I am the only one who is supposed to understand English in my village. People know me as someone who masters English very well.  Yes , I understand English when it is written or spoken very slowly. 

   Today a villager came to see me. He need my help: One of his relatives living in Europe , and speaking only English will make a phone call on Saturday 4th. And I have to translate the message into French so that he understands. But I am not sure that I will be able to do this translation. I have problems with English spoken fast. It will be a big shame if  I am not able to do this translation. I am afraid. My country is Burkina Faso. A French speaking country. In the country of the blinds the one eye man is a king. It is my case. I understand english just a little bit. People rely on me but I don't rely on myself. How to do? I demand your advice for this challenge. Please help me to get ready before that day. It's not a joke, I am serious.

Two years ago an insurrection took place in my country . The former president Blaise Compaore wanted to modify the constitution so that to stay in power until his death. That is to ignore our courage. As a single man , we stood up and obliged him to resign and leave the country . Lot of people died during this uprising. We are still waiting justice for our martyrs so that they rest in peace. We really discovered the dark side of compaore system after his departure. 

     We are expecting more democracy with our new leaders.

     Do you know my country ?  Do you know something about our insurrection we are so proud?
