EDITORS COMMENTS
The front cover of Jeune Afrique from 1990 captures a powerful moment in history, showcasing the face-off between US President George Bush and Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. This iconic image represents the tense confrontation that arose after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August of that year. In this striking photograph, both leaders are depicted with stern expressions, their faces locked in a metaphorical stand-off. The intensity between them is palpable, symbolizing the conflict and division that engulfed not only these two individuals but also their respective nations. Jeune Afrique, a renowned newsweekly published in Paris since its founding by Bechir Ben Yahmed in Tunis on October 17th, 1960, chose this image to illustrate the gravity of the situation unfolding during the Gulf War. It serves as a reminder of how media plays an essential role in shaping public perception and understanding global events. This print collector's item transports us back to the tumultuous era of the 1990s when tensions ran high between America and Iraq. As we reflect on this historical moment captured within these pages, it prompts us to contemplate the complexities surrounding power dynamics and international relations.
