Podcasts about Boko Haram

Horrific violence targeting African Christians: Over 125,000 Christians and 60,000 Muslims not siding with extremists have been slaughtered by Boko Haram & others. 19,000+ churches burned. 16M+ have fled their homes.

In Nigeria haben Bewaffnete rund 300 Kinder aus einer katholischen Schule entführt. In manchen Landesteilen gehören Entführungen zur Tagesordnung; Kinder sind leichte Opfer. Internationale Aufmerksamkeit bekamen solche Verbrechen erstmals 2014, als die jihadistische Miliz Boko Haram 276 Mädchen aus einer Schule entführte. Unter dem Hashtag #BringBackOurGirls forderten auch Prominente wie Michelle Obama die Freilassung der Kinder. Im aktuellen Fall wurden nun US-Präsident Donald Trump und andere Republikaner darauf aufmerksam. Sie sprechen davon, dass Christen in Nigeria systematisch verfolgt werden. Doch so einfach ist es nicht.

As violence against Christians escalates in Nigeria, Washington is considering tough sanctions against Nigeria and even Pentagon involvement. What's driving this bold move, and what could it mean for US-Africa relations? Eddy Micah Jr. speaks to Dr.Sam Eke, a political analyst and former presidential candidate, and DW's Ben Shemang in Abuja.

Holy Fire or Strange Fire? When Judgment Begins at the House of God | KIB 507 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description Is the fire in today's churches from the Holy Spirit—or from Babylon? In this sobering episode of Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake examine holy fire vs. strange fire, why judgment must begin at the house of God, and how the remnant can walk safely through coming judgments with their "censers" filled only with the fire of Heaven. They discuss the persecution of believers in Nigeria, the subtle rise of entertainment-based Christianity, the danger of unholy manifestations in church, and the growing crisis of child trafficking as the true currency of Babylon. This is a call for deep repentance, discernment, and a return to God's ways so that the remnant can stand as God's special forces in the last days. If you long for holiness, discernment, and the true fear of the Lord, this episode will both challenge and encourage you to examine the fire in your own life.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan examines the rising risk of war with Venezuela, secret peace talks over Ukraine, the abduction of Christian schoolchildren in Nigeria, Israel's shifting posture in Gaza and Lebanon, and the domestic political fight over sedition and extremist rhetoric inside the United States government. U.S. and Venezuela Move Closer to War: President Trump authorized covert CIA operations inside Venezuela, prompting the FAA to warn airlines about dangerous conditions in Venezuelan airspace. Reports from Bloomberg, Reuters, and the New York Times confirm GPS jamming and rising military activity. A Russian oil tanker headed for Caracas was turned away twice by the USS Stockdale and is now anchored off Cuba. Bryan notes that the White House still hopes for a peaceful exit by President Maduro, with Colombia offering asylum in exchange for guarantees of no future attempts to kill or arrest him. Trump's Ukraine Peace Plan Faces Pushback: A secret twenty-eight-point peace plan leaked last week, calling for Ukraine to give up parts of the Donbas, reduce its military to six hundred thousand troops, and abandon NATO membership. The plan would also restore economic ties between Russia and the West and release frozen Russian funds for joint rare earth projects. European leaders object, and President Zelenskyy says negotiations must continue, insisting Ukraine needs a larger standing army to deter future invasions. Bryan emphasizes that Trump wants the deal signed by Thanksgiving, warning Zelenskyy that U.S. support may end if he refuses. Ukraine's Deepening Corruption Crisis: Fifteen to thirty percent of aid intended for Ukraine's military and energy needs has been stolen, according to recent reporting. Several allies of Zelenskyy have been arrested, and the president's key aide, Andriy Yermak, is widely suspected of involvement. Ukraine's anti-corruption agency plans more indictments this week, placing Zelenskyy in a weakened negotiating position. Islamists Kidnap Christian Children in Nigeria: Three hundred Christian students were abducted from a Catholic school in central Nigeria. About fifty escaped by fleeing into the forest and hiding until farmers rescued them. Boko Haram and other jihadist factions are believed to be responsible. Bryan warns that these groups aim to build an Islamic caliphate across the Sahel and into the Gulf of Guinea, threatening regional Christians and strategic minerals such as cocoa, iron ore, bauxite, and oil. Trump has warned Nigeria that failure to protect Christians could trigger U.S. military action. Israel Reshapes Gaza and Expands Strikes in Lebanon: U.S. troops are withdrawing from Gaza's coordination center. Israeli, Arab, and vetted Palestinian officials will manage reconstruction in a new "Green Zone," while unvetted Palestinians remain in a devastated area controlled by Hamas. Polling shows Hamas' support has risen inside Gaza, meaning roughly half the population may remain under militant control. Israel also intensified operations in Lebanon, killing Hezbollah's top military commander in a drone strike despite an ongoing ceasefire. Jewish Extremists Spark Crisis in the West Bank: Prime Minister Netanyahu convened emergency meetings after Jewish extremists torched Palestinian homes and cars in a village attack. Israeli officials say about two hundred seventy young men are responsible for the most recent incidents and vow to act. Sedition Caucus Escalates Rhetoric Against Trump: Former CIA, FBI, and military officials who now serve as Democrats in Congress released a video urging service members to resist unlawful orders from President Trump. Senator Elissa Slotkin admitted she knows of no unlawful orders but says such orders might come. Bryan calls the effort a psychological operation designed to sow confusion inside the military. Legal experts warn that service members who refuse lawful orders could face court-martial and prison. Trump Meets NYC's Socialist Mayor Elect: Zohran Mamdani met with President Trump on Friday, and the two agreed on issues such as electricity costs and housing. Mamdani later repeated his belief that Trump is a fascist and a Nazi, prompting Republican leaders like Elise Stefanik to call Mamdani a jihadist with a long documented history of radical associations. Bryan argues the evidence strongly supports Stefanik's view and warns against normalizing Mamdani's ideology. Eric Swalwell Runs for Governor of California: Representative Swalwell announced his campaign on Jimmy Kimmel Live, promising to lead the "Resistance" against Trump. Bryan revisits the long-running Chinese influence operation that targeted young California Democrats, including Swalwell, and raises questions about whether the FBI ever thoroughly investigated the network linked to his former associate Fang Fang. Good News in Medicine: Japanese researchers found that the amino acid arginine significantly reduced Alzheimer's-related plaque and inflammation in animal studies. Dosing remains experimental, but Bryan notes it could offer a promising option for families exploring right-to-try pathways.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Put a smile on your face and give joy to your taste buds… Give Masa and Vandy beef tallow chips a try today!

It's Monday, November 24th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslim terrorists abducted 300 Catholic students and staff Muslim terrorists abducted 315 Catholic students and staff from St. Mary's School in the northern region of Nigeria on Friday, reports International Christian Concern.  Those kidnapped include 303 students and 12 teachers. It's one of the worst kidnappings in the nation's history, which has tragically become a flashpoint for persecution against Catholics and Protestants. No doubt many of them are echoing the prayer of Psalm 141:1-2 where David wrote, “I call to You, Lord, come quickly to me; hear me when I call to You. May my prayer be set before You like incense.” Back in 2014, Boko Haram, an Islamic terrorist group, seized 276 Chibok schoolgirls. In addition, the Islamic State West Africa Province and Fulani Muslim herdsmen have also wreaked havoc on the West African country. The Trump administration, which designated Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern, has recently pressured the Nigerian government to do more to protect Catholics and Protestants. During the past 20 years, Nigerian Muslims have killed 50,000 Christians, displacing hundreds of thousands more. Shawn Wright, the new president of International Christian Concern, issued an urgent call to action. To the government of Nigeria, he called officials to: Deploy specialized rescue forces immediately and recover the abducted Christians without delay. Strengthen protection for Christian institutions. Address underlying persecution. And to the United States government, Shawn Wright called officials to: Immediately enact tougher economic sanctions against Nigeria. leverage assistance to Nigeria based on results. Support civil society and Christian groups in Nigeria. Use diplomatic influence there. Wright said, “When children are hauled from their dormitories, when …  teachers are terrorized, when entire communities live in the shadow of fear — silence is complicity.” Former Brazilian President arrested ahead of vigil to prevent escape Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was taken into custody on Saturday, hours before a vigil was to be held outside his residence, reports One America News. On Saturday, the former president's period of house arrest ended after having been confined since August for violating a ban on the use of social media. Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son, posted a video on Friday calling for a vigil in front of his father's condominium where Javier was under house arrest. Flavio said, “I invite you to fight with us.” Brazil's Supreme Court ruled that the planned vigil could “cause serious harm to public order,” and potentially prevent Bolsonaro from being arrested or enable his “escape.” Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes said that Bolsonaro violated his ankle monitor early Saturday morning. President Donald Trump, a long-term ally of Bolsonaro, denounced the charges against the former Brazilian leader as politically motivated, calling it a “witch hunt.” He imposed a 50% tariff on United States imports of Brazilian goods in response, which Trump began to roll back this month following a meeting with current President Luiz da Silva. Canadian pork producer objects to unlabeled lab-grown meat One of Canada's largest organic pork producers says the public deserves clear labelling, and a real choice before cloned meat hits supermarket shelves, reports Rebel News. Normally, experimental items like this fall under Canada's novel foods category, requiring a thorough pre-market safety assessment. This framework mandates that developers provide detailed data on production, contaminants, allergens, toxins, and nutrition. Health Canada reviews typically take about 410 days. However, Health Canada quietly released a statement on November 13th concluding, based on "all available information" and "scientific opinion," that foods from lab-grown clones of healthy cattle and swine are as safe as those from traditionally bred animals. This lab-grown meat has rightly been dubbed “franken-beef” like Frankenstein, the grotesque humanoid character, created in the imagination of Mary Shelley in 1818, who was put together using different body parts from fresh graves and vaults of skeletal remains. Health Canada has innocuously labeled the lab-grown meat as “cellular agriculture.” Proverbs 12:22 says, “The LORD detests lying lips, but He delights in people who are trustworthy.” Tamara Ugolini of Rebel News offered this warning to Canadians. UGOLINI: “Health Canada has decided there's no meaningful difference between lab-grown, cloned meat and real life grown meat. So, no labels, no warnings, and, once again, no transparency from the agency allegedly dedicated to regulatory openness and transparency.” Vincent Breton, a legitimate live pork producer, said, “Consumers should have the right to decide for themselves whether they are going to buy genetically modified foods.” Marjorie Taylor Greene resigns from Congress after clash with Trump Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Make America Great Again firebrand who rose to prominence as a combative supporter of President Donald Trump, announced late Friday she is resigning from Congress after a public feud with him, reports Politico.com. Greene, who was elected to Congress in 2020 from a rural northwestern Georgia district, made the surprise announcement in an 11-minute video address. She cited her willingness to oppose the Democratic agenda which was costly on a personal level. GREENE: “I have fought against Democrats' damaging policies like the Green New Deal, wide open, deadly, unsafe border policies, and the trans agenda on children and against women. With that has brought years of non-stop, never-ending personal attacks, death threats, lawfare, ridiculous slander and lies about me that most people could never withstand even for a single day.” She also noted the handful of differences she had with President Trump. GREENE: “I never changed or went back on my campaign promises and only disagreed in a few areas, like my stance against H-1B replacing American jobs, AI state moratoriums, debt-for-life-50-year-mortgage scams, standing strongly against all involvement in foreign wars and demanding the release of the Epstein files. Other than that, my voting record has been solidly with my party and the president. “Loyalty should be a two-way street, and we should be able to vote our conscience and represent our district's interests because our job title is literally Representative.'” Congresswoman Greene highlighted her disagreement with President Trump over the Epstein files. GREENE: “Standing up for American women who were raped at 14 years old, trafficked and used by rich, powerful men should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for.” She did not want to go through a bruising Republican primary in the spring. GREENE: “I do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President that we all fought for, only to fight and win my election, while Republicans will likely lose the midterms, and, in turn, be expected to defend the President against impeachment after he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me.” That's what led to her surprise resignation announcement. GREENE: “I'll be resigning from office, with my last day being January, 5, 2026.” Stray mutt gets award for comforting families after school shooting And finally, a stray mutt that turned into a service dog, soothing kids after a school shooting, has just been crowned the 2025 Hero Dog Award by the American Humane Society, reports GoodNewsNetwork.org. Sgt. Bo, the mixed breed from Nashville, Tennessee, may have started as a stray, but after being rescued off the streets of Florida in 2022, and trained for 12 weeks by prisoners in Brevard County, the four-year-old mutt became a certified therapy dog with the Nashville Police Department. Just three months into his service with Officer Faye Okert, tragedy struck when a transgender killed three students and three teachers at the city's Covenant School. Sgt. Bo was called to help comfort children and families at the reunification site—climbing onto buses, letting shaken students rest against him, and staying until the last family left. Since then, he has continued visiting schools across the community, helping kids open up, easing anxiety, and reminding everyone that healing can come from the most unexpected places.

1. Michelle Obama and Presidential Politics The discussion begins with Michelle Obama’s comments about not running for President of the United States. She stated that America is “not ready for a woman president,” citing sexism and societal immaturity. Her stance is arrogant and condescending, and she argues that Democrats blame election losses on bigotry rather than policy failures. Historical comparisons are made to how Democrats shifted toward the center after losing multiple elections in the 1980s. 2. Sports Gambling and Corruption The conversation shifts to sports betting, particularly prop bets (bets on specific aspects of a game rather than the outcome). Allegations of corruption in Major League Baseball (MLB) and the NBA are discussed, including: Criminal indictments against players accused of manipulating game elements for profit. Example: Cleveland Guardians pitchers allegedly threw pitches to influence bets, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars. Broader concerns about integrity in sports and the potential need for congressional action are raised. Prop bets create incentives for individual players to cheat because they can control outcomes like pitch speed or fouls. 3. Persecution of Christians in Nigeria The final section addresses religious persecution, focusing on radical Islamic terrorism in Nigeria. Boko Haram is identified as a major perpetrator, responsible for killing over 50,000 Christians since 2009 and destroying thousands of churches and schools. The discussion highlights U.S. legislative efforts to designate Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and impose sanctions on complicit officials. Former President Trump’s tweet acknowledging the crisis and calling for action is quoted. The speakers criticize Tucker Carlson for allegedly downplaying or dismissing the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, linking this stance to broader issues of antisemitism and extremism.

Congressman Tim Burchett has been very outspoken about the Epstein files, today he is with me to break down everything going on in Congress. Democrats continue to look foolish and culpable as more and more Epstein information comes to light. Rep. Burchett has seen how messy the Epstein case is and is worried about victims' privacy and the graphic nature of the over 50,000 pages of information. The Senators that got spied on tried to pay themselves $500,000 per violation in the Arctic Frost scandal. Thankfully, the House is shutting down this selfish act that the Senate tried to sneak into a funding package. Congressman Burchett calls Washington D.C. as sewer more than a swamp and wants to see an end to Congress making 500-600% returns through stock trading. The Socialist wing is now the forefront of the Democratic party and AOC could take Chuck Schumer's seat anytime she wants. It's time for Republicans to wake up cause we are one vote cycle away from losing the country. Ambassador Mike Waltz has teamed up with Nicki Minaj to bring awareness to Christian persecution. Nigeria has been ravaged by Boko Haram, a Muslim extremist group that has literally been slaughtering Christian in their places of worship. President Trump has issued a stern warning to the government of Nigeria and Ambassador Waltz is here to fill us in everything that is happening. Featuring: Rep.

A Nigéria vive um dos piores massacres religiosos do século XXI — e quase ninguém fala sobre isso. Neste vídeo da Brasil Paralelo, você entenderá como grupos extremistas islâmicos promovem o genocídio de cristãos, como o governo nigeriano ignora a tragédia e por que a grande mídia silencia diante de um dos maiores crimes de nosso tempo. Em um país dividido por religião e história colonial, a perseguição aos cristãos se intensificou nas últimas décadas. Milícias Fulani, Boko Haram e o Estado Islâmico da África Ocidental espalham terror, destroem vilarejos e impõem a morte a quem se recusa a negar a fé. Enquanto isso, o mundo observa em silêncio. A Nigéria concentra 89% de todos os assassinatos de cristãos no planeta, e mais de 50 mil pessoas foram mortas desde 2009. Apesar das denúncias e das imagens brutais, a tragédia permanece invisível. Neste vídeo, revelamos as origens do conflito, a responsabilidade do governo, a omissão internacional e o papel da África como o novo centro da fé cristã no mundo.

Au Nigeria, deux opérations portées par l'armée et par l'État de Borno ont facilité la réintégration dans la société de dizaines de milliers de repentis de Boko Haram et de l'ISWAP. Pour relancer l'économie de son État essentiellement agricole, le gouverneur Babagana Zulum a organisé le retour de déplacés internes dans leur communauté d'origine. Officiellement, il n'y a plus de camps de déplacés à Maiduguri, pourtant des milliers de familles vivent dans des conditions de vie difficile dans des camps informels de la capitale de l'État de Borno. De notre correspondant de retour de Maiguduri, Souriante devant ses enfants, Yakura dissimule des blessures psychologiques profondes. Kirenowa, sa ville d'origine près du Lac Tchad, est dans une zone sous contrôle de l'ISWAP Et aujourd'hui encore, Yakura reste marquée par le son des armes automatiques lorsque Kirenowa fut attaquée en mai 2014. « Nous avons commencé à entendre des coups de feu. On a cru à une mauvaise blague. Puis la situation a dégénéré. Les gens se sont mis à courir. Quant à nous, nous sommes coincés sur place pendant 10 jours. La plupart du temps, les membres de Boko Haram revenaient dans la communauté. Le soir ou le matin. » Kingibe vit avec sa famille pas très loin de l'emplacement de Yakura Handicapé par une blessure non soignée depuis 7 ans, Kingibe a des difficultés à se déplacer. Il passe ses journées assis sur un tapis à égrener un chapelet musulman. Et avec la recrudescence des kidnappings dans la périphérie de Maiduguri, cet homme d'âge mûr ne sort quasiment plus du camp. « Si les membres de Boko Haram enlèvent une personne, ils exigent une rançon de 5 à 10 millions de nairas. J'ai à peine 500 nairas par mois. Dans ces conditions, comment payer une telle somme ? Comment aller cultiver la terre pour nous nourrir alors que la brousse n'est pas sûre et qu'à seulement 2 km de distance d'ici, ils peuvent nous capturer ? » « Une personne pauvre ne peut pas survivre sans cultiver » Durant plus de 10 ans, Kingibe a difficilement accepté de dépendre des distributions de vivres. Depuis deux ans, ces distributions ont cessé suite au décret local fermant les camps à l'intérieur de Maiduguri. Or pour Kingibe, c'est un cauchemar sans fin de voir ses enfants pleurer de faim. Car cet agriculteur ne peut plus accéder à son champ dans son village près de Marte, à plus de 130 km de Maiduguri : « De nombreuses personnes qui sont retournées à Marte ont été attaquées par les membres de Boko Haram. Puis ces familles ont été déplacées à Dikwa. Avant de revenir nouveau Maiduguri sur instruction du gouverneur Babagana Zulum avec un soutien alimentaire pas trop long. Plus tard, certaines familles sont retournées à Marte, mais d'autres vivent toujours ici. Sans pouvoir cultiver, une personne pauvre ne peut pas survivre. » Pour nourrir sa famille, Kingibe envisage de vendre la tente humanitaire qui leur sert de logement. Plusieurs de ses voisins l'ont déjà fait, laissant vide ainsi de nombreux espaces dans ce camp informel.

À Washington, le Congrès américain doit examiner ce jeudi la requête de Donald Trump, qui veut intégrer le Nigeria à la liste des pays « particulièrement préoccupants » en matière de liberté religieuse. Ce vote tombera 48 heures après l'attaque meurtrière d'une église de l'Ouest du pays pendant une messe retransmise en direct. Les chrétiens sont-ils vraiment persécutés au Nigeria ? Quelles seraient les conséquences d'un vote pro-Trump au Congrès ? Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos est directeur de recherches à l'IRD, l'Institut de Recherche pour le Développement. Il répond à Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos, est-ce que les chrétiens sont persécutés au Nigeria ?   Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos : Il peut y avoir certaines zones où il y a des discriminations contre les minorités. Donc en l'occurrence confessionnelles, ça peut être des mouvements évangéliques ou même des catholiques, notamment dans le Nord à dominante musulmane. Mais il faut voir qu'à l'inverse, les musulmans peuvent aussi être victimes de ces discriminations dans des régions à dominante chrétienne, plutôt dans le sud-est par exemple. Alors il y avait une attaque qui avait frappé les esprits. C'était le jour de Noël de l'année 2012. C'était dans la région d'Abuja, à Matala Zuba précisément. Un commando armé avait attaqué une église en pleine messe de Noël. Le prêtre et cinq fidèles avaient été tués. Oui, il y a quelquefois des églises qui sont prises pour cible, notamment par des groupes jihadistes comme la mouvance Boko Haram dans le nord-est, qui là, en l'occurrence, avait frappé plus dans la région centrale autour de la capitale fédérale. Il faut savoir que dans les nombreuses violences qui agitent le Nigeria, il y a également des mosquées qui sont prises pour cible et qui vont être brûlées, qui vont être attaquées, pas forcément d'ailleurs par des chrétiens. Souvent, les groupes jihadistes s'en prennent d'abord aux musulmans, et l'essentiel des victimes, par exemple de Boko Haram, ce sont des musulmans, rappelons-le, parce que c'est mathématique. Ils agissent dans une région qui est surtout peuplée de musulmans. Leurs victimes sont essentiellement civiles et parmi leurs victimes, il y a aussi effectivement des chrétiens qui peuvent être ciblés comme chrétiens. Alors tout de même, c'était le 16 novembre dernier à Rome, le pape Léon XIV s'est adressé à la foule place Saint-Pierre, en dénonçant les persécutions des chrétiens à travers le monde, notamment « au Bangladesh, au Nigeria, au Mozambique et au Soudan ». Oui, alors il y a un index qui sort sur les persécutions des chrétiens dans le monde et qui donc fait état d'homicides en arguant que ces personnes sont tuées non pas pour être dépouillées, volées de leur voiture ou de leur portefeuille, mais bien à cause de leur dénomination chrétienne. En réalité, il y a des chrétiens qui sont ciblés au Nigeria dans le cadre de conflits fonciers, notamment dans la ceinture centrale du Nigeria, qui voient des éleveurs musulmans s'opposer à des cultivateurs chrétiens. Et là, effectivement, les églises peuvent être des marqueurs identitaires. Donc, on va brûler un village, on va aussi s'en prendre à une église. Ça peut être aussi des lieux de refuge. Et donc effectivement, là, on voit aussi des ciblages autour de lieux de culte qui visent explicitement les chrétiens. Mais derrière, les dessous de ces conflits ne sont pas fondamentalement d'ordre confessionnel. Ce n'est pas sur la manière de prier ou de croire. Ce sont d'abord des conflits fonciers, des conflits politiques, sur le partage du pouvoir, sur la compétition pour les ressources. Et puis, ne l'oublions pas, au Nigeria, plus de 200 millions d'habitants, il y a une pression démographique qui s'accroît. Et donc, dans certains cas, on voit que ces conflits fonciers opposent des chrétiens aux musulmans. Que pensez-vous de Donald Trump qui accuse le président Bola Tinubu de tolérer les meurtres de chrétiens par des terroristes islamistes ? Oui, alors le point important, c'est qu'il n'accuse pas le gouvernement de commettre le génocide lui-même mais de laisser faire. Donc effectivement, il y a un gros problème au niveau de l'appareil coercitif du Nigeria avec une police qui, disons, ne performe pas, qui n'est pas professionnelle, qui tue énormément aussi beaucoup de civils. La même chose pour l'armée. Il se trouve qu'en plus il y a une configuration en ce moment politique au Nigeria qui fait que le président est musulman et le vice-président est également musulman. Or, d'habitude, il y a une règle non-écrite, ce n'est pas une règle constitutionnelle, mais qui veut que si le président est musulman, son vice-président sera chrétien et inversement. Donc là, on a une configuration un peu particulière qui va donner du grain à moudre aussi sur tous ces lobbys évangéliques qui s'en prennent aux musulmans, à l'élite musulmane du nord qui est accusée de laisser faire les « terroristes peuls », puisque les éleveurs peuls sont tous rangés dans la catégorie des terroristes, ce qui tend à donner une dimension très ethnique à ces conflits, quoi qu'il en soit de leur aspect confessionnel. Aujourd'hui, cette croisade en faveur des chrétiens du Nigeria est renforcée par une superstar du rap américain, Nicki Minaj. Est-ce que cela ne pèse pas dans l'opinion publique américaine et dans le vote à venir du Congrès américain ce jeudi ? Alors, le fait qu'il y ait des stars du rap qui s'engagent effectivement dans cette campagne va évidemment jouer en faveur des lobbys évangéliques du Nigeria qui pressent le Congrès de mettre en place des sanctions économiques. Alors eux demandent des sanctions économiques, ils ne demandent pas une intervention militaire. Et de toute façon, même les leaders chrétiens du Nigeria se sont opposés à l'éventualité d'une intervention militaire américaine qui, dans tous les cas, est complètement improbable. C'est le pays le plus peuplé d'Afrique. On ne voit pas très bien comment l'armée américaine pourrait intervenir dans un terrain plus que compliqué, puisque là, vous allez poster des soldats américains autour de chaque église de l'Etat du Plateau, dans le centre du pays. Ça n'a absolument aucun sens. À lire aussiLes propos de Trump sur le Nigeria sont «irresponsables et criminels», dit le prix Nobel Wole Soyinka

En s'inspirant du « Sul hu » un mécanisme islamique de justice traditionnelle, le Nigeria développe des programmes de déradicalisation et de réintégration. L'armée nigériane et l'État de Borno portent depuis 10 ans cette tentative de réconciliation avec des ex-membres de Boko Haram et de l'ISWAP, non-auteurs de crimes de masse. Ces repentis suivent alors des sessions individualisées et collectives avec notamment des interventions d'experts en théologie musulmane pour déconstruire leurs discours radicaux. Et dans certains cas critiques, ils bénéficient d'une assistance médicale et psychologique. Si peu d'acteurs de ces programmes acceptent de témoigner à visage découvert :  Mustapha Ali et Mohammed Abdullahi deux experts en déradicalisation, ont choisi de le faire. Ils dévoilent les coulisses de leurs interventions. De notre correspondant à Nigeria Plusieurs fois par semaine, Mustapha Ali se ressource sous les arbres du centre islamique Imam Malik. Une nécessité vitale pour ce quinquagénaire à la fine barbe. Depuis cinq ans, ce docteur en théologie musulmane intervient dans des programmes de déradicalisation. Et pour Mustapha Ali, c'est d'abord une bataille intime : « C'est d'abord se confronter à des individus, à une idéologie toxique. Ils pourraient même essayer de me tuer, peut-être. Donc encore jusqu'à aujourd'hui, j'ai toujours peur. Quand vous êtes assis avec eux, vous voyez qu'ils sont très durs. En entendant Les mots qu'ils utilisent lorsque vous discutez d'un sujet avec eux, vous devez les calmer en leur disant que vous êtes frères, en les conseillant. » Faire abstraction des crimes commis par ces repentis, établir une relation d'humain à humain. C'est un sacré défi pour Mustapha Ali. Sur au moins 15 séances, cet expert islamique livre une bataille idéologique devant des petits groupes d'endoctrinés. En se basant sur le Coran, il déconstruit régulièrement la question du Djihad, qui signifie abnégation, effort en arabe. « J'ai organisé une session avec vingt hommes qui revenaient de la brousse. Et ils croyaient que ce qu'ils faisaient était bien. Certains d'entre eux étaient juges ou prédicateurs lorsqu'ils étaient à Sambisa. Et au cours de cette délibération, je leur ai fait réaliser leur erreur. Et après la délibération, beaucoup d'entre eux ont même pleuré. Ils étaient traumatisés. Nous avons même dû demander à des médecins d'intervenir. » « Cela prend du temps » Comme Mustapha Ali, Mohammed Abdullahi sort de sa zone de confort universitaire pour mieux se confronter à l'extrémisme salafiste. Lui aussi anime des ateliers de déradicalisation. Mais Mohammed Abdullahi pratique également des médiations entre victimes et des repentis de Boko Haram, pour faciliter leur réintégration dans la société. « Vous restez toujours polis avec eux. Cela prend du temps, mais vous utilisez la logique, la religion, l'histoire. Vous faites des démonstrations par petits pas, en vous appuyant sur les pratiques du prophète Mahomet. Parfois, lorsqu'ils prennent conscience, alors ils commencent à rire. » Tendre la main aux repentis alors que Boko Haram et l'ISWAP continuent de frapper. Mohammed Abdullahi comprend que cette approche soit difficile à saisir pour beaucoup de personnes. Mais pour lui, c'est la voie la plus solide pour éradiquer à long terme l'idéologie islamiste radicale au nord-est du Nigeria.

La secte terroriste connue sous le nom Boko Haram a lancé une insurrection armée en 2009 pour établir un État islamique, tuant des dizaines de milliers de personnes et déplaçant plus de deux millions dans le nord-est du Nigeria. Pour résoudre cette crise sécuritaire et humanitaire qui frappe également les pays voisins, Abuja a lancé plusieurs programmes de réconciliation et de réintégration pour favoriser les défections dans les rangs de Boko Haram et de l'Iswap. Une perspective qui indigne certaines victimes, qui se sentent abandonnées par l'État. De notre correspondant au Nigeria,  La colère ne quitte plus Aisha. En 2011, son fils est pris dans une énorme rafle de l'armée nigériane, car il était suspecté, comme des milliers d'hommes, d'être un Boko Haram. Aujourd'hui, Aisha ne sait pas si son enfant est encore vivant. Et malgré les intimidations, cette septuagénaire au visage fin et tatoué, hurle à l'injustice à la face des autorités politiques et militaires qu'elle croise dans Maiduguri. « Le gouvernement fédéral ne nous reconnaît pas comme citoyens nigérians. Pourquoi il accepte les repentis ? Et en plus, il les réintègre dans la communauté ? Pourquoi l'armée ne libère-t-elle pas nos enfants pour qu'on puisse connaître la vérité ? Le gouvernement incarcère nos enfants sans jugement et accepte les repentis de Boko Haram. Ce n'est pas cela la justice pour moi », dénonce Aisha. Abba Ashigar réajuste sa prothèse orthopédique remplaçant sa jambe gauche : cet étudiant a survécu à un attentat suicide. Le 16 janvier 2017, il entre avec son père et son jeune frère dans une des mosquées du campus de l'Université de Maiduguri. À peine l'imam démarre la prière de l'aube, un kamikaze déclenche son engin explosif. « Même si vous voulez pardonner, vous ne saurez pas vraiment ce que vous pouvez pardonner. Voulez-vous dire que je dois pardonner à ceux qui ont commis un attentat suicide dans la mosquée ? Ou à ceux qui ont organisé cet attentat ? Ou à ceux qui les ont financés ? Qui dois-je pardonner ? », interroge Abba. À lire aussiNigeria: comment j'ai basculé dans Boko Haram [1/5] Le jeune frère d'Abba, ainsi que trois autres personnes, ont succombé à leurs blessures. Abba est encore marqué psychologiquement par ce drame même s'il se dit fort.

Ceux qui ont massacré votre mère sous vos yeux. Ceux qui ont massacré votre père, vos voisins. Ou ceux qui ont commis des attentats-suicides contre vous. Les ramener simplement dans la ville, puis dire : "Ce sont des repentis". Pourquoi se repentiraient-ils devant nous ? » Loin de se laisser abattre, Abba se concentre sur son master en statistiques.

It's Tuesday, November 18th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian Muslims abduct 7 people in Borno State, Nigeria Persecution.org reports that seven people have been abducted in Chibok in Borno State, Nigeria, Africa. Boko Haram, the Muslim terrorist group, is suspected of involvement in this kidnapping of mothers and their children, including two daughters of a local pastor and an infant.   One resident described the atmosphere in the area as shock and fear.  She said, “I'm shocked and saddened by the attack. … My heart goes out to the families of the abducted. It's heartbreaking that this is happening weekly in Chibok. The silence is deafening — we must demand action from our leaders and support our troops to bring an end to this senseless violence.” 25 girls kidnapped in Kebbi State, Nigeria And this just in. The Associated Press reports that 25 girls were kidnapped yesterday morning from a high school in Kebbi State, Nigeria. Nigerian military opened fire on police in Benue State, Nigeria Meanwhile, the Nigerian military opened fire on a police patrol in Benue State last week. The patrol was offering protection to villagers from Fulani Muslim terrorists. Just another incident marking the unravelling of the social and political state of the Nigerian nation.  Congress might impose sanctions on Nigeria The United States House of Representatives Subcommittee on Africa has scheduled an open hearing this Thursday on the President's recent designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern. If ratified by the Senate, the designation would allow the U.S. to impose sanctions on Nigerian government officials found complicit in religious persecution. German authorities targeting homeschooling and Christian schooling Homeschooling and Christian schooling are under attack in Germany, again. The Dietrich Bonhoeffer International School in Germany is a part-homeschool and part-Christian school hybrid. After three court hearings over the last six years, education authorities are not forcing school closure. Two partner schools have been denied accreditation by German authorities.   Alliance Defending Freedom International is appealing the case to the European Court of Human Rights.  In 1920, Germany introduced public school compulsory attendance, By 1939,  almost all denominational  or confessional schools in the Reich were converted into “community schools” under state control or they were closed. Keep in mind, God is in control. In Isaiah 43:15-17, God says, “I am the Lord, your Holy One, The Creator of Israel, your King.” Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters, who brings forth the chariot and horse, The army and the power, they shall lie down together, they shall not rise; They are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick.” Marco Rubio to designate Venezuelan cartel as terrorist group Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Sunday that the State Department would designate Cartel de los Soles or Cartel of the Suns as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. It will take place within a week. The cartel is believed to be headed by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his cronies.   The State Department press release promised that the United States would use “all available tools to protect our national security interests and deny funding and resources to narco-terrorists.” Since September, the U.S. military has completed 21 attacks on boats thought to be carrying drugs in the Caribbean seas.  As of Saturday, 83 people aboard ships have been killed, and 22 ships sunk.  State Department called Maduro “one of largest narco-traffickers” Not only has the State Department referred to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro as "one of the largest narco-traffickers in the world,” but also the U.S. government has offered a $50 million reward for information leading to his arrest.  Venezuela's Gross Domestic Product has sunk from $371 billion in 2013, when Madura was elected, to an estimated $107 billion this year.   HIs government is known for having killed thousands of political enemies. In his early years, Maduro was trained as a communist in Cuba, and leads the United Socialist Party of Venezuela. Venezuela, once rich oil-based country, no relies on illegal drugs Venezuela was one of the most prosperous states in South America back in the 1980s and 1990s, that is, until a left-wing politician named Hugo Chávez was elected as President in 1998. Since then, the country has shifted from an oil-based economy to a drug-based economy. Venezuelan oil production has dropped off by 75% since the late 90s. Proverbs 28:16 speaks to this: “Like a roaring lion and a charging bear Is a wicked ruler over poor people. A ruler who lacks understanding is a great oppressor, but he who hates covetousness will prolong his days.” African, Muslim & Eastern countries vs West on trust in governments The Edelman International Survey finds that the people of African, Muslim, and Eastern countries are far more optimistic about the future of their nations than the people in Western countries. Those who live in Kenya, Indonesia, India, China, and Saudi Arabia are very optimistic — over 50% believe the next generation will be better off. By contrast, the population of France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Australia, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Canada are extremely pessimistic — barely 9-20% could say the same thing. In terms of distrust of governments, the people of Japan, Germany, Spain, Colombia, and South Africa were highly distrustful. But those who live in Saudi Arabia, China, India, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia registered high trust in governments. Hollywood's economic slump And, finally, Hollywood has gone into an economic tailspin — now sporting the worst summer season in 44 years. At $3.67 billion, Tinseltown's summer box office season registered a 43% decrease from the peak year of 2013, adjusted for inflation.  Pagan worldview of How to Train Your Dragon 2025 In case you missed it, How to Train Your Dragon 2025 featured a pagan worldview with ample references to the ancient demonic gods of Odin and Thor, not to mention the witch consulting bones and magic. Jurassic Park Rebirth advocated the evolution of man, environmentalism, and the woke of feminism.   And Superman 2025 got a little political and wokey around the edges, once more setting the worldview of existentialism against the polytheism of the superheroes.

Depuis dix ans, des dizaines de milliers de membres volontaires ou forcés de Boko Haram et du groupe État islamique en Afrique de l'Ouest (Iswap) se sont rendus aux autorités du Nigeria : soit 120 000 ex-membres, selon l'armée. Le ministère de la Justice est impliqué dans le profilage de chaque cas, avec des poursuites engagées contre les auteurs de crime de masse. En parallèle, le Nigeria s'appuie des mécanismes de justice transitionnelle pour encourager ce retour des repentis dans des communautés où souvent vivent leurs victimes. Des tentatives de réconciliation collective qui se déroulent alors que les deux groupes armés islamistes attaquent toujours des localités du nord-est du Nigeria et dans les pays du bassin du lac Tchad. Rencontre avec des ex-combattants. De notre correspondant au Nigeria,  Après 15 ans de clandestinité, Umar réapprend à revivre dans Maiduguri, sa ville d'origine. Il y a deux ans, ce jeune homme au visage scarifié quittait les rangs de l'Iswap. Umar rejoint alors la capitale de l'État de Borno, pour y retrouver deux amis, Ibrahim et Aliyu, qui depuis l'hébergent dans un camp informel de déplacés internes. « Au début, quand je suis arrivé ici, je préférais le lac Tchad, parce que j'étais habitué à cette vie-là, alors quand je suis revenu ici, j'ai eu du mal à vivre, parce que je me sentais tout le temps coupable, comme si les gens m'observaient et me regardaient comme un animal et non comme un être humain », explique Umar. Umar reconnait avoir participé à de nombreux raids meurtriers de l'Iswap ces dix dernières années, sur le pourtour du lac Tchad. Umar affirme qu'il a renoncé à l'ultra-violence. Pourtant, rien ne l'atteste : « Quand j'ai tourné le dos à l'Iswap, je n'ai suivi aucune formation professionnelle, ni aucune déradicalisation, car je suis un homme d'affaires et j'ai l'habitude de travailler. J'ai donc continué à m'occuper d'achat et de vente. Je suis habitué à faire des affaires », confie Umar.

Ils ont, eux aussi, déposé leurs armes via le programme « Safe Corridor » encadré par l'armée nigériane. Et rapidement, Aliyu et Ibrahim ont intégré un groupe de miliciens volontaires, dont la majorité vit dans ce camp informel. « Les programmes de réconciliation sont utiles, car parmi tous ces gens qui se repentent, désormais certains d'entre eux viennent travailler avec nous, explique Muhammad Samaila, le commandant de ce groupe. Nous patrouillons ensemble dans la brousse. Ils guident par exemple vers tout endroit où la présence de membres de Boko Haram nous est signalée. Nous avons ainsi pu attaquer ces terroristes avec plus d'efficacité à plusieurs reprises. » Et comme ses amis Ibrahim et Aliyu, Umar a aussi rejoint ce groupe de miliciens. Ensemble, ils effectuent ces missions d'éclaireurs pour l'armée nigériane. À lire aussiNigeria: comment j'ai basculé dans Boko Haram [1/5]

What's happening with persecuted Christians in Nigeria? In this episode of the Missions Podcast, Alex and Scott talk with Larry Alex Taunton, an author and apologist, who shares his firsthand experience witnessing Christian persecution in Nigeria. Taunton recounts his journey to the country's northern region, where he saw the devastating effects of what he calls a “genocide against Christians.” He describes traveling through burned villages, military checkpoints, and communities living in constant fear of attacks by Boko Haram and Fulani militants. Through personal experience, Taunton highlights the courage of Nigerian Christians who remain steadfast in their faith despite extreme danger. His central message is that the Western church has largely ignored this persecution, and that believers in safer nations must recognize their responsibility to speak out and advocate for action. Alex and Scott end with a call to combine compassion, truth, and courage—to both confront injustice and advance the mission of Christ. Key Topics: Larry Taunton's firsthand experience in northern Nigeria and exposure to Christian persecution. The role of Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen in anti-Christian violence. The silence and suppression of the issue by Western media and international organizations. The moral and spiritual responsibility of the Western church to respond. Do you love The Missions Podcast?

Nous vous proposons une série de reportages Afrique en cinq épisodes consacrés aux programmes de justice transitionnelle que le Nigeria expérimente depuis plus de dix ans, pour inciter les défections dans les rangs de Boko Haram. L'opération « Safe Corridor » et le « Modèle du Borno » sont deux mécanismes sur lesquels s'appuient l'armée nigériane, le ministère de la Justice et le gouvernement de l'État de Borno, pour réintégrer des repentis de Boko Haram dans leur communauté d'origine ou des communautés hôtes. Selon l'armée nigériane, 120 000 ex-militants auraient quitté les rangs de Boko Haram et de l'État islamique en Afrique de l'Ouest (ISWAP). Notre correspondant a passé plusieurs semaines dans le nord-est du Nigeria pour recueillir des témoignages de victimes, d'experts en déradicalisation, mais aussi de repentis, ex-membres de Boko Haram et de l'ISWAP. Dans ce premier épisode, Moïse Gomis donne la parole à deux repentis : Kachalla et Ibrahim. Dans ce premier volet, ils nous racontent comment ils ont basculé dans l'islamisme armé. De notre correspondant au Nigeria, Kachalla s'applique à chaque coup de marteau. Il mise sur la qualité de son travail de charpentier. Pas facile de changer le regard de ses voisins, surtout quand on est un ancien Boko Haram. Fin 2014, quand Abubakar Shekau et ses troupes prennent le contrôle de Bama durant six mois, ils ne laissent pas beaucoup de choix aux hommes vivant sur place : s'engager ou bien être égorgé. « À ce moment-là, nous n'avions pas le choix. Nous étions contraints de travailler pour eux, nous ne pouvions donc pas refuser. Nous devions nous plier à leurs exigences, sinon ils nous auraient tués. Si vous ne leur obéissiez pas, ils vous disaient : "D'accord, vous n'acceptez pas notre idéologie, alors nous allons vous tuer". Nous devions donc obéir de force à ce qu'ils nous demandaient », raconte Kachalla. En 2014, Ibrahim est déjà un membre actif de l'ISWAP au Nigeria. Lui, c'est par adhésion qu'il s'enrôle à l'âge de 19 ans. Ibrahim était un fidèle de Mohammed Yusuf, le fondateur de la secte salafiste surnommée Boko Haram. À partir de 2007, comme plusieurs adeptes, Ibrahim se retranche à Markaz, le quartier de gare ferroviaire de Maiduguri. « Nous avons rejoint Mohamed Yusuf pour assister à ses cours islamiques. Nous sommes devenus tellement accros que cela nous est resté gravé dans l'esprit. Nous avons fait nos valises pour aller vivre avec notre guide spirituel jusqu'à ce que les choses dégénèrent », explique Ibrahim. « Tous les villageois étaient membres de Boko Haram » Pris dans l'engrenage, Ibrahim se radicalise malgré son attachement à ses études universitaires. C'est à travers une lettre d'adieu, remise à ses parents, qu'il coupe les ponts. Ibrahim s'exile dans la périphérie de Baga, une localité au bord du lac Tchad. « Tous les villageois étaient membres de Boko Haram. Nous avons été attirés par leur idéologie. Le jour où nous les avons rejoints, ils nous ont donné en naira l'équivalent de 650 euros et une moto neuve. Puis, ils nous ont emmenés dans leur campement. Et là, on est devenu membre à part entière », poursuit Ibrahim. Kachalla et Ibrahim, disent aujourd'hui regretter d'avoir gâché plusieurs années de leur vie. Désormais repentis, ils ont conscience de n'avoir plus le droit à l'erreur.

Dr. Rob Shumaker and Kristi Lee return with Part 2 of their conversation with Dr. Lee James Taylor White and Dr. Catherine “Kate” Abernathy, continuing the story of two conservationists whose work has shaped the future of Africa's forest elephants. Kate recounts her near-fatal encounter with a charging forest elephant during a family walk in Gabon, explaining how field instincts and a split-second decision to crawl under the animal allowed her to survive. Lee describes watching the attack unfold and the terrifying moment he prepared to distract the elephant to save her. The episode moves from that harrowing story into Lee's years leading Gabon's national parks, confronting ivory poaching networks tied to Boko Haram, and uncovering large-scale illegal logging operations. He explains how Gabon became the only country in central Africa to grow its forest elephant population during a decade when two thirds of the species were wiped out elsewhere. Kate shares how her thirty-year data set on fruiting trees and elephant body condition revealed dramatic impacts of climate change on rainforest ecosystems, and how her research network continues even after the 2023 military coup forced the family to leave Gabon. Together, they reflect on the coup, their family's evacuation, the struggle to protect conservation progress, and the future of their work. This episode highlights two voices whose science, leadership, and courage have helped protect the world's remaining forest elephants.

Government Shutdown Analysis The recent end of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history (43 days). Democrats, particularly Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, caused harm to Americans for political gain. The economic impacts: delayed flights, unpaid federal workers, halted food stamp benefits, and harm to small businesses. Predicts future political consequences and possible repeat shutdown scenarios. Includes quotes from President Trump during the signing of legislation reopening the government. Healthcare Debate Focuses on the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), labeling it as financially disastrous and unaffordable. Advocates for reforms such as health savings accounts and reducing subsidies to insurance companies. Suggests reconciliation as a legislative strategy to bypass Democratic opposition. Persecution of Christians in Nigeria Highlights severe violence against Christians by Boko Haram and other radical Islamic groups. States that over 50,000 Christians have been killed since 2009 and thousands of churches destroyed. Discusses U.S. legislative efforts to designate Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and impose sanctions on complicit officials. Criticizes Tucker Carlson for allegedly downplaying the persecution issue. Domestic Extremism & Campus Violence Violent protests by Antifa at a Turning Point USA event at UC Berkeley.

Cliff May discusses severe Christian persecution in Nigeria, which President Tinubu claims guarantees religious liberty. Attacks are carried out by Boko Haram, ISWAP, and powerful Fulani militias. May suggests jihadism acts as theological justification for Fulani nomadic herders to seize land from Christian farmers. The US could provide assistance, training, and advice to the Nigerian military to protect communities. Guest: Cliff May.

SHOW 11-13-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT BUNDESTAG COHESION AND  STABILITY. FIRST HOUR 9-915 1/2 Anatol Lieven discusses the war in Ukraine, noting the new Russian unit RubiKon hunting drone operators and the slow Russian advance on Pakovsk, aided by both innovation and old factors like fog. The conversation also covers Germany's military rearmament plans and the significant, rising influence of the populist right AFD party in German politics, which is strongly anti-immigrant and largely anti-rearmament. Guest: Anatol Lieven. 1/2 915-930 2/2 Anatol Lieven details UK Prime Minister Starmer's genuine political troubles concerning domestic policy drift and significant potential losses in upcoming regional elections. Starmer maintains prestige supporting Ukraine, though funding remains a question. A back channel to Moscow has been opened by Jonathan Powell to discuss peace, dropping the prior insistence on a ceasefire, indicating a shift in London. Guest: Anatol Lieven. 2/2 930-945 Chris Riegel, CEO of SCALA.com, states that Chinese claims of matching Nvidia's high-end chip success are largely propaganda, though China mandates domestic chip use. The US holds the AI "pole position." AI is a genuine profit driver, worth trillions to GDP, with material workforce impact expected by 2026. Guest: Chris Riegel 945-1000 Mary Anastasia O'grady reports on the assassination of Mayor Carlos Monzo in Michoacán, killed after leaving President Sheinbaum's Morena party and aggressively confronting cartels and their agricultural extortion. Sheinbaum has cooperated smartly with the US, allowing surveillance flights, and hired credible security chief García Haruch. The main challenge is whether Sheinbaum has the political will to confront the cartels, especially given the widespread belief in Morena's complicity. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Cliff May discusses severe Christian persecution in Nigeria, which President Tinubu claims guarantees religious liberty. Attacks are carried out by Boko Haram, ISWAP, and powerful Fulani militias. May suggests jihadism acts as theological justification for Fulani nomadic herders to seize land from Christian farmers. The US could provide assistance, training, and advice to the Nigerian military to protect communities. Guest: Cliff May. 1015-1030 Sadanand Dhume examines the shift in US foreign policy, where President Trump now favors Pakistan and its military chief, General Munir. This followed intense combat between India and Pakistan after a horrific terrorist attack. When the US mediated a ceasefire, Trump took credit, which embarrassed Indian Prime Minister Modi. Pakistan cleverly thanked Trump and nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize, securing his favor over India. India now needs a trade deal. Guest: Sadanand Dhume. 1030-1045 Professor Matthew Graham discusses the most powerful black hole flare ever recorded, which shone like 10 trillion suns from an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN). Material falling into the supermassive black hole forms an accretion disc, releasing intense radiation. This 10-billion-year-old event was detected using computer cameras. Graham explains that these black holes are ancient "seeds" of galaxies, acting as cosmic vacuum cleaners, such as when a large star gets shredded. Guest: Professor Matthew Graham. 1/2 1045-1100 Professor Matthew Graham details his needs for future black hole research, prioritizing a network of space telescopes with large fields of view, like the Roman space telescope, for perpetual, multi-wavelength monitoring of the sky. This "audit of the cosmos" will improve detection speed and timing. Graham encourages students to pursue black hole work, noting it is a vibrant growth area, viewing black holes as the enduring future product of the universe. Guest: Professor Matthew Graham.2/2 THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Veronique de Rugy discusses the cost of living, critiquing the administration's claims that Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper, citing the use of shrinkflation and item removal. She criticizes the proposal to send $2,000 checks, noting this Keynesian approach boosts demand, which, without increased supply, risks raising prices further. De Rugy advocates for deregulation and the elimination of tariffs (which she confirms are a tax) as the necessary supply-side solution to the affordability crisis. Guest: Veronique de Rugy. 1115-1130 Conrad Black assesses Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's new budget as anti-climactic, failing to deliver promised growth or definitive decisions on controversial policies like pipelines. However, the budget was sensible and conciliatory, avoiding conflict with the opposition, Washington, and Alberta. Carney, adopting a diplomatic style akin to a central banker, did offer serious encouragements to alleviate the housing shortage. Guest: Conrad Black. 1130-1145 Scott Winship analyzes 50 years of US median earnings, preferring the MACPI to accurately adjust for cost of living. He finds that the middle class is better off: women's earnings are up 120%, and men's are up 40–50%. Winship disputes populist theories that income inequality or the China shock are the main villains, noting that the worst period for young men was 1973–1989, predating those factors. Guest: Scott Winship.1/2 1145-1200 Scott Winship investigates the mystery of the decline in young men's earnings between 1973 and 1989. He concludes this period was not caused by accelerated immigration or women entering the workforce, as men's earnings continued to rise. The actual explanation is the unique economic combination of stagflation—high unemployment and very high inflation—that occurred until the early 1980s recession. This severe economic dynamic has not been matched since 1989. Guest: Scott Winship. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 The arrival of the US carrier Gerald Ford signals an escalating commitment to possible military solutions against Maduro's regime in Venezuela. Maduro has ordered a Cuban-style guerrilla defense, but analysts worry more about "anarchization"—wreaking havoc—if he falls. Removing Maduro and lifting sanctions could lead to necessary refinancing of Venezuela's $170 billion debt. Guest: Evan Ellis. 1/4 1215-1230 Peru faces severe political instability, evidenced by six presidents in two years and detentions for corruption. Transitional leader José Heresi is tackling rising organized crime, including a 36% jump in homicides, through a state of emergency. Meanwhile, China maintains deep-seated influence, controlling key sectors like mining, oil, and the deep-water port of Chancay. Guest: Evan Ellis.2/4 1230-1245 Honduras is holding a high-stakes, single-round election where the outcome could determine if the country returns to alignment with Taiwan or shifts to China. Election observers noted improper pressure and concerns about meddling by the ruling Libre Party. Separately, Argentina's economy under Milei is strengthening, backed by a significant US currency swap and political support. Guest: Evan Ellis. 3/4 1245-100 AM COP 30 is largely "political theater" with commitments insufficient to address climate change. Estimates suggest the crucial 1.5-degree global temperature increase will be reached by 2030. While there is increased international attention, funding remains inadequate; Brazil secured only $5.5 billion toward its $125 billion forest preservation goal. The plight of Amazonian indigenous peoples continues unaddressed. Guest: Evan Ellis.4/4 | 

Donald Trump ist überzeugt: In Nigeria begehen Islamisten einen Völkermord an Christen. Der US-Präsident droht dem bevölkerungsreichsten Land Afrikas mit einer Intervention. Die offiziellen Statistiken zur Christenverfolgung in Nigeria sind genauso gespalten wie das Land. Nigeria scheint mit dem Frontalangriff überfordert, denn es mag Trump so sehr wie kein anderes Land auf der Welt.Moderation? Kevin SchulteSie haben Fragen?

Le Mali traverse une crise énergétique exceptionnelle : files d'attente interminables devant les stations-service, coupures d'électricité, activités paralysées, conséquences d'un blocus imposé par les groupes jihadistes dans ce pays déjà parmi les plus pauvres du monde. Les invités d'Eco d'ici Eco d'ailleurs décrypte la stratégie de ceux qui ont lancé ce bras de fer économique avec le pouvoir malien dirigé par des militaires.

Die Afrika-unie Kommissie se voorsitter, Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, het teruggekap teen president Donald Trump van Amerika se bewerings van massamoorde op Christene in die noorde van Nigerië. Trump dreig met militêre optrede en beskuldig die Nigeriese regering dat hy nie, wat Trump as ʼn massaslagting op Christene in die land beskryf, keer nie. Dit is ten spyte van menseregtekenners se verklaring dat die meeste slagoffers van die gewapende Islamitiese groep, Boko Haram, Moslems is. Youssouf waarsku teen ongestaafde bewerings:

The Democrats ultimately conceded on the government shutdown, allowing a funding bill to pass that only extends through January 30th, thereby postponing the fight rather than resolving it. Plus, nearly 27 million Americans live in areas experiencing significant water scarcity or stress, a crisis barely covered by mainstream media. Also, Trump threatened military intervention in Nigeria, citing alleged genocide against Christians by Islamist militant groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP. All that more!

Leah Sharibu is a young Nigerian girl, held by Boko Haram since 2018. Andrea Picciotti-Bayer tells her story, and Tyler Blanski has some rugged wisdom for faithful dads.

PREVIEW. Violence in Nigeria and US Involvement Debate. Caleb Weiss discusses violence against Nigerian Christians by herders and jihadists. He argues the US should avoid communal conflicts. Although the US has helped fight Boko Haram and ISWAP with intelligence, Weiss doubts that air strikes will succeed, given Nigeria's failed efforts despite investing thousands of troops since 2009. 1949 NIGERIA Retry

The truth you're not hearing from the media.   In this gripping episode of Ideas Have Consequences, Larry Alex Taunton uncovers the shocking reality of a Christian genocide taking place right now in Nigeria — a crisis ignored by Western governments, mainstream media, and much of the global church.   Larry shares stories from his time on the ground in Nigeria and Egypt, where entire Christian communities live under threat from Boko Haram and Fulani militants. Churches are burned. Families slaughtered. Faith tested to the breaking point.   But this episode is more than tragedy — it's a call to action and a warning to the West. The same ideology fueling persecution abroad is taking root in our own culture, cloaked in political correctness and silence.   ✉️ Get all the content I can't share publicly directly in your inbox… https://join.larrytaunton.com/   Protect your future with Alpha Omega Gold today!

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! We’re joined by Bill Roggio from the Long War Journal to talk about the growing violence and instability across Africa and how the U.S. should respond to global conflicts. Roggio explains the complex situation in Nigeria, where Islamic State-linked groups like Boko Haram are targeting Christians amid deep-rooted communal and land disputes. He warns against U.S. military intervention, saying “every problem in the world isn’t our problem.” Brett and Bill also discuss U.S. naval movements near Venezuela, with Roggio suggesting the deployment of the USS Gerald R.

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the political turmoil in Washington, D.C. and how the recent government shutdown represents what he calls “what winning feels like.” He argues that discomfort during this process is necessary and that Americans should not want things to “go back to the way they were.” Brett suggests that Democrats have overplayed their hand, leading to potential political fallout for leaders like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.

Tune in to today's explosive edition of Joe Untamed, where we dive into the chaos tearing at America's fabric—from radical gender insanity invading women's safe spaces to jihadist plots thwarted just in time to save Halloween bloodshed. A California Gold's Gym mom gets blacklisted for daring to protest a man lurking in the women's locker room, exposing the trans agenda's war on privacy and sanity. But the real nightmare? In Dearborn, Michigan—ground zero for open-border fallout—FBI heroes under Kash Patel's watch dismantle an ISIS-wannabe "pumpkin" massacre targeting Ferndale's LGBT scene, with young Muslim plotters stockpiling AR-15s and plotting a Paris-style slaughter. How many more near-misses before we seal the borders and deport the threats? Plus, Chicago's invading hordes form a "union" to dodge rent and ICE—entitled squatters demanding handouts while real Americans foot the bill. And don't miss Mark Levin's fiery RJC rant, baying to "cancel and deplatform" right-wing truth-tellers like Tucker Carlson over Israel critiques—why fracture MAGA when unity is our superpower?Buckle up for a no-holds-barred showdown with geopolitical powerhouse Halsey English, the Substack sensation and Patreon insider who's decoding the shadows sabotaging Trump's triumph. From deep-state burrows in State and Defense leaking poison to divide his cabinet. Is the ultimate divide-and-conquer, baiting us into forever wars while real nationalists get branded traitors? Halsey's raw takes on institutional resistance, globalist vs. nationalist clashes, and purging the infiltrators will arm you to protect the movement before it's too late.We pivot to a gut-wrenching global wake-up call: the genocide unfolding in Nigeria, where 7,000+ Christians slaughtered this year alone by Boko Haram butchers—raped, beheaded, buried in mass graves—while woke influencers and MSM stay criminally silent. Trump's Truth Social thunderclap demands justice, echoing Bill Maher's roast of media cover-ups and a chilling montage of moms with babies beaten bloody. Pastors plead for intervention as caskets stack like cordwood—62,000 dead since 2000—and the Pentagon drops a stark warning to these faith-killers. Then, in our fiery reaction block, we unleash the ultimate taxpayer revolt: a blistering Fax Blast to Congress exposing Democrats' SNAP scam, where illegals gorge on $2.4M fraud rings and 59% welfare abuse via anchor babies, surging costs 40% under Biden's border betrayal. Demand the SNAP Integrity Act now—strip benefits from invaders, enforce work rules, and prosecute the grifters—or watch America starve while sanctuary scum feast. This is your battle cry—join the fight, fax your reps, and reclaim our nation before the swamp swallows us whole!

Today's Headlines: Sudan's civil war took a dark turn after the paramilitary RSF captured El Fasher, giving them full control of Darfur's major cities. The group is accused of killing hundreds and filming their own war crimes as hundreds of thousands flee. Meanwhile, Trump's threatening to send the U.S. military “guns-a-blazing” into Nigeria to “protect cherished Christians” from Boko Haram, declaring the country a “state of particular concern.” Nigerian officials politely said thanks but no thanks—they're still, you know, a sovereign nation. In Venezuela, the U.S. carried out yet another boat strike (the 15th since September), as reports suggest Trump's team is prepping direct hits on Venezuelan military targets linked to drug trafficking. In local matters, Trump's demanding Senate Republicans ditch the filibuster to end the government shutdown while partying at Mar-a-Lago as SNAP benefits expire. A judge ordered the USDA to pay SNAP recipients “as soon as possible,” but leaked emails show the agency told grocery stores not to offer discounts to hungry families. Very on-brand. In other news, the White House fired the entire Commission of Fine Arts to make way for friendlier faces on upcoming construction projects, the FBI may have overhyped a supposed Michigan “terror plot” that might've just been teenage gamers, and newly released records show JP Morgan flagged over $1 billion in suspicious Epstein-related transactions—names like Dershowitz, Wexner, and Leon Black—while both the bank and Trump's first administration looked the other way.

1. Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Personal Journey: Born in Somalia in 1969, raised in a Muslim household. Fled to the Netherlands in 1992 to escape a forced marriage. Became a Dutch citizen, studied political science, and served in the Dutch Parliament. Transitioned from Islam to atheism, and later converted to Christianity. Currently a research fellow at the Hoover Institution and founder of the AHA Foundation. 2. Defining Political Islam vs. Islam as a Religion: Hirsi Ali distinguishes between Islam as a religion and Islamism (political Islam). She describes Islamism as a totalitarian ideology aiming to establish Islamic dominance globally. Emphasizes the threat posed by groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, which she compares to a “termite infestation” due to their subversive tactics. 3. The Muslim Brotherhood: Founded in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna in Egypt. Described as a decentralized, global movement using both peaceful and violent means to infiltrate societies. Hirsi Ali and Cruz advocate for its designation as a terrorist organization in the U.S. 4.

1. Christian Persecution in Nigeria Senator Cruz highlights what he describes as a massive and underreported crisis involving the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Key points include: Over 50,000 Christians killed since 2009. 18,000 churches and 2,000 schools burned, allegedly by extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS in West Africa. Accusations that some Nigerian government officials are complicit or negligent in addressing the violence. Cruz has introduced legislation to designate Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and impose sanctions on individual officials involved in or ignoring the persecution. He criticizes the mainstream media for failing to cover the issue adequately. Public figures like Bill Maher and Van Jones are cited as supporting the claim that this is a planned genocide and that media silence is a moral failure. 2. Christian Persecution in China This section shifts to a similar story: The Chinese Communist Party’s crackdown on Christianity, particularly targeting Pastor Jin Mingri and the Zion Church. Cruz introduced a bipartisan resolution with Senator Chris Coons condemning China’s actions and urging the release of imprisoned pastors. He emphasizes the need for economic and diplomatic pressure, especially with President Trump’s upcoming meeting with President Xi Jinping. The resolution calls for respect for religious freedom and highlights China’s long-standing designation as a “Country of Particular Concern” by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. 3. DOJ Surveillance of Republican Senators Cruz discusses revelations that: The Biden DOJ and Special Counsel Jack Smith subpoenaed phone records of nine Republican senators and one House member in connection with the January 6 investigation. Cruz’s phone records were requested from AT&T, but the company refused to comply, citing constitutional protections under the Speech and Debate Clause. He frames this as political persecution and a dangerous abuse of power, likening it to Watergate. He calls for Congressional hearings and transparency to prevent future surveillance of elected officials. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
