Oh boy...in this episode, Ed the Sock and Liana Kerzner tackle the political motives of false claims of genocide, why the world ignores atrocities in African nations, lies conservatives tell about trans kids and the Fantastic Four trailer....why does The Thing's voice sound like that??

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports on the official exit of three west African nations from the ECOWAS group.

This week we talk about the surprise decision to delay the 2024 African Nations Championship to August, just 18 days before it was due to kick off in East Africa.Also we dig into one of the longest-running debates in African football – whether national teams are better off with local coaches or foreign coaches.While local coaches like Walid Regragui with Morocco and the late Stephen Keshi with Nigeria and Togo did great things, we still have European coaches coming in to the continent and usually receiving better treatment than local coaches.We speak to Emerse Fae, who won the AFCON last year with Cote d'Ivoire.And we have Stuart on the EPL, as Arsenal narrow the gap on Liverpool.

As China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi visits four African nations this week, African analyst Paul Nantulya of the Africa Center for Strategic Studies explains to VOA's Carol Van Dam why the Chinese diplomat chose to visit Chad, the DR Congo, Namibia and Nigeria in early 2025.

Africa correspondent Elna Schutz spoke to Lisa Owen about a devastating cyclone impacting some African nations, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo peace talks interrupted and the descendants of slaves who were taken from Africa having a unique opportunity to reconnect with the continent.

We've all had a whinge about the international break, and with no small amount of justification given the strain on footballers these days, but Scotland and Poland served up an outstanding game of football in Warsaw and Scotland, after all their bad luck and all their poor form, secured a fantastic victory. Best game I've seen in ages. Elsewhere, Spain won their group, Denmark qualified in second, San Marino won again and Sudan have qualified for the African Nations, which is arguably the most impressive performance of the lot.  Plus, we've got more details on the Lyon story and a look ahead to Mauricio Pochettino's first competitive home game in charge of the USMNT.    Did you know that The Athletic was giving Bluesky a go? Some of our best writers have moved there and I've cracked and followed them over.

BBC's Africa Daily's Alan Kasujja spoke with Kulthoum Omari, Africa's lead negotiator in global climate talks. Kulthoum is on the front line, making sure Africa's voice is heard and fighting for the support it deserves.

This week on CURE America with Star Parker, we bring you a show we aired during the beginnings of the Biden Administration. Even though Biden aggressively pushed for abortions across Africa, many African nations stood strong against this pressure and enacted laws to prevent the spread of abortion in their countries. CURE did its part in helping these courageous leaders and communities protect life and reject the imposition of foreign values. These nations took decisive actions to reinforce their restrictive abortion laws, resisting external pressures, including those from the Biden Administration. In 2021 and 2022, countries like Malawi (2021), Ghana (2021), Zambia (2021), Kenya (2021), Tanzania (2021), Nigeria (2021), Uganda (2021), Ethiopia (2021), and South Sudan (2022) stood firm in their commitment to protecting life.   In this episode, I have incredible video to show you of some very courageous women and men in Africa who are appealing to the Biden Administration to turn off the abortion promotion spigot.   The truth behind the abortion expansion plan, driven by organizations like the Gates Foundation and the Biden Administration, is deeply troubling. Their target? Our world's poor and uneducated, imposing their so-called 'enlightened' and elite views on whether these communities should be having children.   What's their reasoning? They claim it's good for the environment and will help alleviate climate change. Worse, they argue it's good for the poor, suggesting that their children are better off dead than being born into poverty.   Join us for this important discussion on the promotion of abortion in Africa with my panel and two professional friends, as we seek answers to these extremely alarming questions.   Guests include Ryan Bomberger, founder of The Radiance Foundation, Rebecca Oas, Ph.D., Director of Research for the Center for Family and Human Rights, and Mary Szoch, Director of the Center for Human Dignity at Family Research Council.

Hampton is working to strengthen ties with Malanje, Angola -- where the first African people forced to journey to Virginia were taken from against their will before landing at what is now Fort Monroe.

The United States will pull the majority of its troops from Chad and Niger after those countries ended previous agreements for US troops to operate there. AP's Lisa Dwyer reports.

Why does Namibia have a bizarre panhandle? Why do some Ghanaians talk of being from "Western Togoland"? Much of this has to do with African borders drawn up in Europe during late 19th century. Borders that to this day are still very much contested, and have had deadly consequences. We explore how treaties designed to prevent war in Europe have caused conflict in Africa.

In ep91, Ahki & Sunny discuss the recent Katt Williams' interview on Club Shay Shay, the recent news of 251 bodies found behind a Mississippi jail, and also detail Gambia & South African charging Myanmar & Israel with genocide.

Bismark Owusu Nortey parked his truck along a road at an industrial hub in the Greater Accra region of southern Ghana, where thick plumes of black smoke poured into the sky. Owusu Nortey, who works with Ghana's Peasant Farmers Association, is there to transport inorganic fertilizer to Accra, for onward distribution to some of the country's over 3 million farmers. He said about 80% of fertilizers used by farmers are “inorganic,” which is mostly made from natural gas. Farmers like to use them because they are less expensive and support rapid crop growth.At the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, leaders from the US and EU have backed a phasedown of fossil fuels, with some qualifications. But many African countries say they deserve to exploit their natural resources and develop just like richer countries. The industrial hub of Tema, Ghana, is home to steel processing, oil refinery, processing, aluminum industries, and more. Credit: Ridwan Kareem Dini-Osman/The World Owusu Nortey said he's concerned that phasing out fossil fuels now could worsen hunger in a country where 2.5 million people are severely food insecure. Putting an abrupt stop to this type of fertilizer without viable alternatives could lead to lower yields — causing food shortages and higher prices and impacting overall availability.“If there is a plan to phase out the use of natural gas for fertilizer, then we might be creating some problems for farming, especially in a place like Ghana where our farmers rely a lot on fertilizers,” he said. But extracting, processing and transporting these fuels contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, which trap the sun's heat and exacerbate global warming. Runoff from fields treated with inorganic fertilizers can also lead to water pollution.  At the COP28 climate summit in Dubai this week, negotiators are debating whether to sign on to an agreement to phase out or down fossil fuels. A drastic reduction in carbon emissions is the only way to keep global warming from reaching catastrophic levels. The International Energy Agency has found that any new fossil fuel development is incompatible with limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, the target temperature of the Paris Agreement.Yet, Ghana relies on fossil fuels for more than half of its total energy supply. And it's been producing oil and gas since major petroleum reserves were discovered in 2007. US Vice President Kamala Harris visited Ghana in March to pitch a green energy transition.Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo made clear in a joint press conference that he had a different idea — to tap the country's abundant natural resources, “with a vision of taking Ghana out of dependence on aid to a self-reliant economy beyond aid,” he said.Ghanians debate energy optionsAt a bustling fuel station in the capital Accra, resident Baba Ahmed pulled up in a black Toyota Corolla to get some gas.Ahmed said he understands the environmental impact of fossil fuels, but the country is not ready.  "A phaseout is really going to affect a lot of people, and so it is not a conversation we should be having now,” he said, adding that better infrastructure would have to be put in place.“And the costs would also have to come down in terms of buying those electric cars. It is going to be a difficult thing to really achieve,” he said. Rose Eshun, a  food-seller who sings to attract buyers for her boiled corn and roasted plantain has been using firewood and charcoal laced with kerosene for years to boil her corn.  Credit: Ridwan Karim Dini-Osman/The World In the sprawling neighborhood of Ashaiman, food seller Rose Eshun has been using firewood and charcoal laced with kerosene for years to boil her corn."Ever since I was a child ‘til now, we've been using firewood and charcoal for cooking. They're easy to find, they don't cost much, and they're very effective for cooking long hours,” she said. Eshun said despite the cost to her health, switching to so-called modern fuels would collapse her business.“The prices of clean gas and those kinds of things are way beyond my strength. Even my daily proceeds from this business cannot afford that.  No way, no way,” she said.Eshun said any move by the government to ban charcoal or firewood should take into account the economic realities of small businesses like hers.“We will meet any such attempts with fierce resistance. If the government wants us to stop using these traditional fuels, then the president should provide us with the money for clean fuel. It is as simple as that,” she said. Charcoal is readily available throughout Ghana, especially in regions where access to modern energy sources is both expensive and limited. However, the widespread use of charcoal contributes to deforestation, posing significant harm to the environment. Credit: Ridwan Karim Dini-Osman/The World That's essentially the message that the African negotiating bloc is presenting at the COP28 meeting this week: If you want a switch to greener energy sources, pay up. Africa is home to 18% of the global population but consumes about 6%  of the world's energy and emits an even lower percentage of carbon emissions. Poorer and developing countries argue that they did very little to cause the climate problem yet they're now being asked to move away from coal, oil and gas. “Africa cannot be held to be responsible for this problem and if you want to get Africa to do its bit, then it's a question of financing,” said Theo Acheampong, a Ghanaian energy economist at Aberdeen University. He said developed countries are more focused on global renewable energy targets while they're still subsidizing oil and gas production domestically, in the amount of $7 trillion. But African countries don't get access to the financing and technologies required to address the issue of energy poverty, he added. Over 600 million people in Africa lack sufficient energy. And in the next 30 years, the population of 1.4 billion on the continent will double, driving up energy demand even more. Acheampong believes that the goal of COP28 must also address energy security, access and affordability challenges in Africa. “And I strongly believe that oil and gas, as well as nuclear, as well as renewable and all these other energy forms should be a core part of the energy mix of African countries,” he said.But Chibeze Ezekiel, who leads the Strategic Youth Network for Development in Ghana, said he favors a full fossil-fuel phaseout. “We can't guarantee that we will have oil and gas forever. We can't guarantee that there will be coal forever. At some point, we may run out, and then what happens?” It's better to invest in renewable energy, he added.

Hamas gunmen launched an unprecedented attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip on 7 October, which resulted in killing more than 1,400 people and taking almost 230 hostages. Since the attack Israel has been carrying out strikes in Gaza. The Hamas-run Palestinian health ministry says more than 8,000 people have been killed. Following the surprise attack, many of Israel's allies and others quickly condemned the assault and said they were standing with Israel. Israel then launched airstrikes into Gaza. Leaders from US, UK, EU and some African countries including Kenya, said Israel had a right to defend itself. However there's also been condemnation of Israel and its airstrikes by South Africa. BBC Monitoring's Beverly Ochieng tells us why certain countries took the positions they did during the UN resolution that called for an immediate humanitarian truce in Gaza and how it sheds light on the diverse perspectives held by African Nations.

At the end of July, the Presidential Guard of Niger, backed by the military, unseated the current president, Mohamed Bazoum, in a coup supported by the people. In response, the United States and France, with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), began planning a military intervention to return Bazoum to power. West African nations, including Mali, Burkina Faso and Guinea, quickly declared solidarity with the new government, a move that could turn a military intervention into a greater regional conflict. To understand what is happening in Niger and how it fits into the bigger picture of the rejection of neo-colonialism and US hegemony, Clearing the FOG speaks with Abayomi Azikiwe, the editor of the Pan-African News Wire.

Vice President Kamala Harris wrapped a historic tour of Africa last week, where she positioned the U.S. as a reliable and trustworthy security and economic partner. This week on Intercepted, host Murtaza Hussain is joined by investigative reporter, Nick Turse, to discuss his latest reporting on U.S. counterterrorism efforts in Africa. Since the war on terror was launched, the U.S. government's ventures in Africa have been more focused on military aid than economic support. Harris's trip comes after a decade of China investing in infrastructure and critical resource mining throughout the continent and the administration's concerns over the growing influence of the Russian mercenary Wagner Group. But America's 20-plus years of counterterrorism support in the region hasn't resulted in better security. In that time, terrorist groups have risen and U.S.-trained African officers have attempted at least nine coups, eight of which were successful. Hussain and Turse discuss the impact of U.S. military involvement and the influence of other foreign powers.If you'd like to support our work, go to theintercept.com/join — your donation, no matter what the amount, makes a real difference.And if you haven't already, please subscribe to the show so you can hear it every week.
