1. This is the illustrated cover of The Continent magazine, Issue 210, dated 23 August 2025. The headline reads: “The Goma blues.” The artwork is vivid and layered, telling a story through images that blend into one another: At the top, there is a large silhouette of a person’s head in profile. Inside the silhouette is a dark scene of someone sitting, knees pulled to chest, depicting despair. Birds fly in the background. Below this, a line of people carrying heavy boxes marches forward, evoking displacement or migration. Flowing from this scene, a young man is shown pushing a giant box. Beneath him, people pull belongings along the ground while others appear to be running from danger in a tense urban setting. Further down, another man is shown mid-leap, as if fleeing, looking fearful. At the bottom of the cover, a schoolboy with a satchel stands facing an imposing figure lying down with eyes closed, possibly symbolizing loss or mourning. Behind them, a city street stretches into the distance under a blue sky with scattered clouds. The background is a warm earthy brown, with an orange circular glow framing the head silhouette at the top. The illustration is by Edizon Musavuli.
