For generations, the populations have been split in two activities, agriculture and fishing. All along these shores, a natural gas site was found. Shell jumped on the opportunity by violently attacking the profound traditions linked to the ancestral lands. One of the inhabitants: “They figured they could break our spirits, I believe that they have not yet realized with whom they are dealing with”… It’s no longer Shell that I like.

Michel Philipot’s press review presents images that summarize the news of the week.
They can be revealing like the image of President Barack Obama and Nicolas Sarkozy face to face during the G8 summit, or more singular like the German minister devouring a cucumber.
The most explosive cover of the week was that of Libération who portrayed a majestic cucumber with the title “presumed innocent”, and, on the same page, the photo of Dominique Strauss-Kahn. Quite daring.
