Egypt and Ethiopia, A Tale of Two Dams

Several fuel tankers were destroyed in Mali after al Qaeda-linked insurgents, who had declared a blockade on fuel imports to the country, attacked a convoy of more than 100 vehicles. That's according to local reports. A fuel supply blockade initiated by the militant group, JNIM, has been in place since early September. The militants had threatened fuel importers and drivers that they would be targeted while bringing products into the country. Mali's Prime Minister Maïga said, "the damage caused clearly demonstrates that armed groups in the area are desperate and have adopted a new operating method, causing panic in certain places." We hear analysis. Also, there's concern in Ethiopia after 92% of grade 12 students who sat national examinations, failed. It's the third year in a row for bad results in the country. Why are students failing? And who benefits from the continued growth of the Mandarin language on the continent?Presenter: Charles Gitonga Producers: Yvette Twagiramariya, Patricia Whitehorne and Makuochi Okafor Technical Producer: Jonathan Greer Senior Journalist: Karnie Sharp Editors: Andre Lombard, Maryam Abdalla, Samuel Murunga and Alice Muthengi

In this episode of China Decode, hosts Alice Han and James Kynge explore whether China's stock market rally marks the start of a true bull market—or just another round of state-driven froth. They then turn to Ethiopia's $5 billion Grand Renaissance Dam, built with Chinese expertise and financing, and ask what it reveals about Beijing's expanding influence in the Global South—and how tensions with Egypt could put that influence to the test. Finally, they look at the global rise of Labubu, the sharp-toothed plush toy embraced by celebrities from Rihanna to Naomi Osaka, and what this craze says about China's growing role as a cultural exporter.

Sometimes the most coolest moments in sport arrive by accident. When Julia Paternain crossed the finish line of the Tokyo World Championships marathon, she wasn't thinking about history and she wasn't even sure the race was over. Yet in that instant of disbelief, she had just given Uruguay its first-ever World Championships medal.In just her second marathon, the 25-year-old stunned the world with a fearless run, climbing from 15th place at halfway to finish third in 2:27:23 behind legends Tokyo Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir of Kenya and former world record holder Tigist Assefa of Ethiopia. For a runner once who was among the last ones qualified for the championships, the bronze was unthinkable — and unforgettable.Born in Mexico, raised in England, tested in the NCAA system in the U.S., and now calling Flagstaff home, Paternain carries a layered identity but an unwavering pride of all those places. And with her medal, a nation of three million found itself on the global podium for the very first time.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠⁠⁠Guest: Julia Paternain | @juliapaternain_ on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr |⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠____________PRESENTED BY ASICSFor the third consecutive year, CITIUS MAG is proud to partner with ASICS for our global championship coverage.

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve. . . .” — Mark 10:45 Last year I took a course with mission leaders from around the world. On the first day, we were asked this question: How would you describe the central, gospel message of the Bible? I spoke up with an answer that reflects my church tradition. A few others chimed in with their answers. After several people had spoken, a classmate from Ethiopia gave an answer that many of us did not expect. She said, “I think the story of the Bible centers on the story of God as a servant.” That got our attention. She went on to explain, “The Bible opens with God creating the world and caring for Adam and Eve. The rest of the Bible is the story of how God put into place a plan to serve the world through his Son, Jesus.” And then she pointed out this beautiful detail: “The Bible ends with a picture of the new Jerusalem, which we are told will not need the sun or moon because God provides the light” (Revelation 21:23). From the beginning into eternity, God serves the world and all who are in it. I had never heard the good news framed in that way, reflecting a different perspective and cultural context. If Jesus came not to be served but to serve, how does that affect the way we live each day? How should it affect the way we live? Servant God, I am humbled by your willingness to do whatever was necessary to rescue me. Help me in my life to be a reflection of your self-giving heart. Amen.

Founded by Meseret Warner, Ignite Investment has taken on the ambitious task of enabling equity crowdfunding in Ethiopia, a country where capital markets had been almost non-existent until recently. In today's episode, Meseret shared how her platform is connecting Ethiopia's burgeoning entrepreneurs with the African diaspora to overcome geographic and financial barriers.“Ethiopia never had capital markets in the country,” Meseret explained. “But now we have a new proclamation in 2021... and equity investment crowdfunding is one of them.” This regulatory breakthrough has allowed Ignite Investment to operate in Ethiopia under a sandbox model, enabling the platform to test innovative financial systems while adhering to local laws.What makes Ignite Investment's approach unique is its focus on the African diaspora. Every year, billions of dollars flow from the diaspora back to the African continent, primarily as remittances. Meseret has created a mechanism to transform these funds into equity investments that support Ethiopian entrepreneurs. “Our target market is the African diaspora that sends billions and billions of dollars… as remittances and even investment,” she said.One of Ignite's recent successes is a rideshare company addressing the transportation challenges in Addis Ababa. This venture, which connects commuters with a network of minibus drivers through an Uber-like system, has nearly closed its fundraising round thanks to Ignite's platform. Meseret revealed, “They could have been oversubscribed because there are a lot more people interested to see them.”This is no small feat. Meseret's persistence has helped Ignite Investment craft partnerships with organizations like Zemen Bank and the African Development Bank, facilitating cross-border investments and providing vital financial infrastructure. Her team's partnership with GIZ, the German development agency, also helps local companies become more attractive to investors by improving transparency and governance.Ignite Investment is more than just a crowdfunding platform; it is a bridge between Ethiopia's untapped innovation and the global capital it needs to thrive. Meseret's vision extends beyond her home country, with plans to expand into other African nations.For investors in the diaspora and beyond, Ignite Investment offers an unprecedented opportunity to support impactful businesses while earning financial returns. Meseret's work is a testament to the power of persistence, innovation, and a belief in the potential of African entrepreneurs.tl;dr:Ethiopia's regulatory progress enabled Ignite Investment to launch equity crowdfunding under a sandbox model.Meseret Warner connects diaspora wealth with Ethiopian entrepreneurs, fostering impactful investments across borders.Ignite's partnerships with Zemen Bank, GIZ, and the African Development Bank strengthen its financial infrastructure.A rideshare company solving Addis Ababa's transportation issues exemplifies Ignite's successful ventures.Meseret's persistence has been key to overcoming challenges and scaling Ignite Investment's mission to other African nations.How to Develop Persistence As a SuperpowerMeseret defines her superpower as persistence, a trait she's relied on during her 11-year journey to build Ignite Investment. She shared that overcoming regulatory hurdles and scaling an innovative platform in Ethiopia required unwavering determination. “Every year, I tell my husband, next year is my year… and then, of course, it doesn't happen. But I always see the light at the end of the tunnel,” she said. Persistence, combined with resourcefulness and partnerships, has been key to her success.Meseret recounted how her persistence helped her navigate Ethiopia's regulatory bottlenecks to establish equity crowdfunding. Ethiopia lacked a formal capital market, but Meseret engaged with regulators, participated in public consultations, and leveraged partnerships to secure a spot in the regulatory sandbox. After six years of groundwork, Ignite Investment is now operational, connecting diaspora investors with local entrepreneurs.Tips for Developing Persistence:Focus on the Big Picture: Identify a solution you believe in and let it guide your actions.Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledge progress, even if it's incremental, to maintain motivation.Step Back Strategically: When facing challenges, reassess your approach and look for alternative solutions.Leverage Partnerships: Collaborate with individuals and organizations to solve specific challenges.Stay Resourceful: Continuously tap into your network to find answers and support.By following Meseret's example and advice, you can make persistence a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

This week, we were at the Africa Climate Summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, closely following the stories that matter most to the global development community. From forging a unified voice ahead of the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference to how carbon markets could transform climate action on the continent, we discuss the key takeaways from the conference. In the United States, we continue to follow a key lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's foreign aid spending — or lack thereof. The case, which is a test of the executive branch's power over government spending, is now headed to the Supreme Court. The administration asked the highest court to intervene after a lower court compelled it to spend foreign assistance funds that Congress had already appropriated. We take a look at where the case stands and what might happen next.  To dig into these stories and others, Senior Reporter Adva Saldinger sits down with Managing Editor Anna Gawel and Global Development Reporter Ayenat Mersie for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series.  Sign up for Devex Newswire and our other newsletters: https://www.devex.com/account/newsletters

It's Tuesday, September 9th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian Muslims kill and injure Christian farmers On August 27th, when five Nigerian Christians went to check on their farms  located in Bauchi State, they found Fulani Muslim herdsmen grazing their cattle on the land owned by the Christians.  The argument led to the Muslims killing a Christian farmer and wounding three others, reports Morning Star News. Rev. Samson Habila, local chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, said, “We solicit that we all go on our knees for prayers to our loving God to bring this conflict to a swift end for the betterment of our land and people.” In a separate incident on the same day, Muslim herdsmen assaulted two Christian women and a teenager who were on their way back from their farm. Naomi Sabo, was cut on her hand with a machete, her teenage son was cut with a machete, and a third victim, another Christian woman, had her ear cut off by the Muslims. In a span of two weeks in late August, hundreds of Nigerian Christian farmers lost their crops to Muslim Fulani herdsmen who took their cattle to graze on them. According to Open Doors' 2025 World Watch List, Nigeria is the 7th most dangerous country on Earth for Christians. Of the 4,476 Christians killed for their faith worldwide during the reporting period, 3,100 of those Christians -- or 69% -- lived in Nigeria. Russia launched 800 drones against Ukraine Russia has stepped up its drone attacks on Ukraine, in its largest salvo since the beginning of the war, reports KGOU Radio. The aggressor launched 800 drones over the weekend — hitting the government building in Kyiv for the first time. Japanese Prime Minister resigns Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has announced his resignation.   Japan's economy is still hurting. The nation's real Gross Domestic Product is just now recovering to 2019 levels, after an extended 5-year recession. Japan's national debt is the highest in the world, at 255% of GDP.   The Japanese government's proposed budget for 2026 represents another 8% increase, year over year.  Indeed, 27% of the budget is set aside just to service the nation's debt. G7 vs BRICS The Group of 7 or “G7” nations includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.  BRICS is now recognized as the competing force opposing the G7 nations. BRICS includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates. In a BRICS summit, spearheaded by Brazil's socialist president, Luiz Lula, the mostly southern and eastern world powers worked on what they called “joint responses to tariffs and sanctions under the Trump administration and discussions on a multipolar world order.” Thousands of Brazilian protestors object to trial of Jair Bolsonaro Tens of thousands of Brazilians have taken the streets over in the last week, protesting the trial of Brazil's former president, Jair Bolsonaro, reports the Associated Press. He is facing 46 years in prison for allegedly supporting an attempt to overturn the 2022 election. Plus, Bolsonaro's opponents also claim that he encouraged a protest on January 8, 2023 that resulted in several millions of dollars of damage to the capital building. Brazil's Supreme Court is expecting to sentence the former president later this week. Bolsonaro was a pro-life president, and opposed homosexual marriage for his country. The current president, Luiz Lula, has committed himself to the pro-abortion and LGBTQ agenda for the nation since his election in 2022. 47% of Brazilians receive welfare In a related story, 47% of Brazilians receive a welfare check from the government. The most welfare dependent states are in the north and northeast of the country. These twelve states record more welfare recipients than jobs among their residents. The socialist candidate in the last election, Lula de Silva, won 10 out of 12 of these states. He only won the votes with three other states in the election. God is sovereign over all. Jesus told Pontius Pilate, “You would have no authority over Me at all unless it had been given you from above.” Company that profits from porn fined $5 million The Canadian company Aylo has been fined $5 million by the US Federal Trade Commission for portraying certain egregious forms of sexual sin on its websites (which include PornHub).   This amounts to a slap on the wrist for a company operating on an estimated $700 million of annual income. That's about 0.7%. The Federal Trade Commission has charged the company with allowing non-consensual and child-abuse related material on its websites. Democrats blocking all Trump's civilian nominees The U.S. government has come to loggerheads. Thus far, not a single Trump civilian nominee has been confirmed by a voice vote through the US Senate — due to Democrat filibusters. That's the first time this has occurred in the nation's government in a century. That compares to 65% of Trump's nominees clearing the Senate by voice vote in his first term and 57% of Joe Biden's nominees confirmed by voice vote.   GOP Senate Majority Leader John Thune is considering pulling the nuclear option, or a rule change, to speed up the approval process, according to the Daily Caller. Few Americans, Christians included, believe we are sinful American Christians are pretty much agreed on this statement: “Sin is real, but people are basically good at heart.” That according to the latest George Barna survey. The pollsters discovered that 82% of Catholics and 70% of self-identified born-again Christians believe in “The basic goodness of humanity.” And only 57% of Catholics and 85% of self-identified born again Christians believe Romans 3:23 — that “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”  Meryl Streep to voice Aslan in new “Chronicles of Narnia” And finally, Netflix plans to release the next movie installment of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia story in November of 2026. Filming began last month which included a well-publicized street chase of Jadis, “the White Witch” last weekend. Brace yourself. Greta Gerwig, best known for directing the feminist hit film “Barbie” released in 2023, is directing this next Narnia release. Not surprisingly, Meryl Streep is slated to voice Aslan.  (The character of Aslan, Lewis's Lion, is meant as a personification of Jesus Christ). Movieguide, the Christian ministry led by founder Ted Baehr, calls this “a dangerous cultural shift,” and has initiated a petition to "respect the theological foundation of the story.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, September 9th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

President Xi Jinping has called on the BRICS countries to jointly defend multilateralism and the multilateral trading system and advance greater BRICS cooperation, as trade and tariff wars waged by a certain country severely disrupt the world economy and undermine international trade rules.Xi made the remarks while participating in a virtual BRICS Summit from Beijing on Monday. He was joined by other leaders including Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Russian President Vladimir Putin and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, as well as leaders from Egypt, Iran, Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates, and representatives from India and Ethiopia.Xi described BRICS countries as the forefront of the Global South amid rampant hegemonism, unilateralism and protectionism, saying that this is a critical juncture for them to act on the BRICS Spirit of openness, inclusiveness and win-win cooperation.Originally comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, BRICS has developed into a group of 11 full member countries and 10 partner countries.The BRICS cooperation mechanism is now considered to be an important platform for solidarity and cooperation among emerging markets and developing countries.Xi called for upholding multilateralism to defend international fairness and justice."History tells us that multilateralism is the shared aspiration of the people and the overarching trend of our times. It provides an important underpinning for world peace and development," he said, noting that the Global Governance Initiative that he recently proposed is aimed at galvanizing joint global action for a more just and equitable global governance system."We should follow the principle of extensive consultation and joint contribution for shared benefit, and safeguard the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law, so as to cement the foundations of multilateralism," Xi said.He also called for efforts to actively promote greater democracy in international relations and increase the representation and voice of Global South countries."We should improve the global governance system through reform so as to fully mobilize resources from all quarters and tackle more effectively the common challenges for humanity," Xi said.Noting that economic globalization is an irresistible trend of history, Xi stressed the need to uphold openness and win-win cooperation to safeguard the international economic and trade order.Countries cannot thrive without an international environment of open cooperation, and no country can afford to retreat into self-imposed isolation, he said."No matter how the international landscape may evolve, we must stay committed to building an open global economy, so as to share opportunities and achieve win-win outcomes in openness," Xi said, calling for efforts to oppose all forms of protectionism."We should promote a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, place development at the heart of our international agenda, and ensure that Global South countries participate in international cooperation as equals and share in the fruits of development," he said.The Chinese president also emphasized the importance of BRICS countries managing their own affairs well in order to cope with external challenges.Accounting for nearly half of the world's population, around 30 percent of global economic output and one-fifth of global trade, the BRICS countries are also home to major natural resources, big manufacturers and vast markets, Xi said."The more closely we work together, the more resilient, resourceful and effective we are in addressing external risks and challenges," he said, expressing China's readiness to work with fellow BRICS countries to implement the Global Development Initiative and advance high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.He also encouraged BRICS countries to leverage their respective strengths, deepen practical cooperation and produce more outcomes in such areas as trade and the economy, finance, science and technology, in order to deliver more practical benefits to their peoples.

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?

At that time, the discussion was focused on the forces driving the coffee crisis and the expectations of the year ahead in coffee.Now, as we head towards the final quarter of 2025, we revisit the topics we discussed in our last series, examining the realities of the state of the coffee supply chain and the status of the coffee crisis.

They delve into how East Africa and Colombia diverged from market expectations, the effects of government-set prices in Ethiopia, and the rapid consumption of East African coffee inventories. They also touch on the growing need for multilingual support in the coffee industry podcast and announce exciting changes coming to Map It Forward in 2026, including the introduction of advertisements.

Society had written him off - unseen, dismissed, with nothing to give. Andrew had a choice: engage or ignore. That moment not only reshaped Andrew's life but continues to echo with meaning today.In this episode, Andrew and I talk about his new book, Reviving the Golden Rule, and why Jesus' familiar words - “Love your neighbor as yourself” - are still the most radical invitation we can accept. Together we explore why we've grown numb to its power, how neighbor-love has shaped human rights movements, and why seeing our neighbors again could change everything.Listen in and ask yourself: Who have I overlooked, and what might change if I choose to love them as a neighbor?  https://www.amazon.com/Reviving-Golden-Rule-Ancient-Neighbor/dp/1514012766

Your Nightly Prayer

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we sit down with Michael Herbert—recovery coach, interventionist, and addiction counselor with over 35 years of experience—to explore the journey from substance addiction to a purpose-driven life. Michael shares raw insights on why recovery is more than just quitting—it's about crafting a life that's meaningful. From running 137 miles through the Sahara to building schools in Ethiopia, his story proves that healing can be powerful, bold, and deeply personal. Whether you're in recovery, supporting a loved one, or seeking inspiration to make real change, this episode offers practical wisdom and motivation. This conversation is a must-listen for those navigating addiction, mental health, self-discovery, or seeking a deeper purpose. Perfect for audiences on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn looking for real stories of transformation and grit. About the GuestMichael Herbert is a seasoned addiction counselor, interventionist, and author of the upcoming book The Recovery Roadmap: A Guide to Freedom and Adventure (releasing September 2). With a career spanning correctional facilities to private coaching, Michael has helped countless individuals and families heal. His philosophy? Recovery isn't just abstinence—it's building a life you love. Key Takeaways Recovery starts with abstinence but doesn't end there—it's about discovering who you are without substances. The first 9 months of sobriety are a phase of discovery, not recovery. Recovery isn't one-size-fits-all: fitness, travel, yoga, journaling, and service work are part of Michael's toolkit—but you must find what works for you. Michael ran 137 miles across the Sahara Desert in Tevas, proving the power of mindset in pushing beyond limits. He encourages reframing success through spiritual flexibility, openness, and inner growth rather than external achievement. Relapse prevention starts with structure, self-trust, and community—don't go it alone. True change comes when we take radical responsibility for our own healing journey and prepare ourselves mentally, physically, and spiritually for life's opportunities.   Connect with the Guest Instagram / LinkedIn / Facebook: Michael Herbert Email: coachmichaelherbert@gmail.com Website: africanhopefulhorizons.org Book Release: The Recovery Roadmap - Launching September 2 Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PodMatch:DM Me Here:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST Tune to all our 19 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind OUR SERVICES Business Podcast Management: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/corporatepodcasting/ Individual Podcast Management: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/Podcasting/ Share Your Story With the World: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/shareyourstory STAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US Medium: https://medium.com/@contentbyavik YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@healthymindbyavik Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymind LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthymindbyavik LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/podhealthclub Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/Avikpodhealth/ SHARE YOUR REVIEW Google Review: https://www.podpage.com/bizblend/reviews/new/ Video Testimonial (featured on website): https://famewall.healthymindbyavik.com/ Tags #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #MentalHealthAwareness #AddictionRecovery #SoberLiving #MindfulnessMatters #StorytellingAsMedicine #PodcastLife #PersonalDevelopment #ConsciousLiving #GrowthMindset #mentalhealth #wellness #traumahealing #healingjourney #fyp #foryoupage #youtube #spotify #motivation #inspiration #podcastinglife #fitnessandhealing #MichaelHerbert #RecoveryRoadmap #adventuretherapy #ultramarathon #SaharaRun #sobrietyjourney #spiritualgrowth #healingtools

The head of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, fears that any intervention by US president Donald Trump's administration into the Federal Reserve could have wider implications and be a global economic risk. We hear from Dr Yu Jie, of Chatham House, on the significance of today's summit between China, India and Russia, as well as what a new development bank could look like. Elsewhere, Ed Butler discusses Trump's claims that Ethiopia's showpiece hydro-project, formally inaugurated this month, has actually been financed with American money. But the east African country say that's nonsense. And why a tiny Caribbean island is cashing in on its internet web name. The latest business and finance news from around the world, on the BBC.

He is also called Moses the Black. He was a slave, but was cast out by his master due to his evil life. He then became the leader of a murderous band of robbers in Egypt. He came to repentance and took up monastic life in the desert under St Isidore of Sketis. For many years he struggled tirelessly, through prayer, fasting and vigils, with lustful and violent thoughts; he was finally freed of them through the prayers of St Isidore. He was revered by all the brethren for his ascetical life, his wisdom, and his deep humility. Once a brother committed some sin and the monks gathered to judge him. Moses at first refused to go at all, but when they insisted, he filled an old, leaky basket with sand and carried it into the assembly on his back. When the brethren asked him what his action meant, he said "My sins run out behind me, and I do not even see them, and I have come to judge my brother." The monk was forgiven. In time the fame of this humblest of monks spread so far that kings and bishops traveled into the desert to seek his wisdom and his blessing. In his old age, he was warned that a band of brigands was coming to attack the Skete. He refused to leave saying, "It is written: he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword." So, mindful that he had slain others by the sword, he willingly awaited his own murder. Six other monks who remained with him were also slain.

Matthew Ford, Associate Professor at Swedish Defence University and author of “War in the Smartphone Age: Conflict, Connectivity, and the Crises at Our Fingertips,” joins Lawfare's Justin Sherman to discuss the role of smartphones and related technologies in war, how social media contributes to a collapse of context in the war content we see online, and how smartphones and other devices are reshaping open-source intelligence (OSINT) and open-source investigations (OSINV) vis-a-vis conflicts and violence from Syria to Ethiopia to Ukraine. They also discuss the tech stack in war, how the military “kill chain” is evolving with ever-greater digital connectivity, the current state and future of “participatory warfare,” and how we can become better consumers—and sharers—of war-related content online.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
