Wednesday, January 28 The top U.S. immigration enforcement agency deported 442,637 people between October 2024 and September 2025, according to newly-released statistics.
\n\n\n\nWhy it matters: The top-line figure is about 171,000 people more than the fiscal year before, but far short of Trump's campaign promise to deport one million people a year. MORE

\n\n\n\nAfter international student enrollment crashed in fall 2025, a report from Shorelight, an international education firm, illuminates one factor that led to that decline: a bump in F-1 visa rejections, especially for students from a handful of countries that typically supply large numbers of international enrollees.

\n\n\n\nSince the election of a Black mayor in Saint-Denis—a suburb of Paris known for landmarks like the Stade de France and the Basilique Saint-Denis, where many French sovereigns are buried—openly racist attacks appear to have increased across France.
\n\n\n\nBut is this really new?
\n\n\n\nWhat feels different today is not the existence of racism—it has always been there—but how open, normalized, and unapologetic it has become. This time, the shift seems amplified by the media. A recent survey by Ifop highlighted the troubling state of racism in the country, and many point to media ecosystems like CNews as amplifiers of this new tone. MORE

\n\n\n\nThis year’s theme responds to a pivotal moment. Global conflict, shifting alliances, and rapid technological change have sidelined African priorities, yet the continent continues to push forward. From cultural exports shaping global narratives to regional cooperation and economic resilience, Africa is asserting its agency in new ways.
\n\n\n\nWe will explore how leaders, businesses, and creatives can shape tomorrow on their own terms, challenging outdated assumptions and spotlighting sectors where Africa is already leading, from fashion and film to digital innovation and fintech.
\n\n\n\nJoin us as we highlight Africa’s growing global influence across culture, technology, and commerce.\"

Et fait surprenant : même des habitants de la ville viennent y manger, comme dans un véritable buffet ouvert à tous.
\n\n\n\nMais il n’est pas seul sur le podium.
\n\n\n\nL’Université du Maryland (essayez Yahentamitsi) propose également une expérience impressionnante, avec une offre variée et de très bonne qualité.

\n\n\n\nTraduction simple : pas de loterie Green Card cette année.
\n\n\n\nPour des milliers de candidats à travers le monde, c’est une porte qui se referme — au moins provisoirement. Encore une fois, les rêves d’installation, de mobilité et d’avenir sont suspendus à des décisions politiques prises loin du quotidien des familles concernées.
\n\n\n\nSi vous espériez déposer votre candidature, inutile de chercher le formulaire : il n’y a pas de tirage prévu pour le moment.
\n\n\n\nReste à voir si cette pause est vraiment temporaire… ou le début d’un changement plus profond dans la politique migratoire américaine. En attendant, il est plus que jamais important d’explorer d’autres voies (études, travail, mobilité professionnelle) pour celles et ceux qui avaient les États-Unis en ligne de mire.
