Remadji Hoinathy (@issafrica), "Les chantiers de la laïcité au #Tchad": Même si la laïcité demeure une pierre angulaire du vivre-ensemble, les dynamiques actuelles lui prévoient un avenir des plus mouvementé. La question linguistique (arabophones/francophones) est très importante

Frédérick Madore @fmadore.bsky.social · 08/07/2019

Koudbi Kaboré (Uni. Joseph Ki-Zerbo): Au #BurkinaFaso, la laïcité est étroitement liée à la gestion du pluralisme religieux par l'État. Bien qu’elles soient importantes, les pratiques traditionnelles et coutumières dans l’espace public sont souvent oubliées dans les analyses.
