Interview with Ludovic Landry Sossoumihen, author of the novel “nous étions frères”
In his latest book, writer and physician Ludovic Landry Sossoumihen tackles a taboo subject: the abuse of foster children, known as vidomègon.
Through a work of fiction inspired by his own life, he questions a practice still widespread in many families and urban markets, and calls for a rethinking of traditions that compromise the future of African youth.
