Mi buen amigo, recibo su nota en solicitud de artículos para un panel para las reuniones de la Asociación de Literatura Africana y la Asociación de Estudios Africanos de Nueva York el 2017, así como un número especial de CELAAN. Revue du Centre d'Etudes des Littératures et des Arts d' Afrique du Nord.
De su lectura deduzco que sólo son admitidos texto en inglés o francés y que, además, los proponentes deben pertenecer a una  Asociación de Literatura Africana de la que no tengo noticia, por lo que me temo que que  no podré colaboraren esta ocasión con ustedes como hubiera sido mi deseo.
De todas formas, si hubiera posibilidad de remitirles algo en español, lo haría con mucho gusto, dando noticia de mis últimas investigaciones.
Un cordial saludo de su buen amigo,

Queridos colegas,

Yo creo que una asociación como nuestro Saharan Studies Association debería considerar el español como uno de nuestros idiomas corrientes, porque hay bastante interés y bastante investigaciones sobre la Sahara en España.   Qué penséis?  
Es verdad que Pablo-Ignacio no puede venir a la reunión esta vez, pero de todos modos podemos pensar en el futuro, no?

Cordialmente,
Fiona

Dear colleagues, 

I think that an association like our Saharan Studies Association should consider Spanish as one of our working languages, given the substantial interest and research on the Sahara in Spain.  What do you think?  Even if Pablo-Ignacio can't come to this meeting, we can think about the future.

Cordially,

Fiona

Muchas gracias, Fiona, por tu propuesta. Realmente sería lógico que el español fuera una lengua vehicular en los estudios sobre el Sáhara occidental, habida cuenta que no sólo fue el idioma colonial, sino que lo es también, con el árabe, idioma oficial de la República Árabe Saharaui.
Me teneís a vuestra disposición.
Un cordial saludo,
