Podcasts about DRC

Baada ya shinikizo kutoka kwa Marekani, waasi wa M23/AFC waliondoka kwenye mji wa Uvira, Mashariki mwa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo. Hata hivyo, rais Felix Tshisekedi ameelezea kitendo hicho kama kiini macho kwa jumuiya ya Kimataifa, kauli ambayo imeungwa na mkono na jeshi la FARDC wanaosema, waasi hao wamejificha katika milima inayopatikana na mji huo. Kuchambua kinachoendelea, tunaungana  Mali Ali akiwa  jijini Paris na François Alwende akiwa jijini Nairobi.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is a country in central Africa the size of Western Europe and rich in arable land and minerals, including those critical to the military industrial complex, such as cobalt and coltan. Since the CIA-backed assassination of Patrice Lumumba in 1961, the DRC has been ruled by puppets who answer to the United States and its allies. 2025 has been a devastating year for the DRC. Clearing the FOG speaks with Maurice Carney, the executive director of Friends of the Congo, about the occupation by Rwandan forces, mass displacement of millions of people, and the recent 'peace agreements' that rob the DRC of its riches and sovereignty. He discusses this in the context of Kwame Nkrumah's work, "Neo-colonialism: The last stage of imperialism." For more information, visit PopularResistance.org.

We're looking back at 10 of the episodes that defined 2025 at The Take. This originally aired on January 30. None of the dates or references have been changed. Bodies are lining the streets of Goma and hospitals are overwhelmed after an escalation in the long-simmering conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Rwandan-backed M23 group claims it took control of the city, and the DRC has called it a declaration of war by Rwanda. But why is Rwanda involved and what are its interests?

Baraza la Usalama la Umoja wa Mataifa limeongeza muda wa mwaka mmoja kwa ujumbe wa kulinda amani nchini DRC, wakati mapigano yakiongezeka mashariki mwa nchi hiyo kufuatia mashambulizi mapya ya waasi wa M23. Uamuzi huu unakuja wakati mjadala ukiendelea kuhusu ufanisi wa MONUSCO nchini humo. Je, unaamini hatua hii itasaidia au ujumbe huo umepoteza uaminifu na uwezo wa kuleta mabadiliko ya kweli? Je, umoja wa Mataifa unapaswa kufikiria upya mkakati wake wa kulinda amani nchini DRC?

Miongoni mwa matukio makubwa ya wiki hii ni pamoja na waasi wa AFC/M23 kutangaza kujiondoa kwenye mji wa kimkakati wa Uvira mkowani kivu kusini mashariki mwa DRC hatua ambayo imetiliwa mashaka, shirika la kimataifa la Amnesty lasema polisi nchini Tanzania walitumia nguvu kupita kiasi kudhibiti waandamanaji kipindi cha uchaguzi, wafuasi wa rais wa Tunisia, Kais Saied waandamana kuonesha ungwaji mkono huku mzozo wa kisiasa ukizidi, Umoja wa ulaya EU kuiipa Ukraine mkopo wa Yuro Bilioni 90

Hali ya usalama Mashariki mwa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, si shwari licha ya kutiwa saini kwa mkataba unaolenga kusitisha vita ambavyo vimekuwa vikiendelea kwa muda wa miaka 30. Waasi wa M23/AFC wameudhibiti mji wa Uvira. Marekani inaonya kuichukulia hatua Rwanda kwa kuwaunga mkono waasi hao ambao sasa wameahidi kuondoa vikosi vyake katika mji huo, lakini kwa masharti. Tunachambua kwa kina.

In this bonus episode, Ghost takes listeners on a rapid-fire tour of Africa's escalating conflicts and how they tie directly into Trump's newly released National Security Strategy. He breaks down the Thai–Cambodian border clashes happening in real time as he reads the document, then pivots to major developments across Africa, Burundi and Rwanda trading accusations after bombings, the M23 rebel advance in the DRC, and the strategic fight for rare earth minerals that underpin global power. Ghost walks through maps, troop movements, rebel-backed offensives, and the growing involvement of regional players including Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, and the U.S. He also analyzes the attempted coup in Benin, Nigeria's controversial intervention, and the Sahel alliance's warning that their air defenses are now on high alert. Throughout the episode, Ghost connects each flashpoint to the broader global conflict playing out in Ukraine, Venezuela, and beyond, arguing that Africa has become a central front in the worldwide struggle between sovereign nations and globalist powers. A dense, immersive, high-signal briefing from start to finish.  

Silt Sand Slurry: Dredging, Sediment, and the Worlds We Are Making is a visually rich investigation into where, why, and how sediment is central to the future of America's coasts. It was written by Rob Homes, Brett Milligan, and Gena Wirth, with contributions by Sean Burkholder, Brian Davis, and Justine Holzman and published by Applied Research + Design Publishing in 2023. Sediment is an unseen infrastructure that shapes and enables modern life. Silt is scooped from sea floors to deepen underwater highways for container ships. It is diverted from river basins to control flooding. It is collected, sorted, managed, and moved to reshape deltas, marshes, and beaches. Anthropogenic action now moves more sediment annually than ‘natural' geologic processes — yet this global reshaping of the earth's surface is rarely-discussed and poorly-understood.In four thematic text chapters, four geographic visual studies, and a concluding essay the authors demonstrate why sediment matters now more than ever, given our contemporary context of sea level rise, environmental change, and spatial inequality. They do this through a documentation of the geography of dredging and sediment on the four coasts of the continental United States. The book explores the many limitations of current sediment management practices, such as short-sighted efforts to keep dynamic ecosystems from changing, failure to value sediment as a resource, and inequitable decision-making processes. In response to these conditions, the authors delineate an approach to designing with sediment that is adaptive, healthy, and equitable. In this episode, the host asked about the authors' work with the DRC, which stands for the Dredge Research Collaborative, not the Dredge Research Collective. Learn more about your ad choices.

Umoja wa Mataifa unasema hali katika Kivu Kusini imezorota kwa kasi, huku msaada wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Mpango wa Chakula WFP ukisimama na shule zaidi ya 30 zikigeuzwa makazi ya dharura. Katika taarifa yake, Naibu Msemaji wa Umoja wa Mataifa, Farhan Haq, amesema hali imefikia kiwango cha hatari, akionya: “Familia zinazoishi kwa njaa sasa zinagawana chakula chao cha mwisho na watu waliokimbia makazi. Hii ni dharura inayovuka mipaka.” UN inazitaka pande zote kusitisha mapigano mara moja na kuruhusu misaada kufika kwa walio hatarini.Mkutano wa kikao cha 7 wa Baraza La Mazingira la Umoja wa Mataifa UNE-7 unaeelekea ukingoni jijini Nairobi Kenya na miongoni mwa washiriki ni kijana mwanaharakati wa mazingira kutoka asasi ya Umoja wa Mataifa YUNA nchini Tanzania Ally MwamzoraNa leo Umoja wa Mataifa unaadhimisha Siku ya Kimataifa ya Milima, ukisisitiza umuhimu wa milima kama “kitovu cha maji ya dunia.”  Kwa mujibu wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la chakula na kilimo FAO, takriban asilimia 70 ya maji safi ya Dunia yamehifadhiwa kama theluji au barafu, yakitoa mito inayosambaza maji ya kunywa, kilimo, viwanda, na umeme wa maji na takriban watu bilioni mbili, ikiwa ni pamoja na jamii nyingi za asili, wanategemea maji ya milima kwa mahitaji yao ya kila siku, maisha, na tamaduni zao.

Tommy and Ben explain how President Trump forfeited our advantage in the artificial intelligence race by allowing Nvidia to sell advanced AI chips to China, break down the new White House National Security Strategy document and debate whether it matters, and explain how fighting between Thailand and Cambodia and between the DRC and Rwanda has exposed Trump's “peacemaker” image as a sham. They also talk about the lack of progress on a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, the bizarre story of a fake coup in Guinea Bissau, an attempted coup in Benin, troubling reports from Yemen's civil war, and former British Prime Minister Liz Truss's hilariously bad podcast debut. Then Tommy speaks to Anika Wells, Australia's Minister for Communications and Sport, about the country's social media ban for kids under 16.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

The U.S. and the DR Congo signed a landmark deal on critical minerals during President Félix Tshisekedi's visit to the White House this week. The pact provides the U.S. with extraordinary access to the Congolese mining sector and is widely expected to inhibit Chinese mining companies in the DRC from expanding their operations. CGSP Africa Editor Géraud Neema joins Eric & Cobus to break down the details of the deal and explain why what happened in the DRC could set a dangerous precedent for Chinese mining operations in other African countries.

It's a £10-million-a-year badge on a legendary red shirt, but critics say it's a cover-up for a regime under fire. This episode rips the bandage off Arsenal's controversial partnership with Rwanda, investigating claims of "sportswashing" for a government accused of human rights abuses and fueling conflict in the DRC. We expose how this deal links North London to Stan Kroenke's American empire (LA Rams, LA Clippers) and ask the ultimate question: Is the club selling its soul for a spot on the global map, or is this a test of Arsenal's integrity? Arsenal FC Visit Rwanda sponsorship, football sportswashing examples, Stan Kroenke business empire, Paul Kagame human rights, Premier League ethical controversies.

Today's Headlines: Federal investigators finally arrested a suspect in the January 6th pipe bomb case — 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. — though AG Pam Bondi says they still don't know the motive and didn't get any new tips. Meanwhile, pardoned J6 defendant Taylor Taranto popped up near Rep. Jamie Raskin's house, prompting another bump in security during what's starting to feel like a never-ending wave of threats. The DOJ is also trying to re-indict Letitia James and James Comey after their earlier cases collapsed thanks to the administration forgetting you actually need legitimate prosecutors. A new grand jury declined to indict James on mortgage fraud, and the GAO has now opened an investigation into FHFA director Bill Pulte — the guy reportedly cooking up the bogus mortgage probes against Trump enemies. Trump declared he's solved war again, announcing “peace” between Rwanda and militant forces in the DRC… despite fighting still happening. Over in the real war he can't magically fix, Putin rejected the latest Ukraine peace draft after chats with Kushner & Witkoff. And according to a leaked call, European leaders warned Zelensky that the U.S. might screw Ukraine over in negotiations. At home, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that Texas can use its aggressively gerrymandered congressional map for 2026 — a huge boost to Republicans. In”people who won't go away” news, Mike Lindell is now running for governor of Minnesota. And finally, the NFL announced new uniform field-safety standards for all stadiums by 2028, presumably so players stop shredding their knees to enhance player safety.

To unpack how this covert defence partnership unfolded, what the whistleblower’s documents reveal, and what this means for oversight of South Africa’s arms exports, John Maytham is joined by Michael Marchant, Head of Investigations at Open Secrets — the organisation that broke this story after a three-week court gag order was lifted. Michael walks us through the findings and the troubling implications for accountability at home and abroad. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

SHOW 11-19-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1937 THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT JAPAN... FIRST HOUR 9-915 US Military Deployment near Venezuela and Geopolitical Conflicts Guest: Colonel Jeff McCausland Colonel Jeff McCausland discussed the large U.S. naval force, including the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier, deployed near Venezuela, suggesting this force, the largest in the Caribbean since the Cuban Missile Crisis, appears designed for regime change rather than just narcotics interdiction, with a resulting occupation requiring 60,000 to 100,000 troops and risks turning the U.S. into an occupying force dealing with narco-terrorism and sanctuary issues in countries like Colombia, while also noting Moscow's lack of genuine interest in negotiating an end to the conflict in Ukraine. 915-930 930-945 China's AI Strategy and Chip Self-Sufficiency Guest: Jack Burnham Jack Burnham discussed China's AI development, which prioritizes political control and self-sufficiency over immediate excellence, evidenced by the Chinese Cyberspace Administration banning large internet companies from purchasing high-end Nvidia processors, with the CCP aiming to build out its own domestic systems to insulate itself from potential U.S. leverage, while the Chinese DeepSeek AI model is considered a "good enough" open-source competitor due to its low cost, accessibility, and high quality in certain computations, despite some identified security issues. 945-1000 US Productivity vs. Chinese Manufacturing Dominance Guest: Dave Hebert Dave Hebert analyzed China's manufacturing dominance, which is fundamentally based on massive state subsidies (over $1 trillion annually) and a huge workforce of up to 212 million people, despite this scale, the U.S. workforce is vastly more productive per capita, supported by foreign investment, skilled immigration, and innovation, while China suffers from factory overcapacity due to subsidized production regardless of market demand, and he argued that U.S. tariffs harm domestic productivity by increasing the cost of raw materials and components for American manufacturers. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Japan's New PM and Existential Threat of Taiwan Conflict Guest: Lance Gatling Lance Gatling discussed Japan's new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, who has adopted a notably hawkish position towards China, stating that a blockade or threat against Taiwan could be interpreted as an existential threat to Japan, allowing the possibility of engaging in collective defense with allies like the U.S. or Philippines, and amid rising tensions and China's attempts to inflict economic damage, Takaichi is moving to accelerate the doubling of Japan's defense procurement budget, while the U.S. withdrawal of the mobile Typhoon missile system was criticized as strategically counterproductive during this critical moment. 1015-1030 The USS Gerald R. Ford and Gunboat Diplomacy in the Caribbean Guest: Rebecca Grant Rebecca Grant affirmed that the arrival of the USS Gerald R. Ford supercarrier in the Caribbean is the "top symbol of American power," providing significant strike and surveillance options, with the rapid deployment being unusual and signaling a large strategic shift to reassert U.S. interests in the Western Hemisphere, pressure Maduro, and push back against Chinese and Russian influence, and Grant agreed with China's label of the action as "gunboat diplomacy," noting that it is strategically effective in signaling America's seriousness about the region. 1030-1045 Canada-China Relations and Chinese Deception Guest: Charles Burton Charles Burton, author of The Beaver and the Dragon, discussed Canada's troubled relationship with China, criticizing the new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for adopting rhetoric favoring "pragmatic and constructive relations," suggesting Canada might ally with China's geostrategic goal of undermining U.S.-backed liberal democracies, with Carney's accelerated meetings with Xi Jinping possibly being attempts to secure market access or apply pressure on the U.S., while Burton noted concerns over the non-implementation of Canada's foreign agent registry despite issues like Chinese espionage and election interference. 1045-1100 THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Chinese Hybrid Warfare and Lawfare in the Solomon Islands Guest: Cleo Paskal Cleo Paskal detailed China's hybrid warfare in the Solomon Islands, focusing on Daniel Suidani, a former premier of Malaita who resisted Chinese influence by instituting a moratorium on CCP-linked businesses due to concerns over environmental and social harm, but after being politically ousted, he and his colleague were targeted with spurious "lawfare" charges (unlawful assembly) designed to demoralize and bankrupt them, with Suidani tragically dying of kidney failure after being denied use of a China-donated dialysis machine, while India-donated machines sat unused due to government stonewalling on training. 1115-1130 1130-1145 Space Exploration Updates (Blue Origin, SpaceX, China's space station, FAA regulations) Guest: Bob Zimmerman Bob Zimmerman provided several space updates, noting Blue Origin successfully launched and landed the New Glenn first stage, demonstrating sophisticated sideways landing software technology comparable to SpaceX, while SpaceX achieved its 150th launch this year, dominating the industry and surpassing the combined total of all other entities, with the FAA ending the daytime launch curfew that was previously implemented due to air traffic controller limitations, and furthermore, three Chinese taikonauts aboard Tiangong 3 are in an emergency, currently lacking a functional lifeboat capsule. 1145-1200 FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Commodities, AI Demand, and UK Political Turmoil Guest: Simon Constable Simon Constable reported on market trends with energy prices significantly down but metals like copper and steel consistently higher, reflecting strong demand particularly for AI data center construction, while future chocolate prices are projected to rise due to "transcontinental climate change" linking Amazon deforestation to political instability in major cocoa regions like the DRC, and in UK politics, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer faces constant internal revolts and distrust due to policy flip-flops, tax increases, and failure to solve the immigration problem. 1215-1230 1230-1245 1245-100 AM Comparing Chinese Engineers (Technocracy) and American Lawyers (Process) Guest: John Kitch John Kitch reviewed Dan Wang's book Breakneck, which contrasts China's engineer-dominated political leadership with America's lawyer-dominated system, noting China's engineers excel at executing large-scale plans and directing resources, fostering output, but their technocratic mindset struggles with complex human problems and leads to unintended consequences, while American lawyers establish effective regulations and protect civil liberties but often result in excessive process, compliance focus, and reduced economic dynamism, with Wang advocating for greater economic dynamism in the United States.

Commodities, AI Demand, and UK Political Turmoil Guest: Simon Constable Simon Constable reported on market trends with energy prices significantly down but metals like copper and steel consistently higher, reflecting strong demand particularly for AI data center construction, while future chocolate prices are projected to rise due to "transcontinental climate change" linking Amazon deforestation to political instability in major cocoa regions like the DRC, and in UK politics, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer faces constant internal revolts and distrust due to policy flip-flops, tax increases, and failure to solve the immigration problem. 1911 HAVANA.
