Podcasts about afrikaner

One of President Trump's first major actions after returning to office was offering refuge to white South Africans who faced property seizures and racial violence at home. The decision sparked a political firestorm, but months later, many Afrikaners say their promised path to America has stalled. Daily Wire immigration reporter Jennie Taer joins Tim Rice to discuss her investigation into the refugee program, the nonprofit at the center of the controversy, and why some refugees have been left in limbo.

Subscribe to our YouTube channel On our political radar this week… Former Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan adds to decades of proof that an independent candidate for statewide office is doomed, pulling the plug on what had become a fading Quixotic quest. He was supposed to be the star of the annual Greater Detroit Chamber of Commerce policy conference on Mackinac Island which was wrapping up as we recorded. There are no major surprises coming from the two days of fun, fudge and high-level schmoozing and boozing … and also no gubernatorial debate even though the major contenders are all at the Grand Hotel. It became a wake for the reality of Duggan's “impossible dream” which proved, in fact, to be impossible. Does it clear the way for Jocelyn Benson to ride a Blue Wave into the Governor's office? National Democrats have launched a circular firing squad over the 2024 Autopsy report with DNC chair Ken Martin facing calls for his ouster. But does anyone outside of the party's org chart and the political media give a damn? Meanwhile, Michigan Democrats are making a pitch to the DNC to put Michigan into the first tier of presidential primaries.  President Donald Trump's push to reshape congressional districts ahead of the November elections suffered a double setback Tuesday, as South Carolina senators declined to do so and a federal court blocked a Republican-backed map in Alabama. As early in-person voting began Tuesday in South Carolina's primaries, the state Senate rejected a Republican plan to cancel those congressional votes and instead schedule a new primary under revised districts designed to help the GOP oust Jim Clyburn, the state's only black member of Congress. A Republican win in Texas could well mean a Democratic win in November. Utterly corrupt Attorney General Ken Paxton outlasted Senator John Cornyn despite multiple national Republicans correctly pointing out that Paxton was a grotesquely flawed candidate. He's under federal indictment, he narrowly avoided CONVICTION AFTER impeachment – BY A GOP LEGISLATURE, and he's being sued for divorce by his state senator wife thanks to his affair with a former aide and state securities regulator. Democrats in Washington have made it clear that a Blue Wave flip of congressional control will mean investigations into the Trump administration’s corruption. As lawmakers grow increasingly frustrated with President Donald Trump's planned $1.8 billion lawsuit settlement fund and his thousands of stock trades totaling hundreds of millions dollars, a trio of House Democrats is launching a new caucus aimed at fighting malfeasance in government. The new End Corruption Caucus is launching at the direction of Representatives Jason Crow, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Mike Levin, D-Calif., spanning the party's centrist to progressive wings. When Donald Trump is feeling down, he brings in his Cabinet which spends a couple of hours telling him how great he is. On Wednesday the latest gathering focused on extolling what great things Trump has done for the economy and bringing Iran to its knees … nevermind that neither is consistent with reality. In fact, the latest reports from the Trump government is that inflation moved higher again last month … to the highest level in 3 years. Yes, inflation was lower during the final 2 years of the Biden administration. All of this to help him cope with his cognitive decline and his pending mortality after continual images of his rotting hands, his incessant bragging about being able to pass rudimentary dementia tests (that seem to be a regular occurrence), and news that he's had not one, not two, but THREE physicals at Walter Reed Hospital in less than a year, along with the realization that he was facing humiliation in the mid-term elections … which, all of a sudden, he claims are meaningless for him.  And it gave Trump a chance to introduce the latest merch available for his flock to buy on his QVC-style website, even laying out his newest tacky 55-dollar baseball cap in front of each of his cabinet members. Thankfully, none of them wore them during the meeting…and there's no report if the men in the room were wearing their Trump-mandated Florsheim shoes. The Trump administration said Tuesday that it will admit an additional 10,000 white South Africans into the U.S. as refugees this year, increasing its historically low annual cap but still blocking people from other countries from entering through the program. Trump suspended the refugee program on his first day in office and, since then, has turned it into a vehicle to allow Afrikaners — a group of white South Africans descended mainly from Dutch settlers — into the U.S. And there's more than a little turmoil at Michigan State University. The Board of Trustees offered president Kevin Guskiewicz a $1-million pay raise and a contract extention. He said ‘no thanks' and, after just two years in East Lansing, moves to President of Clemson University. This, after the board enacts controversial rules muzzling individual members … and penalizing two trustees for refusing to agree to the changes. All this adds to proposals to have the Governor appoint all university boards instead of relying on state political party nominations and partisan elections. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In loving memory of our friend, Dr. John ‘Joe’ Schwarz – 1937-2026 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Introducing our new podcast!

This week, we honor the patriots who sacrificed their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor for America’s liberty. In this special Memorial Day edition of The Sentinel Report, we examine why preserving freedom requires truth, vigilance, and education and why you must get involved. In the news, Alex Newman covers the Senate's bombshell COVID-19 special hearing, Rep. Thomas Massie’s election defeat and its implications for the MAGA movement, and the latest developments in the UN-driven climate agenda. Later, Col. Chris Wyatt joins us in studio to challenge media narratives surrounding Afrikaner refugees arriving in the United States. We also speak with Ariel Kraft about Christian missions, the global orphan crisis, and how listeners can make a real difference in the life of a child. The headlines may be troubling, but there is still hope—and solutions.

This week, the President announced a proposed expansion of the America's refugee program - from 7,500 admissions to 17,500. But there's a caveat: those extra 10,000 spots are reserved for white South Africans. Last May, when the first round of Afrikaners arrived in the States, OTM host Micah Loewinger spoke to Carolyn Holmes, professor of political science at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, about why Afrikaner white rights groups objected to the refugee policy, and the long-standing exchange of ideas between white nationalist elites in the US and South Africa.

How to write about place is a question that cuts across the career of the South African Ivan Vladislavić. The questions of place and space are pressing ones in the context of South Africa, where the transition to democracy in 1994 included a redrawing of the national map, and the last three decades have seen the large-scale transformation of urban centers such as Johannesburg. What defines Johannesburg a literary city? asks the critic Jeanne-Marie Jackson. From this unfurls a series of reflections about the writer's relationship to place and the various ways in which narrative form can be bent to capture the experience of place—and in particular the experience of a place as it changes across time. The resulting work may feel fragmentary, Ivan allows, but that is a function of the nature of place rather than an imposition on the part of the writer. Finally, the conversation turns toward Ivan's choice to study Afrikaans literature in the 1970s. As a tradition often at odds with Afrikaner politics and urgently concerned with the world Ivan himself inhabited, reading the work of Afrikaans writers such as Ingrid Winterbach, Entienne Leroux, André Brink, and Breyten Breytenbach offered a vital counterpoint to Ivan's training in the English canon. Ivan closes by fondly remembering the teacher who introduced him to the writer's notebook, a habit that continues to be crucial to his practice today. Mentioned in this episode: The Folly Double Negative The Near North Zoë Wicomb, You Can't Get Lost in Cape Town Georges Pérec Gauteng John Miles, Ampie Coetzee, Ernst Lindenberg, and Taurus Publishers Marlene van Niekerk Nadine Gordimer The Goon Show Learn more about your ad choices.

It is not a stretch to say that the defeat by the British at Majuba was also the political birth of the Afrikaner people. While the Great Trek provided the origin story, Majuba provided the validation—the sense that their culture was not only distinct but divinely protected and militarily capable of standing against the greatest empire of the age. Before the main event, there was the small matter of Schuinshoogte. It was February 1881, and General Sir George Pomeroy Colley was in a bind. Boer patrols under Commander J. D. Weilbach were constantly harassing his communications with Newcastle. Colley was determined to act. The recent defeat at Laing's Nek had energized the Boers, and he needed to clear the road between Newcastle and Mount Prospect. His reinforcements were finally on the way, but first, he had to keep those vital British supply lines open. Deputy President Paul Kruger sent a letter to George Pomeroy Colley on the 12th February 1881, requesting negotiations. “We desire to seek no conflict with the Imperial Government but cannot do otherwise than give the last drop of blood for our lawful right, for which also each Englishmen would give his blood..” Colley wrote back on the 21st February. “Sir I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter…” “…I must inform you that as soon as the Boers, now in arms against her Majesty's authority, discontinue their armed resistance, Her Majesty's Government is prepared to appoint a Commission…” Both sides had agreed that some kind of Royal Commission would be responsible for investigating the causes of this war. That placated the Boer Triumpherate leadership. Kruger sent another letter on the 28th February 1881, “to this excellency, Sir G Pomeroy Colley… I have the satisfaction … to inform you that we are very thankful for the declaration…” He meant of a commission — Kruger and the Boers were sure they would be exonerated by a proper investigation “It appears to us…” he continued “…that now for the first time since the unhappy day of the annexation, an opportunity occurs of coming to a friendly settlement…” Kruger was calling for a speedy resolution. Colley never read the letter. He was already dead. His end was to come at Majuba on the 27th February. On Saturday night, February 26th, General Colley left his camp again on a secret expedition. With him was a compact force of 405 men, two companies of the 58th Regiment, two of the 3-60th, two of the 92nd highlands, the Naval Brigade, some Hussars, the cavalry. Two other companies of the 3-60th were to leave a little later with reserve ammunition and form a defensive position behind Colley's advancing expedition. The troops had no idea where they were going, only after the march began did word spread they were on their way to a high hill called Majuba to the left of the British camp. From their they would have a commanding view of the Boer camps, and their line of defences on the escarpment flats beyond Laing's Nek. The 3-60th were on the left, facing a difficult pass. They all stopped at a ridge below this imposing mountain, the horses, the Hussars, and the guns were sent back to the camp, there was no way they'd make it up this steep side. That alone should have been a warning to Colley. He knew he was outnumbered by the Boers, but decided to go ahead and climb to the summit of Majuba anyway despite leaving his vital artillery behind. It was a very difficult climb, and they reached the top just before daybreak on the 27th February. Sunday morning. Six hours of toil, but they'd made it, despite the dangerous climb. To his credit, General Colley was the second man to reach the top, behind his two IC Major Fraser. As the sun rose, subaltern's pitched a tent for Colley, the soldiers ate their breakfast, while some began to dig wells for water. Crucially, they were not digging in for battle, presuming that no-one would be able to reach their position — they held the high ground after all.

Moderner Menschenhandel: Wie ein junger Mann aus Kenia mit Lügen in den Ukraine-Krieg gelockt wurde.

Podlitiek se gedagtes oor Malema se vonnisverrigtinge en die nuwe DA leierskap.

Die GOOD-party sê dis ʼn slim plan om ʼn wit Afrikaner-man wat bande gehad het met die apartheidsregering na Washington te stuur om president Donald Trump se regering te paai. Die party het gereageer op Roelf Meyer se aanstelling as Suid-Afrika se ambassadeur in Amerika. GOOD se sekretaris-generaal, Brett Herron, sê Meyer se ervaring as onderhandelaar van die land se politieke bestel en nuwe Grondwet, gee hom ʼn vaste grondslag om die leuens oor volksmoord verkeerd te bewys:

The approach by the English political parties of the time to the young Boer Republics was confused, and even contradictory. William Gladstone, a liberal, had succeeded in ousting the Tory's under Benjamin Disraeli in his famous Midlothian Campaign of 1879 and 1880. In 1880 Gladstone formed his second ministry and almost immediately, the promises he'd made about foreswearing foreign wars were broken. There is a direct link between what was going on in South Africa and in Ireland. These two territories, so far apart geographically, featured as joint threats in the English mind of the time. The most direct link is Gladstone himself. He had criticized the annexation of the Transvaal during his Midlothian Campaign, but once in power, he hesitated to reverse British policy, fearing a domino effect where weakness in Pretoria would lead to revolution in Dublin. By 1880, the Irish Nationalists began to see the Boers not just as fellow farmers, but as fellow victims of British coercion. This Irish link flourished throughout the 19th and part of the 20th Century with Irish Nationalists fighting both for the Boers during the Second Anglo-Boer War. The shift in Irish nationalist alignment was driven by a move from anti-imperial solidarity to human rights internationalism. Initially, the Irish supported the Boers as fellow "peasant-republicans" fighting the British Empire, but as the 20th century progressed, the Irish Republican movement increasingly identified with the ANC, viewing the struggle against Apartheid as a mirror to their own fight against institutionalized discrimination in Northern Ireland. By the height of the Cold War, the Irish Republican Army's Marxist-leaning leadership saw the Afrikaner government as a pro-Western, colonialist proxy, leading them to provide tactical advice and training to Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) to help dismantle the very state they had once ideologically championed. But at first, they were close allies in both spirit and in their political expression. The South African crisis which led to the first Boer War of 1880 and 1881, occurred because the British government claimed to be the paramount authority and trustee of South Africa, and the Boers rejected this claim. Earlier, in 1878, Paul Kruger and Piet Joubert had sailed to London with a petition signed by over 6,500 Boers demanding the reversal of the Transvaal annexation. Sir Michael Hicks Beach had just taken over as Colonial Secretary from the more diplomatic and polite Lord Carnarvon. Hicks-Beach was nicknamed Black Michael, referring to his famously long, dark beard, his tall, thin, imposing frame, and his legendary dark temper. He was known for being abrasive, combative, and having very little patience for those who didn't respect British authority. To the English, it seemed that South Africa was on the verge of becoming another Ireland, the inveterate hostility of whose people might only be held down at tremendous cost by main force. Gladstone and his cabinet grappled with one main question. In both territories, Transvaal and Ireland, should a nationalist reaction be met with coercion, or concession?

The final hour of The Tara Show on April 10, 2026, continues its sharp critique of administrative failures, starting with the controversy in the Strait of Hormuz where Iran and China have begun charging tolls of up to $2 million per vessel. The broadcast then shifts to a heated debate over immigration, accusing Democrats of apathy toward crimes committed by undocumented individuals while highlighting "liberal media outrage" over a new program prioritizing refugee status for Afrikaners from South Africa. Finally, the show circles back to a local "total irony" alert, mocking the Greenville police officer who was ticketed for driving too fast for conditions after causing a major multi-car wreck on I-385.

yes The April 10, 2026, broadcast of The Tara Show delivers a high-stakes analysis of global power shifts, domestic policy failures, and local ironies. The program begins by arguing that China, not Iran, is the true victor of the recent Middle East conflict, strategically filling the vacuum left by a U.S. focus on military optics. This geopolitical tension is underscored by a controversial new system in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran is imposing tolls of up to $2 million per vessel—a move President Trump has labeled a violation of the ceasefire while simultaneously hinting at a potential "joint venture" to share the revenue. NPR NPR +3 On the domestic front, the show critiques Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger for her refusal to cooperate with ICE following the murder of Stephanie Minter by an undocumented immigrant with a long criminal history. This is set against broader immigration debates, including liberal media outrage over the administration's new refugee program specifically prioritizing white Afrikaners from South Africa while slashing overall admissions to historic lows. Facebook Facebook +3 Locally, the show highlights a sharp health contrast from a WalletHub report ranking Greenville among the nation's fattest cities while nearby Asheville ranks among the fittest. The broadcast circles back to a "total irony" alert regarding a Greenville police officer ticketed for driving too fast for conditions after causing a major four-car pileup on I-385. Finally, the hour concludes with the world watching the Pacific Ocean for the high-stakes Artemis II reentry scheduled for 8:00 PM, where the mission's success rests entirely on its heat shield.

The Bapedi have a rich and textured history, as with most of South Africa's past, where religion and tradition are entwined to create a consciousness of life that is attractive to the naturally curious. Today, part of Limpopo Province bushveld contains private game parks with Bapedi and other African names — including Moya which has three meanings. It is used for wind, or breath, or the soul, roughly translated. It is something they say which cannot be seen, but can be heard. When a sick person wheezes, you know they're alive, because you can hear their soul, it has not departed. At night, when there is stillness, and you pick up the faint sounds of someone speaking, and upon investigation you find noone, then you know it is the soul of a dead person. Parts of your body are Moya, the lungs, blood, heart, liver, kidneys, and sex organs, your head and your hair. It is also these parts which are mostly associated with or susceptible to, disease. Your Moya is like your iris, or your fingerprint, there is noone else who has a copy of your Moya. While humans cannot live without Moya, sometimes it can live without their seriti, your shadow and reflection but this is the supernatural representation. The Bapedi word for shadow and a reflection in water or a mirror is Moriti. Your Seriti is created at birth, when you cast your first shadow. For extremely traditional Bapedi, it is bad manners to step on anothers shadow, or allow your shadow to fall on someone else. Traditional healers therefore won't work at midday when the sun is directly overhead, because it is said, the spirits of the dead are sleeping. Chief Sekhukhune of the Bapedi knew this when he built his fortress in a steep sided narrow valley south of the Olifants River at what was called his Stat. While the British were focusing on the Zulu's in 1879, Sekhukhune was sparring with other English authorities along the Olifants, and the towns of Lydenburg and Middelburg were reinforced. The Bapedi Chief wanted to expand his territory across the Steelpoort River and his raiding parties were bothering the Boers there. His position was further strengthened by a drought which meant British and Boer commandos could not take to the field, there wasn't enough grass and water for their oxen and horses. The dreaded horse sickness had also broken out, further complicating the Transvaal Government's plans.According to the blueprint for the Transvaal that had been devised by administrator Theophilos Shepstone and Cape Governor Sir Bartle Frere, the defeat of the Bapedi would be proof to the Boers of the British good faith. It would demonstrate that British rule was a blessing. To their considerable astonishment, this act actually put the final nail in the coffin of confederation as the Cambridge History of South Africa puts it. Since the British took control of the Cape in 1805, their policy had been grounded in the belief that once the won allegiance of the Dutch and Huguenot settler population, peace and prosperity would be guaranteed.

We're raining hellfire down on Iran and American soldiers have died, but that doesn't stop Trump from hitting the links, doing a little dancing, or holding a revenge rally. His main preoccupation is his daily PR battle over the war—which currently involves arguing that higher gas prices are a good thing. And his ever dutiful backup chorus in Congress is happy to explain how “freedom isn't free.” Meanwhile, the immigration system has been so undone that we now have a shortage of seasonal workers.

When a family sailing journey ends in capture by child soldiers during Mozambique's civil war, a man must protect his children while confronting the unsettling truth that his captors are both perpetrators of violence and children shaped by it. Today's episode featured Dave Muller. Dave has written about his experiences in a book entitled, “Not Child's Play”, available where books are sold or at https://notchildsplay.co.uk/ You can email Dave at dave.muller@notchildsplay.co.za Dave is on Instagram @davenotchildsplay, on Facebook @Dave Muller and on YouTube @DaveMuller-NotChildsPlayIn the 1960s and 1970s, both South Africa and Mozambique were part of the larger decolonization of Africa, with South Africa gaining full independence from Britain in 1961 and Mozambique gaining independence from Portugal in 1975. However, in the decolonization process, both were thrown into proxy battles, between old structures clinging to power and the larger global cold war between communist and capitalist superpowers. South Africa, even after independence, was still ruled by a white minority government, under the National Party. The National Party was populated mostly by the white ethnic group known as Afrikaners who spoke a language called Afrikaans. The National Party instituted apartheid, a brutally oppressive system of institutionalized racial segregation and white supremacy enforced in South Africa from 1948 to the early 1990s. South Africa shares a northeastern border with Mozambique. When Mozambique gained independence in 1975, they were ruled by the Communist party known as FRELIMO. FRELIMO became a major force opposing apartheid in neighboring South Africa. The South African apartheid government, in response to FRELIMO's opposition, actively destabilized Mozambique from the inside by propping up a rebel group known as RENAMO. This led to a violent 15-year civil war in Mozambique, between the ruling, communist-backed FRELIMO party and the South African-backed RENAMO rebel group. In the first part of today's episode, you'll hear our storyteller speak about growing up in South Africa during apartheid as a white man, but he was not an Afrikaner, and grew up in a family that was opposed to apartheid. The second part of the story takes place in Mozambique, where he and his family are held by the RENAMO rebel group and caught in the chaos and fighting between FRELIMO and RENAMO, the two warring factions in the civil war there. Of course there is much more to say about all of this, and Dave will speak to some of these issues as he experienced them. I encourage you all to read more about the brutal and complex history of decolonization and apartheid in Africa. And one final note, you'll hear Dave talking about “Arwen” several times. In case it isn't clear right away, he is referring to his boat that he built.

Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports from McDowell County, W.Va. – once the nation's largest coal producer, and now one of the poorest places in the country, where the food stamp program started and the opioid crisis took hold. When President Trump said he would “permanently pause migration from all third world countries” to the U.S., there was one exception: the resettlement of white South African refugees, mostly Afrikaners. The president has said white farmers in the country are victims of genocide, a claim the government of South Africa disputes. Artificial intelligence is being used to make art that is being embraced by many of the world's most prestigious museums and auction houses, raising an age-old question: what counts as art?  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a texthttps://www.bookclues.comCare about wildlife conservation, China-Africa politics, religious freedom, and character-driven storytelling with real stakes, this conversation is for you. An interview with author David Pinault on his real world fiction bookEarth Dragon RunA Spiritual EntertainmentIgnatius PressA quiet librarian gets pushed out, grabs a stuffed monkey, and walks straight into the underbelly of our global moment. We dive into Earth Dragon Run, a propulsive novel that uses one endangered creature—the pangolin—to map the hidden circuitry of animal trafficking, cyber scams, and state-backed extraction across Africa and Asia. What starts as a quirky quest becomes a moral investigation: How do you keep your soul when markets price everything and protect nothing?We follow Danny Quirk, a 70-year-old with more books than friends, and Minnie Meixing, a Hong Kong student-turned-refugee who channels her courage into wildlife rescue near the China border and later in South Africa. Their paths illuminate hard truths: demand for pangolin scales in traditional medicine, snares that silently kill in the bush, and mines where “cost optimization” erases worker safety and scars the land. Along the way we unpack Cardinal Zen's witness, the Vatican's uneasy deal with Beijing, and why younger Chinese volunteers abroad quietly defy cruelty even as the Party tightens its grip.The conversation moves from San Francisco's Chinatown to Hong Kong marches, from snare sweeps near Kruger to casino-linked cyber scam hubs in Cambodia. We meet characters inspired by real encounters—Afrikaner farmers, Zimbabwean migrants, mixed patrol teams—whose cooperation in the bush cuts through propaganda. We also set Catholic tradition beside Jain nonviolence to ask what genuine compassion demands now: not slogans, but practices that shield the vulnerable. And yes, we talk Latin, old prayers, and the armor of God—because spiritual formation isn't nostalgia; it's training for a world that fights back.Find out more about Professor Pinault other books  https://ignatius.com/authors/david-pinault/

Il y a un an, Donald Trump était élu président des États-Unis. Le nouveau locataire de la Maison Blanche est depuis omniprésent à l'international. En Afrique, le Nigeria et l'Afrique du Sud ont été directement concernés par un interventionnisme décomplexé… La fin de l'Agence des États-Unis pour le développement international (Usaid), quant à elle, a de lourdes conséquences humaines sur le continent. Les manifestants brandissent un immense drapeau du Venezuela dans les rues de Pretoria, capitale de l'Afrique du Sud. Celui des États-Unis, flotte en arrière-plan au-dessus d'une ambassade américaine surprotégée. Les slogans des manifestants sud-africains sont clairs : « Hands Off Venezuela », ‘Ne touchez pas au Venezuela.' » « Il s'agit d'une manifestation d'urgence, explique Mohammed Desai, de l'Association Afrique du Sud-Amérique latine, organisée par diverses organisations de la société civile sud-africaine, des partis politiques ainsi que des syndicats. Aujourd'hui, c'est le Venezuela qui est attaqué, demain, nous craignons que ce soit l'Afrique du Sud ! » Lors de la manifestation, le secrétaire général du Parti communiste sud-africain Solly Mapaila regrette le manque de réactions internationales. « À l'heure actuelle, tonne-t-il, les États-Unis font ce qui leur plait ! Il est regrettable qu'ils soient autorisés à le faire et que certains pays dans le monde n'aient pas réagi de manière appropriée... Nous refusons de vivre dans un monde monolithique dans lequel les États-Unis nous imposent une forme extrême de capitalisme de droite et de conservatisme, sans quoi ils ne nous considèrent ! » Nations unies, salle du Conseil de sécurité. Trois notes, les diplomates s'installent. La présidence somalienne prend le micro : la réunion 10085 du Conseil de sécurité est déclarée ouverte. Ce 5 janvier 2026, la désapprobation africaine face à l'intervention des États-Unis au Venezuela est cette fois-ci exprimée en termes diplomatiques, par la voix de l'ambassadeur Lewis Brown. Le représentant du Liberia aux Nations unies s'exprime devant le Conseil au nom du A3, le groupe des trois membres africains non-permanents du Conseil de sécurité : « De tels développements représentent des défis sérieux, non seulement par rapport à la stabilité interne du Venezuela, mais aussi parce qu'ils soulignent l'impératif de sauvegarder, plus largement, la paix et la sécurité de la région. Le A3 demeure ferme dans son engagement en faveur des principes fondamentaux du droit international, y compris le respect total de la souveraineté et de l'intégrité territoriale des États, tels qu'inscrits dans la charte des Nations unies, dans l'intérêt de la stabilité régionale et de la paix internationale. » Plusieurs gouvernements et organisations ont également marqué leur protestation par des communiqués : le Ghana, la Namibie, l'Union africaine ou l'Alliance des États du Sahel. Interventionnisme décomplexé  Le cas vénézuélien est devenu emblématique d'un interventionnisme décomplexé. Et l'Afrique est d'autant plus concernée par cette politique de puissance qu'elle en a elle-même été la cible. Dès février 2025, des frappes américaines sont déclenchées contre des cibles de l'organisation État islamique dans les montagnes du Golis, dans le nord de la Somalie. À la fin de l'année, c'est le Nigeria qui fait l'objet d'une intervention américaine, préparée et justifiée par un argumentaire sur mesure : l'existence d'un prétendu massacre de chrétiens dans le pays. Des frappes censées viser l'État islamique sont déclenchées le jour de Noël, le 25 décembre. En ce début d'année 2026, certains sur place s'interrogent encore sur les motivations réelles de l'intervention américaine… Comme le professeur Muktar Omar Bunza, qui enseigne l'histoire sociale à l'Université du Nord-Ouest à Sokoto, au Nigeria. « Avec ce qu'il s'est passé au Venezuela, explique-t-il, les gens ont l'impression que les Américains peuvent prendre n'importe quel prétexte, comme par exemple cette histoire de persécutions religieuses, que n'importe quoi peut servir de justification pour que les Américains s'emparent des ressources d'un endroit. Donc, les gens ont peur, ils craignent que ce soit juste une étape, ils perdent confiance dans l'idée d'une démocratie américaine qui respecterait les droits humains, ou qui les défendrait ». Le Grand invité AfriqueOusmane Ndiaye: «L'Afrique subit déjà la brutalité de Trump» L'inquiétude est d'autant plus forte que la parole développée autour de cette politique de puissance s'émancipe largement des faits, de la réalité du terrain. L'exemple nigérian n'est pas unique. L'Afrique du Sud a elle aussi dû endurer les déformations trumpiennes de la vérité. Depuis son retour au pouvoir, Donald Trump s'est érigé en défenseur des fermiers blancs qu'il considère victimes d'un « génocide » en Afrique du Sud. Cette affirmation ne s'appuie pourtant sur aucun fait. « Il nous ramène dans notre passé ! » Se rendre dans une ferme au nord de Pretoria aide à s'en rendre compte. Ici on élève des poulets et l'on produit des choux ou des poivrons. Le Dr. Ethel Zulu est nutritionniste de formation. Il y a une dizaine d'années, elle a choisi de devenir agricultrice, elle est aujourd'hui à la tête d'une propriété d'une vingtaine d'hectares. Le crime en milieu rural, raconte-t-elle, touche aussi (et surtout) la communauté noire. Elle en a elle-même été victime. « Avant, explique-t-elle, nous occupions notre maison entièrement, mais nous avons décidé d'y installer aussi certains de nos employés, pour ne pas être seules ma fille et moi. Comme ça on se sent un peu plus en sécurité. Vous savez, cette question de la sécurité dans les fermes est un problème qui touche toute la communauté agricole, ce n'est pas du tout un problème racial mais bien un problème national. » Sa réaction aux propos du président américain, à ses affirmations sur une communauté blanche prise pour cible et l'existence d'un « génocide » ? « Cet homme est raciste, c'est tout ! Parce que les incidents que subissent les agriculteurs noirs dans leurs exploitations, comme moi, personne n'en a parlé. Nous venons par exemple de perdre un cadre de notre coopérative - AFASA. Le 26 décembre 2025, ils sont entrés armés chez lui, lui ont dérobé tout son argent, puis l'ont tué ! Et on nous dit que les agriculteurs blancs sont plus vulnérables que les agriculteurs noirs ? Ce sont des mensonges, des absurdités, nous sommes tous des cibles ! D'une certaine manière, ces propos divisent le pays en raison de notre histoire. Nous essayons d'aller de l'avant, et lui, il nous ramène dans notre passé ! » Ethel Zulu sort son téléphone et ouvre WhatsApp. Apparaissent alors de nombreux groupes communautaires, symbole de l'entraide entre voisins. « Tous les membres sont des agriculteurs du coin… Là, c'est notre équipe d'urgence… » Dans ces groupes, les noms Afrikaners, de la minorité blanche, se mêlent aux noms africains. Illustration d'une communauté d'agriculteurs soudée, victime de la même criminalité, parce qu'isolée en milieu rural, loin des postes de police.  « Not in our name » De l'autre côté de l'Atlantique, malgré le rappel des faits et de la réalité de terrain, Donald Trump persiste. Le documentaliste Louis Gaigher et plusieurs dizaines d'Afrikaners ont co-signé une lettre ouverte dans la presse sud-africaine, « Not in our name », 'Pas en notre nom'. Une réponse aux propos américains. « Je pense que ce qu'il fait ici, ou plutôt le genre de rhétorique qu'il utilise, relève complètement de la suprématie blanche. Je trouve cela extrêmement opportuniste. Je ne peux parler qu'en mon nom, je refuse qu'on me présente comme un réfugié ou quelqu'un qui souffre à cause du gouvernement postapartheid et de la démocratie. »  En Afrique du Sud, 35 ans après la fin de l'Apartheid, la minorité blanche est encore très puissante économiquement et politiquement. Elle détient une grande majorité des terres du pays. Si la Nation arc-en-ciel est confrontée à bien des défis, Louis Gaigher et les autres signataires de cette tribune, refusent d'être « des pions dans les guerres culturelles américaines ». « L'administration américaine attaque notre politique de redistribution des terres. Mais ici nous avons l'État de droit qui doit toujours être protégé. Et c'est complètement ridicule que les Américains se plaignent de notre loi sur l'expropriation sans compensation ​alors qu'ils font précisément la même chose, et de manière très violente, avec le Venezuela, ou encore avec leurs projets pour le Groenland ! » Les cas nigérian et sud-africain viennent en tout cas confirmer que la manipulation décomplexée de la réalité est l'un des piliers de la gouvernance trumpienne. « Ce que Donald Trump a fait, c'est qu'il a reconfiguré ce que nous considérions comme ‘la vérité', analyse Trust Matsilele, maître de conférences à l'Université de Birmingham. La vérité ou les faits sont maintenant des concepts fragiles. À partir du moment où ils ne servent plus ses intérêts, ils peuvent être contestés ou rejetés. C'est ce qu'on pourrait appeler une ‘politisation de la vérité'. Certaines des choses qui avaient été vues comme des vérités établies sont remises en cause : le changement climatique, les concepts de démocratie et d'État de droit. Tout cela a été bousculé par la vision du monde de Donald Trump ». Le chercheur s'arrête sur les risques que fait courir un tel comportement : « La vérité doit être la vérité, quelle que soit votre position. À partir du moment où vous commencez à politiser tout cela, on bascule de la vérité objective à la propagande, la mésinformation, la désinformation et les fake news… » Des opinions publiques africaines partagées À Kinshasa, dans le quartier commerçant de la Gombe, la circulation est encore timide et les embouteillages n'ont pas encore fait leur apparition, ce matin-là. Les Kinois sont déjà sur le chemin du travail. Certains, comme Jacquemain, disent la crainte que leur inspire désormais Trump, en dépit de son engagement en faveur du processus de paix en République démocratique du Congo. « Auparavant, quand il était arrivé au pouvoir, on pensait qu'il allait faire de bonnes choses, surtout pour notre pays la RDC. On pensait que c'était dans notre intérêt, la population congolaise. Mais maintenant, quand on constate la politique qu'il est en train d'amener dans le monde, on se demande : est-ce que ce n'est pas par intérêt pour nos minerais ? On a ensuite vu ce qu'il s'est passé au Venezuela, et puis ça n'est pas encore fini, on attend encore maintenant bientôt le Groenland et tout ça. On se demande : qu'est-ce qu'il se passe dans la tête de ce président-là ? » Patrick, lui aussi, déplore les coups portés à l'ordre international. « Quand il est venu, regrette-t-il, il a montré l'image de quelqu'un qui voulait la paix. Maintenant, on est en train de remarquer qu'il crée des problèmes. Apparemment, il ne respecte pas les lois internationales. Il y a eu la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Après, les gens se sont réunis pour établir des lois qu'ils devraient respecter. Apparemment, ces lois, lui, ne lui disent rien. Il fait ce qu'il veut. Alors, ça fait craindre. » Cela provoque des débats également à Abidjan, en Côte d'Ivoire, comme entre ces étudiants en anglais rassemblés dans une salle d'université. Beaucoup admirent le président américain. « Il faut dire que c'est un gars bien, estime Daniel, il exerce un pouvoir très exécutif. Ses partisans valorisent son leadership et aussi sa manière de prendre des décisions… Quand il veut faire, il fait ». « Le monsieur il est simple, avance de son côté Emmanuella. Il te dit “fais ça”, tu ne fais pas ça, il te voit directement comme un ennemi… Pour diriger, il faut avoir de la poigne, on ne peut pas diriger avec les sentiments ». L'interventionnisme américain au Venezuela ou au Nigeria n'émeut pas Ange, qui n'a pas 20 ans. Il voit Trump comme un modèle à suivre et approuve sa posture envers les États africains : « C'est un monsieur qui agit par intérêt et ses relations avec l'Afrique sont plutôt par intérêt. ‘Je vous apporte quelque chose si vous m'apportez quelque chose. Si vous ne m'apportez rien, je ne vous apporte rien !' Je pense que Donald Trump a eu cette intelligence-là et il fait bien. Un pays n'a pas d'amis, il n'a que des intérêts. Et je pense que Donald Trump applique cela et ça me fait plaisir de voir cela ». Ange rêve d'étudier aux États-Unis. Son espoir paraît compromis depuis le 1er janvier et la suspension de la délivrance de visas accordés aux ressortissants ivoiriens, une mesure jugée discriminatoire par beaucoup. « Une nouvelle approche mercantiliste » La diplomatie trumpienne navigue-t-elle à vue, comme l'assurent certains observateurs, ou a-t-elle une cohérence et une logique profonde ? Pour le professeur Adekeye Adebajo de l'Université de Pretoria, la politique internationale de Donald Trump s'inscrit dans le temps long de l'interventionnisme américain. « Je pense, explique cet universitaire, que ce que fait Trump s'inscrit dans la continuité de ce que les États‑Unis ont fait par le passé, car je ne crois pas qu'il soit forcément exact de le présenter comme une aberration totale. Il y a trente‑cinq ans, George Bush Père a envoyé des troupes américaines au Panama et ils y ont arrêté le dictateur Manuel Noriega, l'ont littéralement enlevé et emmené aux États‑Unis pour y être jugé et emprisonné… Donc, si nous connaissons notre histoire, nous savons que de nombreuses administrations américaines ont fait exactement ce que Trump a fait, ou des choses similaires ».  Le chercheur voit également dans le regard trumpien sur le monde une doctrine qui associe une nouvelle fois la puissance, le commerce et l'accès aux ressources minières. « Je pense que, fondamentalement, il y a un principe : il s'agit d'une nouvelle approche mercantiliste qui consiste essentiellement à freiner la mainmise de la Chine sur les minerais rares et à s'assurer que les États‑Unis aient effectivement accès à ces ressources. On a vu que ses efforts de “paix” dans la région des Grands Lacs, en RDC, au Rwanda, en Ukraine et ailleurs, ont aussi comporté des accords miniers. L'intervention et l'enlèvement du président vénézuélien portent évidemment aussi sur le pétrole, et je pense donc qu'une grande partie de tout cela tourne autour de la Chine, de l'équilibrage de la puissance chinoise et des garanties qu'elle ne puisse pas rivaliser avec les États‑Unis ». Adekeye Adebajo insiste sur un troisième aspect : la diplomatie trumpienne est marquée par sa volonté de défaire le multilatéralisme. C'est ainsi que les États-Unis sont récemment sortis de 66 organisations internationales. Et c'est ainsi qu'ils ont fermé l'Usaid, l'Agence américaine pour le développement international. Usaid : les lourdes conséquences d'une fermeture Le Soudan du Sud est l'un des pays qui en sort le plus affecté. L'assistance américaine a été divisée par plus de quatorze entre 2024 et 2025. Il n'aura fallu que quelques semaines après l'annonce de la fin d'Usaid pour en mesurer les conséquences dans la localité de Gurei, à l'ouest de la capitale du Soudan du Sud, Juba. Le centre de nutrition de Gurei prend en charge des enfants en malnutrition sévère. D'habitude très fréquenté, il est quasiment vide en ce mois de mars 2025. Les aliments thérapeutiques utilisés pour traiter la malnutrition infantile, les fameux sachets de pâte d'arachide enrichie fournis par l'Usaid, ne sont déjà plus disponibles depuis environ un mois. Quand Helen Furu vient faire examiner son fils Joseph, 1 an, elle doit faire ce constat douloureux : depuis la dernière visite, sa situation ne s'améliore pas, faute d'aliments thérapeutiques. « Mon mari est fonctionnaire et ça arrive souvent qu'il ne soit pas payé, confie Helen Furu. Quant à moi, quand j'étais enceinte de Joseph, je travaillais sur le marché et je me suis épuisée. Quand il est né, il était très faible et chétif. Quand il a été pris en charge ici, avec les traitements, son état s'est un peu amélioré. Chaque lundi, je viens ici pour le suivi mais ça fait un moment que les traitements à base de pâte d'arachide ne sont plus distribués, je ne sais pas trop quel est le problème. Cela m'inquiète car, quand il prend ce complément, il va mieux. J'ai envie de dire aux Américains de ne pas arrêter de soutenir les enfants du Soudan du Sud. Dans notre pays, très peu de gens vivent bien. La grande majorité souffre car il n'y a pas de travail ». Le directeur du centre de Gurei, Sarafino Doggal, porte une blouse blanche brodée du logo de l'Usaid, vestige de temps révolus. Debout dans son bureau face à un mur de tableaux statistiques, il appelle au soutien pour faire face aux besoins énormes de la population : « Hier, par exemple, nous avons reçu 325 patients venus de différents quartiers. Nous les recevons, mais le problème c'est que nous n'avons pas de médicaments. Il y a de nombreux enfants en situation de malnutrition. Vous voyez tous ces patients ? Ils viennent à la clinique le matin sans avoir pris de petit-déjeuner, pas même un thé. Ils vont passer toute leur journée ici, et puis rentrer chez eux où il n'y aura rien à manger. Les chefs communautaires m'ont dit que la situation empire, surtout en ce qui concerne la malnutrition infantile, à cause de l'arrêt des aliments thérapeutiques. Les enfants et leurs mères souffrent énormément. » Plusieurs mois ont passé et les conséquences de la fin de l'Usaid continuent à se faire sentir sur le continent, ailleurs. Comme à Addis-Abeba, la capitale éthiopienne. Aster pousse le lourd portail gris et entre dans la petite cour ombragée qui jouxte une école. Du linge encore mouillé pend sur deux longues cordes attachées à une maison blanche. Cet après-midi, une dizaine de jeunes travailleuses du sexe ont trouvé refuge, comme elle, dans ce centre d'accueil et de prévention du Sida de l'ONG éthiopienne Ishdo : « Je viens ici pour prendre une douche, me soigner, et on ne me demande pas de payer en échange. Je suis ici tous les jours depuis cinq mois, et cet endroit est très important pour moi. Je me sens heureuse et en sécurité ici. » Depuis son ouverture en décembre 2024, ce centre d'accueil est ouvert 7 jours sur 7. Hiwot Mekonnen est l'infirmière en cheffe de la structure : « Nos patientes passent le test de dépistage du VIH. Nous leur proposons également des services de planification familiale, un dépistage des problèmes de santé mentale, des violences sexistes et un test du cancer du col de l'utérus. » Plusieurs fois par semaine, l'équipe médicale organise aussi des séances de prévention, dans une petite salle aux murs tapissés d'informations sur la contraception féminine. Des préservatifs sont également à leur disposition. L'arrêt des financements de l'Usaid, bailleur principal d'Onusida qui finance la structure, a frappé de plein fouet les activités du centre. « Ces deux derniers mois, nous n'avons pu organiser ni les séances de prévention, ni les tests, explique Hiwot Mekonnen. Et si les femmes continuent leur activité sans préservatifs, cela augmentera la transmission du VIH. La situation est instable, et j'ai beaucoup de doutes ». Ces dernières années pourtant, les efforts d'Onusida avaient porté leurs fruits : 94% des personnes diagnostiquées séropositives recevaient ici un traitement antirétroviral, dit ARV. Désormais, l'agence de l'ONU doit compter sur le mémorandum signé en décembre dernier entre les gouvernements éthiopien et américain, d'un montant d'1 milliard et demi de dollars.

It's Monday, January 5th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Muslims in Congo, Africa kill 15 The New Year began in chaos and mourning for residents of Katanga village in North Kivu, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, reports International Christian Concern. As families gathered to welcome 2026, armed Muslim fighters from the Allied Democratic Forces, or ADF, carried out a deadly nighttime incursion, killing at least 15 people on Thursday, January 1. Working with the global Islamic State movement, the ADF is among the most dangerous terrorist groups in Congo. Venezuelan dictator captured in daring U.S. raid Venezuelans are celebrating in the streets. (Audio of celebration) Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro was seized by the United States Army's secretive Delta Force unit in a daring raid on his heavily-secured compound, reports the Daily Mail. CBS News reported that the ultra-elite Delta Force unit was behind the capture of Maduro, and his wife Cilia, in the early hours of Saturday morning. The couple was seized from their bedroom in the dead of night by U.S. forces as they slept, according to CNN. The raid did not lead to any U.S. casualties. The pair was snatched by helicopter from Caracas after they had been monitored by CIA spies, with President Donald Trump giving the order to take them two days ago. President Trump says Maduro and his government have conspired to flood the United States with illegal drugs, and will now face trial in the U.S. on drugs and weapons trafficking charges. Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke at a Saturday press conference. RUBIO: “Nicolas Maduro had multiple opportunities to avoid this. He was provided multiple very, very, very generous offers, and chose instead to act like a wild man, chose instead to play around. “The 47th president of the United States is not a game player. When he tells you that he's going to do something, when he tells you he's going to address a problem, he means it. “The President doesn't go out looking for people to pick fights with. Generally, he wants to get along with everybody. We'll talk and meet with anybody. But don't play games. Don't play games while this President's in office, because it's not going to turn out well. I guess that lesson was learned last night, and we hope it will be instructive moving forward.” Biden's DOJ pressured FBI to raid Mar-a-Lago Newly-declassified documents show that President Joe Biden's Department of Justice pressured the FBI to conduct the infamous 2022 raid of then-former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home – even though the FBI repeatedly warned that such a raid was unwarranted, reports NewsBusters.org. In an X.com post last Tuesday, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, a Republican from Iowa, wrote, “FBI did not believe it had probable cause to raid Pres. Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, but Biden DOJ pushed for it anyway. Based on the records, Mar-a-Lago raid was a miscarriage of justice.” Grassley linked to the documents posted online, which detail communications between the DOJ and the FBI. Brent Bozell confirmed as U.S. Ambassador to South Africa Last Thursday, the U.S. Senate confirmed Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell as U.S. Ambassador to South Africa, despite obstructionist tactics by Democrats, reports CNSNews.com. By a 53-43 vote, the Senate approved Bozell to fill the post vacated by former ambassador Reuben Brigety, who resigned in January. BOZELL: “I will communicate our objections to South Africa's geo-strategic drift from non-alignment toward our competitors including Russia, China and Iran. “I'll press South Africa to end proceedings against Israel before the International Court of Justice. “Second, I will advance the President's invitation to Afrikaners who wish to flee unjust racial discrimination. “I will support the President's call for the South African government to rescind its support for the expropriation of private property without compensation.” Bozell served as president of the Media Research Center from its founding in 1987 until May of this year when he stepped down to be ambassador. His son, David Bozell, now leads the Media Research Center. Mom upset school secretly socially transitioned her daughter A mother in Maine, named Amber Lavigne, had her parental rights usurped by school officials when a guidance counselor secretly gave her gender-confused 13-year-old daughter a chest binder and referred to her by using a male name and pronouns. A chest binder is used to flatten the breasts of a trans-identified girl to help her pretend to be a boy. With the help of the Goldwater Institute, Lavigne is taking the school to the Supreme Court, reports The Christian Post. LAVIGNE: “I don't want to lose my daughter to the state, even as she grows into an adult, I'll always be her mom.” When she confronted her daughter about the chest binder in her bedroom, she learned that the school guidance counselor had provided it.  LAVIGNE: “This situation really is about my parental rights being violated, about a social worker who had never even had a conversation with me, encouraging my child to keep secrets from me, to tell her, ‘Look, I'm not going to tell your mom, and you don't have to either.' So, she's bringing these breast binders home and hiding them in her room on me. That's distressing!” Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them;  male and female He created them.” (Watch Amber Lavigne's 4-minute video.) Arkansas Governor in hot water for celebrating Christmas And finally, secularists and atheists alike were predictably furious with Arkansas Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders this past Christmas, reports LifeSiteNews.com. It's just not that they found her professed love for Jesus Christ problematic. It's that she used her position as governor to spread the truth that Jesus Christ is the Savior of Mankind. On December 16, Sanders issued a declaration recalling that “more than two millennia ago in the little town of Bethlehem, far from the centers of power in first-century Rome, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born in a humble manger.” Sanders added that “on that first Christmas, Christ's arrival was unassuming” and “not focused on the wealthy or powerful but rather on the poor, powerless, and meek.” Sanders then approved an extra day off for state employees on December 26 “in order that [they] may spend this holiday with their families giving thanks for Christ's birth.” The God-hating Freedom From Religion Foundation was livid. In a letter to Governor Sanders, attorney Chris Line said, “State offices are not churches, and gubernatorial proclamations are not sermons. The governor is free to practice her religion privately, but she may not use the authority of the state to promote Christian doctrine as official government speech.” Governor Sanders tweeted, “The Freedom from Religion Foundation took issue with me closing state offices to celebrate Christmas and sent a letter demanding I rescind my proclamation. Christmas is not just a holiday; it's the celebration of Jesus Christ's birth. Meaning matters, we won't pretend otherwise.” Matthew 1:20-21 says, “What is conceived in Mary is from the Holy Spirit.  She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, January 5th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

L'Afrique du Sud a expulsé sept Kenyans employés par les États-Unis dans le cadre de leur programme d'accueil de la minorité blanche des Afrikaners. Et, ça ne risque pas d'arranger la relation déjà tendue entre Pretoria et Washington. Le journal kenyan Daily Nation revient sur ce contexte particulièrement électrique : « L'administration du président Donald Trump ambitionne d'accueillir des milliers de Sud-Africains blancs aux États-Unis dans le cadre d'un programme de réinstallation lancé cette année, en se fondant sur des allégations de persécution raciale. » Des allégations que réfute totalement l'Afrique du Sud. « Sur cette base, l'administration Trump a mis en place un programme offrant à certains Afrikaners un traitement prioritaire pour obtenir le statut de réfugié aux États‑Unis, comme en mai 2025 lorsqu'un premier groupe a été accueilli avec accompagnement pour leur insertion », commente la Nouvelle Tribune. Les sept Kényans expulsés étaient entrés dans le pays avec des visas de tourisme et avaient illégalement commencé à travailler, alors que des demandes précédentes de visas de travail leur avaient été refusées. Daily Nation analyse : « Durant son second mandat, Trump a proféré à plusieurs reprises de fausses accusations concernant le traitement réservé par l'Afrique du Sud à sa minorité blanche, s'en servant pour réduire l'aide au pays et exclure l'Afrique du Sud des réunions du G20. » Washington n'a en tout cas pas manqué de réagir aux expulsions : « Le département d'État américain a accusé Pretoria d'entraver ses opérations liées à l'accueil de réfugiés, qualifiant la situation d'inacceptable. De son côté, le gouvernement sud-africain affirme avoir engagé des démarches diplomatiques formelles avec les États-Unis et le Kenya afin de désamorcer le différend », conclut la Nouvelle Tribune. Au Kenya, 18 personnes prises au piège dans la guerre en Ukraine rapatriées Dix-huit personnes prises au piège dans la guerre en Ukraine ont été rapatriées dans le pays, révèle Daily Nation au Kenya. Le journal explique que ces 18 hommes ont été rapatriés de Russie, « certains souffrant de blessures graves ». Plus tôt dans la semaine, on a également appris qu'au moins 82 Kényans auraient été enrôlés de force aux côtés de l'armée russe dans la guerre en Ukraine. « La plupart, dépourvus de toute formation militaire, n'avaient jamais tenu une arme de leur vie avant d'être enrôlés. Après une formation express de cinq jours dans des camps d'entraînement, ils ont été envoyés sur la ligne de front », explique Le Monde Afrique. L'un des volontaires abusés, qui témoigne auprès de Daily Nation, raconte que « plusieurs agences de recrutement auraient trompé des candidats à l'immigration, leur faisant miroiter de faux emplois aux rémunérations alléchantes dans la transformation, l'emballage et le nettoyage de viande », tout en assurant prendre en charge les frais de transport, les examens médicaux et le logement sur place. Et « le Kenya n'est pas le seul pays africain de recrutement, explique le Monde Afrique. Les autorités ukrainiennes estiment que plus de 1 400 soldats du continent, issus de 36 pays, combattraient aux côtés de l'armée russe. La plupart sous la contrainte. » L'Afrique subsaharienne, par ailleurs, « constitue un vivier de recrutement vaste et facilement accessible en raison de taux de pauvreté élevés dans la plupart des pays de la zone » et de l'« important désir d'émigration », d'après l'Institut français des relations internationales (Ifri) dans une étude ce jeudi. Froid glacial, pluies diluviennes et fortes chutes de neige au Maroc « Le Maroc fait face à un épisode hivernal d'une rare intensité », commente Afrik.com. Mardi, les autorités ont annoncé le déploiement d'une aide d'urgence nationale. Objectif : venir en aide à des dizaines de milliers de familles. La province côtière de Safi est particulièrement touchée, raconte le média, des crues soudaines y ayant causé la mort de 37 personnes dimanche. « ​Safi panse ses plaies en quatre heures grâce à un élan de solidarité inédit, écrit notamment le journal marocain l'Opinion. Boulangers, pêcheurs, commerçants du port et professionnels de la pêche côtière se sont unis dans une collecte exceptionnelle, peut-on lire. Ce mouvement collectif, nourri par l'attachement profond à une ville meurtrie, illustre une capacité éprouvée à faire face à l'adversité (…) portée par la détermination et la cohésion de ses habitants », raconte le journal. Plus globalement, le Maroc connaît une variabilité climatique accrue, marquée par l'alternance entre sécheresses prolongées et épisodes pluvieux violents. Sans surprise, « l'intensification de ces phénomènes est liée au réchauffement climatique, qui modifie les régimes de précipitations et accentue les contrastes de température », souligne Afrik.com.

The US is prioritising asylum applications from white farmers in South Africa where it says there's a 'genocide' against them, despite the claims being widely discredited. A BBC Africa Eye team spoke to some white Afrikaner farmers and black farmers to gain insight about the situation. Also, a conversation on vaginal wellness.

Donald Trump's fixation on South Africa's white Afrikaner minority has become a central plank of US refugee policy, with their applications now given priority under a new refugee system.This preoccupation by some Americans with white Afrikaners has a long history dating back to the publication of a large sociological study focusing on poor white Afrikaners in the 1930s.In this episode, we speak to Carolyn Holmes, an assistant professor of political science at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, to trace the history of the links between white nationalists in the US and South Africa.This episode was produced by Gemma Ware, Mend Mariwany and Katie Flood.

Sir Bartle Frere had sailed into South Africa in March 1877 - lauded as a great British administrator in India. He arrived just in time to witness Sir Theophilus Shepstone seize, sorry, annex the Transvaal under the noses of the incredulous and in equal amounts, contemptuous Boers. Frere was another of Carnarvon's boys, determined to enforce confederation onto south Africa. He was regarded as one of the most effective English civil servants in India, keeping the vital province of Sind quiet during the recent Indian Mutiny, and as Governor of Bombay, now Mumbai, he had been instrumental in upgrading the vast city's infrastructure. He was by accounts, a man of integrity and quiet, diffident even as Frank Walsh puts it. The British Royal Family were friends, he was a member of the Privy Council and was showered with honours. India was compared to South Africa, it was diverse, more populous yes, but in India he dealt with sophisticated Indian Rulers and merchants. Carnarvon regarded Sir Bartle Frere as the ideal man to settle the quarrelsome and individualistic South African communities. But he was Indian in his experience, and not African. By contrast to the sophisticated Indian Rulers, South Africans were and are uncomplicated and pugnacious. All its people were the same then as we are now. Whatever our backgrounds, we remain pugnacious Africans, English, Afrikaners, Blacks, Coloureds, Indians and tick whatever box suits you on form XYZ. It would take only a few years trying to govern the ungovernable before he disintegrated in delusion, self-deception, irrationality and apparent senility. Frere had barely settled into his governor's armchair to read Shepstone's report into the latest challenges in the Transvaal — when the Ninth Frontier War burst into flame in the Eastern Cape.The amaMfengu had taken rapidly to the opportunities afforded by being part of the Cape Colony, and were also taking to urban trade in a revolutionary way. The Gcaleka resented the success of the amaMfengu, as well as their relationship with settlers. The Gcaleka were suffering the effects of the last war, the longest Frontier War and also the most vicious. Across the Kei, alcoholism was spreading, and poverty seeped through every household — made far worse by the actions of Nongqawuse's cattle killing episode. What pushed everyone over the edge was mother nature, a series of devastating droughts across the Transkei destabilised the situation further. As Historian De Kiewiet says, in South Africa the heat of drought easily becomes the fever of war. What was supposed to be a wedding celebration in September 1877 turned into a bar fight when the tensions emerged after Gcaleka harassed the amMfengu in attendance. Things got a lot worse later that day when some Gcaleka men attacked a Cape Colony police outpost manned by amaMfengu in the main. Just a bit of trival violence said local officials, moving along, let the local police handle the matter. But back in Cape Town, Sir Bartle Frere sensed his moment partly because of his belief that Great Britain was spreading civilisation and eradicating barbarians, extending black rule over blacks, you know old chap, guiding them up the ladder of evolution and improving their standards of living through good administration and economic prosperity. Chief Mgolombane Sarhili kaHintsa of the amaGcaleka royal line was summoned by Frere but he had seen his ancestors summoned only to be thrown onto Robin Island. He ignored the summons so Sir Bartle promptly declared war on the amaXhosa. This was totally against the advice of the locals. All that Frere's warning did is prompt the warriors among his people to gather and mobilise. Cape Prime Minister, John Molteno refused to sanction any invasion of the Transkei when he heard that Frere had declared war on Sarhili. At a meeting between Molteno and Frere, the British Governor promised that imperial troops would stay put and not cross into Gcalekaland.

Afrikaner activist and Executive Director of Lex Libertas, Ernst Roets, gives his firsthand account of the brutal genocide being waged against white farmers in South Africa. Roets says South Africa's government is complicit in land confiscations and this genocide, so Afrikaners have had to take matters into their own hands. Is there a future for whites in South Africa? Is America headed for a similar fate?

You may have heard that the U.S. gained 59 new residents last month from South Africa - and that more came this past weekend. They're all white Afrikaners: a white minority group descended from European colonists. Trump has given some of these white Afrikaners refugee status because he claims a "white genocide" is happening against them in South Africa. This claim is untrue. So where is it coming from? And why might this claim be politically expedient for the Trump administration? And what parallels can we see between some of the white Afrikaners and the American right? Brittany sits down with South African journalist Kate Bartlett and Sean Jacobs, professor of international affairs at the New School to get into it.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
