“We have what we call a ‘chain of solidarity’: The nation joined hands together,” Moussa Seydi, chief of infectious disease service at Dakar’s University of Fann Hospital Center, said. “Religious leaders came to join the political decision-makers, and also, the community involved themselves in giving this response to Covid-19.”
“People were saying: ‘You all will die with this Covid. Africa will disappear with this Covid,’” Seydi said. “Africans got so scared that they didn’t have any other choice but to prepare themselves. More than usual! And this preparation contributed to the fight against this disease.”
Worked up this illustration of a couple I saw on the train a few weeks back… I embellished a little on the design; the guy didn’t have this body frame, & neither wore gold, but both carried a powerful sense of African pride about them, which I loved… People couldn’t take their eyes off them… I loved that too.

The Punishment
“Which room would you like to book ma’am?” The receptionist asked me.
“Um, room 304 please.” I said.
“Just a moment please.” Said the receptionist in rather fake but polite tone, “Here is your key, ma’am…enjoy your stay.”
“Thank you” I said and walked towards the elevators.
The elevator was about to close, when suddenly I saw someone holding the doors, so I could get in…how nice of him, I thought as I got in the elevator.
As I turned around to thank this nice gentleman, he was already staring at me.
Feeling kind of intimated, I said a short thank you and turned away. Oh well I thought, creepy people everywhere.
“Which floor?” he said with a husky voice.
Damn, I thought. “Umm 7th.”
“Oh same as mine..” He said silently.
It was an awkward elevator ride, but oh well, as if I am ever going to see him, I said with a small laugh, which was rather a louder one. Shit, why am I so weird I thought..
After the door opened, I rushed out so I didn’t have to deal with the awkwardness anymore.
“Wait” he said
I turned around and he handed me the key, which I didn’t even realize I had dropped.
