We usually don’t talk about politics on the Sama Gazette. Not that we are not interested in politics but we think ‘politics‘ has a wider meaning than just the elections and power. A few days ago,  French politician Marine Le Pen and the National Front, the French far-right, nationalist political party, performed more than well in local elections… Here is an extract of the article posted on The Guardian by Angelique ...

Today is World Water Day. In our post last year, we mentioned the fact that nearly one billion people around the world didn’t have clean drinking water, and 2.6 billion still lack basic sanitation; today, Sub-Saharan Africa is home to 40% of those without safe water and nearly 40% of the world’s population lives without access to adequate sanitation… But we know many key water and sanitation solutions are cost-effective: every $1 invested ...

A few days ago, reading the online edition of the New York Times, we learned about a death nobody mentioned in France: D.L. Cox, a Leader of Radicals During 1960s, Dies at 74. Until then, we had no idea who was D.L. Cox and we didn’t even know he was living in France… Here is an extract of the article posted on the New York Times: Donald L. Cox, who was at the center of black radical politics as a member of the Black Panther Party high ...

Yesterday we celebrated Mardi Gras in France, as well as in several other countries. But there is a difference between the way we celebrate this day; in France the day is dedicated to children who enjoy wearing outfits of their favorite heroes or cartoon characters meanwhile in the United States, Mardi Gras is more like a Mardi Gras Carnival both kids and adults enjoy.

She was 79. Girardot was a fantastic actress whose work ranged from popular comedy to melodrama. We recall some of her roles in Claude Lelouch‘s A Man Who Pleases Me, in which she played opposite Jean-Paul Belmondo. Or Luchino Visconti‘s ...

Anne Hathaway and James Franco were the hosts of this year’s Oscars but unfortunately, their performance was met with mixed critical reception. But honestly, we enjoyed it anyway. This is for what we saw but we also missed a lot of things. Like British street artist Banksy who didn’t show and someone was very disappointed about that: da-eYe. He went to Los Angeles to meet with one of his favorite artist but he wasn’t there… You can ...
