It is not easy to resurface from ashes. None of us is a phoenix, we are not born with that instant healing. Our wounds take time to heal. However, what make us humans is the power to wake up after fall to lend a hand to people next to us, being capable to discuss a topic without getting ing a  argument, make mistakes, say sorry,  turn our differences for a greater good.
Niamey, colonized in the XIX nineties and victim of multiple blows in the XXI, bear witness to it.
