Podcasts about DRC

Lyse Doucet tells the history of Afghanistan in recent decades through the story of the Inter-Continental hotel, which opened in the capital in 1969. The BBC's international correspondent stayed there frequently from the late 1980s, and she details how the Soviet occupation, civil war, US invasion and the rise, fall and rise of the Taliban have all left their mark on 'The Finest Hotel in Kabul', and the people who worked there.There's plenty of pink champagne and fine dining in Michela Wrong's study of the rise and fall of Mobutu Sese Seko, the charismatic dictator of Congo/ Zaire at the end of the 20th century. It's 25 years since her biography, 'In the Footsteps of Mr Kurtz', was published, and as the Democratic Republic of Congo appears to be on the brink of another civil war, she reflects on this latest cycle of violence.There have been calls for international help in the DRC, but just how effective is military intervention in the long run? Ashleigh Percival-Borley served in Afghanistan in 2010 but had to watch from the sidelines as the US and UK abruptly pulled out a decade later, leaving a vacuum filled by the Taliban. Now, as a military historian and one of BBC Radio 4's researchers-in-residence, she's interested in giving voice to women in war – not just as the victims, but as active participants. The New Generation Thinkers scheme, which puts research on radio, is a partnership between BBC Radio 4 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council.

China is steadily expanding its security presence in Africa through deeper military ties, weapons sales, and multinational deployments as UN Peacekeepers. In fact, China is now the largest arms supplier to Sub-Saharan Africa, according to data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. There are also mounting concerns over the protection of Chinese personnel on the continent who have been regular targets of kidnapping and ransom by bandits in the DRC, Nigeria, and South Africa, among other countries. Lungani Hlongwa, editor of the China-Africa Security Radar on Substack, joins Eric & Cobus to discuss why African militaries are increasingly turning to China and away from traditional partners in the U.S. and Europe.

Africa gets a world beating amount of sunshine — but has just 1% of the world's solar panels. Over half the continent still lives without electricity, stalling progress and holding back people's lives. But change may be coming — thanks to a surge in solar imports from China. New data from energy think tank EMBER shows a 60% jump in solar panel shipments to Africa in the past year. If installed, they could generate 15 GW — nearly doubling Africa's current solar capacity. It's not just the biggest energy users like South Africa, Nigeria, and Algeria. Countries like Liberia, DRC, Benin, Angola, and Ethiopia have tripled their imports. So, is this the start of a solar-powered revolution on the continent? Hosts Graihagh Jackson and Jordan Dunbar speak to Dr Rose Mutiso, Science Advisor at the Energy for Growth Hub and Founder of the African Tech Futures Lab. Got a question?

Huko Bunia, jimboni Ituri Mashariki Mwa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo DRC,  Mkuu wa Operesheni za Ulinzi wa Amani za Umoja wa Mataifa, Jean-Pierre Lacroix, amepongeza juhudi za pamoja za walinda amani wa Mpango wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa kulinda amani nchini humo MONUSCO na jeshi la serikali ya Congo, FARDC, katika juhudi za kulinda raia na kupunguza ghasia za makundi yenye silaha.Akizungumza wakati wa ziara yake iliyoanza Septemba 6, Mashariki mwa DRC katika jimbo la Ituri Lacroix amesema ushirikiano na kuaminiana kati ya mamlaka za jimbo la Ituri na vikosi vya Umoja wa Mataifa ni msingi muhimu wa kurejesha amani.Anasema “Nipo katika eneo liitwalo Fataki, katika jimbo la Ituri, Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, na hapa kuna kambi ya MONUSCO yenye kikosi cha Nepal, pamoja na kambi ya wakimbizi wa ndani.

Thann Bennett, author of The Equipped Newsletter and host of The Equipped, challenges us from the book of Habbakuk that sometimes we might not understand, or even agree, with something God says. But He's not always asking you to understand, but to faithfully share the Word.  Daniel DeWitt of Theolatte and Scholar Leaders shares about Dr. Jean Musavuli, a Congolese Christian who, in the face of much persecution, continue to impact the DRC because of his commitment to Jesus, seeking justice, and praying for his country's transformation.  Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support.

In this new episode of the mini-series on documentation practices, we turn to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Together with Dr. Valérie Arnould, Legal and Policy Advisor on transitional justice with the international NGO Avocats Sans Frontières (ASF), we explore the challenges and possibilities of documenting human rights violations in a country marked by protracted violence, impunity, and ongoing transitional justice initiatives.Valérie reflects on ASF's multi-layered documentation practices, emphasizing that documentation forms the foundation of transitional justice. She explains that its value extends far beyond supporting trials or reparations mechanisms such as the relatively new Congolese National Reparations Fund (FONAREV). It also serves to counter misinformation, resist denial, and make visible under-recognised forms of victimisation—such as enforced disappearances.The key question in our work is how do you engage in documentation that is truly meaningful to the victims, and in which they can have a direct stake in shaping the record of violations.Furthermore, Valérie sheds light on the practical and ethical dilemmas of documenting in an ongoing conflict. Where you “need to develop a documentation strategy, accepting that it will be imperfect.” While open-source intelligence (OSINT) is often presented as the cutting edge of innovation in human rights monitoring, Valérie warns that in the DRC such tools can risk detaching documentation from the lived realities of victims, particularly given the limited accessibility of digital spaces.She stresses that innovation should not only be about digital methodologies, but also about rethinking “documentation and archives as not being just about data collection and about information, but also about lived experiences and storytelling.” Community-based practices such as local storytelling, dialogue processes, or the preservation of atrocity sites and mass graves already exist, yet remain under-supported by traditional human rights organisations.

Paratus Group executive chairman Barney Harmse joins the TechCentral Show to share the story of the telecommunications group's rise from small beginnings in Angola and Namibia more than 20 years ago and how it became one of Southern Africa's biggest ICT infrastructure players. Paratus started life in Angola in 2003, evolving from a local internet service provider into a pan‑African telecoms powerhouse. Co-founded by Harmse with Schalk Erasmus, Rolf Mendelsohn, Martin Boese and Miles October, it grew rapidly and now has infrastructure across the region, including in Zambia, Botswana, South Africa, Mozambique, the DRC and Namibia. This week, it officially launched the first privately owned mobile network operator in Namibia, which will compete directly with the state-owned incumbents. Today the business works closely with the likes of Starlink, Google and Meta Platforms and plays a significant role in long-distance, metropolitan and access networks across the region. It also helped land Google's Equiano cable on the Namibian coast. In this lively interview with TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod, Harmse unpacks the Paratus story, touching on: • What building telecoms infrastructure across the vast reaches of Southern Africa has entailed, including memorable moments along the way; • The company's financial backers, and its capital-raising plans – including a possible future listing in New York; • Why it built a network of long-distance fibre across Southern Africa; • Paratus's relationship with Elon Musk's Starlink, and why it's a key role player in the launch of the low-Earth orbit satellite provider's offering across the region; • The launch of the mobile network in Namibia and why it's a significant development in the Paratus story; and • The opportunities still ahead for Paratus Group.

Ecora Resources PLC (LSE:ECOR, TSX:ECOR, OTCQX:ECRAF) CEO Marc Bishop Lafleche talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's half-year results and the outlook for the rest of 2025. Lafleche said the results build on strong momentum carried into the year, highlighting that producing assets are increasingly demonstrating free cash flow potential. He noted that Kestrel volumes will be weighted towards the second half, the opposite of last year. Base metals were a key driver, with portfolio revenue up 81% year-on-year to just under $10 million. On the company's cobalt exposure, Lafleche pointed to strong progress at Voisey's Bay, where Ecora upgraded its 2025 entitlement guidance to 365–390 tonnes. He said: “In the first half of the year, we received 140 tonnes of cobalt, compared to 56 tonnes last year.” Prices have also improved, rising to around $18–20 per pound following the DRC export ban. Copper assets also performed well, with Mantos Blancos delivering record quarters and a feasibility study underway for a second-phase expansion. The recently acquired Mimbula copper stream provided maiden income in Q2 and is expected to contribute further in H2. Lafleche also discussed progress at the Phalaborwa rare earths project in South Africa, positive US government actions to secure critical mineral supply chains, and the sale of the Dugbe gold royalty for up to $20 million.

A second investigation by Disability Rights California (DRC) has once again revealed inhumane conditions at a southern California ICE detention center imprisoning immigrants. The facility is called Adelanto Detention Center and is owned and operated by a private company: The GEO Group. DRC investigators found the following conditions: Inadequate Access to Medical and Mental Health Care and Disability Accommodations Inadequate Access to Food, Water, and Clothes Limited Connections with Family and Natural Supports This investigation comes at a time when ICE faces mounting accusations of mismanaging detention facilities, contracting with private operators that cut corners, and wrongfully detaining many immigrants — including some U.S. citizens. Joining us to shed light on the investigation is DRC attorney Adeyinka Glover, formerly a Clients' Rights Advocate for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Adeyinka has also fought for housing rights, protection from domestic violence, guardianships, and environmental justice in the Central Valley. Her career is fueled by the belief that high-quality legal advocacy can help underserved populations including individuals, families, and communities not just survive, but thrive. Adeyinka holds a J.D. from Thomas Jefferson School of Law and a B.A. in Political Science with a minor in Africana Studies from San Diego State University. When she's not in the fight for justice, she enjoys traveling and exploring art in all its forms. This program is produced and hosted by Eddie Ytuarte.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum would be remiss not to address the crackdown happening in our nation’s capital. The residents of Washington D.C., a city with more than 40% Black residents, are under siege. We hav reports from the ground of federal agents rolling out in overwhelming force and literally showing up on folks’ doorsteps. Trump’s stated goal is to crack down on “crime,” homelessness, and teenagers. Our hosts watch some clips and discuss, featuring friends of the show, Ty Hobson-Powell and Elizabeth Booker Houston. Then an update on the redistricting wars with Rep. Veasey (TX-33), Rep. Cleaver (MO-5), and State Rep Jones (TX-147). Texas Governor Abbot has said he will end the special session he called to redraw Texas’ electoral maps, which Texas Democrats fled the state to protest. What happens next? Will the Texas Dems be apprehended by the FBI? Do they have a path to victory in Texas or is the strategy mutually assured destruction (looking at you California)? We get the facts from the source. Did you know that the Democratic Republic of the Congo supplies much of the world’s cobalt, a vital mineral that helps power your smart phone? While this critical resource should be making the country fabulously wealthy, it has instead been a major driver of violence and exploitation. As promised, Tiffany Cross delivers a report on the DRC after her recent trip there. TAKE OUR SURVEY, WIN A PRIZE!

On episode 91, our hosts Angela Rye and Andrew Gillum bring on super-guest and renowned progressive journalist: Mehdi Hasan. Tiffany Cross is away this week but she sent us a report from the ground in the DRC. Mehdi Hasan was featured on a Jubilee debate where he (a proclaimed progressive) debated 20 “far-right” young people. The debate was shocking, participants called themselves fascists, and told Mehdi, a naturalized citizen, to “get out” of the country. Mehdi reflects on the debate, the surprise and trauma of it, and what it says (and doesn’t say) about modern conservatives. In addition, the hosts chat with him about redistricting (see below). Follow Mehdi Hassan’s work at https://zeteo.com/ Gerrymandering, the unfair drawing of electoral maps to benefit one’s own party, has been an issue for decades. Egged on by the Trump administration, we are now on the verge of an all-out gerrymandering war. Redistricting (redrawing maps) normally happens at the end of each decade. Trump demanded that Texas redraw their map now to add more Republican seats and the Texas GOP obliged. In response, Democratic state reps have fled Texas to prevent the new maps from being voted on, and governors of blue states like California and New York have threatened to change their state laws to allow more partisan gerrymandering in favor of Democrats. Tiffany Cross is meeting with the president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. She’ll talk with him ab0ut the civil conflict in the DRC and foreign exploitation of the country’s mineral resources. TAKE OUR SURVEY, WIN A PRIZE!
