A small craftsman disappears, his brother, a grocer, searches for him and… to his great surprise, stumbles upon a misappropriation of Humanitarian Aid! Someone is lining his pockets, but who?

Why is there no serious rebellion against this state of affairs? And, more generally, why are so many Africans so disinterested in politics when politics is interested in them?
