens

infinity is here.

Mist

overlaps the bottom of the valley closed

the horizon is more

it is in the hand

On the sea water is just round the

center is what we are

And nothing

do nothing transpires.

Belgium and the Netherlands: leave or stay?

The figures Le Soir not published and are eloquent to measure how the Jewish population is tiny in both countries: There

Netherlands 30,000 Jews to 16,653,000 inhabitants 30,300 Jews in Belgium for 10,698,000 inhabitants. More and more Jews are leaving the two countries to settle in Israel, the United States or elsewhere. It is estimated the Jewish population of the European Union 1,118,000 (cons 1,122,400 in 2009, 4400 departures) *. According to André Kaspi : "In 2080, there [...] 600,000 in Europe."

A mixed message sent to the Jews of Belgium: "Maurice Sosnowski, said that" never, in his capacity as Chairman of the Coordinating Committee of Jewish Organizations in Belgium (CCOJB), it will say "go." On the contrary: "Stay. But why, we must regain confidence." "It is for that to establish this trust? Who is responsible for the deterioration?
Source: Le Soir ( "Jews emigrate," advises Bolkestein). Excerpts:

Netherlands The solution of the former European Commissioner Liberal face antisemitism will crescendo

Dutch multicultural society is again in turmoil. In a book devoted to Judaism, the liberal Frits Bolkestein invites "Jewish awareness" to leave the country because of anti-Semitism, he said, would crescendo among the youth of Moroccan origin. the "Jewish awareness" , that is to say "Jews recognizable" , including the Orthodox.

Bolkestein asks these Jews to advise their children to emigrate to the United States or Israel. He said he had little confidence in how anti-Semitism is fought in the Netherlands.

If the analysis of Frits Bolkestein made much noise in the Netherlands, she has found an echo in Belgium. Maurice Sosnowski, believes "never" , in his capacity as Chairman of the Coordinating Committee of Jewish Organizations in Belgium (CCOJB) he will not say "Go!". Instead : "Stay. But for this he must find a climate of trust. "

past decade, the Dutch are faced with the challenge of multicultural model. Avatar last date, rise of the Freedom Party (PVV, populist) is partly explained by Islamophobia operated its leader Geert Wilders . Wilders, who took advantage of the release of Bolkestein "They are not Jews but the Moroccans convicted of anti-Semitism must leave the country."

[...] Last year, 58 Jews living in the Netherlands have emigrated to Israel, doubling its departures recorded in 2008. Same trend as in Belgium where 200 Jews decided to emigrate this year. "

Blues for Elise, of Leonora Miano

This latest novel by Miano is surprising its regular readers. Indeed, it is as if the author had decided or agreed to move slightly from its pedestal to be more in tune with the immediate concerns of ordinary people. His earlier novels were traced along a line philosophical and existential, which is not totally absent in this one, but there appears in the background. Writing even more abundantly bathed in music, seems less ... how can I say? aggressive? I mean is that his lyrics had something striking in form and substance, we felt that the author had something to say and that he who had no valid arguments had no incentive to stop for anything. As women mentioned in the novel, including Akasha who I closest to the author, it might seem far a "warrior", an "amazon" or just a woman who showed she had claws to defend themselves, which could scare away those who would stop this fighting spirit displayed.

In Blues for Elise , Leonora Miano seems more overtly sensitive. She has several paintings of women, the tables prepared so that both enlighten others to their reflections. Women with multiple injuries: family, social, emotional ..., women who do asked the man to life than love, than to be loved as what. First there is the group of girls called the "Bigger than life " and composed of four young women: Akasha Amahoro Malaika and Shale. Each with his style, his physique, his personality. There are also some of their relatives: Estelle, the sister of Shale. Elise and their mother. Fanny, their aunt, sister Elise. Amidst these paintings of women, that of a young man, Baptiste, alias Bogus, the son of Fanny. All with their lives to wear, to invent or reinvent.

Leonora Miano announced at the outset: it shows in his Blues for Elise of "Afropéen (ne) s" not in search of family allowances, as is usually the reproach made to immigrants in France, especially blacks. Their whole being that does not tend toward a goal: love.

A small sample not randomly selected, you will understand why:

"Her voice enveloped him. The man was a master of words. Ah, the magic of his word ... He spoke of past lives in which their souls had walked. They were with each other, one to another since life appeared. He said the constellations they lived in spirit and whose dusky skin jealously imprisoned splendor, told of the lost paradise, the blades to win soon, by dint of love " . ( Blues for Elise, page 31)

So why this clip? Not just because it is right in the very subject of the book, love, but because we can hear the echo of the previous titles of the author: "Constellations", "shine", "blades", as if to stand out with them.

Leonora Miano, Blues for Elise , Editions Plon, October 2010, 206 pages. 18 euros. An invitation to love.

Can You Have A Cold And Mono

Bougouniéré invited to dinner, company BlonBa

I had the chance to meet some members of the theater company BlonBa, Mali, visiting Paris for a few performances, on October 28 at Passy, where they were Albarino invited to speak their piece, Truth Soldier . I was much inspired by purchasing the DVD Bougouniéré invited to dinner (the second, South-North, the neighborhood Koteba , had been kindly offered). I could imagine it would be applauded at home.

Indeed, whether I am called to my household chores, or I do not have enough quiet to avoid losing sight of the past few weeks I've just started playing the video without able to finish it. My son, by cons, having been captured in the early scenes, went up to the end. This has become his favorite DVD. He has watched many times already. He laughs so much that he managed to get the family together around Bougouniéré and his family. At 9, he probably did not understand the social and political impact of the piece, but plot, he understood. The names of birds Bougouniéré quenches her husband have enough to trigger laughter, certainly, but not only. The actors play their roles admirably, and the first Bougouniéré. Who is Bougouniéré and why she invites to dinner?

We are in Mali, one of those families who struggle daily against formidable enemies, including poverty, unemployment. We must try to cope. Bougouniéré therefore the idea of starting an NGO, with objectives that can attract the benevolence of European investors: "literacy for rural girls," fight against "FGM", female genital mutilation and so on. She managed to attract his traps Mr "Big Fish", a representative of the World Bank that it hopes to obtain grants. For this, she prepared a dinner, in order to discover the white boss "Mali deep. But as they are penniless (Djeliba, her husband, a man yet full of skills, is unemployed), how to provide a meal worthy of the name? The whole family is contributing to supply what to do honor to the Big Fish. All his family (actually the only members of the NGO until it develops), her husband, their son, whether the two who live with them or who is in France (got there lower the price of enormous sacrifices.

few actors of the company BlonBa, including Michel Sangare (middle) plays the role of Djeliba, Bougouniéré husband.

The irony is permanent and spares no one: whether African states, where people are struggling under the weight of despair, NGOs outside the dashing but does have the sole reason for the desire to "catch subsidies that go ", international agencies, not least in the business rather than in real partnership ... Brief each takes on his behalf because everyone thinks only of his interests. The issue of immigration is also addressed in its brutal reality. But those who suffer the most are always the weakest.

Invite you to the theater without leaving your sofa with Bougouniéré invited to dinner , company BlonBa. Creating Alioune Ifra Ndiaye and Jean-Louis Sagot-Duvauroux. A piece that is enjoyable to watch as a family. Available on the Internet.

Founded in 2005 and filmed in June 2007 at Théâtre Paul Eluard Choisy-Le-Roi. Duration: 1h05.
