M2i Global CEO Alberto Rosende joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's signing of a non-binding strategic collaboration agreement with Evrensel Impact Group (EIG) to explore the identification, evaluation, and potential development of critical mineral projects across Africa. Rosende said the collaboration will leverage EIG's expanding network of government relationships, strategic partnerships, and commercial engagements to help identify opportunities aligned with M2i Global's critical minerals strategy. The agreement establishes a framework for evaluating and advancing future projects across the continent. EIG has recently expanded its presence in Mozambique, Nigeria, Botswana, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Central African Republic, while also pursuing new opportunities in Sierra Leone, Ghana, Togo, Cameroon, and other African jurisdictions. According to Rosende, EIG's discussions with governments have revealed strong demand for experienced international partners capable of delivering responsible resource development, long-term investment, and commercially viable critical minerals projects, creating opportunities that align with M2i Global's growth objectives. The collaboration is non-binding and serves as a strategic framework for future cooperation. Any specific commercial transactions or project agreements will be subject to further due diligence, negotiations, definitive documentation, and customary regulatory approvals. #proactiveinvestors #m2iglobalinc #otcqb #mtwo #SecurityMatters #CriticalMinerals #ResourceDevelopment #EnergyTransition #StrategicPartnership #CriticalMaterials #MiningNews #SustainableMining

THE WORST outbreak of Ebola in history is underway in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Many will respond to that news with skepticism given the way we were propagandized during the COVID outbreak five years ago. But facts are facts: Nearly 1600 people have died thus far in the outbreak and it's spreading much faster than the 2014 outbreak in West Africa. The infection fatality rate is upwards of 40%. By comparison, COVID only had an IFR of about 0.2%. In addition, this particular strain of Ebola has an incubation period of up to three weeks. That means somebody who appears to be well could conceivably travel on an international flight and bring the virus to another continent. So, fear mongering in this case is probably justified. Speaking of fear, a robotics company called Satyress has announced a new robot that looks like a giant metallic praying mantis with the head of a goat. It is ostensibly intended for jobs too dangerous for humans, like search and rescue missions after a natural disaster. However, it looks like Baphomet with an extra set of legs. That begs the question: What in the world were the designers thinking? We also discuss the invasion of the Spanish enclave of Ceuta by 60,000 military age men from Morocco. This is a very bad look for the pro-immigration leaders of the European Union and progressive Democrats here in the United States. Video from Ceuta showing young Moroccan men looting stores, breaking into homes, and attacking Spanish citizens is like something from a horror film. Also: Mayor Mamdani promises his city-run grocery stores will sell groceries at 30% below average cost elsewhere. That math don't math.

This episode covers real-life horror far more extreme than usual, including a Russian professor arrested in 2011 for keeping the mummified corpses of 29 women and girls in his apartment, each one fitted with a hidden music box. It also includes the story of a 19th-century whiskey heir who paid six handkerchiefs for a 10-year-old girl so he could watch cannibals kill and eat her, and the theory that Alexander the Great was declared dead nearly a week before he actually died. Content is more graphic than usual, so listener discretion is advised.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/necropolystREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8e5emeCHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:00:47.354 = Show Open00:01:58.356 = Alexander the Great00:05:52.710 = The Ravenous Beast of Gévaudan00:09:41.943 = The Rape and Burial of Jessica Lunsford ***00:11:55.911 = The Dyatlov Pass Incident00:15:29.080 = The Torture Dungeon of Leonard Lake and Charles Ng00:19:10.197 = Robert The Doll00:23:08.785 = The Disappearance and Eerie Return of Bobby Dunbar ***00:26:33.271 = Albert Fish – The Brooklyn Vampire00:30:06.498 = The Strange Disappearance of the Sodder Children00:34:28.570 = Anatoly Moskvin, The Russian Who Mummified Dead Girls00:38:41.505 = The Jameson Whiskey Cannibal ***00:42:29.572 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: March 2022Weird Darkness this episode gathers real-life horror too extreme for scripted television, spanning from ancient Macedonia to the Congo basin and landing, along the way, in a Russian apartment stacked with mummified girls.It opens with Alexander the Great, who collapsed in Babylon in 323 B.C. after a 24-hour drinking binge triggered a sudden fever, a stabbing pain in his back, and creeping paralysis that eventually left him speechless; doctors pronounced him dead at 32. His body reportedly stayed "pure and fresh" for six days afterward, evidence ancient Greeks took as proof of his divinity. In 2019, Dr. Katherine Hall of New Zealand's University of Otago proposed in the Ancient History Bulletin that Alexander actually suffered from Guillain-Barré Syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that paralyzes the body while leaving the mind fully intact; since fourth-century-B.C. doctors checked for breath rather than a pulse, Hall's theory suggests Alexander may have been declared dead nearly a week before he actually died, and was buried alive.From there, the story moves to 18th-century France, where a wolf-like creature killed or mauled close to 300 people across three years in the Gévaudan region, most of them women and children. Fourteen-year-old shepherdess Jeanne Boulet was the first confirmed victim in 1764; a fifteen-year-old girl killed a month later survived long enough to describe her attacker as "a horrible beast". Militia leader Jean-Baptiste Duhamel organized a 30,000-strong hunting party, and King Louis XV eventually dispatched his own bodyguard, François Antoine, who killed a large wolf in September 1765; the attacks resumed within months regardless. A farmer named Jean Chastel is credited with killing the actual beast using silver bullets, reportedly after finding human remains inside its stomach.Next, the episode turns to the 2005 murder of nine-year-old Jessica Lunsford in Homosassa, Florida. Convicted sex offender John Evander Couey broke into her family's home, took her to his trailer, raped her over three days, sealed her inside garbage bags, and buried her alive in his yard while she still clutched a stuffed dolphin her father had won her at a state fair. Prosecutors later determined Jessica may have still been alive in the house during Couey's first police interview. Couey was convicted of first-degree murder and kidnapping in March 2007 and died on death row of natural causes in 2009.From Florida, the episode jumps to the Ural Mountains and the Dyatlov Pass incident of January 1959, when hiking leader Igor Dyatlov and eight fellow students from the Ural Polytechnic Institute died during an expedition toward Otorten Mountain. Investigators found their tent slashed open from the inside and shoeless footprints leading nearly a mile into the forest; the first bodies recovered, dressed only in underwear despite temperatures near negative 20 degrees Fahrenheit, were ruled hypothermia deaths. Two of the last four bodies found, Lyudmila Dubinina and Semyon Zolotaryov, were missing their eyeballs, Lyudmila was also missing her tongue, and both had clothing that tested positive for radioactivity. More than sixty years later, no single explanation, from avalanche to secret Soviet weapons testing, has been confirmed.The episode then moves to a cabin in California's Sierra Nevada foothills, where Leonard Lake and Charles Ng tortured and killed as many as 25 people between 1983 and 1985. Lake, a Vietnam veteran discharged for psychological reasons, built a cinderblock bunker behind a one-way mirror where he and Ng held women as sex slaves before killing them, dismembering the bodies, and dissolving the remains in acid; investigators eventually recovered twelve victims' remains along with roughly 40 pounds of charred bone. The pair was caught in June 1985 after Ng tried to shoplift a bench vise; Lake swallowed a cyanide capsule sewn into his jacket lining and died in custody before trial, while Ng was convicted of eleven murders in 1999 and remains on death row at San Quentin.Next comes Robert the Doll, manufactured by Germany's Steiff Company in 1904 and given to a Key West boy named Robert Eugene "Gene" Otto, who reportedly carried the doll everywhere and spoke of it in the first person. After Gene died in 1974, new owner Myrtle Reuter said the doll continued moving through her house with no explanation and eventually donated it to the Fort East Martello Museum, where curator Cori Convertito now oversees a steady stream of visitors who claim their cameras stop working in Robert's presence.From there, the episode circles back to 1912 Louisiana and the disappearance of four-year-old Bobby Dunbar from Swayze Lake. Eight months later, authorities found a boy matching his description traveling with a man named William Cantwell Walters, who insisted the child was Bruce Anderson, son of field hand Julia Anderson; the Dunbar family claimed the boy as their own anyway. It took until 2004, after years of research by Bobby's granddaughter Margaret Dunbar Cutwright, for a DNA test to prove the man raised as Bobby Dunbar shared no blood relation to the Dunbar family, meaning the real Bobby likely died in 1912 and the family had unknowingly raised Julia's son instead.The story turns next to Albert Fish, born in 1870 and later known as the Brooklyn Vampire, who spent decades torturing, killing, and cannibalizing children after enduring severe abuse in a New York orphanage as a boy. In 1928, posing as a farmer named Frank Howard, Fish lured ten-year-old Grace Budd away from her family and killed her; he wasn't identified until November 1934, when a letter he sent to Grace's mother describing the murder in graphic detail was traced back to him. Fish was executed in the electric chair at Sing Sing Prison on January 16th, 1936.Following that, the episode covers the unresolved 1945 Sodder children case in Fayetteville, West Virginia, where a Christmas Eve house fire killed, or apparently killed, five of George and Jennie Sodder's nine children. No bones were ever recovered from the wreckage despite a coroner attributing the deaths to the blaze, and the family spent decades chasing tips and alleged sightings after strangers had made ominous threats about the house burning down in the months before the fire. George and Jennie erected a billboard along Route 16 asking for information and died in 1968 and 1989, respectively, without ever learning their children's fate.From there, the story turns to Anatoly Moskvin, a Russian journalist and college professor fluent in thirteen languages who dubbed himself a "necropolyst" and visited 752 cemeteries around his hometown of Nizhny Novgorod. Moskvin was arrested in 2011 after police investigating the desecration of Muslim graves found him painting over photographs of the dead; a search of the apartment he shared with his parents turned up the mummified remains of 29 women and girls, dressed, made up with buttons for eyes, and fitted with music boxes inside their chests. Moskvin told investigators he dug up the bodies because he was lonely and confessed to 44 counts of abusing graves and corpses.The episode clos

Hi friends! We're taking a bit of a summer pause. We'll be back soon—in the meanwhile, enjoy this listener favorite from our archives! ----- [originally aired July 10, 2025] Childhood is a special time, a strange time. Children are adored and catered to—they're given their own menus and bedrooms. They're considered delicate and precious, and so we cushion them from every imaginable risk. Kids are encouraged to play, of course—but very often it's under the watchful eye of anxious adults. This, anyway, is how childhood looks in much of the United States today. But is this the way childhood looks everywhere? Is this the way human childhoods have always been? My guests today are Dr. Dorsa Amir and Dr. Sheina Lew-Levy. Dorsa is an Assistant Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience at Duke University, where she runs the Mind and Culture Lab. Sheina is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Durham University in the UK, where she co-directs the Forager Child Studies research group. Both Sheina and Dorsa have spent much of their careers thinking about how childhoods differ across cultures—and why. In this conversation, I talk with Dorsa and Sheina about their fieldwork with indigenous groups in Ecuador and the Congo, respectively. We discuss the different ways that childhood differs in these places—for instance, in terms of parents' attitudes toward risk, in terms of the social structures and activities in which kids are embedded, and in terms of the freedom that children are granted. We discuss developmental psychology's "WEIRD problem." We talk about the quasi-autonomous cultures that children create among themselves—sometimes called "peer cultures"—and discuss how these kid-driven cultures end up shaping and benefit the larger community. Along the way, we touch on adult supremacy, adverse childhood experiences, walking the forest and climbing papaya trees, parenting norms, ding dong ditch and "nananabooboo", the pioneering work of the folklorists Iona and Peter Opie, teaching, toys, and the enduring question of what childhood is for.   Alright friends, lots to think about here.

Hii leo tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayotupeleka nchini Kenya, katika Kijiji cha Embulbul kilichoko Kaunti ya Kajiado, ambako Shirika lisilo la kiserikali la Tulivu Safe Haven, lililoanzishwa kwa kushirikiana na wadau wakiwemo mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa, linatekeleza hatua mbalimbali za kuwasaidia wanawake. Hii ni pamoja na kuwaokoa na kuwahifadhi manusura wa ukatili wa kijinsia kwa kuwapatia makazi salama, ushauri nasaha, msaada wa kisheria na uwezeshaji wa kiuchumi, sambamba na kuwarejesha shuleni wasichana walionusurika. Je, nini kinafanyika? Kupitia video iliyoandaliwa na Redio washirika wetu Domus, Feissal Kirwa amefuatilia simulizi za manusura na kutuandalia makala hii. Pia tunakuletea muhtasari wa habari.Maabara tembezi ya kupima virusi vya Ebola imewekwa katika mji wa mpakani wa Kasenyi ulioko kati ya Uganda na Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, DRC ambako kuna hatari kubwa ya kushamiri kwa mlipuko wa Ebola kutokana na harakati nyingi za safari. Dkt. Olga Ntumba kutoka WHO ambayo inafadhili maabara hiyo inayotoa majibu ndani ya saa moja, amesema “virusi haviheshimu mipaka. Maabara hii ina mchango muhimu kubaini mapema wagonjwa, kuimarisha ufuatiliaji wa ugonjwa, kubadilishana taarifa na juhudi za mwitikio kwenye ukanda mzima.”Mioto ya nyika ikiendelea kutikisa maeneo ya kaskazini mwa dunia shirika la Umoja wa Matiafa la Afya duniani, WHO limekumbusha kuwa moshi utokanao na mioto hiyo ya nyika huvuka taifa, kanda na hata mabara na kuwa na madhara kwa watu hata wanaoishi mbali na moto wenyewe. Hivyo limetangaza mambo tisa ya kuzingatiwa ikiwemo kusikiliza taarifa za mamlaka kama vile viwango vya uchafuzi wa hewa, kuvaa barakoa na kusalia ndani ya nyumba na kufunga madirisha iwapo hujashauriwa kuhama.Na wiki ya kimataifa ya unyonyeshaji watoto maziwa ya mama ikianza kesho Agosti Mosi, Umoja wa Mataifa kupitia mashirika yake, lile la afya, (WHO) na la kuhudumia watoto, (UNICEF) umetaka nchi kuimarisha mifumo ya afya ili iweze kupatia akina mama na watoto wachanga msaada wa kufanikisha unyonyeshaji bora ambao ni msingi wa ukuaji bora wa mtoto na afya ya mama anayenyonyesha. Halikadhalika utekelezaji wa kanuni ya kimataifa kuhusu matangazo ya bidhaa za mbadala wa maziwa ya mama.Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kyanda, karibu!

En République démocratique du Congo, l'épidémie d'Ebola s'accélère à un rythme alarmant. En deux mois et demi, plus de 3.200 personnes ont été infectées, plus de 1.400 sont mortes et près de 580 ont guéri. Le nombre de cas double désormais tous les vingt jours.« L'épidémie d'Ebola progresse plus rapidement que notre réponse, et l'écart entre les deux continue de se creuser », alerte Julien Harneis, Coordonnateur principal des Nations Unies pour la riposte à Ebola.Dans cet extrait sonore, il décrit une riposte portée par une mobilisation collective exceptionnelle réunissant les autorités congolaises, les Nations Unies, les organisations humanitaires, les soignants, les volontaires et les communautés locales.Mais, prévient-il, cet engagement ne suffit plus à contenir un virus « impitoyable » qui continue de gagner du terrain. Il lance un appel à un sursaut de solidarité internationale. Propos recueillis par Priscilla Lecomte d'OCHA pour ONU Info.

En République démocratique du Congo, direction Kinshasa, dans la commune de Kasavubu. C'est là que se trouve un bar emblématique, ouvert au lendemain de l'indépendance. Une adresse chargée d'histoire, c'est l'un des bars les plus anciens de Kinshasa où se sont produits les plus grands noms de la rumba congolaise et où militants politiques et intellectuels avaient leurs habitudes. De notre correspondante à Kinshasa, Sur la scène du Kimpwanza Bar, l'orchestre de Werrason est en pleine répétition. Les portes du Kimpawanza bar ont ouvert dans les années 1950. À cette époque, les plus grands orchestres de rumba congolaise s'y produisent. Werrason est fier de s'inscrire dans cet héritage. « C'est un endroit historique où nos anciens ont commencé avant nous. Ils ont commencé à répéter là-bas. Les Zaïko Nyoka Longo, Viva La Musica aussi de Papa Wemba. Notre musique, là, qu'on fait, il y a des références. » Sur les murs du Kimpwanza Bar, de grands rideaux noirs et argentés créent une ambiance feutrée propice aux discussions politiques. Le bar était aussi un lieu de rendez-vous des intellectuels de l'époque. Explications de Christian Moleka, politologue. « Les bars à Kinshasa ont été l'ancêtre du café politique où les élites se rencontraient autour des mouvements culturels, puisque les partis politiques n'étaient pas autorisés avant 1955. Et donc, ce sont les mouvements culturels qui se réunissaient, où on lit à la fois mondanité, convivialité et jeu politique. » À lire aussiRDC: les autorités mettent un terme aux «folles nuits» de Kinshasa Les militants de l'Abako Kimpwanza bar Parmi les figures intellectuelles qui s'y retrouvaient, les militants de l'Abako, l'Alliance des Bakongo. D'ailleurs, juste en face du bar, trône la statue de l'ancien président Kasa-Vubu. « Il est habillé en uniforme de commandant suprême des armées et il a justement baptisé Kimpwanza. Ce bar, au nom de Kimpwanza, en kikongo signifie "l'indépendance".» Pierre Anatole Matusila avait 13 ans en 1960. Il est depuis devenu le président de l'Abako, un mouvement culturel qui s'est mué en parti politique. « Après les événements du 4 janvier 1959, quand notre parti était dissous et ses dirigeants arrêtés, les manifestations, les revendications contre l'ordre colonial se sont fait sentir plus au Bas-Congo. Donc, il y avait un grand mouvement pour contraindre la colonisation belge à fixer la date de l'indépendance. Donc, dans ces mouvements, en tout cas, les Bakongo avaient porté le flambeau de ces combats. » L'indépendance du pays est fixée au 30 juin 1960. Grand Kallé compose la célèbre chanson « Indépendance Cha Cha ». Et la légende dit qu'elle est jouée pour la première fois à Kinshasa au Kimpwanza Bar.

Hendrik "Hendri" Coetzee was one of the most decorated whitewater explorers in the history of African river kayaking — a South African who had paddled the length of the Nile, soloed some of the continent's most dangerous water, and built a life in places most people only read about. In late 2010, he led two world-class American kayakers on an ambitious first descent of the Lukuga River in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a remote stretch of water known among local communities for something far more dangerous than its rapids. On the morning of December 7th, on a quiet, flat section of river, everything ended in seconds. This episode tells Hendri's full story — who he was, what drove him, and what his teammates witnessed that morning — drawing entirely on verified accounts, his own writing, and the documentary record left behind by the people who were there. 00:00 Disaster Strikes Intro 00:45 Congo River Cold Open 02:40 Meet Hend Kotze 03:48 Early Life And Fear 05:12 Finding The Rivers 06:00 Nile Source To Sea 09:02 Solo Murchison Run 11:18 Risk And Depression 13:33 Final Congo Expedition 17:02 Into The Laga River 18:35 Crocodile Attack 21:43 Aftermath And Rescue 23:43 Memorial And Legacy 26:25 Lessons And Closing Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ REFERENCES Coetzee, H.

Imagine being three years old in the heart of the Congo. Your father has just died of cancer. Your mother is left alone to raise five children in a world of poverty, tribal conflict, and political chaos. By every human measure, your future should have been written in hardship and limitation. But that is not the story God wrote for Athanase Kadita Tshibaka—known to friends andcolleagues simply as A.T. In his powerful new memoir, Son of the Congo: A Journey of Tragedy, Triumph, and Transformation, A.T. takes us across six continents and nearly eight decades of an extraordinary life. From near-expulsion as a troubled student to graduating with top honors fromDartmouth and the Tuck School of Business, from surviving coups, wrongful imprisonment, and boardroom battles, to rising as a senior leader at Citigroup overseeing risk across 77 emerging markets, then serving as interim CEO ofOpportunity International. A.T.'s story is not just a rags-to-riches tale, it is also a living testimony of unwavering faith, resilience, and the quiet, miraculous hand of God that turns ashes into beauty. A.T. joins us now to share how a sonof the Congo became a global banking executive, a devoted husband, father, and grandfather as well as friend of ours at the James Wilson Institute—and why he believes every broken beginning can still lead to a divine destination.Learn more and purchase here Son of the Congo

Today's episode is a special bonus from the On the Ground with Samaritan's Purse hosted by Kristy Graham. What does it look like to trust God when He calls you into some of the world's most difficult and dangerous places? In this powerful episode, Kristy experiences firsthand what Samaritan's Purse Disaster Assistance Response Team members endure as they prepare to serve during the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Bev Kauffeldt, who has served on the last two Ebola responses, led Kristy through the training. Kristy got into the many layers of personal protection equipment to experience the process our DART members go through in the field. This inspired Kristy as she experienced the discomfort our teams willingly step into as they fight this dangerous outbreak. It also helped her know how to pray for our teams more specifically. At the training, Bev talked with Kristy about a passage of Scripture that has been on her heart: “This verse—I shared it with the team today because it's so perfect. In Acts 20:24, Paul says my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned to me by the Lord Jesus, the work of telling others of the good news about the wonderful grace of God.” — Bev Kauffeldt, paraphrasing Acts 20:24 As believers, we must have a posture of humility. Someone who speaks into this posture in this Ebola response is Dustin Martin, a water, sanitation and hygiene technical advisor who supports Samaritan's Purse field offices around the world. Dustin will likely go to the DRC soon. He shared how he is preparing both physically and spiritually to be deployed and why he desires to go serve in this dangerous situation. “I want to be able to go to the ends of the earth for people that I haven't even met before because that's what Christ did for me. He took on humility. He took on human form when He had no need to. And if He did that for me, there's just no appropriate response but to do that for others.” — Dustin Martin Once Kristy was out of the personal protective equipment, she met Kate Allen, an emergency doctor, who the Lord has called and sent to many DART responses, including Ukraine and Iraq. They spoke about putting on the armor of God, trusting that the Lord goes before us. We are not promised safety, but God does promise that He is with us always. “God doesn't say you're going to be absolutely fine … but He does promise that He goes with us. And He promises that He goes ahead. And He promises He hems us in from behind. So, we go with His Spirit, and we go knowing that He has a plan, and that He has already paid the ultimate price.” — Kate Allen If you'd like to keep up to date with more stories from On the Ground with Samaritan's Purse, please visit SamaritansPurse.org Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Hii leo jaridani tunaangazia mchakato wa kumpata Katibu Mkuu mpya wa UN,  juhudi za mashirika mbalimbali za kuhamazisha wananchi DRC kuhusu udhibiti wa Ebola, na mafunzo ya STEM viziwani Zanzibar zinazolenga kuimarisha kilimo cha mwani..Baraza la Usalama la Umoja wa Mataifa litakuwa na upigaji kura usio rasmi kesho Alhamisi wenye lengo la kutathmini uungwaji mkono wa wagombea saba waliojitokeza kumrithi Katibu Mkuu wa sasa Antonio Guterres anayemaliza muda wake mwishoni mwa mwaka huu. Je ni nini kinafanyika? Assumpta Massoi amekuwa anafuatilia mchakato huu na nimezungumza naye angalau atupatie kwa muhtasari.Kulingana na ripoti mpya kutoka mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa, mlipuko wa sasa wa Ebola ya Bundibugyo nchini Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, (DRC) umekuwa mmoja wa milipuko mibaya zaidi kuwahi kutokea nchini humo. Huko Bunia, jimboni Ituri ambako ni kitovu cha mlipuko wa sasa wafanyakazi wa misaada ya kibinadamu wakiwemo madaktari wanaongeza juhudi zao za kuwahudumia wagonjwa wakati huu ambapo ripoti zinasema watu zaidi ya 500 wamepona Ebola ya sasa.  wanajamii ili kuzuia kuenea zaidi kwa ugonjwa huo.Je, ingekuwaje kama kila kijana kutoka visiwa vya Zanzibar nchini Tanzania angeweza kugeuza zao la mwani kuwa suluhisho la kiuchumi la kesho yake? Hilo ndilo lengo mradi wa shirika la kiraia la ProjeKt Inspire kupitia programu yake ya Girls in STEM, au Wasichana kwenye masomo ya Sayansi, Teknolojia, Uhandisi na Hisabati, unaoungwa mkono na Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto, UNICEF kwa ufadhili wa  Canada. Kupitia warsha wa siku tatu ya  masomo ya  STEM, wanafunzi wamejifunza kutumia masomo hayo kuongeza thamani ya zao la mwani na kuendeleza Uchumi wa buluu.Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kayanda, karibu!

« Fini le suspense ! », s'exclame le site de Radio Okapi à Kinshasa : « La loi portant organisation du referendum en RDC a été déclarée hier conforme à la constitution par la Cour constitutionnelle ». « Derrière cette décision, pointe Le Journal de Kinshasa, se joue un débat qui divise profondément la classe politique congolaise. Pour l'opposition, cette loi pourrait (en effet) ouvrir la voie à une réforme constitutionnelle susceptible de permettre au chef de l'État de prolonger son maintien au pouvoir. Dans le camp présidentiel, cette lecture est catégoriquement rejetée. La réforme, assure-t-on, viserait plutôt à améliorer le fonctionnement des institutions ». « Au pouvoir depuis 2019 en RDC, rappelle Jeune Afrique, Félix Tshisekedi, 63 ans, arrive au terme de son second mandat fin 2028. La Constitution congolaise stipule actuellement que le nombre et la durée des mandats du président ne peuvent faire l'objet d'aucune révision ». Mais, « lors d'une rare conférence de presse début mai, Félix Tshisekedi avait assuré qu'il n'avait "pas sollicité de troisième mandat" tout en déclarant : "si le peuple souhaite que j'aie un troisième mandat, j'accepterai" ». L'opposition vent debout Alors une première étape a été franchie… « Le président Félix Tshisekedi a désormais les coudées franches pour promulguer la loi référendaire, déjà adoptée par l'Assemblée nationale et validée par le Sénat », relève Afrik.com. Et l'opposition est donc vent debout : « pour elle, promulguer la loi référendaire pourrait ouvrir la voie à une révision de la Constitution qui, à son tour, pourrait permettre à Félix Tshisekedi de remettre son compteur à zéro et de briguer un troisième mandat. Cette éventualité, poursuit Afrik.com, n'est même pas envisageable du point de vue de l'opposition. C'est la raison pour laquelle elle se mobilise depuis plusieurs semaines pour faire échec à toute velléité de révision constitutionnelle. Pour l'instant, le gouvernement congolais n'a rien dit qui puisse justifier la méfiance de l'opposition. Mais Félix Tshisekedi lui-même avait laissé entendre, il y a quelques semaines, qu'il ne cracherait pas sur un troisième mandat si la proposition lui était faite par le peuple ». L'Église catholique aussi… Pour sa part, l'Église catholique, très influente en RDC, se prononce également contre tout changement constitutionnel. En effet, précise le site Afrique XXI : « La Cenco, la Conférence épiscopale du Congo, qui rassemble les évêques de toutes les provinces, a publié une sentence sans appel sur les projets de changement de Constitution du président. Les prélats congolais ont assuré avec fermeté qu'"ils ne voyaient ni la nécessité, ni l'urgence, ni l'opportunité de modifier la Constitution". Un désaveu alors que cette modification doit lui permettre de briguer un troisième mandat. En exprimant leur veto, les prélats catholiques ont fait preuve de constance, relève encore Afrique XXI : nul n'a oublié les nombreuses manifestations inspirées par les Églises en 2018 et visant à dissuader le président sortant Joseph Kabila de se représenter au terme de son deuxième mandat, qui, selon la Constitution, devait être le dernier. À l'époque, sous la pression de la rue, mais aussi face à la réprobation internationale et aux menaces de sanctions, Joseph Kabila s'était incliné, non sans regrets ». Un dialogue ? Quel dialogue ? En tout cas, le débat sur la Constitution pourrait être abordé lors du dialogue politique qui pourrait voir le jour dans les prochaines semaines… Cela fait beaucoup de conditionnels… En effet, relève Afrikarabia, site spécialisé sur la RDC, « Félix Tshisekedi a chargé les confessions religieuses d'organiser un dialogue politique, dont tous les contours restent à définir, notamment sur son caractère réellement inclusif (faut-il rassembler tous les protagonistes de la crise congolaise, dont l'ancien président Kabila ?). (…) Sur les thématiques de ce dialogue, on observe une différence de vues, pointe le site, entre le gouvernement, centré sur la cohésion nationale contre l'agression rwandaise, et l'opposition, vent debout contre le changement de la Constitution. Le chef de l'État aurait la volonté d'aborder "toutes les questions d'intérêt national". Le débat sur la Constitution ne serait donc pas tabou. (…) Reste, remarque enfin Afrikarabia, à éviter les pièges de ce type d'exercice dont les pouvoirs en place se servent pour affaiblir les oppositions en proposant un énième partage du pouvoir ».

Mais elle relate aussi tout ce que le corps invente pour survivre, aimer, créer et résister.

What does it actually take to keep your body healthy through rehearsals, performances, flights, hotels, and the demands of life on the road? Athletic trainer Adam Quigley has supported artists and tours including Post Malone, Lorde, Tyla, Karol G, the Jabbawockeez, 5 Seconds of Summer, plus broadway tours like MJ the Musical and Moulin Rouge, helping performers care for their bodies through the unique physical demands of touring. In this conversation, Adam shares practical strategies for staying healthy on the road while challenging dancers to think of themselves as athletes. We discuss how to build a warm-up that supports the demands of dance, what to pack on tour, navigating time zone changes and travel fatigue, fueling your body while traveling, and why recovery deserves just as much attention as performance. Adam also shares his philosophy of care, explains why movement is medicine, and offers practical advice for preventing small issues from becoming bigger ones. The conversation also explores the physical and mental comedown after tour - something many dancers experience but rarely discuss, despite how important it can be for long-term health and performance. Whether you're touring internationally, teaching on weekends, traveling for work, or simply want to build a longer, healthier dance career, this episode is packed with practical tools to help you take better care of your body.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayotupeleka mashariki mwa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, DRC kusikiliza simulizi za wananchi kuhusu uhamazishaji wa kudhibiti Ebola. Pia tunakuletea muhtasari wa habari.Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Kupambana na Dawa za Kulevya na Uhalifu, UNODC, imeonya kuhusu ongezeko la usafirishaji haramu wa binadamu unaofanyika kupitia matangazo bandia ya mitadaoni ya fursa za ajira. Zaidi ya watu 300,000 wanakadiriwa kushikiliwa katika vituo vya ulaghai Kusini-Mashariki mwa bara la Asia, ambako hunyang'anywa hati za kusafiria na kulazimishwa kufanya utapeli mtandaoni.Kamanda wa Kikosi cha Ujumbe wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa kulinda amani nchini Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo DRC, MONUSCO, Luteni Jenerali Ulisses De Mesquita Gomes, amethibitisha dhamira ya ujumbe huo ya kuimarisha usalama wa vituo vya afya katika eneo la Mongbwalu, jimboni Ituri, ambalo ni kitovu cha mlipuko wa Ebola. Amesema mashambulizi ya makundi yenye silaha na watu kuyakimbia makazi yao vinaweza kuvuruga ufuatiliaji wa wagonjwa na upatikanaji wa matibabu.  Walinda amani wa Nepal wanaendelea kulinda raia na miundombinu ya afya, kwa kushirikiana na jeshi la Congo na mamlaka za eneo hilo.Na Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Dawa za Kulevya na Uhalifu, UNODC, imeonya kuhusu ongezeko la usafirishaji haramu wa binadamu unaofanyika kupitia matangazo bandia ya ajira mtandaoni.

En République démocratique du Congo, les malewa sont des petits restaurants de rue, prisés des Kinois pour la pause déjeuner. On y mange des plats locaux, populaires et surtout bon marché. De notre correspondante à Kinshasa, Bienvenue chez maman Mireille, la gérante d'un malewa, ces petits restaurants à ciel ouvert qui s'installent chaque midi sur les trottoirs de Kinshasa, la capitale de la RDC. Sur une table en bois brinquebalante sont disposées plusieurs casseroles, qui contiennent les plats du jour. « Pour le repas, nous avons aujourd'hui du porc, du gombo, de la courge, du poisson, des haricots et du poulet », explique-t-elle. Cela fait six ans que Mireille gère son malewa. Tous les matins, elle part au marché acheter ses produits et les cuisine directement sur place, avec du simple charbon de bois. « J'ai appris à cuisiner avec ma tante. Je partais avec elle à son malewa et je l'aidais à cuisiner. Je ne gagne pas beaucoup d'argent, mais au moins, j'ai un petit travail, sinon je n'ai rien. Je suis très fière quand les clients disent que c'est bon chez moi. C'est le bouche-à-oreille qui amène les clients », confie-t-elle. À lire aussiLes délices du continent [1/10]: en RDC, le poulet mayo, plat emblématique de Kinshasa Devant elle, les clients font la queue et, chacun leur tour, soulèvent les couvercles des casseroles pour faire leurs choix. Chaque plat a son prix pour s'adapter aux budgets les plus serrés. Pour Alphonse, chauffeur de bus, aller au malewa lui permet de manger un repas complet à moindre coût. « Par manque de moyens, j'ai mangé des boules de foufou et les feuilles de manioc et pour pas cher, avec 5 000 francs CFA [1,90 euros, NDLR]. J'ai bien mangé, c'est bien pour le ventre », témoigne-t-il. À ses côtés, Ange, une fonctionnaire qui travaille dans le quartier, est une habituée des lieux. « Elle prépare vraiment très bien. Elle met des épices comme on prépare à la maison à Kinshasa », assure-t-elle. Dans cette capitale tentaculaire, rares sont ceux qui ont le temps de rentrer chez eux pour le déjeuner. Le malewa est donc une solution pratique pour Christopher. « J'habite loin du centre-ville, et je quitte la maison très tôt le matin sans manger. À midi, j'ai faim, je mange quelque chose chez Mireille, c'est juste à côté du travail et ça me permet d'avoir de l'énergie pour le reste de la journée », explique-t-il. À 16 heures, les casseroles de Mireille sont généralement vides. Elle les range sous sa petite table en bois, prêtes à être utiliser. Chaque jour, Mireille cuisine pour une centaine de clients.

Today's episode is a special bonus from the On the Ground with Samaritan's Purse podcast, hosted by Kristy Graham. What does it look like to trust God when He calls you into some of the world's most difficult and dangerous places? In this powerful episode, Kristy experiences firsthand what Samaritan's Purse Disaster Assistance Response Team members endure as they prepare to serve during the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Bev Kauffeldt, who has served on the last two Ebola responses, led Kristy through the training. Kristy got into the many layers of personal protection equipment to experience the process our DART members go through in the field. This inspired Kristy as she experienced the discomfort our teams willingly step into as they fight this dangerous outbreak. It also helped her know how to pray for our teams more specifically. At the training, Bev talked with Kristy about a passage of Scripture that has been on her heart: “This verse—I shared it with the team today because it's so perfect. In Acts 20:24, Paul says my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned to me by the Lord Jesus, the work of telling others of the good news about the wonderful grace of God.” — Bev Kauffeldt, paraphrasing Acts 20:24 As believers, we must have a posture of humility. Someone who speaks into this posture in this Ebola response is Dustin Martin, a water, sanitation and hygiene technical advisor who supports Samaritan's Purse field offices around the world. Dustin will likely go to the DRC soon. He shared how he is preparing both physically and spiritually to be deployed and why he desires to go serve in this dangerous situation. “I want to be able to go to the ends of the earth for people that I haven't even met before because that's what Christ did for me. He took on humility. He took on human form when He had no need to. And if He did that for me, there's just no appropriate response but to do that for others.” — Dustin Martin Once Kristy was out of the personal protective equipment, she met Kate Allen, an emergency doctor, who the Lord has called and sent to many DART responses, including Ukraine and Iraq. They spoke about putting on the armor of God, trusting that the Lord goes before us. We are not promised safety, but God does promise that He is with us always. “God doesn't say you're going to be absolutely fine … but He does promise that He goes with us. And He promises that He goes ahead. And He promises He hems us in from behind. So, we go with His Spirit, and we go knowing that He has a plan, and that He has already paid the ultimate price.” — Kate Allen If you'd like to keep up to date with more stories from On the Ground with Samaritan's Purse, please visit SamaritansPurse.org Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

“It's kind of in the DNA of American bourgeois capitalist politics: demonize your enemy, call them a communist, and that's the end of the story. But there's another element, which is the Republican Party, the MAGA project, Project 2025 — the Trump White House is failing.” The House Ways and Means Committee has sent a subpoena to BreakThrough News, demanding internal communications, financial records and more. We are not charged with any crime, because our only “crime” has been to tell the truth – about the Palestine solidarity movement, about ICE's terror in our streets, about Washington's crimes around the world, from Cuba to the Congo. This is a flagrant abuse of power, and a direct attack on our work as journalists and on the First Amendment.The State Department's dangerous “Cuba report” released Monday – blasting Havana as the global center of a sinister anti-American communist plot by Russia, China, Iran, North Korea– is just the latest step in the Trump administration's McCarthyist revival. But attacks on the left didn't start with Trump: Brian Becker, host of the Socialist Program, joins BT Live to discuss how this latest crackdown on free speech is rooted in US history: From the Palmer Raids to COINTELPRO, every time a mass movement for a more just world starts to gain real traction, the state reaches for the same playbook.DONATE / SIGN THE PETITION: https://breakthroughnews.org/bt-under-attack

President Donald Trump approves a landmark energy deal that will establish a civilian nuclear programme in Saudi Arabia.
