A 35ª edição da mais importante competição de futebol da África começa neste domingo (21) no Marrocos. A seleção anfitriã mede forças contra Comores e sonha com o bicampeonato, já que conquistou seu primeiro título em 1976. Adversário do Brasil na estreia na Copa do Mundo de 2026, Marrocos foi semifinalista do último Mundial, em 2022; o melhor resultado da história de um país africano no torneio. Marcio Arruda, da RFI em Paris A Copa Africana de Nações (CAN), realizada entre dezembro e janeiro, vai reunir 24 países, que têm apenas um objetivo: o título continental. Essa CAN promete ser a mais prestigiada da história da competição, já que sete das nove seleções que vão disputar a Copa do Mundo de 2026 estarão em campo. “Esta edição vai ter muito mais pessoas assistindo porque, no Mundial do próximo ano, nove seleções africanas vão participar. Entre as que estarão na Copa do Mundo, apenas Cabo Verde e Gana não vão jogar esta CAN. Mas a verdade é que as outras sete vão estar presentes e será uma oportunidade para os treinadores que vão enfrentá-las na próxima Copa observarem suas forças e suas fraquezas e já fazerem um trabalho de preparação", analisa Marco Martins, jornalista português especializado na Copa Africana de Nações. "Em jogos amistosos, estas seleções podem esconder um pouco as táticas, a maneira de jogar, quem são as estrelas e como são técnica e taticamente. Mas desta vez é uma competição oficial. É um torneio que as seleções africanas adoram; para elas, é uma honra conquistar esse troféu. É como a Eurocopa para os europeus. É um orgulho ser a principal seleção do continente. E agora as seleções não vão poder esconder o jogo”, argumenta Martins. Leia tambémSeleção brasileira muda postura em campo com Ancelotti e torcedores sonham com hexa Pensando no Mundial de 2026, o jornalista ressalta que é a chance do treinador da seleção brasileira, o italiano Carlo Ancelotti, e sua comissão técnica avaliarem um dos adversários da equipe no torneio da Fifa. "O Brasil, por exemplo, vai jogar contra o Marrocos na Copa. Então, será uma oportunidade para o técnico Ancelotti tomar algumas notas e ver o potencial da equipe marroquina. Esta será uma CAN muito assistida justamente pelo fato de que faltam aproximadamente seis meses para a Copa do Mundo. Esta edição vai despertar muito mais interesse e terá uma grande visibilidade", completou Marco Martins. Sotaque português na Copa Africana Se Cabo Verde, que estará na Copa do Mundo, não vai disputar a CAN, outras duas seleções lusófonas jogarão em estádios marroquinos. “Temos a presença de Angola e Moçambique. Penso que são duas seleções que caíram em grupos bastante difíceis, mas eu realmente acho que podem fazer uma boa figuração no torneio”, opinou o técnico português Nuno da Silva. O treinador, que recentemente integrou a comissão técnica do União Desportiva do Songo, de Moçambique, analisou as chances da seleção moçambicana, que já disputou seis Copas Africanas e vai estrear nesta edição contra a atual campeã Costa do Marfim. “O grupo de Moçambique está estruturado com o retorno do capitão Dominguês e de outros jogadores que há anos fazem parte do elenco. Os jovens que têm entrado ainda não têm lugares cativos entre os 11 titulares. O grupo se manteve uniforme e isso pode ser uma vantagem para a seleção moçambicana”, disse. “Em uma competição como esta não se trata de ter grupos fáceis ou não. O momento de cada seleção vai ditar muita coisa na competição”, resume Nuno da Silva. Nuno também tem passagem pelo Interclube, um dos principais times de Angola. O treinador de 40 anos analisou a seleção angolana, que fará sua décima participação na CAN e, nesta edição, disputará seu primeiro jogo contra a África do Sul. “No grupo de Angola tem um novo técnico que já teve passagem pela seleção como treinador adjunto. Regressa agora ao país que conhece, mas numa função distinta e de mais importância. O grupo teve alguns regressos que estavam fora com o treinador anterior, teve também algumas perdas, e penso que neste aspecto, comparado a Moçambique, a seleção de Angola tem algo a perder porque vai precisar de mais tempo para assimilar as ideias do treinador”, explicou. Salah turbinado para esta CAN? Um dos favoritos no grupo de Angola é o Egito, maior vencedor da Copa Africana de Nações com sete conquistas. Entretanto, a última foi há 15 anos, em 2010. Principal jogador da seleção egípcia, Mohamed Salah, que busca sua primeira conquista pelo país, atravessa um momento delicado em seu clube, o Liverpool, da Inglaterra. O treinador da equipe, Arne Slot, deixou Salah fora do time titular nas últimas rodadas da Premier League. Tudo porque o atacante o criticou publicamente. E será que o técnico Nuno da Silva acha que essa desavença pode prejudicar o rendimento do jogador na seleção do Egito? “Sinceramente, por se tratar de uma relação clube-seleção, eu acho que pode dar uma força enorme ao atleta. Penso que isso, a relação dele com o treinador Arne Slot, é um problema interno do Liverpool. Voltar a ser o rosto e o símbolo da nação egípcia pode motivar bastante o Salah para a CAN. Acho que o Egito pode ficar muito mais forte com o Salah presente”, opinou Nuno. Equilíbrio entre os favoritos Além do Egito, há outras seleções favoritas ao título desta edição. Algumas por terem um jogador que pode decidir uma partida, outras pela força coletiva. “Não sei se poderá haver surpresas porque, no fundo, há muitas equipes que são favoritas, como o Marrocos, que é anfitriã, o Egito, que tem o Mohamed Salah, e a Nigéria, que conta com o Victor Osimhen. Há também a Tunísia, que é muito forte coletivamente, o Senegal, que vai a campo com Sadio Mané, a Argélia, que se destaca pelo coletivo, e finalmente a Costa do Marfim. Todas essas podem alcançar o título e estamos falando de um leque de quase dez seleções. A surpresa aconteceria se uma das duas seleções lusófonas, que até hoje nunca foram campeãs, chegasse ao título", afirmou Marco Martins.  "É importante falar que há um tipo de hierarquia, como acontece na América do Sul e na Europa. Na África, temos oito ou dez seleções que podem conquistar a CAN", explica o jornalista Marco Martins. "Então, eu não espero surpresa nesta edição. Daquelas que citei, se uma delas for campeã, para mim não será surpreendente”, cravou. O treinador Nuno disse que “os candidatos ao título acabam por ser os habituais, como Marrocos, por jogar em casa, Costa do Marfim, por ser a atual campeã, e outras seleções que podem ter boas atuações. Eu acho que Moçambique pode fazer uma 'gracinha' no grupo e ir longe na competição. Angola, claramente pela qualidade da seleção, pode pensar em algo além da simples passagem pela fase de grupos”. O jornalista Marco Martins não acredita que as duas seleções de língua portuguesa chegarão longe nesta CAN. “Se Angola ou Moçambique vencerem, será uma surpresa. Penso o mesmo sobre a Guiné Equatorial, Sudão, Botsuana e Benin”, opinou. Campeã aos trancos e barrancos Marco também lembrou o título da Costa do Marfim na última edição da Copa Africana. “Foi uma surpresa a Costa do Marfim alcançar o título. Apesar de jogar em casa, a campanha foi turbulenta. Lembro que algo não funcionava naquela seleção nos primeiros jogos e houve a troca de técnico. Era o clique que precisavam. Conseguiram avançar da fase de grupos graças a uma combinação de resultados. A classificação para as oitavas de final parece ter sido a motivação extra que a equipe precisava. Situação rara, mas não inédita. Na Eurocopa de 2016, Portugal terminou em terceiro no seu grupo e avançou às oitavas por ter sido um dos melhores terceiros colocados na competição”, contou o jornalista português. O regulamento daquela Euro permitia a classificação às oitavas das duas melhores seleções de cada grupo, além de quatro equipes com melhor desempenho entre as que ficaram em terceiro lugar nas suas respectivas chaves. “Depois de passar pela fase de grupos, Portugal conseguiu chegar à final e foi campeão ao vencer a França, que jogava em casa no Stade de France. Isso mostra que, de vez em quando, seleções e clubes conseguem dar a volta por cima. Na temporada passada, por exemplo, o PSG teve muitas dificuldades na Champions League. Na penúltima partida da primeira fase contra o Manchester City, em determinado momento, o PSG estava sendo eliminado, mas conseguiram reverter a situação, ganharam o jogo, se classificaram para os playoffs somente na última rodada, avançaram na competição e venceram a Liga dos Campeões. E algo parecido aconteceu com a Costa do Marfim”, completou. Apesar de ter conquistado o título da última edição da CAN, a equipe marfinense teve uma campanha irregular, que ficou marcada pela troca de treinador durante a competição. Depois da fase de grupos, o francês Jean-Louis Gasset foi demitido e o auxiliar marfinense Emerse Faé assumiu o comando da seleção até a vitória na final por 2 a 1 diante da Nigéria. Grupos desta edição da CAN: Grupo A: Marrocos, Mali, Zâmbia e Comores Grupo B: África do Sul, Zimbábue, Egito e Angola Grupo C: Tanzânia, Nigéria, Tunísia e Uganda Grupo D: Senegal, Botsuana, RD Congo e Benin Grupo E: Argélia, Guiné Equatorial, Burkina Faso e Sudão Grupo F: Camarões, Gabão, Moçambique e Costa do Marfim O jogo de abertura da Copa Africana de Nações será entre Marrocos e Comores. A final está prevista para o dia 18 de janeiro de 2026. Campeões na história da Copa Africana de Nações: Egito: 7 (1957, 1959, 1986, 1998, 2006, 2008 e 2010) Camarões: 5 (1984, 1988, 2000, 2002 e 2017) Gana: 4 (1963, 1965, 1978 e 1982) Nigéria: 3 (1980, 1994 e 2013) Costa do Marfim: 3 (1992, 2015 e 2023) RD Congo: 2 (1968 e 1974) Argélia: 2 (1990 e 2019) Etiópia: 1 (1962) Sudão: 1 (1970) Congo: 1 (1972) Marrocos: 1 (1976) África do Sul: 1 (1996) Tunísia: 1 (2004) Zâmbia: 1 (2012) Senegal: 1 (2021)

Today's episode is pure midweek chaos, starting with the team reacting to a string of resurfaced Diddy clips and industry rumours. From 50 Cent's trolling to Ray J's wild claims, the room breaks down the strange energy around celebrity culture and the uncomfortable truths hiding in plain sight. The cast bounce between humour, suspicion and cultural commentary as they unpack the power dynamics of the music industry.The conversation then shifts into African geopolitics as the team dissect a dramatic video explaining how France and Nigeria allegedly shut down a coup in Benin in just a few hours. The discussion becomes a deeper look at Western influence, African sovereignty, the role of ECOWAS, electricity dependence, oil politics and whether the story itself is exaggerated for online engagement.The show closes with a thoughtful Topic of the Day, asking whether humans have any responsibility for the survival of our species. The cast debate purpose, procreation, religion, capitalism, individual choice, community, overpopulation, and whether having children is a duty or a personal decision. It becomes an unexpected philosophical moment after a morning of madness.A funny, fast moving and surprisingly reflective episode with classic TDA energy throughout.

In an era when many consumer brands chased venture capital and rapid expansion, Andrew Benin, CEO and Co-Founder of Graza, took a different path. Since launching in 2022, his olive oil brand has become known for its distinctive squeeze bottle packaging and methodical approach to growth, prioritizing product quality and strategic partnerships over instant gratification. Benin's journey from cooking at Gramercy Tavern to building what he believes will be a top-two olive oil company offers a masterclass in patient brand building. In this conversation, we explore Graza's unconventional approach to sourcing, the strategy behind its iconic packaging, how the brand navigated early retail partnerships, and what Benin sees as the future of consumer brand building.

In this bonus episode, Ghost takes listeners on a rapid-fire tour of Africa's escalating conflicts and how they tie directly into Trump's newly released National Security Strategy. He breaks down the Thai–Cambodian border clashes happening in real time as he reads the document, then pivots to major developments across Africa, Burundi and Rwanda trading accusations after bombings, the M23 rebel advance in the DRC, and the strategic fight for rare earth minerals that underpin global power. Ghost walks through maps, troop movements, rebel-backed offensives, and the growing involvement of regional players including Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, and the U.S. He also analyzes the attempted coup in Benin, Nigeria's controversial intervention, and the Sahel alliance's warning that their air defenses are now on high alert. Throughout the episode, Ghost connects each flashpoint to the broader global conflict playing out in Ukraine, Venezuela, and beyond, arguing that Africa has become a central front in the worldwide struggle between sovereign nations and globalist powers. A dense, immersive, high-signal briefing from start to finish.

Benin has become the latest West African state to face a coup. Andrew Mueller explains how the region’s history of upheavals gave president Patrice Talon the tools to stop the attempt. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Episode 63, Ghost breaks down a rapidly shifting African landscape, starting with the attempted coup in Benin and the escalating tension between Nigeria and the emerging Sahel alliance. He examines the growing instability across the region, the internal pressures facing Nigerian leadership, and how these events reflect a broader continental realignment away from Western influence. Ghost then walks through troop movements, border flare-ups, rebel activity, and the strategic implications of Russia, China, and the U.S. competing for leverage on African soil. With his signature clarity, he connects historical context to present-day fractures, showing how economics, security vacuums, and political upheaval are creating a new geopolitical map in West Africa. A focused, high-signal episode that explains why the world's next major power shift may already be underway.

This session will examine key considerations for leaders, senders, and international travelers/workers in the areas of duty of care, risk assessment, contingency planning, security, and common pitfalls ("lessons learned") in international mission work.

Bongani Bingwa speaks with international relations expert Dr Charles Sinkala about reports that people in Benin are living in “total fear” following last week’s attempted coup, during which “violent clashes” broke out between the coup plotters and the Republican Guard at President Patrice Talon’s Cotonou residence, leaving “casualties on both sides. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

//The Wire//2300Z December 8, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: WAR REIGNITES IN SOUTHEAST ASIA AS BORDER CLASHES FLARE UP BETWEEN THAILAND AND CAMBODIA. MILITARY COUP ATTEMPTED IN BENIN.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Southeast Asia: Over the weekend hostilities recommenced between Thailand and Cambodia. What started the latest round of fighting is not clear, however Thailand has crossed into the disputed zone and occupied the village of Pairachan (also known locally as "Prey Chan" village). The US State Department has upgraded the travel alert for the region, due to the ongoing fighting along the border.Analyst Comment: As usual, both sides have accused the other of reigniting hostilities, and right now it's not clear who actually started what. Nevertheless, Thailand has been bombing Cambodia fairly regularly, and Cambodia has been launching unguided rockets at Thailand in return (even though Cambodia states that they have not retaliated). Sporadic fighting has been reported all along the front throughout the day, with most of the heavy shelling being confined to the border itself. No official word on any casualties yet, but Thai sources claim one of their soldiers was killed, while Cambodian sources claim 4 soldiers killed/wounded on their side.Africa: A brief military coup was attempted in the small nation of Benin over the weekend, which took the form of a low level military commander seizing a TV station and announcing that he had taken control of the government. Lieutenant Colonel Pascal Tigri announced the overthrowing of the government and the deposition of the President on television. Turns out, none of that had actually happened, and the TV station was the only location that rebel forces had actually captured. LTC Tigri and his platoon of soldiers were captured shortly afterwards.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This afternoon the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that they will not be publishing the Producer Price Index (PPI) for the month of October, and the PPI report for November will be delayed until January.Analyst Comment: This follows the previous jobs report, the CPI report, and various other reports also not being available for October, reports which usually provide major indicators of how the economic is functioning. The PPI specifically is intended to track the changes in the prices of goods at the producer-level, and is normally used in comparison with the CPI (and other reports) to gauge how major manufacturers and big industry in general is doing. Inferences can be made without this specific dataset, however when a major report is not available this causes problems with data analysis. With the economy, "no news" is usually covering up "bad news", as a rule of thumb. Either way, it's not possible to know what the story is without the data.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comment: For the aspiring warlords of the world, in order for a military coup to be successful, it's generally advised to actually seize control of government before making the announcement of such. Some units loyal to LTC Tigri were successful in closing a few border checkpoints, however no actual key sites were seized by the rebels before making the announcement on TV. Most interestingly, the neighboring nation of Nigeria assisted in providing air support for the government of Benin to help put down the coup attempt. This is part of a long-standing security pact, and mostly took the form of Nigerian aircraft flying over important sites in Benin (such as military bases, checkpoints, etc) to see if anyone on the ground would shoot at them (and thus reveal their allegiance to the rebels). Or at least, that seems to be the theory used during the response. In some cases, Nigerian aircraft were fired upon with small arms, and at least one report exists that alleges Nigerian aircraft dropping a bomb in Benin. Locals in Benin
