It's Wednesday, July 16th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Christians losing property rights in India, Nepal and Pakistan International Christian Concern reports Christians are losing their property rights and access to land in South Asian nations like India, Nepal, and Pakistan. In particular, India's second-most populous state of Maharashtra plans to demolish hundreds of church buildings within six months. Officials claim the structures are unauthorized, and many of them are in tribal areas. The government also plans to enact an anti-conversion law. Such laws are often used to target Christians in the country. Currently, 12 of 28 states in India have anti-conversion laws. South Asian nations like India are ranked on the Open Doors' World Watch List as some of the most difficult places to live as a Christian. World population growth slowing down Pew Research recently released world population projections for the next 75 years. The global population more than tripled over the last 75 years from 2.5 to 8.2 billion people. However, population growth is expected to slow down, only reaching 10.2 billion by 2100. Currently, the most populous countries in the world are China, India, and the U.S. China's population is expected to shrink by more than half over the next 75 years, while the U.S. and India are expected to grow slightly. Global population growth is projected to primarily come from nations in Africa like Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, and Tanzania. 10th anniversary of undercover videos exposing Planned Parenthood This week marks 10 years since the Center for Medical Progress released their first undercover videos exposing Planned Parenthood. Executives for the abortion giant were caught discussing how they sold the body parts of murdered babies. The undercover investigation has contributed to efforts for defunding Planned Parenthood. Troy Newman, the president of Operation Rescue, served as a founding member on the board of the Center for Medical Progress. He said, “I am honored to have been a part of this historic investigation, even though it came at great personal cost to those of us involved in revealing the horrific truth about the illicit trade in aborted baby parts. Today's Planned Parenthood is vastly different from what it was in 2015. It is a weaker organization with waning political influence that is now collapsing from within.” Proverbs 6:17 says that among the seven things God hates are “haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood.” Trump threatens Russia with tariff to get peace deal with Ukraine In a public meeting with NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened severe tariffs on Monday if Russia doesn't come to a peace deal with Ukraine in the next 50 days. TRUMP: “One of the reasons that you're here today is to hear that we are very unhappy, I am, with Russia. We're very, very unhappy with them. And we're going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don't have a deal in 50 days, tariffs at about 100%. You'd call them secondary tariffs. You know what that means.” (His comments occur at the :45 mark of this video) Trump also said the United States will sell top-of-the-line weapons to countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. In turn, NATO countries would then be able to provide such weapons like the Patriot air defense system to Ukraine. Trump wants Federal Reserve to lower interest to save trillion dollars The U.S. consumer price index rose by 0.3% last month. That put the 12-month inflation rate at 2.7%. Prices have been generally decreasing over the last year, but the inflation rate is still above the Federal Reserve's target of 2%. Trump responded to the news by calling on the Fed to lower interest rates by three points. He said this would save an estimated one trillion dollars on debt payments. Bible readers most likely to volunteer in community And finally, the American Bible Society released the fourth chapter of its State of the Bible USA 2025 report. The chapter evaluated activities that promote wellbeing like physical exercise, spending time with a friend, volunteering in the community, meditation, and praying to God. The study found people who engage the most with the Bible are also the most likely to engage in those activities, especially volunteering in the community. Such activities were also associated with higher levels of hope and lower levels of stress, anxiety, and loneliness. However, people who attend church regularly experienced even better results in those areas. 1 Timothy 4:8 says, “For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, July 16th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Un informe señala que hubo 66 denuncias de explotación sexual y abuso contra miembros de la Misión de Naciones Unidas en la República Democrática del Congo.
C'est un métal discret mais indispensable. Présent dans nos téléphones, nos ordinateurs, nos voitures, et surtout dans les semi-conducteurs, le cuivre est devenu l'un des piliers de notre économie numérique et énergétique. Et pourtant, il est aujourd'hui en danger.Depuis les années 2000, 28 millions de tonnes de cuivre sont extraites chaque année à travers le monde, selon l'International Copper Association. Mais face à l'intensification des sécheresses, cette exploitation est de plus en plus menacée. Car extraire du cuivre, c'est aussi consommer énormément d'eau. 1 600 litres, rien que pour récupérer les 19 kilos nécessaires à une voiture thermique. Pour un véhicule électrique ? Il faut quatre fois plus. Et c'est bien là le problème. Le Chili, premier producteur mondial, fait face à des sécheresses chroniques, tout comme le Pérou, le Mexique ou encore la République démocratique du Congo. Des régions-clés pour le cuivre, et donc pour l'industrie électronique mondiale. En 2021, Taïwan, le plus gros producteur de semi-conducteurs, a connu une sécheresse sévère. Résultat : l'approvisionnement en cuivre a chuté, et avec lui, une partie de la chaîne économique mondiale.Selon PwC, d'ici 2035, un tiers du cuivre nécessaire à la production de semi-conducteurs pourrait ne plus être disponible. Et près de 60 % en 2050. Le tout, alors que la demande mondiale va exploser, poussée par les énergies renouvelables et l'électrification des transports. Quelles solutions ? Plusieurs pays misent sur la désalinisation de l'eau de mer, ou sur des matériaux alternatifs comme l'argent ou les nano-carbones. Mais surtout, le recyclage apparaît comme une priorité. En 2022, un tiers du cuivre utilisé dans le monde provenait déjà de matériaux recyclés. Et ce n'est pas anodin : recycler le cuivre permet d'économiser jusqu'à 80 % d'énergie par rapport à une extraction classique. Alors oui, les estimations parlent encore de 5 000 millions de tonnes en réserve. Mais ces chiffres reposent sur des scénarios très optimistes. Une chose est sûre : si notre consommation ne ralentit pas, ces réserves pourraient s'épuiser en à peine 30 ans. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Ce sont désormais les trois-quarts des zones de santé de Kinshasa qui sont touchées par le choléra, dans le sillage des récentes inondations qui ont affecté la capitale congolaise. Alors que le président Félix Tshisekedi s'inquiète de capacités hospitalières et funéraires sous forte tension, avec nos invités, et les témoignages des auditeurs, nous nous intéressons à la mobilisation des soignants, l'approvisionnement des structures de santé, mais aussi la surveillance épidémiologique, le dépistage, et les campagnes de sensibilisation. La présence du choléra ne se limite pas à la seule capitale de la RDC, où l'on dénombre au moins 834 cas et 78 morts, mais des cas sont également signalés dans la région du lac Kivu, dans l'est, en particulier dans la communauté des orpailleurs de Lomera. Le choléra est une maladie diarrhéique sévère, qui peut conduire à la mort en quelques heures en l'absence de traitement. Il est causé par la consommation d'aliments ou d'eau contaminés par une bactérie, le bacille vibrio-cholerae. De quoi ces flambées sont-elles symptomatiques ? Comment prévenir et prendre en charge le choléra ? Comment enrayer les épidémies ? Pr Stéphane Jaureguiberry, infectiologue et chef de service des maladies infectieuses et tropicales à l'Hôpital Bicêtre APHP, au Kremlin-Bicêtre, en région parisienne Dr Didier Gasigwa, épidémiologiste, directeur adjoint au Programme National d'Élimination du Choléra et de lutte contre les autres Maladies Diarrhéiques (PNECHOL-MD) en République Démocratique du Congo.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 3-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 22,618 on turnover of 3.5-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed lower Monday as investors remained concerned U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policies after he intensified trade tensions by announcing a 30 percent levy on imports from Europe and Mexico over the weekend. Analysts say the bellwether electronics sector led the downturn on the broader market as investors locked in profits built by the sector last week, helping the Taiex rebound. KMT Volunteers Receive Deferred Prosecution for Forged Recall Petitions Nineteen individuals associated with the KMT New Taipei City party headquarters have been granted deferred prosecution, in a case involving forged recall petitions. The New Taipei District Prosecutor's Office is investigating alleged forgery in recall petitions targeting DPP legislators including Su Chiao-hui, Chang Hong-lu and Lee Kun-cheng, indicting over 31 people on charges related to violating personal data protection laws and forgery last month. Now the office says 19 individuals, including KMT volunteers and relatives, admitted to forging (偽造) signatures on recall petitions, and received a one-year deferred prosecution. The individuals must also complete three hours of legal education and eighter pay a fine of up to $30-thousand NT to the public treasury, or perform 40 hours of community service. (NS) Trump threatens 100% tariffs if no Ukraine-Russia ceasfire in 50 days US President Donald Trump has threatened "secondary tariffs" if Russia does not reach a ceasefire (停火) deal with Ukraine in the next 50 days. He has also agreed to send new weapons to Ukraine under an agreement that will see NATO members buy American-made arms. Nick Harper reports from Washington. UN Global Vaccine Coverage Report Warns of Unequal Access U.N. health officials reported that more than 14 million children did not receive a single vaccine last year. In their annual estimate of global vaccine coverage, released today, the World Health Organization and UNICEF said access to vaccines remained “deeply unequal” and that conflict and humanitarian crises quickly unraveled progress. The data showed that nine countries accounted for 52% of all children who missed out on immunizations entirely: Nigeria, India, Sudan, Congo, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Yemen, Afghanistan and Angola. The WHO and UNICEF said that coverage against measles rose slightly, with 76% of children worldwide receiving both vaccine doses. But experts say measles vaccine rates need to reach 95% to prevent outbreaks of the extremely contagious (傳染性的) disease. WHO noted that 60 countries reported big measles outbreaks last year, including the US, which is now having its worst measles outbreak in more than three decades. Germany Tarantula Smuggling Attempt Busted Customs officials have released photos from a seizure of roughly 1-thousand-500 young tarantulas found inside plastic containers that had been hidden in chocolate spongecake boxes shipped to an airport in western Germany. Customs officials said the shipment was found at Cologne Bonn airport in a package that had arrived from Vietnam. The tarantulas were discovered three weeks ago. But the customs office only made the photos public on Monday. The office says many of the eight-legged creatures didn't survive the trip, while survivors were given to the care of an expert handler. Criminal proceedings are underway (正在進行) against the intended recipient. That was the I.C.R.T.

The hero shrew of Congo possesses an extraordinary spine that can withstand a full-grown person standing on it, yet remains flexible enough for the animal to turn completely around in tight spaces. This remarkable backbone defies evolutionary explanations with its unique interlocking vertebrae and specialized muscles found nowhere else in nature. Scientists have struggled to explain how such complex engineering could arise through gradual evolution. Despite discovering what they claim is an evolutionary intermediate, researchers still cannot identify the specific behavior that would drive such dramatic spinal modifications. The Mangbetu people have long marveled at this creature's incredible strength, but modern science continues to search for answers about its origins and purpose.

Clint Leavitt believes that every great story we love is actually pointing us toward something bigger. As pastor of Midtown Presbyterian Church in Phoenix, he's discovered how fiction can serve as shadows of the deepest reality, and how narratives can pierce through our purely rational defences to reach the heart. His approach to ministry focuses on creating space for sceptics, deconstructors, and question-askers, building trust through shared stories and artistic mediums rather than demanding immediate belief. In this conversation, Clint shares his journey from selling flip books on elementary school playgrounds to becoming a Tomatometer-approved film critic, pastor, and author. His latest book, "Cockroaches, God, Death, and Mangos," tells the remarkable refugee story of his friend from the Democratic Republic of Congo, one of the bloodiest conflicts in world history since World War II. Through this friendship, Clint discovered how western colonization continues to impact current refugee crises, and how the church is called to expand its vision beyond national borders to embrace God's heart for the marginalised and displaced.

Le saviez-vous ? En 1968, Miriam Makeba, la chanteuse africaine la plus célèbre au monde fait le choix de quitter les États-Unis pour s'installer à Conakry avec son révolutionnaire de mari Stokely Carmichael, le leader du mouvement Black Power. Le couple panafricain va servir la révolution socialiste de Sékou Touré ! Cette histoire aussi fascinante que méconnue est documentée par Elara Bertho, chargée de recherche au CNRS au sein du Laboratoire Les Afriques dans le monde (LAM). Historienne de la littérature, elle revisite les années 70 marquées par une extrême violence envers les noirs, que ce soit aux États-Unis ou en Afrique du Sud, mais depuis Conakry, capitale de la Guinée indépendante dirigée par Ahmed Sékou Touré depuis 1958 et son célèbre « Non » à la communauté française proposée par le Général de Gaulle. Une indépendance immédiate, en rupture avec la France, et un choix politique clair : celui du socialisme. Anticolonialiste, panafricaniste, Sékou Touré soutient les luttes de libération et accueille combattants clandestins et réfugiés politiques. Pour Stokely Carmichael, théoricien du Black Power et de la colonialité, des millions de Noirs sont justement devenus des réfugiés politiques à l'époque. « Dans le monde entier, il y a des centaines de milliers, je dirais même des millions de réfugiés politiques noirs, et nous devenons des réfugiés politiques dans le monde. Et nous n'avons absolument rien à voir avec les luttes politiques qui se déroulent, les luttes politiques des Blancs. Mais ce sont des luttes politiques blanches pour le contrôle des Noirs, et nous sommes pris au milieu. Chaque fois qu'il y a un coup d'État dans un pays africain, qui est provoqué par les forces impérialistes occidentales blanches, des milliers de Noirs doivent alors fuir. Prenons l'exemple du Congo. Au Congo, il y avait (Moïse) Tshombe, Mobutu et Lumumba. Lorsque les forces impérialistes blanches ont tué Lumumba, des dizaines de milliers de Noirs vivant au Congo ont dû fuir le pays à la recherche d'un refuge politique dans les pays environnants, affirme-t-il au micro de Hayward Henry aux USA en 1968 (Archive Afro-Marxist). Et des milliers de personnes ont dû fuir lorsque Nkrumah a été renversé, ce sont les forces blanches qui contrôlent les richesses. Ma femme (Miriam Makeba) est une réfugiée politique de son propre pays, née et élevée en Afrique du Sud. Certains envahisseurs blancs viennent expulser les Noirs de leur propre terre et leur disent qu'ils ne peuvent pas y retourner. Nous avons des milliers de réfugiés politiques d'Afrique du Sud, du Mozambique, d'Angola, de Guinée-Bissau, toute l'Afrique est inondée de réfugiés politiques noirs, et maintenant les États-Unis complotent pour déplacer ce phénomène dans les Caraïbes. Et enfin, bien sûr, vers les États-Unis.» Lors de ses différentes visites à Conakry, Miriam Makeba, infatigable militante contre l'apartheid en Afrique du Sud, s'est vue plusieurs fois proposer l'accueil de la Guinée. C'est ainsi qu'en 1968, après leur mariage le 29 Avril à New-York, Miriam Makeba et Stokely Carmichael s'envolent pour Conakry et s'engagent au service de la révolution culturelle lancée par Sékou Touré… un récit aux sons de nos archives sonores et musicales !

Candidat ou pas ? Au Cameroun, l'avenir du président Biya provoque de multiples débats depuis que le porte-parole du gouvernement et celui du parti au pouvoir ont affiché publiquement leur désaccord. C'était au début de la semaine sur RFI. Ce vendredi, voici la réaction de Christopher Fomunyoh. Mais comme le grand essayiste camerounais est aussi le directeur Afrique du National Democratic Institute, un think tank américain proche du Parti démocrate, il s'exprime d'abord sur le sommet organisé mercredi par Donald Trump. En ligne de Washington, Christopher Fomunyoh répond à C. Boisbouvier. RFI : « Plus de commerce, moins d'aide », a dit en substance Donald Trump aux cinq chefs d'État africains qu'il a reçus ce mercredi à la Maison Blanche. Qu'est-ce que vous pensez de cette nouvelle approche des États-Unis avec l'Afrique ? Christopher Fomunyoh : Effectivement, je pense que peut-être, compte tenu des richesses naturelles existant sur le continent, ça va ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives. Et nous l'avons ressenti parce que, mercredi, les cinq chefs d'États à tour de rôle, chacun parlait des richesses naturelles de son pays. Et il est envisagé un autre sommet, peut-être au mois de septembre à New York, et peut-être que ça va changer le paradigme. Les contrats miniers, c'est l'un des arguments que les États-Unis mettent à présent sur la table. Est-ce qu'après 25 ans d'échec dans les Grands Lacs, cette stratégie pourrait réussir ? Peut-être que les deux États du Congo et du Rwanda, voyant un intérêt commun dans la possibilité de nouvelles richesses dans l'exploitation des minerais, pourront s'entendre à régler leurs conflits par des voies de négociations. Donc c'est à encourager si ça peut calmer les choses et éviter la perte en vies humaines qu'a connu le Congo à l'est de son territoire, c'est vraiment à saluer. Alors à propos de ces matières premières, pour l'instant, c'est la Chine qui exploite le plus de terres rares en Afrique. Est-ce que les États-Unis ont raison ou pas de vouloir entrer en compétition avec la Chine sur le terrain africain ? Effectivement, la compétition avec la Chine, je ne serais pas surpris si cela était entré dans le calcul par rapport même à l'invitation des cinq pays dont les chefs d'États se trouvent à Washington en ce moment. Donc, a priori, Washington a pris soin d'inviter cinq chefs d'États qui résistent à la force d'attraction de la Chine ? Je ne sais pas si c'est cela, l'indicateur qui a motivé le choix de ces cinq pays, mais c'est quand même des pays qui, à divers degrés, contiennent des ressources qui peuvent attirer le secteur privé américain. Sur RFI et France 24, au mois de mars dernier, le nouveau président du Gabon, Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, a révélé que les Chinois avaient souhaité installer une base militaire sur les côtes gabonaises, mais que le Gabon avait décliné la proposition. Est-ce que vous pensez que c'est l'une des raisons pour lesquelles ce président était invité à la Maison Blanche ce mercredi ? Effectivement, ça se voit que, depuis la transition au Gabon, le Gabon essaie de peser aussi dans les conversations diplomatiques avec Washington. On l'a ressenti aussi mercredi lorsque le nouveau président gabonais a fait étalage de son ouverture. Vous êtes Camerounais et vous suivez avec beaucoup d'attention le début de la campagne pour la présidentielle d'octobre prochain. Cette semaine, on a entendu le porte-parole du gouvernement nous dire que la candidature de Paul Biya à un huitième mandat n'était sûre qu'à 50%. Puis le porte-parole du parti au pouvoir RDPC nous dire que cette candidature était sûre à 100%. Comment vous réagissez ? Cela ne me surprend pas du tout. Tout au contraire, ça démontre ce que nous avons toujours décrié avec le régime en place, parce que nous avons vu le ministre René Sadi, par exemple, qui semble prendre la mesure de l'angoisse dans laquelle vivent les populations camerounaises quant à l'effectivité de la gouvernance et de la gestion du pouvoir par le président Paul Biya. Il a essayé d'être rationnel et même de rassurer dans une certaine mesure ces populations-là. Mais quelques heures après, nous avons été très surpris que le ministre Fame Ndongo sorte en se lançant dans un sophisme exacerbé, qui prête à confusion non seulement pour les Camerounais, mais aussi pour tous les Africains qui regardent avec curiosité ce qui se passe au Cameroun. Si Paul Biya vous demandait conseil aujourd'hui, qu'est-ce que vous lui diriez ? Je lui dirais clairement d'aller se reposer parce que, si je voulais être cynique, je dirais comme certains que la candidature de Paul Biya serait un cadeau. Le plus beau cadeau que le parti au pouvoir pourrait rendre à l'opposition. Parce que ce serait très facile de le battre dans une campagne où il ne pourra pas battre campagne, où il ne pourra pas faire des tournées dans les dix régions du pays, où il ne pourra pas interagir avec les journalistes et les populations. Mais je ne suis pas cynique à ce point. Je suis optimiste de nature et je lui dirais carrément : « en tant que grand-père, en tant qu'arrière-grand-père, c'est le moment de prendre votre retraite et d'être respecté par les Camerounais et par les Africains et par le monde entier ».

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 they 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 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. On to my conversation with Sheina Lew-Levy and Dorsa Amir. Enjoy! A transcript of this episode will be posted soon.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayotupeleka nchini Tanzania kushuhudia mafunzo ya ukufunzi kwa wanadhimu wa Umoja wa Mataifa. Pia tunakuletea muhtasari wa habari zikiwemo za mkataba wa amani DRC na Rwanda, UKIMWI, na maadhimisho ya Siku ya kimataifa ya Kiswahili, na uchambuzi wa neno.Wajumbe wa Baraza la Usalama la Umoja wa Mataifa wamekaribisha mkataba wa amani kati ya Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, DRC na Rwanda uliotiwa saini tarehe 27 mwezi uliopita wa Juni, huku wakishukuru Marekani, Qatar na Muungano wa Afrika kwa juhudi za usuluhishi.Ukata uliosababishwa na wahisani kukata au kupunguza ghafla na kwa kiasi kikubwa ufadhili kwenye miradi ya kupambana na UKIMWI umekuwa na madhara kwa nchi zilizoathiriwa vibaya na ugonjwa huo, imesema ripoti mpya ya shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kukabiliana na Ukimwi, UNAIDS.Leo kwenye Ofisi za Umoja wa Mataifa jijini Nairobi, Kenya kumefanyika maadhimisho ya siku ya kimataifa ya lugha ya Kiswahili ambapo wanafunzi wa Shule ya Sekondari ya Juu ya Mangu wametuma ujumbe wao wa umuhimu wa lugha hiyo kupitia ngonjera.Na katika kujifunza lugha ya Kiswahili na hii leo mchambuzi wetu mlumbi wa Kiswahili Joramu Nkumbi kutoka nchini Tanzania, anafafanua maana ya maneno "CHARAKAMU na BARAKALA!Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kayanda, karibu!
C'est « le défi de Doha », avec cette interrogation de Jeune Afrique : « Kinshasa et le M23 peuvent-ils trouver un accord ? ». Il y a une semaine, la République démocratique du Congo et le Rwanda ont trouvé un accord, sous la houlette américaine ; à présent, raconte le magazine, « un nouveau round » de discussions va avoir lieu, « cette fois entre les autorités congolaises et les rebelles du M23, que soutient le Rwanda ». Avec un objectif que rappelle Actualité.cd : « aboutir également à la signature d'un accord de paix » pour « mettre fin aux hostilités dans l'est de la RDC ». Une perspective à laquelle le New Times, au Rwanda, ne croit pas vraiment : « aucun texte final n'est prêt à être signé au Qatar, contrairement à ce que prétendent les réseaux sociaux », a affirmé au journal un porte-parole des rebelles. Ces derniers multiplient les prises de parole publique, dont une conférence de presse la semaine dernière au cours, relate Jeune Afrique, ils « ont énoncé une série de ‘mesures de confiance' censées faciliter la suite des discussions » - dit autrement, des doléances pour la suite du processus… L'AFC-M23 « n'a pas l'intention, alors qu'il a eu l'avantage sur le terrain militaire, de subir la discussion », juge une source diplomatique auprès du site spécialisé. Rien n'est encore fait Certes, « les Étasuniens ont forcé tout le monde à jouer carte sur table ». Pour autant, « les deux protagonistes poursuivront-ils dans cette voie ? ». Rien de moins sûr pour Afrique XXI, qui rappelle, pessimiste, que « la réalité a d'autres facettes ». D'autant que, dans l'accord de principe signé la semaine dernière, « aucune mesure contraignante ne semble avoir été prise à l'encontre » de l'AFC-M23, ni pour les forcer à faire preuve de bonne foi, ni sur la gouvernance des territoires conquis, gérés « avec la brutalité d'une force d'occupation ». Et puis, insiste encore le journal, le président congolais Félix Tshisekedi « a besoin d'un succès diplomatique à son actif et les apparences d'un accord pourraient lui suffire ». Des turbulences pour le clan présidentiel Plusieurs proches de Félix Tshisekedi sont attaqués en justice en Belgique. Un dossier « lourd de plus de cinquante pages » raconte l'Observateur Paalga, après le récent rapport d'une ONG dans lequel « il était question d'une prédation du clan Tshisekedi, dont une dizaine de membres posséderaient des exploitations minières au Katanga », explique le journal. « Sale temps pour le régime Tshisekedi ! » renchérit le Pays… Car cette situation, juge le journal « pointe directement du doigt la gouvernance du successeur de Joseph Kabila, qui promettait pourtant de faire dans la rupture ». Un scandale dont le chef d'État se serait bien passé, lui qui « ne sait déjà pas où donner de la tête avec la grave crise sécuritaire dans l'est du pays ». Entre « un contexte sociopolitique continuel conflictuel » et « une gestion jugée chaotique », la situation « n'est guère reluisante… » et à des milliers de kilomètres de là, soupire Afrique XXI, « depuis Bukavu, Goma, Masisi, Kalehe, loin des joutes diplomatiques, un seul cri nous parvient : ‘et nous, maintenant ? qu'allons-nous devenir ?' » À la Une également, la situation tragique au Darfour En un peu plus de deux ans de guerre au Soudan, le conflit a déplacé 11,3 millions de personnes, et les camps de déplacés sont surchargés. Particulièrement donc le Darfour du nord, qui « abrite 18% du nombre total de personnes déplacées » du pays, explique le Monde Afrique. Les besoins en nourriture, énormes, sont difficilement satisfaits : « l'acheminement de l'aide jusqu'au Darfour est un véritable défi logistique. Les chaînes d'approvisionnement évoluent avec le déplacement de la ligne de front », mais aussi au gré des autorisations de transit, et des blocages des routes. Et, ajoute le quotidien, « à l'urgence alimentaire s'ajoute le risque sanitaire », car la surpopulation des camps « favorise la propagation des maladies » avec le risque notamment d'une épidémie de choléra. Et pour encore compliquer la situation, il y a le « manque de protection apporté aux infrastructures de santé » et « la diminution de l'aide publique au développement ». D'ici la fin de l'été, conclut le Monde, « le programme alimentaire mondial prévoit la rupture de plusieurs canaux d'approvisionnement », aggravant encore ce qui ne peut plus qu'être appelé « une tragédie humanitaire ».

Tommy and Ben lament Trump's travesty of a spending bill and the death of USAID, and how both will cost lives and further tank America's global reputation. They unpack the fallout from Israel and the US's strikes on Iran, the bizarre delusions and marginalization of Tulsi Gabbard, and the ending of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians. They also discuss Trump's interference in Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial, the latest horrors in Gaza, shocking settler violence in the West Bank, and anti-Israel speech at the UK's Glastonbury Festival. Also covered: new fighting between Ukraine and an emboldened Russia, Trump's shaky ceasefire and resource-grab masquerading as a “peace deal” between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, and a triumphant pride parade in Budapest. Finally, they plan a trip to the world's next top spring break destination: Wonsan Kalma, North Korea.
