Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - The 2025 Rural Islands Economic Partnership (RIEP) Virtual Forum is coming up Thursday and Friday, March 6th and 7th. Two of the organizers, Francine Carlin and Kate Maddigan are my guests today. “ It's going to be a jam packed two half days, 9:15 AM to 12:30 PM. Our virtual events are really unique because we all live on islands or coastal remote communities and don't have the opportunity to get together as a collaborative regional grouping. So it's important to have these virtual events that bring together people from all across the coast and the islands, up from North Island as far as Alert Bay, to Sooke and beyond. So we have a pretty broad reach and this year it's really important, particularly with the events in the world around economic issues that relate to our local economic and social wellbeing,” explained Francine Carlin, Chair of the Rural Islands Economic Partnership. “Our theme this year is adaptation, innovation, and resilience, because in these times you need to be able to adapt to change. You need to be innovative in terms of what you are doing to keep small businesses vibrant and alive during these challenging times and to be resilient. It's an ongoing process to ensure that we have our sovereignty as a nation. And that we have our local communities and our local economies thriving as best they can.” “The opening sessions will be looking at our economic snapshot in terms of what exactly and who exactly are we in terms of our population, our economy, our, our health and wellbeing. We're going to follow up with a program around how we share our services. How we can leverage our economies of scale to be more resilient in times of change. Then moving into using artificial intelligence” Is it a friend or an enemy? Or fremony? (laughter) You have to find a way to use it so that it doesn't overpower and that we can take advantage of the technologies that have been evolving for the last 30 years.” “Day two is looking at economic reconciliation. What is that all about in terms of how we're going to work collaboratively and in concert with the indigenous communities that live and work on these islands and across the remote coast. We're having former MLA, Adam Olson, who is now the Chief Negotiator for the Tsartlip Nation. One of the reasons that our Southern Gulf Islands got into the Island Coast Economic Trust and was able to apply for funds there was because of his advocacy with the province. He's going to be speaking to us about working together with Indigenous communities to ensure a diverse and integrated economy over time. The most difficult thing to pull together was what we're calling this Learning Exchange. We're bringing together about nine Representatives of organizations from across the islands and the coast to share everything from housing initiatives and solutions to climate adaptation to food security and social enterprise.”
The South African National Defence Union, SANDU has dismissed reports that 190 South African soldiers have been wounded in Eastern DRC, insisting that the actual number is significantly lower.

To shed more light on this situation Elvis Presslin spoke to Jeff Dubazana, Chief Negotiator of the SA National Defence Union

Tapping into the history of intelligence gathering and his working relationships with former CIA, FBI, and counterterrorism agents, corporate sales and security expert Jeremy Hurewitz offers field-tested spycraft strategies and government-agency tactics anyone can use to build relationships, persuade others, and sell anything.Jeremy Hurewitz has built his career around former CIA case officers, FBI agents, and other intelligence operatives—people like Steve Romano, former Chief Negotiator of the FBI; Mark Sullivan, former Director of the Secret Service; General Stanley McChrystal (Ret.), former commander of the Joint Operations Command; and John Cipher, former CIA Senior Intelligence Service member.

Hafiz al-Assad was the President of Syria between 1970 and 2000. Father of present Syrian leader Bashar, Hafiz inherited a country in disarray, beset by political and religious division at home, and subject to interference from regional powers. Displaying extraordinary brutality, Hafiz imposed order on Syria's diverse population and also turned his country into an important decision maker. His troops intervened in Lebanon's dreadful civil war, and occupied large parts of the country for the rest of Hafiz's life. As well as cementing Hafiz's own position, this also strengthened Assad's hand in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Hafiz understood that for small countries, geopolitical success rests on making yourself difficult to be dispensed of, or overlooked. The career of my guest today shows how well Hafiz did this; in conjunction with his role as Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Itamar Rabinovich was Israel's Chief Negotiator with Syria from 1993 until 1996, at a time when many believed that peace between Israel and Palestine hinged upon Syrian recognition of Israel. Rabinovich has dedicated his life to researching Syria, and its relations (or lack thereof) with Israel, and is the author of 14 books on the country.

South Sudan is not only the youngest country in the world, but it is also home to a large youth population: more than 70% of South Sudanese are under the age of 30! It also has one of the highest rates of sexual and gender-based violence in the world according to the World Bank. Today, South Sudanese women are often excluded from taking part in policy-making and decision-making processes. Yet, many of them have become strong advocates for building a more peaceful and inclusive society by demanding their meaningful participation at all levels of decision making. In fact, women are key drivers, not only in promoting socio-economic development, but also in addressing conflict resolution in South Sudan. As a passionate advocate for women and youth participation in political processes in Africa, Honorable Yar Telar Deng, one of the youngest members of Parliament in South Sudan, helps uncover how trade and trade policy can contribute to the economic and political empowerment of women. Guest: Honorable Yar Telar Deng, Member of Parliament, South Sudan. Host: Axel M. Addy, former Minister of Commerce and Industry and Chief Negotiator of Liberia's accession to the WTO.
