On West Africa: Arrivals in Europe from Mali, Senegal, Guinea and The Gambia fell 59% in early 2026, but the journey is no safer

On the Atlantic route, deaths and disappearances barely changed (1,172 vs 1,215) as tighter controls push departures south

TW2026 "Monsters World Tour" - 14 Anansi

#Toberween #MooreArt #SFW #Anansi #Spider #Ghana #Akan #Africa #Trickster #WestAfrica

Anansi, the trickster spider - a figure from West African myth and legend.

Anansi appears in a wide variety of tales, taking on both the roles of protagonist or antagonist. He has been depicted as spider, human, and a variety of in-between forms.

---

I didn't want to just depict Anansi as either a vaguely spider-y man, or just a big honking spider... So I tried to give this abdomen a design and shapes that made it look like a traditional mask, sorta like actual camoflage insects and arachnids use in nature... (Imagine seeing that looking in through your window as you hear a voice - you could be forgiven for thinking it is just someone talking to you and not a mystical spider.)

I also wanted to make him still unsettling, as he is just as often the bad-guy as he is the clever hero; and giving him a row of pearly human-like teeth in his spider maw did that trick I think.

Can military capacity alone stabilize West Africa?

Anouar Boukhars from @africacenter.bsky.social argues that hard power must be paired with robust governance to achieve durable security.
