Life and career
Bourgi was also a columnist for Jeune Afrique and Radio France Internationale, where he discussed the left-wing intellectual tradition and was attentive to social issues, constitutional democracy, and power relations in post-colonial Africa.[2] While he was close to Guinean president Alpha Condé, he publicly opposed his third term, citing a potential weakening of the rule of law.[3]
