Over the next few weeks, 11 articles by SSAS honorary member Mohomodou Houssouba will be published on the imago mundi website. The articles are letters that Mohomodou wrote to a friend during his four-week stay in Bamako last summer to describe his impressions of the city. Various topics are addressed in the letters - the first two which are already online deal with African geopolitics and multilingualism in Mali, among other things.
