The practice of healthcare is inherently powerful, and our patients are vulnerable to our power. Though power can be abused, the righteous use of power, for the benefit of the vulnerable, is profoundly Christlike. We will explore the lessons of power which help us understand our roles, including the fundamental nature of professionalism and key kingdom strategies of healthcare missions.

Die Dorsland — the Thirstland — is part of the Kalahari that has an interesting history when it comes to pastoralists. The San didn't call it the Thirstland, for them it wasn't a barrier but part of a network of seasonal resource nodes. They would navigate the dry spans using sip-wells, inserting long, hollow reeds deep into the damp sand, use grass filters, and literally suck water up to store in hollowed-out ostrich eggshells buried along transit routes for future journeys. Around 2,000 to 2,500 years ago, a massive economic shift occurred when groups in northern Botswana acquired livestock, sheep and later cattle, transitioning from hunter-gatherers to pastoralists—becoming the Khoekhoe. Archaeological evidence indicates the Khoekhoe moved out of the northern Botswana/Zambezi region and split. One major migration route skirted the western edge of the Kalahari desert, moving down through modern-day Namibia and into the Northern and Western Cape with the Kalahari was the geographic pivot around which this entire pastoralist expansion rotated. Moving large herds of sheep and cattle through a Thirstland required moving between reliable pans and riverbeds like the Nossob, Auob, and Molopo rivers. They transformed the Kalahari from a hunter-gatherer landscape into a series of strategic grazing corridors. The Dorsland Trekkers were going to reverse that course to some extent, using the north western Botswana region to reach Namibia, and eventually, Angola. The Khoekhoe like the Voortrekkers, appreciated their freedom, moving in small extended family groups, their mobility part of their world-view. Instead of heading north west like the trekkers, they had headed south west for hundreds of years, arriving in Southern Africa about 2400 years ago. That was about the time parts of south-central Africa experienced a shift in rainfall, forests and dense woodlands expanded or contracted, the tsetse belts moved. If you were an early pastoralist whose entire wealth, diet, and social structure depended on cattle and sheep, a shifting tsetse belt was an existential threat. The arid margins of the Kalahari, the Namib, and the Karoo environments further south were too dry for the tsetse fly. The Karoo was a safe haven for livestock, the Namib too dessicated. In high-rainfall, tropical areas, grass grows fast but loses its nutritional value in winter, it becomes sourveld. In more arid regions like the fringes of the Kalahari and the Karoo the grass grows slower but retains its high mineral and protein content year-round, even when dry - it is sweetveld. To a sheep or cow, the arid south was an open buffet of incredibly nutritious feed. The Khoekhoe migration pushed into the Western Cape, where they hit a completely different climate zone, the winter rainfall region, so just as the summer rainfall area dried out, the Cape valleys were greening up. But where the trekkers moved northwards taking a decade and arrived Angola in 1880, the Khoekhoe migrations took hundreds of years. A gradual seeping south if you like. After the Khoekhoe, and before the Boers, the people of the Ngami area near the Okavango Delta were known as the Khwebe - from the word Kwe which simply means “people”. They dwelled close to a geographical anomaly in Botswana - the Khwebe Hills — Botswana is one of the flattest countries on earth. The Khwebe hills are a windy place and Khwebe mythology speaks of the Gas Bird which lives in a certain baobab near the upper Okavango River valley. If you listen closely, you can hear his hissing voice inside the tree. The mythology is linked to earlier San cosmology, where the word !Khwe means wind — and where the wind is a supernatural being.

We explore the role music played in the creation of a uniquely Angolan consciousness as the country struggled toward independence in the 1960s and ‘70s after centuries of colonialism. Our guides will be producer Ned Sublette, on the ground in Angola, and Dr. Marissa Moorman, historian of southern Africa, and author of Intonations: A Social History of Music in Luanda, Angola from 1945 to Recent Times. We'll hear the pathbreaking group Ngola Ritmos, who dared sing songs in Kimbundu publicly when it was prohibited by the Portuguese. We'll hear immortal voices from the age when the guitar-driven style called semba ruled, as well as some snazzy ‘60s guitar instrumentals. Produced by Ned Sublette APWW #647

Guerra silenciosa no MPLA: João Lourenço enfrenta Higino Carneiro e outros pré-candidatos numa rara disputa pela liderança. O congresso do MPLA é em dezembro de 2026, mas a batalha já começou. Quem vence?

Esta semana, continuou a campanha para as eleições legislativas deste domingo em Cabo Verde, enquanto na Guiné-Bissau houve acordo entre a direcção do histórico PAIGC e o grupo de oposição interna. Em Moçambique, continuou a crise dos combustíveis e revelou-se que 2,4 milhões de crianças estão ou foram submetidas ao trabalho infantil no país, incluindo na mineração e garimpo. Em Nairobi, houve cimeira franco-africana e em Angola celebrou-se mais um título do Petro de Luanda. Este domingo, os cabo-verdianos são chamados às urnas para as eleições legislativas. Melhorias nos sectores dos transportes, da saúde e da educação são algumas das principais preocupações da população. Oiça aqui a reportagem da nossa enviada especial a Cabo Verde, Neidy Ribeiro na cidade da Ponta do Sol, na ilha de Santo Antão. Na Guiné-Bissau, a direção do histórico PAIGC e o grupo de oposição interna chegaram a “um entendimento” sobre a realização do próximo congresso. O acordo prevê a inclusão na comissão preparatória do congresso de dois elementos do grupo que contestavam a direcção: José Carlos Esteves, actual ministro das Obras Públicas, e Mário Musante, ministro da Energia. Em Moçambique, continua a crise dos combustíveis. No início da semana, os transportadores voltaram a paralisar a actividade em várias rotas e a exigir a revisão da tarifa do transporte ou do combustível, apesar do acordo alcançado entre o governo e a Federação Moçambicana da Associação dos Transportadores rodoviários para subsidiar o transporte. O Conselho da União Europeia prorrogou o mandato da Missão de Assistência Militar da UE em Moçambique por mais seis meses, até 31 de Dezembro de 2026. O anúncio foi feito, esta quinta-feira, em Maputo. Em Moçambique, cerca de 2,4 milhões de crianças em Moçambique estão ou já foram submetidas ao trabalho infantil, muitas delas em actividades consideradas perigosas, como a mineração artesanal e o garimpo. A situação preocupa o ministério do Trabalho, Género e Acção Social, que alerta para o agravamento do fenómeno nos últimos anos, sobretudo nas províncias de Nampula, Tete e Inhambane. A cimeira franco-africana de Nairobi, "Africa Forward", terminou esta terça-feira. Em entrevista à RFI, o Presidente francês falou nomeadamente sobre a situação na RDC e mostrou reservas sobre eventuais sanções europeias contra o Ruanda devido ao papel de Kigali na guerra no leste daquele país. Em Angola, o candidato à liderança do MPLA, Higino Carneiro, foi chamado, na quarta-feira, à Procuradoria-Geral da República para ser notificado sobre a reabertura de um processo, que já tinha sido arquivado, envolvendo uma alegada burla com viaturas. Higino Carneiro considera que há motivações políticas por detrás da convocação que surge dias depois de o Presidente angolano João Lourenço, ter formalizado a recandidatura à liderança do partido. No desporto, o Petro de Luanda sagrou-se Campeão de Angola pela quinta vez consecutiva, quando faltam ainda três jornadas para o fim da temporada. Ao microfone da RFI, Joaquim Valinho, treinador-adjunto do Petro de Luanda, disse que é uma “felicidade tremenda” ter novamente conquistado o Girabola.

What is cultural distress? It is a negative response rooted in a cultural conflict where the patient lacks control over their situation. It results in more physiologic effects on the body resulting in allostatic overload. To prevent this, healthcare practitioners must use strategies such as cultural humility to help patients navigate healthcare. Come find the best ways to deliver culturally sensitive care in any setting.

A corrida à liderança do MPLA está ao rubro. João Lourenço e Higino Carneiro figuram como fortes candidatos. Cabo Verde vai a votos, no domingo. Trump de visita à China.

Há presidentes de câmara. E depois há Isaltino Morais. Cresceu em Trás-os-Montes, filho de agricultores, numa aldeia onde a pobreza se media em pães distribuídos a quem chegava à porta ao fim de semana. Perdeu o pai aos 14 anos e a mãe mais tarde, ficou sozinho em Bragança aos 12, foi à guerra em Angola, passou 14 meses na prisão e, aos 76 anos, tornou-se um fenómeno das redes sociais — sem nunca ter pedido por isso. Isaltino Morais, presidente da Câmara de Oeiras há mais de quatro décadas, sentou-se para uma conversa que começa numa canja de garoupa e termina em lágrimas, apesar da promessa feita a si mesmo de que não choraria. "Você tem uma partícula de luz", disse, no final, ao entrevistador. Entre memórias de pesadelos na prisão — comboios que passavam por cima dele e filhos que desapareciam no escuro dos sonhos —, da mãe que vendia oliveiras para pagar os estudos dos filhos, e de um abraço calculado que desarmava os castigos, o autarca mais longevo de Portugal recorda um professor que lhe disse que "nem toda a gente pode ser doutor". Isaltino Morais construiu uma vida que parece desafiar a lógica — e fez de cada cicatriz um argumento. "Se tu quiseres, és tudo", diz.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Few public servants in Louisiana history have worn as many hats, or told as many stories, as Jay Dardenne. Having served as State Senator, Secretary of State, Lieutenant Governor, and Commissioner of Administration under John Bel Edwards, Dardenne has spent decades shaping and promoting the state. But in this conversation, we explore a different dimension of his life: historian, storyteller, and documentarian. Dardenne is the creator and host of Why Louisiana Ain't Mississippi or Any Place Else, a production of Louisiana Public Broadcasting that brings Louisiana's complex history to life. What began as a live presentation he started developing in the 1990s has evolved into a widely viewed documentary, what Jay calls “a gumbo of culture, politics, music, and storytelling.” His goal is simple but profound: to help people understand not just what happened in Louisiana, but why it shaped who we are today. His personal connection to Acadiana runs deep. “It is always good to come to Lafayette,” he shares. “I spend a lot of time here growing up because my mother was born here. It's like a second home.” Dardenne's passion for public service began early. Reflecting on his time as student body president at Louisiana State University, he admits the decision to run came “in a moment of weakness,” but it set the stage for a lifelong commitment to leadership. “I think I did want to serve from a young age. I always wanted to be president of this or that. It was kind of a natural move for me to decide to get into politics.” Even today, he remains active in the legal field, working as a mediator and maintaining a practice focused on business matters and estate planning. “I don't want to retire,” he says candidly. At the heart of this episode is Dardenne's deep dive into Louisiana's identity. He emphasizes that Louisiana's influence far exceeds its size: “We punch above our weight as a state. Our influence and our impact on sports, music, politics, art and literature is disproportionate to our size.” His storytelling traces the state's origins from Indigenous civilizations at Poverty Point, a site he notes was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site during his tenure as Lieutenant Governor, to the layered cultural influences of French, Spanish, African, Acadian, and immigrant communities. He walks listeners through the founding of New Orleans by Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville and the early French explorers like René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle, highlighting how these forces combined to create what he repeatedly describes as a uniquely Louisiana “gumbo.” The conversation also captures his appreciation for the state's colorful political past. Figures like Huey Long and Dudley LeBlanc loom large in his storytelling, representing a brand of larger-than-life leadership that he believes has faded over time. “We have characters still,” he says, “but we don't have the color that Huey Long and Dudley LeBlanc brought.” Why Louisiana Ain't Mississippi… or Any Place Else! Documentary Companion Book showcases the photography of visual documentarian photographer Carol Highsmith. The book takes you on a visual journey across Louisiana, revealing hidden beauty and startling new perspectives of iconic images. It can be purchased at LPB’s website here. Dardenne's work is not just about history, it's about connection. Through humor, he makes complex narratives memorable: “People do remember things that entertain them.” That philosophy has helped his presentation resonate with audiences across generations, even leading to curriculum-based lesson plans for students in grades 6 through 12. Educators, students, and parents now have access to new digital resources that complement learning across multiple areas of study and put Louisiana history and culture center stage! Developed by LPB Education, these free educational resources offer entertaining and informative content for twenty-four curriculum supports. This effort was funded through a dedicated percentage of membership revenues raised by Why Louisiana Ain't Mississippi… or Any Place Else! Visit https://whylouisiana.lpb.org/Classroom.html for more information. He also shares insight into his latest documentary project, focused on LSU legend Billy Cannon. The film explores Cannon's life beyond football, including his later work at Louisiana State Penitentiary. “It'll be a football story,” Dardenne explains, “but it'll also be about redemption, what he did at Angola after he was released from prison.” When asked what he is most proud of, Dardenne's answer is deeply personal: “My two sons.” Professionally, however, his guiding principle has remained constant: “I like to leave a place better than I found it.” That ethos extends to his love for Louisiana itself. Despite its challenges, he believes the state's culture and sense of identity keep people rooted here. “We're very self-critical, but nonetheless, this is a place where people want to live. They love the lifestyle. They love who we are.” In this episode, Jay Dardenne reminds us that Louisiana is not easily defined, and that's exactly the point. Through history, humor, and heartfelt reflection, he invites us to see the state not just as a place, but as a living story worth preserving.

Meer as 600 Ovahimba en Ovatjimba in die Epupa-kiesafdeling in die Kunene-streek sê hulle is nie behoorlik geraadpleeg oor die beplande Baynes-hidroëlektriese dam van 840 megawatt nie. Gemeenskappe vrees dat die gesamentlike Kunenerivier-projek met Angola hul grond, lewensonderhoud en toegang tot water kan beïnvloed. Die ontwikkeling sal ‘n reuse dam, paaie en transmissielyne insluit.

In this episode, we sit down with Gerald Perreira, longtime Guyanese anti-imperialist activist, educator, and organizer, for a conversation on Cuba, U.S. power, and the unfinished struggle for true independence in the Caribbean and broader Global South. We unpack the tightening of U.S. pressure on Cuba, including the attack on Cuban medical brigades across the region, and examine why Guyana's recent political decisions represent a historic betrayal of transnational solidarity. From Cuba's lifesaving medical internationalism and its decisive role in defeating apartheid forces in Angola and South Africa, to the erosion of Caribbean sovereignty under neoliberalism, we trace the deeper structures of neocolonialism and empire. Perreira situates today's crises within a broader historical arc: the legacy of plantation economies, the transformation of postcolonial elites into managers of foreign interests, the limits of liberal democracy, and the rise of a global axis of resistance. Gerald A. Perreira is a liberation theologian, educator and political activist. He is chairperson of Organization for the Victory of the People (OVP) based in Guyana, a member of the Governing  Council of the Global Pan African Movement (Harare) and an executive member of the Caribbean Pan-African Network (CPAN).

Specialist rural doctor, Damien Brown on dramatic rescues, slow interventions and the cases that moved him, including attending to two badly burnt men after a fuel tank exploded on a remote Queensland cattle station.As a young boy in South Africa, Damien Brown was always interested in science and medicine.His neighbour, the local veterinarian, would let him observe surgery in the workshop, so it was predictable that Damien would end up as a medical doctor.After his parents moved the family to Australia, the call to help others drew Damien back to the very things his parents had tried to shield him from — civil war, crime, absolute poverty and inequity.Damien joined Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) as soon as they would take him as a junior doctor.He worked in Angola, Mozambique and South Sudan. When he returned to Australia, working for the Royal Flying Doctor Service in remote communities in Central Australia and Far North Queensland, he found challenges that were more similar to his previous experience in Africa than he expected.Further informationBush Doctor: A memoir from the beautiful, rugged heart of outback Australia is published by Allen & Unwin.This episode was produced by Rebecca McLaren.

Vandag herdenk Namibië Cassingadag. Die vakansiedag word gevier ter ere van die meer as 600 mense wat in 1978 in die aanval deur Suid-Afrikaanse magte in 'n Swapo-vlugtelingkamp in die dorp Cassinga in Angola dood is. Swapo-veteraan Nahas Angula sê aan Kosmos 94.1 Nuus dat dae soos hierdie nie net oor simboliek moet gaan nie, maar 'n weerspieëling van die status van die sosio-ekonomiese situasie waarmee baie Namibiërs vandag te kampe het.

This week on “Inside the Vatican,” Gerry O'Connell gives Colleen Dulle an inside look at Pope Leo XIV's visit to four African countries.

With the U.S., Europe, Japan, and China all moving quickly to secure new supplies of African critical minerals, more attention is now shifting to the strategic supply chains that will get those resources from mine to port to market. The U.S. and Europe have invested billions to refurbish the Lobito Corridor that stretches from the DRC and Angola all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. The Chinese have committed nearly two billion dollars to upgrade the aging TAZARA railway that links Zambia to the Indian Ocean port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. Paul Nantulya, a research associate at the Africa Center for Strategic Studies in Washington, joins Eric & Géraud to discuss how Japan is placing its bet on the Nacala Corridor — a much lower profile, yet potentially far more important route that links Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique. Topics Covered in This Episode Major powers competing for Africa's trade corridors The strategic importance of the Nacala Corridor China's role in African infrastructure and logistics Japan's approach to supply chain diversification Critical minerals and the race up the value chain The Lobito and TAZARA corridors explained Show Notes: The Africa Center for Strategic Studies: Reciprocal and Resilient Mineral Supply Chains: Lessons from the Nacala Corridor by Paul Nantulya Join the Discussion: X: @ChinaGSProject | @eric_olander | @christiangeraud Facebook: www.facebook.com/ChinaAfricaProject YouTube: www.youtube.com/@ChinaGlobalSouth Now on Bluesky!

 If you've ever attended Jazz Fest then it's likely you've seen the Black Masking Indians, dancing and singing on stage or parading down the path. The Indians have actually played a role in Jazz Fest since its founding, and the music event helped to make more people aware of the Backstreet culture.Last week, WWNO's Alana Schreiber spent some time with Black Masking Indians getting ready for Jazz Fest performances. They discussed how the culture has changed over time, from one of seclusion and occasional infighting, to one of community and sharing. Any day now, a decision is expected in a bench trial challenging forced labor on the farm line at the Louisiana State Penitentiary – better known as Angola. The lawsuit was filed three years ago by both current and former incarcerated men, who argue the work constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.For more, WWNO's Michael McEwen spoke with Samantha Pourciau, a senior staff attorney at the Promise of Justice Initiative, the organization representing the plaintiffs in federal court. The Grammy award-winning New Orleans band, Tank and the Bangas, is coming out with a new album, The Last Balloon.

Overland Journal Podcast host Scott Brady interviews recent world record holder John Ballsdon of Always Look Twice about his 28-day drive from Nordkapp, Norway to Cape Agulhas, South Africa, largely hugging West Africa's coast in two Ineos Grenadiers, one towing a Bruder trailer.

John explains why he pursued the record as an antidote to “doom scrolling,” highlights Guinea and the North Cape, describes low points in Angola, a lost passport recovered through Nigerian kindness, vehicle prep and fuel strategy, and a forthcoming feature-length film planned for autumn.

674. Part 2 of our conversation about prison reform with returning guest Leslie Bary. In this episode, we discuss Leslie Bary's recent article, “From Angola with Love: Activism, Academics, and the Abolitionist Future,” which chronicles her thirty-year journey providing post-conviction relief and solidarity for death row and maximum-security prisoners at the Louisiana State Penitentiary. Leslie examines the intersection of praxis and theory, the limitations of the prison-industrial complex, and the evolving relationship between academic work and abolitionist activism.Leslie Bary is an Assistant Professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where she specializes in Latin American literature and cultural theory. A Comparative Literature scholar with a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, her work often bridges the gap between literary studies and humanitarian support, including recent efforts assisting ICE detainees in Louisiana.

Acadian Reminiscences.     In the cold winter days the family assembled in the hall, where a goodly fire blazed on the hearth, and while the wind whistled outside, our grandmother, an exile from Acadia, would relate to us the stirring scenes she had witnessed when her people were driven from their homes by the British, their sufferings during their long pilgrimage overland from Maryland to the wilds of Louisiana, the dangers that beset them on their long journey through endless forests, along the precipitous banks of rivers too deep to be forded.     And as she spoke, we drew closer to her, and grouped around her and stirred not, lest we lose one of her words.     When she spoke of Acadia, her face brightened, her eyes beamed with a strange brilliancy, and she kept us spellbound, so eloquent and yet so sad were her words, and then tears trickled down her aged cheeks and her voice trembled with emotion.
