  • L'EWATA devrait ramener une certaine sérénité dans le trafic sur l'Afrique de l'Ouest
    Si tout se déroule comme prévu, un nouvel "accord/conférence" régissant, du moins en partie, le trafic sur la route entre l'Europe et la côte occidentale de l'Afrique (COA) devrait voir le jour d'ici quelques semaines. D'ores et déjà, le nom de cette nouvelle organisation est connu: "European West Africa Trade Agreement"(EWATA). Le but est évidemment de tenter de ramener une certaine stabilité dans ce trafic qui en a bien besoin, car le moins qu'on puisse dire, c'est qu'il y règne un sérieux désordre.
