Rose Bao is a canine behaviourist, counsellor, and coach, guided by fear-free principles and a deep respect for the emotional lives and agency of dogs and their humans. Her practice is collaborative and evidence-based, grounded in years of hands-on work across shelter rehabilitation, group classes, and private consultation, and shaped by the influence of her first dog, Bruno.She holds a first-class honours degree in biomedical engineering, with specialty focus on chronic pain, and is completing a master's in clinical animal behaviour at the University of Edinburgh. Her research interests lie in anthrozoology, with a particular focus on how agency, power, and identity intersect in dog training cultures. Drawing on her queer Australian-Chinese identity and performance practice in gender-bending burlesque, Rose contributes an intersectional social science voice to animal behaviour, situating the lived realities of dogs and their people within broader cultural and political contexts.Recent essays include Masculinity, Control, and Colonial Inheritance in 21st Century Dog Training Cultures and Anthropocentrism and the Digital Gaze in Human–Dog Interactions.With a blend of empathy, curiosity, and clinical insight, Rose seeks to reimagine dog training as a space where the agency of both dogs and humans is recognised, negotiated, and celebrated.Valli Fraser-Celin, PhD is an advocate for humane, fear/force-free dog training; she primarily shares her advocacy work through her Instagram account (@thelivesofwilddogs), where she documents life with her dogs, Husk and Sully, while promoting evidence-based approaches to canine welfare and training. Valli holds a PhD in Geography from the University of Guelph, where her doctoral research focused on human–African wild dog conflict and conservation in Botswana. She then completed postdoctoral research in Community Health Sciences at the University of Calgary, where she explored the roles of dogs in Indigenous communities across Canada. Since 2018, she has been working in the equitable access to veterinary care field, primarily in remote, Northern communities across Canada.Her scholarship has examined themes of animal agency and subjectivity, contributing to broader conversations on how human–animal relationships shape both animal welfare and community well-being. She continues to bring this perspective into her applied advocacy, emphasizing the importance of recognizing animals as sentient beings with their own experiences and needs. Through her combined academic background and hands-on experience with companion dogs, Valli bridges the gap between research and everyday practice, working to shift perspectives on how humans understand, care for, and coexist with dogs.Legal Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational purposes only and does not constitute advice or professional services by either the host nor any of the guests.

Barry has published his memoir Hey now, I am your host, Ric Gazarian. This is a special episode with Barry Hoffner. Barry is a former guest on Counting Countries and I encourage you to listen to this episode to hear his entire story. I followed Barry on IG and then connected with him over a call. Barry is an accomplished traveler but what I noted was his impressive philanthropic work in West Africa. In fact, I was so impressed I invited Barry to be a keynote speaker at the ETF in Bangkok in 2024. His story of giving back needed to be shared. Belonging To The World (affiliate) is his memoir which was published on March 3. This link will bring you to the Kindle version on Amazon. I have read this book, and I highly recommend it. The book traces Barry's life from work to travel to family. And he shared a horrific tragedy as he loses his wife in a shocking accident in Botswana. Barry turns to travel to deal with his immense grief. This is a fantastic book whether you are into extreme travel or to witness one man's resilience in the face of grief. Please remember the next Extraordinary Travel Festival will be on October 22-25 in 2026. You can join the event and use code BANGKOK. I am excited to share a new keynote speaker, Eunhee Park. She is an extraordinary traveler but not in the traditional sense of what we are familiar with in our community. Eunhee was born in North Korea, and she embarked on a dangerous journey as she escaped DPRK at the risk of losing everything as she made her way to freedom. She will share her journey with us at the ETF. Consider joining our Instagram and Facebook groups and signing up for the ETF newsletter. Any questions, please let me know. I was in Bangkok while Barry was in Hawaii for this recording. Please listen in and enjoy.

In the early 2000s, the people of a remote village in Botswana lived in fear of a mysterious witch doctor rumored to shapeshift into a leopard-humanoid creature and viciously attack unsuspecting victims. His evil spirit was even rumored to be responsible for a stings of unsolved murders which occurred years after his own death. Is this the superstition of a simple uneducated people, or could there actually be dark forces at play?

In the 1970s, her grandfather acquired the historic Grand Hotel Tremezzo — originally built in 1910 to serve Europe's aristocracy — and restored it to its former grandeur. What began as a bold entrepreneurial leap became a generational legacy rooted in independence, long-term stewardship, and an uncompromising belief in beauty.Born and raised on the shores of Lake Como — quite literally in the back corridors of the Grand Hotel Tremezzo — Valentina grew up immersed in the rhythms of hospitality. Today, she serves as both custodian and visionary for her family's portfolio, expanding it thoughtfully while preserving its soul. Alongside her parents, she led the acquisition and transformation of Passalacqua, an 18th-century villa that had been a private home for over 200 years before reopening as one of the most celebrated boutique hotels in the world.In an era dominated by global hotel groups and private equity, Valentina remains fiercely committed to family ownership, financial independence, and building for continuity — not exit. Her philosophy blends instinct with discipline, emotional intelligence with operational rigor, and above all, a deeply Italian belief in villeggiatura: the art of slow, meaningful travel.This interview was filmed at Casabianca in Lake Como, the De Santis family's art gallery showcasing their personal collection of modern and contemporary art.Interview HighlightsGrowing up inside the Grand Hotel Tremezzo and witnessing Lake Como's evolutionThe four-week auction battle that led to acquiring PassalacquaRestoring an eighteenth-century villa under Italy's preservation lawsWinning number one in the world and choosing to change nothingThe philosophy of villeggiatura and creating hotels that slow guests downThe subtle operational details that quietly define true luxuryDesigning for conviction instead of guest expectationsWhy financial independence is non-negotiableDefining success through continuity rather than exitIf you enjoyed this episode, you'll also enjoy reading The Stanza's Friday weekly newsletter.

Khatijah Rahmat, a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Germany, says she's trying to build legitimacy around the concept of animal temporality — the ability to experience time — specifically in elephants. Doing so could have implications for conservation and beyond. "How we envision an animal's relationship to time influences whether we see them as feeling, remembering beings. My aim is to encourage a more dynamic view of their place in the world when we recognize them as equally temporal beings." This week on the Mongabay Newscast, Rahmat explains three key areas of evidence for interpreting elephant temporal experience and how this knowledge could be folded into how we think about protecting elephants or animals in general. "I think it increases the depth of empathy we can have for animals," she says. "It can really push the concepts of policy … but it also can really challenge some of our current, basic assumptions about how we think about logic and evidence."

In this episode, Julia speaks with Mona about how education — formal, informal, cultural, and familial — quietly shapes the way we lead, often without us realising it.Together, they reflect on moments in their own leading where habits, preferences, and blind spots can be traced directly back to how they were educated — what was rewarded, what was discouraged, and what was never questioned. From structure and organisation to evidence, empowerment, and questioning authority, education sits deep in our Essence.The conversation explores how early learning can both strengthen and limit us. Julia and Mona talk candidly about prejudice versus judgement, the impact of failure, and the importance of learning, unlearning, and relearning as we grow. They reflect on how questioning — something encouraged in some educations and punished in others — becomes central to trust, confidence, and psychological safety in teams.Mona also shares how empathy and grace play a crucial role in leading across difference — recognising that people come with different capacities, experiences, and confidence, and that equality does not mean sameness.This episode is a reminder that leading is shaped long before our first job title — and that the work of leading well often begins with understanding, and questioning, the education that formed us.About the Guest: Mona-Lisa Danieli Mungure is an Attorney in the High Courts of Botswana and the Regional Head of a division in one of Botswana's government Ministries.

Une trentaine de pays africains sont à l'orée d'une crise de la dette. Malgré une croissance dynamique, la dette augmente très vite, et même trop vite. Gabon, Sénégal, Ghana… Au total, l'Afrique va devoir payer plus de 11 milliards de dollars de dette qui arrive à échéance cette année. Pour briser le cycle, il faut investir et transformer localement les différentes ressources. Un pays est considéré en crise de la dette lorsque son endettement devient insoutenable. Depuis le choc pétrolier de 1973, ce type de crise semble se répéter environ tous les dix ans. Celle provoquée par la pandémie de Covid-19 a laissé de nombreux pays africains englués dans des niveaux de dette élevés, malgré la bonne croissance et les instruments financiers mis en place pour amortir le choc. « La réalité, c'est une insuffisance de transformation qui nous maintient dans, on va dire, un positionnement très bas dans les chaînes de valeurs internationales, analyse l'économiste Hugues Mbadinga Madiya, ancien ministre gabonais. Donc, il faut aller de l'avant, il faut transformer un peu plus nos matières premières. Dans des pays comme le Botswana, des initiatives très importantes ont été menées en termes de transformation. Vous avez suivi aussi au Gabon, dans le secteur du bois, la valeur ajoutée du secteur bois a été multipliée par trois. » Le Sénégal, lui, doit payer à ses créanciers 485 millions de dollars, qui arrivent à échéance dans les prochaines semaines. Les pays africains paient une prime de risque élevée sur les marchés financiers. Selon l'économiste Abdoulaye Ndiaye, pour espérer s'en sortir, Dakar doit investir massivement dans certains secteurs pour réduire les dépenses : « Il y a des dépenses, qui sont des subventions énergétiques, qui sont des subventions de consommation, qui sont nécessaires. La solution, ce n'est pas uniquement de les couper, mais de voir comment, par exemple, on peut faire des investissements pour être plus productifs, pour faire des investissements pour l'électricité et l'énergie moins chers. » Des ajustements nécessaires pour l'économiste : « Et je pense que sinon, là, on a une crise de la dette au Sénégal. On en aura peut-être une aussi en 2039-2040 ». À lire aussiSénégal: «Restructurer aujourd'hui la dette, ce serait décrédibiliser les efforts fournis» Une diversification limitée mais approfondie Pour briser ces cycles de crise de la dette, la condition nécessaire, selon Hugues Mbadinga Madiya, c'est d'aller au-delà du simple équilibre des comptes publics. « Un budget bien géré, une monnaie crédible, des réserves bien gérées, c'est important, mais ce n'est pas une condition suffisante, estime l'ancien ministre gabonais. L'histoire économique mondiale nous a appris parfois que quelques pays se sont développés avec deux ou trois produits. Il faut aller justement vers une diversification avec quelques produits, mais une transformation poussée. » Le Botswana a réussi sa diversification dite verticale. Plutôt que de multiplier les secteurs, le pays a approfondi la transformation locale du diamant, secteur aujourd'hui en crise mais qui représente encore près de 80 % de ses recettes d'exportation.

Africa Highlights and Travel Lessons: Egypt Challenges, Gorilla Trekking, Vic Falls, and Cape TownTyler hosts Non Rev Lounge in Austin with returning guest Melissa and her husband Jay, longtime friends who first met Tyler on a Southwest flight and later traveled together to Hawaii. They discuss Melissa and Jay's multi-week Africa trip planned around Jay's 50th birthday, including missing Tyler's family by a few hours in South Africa due to itinerary timing. The conversation covers a difficult, budget-style stop in Egypt (Cairo) with a non-English-speaking driver, getting lost en route to the pyramids, frequent requests for money from vendors and even a police officer, confusion around museum pickup logistics, being taken to an underwhelming “bazaar,” disappointment about a cheaper-than-expected dinner cruise, and an unpleasant hotel dining payment incident; they conclude Egypt is better done via a prepaid guided tour or river cruise. They then describe traveling through Rwanda and Uganda, visiting the Kigali Genocide Museum (highly emotional and impactful, leading them to skip the planned city tour) and completing a gorilla trek in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest They also recount activities around Victoria Falls such as the Devil's Pool experience on the Zambia side (swimming across, proximity to hippos/crocodiles, and fish nibbling feet), plus zip lining, lion walking (with safety rules and notes about controversy and the operator's reluctance), rafting, and a Botswana safari near Chobe National Park and the Chobe River with many elephants. They touch on flights and logistics—using miles for British Airways into Egypt, buying some intra-Africa flights for reliability (including Ethiopian and Kenya), concerns about weight-restricted flights returning to the U.S. (ultimately flying United to Newark and onward), using candy as a thank-you (sometimes refused as a “bribe”), and doing laundry via sink washing and local services. 00:00 Welcome to NonRev Lounge + Introducing Melissa & Jay01:56 How Tyler & Melissa Met: The Southwest Flight That Started It All02:53 Buddy Passes, Hawaii Trips, and Travel Style Differences04:59 Back to Austin: Texas Weather Whiplash & Catching Up06:07 Why Africa?

In this moving episode of Tendrils of Grief, I sit down with Barry Hoffner, a widower whose life changed forever after his wife was tragically killed in a sudden accident while they were traveling in Botswana. In the wake of devastating loss, Barry made an extraordinary decision: to honor his wife by visiting every country in the world. What began as heartbreak became a journey of purpose, connection, and healing. Barry shares openly about sudden loss, trauma, widowhood, and what it means to carry love forward instead of leaving it behind. We talk about grief as transformation, continuing bonds after death, and how meaning can emerge even from unimaginable pain. This episode is a powerful reminder that love doesn't end—and that even after tragedy, life can still hold purpose, courage, and connection.

AgriSA se uitvoerende hoof, Johann Kotzé, sê die huidige bek-en-klouseer-uitbreking is 'n ernstige bedreiging vir biosekerheid en plaas boere onder finansiële druk. Hy verwelkom die rampverklaring, maar beklemtoon die sentralisering van entstowwe moet doeltreffende optrede meebring. Kotzé het dringende korttermynmaatreëls uiteengesit, insluitend om entstowwe uit Argentinië, Turkye en Botswana in te voer, privaat veeartse te betrek en nasionale inenting te belyn ten einde die uitbreking te beperk en vee in alle provinsies te beskerm:
Gemengde reaksies volg op voormalige Botswana-president Mokgweetsi Masisi wat om verskoning gevra het vir die moord op die Nchindo-broers en hul neef op die Chobe-rivier in 2020 deur lede van die Botswana weermag. Geaffekteerde gemeenskappe sê die gebaar slaag nie en doen 'n beroep op dringende gesprekke tussen Namibië en Botswana oor beweerde "skiet-om-te-dood"-voorvalle langs die gemeenskaplike grens in die Zambezi-streek. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met politieke ontleder Ndumba Kamwanyah gepraat wat sê die tyd het aangebreek vir beide regerings om gesamentlik met grensgemeenskappe te skakel en hul bekommernisse direk aan te spreek.
Die landbouministerie het 'n multisektorale vergadering oor bek-en-klouseer-voorbereiding en reaksie gehou in die hoofstad. Verskeie partye van die landbou sektor het deelgeneem aan die gesprekke. Suid Afrika het Donderdag as 'n nasionale ramp verklaar. Tydens die vergadering het die adjunk-uitvoerende direkteur van die landboudepartement, Kingsley Kwenani, weereens uitgelig wat 'n verwoestende effek bek-en-klouseer op Namibië sal hê as dit oor die grens met Botswana en Suid-Afrika sal versprei.
Weens bek-en-klouseer in naburige Suid-Afrika en Botswana, wat 'n risiko vir Namibië inhou, bly die land se jaggemeenskap op hoë gereedheidsgrondslag. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met Hannes du Plessis, die president van die Namibiese Professionele Jagvereniging, Napha, gepraat, wat sê daar is geen direkte risiko vir jagters nie. Hy het hulle egter aangespoor om streng by die veiligheidsmaatreëls wat deur die regering uiteengesit is, te hou.
Die Lewendehawe- en Lewendehawe-produkteraad doen 'n beroep op Namibiërs, besoekers en toeriste om streng te voldoen aan die voorskrifte van die Direktoraat Veeartsenykundige Dienste by alle toegangspunte om die verspreiding van bek-en-klouseer in die land te voorkom. Die siekte is tans aktief in naburige Suid-Afrika en Botswana. Die raad se waarnemende uitvoerende hoof, Goliath Tujendapi, het vanoggend tydens 'n belanghebbendeskonsultasie in Windhoek beklemtoon dat volle nakoming van kritieke belang is om die veebedryf te beskerm.
澳洲被譽為「幸運之國」（Lucky Country），藉豐饒天然資源與農業產出，維持高社會發展水平。然而，哈佛大學研究指澳洲經濟複雜指數（Economic Complexity Index, ECI）排名已跌至第 105 位，甚至低於部分發展中國家；在發達經濟體中，很少有經濟結構走向單一化，澳洲就是孤例。經濟複雜性的定義與量度經濟複雜性，不僅是多樣性的展現，更涉及知識的專門性。根據計算原理，一個經濟體的價值取決於其出口產品的知識密集度與「專門性」（Ubiquity）。例如，高技術國家出口的產品往往具有極高的技術門檻，令其他國家難以模仿。反觀澳洲，其出口結構以礦產與農產品為核心，這些產出在國際市場上雖具規模，但技術門檻相對較低且產品差異性不足，容易受國際價格週期波動影響，缺乏自主定價能力。地理與人才流失的雙重挑戰澳洲的地理位置雖使其在亞太區自成一角，但也造成了人才流動的單向性。許多具備高創新能力的澳洲企業（如獨角獸公司或影視人才）在成功後，往往選擇將總部遷往美國或歐洲市場，以追求更深的資本市場與客戶群。這種現象導致澳洲本地難以留住高技術人才，無法形成如台灣新竹科學園區那樣完整的產業鏈網絡。工業轉型與青黃不接澳洲製造業的衰退在 2016 年汽車工廠全數關閉後達到了轉捩點。隨之而來的是技術人才的斷層：早期培養的電機與機械工程師已步入退休年齡，而年輕一代則轉向門檻較高的軟體工程或 AI 領域。這種「青黃不接」的現狀，使得政府即使有意推動「澳洲未來製造計劃」（Future Made in Australia），也面臨基礎操作人才匱乏、能源成本過高以及自動化轉型緩慢的難題。結論：高中等發展陷阱目前澳洲正陷入一種特殊的發展陷阱：雖然擁有全球領先的最低工資水平與生活品質，但其生產力增長近年已放緩至 0.3% 左右。高昂的企業合規成本（Compliance Cost）與稅收制度，限制了本土中小型工業的擴張意願。許多企業選擇將非核心業務外判至東南亞，而非留在本地研發高複雜度的產品。雖然 AI 資料中心與再生能源被視為重啟工業的契機，但其對電力與水資源的大量需求，以及對高端製造技術的依賴，仍是目前難以跨越的門檻。 This is a public episode.

Landbouminister Inge Zaamwani sê Namibië sal 1,5 miljard Namibiese dollar benodig om voorkomings- en paraatheidsmaatreëls teen bek-en-klouseer te verskerp. Zaamwani het Dinsdag in die parlement gesê die toenemende nabyheid van uitbrekings in Suid-Afrika en Botswana vereis dringende en aggressiewe optrede. Zaamwani het verduidelik dat die bykomende 1,5 miljard dollar nodig is om die land se15 miljard dollar-veesektor te beskerm en toegang tot belangrike uitvoermarkte te verseker. Die kabinet het reeds 'n bykomende 57,5 miljoen dollar vir kritieke bek-en-klouseer maatreëls goedgekeur. Zaamwani het gewaarsku dat enige uitbreking in Namibië onmiddellike handelsbeperkings en langtermyn ekonomiese ontwrigting sal veroorsaak. Van die nuwe maatreëls sluit in:
Over 200 cases of the Foot and Mouth Disease have been confirmed in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province. The highly contagious viral disease that affects cows, sheep, goats and other split hoofed animals has also been confirmed in Zimbabwe, Botswana, Eswatini and Mozambique.

Following a months-long delay, the US recently renewed the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) - a key trade deal between Washington and dozens of African countries that was first enacted in 2000. AGOA enables African countries to export select goods to the US duty free. While previous US administations renewed the deal for periods of upto 10 years, President Trump's government has offered to extend it for just one year. We look at what this means for the 32 African countries that currently benefit from the agreement.And we speak to Ntungamili Raguin, the 17-year-old tennis player from Botswana who made history at the just concluded Australian Open, where he reached the round of last 16 in the junior tournament.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Bella Twine, Priya Sippy and Blessing Aderogba Technical Producer: David Nzau Senior Producer: Charles Gitonga Editors: Samuel Murunga and Maryam Abdalla
Oudpresident van Botswana, Mokgweetsi Masisi, het Namibië geprys vir die skep van 'n robuuste Grondwet wat vryhede waarborg en ontwikkeling bevorder, 35 jaar na die aanvaarding daarvan. Masisi het vanoggend tydens 'n boekbekendstelling in Windhoek gesê dat hoewel Namibië en Botswana se grondwette onder verskillende omstandighede gevorm is, hulle duidelike ooreenkomste deel.
Leon Kachelhoffer, the current operator in the NG13 elephant hunting block in northern Botswana joins Robbie to talk about what it's like to operate in this hotspot. This episode was purposefully created so that we can unpack everything that has happened in the NG13 hunting block of Botswana. It has been a block that has made headlines news from 2022 when a big 100 pound elephant was taken there - ever since there has been a lo of anti hunting rhetoric, alongside issues of corruption, and more. We talked to Leon 2 weeks ago to get an idea of what is going on.

What happens when states experience a rapid increase in resource wealth? This book examines the significant diamond find in eastern Zimbabwe in 2006, possibly the largest in over 100 years, and its influence on the institutional trajectory of the country. In Zimbabwe's Diamond Trade: The State, Resource Politics and Development (Cambridge UP, 2025) Dr. Nathan Munier examines how this rapid increase in resource production shaped the policies available to political actors, providing a fresh understanding of the perpetuation of ZANU-PF rule and the variation in the trajectory of institutions in Zimbabwe compared to other Southern African states. This study places Zimbabwe amongst the overall population of resource-wealthy countries such as Angola, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, especially those that experience a significant increase in production. In doing so, Dr. Munier contributes to the understanding of resource politics, political economy, and comparative African politics. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Bienvenue dans ce supplément du Grand reportage consacré aux peintures rupestres et au cannabis. À l'autre bout du continent, en Afrique australe, sa préhistoire. Encore bien cachées dans la nature, des grottes et des pierres portent les souvenirs des chasseurs cueilleurs. Il s'agit de gravures de peintures rupestres, la datation est imprécise mais on parle de milliers d'années. En 2è partie: le cannabis avec sa culture légale au Maroc, alternative à la production d'herbe, avec Matthias Raynal. Afrique australe : percer les secrets des peintures rupestres En Afrique australe, cachée au cœur de la nature d'aujourd'hui, se trouve la mémoire des chasseurs cueilleurs d'hier. Les plus anciens habitants connus de la région ont laissé derrière eux une multitude de peintures rupestres sur les parois des grottes et les rochers. Des milliers de sites renferment ce patrimoine archéologique : au Zimbabwe, au Botswana, au Lesotho, ou encore en Afrique du Sud. Et on s'interroge sur l'âge, la signification de ces témoignages, et sur le mode de vie de ces sociétés anciennes. Un Grand reportage de Claire Bargelès qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. Au royaume du cannabis, la révolution du chanvre légal Le Maroc est réputé à travers le monde entier pour la qualité de sa résine de cannabis. C'est le plus gros producteur de la planète. Problème, jusque-là, seuls les narcotrafiquants en profitaient réellement, exploitant un terroir unique dans le nord du pays. À flanc de montagnes, dans le Rif, les champs de marijuana s'étendent à perte de vue. Il y a quelques années, l'idée a germé dans l'esprit des autorités : extirper cette économie de l'illicite et de l'informel, pour en faire une culture légale. Agriculteurs, coopératives de transformation, exportateurs, une nouvelle filière se déploie. Un Grand reportage de Matthias Raynal qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

Africa's beauty and personal care industry is growing, as more people look to achieve glowing skin and the perfect make up look. But many products on the market still do not cater to black skin. Last year, a study by US-based Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that over 3000 beauty products targeting black women contain health hazards.

According to the World Health Organisation, cervical cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer, yet it kills over 350,000 women globally every year.

‘All they have seen is a 40-year rule that has resulted in high unemployment rates, poor services, and an increased violation of human rights. This young population is yearning to see a different president, a different kind of Uganda.'Catherine Byaruhanga speaks to human rights lawyer and activist Nicholas Opiyo about Ugandan politics, the rule of law, and the impact of 40 years of one leader on the nation.He's taken on multiple cases of national significance, including successfully overturning the country's anti-LGBTQ legislation back in 2014 - although this has since been re-instated, and represented a former rebel commander of the Lord's Resistance Army.Opiyo has also represented Ugandan opposition politician Bobi Wine, who, despite previously being arrested and charged with treason in 2018, challenged the 81-year-old incumbent President Yoweri Museveni in January's disputed elections.These elections were watched from afar by Opiyo, who was recently forced to flee his home country for his own safety, but still continues his human rights work.
