Rush hour traffic across the Atlantic: US politicians of the highest rank are currently invading Africa in droves. Vice President Kamala Harris landed in Ghana on Monday for her first visit to the continent, just as Foreign Minister Antony Blinken was completing his third tour of Africa. Earlier, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen paid a visit to the financially weak continent, followed by Washington’s UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield.
an evening full of soul, groove, magic and grasshoppers: “michael kiwanuka” was in the meta city and gave us a very nice evening!
it was monday, the working week was beginning, but at the same time i knew: the concert days in the meta city were finally starting! full of anticipation, following a day in the air-conditioned office, i made my way to the sizzling meta-city site, which is quite far away. when i arrived was “lou asril“ in the process of enchanting everyone present with his soul. but i had to get my bearings first: i walked around the site, treated myself to a portion of fries and met a few friends along the way, with whom i exchanged a few words. it felt good to finally be there, on this site full of brick buildings, in front of a stage and between some trees!
admittedly, my knowledge ofmichael kiwanuka” was more than expandable, but you don’t always have to know every artist by heart to be able to enjoy their music live. so i tried to get involved, to the groove, to the beats, to the velvety voice. the stage background was a kind of spiral – did “michael kiwanuka” not only want to hypnotize us with his songs but also with the stage design? I will probably never know.
sometimes we got danceable, groovy songs thrown around our ears, sometimes sensitive ballads, which found support in addition to the beautiful, natural twilight and the pretty stage lighting. it was a bit magical when the glittering stage lights spread over the audience and at the same time the cloudy sky shimmered in the sunset.
and just as i was regarding to savor this moment of concert magic to the full, i suddenly noticed that something was crawling around in my hair. as i felt my hand around on my head i suddenly felt a grasshopper ready to jump. He landed on the ground right in front of me and I was so shocked that I immediately ran a few rows further back. this experience had a lasting effect on me, because for the rest of the evening i imagined that i still felt something on my head… but neither tactile nor mirror controls might confirm that.
when at some point the hit “cold little heart” sounded, i was able to put aside my grasshopper experience, at least for this song. i rocked back and forth and might literally melt into this beautiful anthem.
my week mightn’t have started better: i was able to watch the complete set, then scurried to the s-bahn station and was able to catch the train home in the very last second (and therefore didn’t have to wait 30 minutes for the next one). what a nice and cozy evening – in the future I will give groovy, soulful concerts a chance more often, especially if they are able to turn a monday into a nice experience!

It is a report from the French Observatory of Drugs and Addictive Tendencies (OFDT) which says it: the production, circulation, accessibility and consumption of cocaine have never been so high. With deleterious health consequences.
According to this OFDT report, produced jointly with Public Health Franc and the addictovigilance network, “the circulation of cocaine in the world, in Europe and in France has increased since the 2010s, representing 1/3 of the narcotics market in Europe”. All the indicators point in this direction: record production, record quantities seized… and record number of consumers, thanks in particular to the fall in the price of a gram of cocaine: between 50 and 70 euros.
An “affordable” price, for an overall purer cocaine that can be ordered on the Internet and delivered to your home: these other factors also contribute to explaining the increase in the number of consumers: approximately 600,000 users in France, 3.5 million within the European Union and 21.5 worldwide.
Increase in emergency room visits
Thus, among adults, cocaine consumption increased from 0.3% in 2000 to 1.7% in 2017. “This consumption therefore remains marginal in France in the general population”writes the OFDT, especially when compared to the use of cannabis (10% of the adult population if we use the criterion of consumption at least once a year).
“Nevertheless, the use of cocaine has expanded among adults: rather limited to the festive space and to the most affluent social categories twenty years ago, it has spread to other social environments” with lower incomes. And the modes of consumption have diversified: cocaine is no longer just snorted, it is also smoked, inhaled and injected.
With various health consequences, “ranging from complications (psychiatric, cardiovascular, neurological, infectious, respiratory, etc.) to the risk of overdose (sometimes fatal)”, summarizes the report. Thus, in 2019, cocaine was involved in 12% of emergency room visits related to drug use, compared to 7% in 2015. Mortality attributable to its use has also increased: alone or in combination, it was present in 26% of direct drug-related deaths in 2018. It had never exceeded 20% until then.
To note : In France, cocaine consumption has dropped significantly in recent years among the youngest. If in 2014, 3.2% of minors had already used this drug, they were only 1.4% in 2020.
