In addition to Burkina Faso (print), reporting covering Russia’s invasion of Ukraine took first prizes at this 29th edition, although Afghanistan also took center stage.

In the print media, the first prize of the international committee went to Mariam Ouedraogo, for the report “The Dablo-Kaia axis: the women’s road to hell” on Burkina Faso (Sidwaya publications) and the West France-Jean Marin Award to Nicolas Notes on the report “Ukraine, the convoy of the last chance”, published in Paris Match.
On television, Theo Maneval and Pierre Deurne were awarded the first Amnesty International award for the Ukraine report “Victor and the Kiss of War” shown by France 5. Philip Cox of the Guardian was also awarded for the report “The Spiderman of Sudan”.
