Poverty and Economic Stagnation in Developing Nations. Guest: Veronique de Rugy. Veronique de Rugy examines why countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo remain in extreme poverty. She identifies institutional failures, such as a lack of property rights and predatory governments, as the primary causes of stagnation. Growth, she argues, is the only sufficient element to lift people out of poverty. 2

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson reports on the fearmongering story hitting headlines across the board right now regarding "Ebola" as the World Health Organization claims the case numbers have gone above 600, with 120 dead. This latest Ebola scare comes from The Democratic Republic Of Congo and Uganda with calls for traveling restrictions between the United States and Europe. One may ask, "who is calling for the travel restrictions?" The Trump Administration. Marco Rubio who is supported by many fake "MAHA" believers is demanding Europe close travel or the US may take forceful action. This comes after Rubio spoke with the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Weirdly, there have been multiple agencies and hospitals running pandemic exercises similar to Event 201 on Ebola. In fact a global vaccine coalition just pushed $60 million dollars forward for Ebola vaccines. Bill Gates as per usual is also involved. Back in January of this year, his foundation put forward $26.7 million for Ebola vaccines with CEPI. The so-called "outbreak" just happens to break out 5 months later... We saw this fear mongering in 2014. We saw it in 1995. We saw it in 1989. In many cases, this led to alleged "outbreaks" in places like Dallas, Texas. As news reporters walk around with zero protection interviewing people in hazmat suits in the middle of pulling Ebola bodies out of makeshift hospitals, PCR tests are also being used again. In 2014, asymptomatic people were arrested after testing "positive" for Ebola with PCR tests which led to a big controversy. How fast we forget about these things... In this video, we delve into the scam that is the new "Ebola outbreak." Stay tuned for more from WAM! GET 10% OFF ON SHILAJIT FROM DR.

Emmet Livingstone, journalist based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, reports on the latest impact of the Ebola virus which has claimed the lives of 60 people in the central African country.

A fast-growing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has crossed borders, raising alarms far beyond Central Africa. This time, the virus is a strain with no approved vaccine or treatment. As cases rise and governments scramble to respond, can the outbreak be contained before it spreads further?

With the Fifa World Cup just around the corner, we have something special on how football brings people together, how uniting people is part of the beautiful game, and the excitement around DR Congo's first qualification since 1974.Beacon of Hope is a Christian ministry in Bunia in Eastern DRC, for widows and children affected by the ethnic violence in the region in recent years. Dr Bagamba Araali started Beacon of Hope in 2009 – he's a lecturer and a lay minister. After leaving the country to go to Kenya and the UK, he returned to Bunia, and he told us more about his work. Steve Vickers was talking to Dr Bagamba Araali in Bunia in the Eastern DR Congo.With the success of Beacon of Hope, plans are to expand their work, to hold more Bible camps, also to teach more church leaders on how to bring young people together in areas affected by the conflict. We have pictures and contact details on our Facebook page.

David Jones, Concern Worldwide Country Director in the Democratic Rebublic of Congo, on the outbreak of Ebola in the country.

The number of suspected Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo has breached the 600 mark. But the World Health Organisation fears the disease was spreading in the community for up to two months before being detected. The WHO's Head of Emergency Preparedness for Africa is Dr Dick Chamla. He explains to Mihingarangi Forbes that the outbreak is evolving extremely fast in an area of the DRC where parts of ground zero - Ituri province - are run by militia.

An Ebola outbreak that started in the north-east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is spreading in the region and has been declared a health emergency. Health Check's Claudia Hammond has the latest with BBC reporter Emery Makumeno in Kinshasa, Heather Kerr, Country Director for the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in the DRC, and Professor Trudie Lang, head of the Global Health Network at Oxford University. Claudia is joined in the studio by BBC health reporter Laura Foster. They discuss the call for more testing of drugs with under-represented groups, after a study of Black African Americans, smokers, and people with complex health conditions in the US showed that an asthma drug, Tezepelumab, led to 70% fewer asthma attacks in people with severe asthma.They also hear about new hearing technology which can read peoples' brainwaves to help people to pick out the single voice they want to listen to in a noisy room. Claudia speaks to Nima Mesgarani, Associate Professor at the Zuckerman Institute at Columbia University in New York.And Claudia and Laura discuss why some cancer patients would fancy a pre-consultation with an AI avatar before a consultation with their real-life doctor?

Missionary Letter - Democratic Republic of Congo

The Tasmanian Government will introduce stronger firearm laws in the wake of the Bondi terror attack, but it will not impose caps on the number of guns people can own. It has also announced what it calls a "nation-leading" buyback scheme.

It is a war for control over some of the world's richest mineral reserves and the violence is heightened by long-standing ethnic and political tensions. In the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, government forces and local militia groups are fighting M23 rebels backed by neighboring Rwanda.This is one of the wars President Trump repeatedly claims to have ended. But though a U.S.-brokered peace deal was signed, the fighting hasn't stopped. We go behind the government front lines for a glimpse of the conflict.To manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Bonobos may be our closest living relatives, but we still have so much to learn about and from them. In this episode of Talking Apes, we sit down with Ariel Rogers, Executive Director of Friends of Bonobos, and evolutionary anthropologist Dr. Brian Hare to explore the remarkable social world of bonobos and why their survival matters now more than ever.From decades of research at Lola ya Bonobo Sanctuary in the Democratic Republic of Congo to the day-to-day realities of running a frontline conservation organization, this conversation weaves together science, storytelling, and on-the-ground action. Ariel and Brian share insights into bonobo anatomy, behavior, cooperation, and what these peaceful primates can teach us about humanity's own evolutionary story.We also dive into the challenges facing bonobos today, and the hope found in community-led conservation, ethical research, and long-term commitment. Thoughtful, curious, and full of perspective, this episode is a celebration of connection, compassion, and the power of understanding our closest relatives.Watch on YouTube: [youtube link]Listen on our website: https://globio.org/Ariel-BrianLearn more about Friends of Bonobos: https://www.bonobos.orgSend a textSupport the showTalking Apes is an initiative of the nonprofit GLOBIO.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! I met this week's guest Patricia Lokwa Servant last November in Accra at a Forge: Harnessing Creative Arts for Reparatory Justice. The convening turned out to be a mini Glocal Citizens summit for us Accra-based peeps lead by Makmid Kamara (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/makmid-kamara) in his new role leading Reform Initiatives (https://reforminitiatives.org), with Esther Armah (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/esther-armah) and Nyamal Tutdeal (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/nyamal-tutdeal) participating as facilitators and storytellers Emmanual Etim (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/emmanuel-etim) and Brigitte Perenyi (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/guests/brigitte-perenyi) also took part. The program was designed to strengthen the reparations movement by fostering solidarity among artists, cultural workers, civil society, and government leaders across the African diaspora and I can say that as a group we gained much and continue to make progress amongst ourselves. This is indeed indicative of this conversation with Patricia, a program strategist, storyteller, and cultural organizer born in the Democratic Republic of Congo. She is the Founder of http://CongoLove.org (http://congolove.org/), Co-Founder of the Andrée Blouin Cultural Center (https://andreeblouin.org) in Kinshasa, and a Development Consultant with Friends of the Congo (https://friendsofthecongo.org). Her work centers African knowledge, community resilience, and youth leadership across the continent and the global diaspora. For more than a decade, she has designed and led multi-country initiatives strengthening institutions, expanding equity, and building pathways for collective empowerment. She has supported regional movements with Africans Rising (https://www.africansrising.org), helped shape global narrative and education ecosystems with Farafina: The Black Link (https://www.farafinatheblacklink.org), and advanced gender-responsive learning programs with the African Women Development Fund (https://awdf.org). Patricia currently serves as Fundraising and Partnerships Lead for SOS-Hermann Gmeiner International College (https://www.soshgic.edu.gh) in Ghana, where she strengthens donor systems and cultivates cross-border collaborations with aims of supporting young African students. She is also the former host of the radio show Congo Live (http://www.congolive.org/show/), where she amplified stories of Congolese culture, history, and global engagement. Patricia's work bridges generations and geographies. She remains committed to building systems that honor African memory, uplift community wisdom, and support young people to lead with purpose and dignity. With Pan-Africanism at the heart of her life's work, Patricia is making her mark as an architect of our collective #panafricanprogress mission! Where to find Patricia?

Greetings Glocal Citizens! In case you missed us last week there's good reason. My glocal speak for the week was #UNGA80. The streets and sounds of NYC all pointed to the United Nations General Assembly and myriad sideline events. My week was about all thing #PanAfricanProgress and I look forward to sharing stories from the ground in the coming months. One thing is for sure, the giant that is Africa is awake with millions of youth and experienced diasporans ready to keep all of our eyes wide open. Much of that story is alive and well in my guest this week. Myra Dunoyer Vahighene is a storyteller, creative entrepreneur, and founder of Eleza Masolo, a cultural platform born on YouTube in 2020 and officially launched in 2022 to amplify African voices through storytelling, fashion, and visual arts. She authored Nyuma, the Thirsty Fish (https://a.co/d/2dY2FxR), a children's book tackling water justice in Africa, and regularly speaks across the continent — from Abidjan to Nairobi — about youth empowerment, branding, and narrative sovereignty. A Harvard-trained cultural leader, Myra blends Afro fashion, social storytelling, and entrepreneurship to inspire the new generation of African creators across borders. We meet in Nairobi at the New Cities Summit in June of this year where our common passion for elevating storytelling targeting African children forged our connection. Her most recent literary work Ceux qu'on ne sauvera pas (The Ones We Couldn't Save) (https://a.co/d/iLT8FXs), published on August 10, 2025 is a powerful book blending real-life testimonies, allegory, and prophetic narrative to recount thirty years of war and suffering in her homeland, the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Through this work is a moving tribute and a lasting call to remember the forgotten victims of ongoing conflict. Where to find Myra?

Andy jets off in his safari mobile, heading to the Democratic Republic of Congo to record the sound of a mountain gorilla beating its chest for Jen's audio database back at Safari World. Along the way, he meets a group of playful chimpanzees, follows some tree felling forest elephants and comes across a hungry pangolin searching for its dinner.

The world filled with portable devices and electric cars that we've come to rely upon is mostly powered with lithium-ion batteries. Most of the lithium-ion batteries we use require cobalt. Most of the cobalt that's being used in these batteries is extracted from the ground in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and much of it is sent to China to be processed for the global market. The Blood Diamond initiative in the 1990s sought to raise awareness about, and eventually create systems to mitigate the use here in the U.S. of, so-called ‘blood' or ‘conflict' diamonds that were being mined in places like Sierra Leone and the DRC where workers were being mistreated and profits were fueling war. Our guest was instrumental in the Blood Diamonds initiative, and is now leading the new Blood Battery Campaign that's modelled after it.

Critical minerals are required for the manufacturing of electronics, aerospace equipment, medical devices, and renewable energy technologies, making them essential for a country's economic and national security. These materials have been at the center of China's domestic and foreign policy for many decades, and China's ability to integrate internal industrial policies with foreign trade and investment policies has allowed them to gain dominance in the market. Meanwhile, the US has lagged behind China in terms of both access to and processing technology of critical minerals. The country has been heavily dependent on China for its critical minerals and struggles to find an alternative supplier.China's announcement to impose export restrictions on seven rare earth elements on April 4th has opened many conversations surrounding critical minerals, especially regarding the US and its supply chain vulnerabilities. What has China done to achieve their global dominance in the critical minerals sector, and what can the US do to address the overdependence issue they are facing today? To answer these questions and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Gracelin Baskaran, the director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She is a mining economist whose area of expertise is critical minerals and trade. Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:13] US Dependencies on Rare Earths and Critical Minerals[03:51] Sourcing from Latin America, Africa, and Asia[06:28] Environmental Harm from Mining and Processing[08:11] Deliberate Suppression of the Price of Rare Earths in the Market[11:06] Chinese Exports Restrictions on Seven Rare Earth Elements[14:08] US Administrations' Approaches to Critical Minerals Vulnerability[20:02] 2010 Fishing Boat Accident and Japan's Response [24:00] What might China do moving forward? [27:42] Timeframe for the US to Catch Up to China

Missionary Letter - ARM - Democratic Republic of Congo

Despite its vast natural wealth, the Democratic Republic of Congo is trapped in cycles of war, corruption, and foreign meddling. Armed militias, reportedly backed by Rwanda, have seized parts of the mineral-rich east, raising fears of wider conflict and possible regime change. Journalist and author Michela Wrong joins the podcast to unpack the stakes of Congo's latest crisis—and why it matters beyond the region.

Ryan Brown of Open Doors Open Doors The post The Beheading of 70 Christians by a Muslim Terrorist Group in the Democratic Republic of Congo – Ryan Brown, 2/24/25 (0552) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

What are the prospects for accountability right now for the alleged crimes being committed in eastern DRC?

The idea of Rwanda invading the Democratic Republic of Congo looks, on paper, preposterous. However, as an alliance of rebel groups seized Goma, the biggest city in the DRC’s east, we ask: what is the plan? Fred Bauma joins Andew Mueller with the latest from Kinshasa. Then: Jason Stearns and Michela Wrong tell us about the history behind this conflict and consider the view from Rwanda.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In An Archive of Possibilities: Healing and Repair in Democratic Republic of Congo (Duke UP, 2024), anthropologist and surgeon Rachel Marie Niehuus explores possibilities of healing and repair in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo against a backdrop of 250 years of Black displacement, enslavement, death, and chronic war. Niehuus argues that in a context in which violence characterizes everyday life, Congolese have developed innovative and imaginative ways to live amid and mend from repetitive harm. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and the Black critical theory of Achille Mbembe, Christina Sharpe, Alexis Pauline Gumbs and others, Niehuus explores the renegotiation of relationships with land as a form of public healing, the affective experience of living in insecurity, the hospital as a site for the socialization of pain, the possibility of necropolitical healing, and the uses of prophesy to create collective futures. By considering the radical nature of cohabitating with violence, Niehuus demonstrates that Congolese practices of healing imagine and articulate alternative ways of living in a global regime of antiblackness. Rachel Marie Niehuus is an anthropologist and a surgeon currently on faculty in the Department of Surgery at University of North Carolina. Her next project continues this study of world-making through an analysis of the role of medicine in what might come after the world of Man. Atalia Israeli-Nevo is an anthropology PhD student at the University of Texas at Austin. Learn more about your ad choices.

Heavy fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo has forced thousands to flee as the M23 rebel group, accused of receiving Rwandan support, closes in on the city of Goma. With escalating violence disrupting humanitarian efforts and grounding flights, international leaders are urging immediate action to prevent further destabilisation in the region.

Rwanda has sent troops across the border to the Democratic Republic of Congo to support the rebel M23 groups, triggering the Congolese foreign minister to call for international sanctions against Kigali. We speak to the UN force supporting the DRC national forces and a local journalist in Goma to find out the latest. Also on the programme: President Trump has said Palestinians should move from Gaza to neighbouring Arab countries, we speak to Richard Haass, President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations; and the latest on the Presidential election in Belarus which EU leaders have labelled a farce.(Image: Internally displaced people who fled from various camps following fighting between M23 rebels and the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, gather outside Saint Esprit parish in Goma, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo on January 26, 2025.

Thirteen foreign peacekeepers have been killed in clashes with M23 rebels. The capital city Goma is under threat, and residents are fleeing.Also on the programme; hostage and prisoner releases in the Middle East but who has been freed? And an art heist in the Netherlands, priceless gold artefacts from Romania have been stolen and might now be melted down. (Picture: Internally displaced people in DRC. Credit: Reuters)

There were joyous scenes in both Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories today, as Hamas returned four more Israeli women and Israel freed 200 Palestinians from prison in the second week of the ceasefire.Also: The Democratic Republic of Congo is cutting diplomatic ties with neighbouring Rwanda. Fighting between Congolese forces and Rwanda-backed rebels is intensifying near the border, forcing more than 400-thousand people to flee their homes since the start of the year.And: As U.S. President Donald Trump seeks to end incentives for electric vehicle purchases, similar moves to roll back help for the EV industry in this country are also putting consumers and automakers on a rocky road.Plus: Conservative super caucus in Ontario, looking ahead to Belarus' election, A Rome exhibit celebrating female artists, and more.

After the death of her brother, engineer Thérèse Izay Kirongozi got to work handmaking huge robots to direct traffic and save lives. In 2013 they were installed on the streets of Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They have green lights on their hands, a red light in their chest, can turn around and live stream to a police control centre, they also sing when children cross the road. You might also see the ‘female' robots wearing skirts, make-up and hoop earrings. Thérèse speaks to Megan Jones about her invention. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.
