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.

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 ?

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.

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 ».

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message|Donald Trump's second term is rewriting presidential history with a breathtaking sprint of achievements that may signal the dismantling of FDR's nearly century-old New Deal coalition. In just 165 days, Trump has accumulated foreign policy triumphs, legal victories, and domestic policy wins at a pace unseen in modern presidential history.The centerpiece of this remarkable run is the "Big Beautiful Bill" signed into law on Independence Day - a comprehensive piece of legislation that doubles down on supply-side economics in ways not seen since Reagan's presidency. Far from the conventional wisdom that predicted economic doom from tariffs, the economy shows declining inflation, four-year low gas prices, stable unemployment, and record stock market highs.Trump's foreign policy achievements have been equally impressive. Operation Midnight Hammer struck Iran's nuclear facilities, restoring American deterrence and credibility on the world stage. NATO allies have committed to unprecedented 5% of GDP defense spending after years of American pressure. A US-brokered peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda demonstrates Trump's expanding diplomatic influence while securing critical mineral rights.The Supreme Court's ruling in Trump v. Cato Inc. represents a structural change in the balance of power between the judiciary and executive branch by restricting nationwide injunctions - judicial tools that had been weaponized against Trump's agenda. Meanwhile, immigration enforcement has achieved what many thought impossible: a 93% reduction in border encounters compared to the previous year, with zero releases into the United States for consecutive months.What we're witnessing may be more than just a successful presidential term - it could be the beginning of a new American golden age predicated on economic growth, renewed global leadership, and the rolling back of the administrative state. The next three years will determine whether Trump can maintain this momentum and cement his place as one of the most consequential presidents in American history, alongside Washington and Lincoln.Explore the full story of Trump's remarkable comeback in Newt Gingrich's "Trump's Triumph: America's Greatest Comeback" and follow our podcast for continuing analysis of this pivotal moment in American politics.Key Points from the Episode:• Trump's Big Beautiful Bill signed into law on July 4th represents a doubling down on supply-side economics• Operation Midnight Hammer successfully targeted Iran's nuclear facilities, restoring American deterrence• Supreme Court ruling in Trump v. CASA Inc. restricts nationwide injunctions that previously hampered executive action• NATO allies committed to raising defense spending to 5% of GDP following Trump's pressure• Border encounters down 93%, with zero illegal immigrants released into the US for consecutive months• Economic indicators defying predictions: declining inflation, four-year low gas prices, stable 4% unemployment• Trump's success potentially signals the end of FDR's New Deal coalition after nearly a century• Foreign policy victories include US-brokered peace agreement between Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda• Successful tariff negotiations with China and Canada demonstrating America's economic leverageOther resources: Want to leave a review?

En République démocratique du Congo, il faut remonter le temps jusqu'au 24 novembre 1965, date à laquelle Mobutu a pris le pouvoir. Mobutu, c'était la toque léopard, l'abacost – célèbre costume congolais – mais aussi la canne. Pour le maréchal, c'était à la fois un signe d'autorité et un objet pour valoriser la culture traditionnelle du pays. Dans les rues de Kinshasa, Mobutu reste l'homme à la toque de léopard et à la canne. Sculptée en bois ou en ivoire, la canne incarnait son autorité. André-Alain Atundu Liongo, dernier chef des renseignements sous Mobutu, se souvient : « Je crois qu'en revenant de cette tournée, où je lui étais présenté pour la première fois, dans l'avion, il était détendu. Il a enlevé son costume. Mais dès qu'on a atterri, il a mis son costume, sa toque et sa canne. C'était un autre homme. Il ne blaguait plus. Il revêtait et incarnait l'autorité. La canne c'est l'autorité et la sagesse ». Pour ce proche collaborateur de Mobutu, la canne était plus qu'un objet d'apparat. « Lorsqu'il était debout, qu'il nous attendait avec impatience, il toquait sa canne. Lorsque la canne était sur la table, il était mécontent. Ça servait aussi à indiquer ses états d'âme ». À lire aussiRDC: Mobutu, grandeur et décadence du «roi du Zaïre» Au Congo, la canne incarne le pouvoir coutumier et mystique. Elle est taillée d'un seul bloc de bois. « Les traditions dans la chefferie... Il y a un arbre précis que l'on détermine. Ça n'est pas n'importe quel arbre. Il détient une force naturellement, explique Jean-Paul Kwungusugu, chef coutumier dans la province du Haut-Lomami. Les gens, quand ils voient le président de la République, on lui remet tout ça par les chefs coutumiers. Attention, le président de la République n'est pas simplement présent par la constitution, les ancêtres sont avec lui. D'ailleurs, c'est ce qui a favorisé les dictatures ». La canne a fait de Mobutu le roi du Zaïre pendant plus de 30 ans, mais elle a aussi servi à faire valoir une culture congolaise au lendemain des indépendances. « Au retour, il se comportait non seulement comme un chef d'État moderne, mais comme un chef traditionnel, indique Placide Mumbembele, professeur de politique mémorielle. Cela s'est davantage consolidé avec sa politique de recours à l'authenticité, afin de pouvoir, comme il le disait lui-même : être soi-même, c'est-à-dire être Zaïre Roi, avec toutes ses traditions ». Mobutu possédait une trentaine de cannes, selon ses proches. Elles sont toutes conservées au Maroc, chez celle que les Congolais appellent maman Bobi, la veuve du maréchal.

My guest today is Dan Buettner, a National Geographic Explorer, New York Times bestselling author, Emmy-winning Netflix host, and a record-breaking endurance cyclist. In fact, he holds three Guinness World Records for distance cycling, having pedalled across the globe to over 70 countries. Travel is not just a passion of his - it's the lens through which he's viewed, explored, and helped reimagine how we live our lives.It was during these epic adventures that Dan's curiosity about longevity began to take shape. And that curiosity eventually led to one of the most fascinating and impactful projects of our time: The Blue Zones. Working alongside National Geographic and a team of medical researchers and demographers, Dan set out to discover the secrets of the world's longest-lived people. What he found were five extraordinary regions, in Japan, Costa Rica, Italy, Greece and a religious community in California - now famously known as the Blue Zones - where people weren't just living longer, they were thriving into their 90s and 100s. What's so remarkable is that these individuals weren't pursuing health - they were simply living in environments that naturally supported well-being. Think: plant-based diets, daily movement, strong social ties, and a deep sense of purpose. His findings became international bestsellers and his Netflix documentary Live to 100 introduced Blue Zones to a worldwide audience. and He's back this summer with a new cookbook, Blue Zones Kitchen: One Pot Meals, to help us all cook like the world's healthiest people.His travel diaries today take us from the jungles of the Congo, and the plains of the Sahara, to the lakes of Guatemala, and the islands of Japan. There was so much to cover, and I was so fascinated by all of Dan's insights, that we actually lost track of time, and so we're going to have to do a part 2 one day to find out his worst travel experience and hear a little bit more about his Mexican hidden gem. But nevertheless, I can't wait to dive into his story with you, let's buckle up and get started.

Today, we're bringing you a bonus episode on the DR Congo-Rwanda peace deal and U.S. engagement in Africa from Crisis Group's Global Podcast Hold Your Fire!.In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard is joined by Murithi Mutiga, Crisis Group's Africa program director, to discuss the DR Congo-Rwanda deal, U.S. peacemaking in Africa and elsewhere, and how revisionist leadership could impact the continent. They unpack the U.S. and Qatar-brokered peace deal, its minerals component and the pitfalls in the Trump administration's mediation style, also looking at diplomacy in other hotspots. They also discuss Sudan's civil war and whether Trump's illiberal dealmaking might offer a way out. They examine simmering tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea and what renewed war between them would mean for an already tumultuous region. Finally, they look at how revisionist leaders in Africa may be emboldened by a broader global trend of achieving goals through force, how Africans view Trump's second term policy so far and how it compares to Chinese engagement in Africa.

In this episode of Chronicles, Luca discusses Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. He explores themes of colonialism, civilisation, and human nature as the characters endure the darkness of the Congo.
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.
