Passions
After several years in Africa, I am currently traveling Latin America, residing among indigenous peoples, such as the Bri-bris in Costa Rica, the Kogis in Colombia, the Qeros in Peru, the Uchupiamona in Bolivia, and the
Guaranis in Paraguay. I am passionate about archeology (I (re) discovered ruins in Peru) and ancient arts, but don't mind trying to understand quantum physics or modern art. I like literature as long as it is not pedantic like Flaubert, likes a cinema which makes you dream intelligently. I love the present and the past, because the future concerns us all.

Background Today I am a freelance journalist, seeking to share the truth of the world. I have a master's degree in international relations from the Graduate institute, I am the former director of programmes of UPR Info, an international human rights NGO that I co-founded. I was also national manager at EAGLE (an NGO fighting against trafficking in protected animals), and member of the Committee of the Green party of Geneva, Switzerland. As a volunteer journalist and activist for Amnesty International's Swiss chapter, I wrote and organized many activities to denounce the death penalty and torture all over the world. I carry out the ethical and practical fights, in other words those for which my action can make a difference for the most disadvantaged, be they humans or animals.

Pourquoi la COP26 sera un échec
Legrand rendez-vous annuel de toutes les stars bat son plein à Glasgow. Les déclarations se succèdent, les vidéos choquantes défilent, on applaudit à une vidéo d’un créatif d’UNDP - 1 -le programme onusien responsable en charge du développement économique et de la bonne gouvernance qui met en scène un dinosaure évoquant notre disparition. Les milliardaires et les entreprises pétrolières sont évidemment au rendez-vous, achetant à coup de pétrodollars leur participation […]

Les Missions jésuites du Paraguay – Une utopie ?
(une version plus courte est parue dans l'Echo magazine du 4 novembre 2021) Dans toute utopie, il existe la volonté de croire qu’un monde ici-bas, parfait, est possible. Les Missions jésuites du Paraguay, distribuées autour de la ville d’Encarnación, sont présentées comme un exemple de coexistence idéal entre les autochtones guaranis et les Jésuites. Ils […]

Les Guaranis, ou l’impossible survie dans la forêt paraguayenne
Unpeuple autochtone sans terre, c’est une peuple sans identité. C’est un groupe qui se meurt, et dont la splendeur n’est qu’un lointain écho du passé. Les peuples guaranis, une série de différentes ethnies autrefois répartie entre la Bolivie, le Paraguay, le Brésil et l’Argentine, suivent le chemin de l’extinction commune de tant d’autres peuples. De […]
