-They have gone but won’t be forgotten! »Lucky dube », a peculiar artist namely pan african reggae star from South Africa passed away on the « 18th of « October 2007 », victim of a hijacker in a suburb of « Johannesburg », capital city of South Africa!Let’s remember him through one of his committed and conscious lyrics titled(« Prisoner ») in his own creation:

-( » Somebody told me about it when i was stil a little boy, he said to me, crime does not pay, he said to me education is the key(yeah).As a little boy, i thought i knew what i was doing, but today here i am in jail, i’m a prisoner! I look around me to see nothing but four grey walls staring at me, the policeman said to me, son they won’t build no schools anymore, all they will build prisons, prison…

-But today in (2020) in « Ivory coast » in « west africa » there are more prisoners, in the biggest penitentiary in « Abidjan », the capital city labeeled (MACA), furthermore among them are parliament members, freedom fighters, innocent people and many more!In consequence, « Ivory coast » under the rule of « Allassane Ouattara » looks like a no man’s land !
