Ouh la vilaine frontière bien rectiligne en bas à droite...
Ça me fait penser à la chanson d’IAM « J’aurais pu croire », toujours terriblement d’actualité après 24 ans...

Et lors de l’indépendance ne les avaient découpés comme des tartes
Aujourd’hui il y a des guerres à cause des problèmes de cartes

The city of Fallujah had already fallen to ISIL fighters when, in June, its men stormed the University of Anbar in Ramadi. Still, little attention.
