The Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the countries where these materials are mined. Often the mining of these commodities isn't regulated, or regulation around this mining isn't enforced.  IHRB's Deborah Sagoe speaks to Francesca Fairbairn about her conversation with Dr Isokelo Munyuku Fama, a Doctor and human rights defender in the area of South Kivu Province in DRC, where a lot of mining takes place. They discuss the lack of adherence to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights by companies working in the area and how South Kivu would welcome with open arms companies that adhere to these principles.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. Just like adults, children need the hope of the Gospel. When they come to faith in Jesus, it changes everything for them. Jesus told His disciples in Luke 18, "Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, many churches attended a training to learn how to disciple the children of their churches with the Gospel. As practice for the training, they went house to house sharing the Gospel. Children all along the way decided to follow them up to the church where the workshop was being held. In two afternoons, they shared the Gospel to 418 children and adults; and among them, 355 made professions of Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Many of the parents of the children asked the Sunday school teachers to come back and share with the families as well! To learn how to share your faith, visit www.sharelife.today.

Watch the Screenplay Reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTQp7y86L-U In 1960, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has recently been evacuated by Belgian forces in the face of violent uprisings, leaving new Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba's, 35, shaky government to ward off both America and Russia, who contend for the rich natural resources of uranium, diamonds, copper, and cobalt. The capital city of Kinshasa is war-torn and violent, prone to constant uprisings and full of security checkpoints. Fires and gunfights rage day and night. Michael McClung on why the script should be made into a film: We are still dealing with both the political ramifications, and the resource predation, in sub-Saharan Africa today. The events shown in KISS OF DARKNESS have affected hundreds of millions over the decades, and there has been virtually no attention paid (or restitution demanded) for the CIA'S role in this tragedy.

The government in the Democratic Republic of Congo has said that at least 43 people were killed when soldiers broke up a demonstration against UN peacekeepers in the eastern city of Goma on Wednesday. We ask what's behind the chronic instability in the DRC? Around 80 percent of all farms in Africa are tilled by smallholder farmers. They produce most of the food we eat on the continent - and yet they get very little recognition for what they do. We hear from Wangari Kuria, the founder of Farmer on Fire. She is challenging the leaders currently meeting in Nairobi at the first Africa Climate Summit. And we do a deep dive on the Bongos; the family that has held power in Gabon since 1967.

*) Anti-UN protests in DR Congo leave 100 dead The death toll from anti-UN protests last week in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo has risen to 100, the head of a platform of youth organisations has said. Lucas Pecos, director of the Collective of Youth Solidarity Organizations in Congo-Kinshasa, which accused the army of committing a massacre last Wednesday, at a church in the city of Goma, in North Kivu province, said it has counted 100 bodies so far. *) Pope praises Mongolia religious freedom dating back to Genghis Khan Pope Francis has praised Mongolia's tradition of religious freedom dating back to the times of its founder, Genghis Khan, as he opened the first-ever papal visit to the Asian nation with a word of encouragement to its tiny Catholic flock. The Pope met with Mongolian President in a traditional ger, set up inside the state palace. Francis was in Mongolia to meet one of the world's newest and smallest Catholic communities — around 1,450 Mongolians are Catholic — and make a diplomatic foray into a region where the Holy See has long had troubled relations, with Russia to the north and China to the south. *) Mission accomplished, India puts moon rover to 'sleep' India switched off its moon rover, the first craft to reach the lunar south pole, after it completed its two-week assignment conducting experiments, the country's space agency said. The Pragyan rover from the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft was "set into Sleep mode" but with batteries charged and receiver on, the Indian Space Research Organisation said. By landing on the moon, India joined the United States, China and the former Soviet Union. It went beyond them in reaching the rugged south pole. *) 'This time it is serious': Typhoon Haikui makes landfall in eastern Taiwan Typhoon Haikui made landfall on eastern Taiwan, unleashing torrential downpours, whipping winds and plunging thousands of households into darkness as the first major storm to directly hit the island in four years. Nearly 4,000 people were evacuated from high-risk areas, hundreds of flights cancelled and businesses closed in preparation for the storm. Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau said the typhoon had made landfall in coastal Taitung, a mountainous county in lesser-populated eastern Taiwan. *) Turkish 'Sultans of the Net' reign supreme in European volleyball Türkiye defeated Serbia in a thrilling five-set match to win the 2023 CEV Women's European Volleyball Championship title. The Turkish women's volleyball team won the final on Sunday night with set scores of 27-25, 21-25, 25-22, 22-25, and 15-13 at Brussels. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan congratulated Türkiye on winning the trophy.

Luke Pickrell of Marxist Unity Group emphasizes the centrality of radical democracy to the communist project and reintroduces the construction of the democratic republic as the foundational political goal for socialists today. He emphatically asserts that if socialists are to defeat the tricephalic hydra of capitalist domination, we must aim for the heart – “the source and parent of all the other atrocities” – the US Constitution.  Read by: Aliyah Intro Music: ворожное озеро Гроза vwqp remix Outro Music: We are Friends Forever performed by Felix Dzerzhinsky Guards Regiment.

Listen to the Fri. Aug. 18, 2023 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features our regular PANW report with dispatches on the continuing threats by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to militarily intervene in Niger at the aegis of the United States, France and other NATO states; the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has endorsed Kenya's lifting of fuel subsidies which have triggered inflation inside the East African country; the Southern African Development Community (SADC) may send troops to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as part of a peacekeeping force; and United Nations troops are set to withdraw from the West African state of Mali.

Finally, we continue our month-long commemoration of Black August with a focus on the wars of the 19th century in Florida where Africans and Indigenous people fought for decades against the United States.

Georgia's indictment of former President Donald Trump, along with 18 of his advisors and associates, is the latest outrageous Democratic Communist Party's assault against the American people and our constitutional republic.The Democratic Party, which is the American franchise of the Chinese Communist Party, pulled off a soft coup in 2020 with numerous influential persons and entities involved as co-conspirators. If they succeed in locking up President Trump in federal prison for the rest of his life, all hopes of future fair elections will end for the next century.No serious Republican candidate will be permitted to challenge the American Communist Party, the Democrats. The lame, wimpy Republican Party will nominate people such as Mitt Romney or Asa Hutchinson. They will lose every time. They will only appear on the ballot to make the public think they have a choice. But if somebody as mentally strong as Donald Trump arises to openly defy them, the American Communist Party will send him to prison. And his advisors too.That's what we are facing in America today; the imminent demise of the constitutional republic and the full implementation of tyrannical communism under the guise of the Democratic Party. You can be sure Xi Jinping is now running the Democratic Party and will begin the process of colonizing America over the next ten years.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

Mvemba is joined by Eric Kuikende-Banshona, a Provenance Researcher at the National Museum of the Democratic Republic of Congo. They highlight the importance of restituting African artifacts to move past European colonial history in Africa. They also urge African political leaders to focus on Africa's cultural richness and collaborate with Western leaders to restore the history and cultures of the African people. They highlight the obligation of Western museums and private art collectors not to hide African artifacts but instead work with African provenance experts to write the authentic narratives of the artwork to preserve the meanings and knowledge they carry. 

I just returned from a fascinating journey to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Even though the Congo has faced political repression and instability since it achieved independence in 1960, I witnessed resiliency, curiosity, passion, deep faith and hope. The DRC is the fourth-largest African country by population and the most populous francophone country in the world, and is home to an abundance of vital natural resources. Despite its massive human capital and resource endowment, peace has eluded the Congo, and human security challenges have proliferated. Please join me as I share my insights into a life changing trip to the DRC.  Jane's Support for Africa New Day Find books by Jane Asher and other MindBodySpirit.fm podcast hosts in the online store Learn more about your ad choices.

Most Americans just learned, from reporting this week in The New York Times, that Trump, billionaire-funded rightwing think tanks, and some of the leaders of the GOP have a plan to flip America from a democratic republic into an authoritarian strongman-type of government should he or another like-minded MAGA Republican win the White House in 2024.Plus report from Ukraine with Veteran War Correspondent, Phil Ittner on the recent grain crisis and naval standoff.

Doing good for others is good for us! With our new Happy Activist series, we're spotlighting ordinary people who are changing the world around them just by doing good. Every few weeks we'll introduce you to a new Happy Activist, and for this episode, host Paula Felps talks with Dawn McMullan, who found her calling when she met a woman who had fled the Democratic Republic of Congo. As Dawn learned more about the plight of girls and young women in the Congo, she was compelled to act. Today, she has helped change the future for hundreds of women while at the same time finding a greater sense of purpose. In this episode, you'll learn: Why giving back has become so important to her. How doing good for others and made her life better. How to find the “thing” that lights you up. 

We believe in the power of the entrepreneurial spirit to transform lives. Community-based and locally-led, our poverty graduation program equips Africans living in extreme poverty with cash transfers, training, and mentoring to create income-generating, sustainable businesses and savings groups, permanently breaking the cycle of poverty for themselves and their families. Digital technology and a group-based approach make this more scalable and cost-effective than traditional approaches. Over 80% of our entrepreneurs are female, ensuring greater gender equity and increased opportunities for women and families. And rigorous evidence shows that our model works. For over 30 years, we have worked in rural African communities where most people live on $2.15 a day or less. We currently operate in Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Congo-Brazzaville, and Mozambique. Through partnerships with governments and other nonprofits, we plan to continue to expand throughout sub-Saharan Africa with the goal of lifting 20 million people out of extreme poverty by 2030.

The China-Global South Project is proud to announce the first-ever mapping of the Chinese cobalt supply chain in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. CGSP launched a new interactive map this week that includes a full breakdown of mining data by Chinese and other firms, an overview of the main logistics routes, and five years of export data that details precisely where the cobalt goes when it leaves Africa. CGSP Francophone Editor Geraud Neema led this pioneering research initiative that took nine months to compile. Geraud joins Eric & Cobus to share the key findings from the data that reveal China's vast and complicated role in the race to control what is now one of the world's most important resources.SHOW NOTES:User Guide: Interactive Map of Copper & Cobalt Production in the DR Congo: www.chinaglobalsouth.com/cobaltView the Data: www.chinaglobalsouth.com/cobaltmapJOIN THE DISCUSSION:Twitter: @ChinaGSProject| @stadenesque | @eric_olander |@christiangeraudFacebook: www.facebook.com/ChinaAfricaProjectYouTube: www.youtube.com/@ChinaGlobalSouthFOLLOW CAP IN FRENCH AND ARABIC:Français: www.projetafriquechine.com | @AfrikChineعربي: www.akhbaralsin-africia.com | @AkhbarAlSinAfrJOIN US ON PATREON!Become a CAP Patreon member and get all sorts of cool stuff, including our Week in Review report, an invitation to join monthly Zoom calls with Eric & Cobus, and even an awesome new CAP Podcast mug!www.patreon.com/chinaafricaprojectSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Fredrik Nordberg Almroth, co-founder of Detectify, talks about how he did just that -- hack .mil, hack the top level domain of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and even Gmail or Wordpress -- just by looking for basic misconfigurations.

Ivanhoe is focused on developing and expanding its four principal mining and exploration projects in Southern Africa. The development of the Kamoa-Kakula copper mining complex in the Democratic Republic of Congo(DRC), the Platreef palladium-rhodium-platinum-nickel-copper-gold discovery in South Africa, the extensive redevelopment and upgrading of the historic Kipushi zinc-copper-germanium-silver mine, also in the Democratic Republic of Congo and exploration on the Western Foreland, near Kamoa-Kakula. Marna Cloete is a registered Chartered Accountant and holds a Master's Degree in Taxation from the University of Pretoria.  She joined Ivanhoe back in 2006 and has played an instrumental role as part in Ivanhoe's leadership team, achieving a number of strategic milestones and continues to go from strength to strength. Marna shares her journey from starting with the company with only 10 employees to now over 18,000 and why Ivanhoe is leading the way in the supply of much needed critical resources. She shares her wisdom and advice for females within the mining industry and what's its like working  and learning from Robert Friedland. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ivanhoe employs over 18,000 people across the organisation, and have all contributed to the slow formation of this mighty mining concern. One of the most important elements of Ivanhoe is the culture, that was established at the very outset some 26 years ago, when the team was made up of just ten people. Growing slowly has allowed their personal values and culture to grow with the company. Ivanhoe has piloted an electric fleet, where issues with efficiency were noted. Work has been done to remedy these challenges, and soon they hope to transition entirely to an electric fleet. Senior executives cannot hope to operate from afar. They need to engage with their workforce and operate on the ground alongside them. BEST MOMENTS 'Sometimes I have to pinch myself when I think that I've been with Ivanhoe for 17 years' 'We were focussed on ensuring that we were supplying the next great copper supply' 'We've always tried to keep our structures flat and not too bureaucratic' 'It's important for partnerships to create value' VALUABLE RESOURCES   Dig Deep – The Mining Podcast on iTunes https://twitter.com/IvanhoeMines_ https://www.linkedin.com/company/ivanhoe-mines-ltd/ https://www.facebook.com/ivanhoemines1 VALUABLE RESOURCES mailto:rob@mining-international.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-tyson-3a26a68/ http://www.mining-international.org https://twitter.com/MiningConsult https://www.facebook.com/MiningInternational.org https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC69dGPS29lmakv-D7LWJg_Q?guided_help_flow=3 ABOUT THE HOST Rob Tyson is the Founder and Director of Mining International Ltd, a leading global recruitment and headhunting consultancy based in the UK specialising in all areas of mining across the globe from first-world to third-world countries from Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

Islamist jihadists are moving southward across the continent of Africa. Their goal: the eradication Christianity. In the Central African Republic (CAR) and Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), a new addition to VOM's 2023 Global Prayer map, persecuted Christians have been deeply affected. Believers have been forced to flee their villages. Pastors have been killed. Many Christians have lost family members in violent attacks. Aaron Miller, Vice President of International Ministry for The Voice of the Martyrs, recently visited traumatized believers in multiple African nations. Aaron was stunned as he witnessed Christians worshipping and praising God after returning to the same village where they'd faced intense persecution for their faith. Psalm 138 resonated in Aaron's heart throughout his trip: “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you revive me. You saved me from my enemies.” God sent Aaron and the team from VOM into the midst of trouble to minister and encourage our persecuted brothers and sisters on behalf of the global body of Christ. Listen as Aaron tells of meeting one woman who couldn't continue telling the story of losing her husband; she simply buried her face in her hands and wept. Being able to listen, minister, pray, laugh, and cry with believers in the midst of their trouble is a powerful encouragement to them. Aaron talks about “the ministry of presence” as VOM workers go to fellowship and serve. God has uniquely prepared Aaron for this role, including giving him a small personal taste of Christian persecution in India. Pray for our brothers and sisters to be encouraged in their faith and for the church to be unified in Central Africa.

In 1976 in a small Belgian missionary hospital in a village in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, then known as Zaire, people were dying from an unknown disease which caused a high temperature and vomiting. It was the first documented outbreak of Ebola the virus. About 300 people died. Dr Jean Jacques Mueyembe and Dr David Heymann worked to bring the outbreak under control. Claire Bowes spoke to them in this programme first broadcast in 2009. (Photo: Residents who were being examined during the Ebola outbreak in Zaire in 1976.

On Saturday morning, Ugandans woke to unsettling news of a militant attack on a boarding school in the west of the country. Authorities say 37 students were killed. Five others, including a security guard who tried to stop the violence, also died. The militant Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) are thought to be responsible for the killing. The group originated in Uganda in the 1990s, but now conduct operations from across the border in the Democratic Republic of Congo. So, who exactly are these militants? And what is being done to stop them? #AfricaDaily

At this week's Round Table, Jack, Kenisha, and Madeline spoke with Mondiant Dogon, human rights activist, refugee ambassador, and author of Those We Throw Away Are Diamonds. Mondiant is the founder of the international nonprofit organization, Mondiant Initiative, with a mission to transform the lives of refugees in Africa through opportunities.. His plan is to expand this initiative all over the world.  Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mondiant discusses how his life experiences and the work he has done has impacted his life and empowered other refugees to aim for great things.  In his moving memoir, he describes his wide ranging experiences from surviving two genocides, being a child soldier, becoming a refugee in Rwanda and surviving on one meal over three days, and later moving to the United States to attend college at New York University with seemingly unlimited resources. Throughout this journey, he has learned the value of giving a voice to people who might not normally have one as well as valuing each refugee as an individual. Living amongst people with different backgrounds and experiences, he's gotten the opportunity to learn that “once everybody realizes that we're all human beings, the world will change.” Refugees should be seen as HUMANS and not a political problem or crisis. Mondiant has planted seeds of hope in the refugees he works with, inspiring them to make their own decisions and take control of their lives. We closed with discussion of how we can empower refugees to shape their own futures despite the adverse set of circumstances they face. But first, they need to be seen and given a voice in order to have a chance at success. Mondiant deeply understands the power of simply listening and talking to refugees, as well as displaying empathy and love. Acknowledging and supporting refugees in any way you can is the very first and most vital step towards empowering them.  The Mondiant Initiative is currently looking for volunteers for the organization to help refugees. If you are interested in helping to transform the lives of others, check out different ways to get involved today by heading to the website https://mondiantinitiative.org/get-involved/ Thank you for listening! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nextgenpolitics/message

An incredible and eye-opening book that will change the way you look the world. Cobalt fuels the current cellphone/tablet/laptop/electric car industries (as it's a necesity in all lithium-ion rechargeable batteries), and it's effect on the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been debilitating. This book was hard to read at times because of the reality it shows, and that makes it even more important to read. You will think and feel differently after reading this book. ...

It's hot. A mother works outside, a baby strapped to her back. The two of them breathe in toxic dust, day after day. And they're just two of thousands, cramped so close together it's hard to move, all facing down the mountain of cobalt stone. Cobalt mining is one of the world's most dangerous jobs. And it's also one of the most essential: cobalt is what powers the batteries in your smartphone, your laptop, the electric car you felt good about buying. More than three-quarters of the world's cobalt supply lies in the Democratic Republic of Congo, whose abundant resources have drawn greed and grifters for centuries. Today on the show: the fight for control of those resources, and for the dignity of the people who produce them.

The Congo Basin contains the world's second-largest rainforest at a staggering 178 million hectares (just under 440 million acres). It is also one of the biggest carbon sinks on the planet, containing 29 billion metric tons of carbon in its vast peatlands under the rich forest. One of the basin's key countries, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), aims to open up protected areas and forested peatlands to oil and gas development, with many experts warning of dire consequences to the rainforest and the world's climate, should these peatlands be disturbed. Sound familiar? On the heels of our Guyana season, we wanted to bring you this deep dive from the great folks over at MongaBay on what's happening in the Congo right now.
