Au Mali, cela fait un mois que Mountaga Tall, avocat, ancien ministre et défenseur de la démocratie, a été enlevé par la Sécurité d'État, et qu'il est détenu au secret en dehors de tout cadre légal. Son fils a subi le même sort, ainsi que d'autres militants pro-démocratie, des militaires et des religieux. Ces enlèvements ont commencé après les attaques massives du 25 avril, menées par les jihadistes du Jnim et les indépendantistes du FLA. Mamadou Ismaïla Konaté est avocat, ancien ministre malien de la Justice et opposant des militaires au pouvoir depuis six ans sans élections. Interrogé par David Baché, il évoque le sort de Mountaga Tall, l'instrumentalisation de la lutte antiterroriste et la soumission de la justice malienne. Il rappelle également son aversion pour le terrorisme jihadiste, la responsabilité du régime de transition et explique les raisons pour lesquelles il n'a pas rallié la Coalition des forces pour la République (CFR), la coalition d'opposition de l'imam Dicko. RFI : Cela fait tout juste un mois que Maître Mountaga Tall a été enlevé et qu'il est détenu dans un lieu inconnu par la Sécurité d'État. Sa famille, ses avocats, la Conférence internationale des barreaux demandent en vain qu'il soit libéré ou présenté à un juge, le respect du droit. Pensez-vous que les autorités de Transition entendent ces appels ? Maître Konaté : Si je suis personnellement sceptique, pour autant, ces autorités doivent entendre raison et loi. Elles doivent se rendre compte que nul ne doit être privé de sa liberté en dehors du cadre de la loi. Même si dans le contexte actuel on n'est pas dans un État de droit, il faut quand même rappeler à ces autorités que l'État de droit se mesure notamment à la manière dont il traite ses opposants, ses critiques et ses avocats. Il est inadmissible qu'un citoyen, politique par ailleurs mais avocat de son état, n'ait jamais été visité, ni par des médecins, encore moins par des avocats et encore moins par le bâtonnier de l'ordre des avocats. Après le communiqué virulent du bâtonnier lui-même, les autorités militaires du Mali n'ont pas trouvé mieux que de s'en prendre à son fils et de l'enlever. C'est une escalade qui n'est pas supportable.  Effectivement, après Mountaga Tall, son propre fils et d'autres opposants politiques ont connu le même sort. Des militaires et des responsables religieux aussi. On sait que la Justice militaire enquête sur des soupçons de complicité avec les groupes armés lors des attaques du 25 avril. Aucun lien n'a été fait officiellement entre cette enquête et ces enlèvements, mais la stratégie implicite des autorités, relayée par leurs soutiens, c'est de justifier cette pratique par la lutte antiterroriste… Et ça semble convenir à une partie des Maliens, non ? Il faut expliquer à ces Maliens que la lutte contre le terrorisme ne saurait justifier l'insécurité juridique. Un camp militaire n'est pas une juridiction. La détention régulière se prouve, l'arbitraire, lui, se dissimule et on est dans un contexte d'arbitraire total. Aujourd'hui, il s'agit de Mountaga Tall mais, demain, il s'agira de bien d'autres personnes et c'est bien pour cela que même dans un contexte de lutte contre le terrorisme, il est important que le cadre juridique soit préservé, que la justice soit au début et à la fin. Justement, au-delà de cette affaire, on voit que la justice malienne a condamné l'ancien premier ministre Moussa Mara à un an de prison ferme pour un tweet – il exprimait son espoir que « le jour » succède à « la nuit » –, alors que les soutiens de la Transition peuvent appeler à lyncher des militants pro-démocratie ou à brûler les boutiques tenues par des Mauritaniens. Est-ce que la justice malienne est acquise ou soumise aux autorités de Transition ?   Bien évidemment, cette justice, qui doit préserver l'ordre et la sécurité publique, donne l'impression de se coucher et d'être plutôt soumise aujourd'hui. Et cette justice doit prendre conscience qu'elle n'est pas au service d'un régime, fut-il militaire. Elle est au service de l'État, de la nation, des populations. Il ne faut pas que les juges perdent ce principe de vue.  Mais est-ce que les juges ont le choix ? Est-ce qu'ils n'ont pas peur, eux aussi ? La loi donne aux juges la possibilité de se mettre en retrait. Au-delà de tout, sous le couvert de la peur, les juges aujourd'hui se laissent aller, jouent un rôle qui est maléfique pour eux, qui est maléfique pour l'idée même de justice. Et de ce point de vue-là, qu'ils se rendent compte simplement qu'aujourd'hui est aujourd'hui, mais demain la justice sera. Après les attaques du 25 avril, la mort du ministre Sadio Camara, la prise de Kidal, certains ont cru les militaires au pouvoir au Mali fragilisés. Finalement le pouvoir ne semble pas vaciller tant que ça ? Il vacille ! Évidemment, le terrorisme n'a pas sa place dans la cité, il constitue la négation même du pacte social, du droit et de la paix civile. Mais il devient difficile aujourd'hui d'ignorer la responsabilité d'un pouvoir qui, lui, est issu de la force et qui se maintient par la force et la terreur. Et l'exposition du pays, de ses citoyens, à des périls grandissants ne saurait être dissociée des décisions qui sont prises par ceux-là qui gouvernent depuis six ans. Vous êtes un opposant, on l'a bien compris, aux autorités maliennes de transition, mais vous n'avez pas rallié la CFR (Coalition des forces pour la République), la coalition de l'imam Dicko. Pourquoi ? Pour la simple raison qu'aujourd'hui, on est entre le képi et la chéchia. Le képi, c'est la prise du pouvoir par la force, c'est l'exercice de ce pouvoir de façon autoritaire. Et en face, nous avons les chéchias, et faut-il leur rappeler, 2012 est passée par là. 2012, c'est quand même des mains et des pieds coupés dans les régions du nord du Mali…  Pendant la période d'occupation par les groupes djihadistes…  Exactement. Ces pieds et mains coupés sont encore dans l'esprit des gens. Alors, je veux bien qu'au nom de l'unité nationale, au nom du dialogue, on se mette tous ensemble aujourd'hui dans le but ultime de rétablir l'ensemble national. Mais pour moi, il y a des préalables qui sont absolus. On ne peut pas sortir d'un terrain de guerre, muni d'armes et de munitions, pour venir se retrouver autour de la table et faire table rase de tout ce qui s'est passé. De la même manière que je combats avec la dernière vigueur ce régime militaire, violateur de tous les droits et de toutes les libertés, de cette même manière, je ne saurais véritablement accompagner des actes de terreur et les terroristes. Il y a un préalable absolu : il faut que l'on évoque 2012. Il faut que cette jonction maléfique entre le FLA et le Jnim, on l'évoque. Il faut aujourd'hui qu'il y ait des préalables d'adhésion à des principes et des valeurs absolues qui, pour moi, fondent la République, fondent la démocratie, fondent la justice.  Les régimes de l'AES, au Mali, au Niger et au Burkina, martèlent que s'opposer à eux, c'est s'opposer à la souveraineté de ces trois pays, c'est être du côté des ennemis de la nation, des terroristes, des ingérences extérieures, de la guerre médiatique… Vous êtes Maliens. Vous en pensez quoi, vous répondez quoi ? Personne ne peut aujourd'hui me décoller le label de Malien d'une part, de patriote d'autre part et de citoyen engagé. Ce qui gêne ces régimes en place, qui eux-mêmes sont issus de l'illégalité et de la fraude, c'est qu'ils ne supportent pas qu'on leur rappelle ce que c'est que le droit. Ils ne supportent pas qu'on leur rappelle leurs propos, leurs engagements. Mais les vrais antipatriotes, c'est ceux qui affament les citoyens et qui aujourd'hui pervertissent les libertés et anéantissent le droit.  À lire aussiMali: frappes aériennes de l'armée dans le centre et dans le nord du pays, arrivée de citernes à Bamako

Welcome back to Warehouse and Operations as a Career. I'm Marty and today I want to talk about something a listener brought up recently. They asked me, “Why don't you just stick to explaining warehouse positions instead of all the other stuff that doesn't make us more money?” Well, I guess that is a fair question.  As We've discussed many times, and I believe this is more than just my opinion. Here's the thing about warehousing, transportation, distribution, manufacturing, and the whole supply chain.  Nothing stands alone. Every movement touches another movement. Every position affects another position. Every delay or error cost somebody time. And in my experience, every shortcut creates a problem somewhere else. And, not only do I believe, but I think I can show that the people who grow the farthest in this industry are usually the people who understand more than just their own task. That's why we talk about everything, and why I try and get as many questions answered as possible. We can all learn something from all the experiences shared.   On another note, kind of keeping with the theme of the day, I had a long time mentor, just this week say that the associate who learns the language of the operation becomes more valuable to the operation.  So today, I thought we'd have some fun with that idea by talking about something every warehouse, dispatcher, inventory clerk, transportation coordinator, recruiter, manager, and forklift operator and a couple of hundred other positions hear every day.  Acronyms. Being honest. The supply chain world LOVES acronyms. Sometimes it feels like people are speaking another language. A dispatcher says I Need POD on that LTL before DET hits, or customer's asking for an ETA, and OS&D says there's one QTR short. And the new employee standing there is thinking What in the world just happened? But once you understand the language, you start understanding the business. And understanding the business creates opportunity. So let's break a few of them down today.  POD. This one's huge. POD simply means Proof of Delivery. It's the signature, paperwork, photo, or electronic confirmation showing freight arrived where it was supposed to arrive. Without a POD, customers may refuse payment. Billing can stop. Claims can happen. That little signature? That's money. It's like a check. One missing POD can turn into hours of emails, phone calls, and frustration.  The BOL or Bill of Laden. The BOL is basically the birth certificate of the shipment. It tells us what the freight is, where it's going , who shipped it, who receives it , and how many pallets or cartons there are. Drivers carry it. Receivers check it. And dispatch tracks it. If the BOL is wrong, everything downstream can become wrong too. Again, everything touches everything.  On to the ETA or the estimated time of arrival.  Everybody wants the ETA. An inaccurate ETA affects staffing, dock schedules, unloaders, production planning, and customer satisfaction. One late truck can ripple through an entire building.  PU and DEL. PU means Pickup. DEL means Delivery. Simple terms, but they move the entire transportation world. You'll hear the PU is at 1400.  And maybe read or hear DEL scheduled for tomorrow.  And you don't want to read or hear Missed PU. Or Late DEL. Those two tiny acronyms control millions of dollars in freight every single day.  Oh, these are common ones. FTL, TL and LTL. Now we're getting into freight classifications. FTL or TL means Full Truckload or Truckload. That means one shipment basically fills the trailer. LTL means Less Than Truckload. That means multiple customers share trailer space. Why does this matter? Because of the freight handling changes. LTL freight gets touched more. More touches means more chances for damages. More planning, terminals being crossed and more scheduling. Understanding freight flow helps associates understand WHY all those processes we have to follow exist.  STL or Spot Trailer Load. Now depending on the company, STL can mean different things, but many operations use it to describe a spotted trailer load or staged trailer movement. Spotters, yard dogs, dispatch, and shipping clerks all coordinate trailer movement to keep freight flowing. One missed trailer move can shut down a shipping lane.  Then OS&D. This acronym can ruin everybody's day. OS&D means, over, short, and damaged. To a receiver that’ll mean too much product. Missing product. Or Broken product! This affects inventory, customer service, claims, transportation, receivers, selectors and loaders. One crushed pallet may not seem important on the dock floor until you realize it can cost thousands of dollars.  Lets see, TONU or Truck Ordered Not Used. Transportation people cringe hearing this one. TONU means a truck was scheduled, showed up, and wasn't needed. But the carrier is still going to expect his or her payment. Why? Remember all we've learned about transportation. A truck sitting parked still costs money.  One we're all getting used to is FSC, the fuel surcharge. Fuel affects everything. When diesel prices rise, FSC charges often rise too. That means transportation costs increase. And when transportation costs increase, product prices eventually increase. Again, everything touches everything.  Two more biggies, DET and D&H. DET means Detention. D&H means Detention and Handling. This happens when drivers sit too long waiting to load or unload. And let me tell you, drivers will charge you and they remember facilities that waste their time. A poorly managed dock damages relationships fast. And we as warehouse people probably know these next two. APPT and FCFS. APPT means Appointment. FCFS means First Come, First Serve. Many warehouses, especially the larger ones run by appointments. Others unload trailers in the order in which they arrive. Understanding which system a facility uses affects scheduling, staffing, and transportation planning.  And here are 3 system ones. TMS, WMS, and YMS. Now we're talking technology. TMS is the Transportation Management System, and I'm sure us warehouse folks know WMS, the Warehouse Management System, and a little lesser known system is the YMS, Yard Management System. You'll see these in high traffic operations. These three systems track freight, our inventory, trailer locations, our productivity, shipping schedules, receiving , even our labor hours and cost. Really pretty much what ever information we feed into them! Years ago, many warehouses used clipboards and paper. Today? Data drives our operations. And the associate willing to learn systems becomes extremely valuable. A forklift operator that understands WMS screens and RF scanners may eventually move into inventory control or leadership. Knowledge adds up.  ASN and EDI. ASN means Advanced Shipping Notice. That's electronic information sent before freight arrives and EDI means Electronic Data Interchange. Computers talking to computers. Purchase orders, invoices, shipment notifications, receiving confirmations, all moving electronically behind the scenes. Most associates never see it. But it's happening constantly.  OK, this one most of us know. A PO or Purchase Order. A PO is permission to buy product. Without a PO, many companies won't even receive the freight or their order. That one document controls inventory flow, accounting, receiving, and purchasing.  Here's another on us production people know. KPI or Key Performance Indicator. KPIs are measurements. Cases per hour. Pallets per hour. On-time shipping. Inventory accuracy. Dock turn times. You've heard me say What gets measured gets managed. Warehouses or operations survive on measurements. And associates that understand KPIs understand how and why businesses make decisions.  Next we have RDC, DC, and MC. These are facility types. RDC is for Regional Distribution Center. DC is Distribution Center. MC is Manufacturing Center. Different responsibilities. Different workflows. But all connected together in the supply chain.  Now here's a few for the transportation folks. ELD, GPS, DOT, and HOS. As we know, transportation runs on compliance. The ELD is an Electronic Logging Device. Remember keeping our paper logs? GPS, Global Positioning System. DOT or Department of Transportation, and HOS stands for Hours of Service. These systems and regulations track Driver hours. Safety, Speed, Routes, and Compliance. Transportation isn't just driving a truck anymore. It's technology, planning, regulation, and accountability.  Keeping things on the road. We have NMFC and SCAC.  Now we're getting deep into freight language. NMFC means National Motor Freight Classification. SCAC means Standard Carrier Alpha Code. These help identify carriers and classify freight for shipping and pricing purposes. Again, Stuff most people never think about. But somebody in the operation has to understand it.  And BCO, FOB, and CFR. BCO often means Beneficial Cargo Owner. FOB means Free On Board. CFR means Cost and Freight. These terms matter heavily in international and large-scale shipping. They determine responsibility. Who pays for freight. Who owns the risk and where liability transfers. And one misunderstanding here can become extremely expensive.  Now some people may hear all these acronyms and think “Well, I don't need to know all that. I just drive a forklift.” Maybe today you do. But tomorrow? You might have an opportunity train new hires. Lead a shift. Help coordinate the outbound shift. Move into the inventory side of op's, maybe even become a dispatcher, or running transportation or supervise operations. Remember how we're always talking about learning and growing? The people who grow in this industry usually become students of the industry. Not just students of their task. And, that's why we talk about “all this other stuff.” I believe every term, every process, every department, every movement is another piece of understanding as to how the machine works. And once you understand the machine, you become more valuable to the machine.  Warehousing and transportation are not simple jobs anymore. They've grown. Technology. People. Safety. Metrics. Compliance. Movement. Communication. And that growth is a good thing. Every one of us touches another part of the process. And I feel, that's why knowledge matters. Not because every acronym instantly puts money in your pocket. But because understanding creates opportunities that eventually do. The more of the language you understand the more rooms you can walk into confidently. And confidence backed by knowledge? That's where careers begin separating themselves. The people who understand the whole operation eventually outgrow the people who only understand one task. And that, my friends is why we talk about all of it.  Well, there’s two more cents worth of my opinions. We do talk about a lot more than warehouse positions, but, I feel, and can pretty much attest that, if we learn it all, hang out with those from other departments, learn that task before ours and after ours, we will earn more and in many different ways.   Thanks for stopping in again today, and above all, remember safety is our number 1 priority. We want to be doing this a long time!

This episode unpacks how the Marshall Plan transformed postwar Western Europe and why security, allied cooperation, and forward thinking were the real keys to its enduring success.   To mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. declaration of independence, CFR is dedicating a yearlong series of articles, videos, podcasts, events, and special projects that will reflect on two and a half centuries of U.S. foreign policy. Featuring bipartisan voices and expert contributors, the series explores the evolution of America's role in the world and the strategic challenges that lie ahead.   Host: James M. Lindsay, Mary and David Boies Distinguished Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy, CFR   Guest: Benn Steil, Senior Fellow and Director of International Economics, CFR   We Discuss: How the British Empire's rapid collapse in early 1947 forced the United States to assume responsibility for Western European security. What George Marshall's six weeks of negotiations in Moscow revealed about Soviet intentions in Germany and Western Europe. How Marshall deliberately crafted the plan's offer to include the Soviet Union while ensuring Soviet leader Joseph Stalin would reject it. How Congress, controlled by Republicans, was persuaded to support a massive foreign aid program from a Democratic administration. Whether the Marshall Plan's $13 billion actually explains Western Europe's economic recovery in the late 1940s. What role NATO played in making the Marshall Plan work, and why the French and British insisted on security guarantees before cooperating. Why security has to precede economic reconstruction—and what Afghanistan and Iraq  reveal about ignoring that lesson.

This episode unpacks how Africa's demographic surge, critical mineral wealth, and expanding security threats are reshaping its relevance to U.S. foreign policy in the twenty-first century.   Host: James M. Lindsay, Mary and David Boies Distinguished Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy, CFR   Guest: Michelle Gavin, Ralph Bunche Senior Fellow for Africa Policy Studies, CFR   We Discuss: Why U.S. policy has historically treated engagement with Africa as an option rather than a strategic priority.

It's the final episode of our parenting series here on the podcast and we're closing it out with a sweet and simple Q&A. We asked you over on Instagram, YouTube, and email for questions and here are some of those.

This episode unpacks the key discussion points from the U.S.-China summit, including Taiwan, the Iran war, AI regulation, and the future of U.S.-China relations.   Host: James M. Lindsay, Mary and David Boies Distinguished Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy, CFR   Guest: Nicholas Burns, Roy and Barbara Goodman Family Professor of the Practice of Diplomacy and International Relations, Harvard University Kennedy School of Government; Former U.S. Ambassador to the People's Republic of China (2021–2025) We Discuss: Whether the Trump-Xi summit in Beijing represented a genuine diplomatic breakthrough or merely a cooling of tensions without resolving underlying conflicts. What the dueling U.S. and Chinese post-summit statements reveal about each country's divergent priorities and negotiating strategies. How significant the summit's economic deliverables—agricultural sales commitments, Boeing aircraft sales, and a potential tariff truce—actually are. How Xi Jinping's early and deliberate warning about Taiwan set the tone for the summit, and what his decision to leak that statement mid-meeting signals about Chinese tactics. Whether President Trump's equivocation about U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and the One China policy constitutes a major strategic mistake and what it means for American credibility with allies in the Indo-Pacific. What the presence of Putin in Beijing immediately after Trump's visit reveals about Chinese strategic alignments. Why an emerging U.S.-China dialogue on artificial intelligence regulation could prove to be the most consequential and underappreciated outcome of the Beijing summit. What concrete benchmarks—from tariff agreements to arms sales to Chinese follow-through on commitments—will determine whether this summit actually put U.S.-China relations on a more stable footing.

The title, the salary, the accolades; but they feel completely hollow on the inside. Kenny Stoddart lived that version for nearly three decades, and what he built from the wreckage of it is changing the way high performers think about identity, leadership, and what it actually means to be strong.A former global cybersecurity executive who spent 27 years with VeriSign, Symantec, and Sectigo, Kenny drove hundreds of millions in channel revenue and earned President's Club honours sixteen times. By every external measure, he was winning. Behind that career, he was simultaneously navigating addiction and serious health challenges, including a Stage 2b prostate cancer diagnosis. When the structure of performance-based identity finally cracked, Kenny didn't retreat. He rebuilt, and that rebuilding process became Identity Gain™.Unlike conventional recovery models, Identity Gain™ is built on a fundamentally different premise: you don't go back. You build forward. The framework helps high achievers acquire what Kenny calls internal assets, clarity, conviction, internal authority, boundaries, and direction. These are the things no résumé achievement or external crisis can take or give, and they are what make someone not just functional again, but stronger and more anchored than they have ever been.The people Kenny works with aren't struggling with skill gaps. They're struggling with identity gaps, executives and leaders performing at the top while quietly collapsing underneath. His IronMind Mentality program addresses both the surface performance and the root cause, beginning with the Iron Audit: a brutally honest diagnostic of where a client truly is.An IronMan World Championship triathlete, MBA graduate with Highest Honours from The Citadel, and currently pursuing a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Kenny brings lived experience to everything he teaches. Featured in Forbes, Psychology Today, Men's Health, CNBC, and Nasdaq, his message is simple even if the work is not: the version of you that emerges from the hardest chapter of your life can be the strongest one yet.To learn more about Identity Gain™, or to contact Kenny directly, click the link below.Disclosure of Material Connection: This is a sponsored post.

Au Mali, les autorités de transition restent fermement résolues à combattre les groupes armés. Les jihadistes du Jnim, liés à al-Qaïda, et les rebelles indépendantistes du FLA ont mené le 25 avril une série d'attaques massives et, pour la première fois, conjointes, qui leur ont permis de tuer le ministre de la Défense, le général Sadio Camara, et de prendre le contrôle de Kidal. Depuis, le Jnim a décrété un blocus sur la capitale Bamako et multiplie les attaques. Pour autant, l'armée malienne et ses partenaires russes de l'Africa Corps poursuivent leurs opérations et affichent leur détermination. Moussa Ag Acharatoumane est membre du Conseil national de transition, qui fait office au Mali, en l'absence d'élections depuis bientôt six ans, d'organe législatif. Il dirige également le MSA, groupe politico-militaire de la région de Ménaka, allié des autorités de transition et qui combat avec l'armée malienne et l'Africa Corps russe dans le Nord. RFI : Depuis les attaques du 25 avril, les opposants au régime de transition estiment que les autorités sont fragilisées. Les soutiens des militaires au pouvoir appellent au contraire à faire bloc. Pour vous, j'imagine qu'Assimi Goïta est toujours le président dont le Mali a besoin ? Moussa Ag Acharatoumane : Bien sûr, Assimi Goïta est toujours le président dont le Mali a besoin. Il continue à gouverner normalement son pays. Je tiens quand même à rappeler que malgré les attaques du 25 avril, le Mali est un État qui est debout, est un État qui agit et les forces de défense et de sécurité ont repoussé les actions terroristes, malgré la complexité des attaques et particulièrement le lot de complices internes et externes. Aujourd'hui, nous avons une armée qui est très soudée, le commandement est ensemble, les soldats sur le terrain ont le moral et les opérations continuent sur l'ensemble du territoire.  Les attaques des groupes armés continuent, Bamako est sous blocus, mais le régime est donc solide, prêt à faire face. Le régime est solide, j'irai même plus loin : c'est le peuple malien même qui est solide aujourd'hui. Les Maliens aiment leur armée, les Maliens aiment leur pouvoir et les Maliens aiment leur pays.  L'alliance, sur le terrain, entre les jihadistes du Jnim et les indépendantistes du FLA, vous en pensez quoi ?  Tout le monde connaît ce qu'on appelle al-Qaïda. Les frères qui ont fait ce choix de s'allier à al-Qaïda n'ont pas tiré les leçons de 2012 parce que, en 2012, il y a eu pratiquement la même tentative et le monde entier est témoin de ce qui s'est passé. Et une partie des frères, pas tous, parce qu'il y a une partie de nos frères, malheureusement, qui ne se sont jamais éloignés de la nébuleuse d'al-Qaïda, mais par contre, certains ont toujours été des grandes victimes de cette organisation, y compris certains de leurs premiers responsables, dont les familles ont été décimées par al-Qaïda. Et c'est le même al-Qaïda qui est là, et c'est le même al-Qaïda aussi qui est auteur de l'assassinat de Ghislain Dupont et Claude Verlon, les journalistes de RFI tués à Kidal (en 2013, assassinat revendiqué par al-Qaïda au Maghreb islamique, dont l'un des commanditaires, Seidane Ag Hitta, est aujourd'hui parmi les principaux dirigeants du Jnim, ndlr). On s'en souvient, bien évidemment. Cette alliance, c'est une très mauvaise chose. Je pense que nos frères doivent prendre conscience de l'erreur grotesque qu'ils sont en train de faire et revenir en arrière. Ils doivent faire exactement comme le MSA et le Gatia (deux groupes politico-militaires alliés du régime de transition). Ils se sont alliés à l'armée malienne pour combattre le terrorisme international.  Les dirigeants du FLA assurent qu'il ne s'agit que d'une alliance militaire contre leur ennemi commun, l'armée malienne et l'Africa Corps, et qu'il n'y a pas, au-delà, de projet commun. Quand on voit l'organe officiel d'al-Qaïda à l'échelle internationale mentionner son alliance avec le FLA, quand on voit Iyad Ag Ghali (chef du Jnim, ndlr) coordonner lui-même les opérations sur Kidal à côté d'Alghabass Ag Intallah (l'un des dirigeants du FLA, ndlr), quand on voit les défilés qu'ils ont organisés dans les rues de Kidal, avec les drapeaux noirs mentionnant leur projet satanique. Je le répète, nos frères sont dans l'erreur. Ils ont été victimes de ces gens en 2012 et ce sont les mêmes acteurs qui continuent en 2026.  Le Jnim et le FLA contrôlent désormais Kidal et Tessalit. L'armée malienne et l'Africa Corps russe restent présents à Aguelhoc et Anéfis. Est-ce qu'il faut s'attendre à une contre-offensive des forces nationales dans la région de Kidal ?  Les forces de défense et de sécurité sont en pleine réorganisation et elles sont bel et bien présentes dans la région de Kidal. Ils sont déterminés, ils vont mener des opérations sur l'ensemble du territoire national et ils ne vont pas céder un centimètre de ce territoire à une organisation terroriste.  Le général El Hadj Ag Gamou, nommé gouverneur de Kidal par les autorités de transition en 2023 et que vous connaissez bien : on le dit actuellement à Gao. Est-ce que c'est le cas ? Est-ce qu'il pourrait participer à la contre-offensive sur Kidal ?  Le général El Hadj Ag Gamou va très bien, je tiens à rassurer tout le monde là-dessus. Il a le moral très haut, il a les pieds sur terre et la tête haute. Il est gouverneur de la région de Kidal. Les offensives, la réorganisation de l'armée, son redéploiement, les opérations, ça c'est l'armée qui s'en occupe. Lui, sa fonction, c'est d'être gouverneur de cette région. Il va très bien et il n'a pas de problème.  Dans votre région de Ménaka, l'armée malienne et l'Africa Corps russe ont repoussé fin avril les offensives de l'État islamique, groupe jihadiste rival du Jnim. Depuis, quelle est la situation dans la ville ?  Aujourd'hui, la situation est sous contrôle. L'administration a repris son travail, la vie normale a repris, les forces de défense et de sécurité et leurs partenaires contrôlent la ville, mènent des patrouilles régulièrement. Mais ceci étant dit, la menace est toujours là. Il ne faut pas se leurrer, nous sommes en guerre contre l'une des organisations terroristes les plus dangereuses au monde, donc nous restons sur le qui-vive. Mais pour le moment, à Ménaka, la situation est assez calme.  Dialoguer, négocier avec le Jnim et le FLA, c'est aujourd'hui ce que prônent notamment des opposants au régime en place, comme la Coalition des forces pour la République (CFR) de l'imam Dicko. Mais c'est depuis une dizaine d'années une recommandation de toutes les concertations nationales, y compris du dialogue inter-malien organisé sous la Transition. Les autorités actuelles s'y refusent catégoriquement. Vous, vous y êtes favorable ou pas ?  En fait il n'y a pas à discuter avec des gens qui ont un projet de destruction de notre pays. L'État malien protège sa population, protège son intégrité territoriale et il n'y a absolument rien à négocier avec ces gens-là en l'état actuel, sauf s'ils revoient leurs pensées et leurs projets. Ce sont des Maliens, s'ils reviennent à de meilleurs sentiments, je pense qu'il y a de la place pour tout le monde, mais pas dans ces conditions.  À lire aussiAu Mali, «l'externalisation de la sécurité n'a pas fonctionné», selon Bakary Sambe du Timbuktu Institute

This episode unpacks President Donald Trump's upcoming summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, the first by a sitting U.S. President in nearly a decade, as the United States and China work through a tense period of détente.   Host: James M. Lindsay, Mary and David Boies Distinguished Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy, CFR   Guest: Rush Doshi, C.V. Starr Senior Fellow for Asia Studies and Director of the China Strategy Initiative   We Discuss: Whether the Trump-Xi summit will represent continuity or a new phase in the U.S.-China relationship. How China assesses the military and economic balance of power with the United States. What last year's trade war revealed and how it produced the current period of managed competition. As Rush Doshi puts it: “I don't think there's going to be a large structural breakthrough.” What deliverables the Trump administration is seeking from the summit, and why negotiations are focused on process mechanisms and stability. How China has responded to the U.S.-Iran war and why it has stayed on the sidelines despite having clear strategic interests. Why China welcomes U.S. entanglement in foreign conflicts but fears their effects on global trade and resource access. Why China is more exposed than the United States freedom of navigation threats and naval chokepoints. Why President Biden never traveled to Beijing, and how China is framing Trump's visit. Why American CEOs are joining Trump's trip, and what role they play in the summit. Whether the U.S. and China will negotiate agreements on artificial intelligence and its role in great power competition. How China has treated seemingly mutually-beneficial crisis communication channels as negotiation ploys in return for U.S. concessions.  Whether Taiwan will be on the agenda, what concessions China is seeking, and how U.S. policy shifts could affect internal Taiwanese politics on unification. How a so-called Board of Trade and other bilateral mechanisms could formalize a lasting state of managed trade between the two countries   Mentioned on the Episode:   “President Xi Jinping Speaks with U.S. President Donald J. Trump on the Phone” Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs   Evelyn Cheng, “Trump is taking more than a dozen U.S. executives to China.

My friend, Lauren Groves, is on the podcast today and she's not only an intentional wife and mother, but she's also an author of a beautiful kids book series entitled, "Toddler Theology." I instantly thought about her when thinking about this parenting series because she is truly gifted in helping parents teach simple, yet powerful truths about the gospel in such an easy way through catechisms. In this episode, we talk about how the mundane things in motherhood and discipleship matter and how to take the pressure off of "saving" your children, and instead, do what we can and let God do the rest (or rather, the MOST). ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch Truth Talks with Tara on YouTube here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

In this episode of Simply Trade, host Lalo Solorzano is joined by Trudy Wilson, longtime Global Training Center instructor and trade compliance expert, for the first installment of what Lalo calls “Trudy's Trade Tips.” This conversation focuses on a foundational topic that continues to create confusion across import and export teams: Incoterms 2020. Trudy breaks down why companies should not simply default to familiar terms like FOB or Ex Works, especially when containerized freight, export filing, loading responsibility, and risk exposure are involved. Key Takeaways Incoterms are voluntary, but they help buyers and sellers clearly define responsibility. There are 11 Incoterms, but most companies should focus primarily on the 7 “any mode” terms. FOB, CIF, CFR, and FAS are often misused when goods are moving in containers. “Ocean shipment” does not automatically mean one of the ocean-only terms applies. Ex Works may look simple for the seller, but it can create serious compliance and operational risk. Export filing, proof of export, loading responsibility, and product destination still matter. AI and automation can help, but trade professionals still need the foundation to validate results. Featured Discussion Trudy explains why the four sea and inland waterway terms should generally be reserved for goods that are “pumped or dumped” onto a vessel, such as oil, grain, minerals, or ore. For most containerized shipments, even when moving by ocean, companies should usually be evaluating the seven any-mode Incoterms instead. She also cautions against the casual use of Ex Works, reminding exporters that “easy” does not always mean low risk. Memorable Quote “If you don't have the foundation right, you're going to have issues with the tariffs anyway.” Hosts Lalo Solorzano Trudy Wilson About Simply Trade Simply Trade is a podcast by Global Training Center, created for trade compliance professionals, importers, exporters, customs brokers, and supply chain leaders who want practical conversations about global trade.

What happens when you build a $20M business... and then lose it all? Stephen Diaz didn't just survive — he rebuilt from scratch using the exact same playbook that got him there the first time. Stephen started as a wedding photographer. After discovering the power of funnels and the challenge model, he and his wife Chelsey built Rainmaker Family into one of the fastest-growing coaching companies in America — 120 employees, $3M months, Inc. 5000 #148. Then three things hit at once: a public disparagement campaign, their Instagram account got taken down, and tariffs tanked demand in their market overnight. He went from $20M/year to $1M in debt, laying off 100 people in the process. What he did next is the whole point of this episode. In this conversation Stephen breaks down: How he found the ClickFunnels playbook and scaled to 8 figures with a challenge funnel The three punches that nearly bankrupted a $55M business What it was like to lay off 100 people — and have 44 of them volunteer to come back for free How he rebuilt an entirely new business in under a year using AI The "earlier is better" funnel principle that doubled his opt-in rate His 30/30/30 rule for keeping margins healthy as you scale Why he believes the same funnel framework works in any market This one is raw, honest, and packed with real numbers. If you're building something right now — or rebuilding — this episode is for you.

This episode unpacks three enduring pillars that have defined U.S. foreign policy from the nation's founding to today: ideology, economic statecraft, and democratic accountability.   Host: James M. Lindsay, Mary and David Boies Distinguished Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy, CFR   Guest: Michael Mandelbaum, Professor Emeritus of American Foreign Policy at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies; Author, The American Way of Foreign Policy: Ideology, Economics, Democracy   We Discuss: Whether the United States can be said to have a coherent foreign policy "personality". How geographic and geopolitical advantages have historically enabled a more ideological U.S. foreign policy than most countries can afford. Whether ideology in U.S. foreign policy represents genuine conviction or merely a veneer for self-interest.  What the post-Cold War era reveals as the "golden age of foreign policy of ideas”. What drives the persistent American tendency toward economic statecraft, sanctions, and “mirror imaging”. How public opinion, interest groups, political parties, and elections influence foreign policy decisionmaking. Whether President Trump's foreign policy fits within—or represents a departure from—the three enduring American traditions in U.S. foreign policy.   Mentioned on the Episode:   The American Way of Foreign Policy: Ideology, Economics, Democracy by Michael Mandelbaum (Oxford University Press, 2025)   Embargo Act of 1807   George W. Bush, Second Inaugural Address, January 20, 2005   Vice President JD Vance, Remarks at the Munich Security Conference, February 14, 2025   Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Remarks at the Munich Security Conference, February 14, 2026   For an episode transcript and show notes, visit The President's Inbox at: https://www.cfr.org/podcasts/presidents-inbox/how-to-build-an-american-foreign-policy   Opinions expressed on The President's Inbox are solely those of the host or guests, not of CFR, which takes no institutional positions on matters of policy.

It's week two of our parenting series and I couldn't think of a more INCREDIBLE way to keep the fun going than to have David Thomas and Sissy Goff on the show! They are some of my all-time favorite authors on parenting, and we're diving into the topic of raising capable kids in a world full of worry and anxiety. We look to the questions we as parents often have, such as, "How do I prepare my child for the world?" and "Is there such thing as a balance between 'gentle' and 'hard' parenting?" David and Sissy are such a wealth of wisdom and we look to what God says about raising strong, capable, and healthy children in every single way.

This episode unpacks the causes, key events, and consequences of the Spanish-American War, highlighting how it shaped U.S. foreign policy into the modern era.    To mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. declaration of independence, CFR is dedicating a year-long series of articles, videos, podcasts, events, and special projects that will reflect on two and a half centuries of U.S. foreign policy. Featuring bipartisan voices and expert contributors, the series explores the evolution of America's role in the world and the strategic challenges that lie ahead.   Host: James M. Lindsay, Mary and David Boies Distinguished Senior Fellow in U.S. Foreign Policy, CFR   Guest: H.W. Brands, Jack S. Blanton Sr. Chair in History, The University of Texas at Austin   We Discuss: What drove the United States toward assertive foreign policy in the 1890s. Who the "jingoes" were and how American leaders pushed for American power abroad. Whether access to China drove American interest in Spain's Pacific empire. Why the USS Maine explosion changed the political calculus for entering a war with Spain. What the Teller Amendment accomplished and what its drafters failed to anticipate. Whether the annexation of the Philippines was ultimately the least-bad option for the Filipino people. What the Spanish-American War's legacy reveals about how the United States became—and chose to remain—a global power.   Mentioned on the Episode:   Monroe Doctrine, December 2, 1823 McKinley's First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1897 Theodore Roosevelt, Naval War College Address, June 2, 1897 The Teller Amendment, April 19, 1898   For an episode transcript and show notes, visit The President's Inbox at: https://www.cfr.org/podcasts/presidents-inbox/america-at-250-the-spanish-american-war   Opinions expressed on The President's Inbox are solely those of the host or guests, not of CFR, which takes no institutional positions on matters of policy.
