In this episode of the Foreign Area Officer Podcast, I interview Julie Tully and her husband U.S. Navy CAPT(R) John Tulley. We discuss Julie's transition from a cowgirl in Northern California to a 'nomadic Navy spouse' and the dynamic journey from her career in agriculture to becoming a Foreign Area Officer (FAO) spouse, living and working in Europe and Africa for fifteen consecutive years. The conversation delves into the couple's experiences living in Cameroon, Nigeria, and Djibouti and the impact of their roles there. They touch on memorable challenges, the importance of self-reliance, and the significant contributions spouses make to the FAO mission. Julie also shares the inspiration and stories behind her book, 'Dispatches from the Cowgirl,' offering a deeper look into the FAO lifestyle and its challenges and rewards.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin follow another Trump Weekend™ with another Monday KITM! YAY! QAnon was right — THEY don't want you to know! Imagine MAGA's surprise, and everyone else's lack of surprise, when “They” turned out to be Trump. Trump's Epstein cover-up (The latest cover-up, that is, as Trump has covered for Epstein forever.) could tear apart MAGA as a portion of them actually believe what they've been saying, and for most of them, this issue is the most complex that they are prepared to handle. Heads must roll, and that never means Trump. Therefore, Ghislaine Maxwell is making certain that all of her prison security cameras are in tiptop condition today. Dan Bongino was too undisclosed to clock into work this morning. That leaves Pam Bondi, She-Wolf of the DOJ, who has just fired her personal ethics chief. Kash Patel threatens to show up even less at work if Pam stays. Eight men were told that they were being sent to Louisiana but ended up in Djibouti. Following the orders of armed masked men never turns out well. Kristi Noem expects that more bureaucracy, more paperwork, more delays and more inefficiencies will lead to more government savings. Fewer survivors equal even more savings. Of course, in central Texas, a functioning government equals Communism. In New York City, voters see things differently.
We've got Gabe and Merv on the show today, with Kenny G sitting quietly in the corner. There was a long, in-depth discussion about Superman 2025, covering many aspects of the film and a good portion of the DC Universe. Zack told everyone that Erick didn't make it through Black Panther, but there was a reason for that. There's also a good chance Gabby will perform well at the box office.

Jake has 25 years experience in law enforcement as an American cop; now he lives in Thailand and trains people who are traveling internationally into high threat environments. Jake trains them and helps to manage crises while they're in-country, assisting them with any kind of emergency that would cause them to be ejected from that nation, from war to crime to earthquakes and other natural disasters.Traveling internationally might be the only time that many American police officers are unarmed. They carry a gun and knife on duty and off duty but not while traveling to foreign countries, which can leave you feeling pretty exposed. Jake is going to talk to us about how not to get kidnapped while traveling in a foreign country. He's going to cover all kinds of scenarios including carjacking, pickpockets, and dealing with scams while traveling.Resources:The UK travel advise site: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-adviceThe US travel advise site: travel.state.govMusic is by National Sweetheart and by Chris HaugenHey Chaplain Podcast Episode 117Tags:Police, Assault, Bags, Budget, Carjacking, Guns, Kidnapping, Motorcycles, Pickpocketing, Robbery, Safety, Scams, Taxis, Trains, Transportation, Travel, Bangladesh, Djibouti, Ethiopia, France, Haiti, India, Kenya, Lebanon, Mexico, Nigeria, Philippines, Poland, Romania, St Maarten, Syria, Thailand, Uganda, Ukraine, YemenSupport the showThanks for Listening!

Your Nightly Prayer
Nestled in the Horn of Africa on the easternmost part of the African continent is a small country called Djibouti. It's bordered by three other countries: Eritrea to the north, Ethiopia to the west, and Somalia to the south. Djibouti's eastern border abuts the busy shipping lanes of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. These bodies of water are connected by the Bab al-Mandab Strait which serves as an essential gateway between the Mediterranean Sea with the Indian Ocean. Directly across that narrow body of water from Djibouti is Yemen. You can imagine the geopolitical significance of this particular part of the world. You might be thinking of issues pertaining to global trade, to international peace, to development and humanitarian assistance. And you might not be surprised to know that there is a United States military presence in Djibouti. But you might be surprised to learn that the only Catholic priest currently serving in the US military for the entire continent of Africa is living there in Djibouti. You might also be surprised to learn that this priest is a Jesuit, one who just a few months ago was teaching theology and neuroscience to undergraduates at Creighton University. Now, Fr. Chris Krall is serving as a chaplain, having been called up from his reserve status at the end of the 2024 fall semester. Instead of grading papers, he's traveling by helicopter to remote bases across Africa to bring the sacraments and a listening ear. Fr. Chris is our guest today calling in all the way from east Africa. If you've ever wondered what it's like to be a priest ministering to folks in the military, this conversation is for you. We talk about how Chris' current mission fits into his Jesuit vocation of being available to go where God's people need him. We wrestle with some of the possible tensions inherent in being a priest in the military. And we reflect on the surprising similarities between ministering to colleges students and ministering to women and men in uniform. A note: This conversation was recorded in late May.

Trump Declares Iran War Over, But Violence Continues President Trump announces a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, marking the end of what he calls “The 12-Day War.” However, hours later, Iran fires missiles into Israel, killing civilians and casting doubt on the truce. Trump credits intense negotiations, a coordinated missile strike on a U.S. base in Qatar, and backchannel diplomacy with Qatar for securing peace, though federal agencies are still bracing for cyberattacks and sleeper cell threats. Iran's Military Crippled, Supreme Leader Marginalized Israel's extensive bombing campaign has left Iran's military and missile infrastructure devastated. The Fordow nuclear site is believed to be inoperable, and Tehran's airspace has been compromised. Trump warns Iran and its allies not to test American resolve, while U.S. intelligence keeps close watch on potential "loose nuke" material and foreign meddling from Russia or China. Supreme Court Sides with Trump on Deportation Powers The Court allows the deportation of illegal immigrants to countries that are not their homeland, marking a win for the White House and a relief for ICE agents stranded in Djibouti. However, a Democrat judge in Boston defies the ruling, creating legal chaos. Florida responds by building a new migrant facility in the Everglades, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” Mexican Mayor Praises Trump's Border Plan The mayor of Nogales, Mexico, endorses Trump's deportation strategy, saying it brings order and coordination that benefits border communities. Meanwhile, revelations emerge that leftist protestors are being hired through companies like Crowds on Demand to disrupt immigration enforcement. Violence Against ICE Agents Surges DHS reports a 500 percent increase in assaults on ICE officers. Officials and family members are being doxxed, attacked, and harassed, as Democratic leaders call ICE a “secret police” and demand agents show their identities while defending protestors' rights to wear masks. Nebraskans Line Up to Work in Meatpacking. No Migrants Needed A new beef processing plant in North Platte, Nebraska, is drawing strong interest from American workers with 2,000 applicants for 850 jobs. Workers like Angela Jones are earning $25 an hour with benefits, challenging the narrative that Americans won't take “dirty jobs.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32 Take your personal data back with Incogni!

Dans une interview accordée à plusieurs médias haïtiens, Fritz Jean, le président du Conseil présidentiel de transition (CPT), dresse un «constat alarmant» sur la situation du pays. Entre manque de coordination, blocages administratifs, inertie étatique et pressions d'acteurs puissants mus par des intérêts inavoués, il expose l'impuissance criante d'«un pouvoir de transition guetté par le désespoir», rapporte notre confrère Gotson Pierre, directeur d'Alterpresse. Dans cet entretien, Fritz Jean accuse notamment des responsables, y compris au sein de l'État, d'avoir «collaboré ou fermé les yeux sur les agissements des gangs». Au sujet du processus de révision constitutionnelle qui est bloqué, il avoue «ne pas comprendre certaines parties de l'avant-projet» et annonce la tenue d'un comité de lecture pour le réécrire. Ce texte est de toute façon «contesté par plusieurs secteurs», souligne Gotson Pierre. À six semaines de la fin de son mandat et alors que le processus de transition est censé s'achever dans sept mois, Fritz Jean semble fait un aveu d'échec et d'impuissance. «Il prend le peuple à témoin», analyse Gotson Pierre. Mais le bilan du CPT sera quoi qu'il arrive «bien maigre». La Cour suprême autorise Donald Trump à expulser des sans-papiers vers des pays tiers L'administration Trump pourra envoyer des migrants dans des pays dont ils ne sont pas citoyens, explique le Washington Post, et avec lesquels ils n'ont même aucun lien, précise le New York Times. Actuellement, huit hommes attendent sur une base militaire américaine de Djibouti, transformée en centre de détention improvisé, d'être envoyés au Soudan du Sud, raconte le quotidien. Depuis le mois de mai 2025, ils y vivent dans des conditions sanitaires précaires et sous la menace de tirs de roquettes. En première instance, des juges progressistes avaient ordonné que leur transfert vers le Soudan du Sud soit stoppé parce que ces personnes n'avaient pas pu contester devant la justice leur expulsion, ni fournir des preuves qu'ils risquaient d'être torturés dans le pays d'accueil choisi par les États-Unis. Cette décision de la Cour suprême n'est que provisoire. Comme l'explique le New York Times, c'est maintenant à une cour d'appel, puis à nouveau à la Cour suprême, de se prononcer sur le fond du dossier. Pour l'administration Trump, ces expulsions vers des pays tiers concernent «les pires des pires criminels», rapporte le Washington Post, et elles sont nécessaires car souvent, leurs pays d'origine refusent d'autoriser leur retour. Faux, répond la défense pour qui la plupart des sans papiers concernés n'ont jamais été condamnés et sont initialement entrés légalement aux États-Unis avec un visa de réfugié, d'étudiant ou de travail. Le Canada et l'UE signent un accord de défense Le Premier ministre canadien, Mark Carney, était présent à Bruxelles hier pour assister au 20è sommet Union européenne/Canada. Face à la menace de son voisin du sud d'en faire le 51ème État américain, et face aux droits de douane qui le frappe, Ottawa cherche à renforcer ses partenariats avec l'UE. Bruxelles est dans la même optique : l'Union européenne entend noyer des accords internationaux pour faire face à la remise en cause de l'ordre mondial par Donald Trump. Pour le New York Times, le président américain repousse ses alliés de toujours. Il exige que ses partenaires dépensent plus pour s'armer et promet de réduire le rôle de son pays en ce qui concerne la sécurité internationale. Et en même temps, «il a lancé une guerre commerciale contre certains des alliés traditionnels les plus proches» du pays, analyse le quotidien. Une attitude qui «reconfigure le réseau mondial des partenariats», écrit le New York Times. Le Canada, la France, l'Allemagne et les autres pays de l'Union européenne nouent de nouvelles alliances pour être moins dépendant des États-Unis qui sont de plus en plus capricieux, juge le journal. Le parc du Mapocho Rio, à Santiago du Chili Notre dossier du jour nous emmène au Chili, à la découverte d'un immense parc dans la capitale. Le Mapocho Rio vient d'ouvrir, équipé pour accueillir des familles et des habitants des deux communes les plus pauvres du pays qui l'entourent. Le parc compte des jeux pour enfants, plusieurs terrains de foot, des tables de ping-pong, un mur d'escalade, un skate parc et surtout des milliers d'arbres qui font du Mapocho Rio, une sorte de poumon vert à Santiago. Reportage de Naïla Derroisné. De quelle nationalité était Carlos Gardel ? Né en France, mais de nationalité argentine ou uruguayenne ? Ce mardi, c'est le 90è anniversaire de sa mort et le débat continue, écrit La Nacion. Le succès de Carlos Gardel a été tel que des deux côtés du Rio de la plata, on s'approprie le chanteur, compositeur de tango et acteur. Lui-même a entretenu la confusion, explique le quotidien. Comme le raconte Walter Santoro, le président de la Fondation internationale Carlos Gardel, dans les colonnes de La Nacion, l'artiste disait toujours que dans la vie, il ne faut pas diviser, mais multiplier. Pas question pour lui de soutenir un parti ou une équipe de football. Pas question non plus de parler de religion. Et en 1930, pour le premier mondial de football, lors de la finale opposant l'Argentine à l'Uruguay, chaque pays pouvait choisir un artiste le représentant. Carlos Gardel a chanté pour les deux. Et à la presse qui lui demandait qui il voulait voir gagner, il a répondu : «Mon petit coeur est divisé». Le journal de la 1ère En Martinique, le président de la Collectivité Territoriale se dit «surpris et déçu» par le futur projet de loi «contre la vie chère».

Deep in the desert of Djibouti, the French Foreign Legion trains their bodies to become living weapons. This tight-knit squad of highly specialized individuals are prepping for a conflict that never finds them, where individuality is ground down into dust, and all that's left is the collective militaristic identity. The salted flats and arid landscape make for an operatic backdrop of Claire Denis' 1999 feature, Beau Travail, where bodies become the only means for outward expression, and creeping thoughts tear at the soul. An adaption of Herman Melville's novella, Billy Budd, this film follows Adjudant-Chef Galoup as he reflects on his life during his time in Africa leading a group of soldiers, and his inner tension towards a new gifted recruit, Sentain, up to where he ends up back at his home in Marseilles. This film excels in creating space for what is left unsaid, and holding onto moments that exist in-between action and reaction. Like a rocket primed for launch, all we can do is hold our breath and see what comes next. As always, thank you for listening, and we hope you enjoy our discussion.

The Trump Administration is looking to add to its travel ban list and additional thirty-six countries which include twenty-five African nations as well as major U.S. partners Egypt and Djibouti. We discuss the major implications that adding U.S. partners to a travel ban might lead to and how they came to the decision on these countries.
Tommy and Ben unpack Trump's cruel and incoherent travel bans, the administration's callous stranding of migrants and ICE agents in Djibouti, the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US and his immediate prosecution, and the revival of the plan to send thousands of migrants to Guantánamo. They also discuss Trump's upcoming North Korea-style military (and birthday) extravaganza and Trump's abuse of the military for his personal interests. Also covered: Israel's interception of Greta Thunberg's Freedom Flotilla to Gaza and her subsequent deportation, the continuing chaos of Israel's disastrous humanitarian aid plan for the strip, Israel arming Gazan clans to fight Hamas, and the intra-MAGA war being waged over Trump's Iran policy. Finally, they take a tour through Tulsi Gabbard's dark twisted nuclear fantasy. Then, the guys speak with Jacinda Ardern, former Prime Minister of New Zealand, about how Covid changed global politics, working with big tech to reduce radicalization, and the need to hold two truths at once when it comes to Gaza. Her new book is a A Different Kind of Power. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Today's Headlines: Protests erupted in Los Angeles after immigration raids led to 45 arrests, culminating in clashes, arrests, and Trump deploying the National Guard—without the governor's request—for the first time since 1965. Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national accused of transporting undocumented migrants, while a DOJ prosecutor resigned the same day. Separately, ICE officers and deportees were found stranded in a metal container in Djibouti, dodging malaria and rockets, after a judge blocked a deportation flight. On the Trump-Musk front, Trump declared their bromance over and warned of "consequences" if Musk funds Democrats, while concerns grew over a possible White House security breach from an unmonitored Starlink installation. The Supreme Court handed two pro-DOGE rulings—allowing access to Social Security data and shielding internal records. Meanwhile, a 22-year-old Trump campaign alum was put in charge of distributing anti-terrorism funds. And finally, a salmonella outbreak linked to eggs has sickened 79 people across 7 states.

Last month Pierce County resident Tuan Thanh Phan was deported. That wasn’t unexpected for Tuan or his family - he was planning on starting a new life in Vietnam after he was deported. His permanent residency was revoked in 2009, nearly ten years after he was convicted of first degree murder and second degree assault. The surprise was where he went. He wasn’t going to Vietnam, his birth country. Instead, Tuan ended up on a flight to South Sudan. That was redirected to Djibouti. The flight was part of a push by the Trump administration to remove convicted visa holders from the U.S. – back to countries that aren’t their own. Now Phan's wife is sounding the alarm - she hasn't heard from her husband since he was sent to Djbouti.

Today's Headlines: Representative Gerry Connolly of Virginia passed away at 75 from esophageal cancer, just weeks after announcing he would not seek re-election and being named the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. Meanwhile, President Trump hosted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, derailing trade discussions by screening a video alleging a white genocide in South Africa—claims Ramaphosa rejected. This comes as the administration continues to deport refugees from numerous countries while welcoming white Afrikaners. Separately, the DOJ has launched a criminal investigation into Andrew Cuomo over his COVID-era decisions as governor, raising suspicions of political motives ahead of his likely NYC mayoral bid against Eric Adams, whose own federal charges were recently dropped. The DOJ also announced it will dismiss police reform consent decrees in Louisville and Minneapolis and rescind earlier findings against the Phoenix Police Department, effectively reversing major civil rights investigations. Finally, a federal judge found the Trump administration in violation of a court order after it deported migrants—most not from South Sudan—to South Sudan, only for the flight to be rerouted to Djibouti, again without legal basis.

Gassira est une femme extra-ordinairement envoûtante et une maman extrêmement inspirante par sa vision pure et épurée de l'enfantement et de la parentalité. Gassira vient dans cet épisode vous parler de son cheminement de femme à travers la maternité, qu'elle considère comme étant un programme inné en toute femme et comme une transformation profonde qui l'anime depuis toujours.Elle revient sur sa propre naissance de maman avec le récit de son accouchement en toute autonomie chez elle, en France. Une grossesse et une naissance sereine, naturelle et en puissance. Malgré un enfantement souverain, Gassira a connu une rupture momentanée dans cette élévation puisqu'elle a dû appeler les secours après la naissance de sa fille qui avait ingurgité son méconium et qui devait bénéficier de soins. Gassira dépeint un portrait poignant et saisissant de sa prise en charge par le corps médical avec des soignants désemparés par l'enfantement qu'elle avait eu avec pour seul vecteur un regard raciste sur son choix d'accoucher à domicile. Gassira vous berce tout au long de notre échange sur cette communication qu'elle connait depuis toujours entre le visible et l'invisible. Entre lecture d'âmes ou communication d'âmes avec son enfant ou encore réflexion sur le désir d'enfant ou encore sur la possibilité de faire des choix éclairés en France, Gassira vous pousse et vous emmène à vous éduquer en tant que femme et en tant que mère. Riche de ses voyages entre le Canada, le Kenya, le Maroc, la France ou encore de son pays natal Djibouti où elle est Revenue vivre, elle vous permet d'ouvrir votre regard sur une vision plus solaire et ancrée de ce qu'est : le naître mère.Je vous souhaite un magnifique voyage au cœur de la maternité de Gassira et puisse cet échange vous élever à votre tour...Pour retrouver Gassira sur Instagram : @gassiratanabaPour retrouver MAM'ELLES sur Instagram : @mamelles_lepodcastSur YOUTUBE et Facebook : MAM'ELLESMon site internet : mamelles.frMa boutique en ligne : Boutique - MAM'ELLES (mamelles.fr)MAM'ELLES est un podcast réalisé par Marion TERTEREAU.

Face aux vagues de chaleur record, aux mégafeux incontrôlables et à l'accélération du chaos climatique, certains n'envisagent plus seulement de réduire nos émissions mais veulent modifier le climat lui-même. Voile solaire dans l'espace, nuages artificiels, rideaux sous-marins… Et si la réponse se trouvait plutôt dans la plantation d'arbres, à l'instar du projet de la Grande muraille verte, du Sénégal à Djibouti, en passant par le Mali, le Niger, le Bénin, ou encore le Burkina Faso ?
En 2025, la dite “affaire Borrel” a trente ans. Elle a vu défiler quatre présidents de la Ve République, quinze ministres de la justice et autant de juges d'instruction. Elle pèse dix-huit tomes, huit mille côtes, des milliers et des milliers de pages, de documents éparpillés dans les bureaux des ambassades, de l'Élysée, des services de renseignements, certains protégés par le secret-défense, occultés par la raison d'État qui s'obstine à taire la vérité face aux demandes d'une famille brisée, non moins déterminée.

A l'hôpital militaire Bouffard, un médecin a procédé à un examen du corps. Il a constaté une bouche noirâtre, une brûlure des muqueuses des voies aériennes supérieures, et conclu à un oedème pulmonaire, causée par l'inhalation des vapeurs d'essence. L'enquête, sitôt entamée, s'arrête là. Deux jours plus tard, Elisabeth Borrel sera tout de même entendue par la police djiboutienne.

Une terre pauvre en ressources naturelles, ses bienfaits sont ailleurs : la France s'en est autrefois emparée pour sa position stratégique, au débouché de la mer Rouge, une zone sensible où de l'autre côté du Golfe, les Britanniques avaient élu domicile au Yémen. Un siècle plus tard, dans les années 1960, précipité par la vague d'émancipation des anciennes colonies européennes en Afrique, un nouveau statut est décrété.
De quoi la Mission Dakar-Djibouti est-elle le nom ? Partie de France le 19 mai 1931 pour traverser d'est en ouest le continent pendant presque deux ans, la mission menée par Marcel Griaule, jeune ethnologue de 33 ans, est un périple transafricain d'exploration scientifique doublé d'une vitrine médiatique dont l'objectif est d'« archiver dans l'urgence les cultures africaines en voie de disparition ». Résultat des courses : une collection de 3 600 objets, 6 000 spécimens zoologiques ou botaniques et 370 manuscrits éthiopiens dont le Musée du Quai Branly décide un siècle plus tard d'interroger la provenance. Autrement dit : ont-ils été offerts, achetés ou volés ? Si le secrétaire archiviste de la Mission Michel Leiris a décrit précisément les méthodes de collecte dans son livre journal de bord, L'Afrique fantôme, son récit invisibilise néanmoins totalement la multitude d'africaines et d'africains indispensables à la réalisation de la mission. Une Afrique fantôme, c'est le titre de son récit qu'il s'agit de réincarner à partir d'une contre-enquête initiée par le Musée du Quai Branly. Son principe ? Retourner sur le terrain africain de la Mission Dakar-Djibouti pour interroger la mémoire des lieux et de ses habitants afin d'établir la réalité des faits et la fonction des objets. Une contre-enquête avec les premiers concernés interrogés par six chercheurs africains dont les pays ont été traversés par la mission : le Bénin, le Cameroun, l'Éthiopie, le Mali, le Sénégal et bien-sûr Djibouti.Mais la Mission Dakar-Djibouti contre-enquêtes propose-t-elle un contre-récit ? C'est toute la question !► Avec la participation de : Gaëlle Beaujean, Commissaire générale de l'exposition Dakar-Djibouti Contre-enquêtes et responsable de Collections Afrique au Musée du quai Branly Mame Magatte Sène Thiaw, Historienne et cheffe du service médiation Culturelle au Musée des Civilisations noire de Dakar Didier Houénoudé, Professeur à l'Université d'Abomey-Calavi au Bénin Eric Jolly, directeur de recherche au CNRS et directeur de l'ouvrage qui accompagne l'exposition Emmanuel Kasarhérou, Président du Musée du Quai Branly Jacques Chirac
The guys were joined in-studio this week by Colin Sellers—land surveyor, father, veteran, and part-time GPS wizard—joined us to discuss how moving around Georgia, joining the military, and raising a kid named Ragnarok (yes, like the Norse apocalypse) all led to one thing: a love affair with surveying that might just rival his affection for coffee. From dodging camels in Djibouti to resurrecting section corners like Indiana Jones with a data collector, Colin shares tales of grit, GPS, and generational wisdom—especially the time he and his son turned a Nebraska project into a family bonding moment worthy of a Pixar movie. He also dives into For The Quest, a geo-RPG that turns map-hunting into a noble pursuit, proving once and for all that surveyors can be adventurers too… just with more sunburns and fewer dragons. And of course, it all wraps up with a dose of philosophy, family values, and a reminder that the best education often comes from the dirt under your boots—not the letters after your name.
