🌳 The Baobab of Choice — How does it work?
Every week Baobizz plunges you into a dilemma rooted in African realities.
No good answer, no bad one: two paths, two values, an impossible decision.
Read the staging, choose your camp, vote — then come back 48 hours later
discover the complete analysis and what your choice says about you.
You're the finance minister of a Sahelian country under double threat. In the north, armed groups are advancing towards the villages. In the south, health centres close due to lack of medicines and staff — mothers give birth from the ground, children die from treatable malaria. The IMF demands austerity. Western partners make their military assistance conditional on a national budgetary effort. You still have a unique envelope. You cannot divide it: it is already insufficient for one of the two positions. The Council of Ministers awaits your recommendation. Outside, there are two parades at the same time: soldiers without bulletproof vests and nurses without syringes.
What do you choose?
A — You finance the army: without security, no hospital will stand.
B — You finance health: a people dying of disease has nothing to defend.
