Graphic journalism. Non fiction story about the 2011 post-election crisis in Côte d 'Ivoire. It tells the point of view of a young supporter of the current president. This testimony was published on the website Ivoire Justice and in in a newspaper hold by the opposition. The idea was to foster dialogue between the opposition and government by showing how both sides suffered from the crisis.
Cartoon on the resolution of the mutinies of 2017 in Ivory Coast. It shows how (and maybe why) President Ouattara gave in to the mutineers

Comics Journalism: The post-electoral crisis that led the Ivorian president to power.
Le Monde Afrique and RNW Media sent me to Côte d'Ivoire to produce a cartoon report on the post-electoral crisis of 2010/2011 in Côte d'Ivoire. It was in 2015, a month before the first presidential election since the crisis. Citizens tell me how they experienced these events. I made two comics out of it, one for each medias. They show the impact of the big news on the lives of little people
Cartoon on Panama papers. Published by Le Monde Afrique and the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists
Planet Okapi magazine (edited by Bayard Afrique) asked me to create 14 illustrations depicting the life of Nelson Mandela. Because the Magazine targets young readers aged 8 to 13, we have chosen to combine realistic illustrations and caricatures. We dressed Mandela as a boxer (he was in his youth) to illustrate his fight against apartheid
