by Anonyme - 12/07/2012 - 00:05

no comment ,that france 24 live will refuse, to deal any news about western sahara, so we feel sort too much, because every thing changed in the french generation except that nigatif's media opposition, are there no independent french's journalists born since 1975 to 1990?.
