No dia 11 de Novembro de 1975 foi proclamada a independência de Angola por Agostinho Neto, do MPLA, por Holden Roberto, da FNLA, e por Jonas Savimbi, da UNITA. Nesse mesmo dia começava a guerra civilSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
50 anos depois da independência, Angola é muito mais do que a herança da história que partilha com Portugal. A Alice Vilaça conversou com 2 portugueses que conhecem bem Angola: a Ana Clarisse e o Ivo Campos.
Há 50 anos, Agostinho Neto proclamou a independência de Angola. À DW, analistas consideram que o país continuará com os meus problemas e com mais custos. Em Moçambique, os professores ameaçam boicotar os exames finais do ensino público, se o Governo não pagar as horas extraordinárias dos últimos 3 anos. Fique a saber como o Gana está a reduzir a sua pegada de carbono com soluções indígenas.
Dez mil convidados e 45 delegações estrangeiras assistiram hoje, em Luanda, ao ato central das comemorações do 50.º aniversário da independência de Angola. Manifestação de jovens contestatários reprimida pela polícia angolana. Moçambique registou poucos progressos na prevenção da tortura e de maus-tratos nas cadeias nos últimos dez anos.
Leanna Byrne looks at signs that the United States may finally be nearing an end to its record-breaking forty-day government shutdown. The Senate has voted to advance a bill to pay federal workers and reopen parts of the government but it still needs approval from the House. Also, two of Africa's biggest diamond producers Botswana and Angola, are in talks to take control of De Beers, the world's most famous diamond company. And in Japan, a surge in bear attacks prompting the government to roll out emergency measures and forcing companies, farmers, and local authorities to spend millions on safety precautions.

Esta semana, as autoridades belgas avaliaram o avistamento de vários drones a sobrevoar o seu território como uma séria ameaça, provavelmente russa, à segurança nacional e europeia. Fizeram o alarme soar em Bruxelas e as discussões sobre defesa continuam no Parlamento. Neste “Leste Oeste”, Nuno Rogeiro destaca a criação do Comissário Europeu da Defesa, que a seu ver tardou a chegar, como “revolução institucional” e debate a urgência de modernizar as Forças Armadas portuguesas, incluindo a substituição dos F-16 por F-35. Uma estratégia que segundo o comentador pode funcionar a par com a cooperação UE-NATO, a necessidade de um “Schengen militar” e a aposta em tecnologia de ponta.

Rattling the Bars's Mansa Musa explores how a one-woman play, The Peculiar Patriot, reveals the human cost of mass incarceration and the enduring ties between slavery and the prison system. The artist behind the play, Liza Jessie Peterson, has worked with incarcerated youth for decades, bringing their stories to the stage and to national audiences. Performed in more than 35 US prisons and filmed at Louisiana's Angola Prison—once a plantation, now a maximum-security facility—the play became the basis of the documentary, Angola: Do You Hear Us? (Paramount Plus / Amazon Prime). As the fight for abolition and prison reform gains momentum, this story reminds us that art is not decoration—it's a tool for awakening, organizing, and freedom.
Explores forgotten solidarity with African liberation struggles through the life of Black Chicagoan Prexy Nesbitt. For many civil rights activists, the Vietnam War brought the dangers of US imperialism and the global nature of antiracist struggle into sharp relief. Martha Biondi tells the story of one such group of activists who built an internationalist movement in Chicago committed to liberation everywhere but especially to ending colonialism and apartheid in Africa. Among their leaders was Prexy Nesbitt. Steeped from an early age in stories of Garveyism and labor militancy, Nesbitt was powerfully influenced by his encounters with the exiled African radicals he met in Dar es Salaam, London, and across the United States. Operating domestically and abroad, Nesbitt's cohort worked closely with opponents of Portuguese and white minority rule in Mozambique, Angola, and South Africa. Rather than promoting a US conception of Black self-determination, they took ideas from African anticolonial leaders and injected them into US foreign policy debates. The biography of a man but even more so of a movement, We Are Internationalists: Prexy Nesbitt and the Fight for African Liberation (U California Press, 2025) reveals the underappreciated influence of a transformative Black solidarity project.

Bonga foi o primeiro artista africano a conquistar um disco de ouro e de platina em Portugal. Neste episódio de ‘Alta Definição’, recorda a infância em Angola que moldou a sua música e o levou ao sucesso internacional. Conta que o som fazia parte do seu quotidiano — em casa, com o pai a tocar acordeão e concertina, ou nas ruas, onde a alegria se espalhava em batuques improvisados. “Se não somos nós a pôr música, é o vizinho. Até pedimos para aumentar. Ao contrário do que acontece cá nas europas, onde chamam a polícia”, diz logo na abertura da entrevista. A falta de música não foi a única coisa que Bonga estranhou nas “europas”. “Quando cheguei a Portugal, quis ir embora no dia seguinte. Senti que era cada um por si, as pessoas não falavam, na rua ninguém se cumprimentava”, desabafa. Ao longo da conversa com Daniel Oliveira, o músico partilha várias confidências sobre a dureza de ser imigrante. Esteve também na Holanda, onde lavou pratos e fez biscates, e em França, onde finalmente começou a gravar as suas primeiras músicas com reconhecimento. Bonga fala ainda da força dos laços familiares, da busca por justiça social e do orgulho em ser pai e avô. “A coisa mais importante que podemos passar aos nossos filhos é uma vivência verdadeira, com disciplina. Mas não é a regra da escola, da igreja, da política ou do vício. É aquele swing, aquilo que sentes”, garante. Sobre a companheira mais nova, com quem recentemente teve gémeos, reforça que, para si, mais do que a idade, “o que interessa é o respeito e o carinho”. No final do programa, depois de revisitar toda a sua história de vida, deixa um pedido para quando chegar a sua hora: “Nós, africanos, celebramos tudo. Quando morrer, porque não celebrar? Cantem as minhas músicas, as músicas do cantor da alegria.” Conheça aqui a sua história com a versão podcast do programa ‘Alta Definição’.

Send us a text[For a complementary audio excerpt of Gary Tyler's book, narrated by Cary Hite, describing the point when Tyler is considering accepting a government plea agreement, and starting life outside Angola, listen here. Copyright © 2025 by Gary Tyler. Audio excerpt courtesy of Simon & Schuster. Audio read by Cary Hite, from the audiobook Stitching Freedom by Gary Tyler, published by Simon & Schuster Audio, a Division of Simon & Schuster, Inc. Used with permission from Simon & Schuster, Inc.]In 1974, at the age of 16, Gary Tyler, who is African American, and was born in St. Rose Parish, Louisiana, was convicted by an all-white jury of a crime he did not commit: the murder of a white teenager. Tyler was sentenced to death. He was sent to Louisiana's infamous Angola prison, where he was the youngest person on death row in the United States. A song by the British reggae band, UB40, titled in his name, “Tyler,” captures the injustice. But Gary Tyler survived to tell the tale, and to write a magnificent book about his life experience: Stitching Freedom: A True Story of Injustice, Defiance, and Hope in Angola Prison, written with Ellen Bravo, and published by Simon and Schuster. Gary Tyler was released from custody in 2016, having spent four decades in prison. Despite the compelling evidence of his innocence, he has never been exonerated. We had the honor of recording our discussion with Gary on October 6, the day before his book's release, and the October 7 anniversary of his arrest, decades later.
Esta Semana em África fica marcada pela campanha eleitoral na Guiné-Bissau para as eleições presidenciais do próximo dia 23 de Novembro onde Fernando Dias da Costa, passou a contar com o apoio de Domingos Simões Pereira, cuja candidatura foi rejeitada pelo Supremo Tribunal de Justiça. Destaques ainda para o o impacto das manifestações pós-eleitorais em Moçambique que continua a ser sentido um ano depois e ainda sobre o Congresso Nacional de Reconciliação que terminou ontém em Luanda. Domingos Simões Pereira, presidente do partido PAIGC, explica que perante a supressão quase total dos direitos fundamentais, não há sacrifício que não possa ser consentido” para “combater a tentativa de impor tiranias no país... Na Guiné-Bissau o Presidente do Movimento Nacional da Sociedade Civil para a Paz, Democracia e Desenvolvimento, Fodé Caramba Sanhá, disse estar preocupado com os sinais de militarização da campanha eleitoral. Num balanço dos primeiros dias da campanha, Fodé Sanhá considerou que é normal apelar ao voto, mas que já não será aceitável que alguns candidatos façam permanentemente referências aos militares como forma de mobilizar o voto... Em Moçambique a actualidade fica marcada com o impacto das manifestações pós-eleitorais em Moçambique que continua a ser sentido um ano depois. João Almeida jovem de 27 anos saiu à rua, a 23 de Novembro de 2024, na Matola, nas imediações de Maputo, para se juntar a um grupo de manifestantes para pedir "uma mudança" no país. Durante o protesto, o jovem de 27 anos foi atingido na perna esquerda por um tiro da Unidade de Intervenção Rápida, foi levado para o hospital da Machava, onde só recebeu tratamento ao fim de duas horas a derramar sangue, acabando por ser amputado. Ainda em Moçambique a oposição criticou, esta semana, a participação do chefe de Estado, Daniel Chapo, na tomada de posse de Samia Suluhu Hassam para um novo mandato como Presidente da Tanzânia. Daniel Chapo justificou fazê-lo em nome da relação histórica entre os dois países. Atenções centradas igualmente para Luanda, em Angola, onde decorreu nesta semana que passou o Congresso Nacional de Reconciliação organizado pela Conferência Episcopal de Angola e São Tomé e Príncipe, que tem como finalidade a promoção da paz e da inclusão, e estabelecer um compromisso nacional para os próximos 50 anos, depois de analisadas as lições dos anos de liberdade conquistados desde 11 de novembro de 1975. O Presidente angolano, João Lourenço, esteve ausente do certame por sobreposição de agenda de Estado. Dom José Manuel Imbamba, presidente da Conferência Episcopal de Angola e São Tomé e Principe, organizadora do congresso considerou que o encontro é um espaço privilegiado para o diálogo à volta do projecto da construção de uma Angola reconciliada.
After years of Chinese investment in Africa, the West is fighting back. Through the Lobito Corridor project, the US and European countries are investing billions in Angola's Benguela Railway, which runs from southern Africa's interior to Angola's Atlantic coast. The aim is to build a quick and reliable supply chain to export African minerals to the West. These minerals power the chips in all our gadgets, so they are pivotal in the US's tussle with China. Plus, the project promises huge economic gains for Angola. Marcia Veiga takes the train to find out if ordinary Angolans will benefit, or if it is another case of foreign powers extracting African resources for their own gain.
Arranca hoje, em Angola, o Congresso Nacional da Reconciliação, sem presença de João Lourenço. Presidente alemão visita hoje o corredor de Lobito. Em Moçambique, ativista crítica informe anual do Provedor da Justiça.

Ativista Gangsta apela aos que assistirem ao Angola x Argentina a manifestarem-se.
Nova lei de estrangeiros torna a vida de imigrantes mais difícil em Portugal. Presidente alemão chegou ontem à Angola. E a vida volta gradualmente à normalidade na Tanzania após protestos violentos.
MPLA cada vez menos tolerante a vozes críticas à liderança do partido, afirmam analistas. Vamos em direto até Luanda onde João Lourenço encontrou-se hoje com o Presidente alemão, Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Em Portugal, nova lei de estrangeiros torna mais difícil a vida dos imigrantes. E no futebol, termina esta noite a 4ª jornada da Liga dos Campeões.
Em Angola, Marcolino Moco, em exclusivo à DW, defende a criação de mecanismos pacíficos para se "acabar com o regime". Em Cabo Verde, a diretora da TCV acusa a emissora estatal de abuso de poder, perseguição e tentativa de silenciar o jornalismo. Emissora responde à DW.

Jornalista guineense afirma que pela primeira vez na história da democracia da Guiné-Bissau, não há concorrência ao atual líder para as eleições de 23 de novembro. Em Moçambique, o filho da presidente do Conselho Constitucional, Lúcia Ribeiro, refuta as alegações de pagamento irregular de 561,7 milhões de meticais à sua empresa, Mitra Energy.
São Tomé e Príncipe se tornou o primeiro país do mundo a ver todo o seu território reconhecido; Angola e Guiné-Equatorial agora possuem áreas protegidas; Dia Internacional sobre o tema ressalta possibilidade de relação harmônica da humanidade com o meio ambiente.
The Kenyan Treasury last month announced a breakthrough in its years-long effort to restructure billions of dollars still owed to the China Exim Bank that were used to build the Standard Gauge Railway. The two sides agreed to convert the remaining $3.5 billion of debt from higher-interest-rate U.S. dollar-denominated loans to more affordable yuan-denominated loans, which would potentially generate $215 million in savings for the Treasury. Both Ethiopia and Indonesia are also in talks with Chinese creditors doing the same kind of currency swap to restructure billions of dollars of railway loans. Yufan Huang, a pre-doctoral fellow with the China-Africa Research Initiative at Johns Hopkins University and one of the world's leading experts on Chinese debt restructuring, joins Eric to discuss Kenya's new swap and why the promised savings could be illusory.
After centuries of colonial rule, the end of Angola's three-decade civil war in 2002 provided an irresistible opportunity for the government to reimagine the Luanda cityscape. Awash with petrodollars cultivated through strategic foreign relationships, President José Eduardo dos Santos rolled out a national reconstruction program that sought to transform Angola's capital into what he considered to be a modern, world-class metropolis. Until funds dried up in 2014, the program—in conjunction with sweeping private investments in real estate—involved mass demolitions of vernacular architecture to make way for high-rise buildings, large-scale housing projects, and commercial centers. The program thus underestimated the values enshrined in the materials and designs of Luanda's existing “informally” constructed neighborhoods, or musseques. The Aesthetics of Belonging: Indigenous Urbanism and City Building in Oil-Boom Luanda (University of North Carolina Press, 2024) explores the political significance of aesthetics in the remaking of the city. Dr. Claudia Gastrow's archival and ethnographic work, which includes interviews with city planners, architects, nonprofit leaders, and urban dwellers, shows how government infrastructure projects and foreign-inspired designs came to embody displacement and exclusion for many. This, Dr. Gastrow argues, catalyzed a countermovement, an aesthetic dissent rooted in critically reframing informal urbanism as Indigenous—a move that enabled the possibility of recognizing the political potential of informal settlements as spaces that produce belonging. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

After centuries of colonial rule, the end of Angola's three-decade civil war in 2002 provided an irresistible opportunity for the government to reimagine the Luanda cityscape. Awash with petrodollars cultivated through strategic foreign relationships, President José Eduardo dos Santos rolled out a national reconstruction program that sought to transform Angola's capital into what he considered to be a modern, world-class metropolis. Until funds dried up in 2014, the program—in conjunction with sweeping private investments in real estate—involved mass demolitions of vernacular architecture to make way for high-rise buildings, large-scale housing projects, and commercial centers. The program thus underestimated the values enshrined in the materials and designs of Luanda's existing “informally” constructed neighborhoods, or musseques.

The Vicious Cycle: He embodies the "Black Male Foolishness" label by perpetually being the subject of damaging rumors (sliding into DMs, questionable finances) and then, when confronted, acting like the victim of an unfair interrogation. The ultimate, comedic absurdity is that Lateshia, the most successful networker on the show, is consistently held back by a man who views his primary job as defending his honor in an argument that only exists because he keeps giving people valid reasons to doubt it. He's the anchor tied to Lateshia's yacht, and he seems to be enjoying the ride.
