El mundo del e-commerce está repleto de oportunidades, pero algunas requieren un enfoque menos tradicional y una mentalidad dispuesta a desafiar las reglas del juego. Los llamados nichos Black son un terreno poco explorado por la mayoría de los emprendedores, no por falta de rentabilidad, sino por los obstáculos que presentan. Para Faiders Altamar, mentor en negocios digitales y experto en técnicas Black Hack, esto no es una desventaja, sino una oportunidad para quienes estén dispuestos a asumir riesgos. "Es un mercado que muy pocas personas se atreven a tocar porque no les gusta lidiar con los bloqueos en las redes sociales ni en ningún tipo de cuenta, pero la contraparte de eso son los resultados", destaca. Más allá del desafío de los bloqueos, estos nichos tienen ventajas que pueden marcar una diferencia significativa en la rentabilidad de una campaña. Una de ellas es el menor costo de publicidad en comparación con mercados más convencionales. "Los costos de pauta son mucho más bajos y, si eres agresivo y creativo, vas a generar unos costos de venta un poco más económicos que el resto, pero tienes que estar preparado para los baneos", advierte Altamar. Para operar en este tipo de mercados, no basta con una única estrategia. Es fundamental contar con una estructura flexible que permita continuar la operación sin interrupciones. "Ante los baneos, el juego es tener muchas cuentas publicitarias y métodos de pago para que, en caso de que haya un bloqueo, no se caiga la operación", asegura nuestro invitado. Además, sostiene que confiar en una sola fuente de datos puede limitar las oportunidades de optimización. "Cuando pones un anuncio y lo copias en otra cuenta publicitaria los resultados no son iguales, y muchas veces los anunciantes se quedan con una sola verdad que dice una cuenta publicitaria. Si genero publicidad con varias cuentas, puedo descubrir costos de resultado más económicos", recalca. La tecnología juega un papel clave en este modelo de negocio. Automatizar procesos y escalar la operación son estrategias esenciales para mantenerse competitivo. "Soy programador y autodidacta y he hecho herramientas para hacer cuentas de Facebook. Entonces puedo hacer en un día más de 2 mil cuentas de Facebook, cuyos perfiles son igual a cuentas publicitarias", comenta Altamar, destacando cómo la automatización puede convertirse en una ventaja en estos mercados. Pese a la percepción de riesgo, la competencia en estos nichos es sorprendentemente baja. La mayoría de los anunciantes prefieren proteger la estabilidad de sus cuentas en lugar de asumir una estrategia más agresiva. "La gente teme por los bloqueos y prefiere conservar la antigüedad de sus cuentas. Yo le meto a fondo y que se caiga esa cuenta lo más rápido que sea, pero que me dé altos resultados. Siempre voy metiendo nuevas cuentas a la operación", afirma. Facebook, a pesar de sus estrictas normas publicitarias, tiene puntos ciegos que pueden aprovecharse con una estrategia de comunicación inteligente. "Facebook no entiende el doble sentido. Te puede banear ciertas palabras, pero si usamos términos locales podemos vender esos productos, la gente va a entender, pero no Facebook, y así evitamos el bloqueo", aconseja Altamar. Sin embargo, más allá de las estrategias técnicas, la clave sigue siendo conocer al consumidor y entender qué lo motiva a comprar. "Cuando quiero vender un producto me gusta conocer su mercado. No busco productos en tendencia porque muchas veces son de temporada. Como vendedores tenemos que trabajar en habilidades como esta e identificar qué le gusta a tu cliente y cuáles son las barreras de entrada para los consumidores, como el precio, alguna condición médica, la presentación, el mecanismo del producto, los efectos secundarios, etc.", opina nuestro especialista. Si bien la alta rentabilidad de estos nichos es innegable, no están exentos de riesgos. La clave está en encontrar el balance entre la optimización de costos y la sostenibilidad de la operación. "Si logras no tener tantas pérdidas por devoluciones o cancelaciones, puedes generar un buen retorno y ser rentable", concluye. En definitiva, los nichos Black representan una oportunidad para quienes saben cómo jugar en este terreno y están dispuestos a desafiar los límites tradicionales del marketing digital.

Este episodio es sobre las olas del mar, ¿qué son, cómo se forman, por qué truenan, por qué suenan, qué efectos tienen en la costa? Además, por qué en algunos lugares hay olas chiquitas y en otros grandotas, y por qué existen paraísos del surf. Obvio también hablaremos de las más grandes olas, o sea los tsunamis, que son diferentes a las demás no sólo por su tamaño.

Cinq jours après avoir officiellement prêté serment, le Conseil présidentiel de transition doit voter ce mardi 30 avril 2024 pour élire son président. L'élection se déroule en présence des représentants des parties prenantes de l'accord politique ayant permis la mise en place de ce conseil de transition. On en parle avec le directeur de l'agence Alterpresse, Gotson Pierre. « L'élection de ce président est attendue et importante, souligne Gotson Pierre, même s'il n'aura qu'un rôle de coordinateur. » Malgré la promesse du conseil de « jouer la carte de la transparence », les Haïtiens n'ont pas manqué de manifester leur inquiétude sur les réseaux sociaux, fait remarquer notre confrère.La Conférence des Pasteurs Haïtiens (COPAH) estime quant à elle que « le conseil aura à faire ses preuves, et ses membres devront résister à toute tentation et agir pour stopper la descente aux enfers d'Haïti », rapporte Gotson Pierre. Un article à lire sur Alterpresse. Un chef de gang filmé par un média américainGazette Haïti se fait le relais d'un reportage diffusé sur le site web de CNN. Le média américain a rencontré Vitel'homme Innocent, le chef du gang « Kraze Baryé », l'un des groupes armés alliés qui ont plongé Haïti dans l'anarchie.L'intégralité de l'entrevue entre le journaliste américain et le chef du gang est à lire sur Gazette Haïti. Dans son article, CNN publie la photo de l'avis de recherche de Vitel'homme Innocent. « Elle laisse apparaître l'image d'un homme frénétique, mais en personne, il projette une image différente, celle d'un homme puissant, entouré de disciples armés », affirme le journaliste de CNN.Vitel'homme Innocent est pourtant un chef de gang qui collectionne les avis de recherche. D'abord par la police nationale haïtienne, pour enlèvement contre rançon, meurtre, viol, vol et destruction de biens, mais aussi par le FBI, le service de renseignement américain, qui a mis sa tête au prix de 2 millions de dollars. Il a aussi été sanctionné par les Nations unies pour de nombreuses violations des droits de l'homme commises par son gang, « Kraze Baryé ». L'Équateur et le Mexique devant les tribunauxLa Cour Internationale de Justice commence aujourd'hui son examen de la plainte déposée par le Mexique contre l'Équateur après l'intrusion de policiers équatoriens dans l'ambassade mexicaine à Quito. Mexico demande à la Cour Internationale de Justice de suspendre l'Équateur tant que le pays n'aura pas présenté des excuses publiques. Pour le journal mexicain La Jornada, la faute revient entièrement au président équatorien. « Le déclin de l'Équateur s'est accéléré de manière alarmante depuis l'arrivée au pouvoir de Daniel Noboa l'année dernière », fustige le journal dans son éditorial. Un déclin que la Jornada attribue à « la servilité rampante du chef d'État à l'égard des États-Unis ». Le journal voit dans l'invasion de l'ambassade mexicaine « une démonstration de force par quelqu'un d'impuissant face aux factions criminelles, peut-on lire, et qui se soumet honteusement au bourreau historique de l'Amérique latine. »Mais l'Équateur a aussi déposé une plainte, accusant le Mexique d'avoir protégé Jorge Glas, l'ancien président équatorien condamné à 8 ans de prison, et empêché son incarcération. Et la Hora s'en félicite : le journal donne la parole à un ex-ambassadeur. Celui-ci considère que « cette plainte est une très bonne chose, car l'Équateur a également des choses à dire sur l'attitude du Mexique. » Selon le diplomate cité par la Hora, le Mexique aurait « inventé un terme qui n'existe pas en droit international pour accueillir Jorge Glas en tant qu'invité.» Une affaire qui risque de traîner sur plusieurs années, croit savoir El Universal. Le Journal de la 1ère revient sur la campagne sucrière 2024 en Guadeloupe, qui semble faire du surplace. Morceau musical : Altamar, issu du premier album de la chanteuse franco-chilienne Gatica.

In a rapidly changing geopolitical environment, alliances are changing fast. The US, Russia, and China are using their influence to rally support from previously neutral countries. Increasingly, nations -- especially developing nations -- are forced to pick a side. Is non-alignment possible in an increasingly polarized world? Who are the fence sitters, and how long can they hedge their bets? The Altamar hosts are joined by Matias Spektor, founder and professor at the School of International Relations at Fundacao Getulio Vargas. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines the history of the Non-Aligned Movement.   ----- Produced by Simpler Media

Several years into Brexit, the country has not found its footing politically, economically, and in its very soul. The UK is working to rebuild relationships with Europe while dealing with renewed calls for independence from Scotland and Northern Ireland. The economy has fared better than expected, even though inflation has resulted in a deep cost-of-living crisis. Rising economic inequality and anti-immigration sentiments add to the uncertainty. The Altamar hosts are joined by Jon Sopel, former award-winning BBC journalist and television personality. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines unfavorable youth views on the monarchy and economy.    ----- Produced by Simpler Media

Moscow's invasion of Ukraine eroded the concept of neutrality as an effective policy in a polarized world. That's especially true for countries in close geographic proximity to Russia. Recently, Finland joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, ending 100 years of neutrality. With 830 miles of border between Russia and Finland, NATO's newest addition changes the strategic balance in Europe. These major geopolitical shifts are likely to outlast the actual Russian invasion of Ukraine. What does that mean for the global world order? The Altamar hosts are joined by Mika Sinuhe Wallinheimo, Finnish Member of Parliament since 2011. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines the increasingly conservative youth vote in Finland and Sweden.   ----- Produced by Simpler Media

These days, Mexico is one contradiction after another. For example, President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador – or AMLO, as he is called – declared a rhetorical war on the private sector, yet the economy is holding on pretty well – at least for now. On the tourism front, it's one of the world's booming tourist destinations, despite travel advisories warning of drugs and crime at popular destinations. And on trade, the government is on a protectionist streak, yet the North American Free Trade Agreement was renegotiated. What's really going on in Mexico? The Altamar hosts are joined by Jorge Guajardo, former Mexican diplomat and global savant. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines issues at the border between the US and Mexico.   ----- Produced by Simpler Media

COVID-19 turned many workplaces and schools into virtual or hybrid environments. Artificial intelligence has become part of daily life with new products such as Chat GPT. The UK just had a hugely successful 4-day workweek trial. With all of these new developments, what is the future of work? But not every industry or every country will transform in the same way. We discuss what skills are needed, where and how we work, who will be the winners and losers, and, of course, how much of the world will actually change at all. Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Dany Bahar, an associate professor at Brown University and nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

Nigeria's presidential vote constituted one of the most closely watched and significant elections of the year. One of the world's top oil producers, Nigeria has suffered political and economic upheaval since its independence from the UK in 1960. In lead up to this election, young people were galvanized, and many hoped for change. But then, the election was defined by a small margin, low turnout, and rampant corruption. There were widespread accounts of voter irregularities, sporadic violence at polling stations, disorderly delays, and other logistical issues. Why doesn't the enthusiasm for change actually bring change to Nigeria?  Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Ayisha Osori, a Nigerian lawyer, international development consultant, and politician. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines the rise of Nigeria's galvanized youth.    ----- Produced by Simpler Media

Country rankings – whether it's about the economy, democracy, or environmental standards – are important for a country's reputation. The Economist produces its annual Economic Rankings, which look at several economic factors to assess economic stability. Since COVID, the process of “measuring” countries has been turned upside down. The 2022 Economist Economic Ranking is a good example of the confusion. In the ranking, Turkey, on the verge of dictatorship and with sky-high inflation, ranks well above the US. Colombia was higher than Denmark. And Greece was the #1 economically successful country in the world. What determines these rankings at a time of deep economic uncertainties?  Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Callum Williams, senior economics writer at The Economist. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines Greece's rise in several other rankings.    ----- Produced by Simpler Media

OSINT is the gathering and analysis of publicly available data from unlimited and all-encompassing sources. This new tool is shaping the frontlines of war, terror, and other geopolitical threats. Open Source Intelligence is a tool, and like any tool, its purpose and morality depend on how it's used. Analysts use open sources to find illegal activity and identify threats. Bad actors use it to plan and target networks through hacking and cyberterrorism. Ukraine has used geo-location from Russian soldiers sending pictures back home to figure out the location of Russian troops.  Companies benefit from it in employee screening, research, and analytics. OSINT is changing the nature of geopolitical threats – and the defense against them. How will this powerful tool be used next?   Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Arthur Bradley, Senior OSINT Analyst at Tech Against Terrorism. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines how open sources have changed the way we all consume news.    ----- Produced by Simpler Media

La ONU encara este lunes la recta final de las negociaciones para dar a luz un tratado de protección del 60% de los océanos, específicamente la zona de altamar que no pertenece a ningún país. Entre las medidas, se busca un consenso internacional para proteger la biodiversidad de estas zonas, evitando la sobrepesca. Los países de la ONU llevan casi 15 años negociando un tratado internacional para proteger la altamar, esta zona ubicada más allá de las aguas territoriales de cada país. Una área que abarca más del 60% de los océanos con ecosistemas que sufren de varias amenazas. El abogado Diego Lillo, de la Asociación Interamericana para la Defensa del Ambiente (AIDA) explicó a RFI en español cuál es el marco de los objetivos de la tercera ronda de negociaciones en la ONU: "Además de los grandes problemas de contaminación en las aguas internacionales, los grandes problemas son la sobrepesca y sobreexplotación de los recursos naturales. Tambien la regulación que va a conducir a la explotación minera de los fondos marinos". La nueva ronda de negociaciones podría llevar a un acuerdo con 3 grandes principios: un reparto justo entre países ricos y pobres de la riqueza marina identificada por las empresas farmacéuticas, por ejemplo, reglas comunes sobre la evaluación del impacto ambiental. Y lo más importante: la creación de áreas marinas protegidas que de momento conciernen principalmente las aguas nacionales. Maximiliano Bello de la ONG de protección marina Mission Blue le habló a RFI en español de varios buenos ejemplos latinoamericanos: "América Latina es el continente que va a la cabeza de la creación de areas marinas protegidas. Chile tiene un 43% de esas areas resguardadas, Ecuador un 15%, Panamá 30% mientras que Brasil se acerca a ese último nivel mientras que Colombia ya lo superó. Lamentablemente -agrega- otros países como Perú o Uruguay están aun muy lejos de esa meta: ni siquiera han alcanzado el 10% prometido hace un par de años." El futuro tratado podría ser una etapa clave para garantizar el objetivo internacional de proteger el 30% total de las tierras y los océanos de aquí a 2030 y así evitar el gravísimo declive de la biodiversidad. Cuando hablamos del mar, "es importante trabajar multilateralmente porque no basta que un país proteja los ecosistemas si el vecino no lo hace" al mismo tiempo, concluye Bello.

Biodiversity is crucial for our planet's food security, climate resilience, supply chains, and our economy. Half of global GDP relies on nature. Governments are scrambling to create policies on conservation – is it too little too late?  Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, including the variety of species, ecosystems, and genetic diversity. It has growing economic value as most industries rely on healthy ecosystems. Companies are paying closer attention to biodiversity and environmental, social, and governance initiatives have become mainstream. After decades of inaction, international agreements and regulations are slowly becoming building blocks to a more sustainable world. Will this slow building of a protective wall suffice? Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Collin O'Mara, CEO of the National Wildlife Federation. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines strategies to unlock financing for conservation and nature-based solutions. 

News around the world centered on the violent protests in Brazil by those who rejected election results and sought to overthrow the government following the presidential transition (sound familiar?). The riots were – at best – a collapse of military preparedness or – at worst – included the help and connivance of the military and business elites. How stable is Brazil? Will another shoe drop?  Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Ricardo Sennes, a political analyst and Brazil expert. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines how the Brazilian insurrection is yet more proof of the failure to regulate social media.     ----- Produced by Simpler Media

2022 put energy in the headlines nearly every day. The list of interlocking energy issues is huge: Europe's spiraling prices and gas shortages, the war in Ukraine and the cutoff of Russia's oil and gas from world markets, canceling Nordstream 2, the rift between the US and the Saudis, COP 27 and the green energy transition to renewables are only a few of the issues that will spill over into this new year. – to name just a few.  Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by David Goldwyn, a globally recognized thought leader, educator, and policy innovator in energy security.

The big issues of our time transcend borders, countries, and geographies. This past year, power has become more diffuse.  Many leading western countries are stifled by crises and polarization.  New players are asserting themselves, taking a slice of the power pie. We identified eight macrotrends: shifting demographics, economic uncertainty, China's stagnation, the green energy transition, the uncertain future of tech, the rise of Africa, ‘everything-washing,' and women's rights. What's Tom Friedman's list? What do you think of our list? What did we miss?  Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Tom Friedman, internationally renowned author, reporter, and NYT columnist.

As the first championship in the Middle East, the Qatar World Cup is both historic and controversial.

Israel's longest-serving Prime Minister – Benjamin ‘Bibi' Netanyahu – is back with a new strategy. This time, Bibi aligned himself with hard-right extremist parties to clinch a victory in a narrow election. His new allies are the ultra-nationalist Religious Zionist Party, who have expressed racist and homophobic propaganda. Will this new coalition add even more instability to this historically tumultuous region?

There was a lot at stake in the American midterm elections. The loss of the House will greatly impact Biden's ability to accomplish his agenda in his last two years as president. But, Republicans did not win nearly as big as expected. The red wave was a fizzle. Democrats held on in important races and some unexpected upsets that led to doubts about Trump's capacity to endorse candidates.

The Brazilian presidential election was a bickering, contentious and rancorous race between two opposing views of Brazil. Lula and Bolsonaro have dominated the country's political story for over a decade, one a veteran politician with allegations of corruption, both beloved and criticized.  The other an autocratic, right-wing populist with little regard for institutions. After a brutal and dirty campaign, leftist leader Lula emerged as the winner by a narrow margin. Will Bolsonaro respect the results? And what does this election mean for Brazil?   Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Lourival Sant'Anna, a Senior Fellow at the Brazilian Center of International Relations (CEBRI) and a journalist and International Affairs Analyst at CNN Brazil.

Shifting realities following Russia's invasion have put Berlin in a tough position. Germany's long history of trade and business with Russia has placed it deep into the crossfires of this conflict.

How is Germany's relatively new Chancellor handling these new dynamic threats? How will Russia's war change Germany? And what's next for Europe?

Giorgia Meloni will be Italy's first woman leader and first rightwing Prime Minister since WWII. The rise of the Brothers of Italy party is a case study in the continued prominence of culture war politics and the implosion of centrist parties. Just how radical will Meloni's government be?   The country progressing under the steady, technocratic and respected leadership of Mario Draghi has just done a shocking U-turn. Italy just elected a coalition under the leadership of the far-right Brothers of Italy party. Giorgia Meloni will be the next Prime Minister of the Italian Republic, its first woman leader, and the first rightwing Prime Minister since WWII. While campaigning, she positioned herself as more moderate, backed away from the party's neo-fascist roots. Meloni made anti-LGBTQ, anti-immigrant and anti-US comments, but has since moderated her tone to attract younger voters. She has also been a steadfast supporter of Ukraine and regularly criticizes Putin. However, other members of the incoming ruling coalition are vociferously pro-Putin. What will be the direction of the new Italian government? Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Erik Jones, Director of the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies at the European University Institute. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines youth apathy and low voter turnout.    

Immigration seems unsolvable in the United States. The number of immigrants crossing the border has been spiking since at least 2013, haunting several presidents. The Trump administration was criticized for being inhumane. The Biden administration took a friendlier stance, but border traffic has increased exponentially. To make a political point and burnish their right-wing credentials, the Republican governors of Texas and Arizona (and now Florida) are sending tens of thousands of migrants to cities such as Washington, DC, and New York. Beyond the political stunt, border states are overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of incoming migrants. How does this issue get solved?  Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Andrew Selee, president of the Migration Policy Institute. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines the political fight around immigration in the United States.     ----- Produced by Simpler Media

No tienen idea, pero de verdad no tienen idea lo que están viviendo los verdaderamente millonarios con el mar.

Western nations are struggling to cope with the onslaught of international and national crises from climate to a tide of authoritarianism. Developing countries have an even harder time as they face greater inequality with fewer resources to help their citizens. Government and international bodies have been unable to find lasting solutions to the economic, social, and political tensions. It's time for bold ideas and strategic action. Lord Mark Malloch Brown, former UN deputy secretary general and UK government minister, thinks that the world needs a new Marshall Plan. Is an old success story a template for renewed action?  Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Mark Malloch-Brown, president of the Open Society Foundations. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines public support for a large-scale global program.    ----- Produced by Simpler Media

The emergence of Monkeypox stress-tested the lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic – and, again, the world is failing the challenge. Health institutions seem unprepared to deal with this new health scare, especially one that targets a stigmatized minority and involves complicated national security issues around vaccine stockpiles. As a result, information from health authorities around the world is uneven, and the responsibility has fallen largely on the global media to report on spread, vaccine availability, and access to care. As public health officials predict more pandemics in the future, is there a pathway to a more efficient international response?  Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Nurith Aizenman, NPR's correspondent for Global Health and Development. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines the stigmatization of the LGBTQ+ community during the initial HIV/AIDS panic.    ----- Produced by Simpler Media

In 1947, free from British control, India and Pakistan split based on religious majorities – Hindu and Muslim. Soon thereafter, the two countries went to war over control of the Jammu and Kashmir provinces. Since then, the conflict escalated into confrontations on multiple fronts, with global implications. After all, both countries are nuclear powers. What is on the horizon with shifting global alliances (think: the US and China)? After Ukraine and Taiwan, is this region the world's third tripwire?     Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Shamila Chaudhary, Nonresident Senior Fellow at the South Asia Center at the Atlantic Council. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines young militants in the Kashmir region.    ----- Produced by Simpler Media

The term “free trade” has fallen out of favor in recent years. Trade disputes, economic uncertainty, and a growing income gap have stoked a global protectionist fire. Nationalist parties across the world have flourished on a trade-unfriendly agenda. Latin American leaders run campaigns on “renegotiating” trade agreements. The Trump Administration's loud anti-trade agenda, which led to the US leaving the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and an average 25% tariff on goods produced in China have proven difficult to reverse. What will the world look like with an increasingly protectionist agenda?  Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Chad Bown, Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines the increase in child labor around the world for the first time in 20 years.   ----- Produced by Simpler Media

By 2050, Africa's population will double; by 2100, one of three people on the globe will be African. While it's hard to generalize in a continent so diverse, Africa has seen a lot of progress over the past twenty years. Economic growth and manufacturing expanded. Infrastructure was built. Social services such as education and healthcare improved. Millions were pulled out of poverty in countries like Kenya and Tanzania in the East and Nigeria and Ivory Coast in the West. However, new threats such as COVID-19 and soaring food prices because of the Russia-Ukraine War could be a new tipping point for millions on the brink of extreme poverty. Millions of Africans predict that the future will be worse than the present, opening the door to instability and violence. What is the outlook for this gigantic and complex continent? Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Dr. Jakkie Cilliers, a well-known Africa analyst and founder of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS). Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines the youth brain drain across the continent.  ISS recently published integrated forecasts of Africa's development prospects and potential; found here- futures.issafrica.org.   ----- Produced by Simpler Media

This is the first time that the left will rule in this democracy of 50 million historically conservative people, who have now expressed a deep desire for change. Gustavo Petro, a controversial former guerrilla, congressman, and Mayor, beat a rich and eccentric populist who ran from the right. Petro promises a radical transformation of Colombia's economic model. Can he deliver?  Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Miguel Silva, advisor, author, lawyer, and former Secretary-General of the Presidency in Colombia. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines the overwhelming youth support for Petro.    ----- Produced by Simpler Media

This Summit of the Americas only served to underscore the fractures on the continent. Instead of resetting its relations with Latin American countries, the US seemed further apart than ever from the continent.  The hotly debated RSVP list left out some major players, such as Mexico's President Lopez Obrador. With countries facing such different internal and external challenges, what is next for the hemisphere?  Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Luis Alberto Moreno, former President of the Interamerican Development Bank and the author of recent book Vamos. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic reminds us that on social issues such as abortion rights and legalization of marijuana, Latin America is far more progressive than today's political debate in the United States.     ----- Produced by Simpler Media

Global food insecurity was already an issue. Years of heightened climate change cut global production by about 20%. Then, a war happened. Russia and Ukraine together normally account for almost a third of the global production of wheat and are the main providers of barley, sunflowers, and maize. Human Rights Watch has warned that many countries have seen disruptions in their imports of wheat, but also fertilizer, vegetable oils, and other key commodities. Let's add to that the rising cost of fuel to transport the food. According to the World Food Program, as a result of the expounding crises, global hunger may increase to up to 20%.  Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined Jack Nicas, the Brazil bureau chief for The New York Times. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic delves into Russia's invasion of Ukraine exacerbating food shortages.    ----- Produced by Simpler Media

As Russia escalates its merciless attack on Ukraine, there is much talk of a newly reunited West taking a collective position and presenting a strong front against Putin. But is consensus real?  All over the world, we are seeing large percentages of voters embracing a populist candidate with autocratic tendencies. From Marine Le Pen in France, Duterte in the Philippines, and even the lingering political presence of Trump in the United States. Has democracy lost its appeal among voters? Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Moisés Naim, a globally syndicated columnist and author of the recent book The Revenge of Power. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic delves into youth civic participation around the world.     ----- Produced by Simpler Media
