Massacres in Syria and the Congo: why aren't Western elites, including the Churches, drawing attention to religious persecution?After the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, many people voiced fears that the religious minorities in the country could face increased persecution. This could be at the hands of the new government's supporters, or simply because the new regime can't protect them. Now those fears appear to have been realised. There is rising sectarian violence against Christians, the Alawites and the Druze (pictured). There are also frequent barbaric attacks on Christians in parts of Africa: more than 40 Christians have just been murdered by Islamists in the Democratic Republic of the Congo while attending church.Fr Benedict Kiely joins Damian Thompson on this episode of Holy Smoke to discuss the background to this violence, the role of inter-faith score-settling, and why the global West – including leaders of the Catholic Church – seem more interested in migration than the slaughter of Christians and other people of faith.A Catholic priest of the Ordinariate, Fr Ben is a leading campaigner for religious believers around the world, and especially in the Middle East, and the founder of the charity nasarean.org.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

In this powerful episode of The Radio Vagabond, we explore one of Cape Town's most poignant landmarks: District Six. I begin by chatting with Uber drivers – immigrants from Rwanda, Congo and Malawi – who share what life is really like in the city today. Their stories highlight Cape Town's beauty and its socio-economic challenges, setting a compelling backdrop for what follows. Then we step into the District Six Museum, where history comes alive through photos, maps and personal testimonies. Once a lively, multi‑ethnic neighbourhood of tens of thousands, it was declared a whites‑only area in February 1966. Forced removals displaced over 60,000 residents over the next decade – families torn apart and community destroyed. Today, most of the land remains vacant – a stark reminder of apartheid's legacy. We hear from former inhabitants who recount heartbreaking stories of resistance, loss and survival. This episode is a journey through memory, resilience and the enduring spirit of community amid injustice.

« J'ai décidé d'être candidat » : l'annonce d'Alassane Ouattara de briguer un nouveau mandat barre la Une de Fraternité Matin à Abidjan. « Présidentielle 2025 : Alassane Ouattara officialise sa candidature pour “assurer paix et stabilité” », titre le journal en pages intérieures. « Au pouvoir depuis 2011, Alassane Ouattara (83 ans) entend donc concourir pour un quatrième mandat, pointe Le Monde Afrique. Un scénario que conteste l'opposition, alors que le chef d'État a promis dans son discours que “toutes les dispositions ont été prises pour que les élections soient apaisées, démocratiques et transparentes“. (…) » « Depuis cinq ans, note encore Le Monde Afrique, le président n'a laissé émerger aucune figure dans son propre camp pour lui succéder. “J'avais décidé de transférer le pouvoir à une jeune génération, a-t-il expliqué. Toutefois, les années passées à la tête de notre pays m'ont fait comprendre que le devoir peut parfois transcender la parole donnée de bonne foi“. La Constitution limite à deux le nombre de mandats présidentiels, mais, selon l'interprétation qu'en fait le pouvoir, l'adoption d'une nouvelle loi fondamentale en 2016 a remis les compteurs à zéro. » Quatorze ans au pouvoir « Cette déclaration de candidature suscite déjà une vive controverse, relève pour sa part Afrik.com. En effet, Alassane Ouattara en est à son troisième mandat consécutif, obtenu en 2020 après la révision constitutionnelle de 2016 sur laquelle il avait fondé la légalité de sa nouvelle candidature, déclenchant une crise politique majeure. À l'époque, son revirement – après avoir annoncé ne pas se représenter – à la suite du décès brutal de son dauphin Amadou Gon Coulibaly, avait été dénoncé comme un passage en force, illégitime au regard de l'esprit de la Constitution. Son élection avait alors été boycottée par l'opposition, qui avait mis en place un éphémère Conseil national de transition sous la houlette de feu Henri Konan Bédié. La répression avait été sévère, rappelle Afrik.com : plus de 80 morts et plusieurs centaines de blessés, des arrestations massives et une fracture politique profonde. Cette nouvelle candidature, qualifiée de “provocation“ par certains opposants, pourrait donc rouvrir une page douloureuse de l'histoire électorale récente du pays. » L'opposition amputée Et l'opposition, donc, ne décolère pas, constate Le Point Afrique. « L'opposition qui dénonce avec fermeté un “quatrième mandat“, volontiers qualifié d'illégal. “Le président ne veut pas quitter le pouvoir, comme tout bon dictateur qui se respecte“, fulmine l'opposant en exil Guillaume Soro, à la tête de Générations et peuples solidaires. » Guillaume Soro, sous le coup d'une condamnation judiciaire, ne peut pas se présenter. De même que l'ancien président Laurent Gbagbo pour les mêmes raisons. De même que Tidjiane Thiam pour cause, cette fois, de double nationalité. Malgré tout, constate Afrik.com, « plusieurs figures de l'opposition s'apprêtent à entrer dans l'arène, sous réserve d'obtenir les parrainages nécessaires : Simone Gbagbo, Pascal Affi N'Guessan, ou encore Jean-Louis Billon. En coulisses, des tractations s'intensifient pour tenter de construire un front commun de l'opposition, mais les divisions héritées des crises passées, les défis d'organisation et la pression exercée par les autorités rendent cet objectif incertain à trois mois du scrutin. » Fiction démocratique ? En tout cas, relève Ledjely en Guinée, « avant même d'annoncer sa candidature, Alassane Ouattara s'est assuré que ses véritables challengers soient écartés de la course. En somme, il se prépare à une élection qu'il est sûr de remporter, car quasiment seul en lice. » Et finalement, poursuit le site d'information guinéen, cette quatrième candidature du président sortant « alimente l'idée que la démocratie n'est ici qu'un simulacre, une illusion. Elle donne raison à ceux qui, au sujet de certains pays africains, parlent de “fictions démocratiques“. » Le Pays au Burkina Faso renchérit : c'est « la candidature de trop. » « Certes, la Constitution en vigueur le lui permet, mais au regard du poids de l'âge et de sa santé valétudinaire, certains pensaient qu'ADO allait renoncer au pouvoir et ce, après 15 ans de règne sans partage. Que nenni !, s'exclame Le Pays. Il a choisi de marcher dans les pas de certains de ses pairs du continent tels que Paul Biya du Cameroun, Denis Sassou N'Guesso du Congo, Teodore Obiang Nguema de la Guinée équatoriale, Paul Kagame du Rwanda, et Faure Gnassingbé du Togo, qui refusent d'imaginer une autre vie en dehors du pouvoir. »

The African nation relies heavily on its copper industry and exports – the football team is even nicknamed Chipolo-polo - The Copper Bullets. Now, US President Donald Trump has announced a new 50% tariff on copper imports from early August. We explore the impact this could have on major copper producers, like Zambia and neighbouring DR Congo. Price volatility could affect earnings, but some companies are saying the long-term outlook still looks strong because of global demand for copper in data centres and EVs.Presenter: Will Bain Producer: Hannah Bewley(Image: Workers prepare casting units at the Mufulira refinery, operated by Mopani Copper Mines Plc, in Mufulira, Zambia in May 2022.

More than 40 people including women and children were killed in an attack by Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), in the town of Komanda, east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Also, why Cameroonian opposition leader Maurice Kamto is challenging his disqualification from October's presidential election list. And what's the impact of Africa's disappearing Wetlands?

This follows a similar massacre of 70 Protestant Christians in February in the city of Mayba, Congo.  522,000 Sudanese babies died of malnutrition Famine is on the rise across the world today, according to the World Food Program.  A total of 600,000 Sudanese face catastrophic hunger, and 8 million face emergency levels of hunger. The problem is four times worse in Sudan than it was last year. Since the outbreak of the Sudanese civil war in 2023, over 522,000 babies have died of malnutrition, as well as thousands of older children. That's according to the Committee of Sudanese Doctors.  This represents a sharp increase of deaths by famine — a metric that has averaged around 100,000 per year since the 1970s. Other nations facing emergency levels of hunger include Myanmar, South Sudan, Mali, and Haiti.   127 people starved to death in Gaza The World Food Program revealed about half a million people face catastrophic hunger in Gaza. Specifically, the AP reports that 127 people have starved to death in Gaza this year. From Psalm 146:5-9, we read, “Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God, Who made Heaven and Earth, the sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever, Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners.” Cambodian/Thai ceasefire It all started when Cambodian tourists visiting Thailand began singing the Cambodian national anthem back in February. Then, on May 28th of this year, Cambodian and Thai soldiers took a few pot shots at each other across the border.   One Cambodian soldier died. Tensions increased over the next month. During early July, several Thai soldiers were severely injured when stepping on Cambodian-placed landmines at the border.  That's what it took to ignite all-out war between the two countries, beginning on July 24th. At least 33 citizens and soldiers were killed in the conflict. This conflict, which became deadly, illustrates the biblical principle from 1 Corinthians 3:3. It says, “For you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men?” Thankfully, as of yesterday, the two nations have reached an agreement to an "immediate and unconditional ceasefire,” reports The Khmer Times. Japan's conservative political party rising in stature An anti-immigrant, anti-foreigner party called Sanseito has gained ascendance in Japan for the first time since World War II — moving from 1 to 15 seats in the nation's governing body. Other conservative type parties gained another 15 seats in the 248 seat upper house, for a total of a 12% gain. Trump to Russia: 12 days to reach ceasefire President Donald Trump is upping the ante with Russia. He gave Russian President Valdimir Putin 12 days to reach a ceasefire with Ukraine, or he will impose 100% tariffs on countries which purchase Russian exports. That would include China, India, Turkey, Brazil, South Korea, and Taiwan. Democrats viewed extremely unfavorably The Democrats are now viewed extremely unfavorably here in America by the public.  A new Wall Street Journal poll revealed that 63% of voters look upon the party unfavorably. Only 33% view it favorably.  The American public appreciates the Republican views over the Democratic views on issues like immigration, inflation, and foreign policy. Americans are also most upset with the Trump administration over tariffs, healthcare, and the Ukraine war. 63% of Americans want abortion legal in most cases The latest Associated Press/National Opinion Research Center polling indicates that 63% of Americans want abortion legal in most cases, and 52% support abortion for any reason whatsoever. Hulk Hogan rededicated faith in Christ at baptism 18 months before death And finally, a pastor with Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Florida has publicly announced baptizing Hulk Hogan, whose given name was Terry Bollea, prior to the pro-wrestler's recent passing.  According to the New York Post, Hogan was baptized 18 months before his death on July 24, 2025. Hogan was asked about it on the Christian Broadcasting Network. REPORTER: “Public baptism. You have said: the greatest moment of your life.” HOGAN: “Yes, without a doubt.” REPORTER: “Terry, what did that mean for you?” HOGAN: “It broke down that fourth or fifth wall to tell people the truth about my Lord and Savior, and it set me free. I wasn't that perfect vessel that I should have been. Once I was baptized, I felt I was all new. It really was a major pivot in my life.” In December 2023, Hogan wrote that his baptism marked “Total surrender and dedication to Jesus.” Pastor Aaron Filippone included an extended eulogy for Hogan on an X post over the weekend. The pastor noted that Hogan had worshiped faithfully with his wife at the church over the past two years.. He said, “He didn't just talk about his faith—he lived it. He walked in grace, and he made sure everyone around him knew that grace was available for them too.” The pastor added: “Jesus offers hope, forgiveness, and eternal life to anyone who believes. We invite you to visit a local, Bible-believing church—just like Terry did.”   Hogan, referencing his actual first name of “Terry” in this portion of the CBN interview, talked about his desire to live a faithful life as a Christian. HOGAN:  “What Terry brings to the table is a meat suit, a meat suit, filled with the Spirit of Christ, and it's a testing ground for me. I accepted Christ as my Savior. I was 14, but I derailed. It wasn't my life. He has given me the opportunity to prove that I'm faithful and I'll never make those same mistakes again.” Indeed, Hogan had led a rocky life, marked by two unhappy divorces.   Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, July 29th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Une nouvelle attaque dans le nord-est de la République démocratique du Congo a eu lieu dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche : une église de Komanda, dans l'Ituri, a été prise d'assaut par des hommes armés membres des Forces démocratiques alliées (ADF), un groupe ougandais affilié à l'État islamique. Au moins 43 personnes ont été tuées, selon un rapport de la Mission des Nations Unies en RD Congo (MONUSCO). Les précisions d'Emett Livingstone, correspondant de France 24 à Kinshasa.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Islamic State-backed rebels have attacked a Catholic church in eastern Congo and the neighboring area, killing dozens of people.

 MONUSCO, ambao ni Ujumbe wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa Kulinda Amani nchini Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, DRC, imelaani vikali shambulio lililoanza usiku wa juzi tarehe 26 hadi jana 27 Julai 2025 huko Komanda eneo la Irumu, takribani kilomita 60 kusini-magharibi mwa Bunia mji mkuu wa jimbo la Ituri, mashariki mwa nchi. Anold Kayanda ameifuatilia taarifa hiyo na anatujuza zaidi.Taarifa iliyotolewa na MONUSCO jijini katika mji mkuu wa DRC, Kinshasa imeeleza kwamba kwa mujibu wa taarifa za uhakika, shambulio hilo lililofanywa na wapiganaji wa kundi la waasi wa Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) limesababisha vifo vya raia wasiopungua 43 (wanawake 19, wanaume 15 na watoto 9).Inaripotiwa kuwa waathirika wengi waliuawa kwa kutumia silaha za jadi wakiwa ndani ya nyumba ya ibada. Watu kadhaa walitekwa nyara. Nyumba na maduka pia yalichomwa moto, jambo ambalo limezidisha zaidi hali mbaya ya mazingira ya kibinadamu ambayo tayari ni ya kutisha katika jimbo hilo.Naibu Mwakilishi Maalum wa Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa kwa Masuala ya Ulinzi na Operesheni ambaye pia ndiye Kaimu Mkuu wa MONUSCO, Vivian van de Perre, amenukuliwa akisema, “mashambulizi haya ya kulenga raia wasio na hatia, hasa ndani ya nyumba za ibada, ni ya kushtusha na ni kinyume kabisa na viwango vyote vya haki za binadamu na sheria ya kimataifa ya kibinadamu. MONUSCO itaendelea kushirikiana kwa karibu na mamlaka za DRC ili kuwalinda raia kwa mujibu wa mamlaka yake.”Kwa kushirikiana na mamlaka za eneo, MONUSCO imetoa msaada kwa hatua za awali, ikiwemo kuratibu shughuli za maziko na kutoa huduma za matibabu kwa majeruhi. Wakati huohuo, MONUSCO imeongeza juhudi za kiusalama ndani na nje ya eneo la Komanda kwa kuongeza idadi ya doria katika eneo hilo.MONUSCO imeweka wazi kuwa inasalia na dhamira thabiti ya kushirikiana na mamlaka za DRC na jamii za wenyeji kusaidia kuzuia mashambulizi mengine, kuwalinda raia, kupunguza mvutano, na kuchangia katika kuimarisha utulivu katika maeneo yaliyoathiriwa na machafuko ya kivita.Ujumbe huo wa Umoja wa Mataifa umeeleza masikitiko na ghadhabu kubwa juu ya vitendo hivi vya kikatili, ambavyo ni ukiukaji mkubwa wa sheria ya kimataifa ya kibinadamu na haki za binadamu. Ujumbe huu unatoa rambirambi zake za dhati kwa familia na jamii zilizoathirika na unasisitiza mshikamano wake na wakazi wa maeneo hayo. MONUSCO pia inazitaka mamlaka za DRC kufanya uchunguzi wa kina kuhusu mauaji haya na kuwafikisha wahusika mbele ya sheria.Aidha, MONUSCO imeurudia wito wa Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa kwa makundi yote ya waasi kutoka nchi za nje kuweka silaha chini bila masharti na kurejea katika nchi zao za asili.

Hii leo jaridani Assumpta Massoi anamulika mauaji Ituri, DRC; Haki za binadamu hususan suala la Israeli kukalia Palestina kimabavu; Mifumo ya kuzalisha chakula; Mradi wa umwagiliaji kwa kutumia nishati ya sola huko Bidibidi, Uganda. MONUSCO, ambao ni Ujumbe wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa Kulinda Amani nchini Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, DRC, imelaani vikali shambulio lililoanza usiku wa juzi tarehe 26 hadi jana 27 Julai 2025 huko Komanda eneo la Irumu, takribani kilomita 60 kusini-magharibi mwa Bunia mji mkuu wa jimbo la Ituri, mashariki mwa nchi. Anold Kayanda ameifuatilia taarifa hiyo na anatujuza zaidi.Kamishna Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa haki za binadamu Volker Türk ameyahimiza mataifa yote ulimwenguni kuchukua hatua za haraka ili Israel ikomeshe uwepo wake kinyume cha sheria katika ardhi ya Palestina inayoikalia kimabavu, na kuhakikisha suluhu ya mataifa mawili inapatikana.

Suite de la série qui vous emmène à la découverte des sports traditionnels sur le continent africain. Pour ce septième épisode, RFI vous emmène en République démocratique du Congo, où le catch est un sport populaire agrémenté de pratiques mystiques vaudous. De notre correspondante à Kinshasa, En RDC, le catch, c'est toute une histoire. De la lutte classique, on est passé, dans les années 1980, au catch avec comme particularité le caractère spectaculaire, mystique et exhibitionniste des catcheurs. Une formule qui a fait recette et remplie des stades du pays pendant plusieurs années. Coiffée d'une crête, visage recouvert de talc ou encore canne en main imprégnée de « pouvoirs mystiques », chaque catcheur choisit son style pour se démarquer des autres ou pour marquer son territoire. Le spectacle, c'est la particularité du catch congolais. Ici, la technique n'assure pas forcément la victoire. Le fétiche et les gris-gris jouent aussi leur rôle. « On ne peut pas faire de catch sans fétiches. Le catch a ses réalités. On a compris qu'une fois catcheur, on doit avoir quelque chose », raconte Ilunga Puma, alias Le Zulu. « Je me bats souvent avec mes voisins pour mesurer leur force. Mon coup de grâce, à moi, c'est une gifle mélangée au gri-gri. Je sais comment l'utiliser pour gagner », ajoute Rambo. Comment le catch classique a-t-il basculé au catch traditionnel ? Bertelemy Okito, ancien secrétaire général aux sports, a assisté à la genèse de cette version de la discipline : « On a inventé cette histoire de fétiche pour donner de l'ambiance au catch. Cela s'appelait toujours catch à l'époque. Il n'y avait pas deux sections. Quand nous avons en 2011 promulgué la loi sportive, on a mis deux types de catch. Le catch classique et le catch congolais. » Edingwe dit Moto na Ngenge, considéré comme père du catch traditionnel avec fétiche, a de son vivant régné et terrorisé tous ses adversaires avant de tomber sur Le Zulu, catcheur évoluant à Mbujimayi. « J'ai toujours utilisé beaucoup de clé. Je l'avais coincé avec une clé et c'était terminé. On avait compté jusqu'à trois et il avait perdu le combat », raconte Ilunga Puma. Avec la mort d'Edingwe, le catch a perdu sa figure la plus connue en RDC. Aujourd'hui, faute de producteurs, les spectacles se font de plus en plus rares.

En Afrique, la déforestation s'accélère, constate la FAO, l'Organisation des Nations unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture. Cette déforestation touche non seulement les forêts tropicales, mais aussi de plus en plus les forêts urbaines. C'est le cas de Kinshasa, la capitale de la République démocratique du Congo, qui compte (environ) 17 millions d'habitants. On parle du constat et des conséquences de ce déboisement, avec l'urbaniste congolais Joël Kyana Basila, de l'Institut Supérieur de l'Urbanisme de Kinshasa. Il est l'invité d'Alexandra Brangeon.
