Podcast appearances and mentions of farida nabourema

Casey and Elisha are joined by Togolese human rights activist Farida Nabourema to talk about her life growing up under the Gnassingbé dictatorships — Togo has been under single-family autocracy for more than 50 years — and the country's rampant crookedness. She also talks about how Bitcoin and blockchain offer solutions to Africa's longstanding issues with corruption and lack of trust in traditional financial institutions and how Bitcoin can offer a more transparent alternative.

Einsteigerfreundlich drei wichtige Grundlagen von Bitcoin aufgearbeitet, indem wir Stimmen auf dem PlanB Forum in Lugano eingefangen haben. Wir erklären den Unterschied zwischen Seltenheit und Begrenztheit und warum mit Bitcoin digitale Knappheit für immer im Code verankert ist. Wir erklären, auf welche Weise Bitcoin zensiert wird, aber gleichzeitig gegen Zensur wirkt, warum Bitcoin keinen Zins abwirft und warum Bitcoin nicht konfisziert werden kann. Warum hat die Einführung von CBDCs in Nigeria und gleichzeitiges Bargeldverbot den Preis von Bitcoin dort durch die Decke geschossen.

Nachdem wir die Konferenz PlanB Forum in Lugano besuchen durften, die Stimmung dort aufgesagt und Stimmen aus dem globalen Süden eingefangen haben, besprechen wir mit Tobi, warum es auch als Privatperson Sinn ergibt, Konferenzen zu besuchen. Denn Konferenzen wie in Lugano machen Bitcoin sichtbarer und treiben die Adaption voran.

Today we are joined by Farida Nabourema, citizen of Togo and human rights and pro-democracy activist. We discuss the history of Togo, authoritarian regimes, the CFA Franc colonial currency used in Togo and other African states, the human rights movement, bitcoin, activism, women's rights, and more. Farida has been one of my favorite guests, because through her advocacy, work, and brilliance in speaking and writing, she is showing the world the importance of resistance and pro-democracy movements, and the importance of technology like bitcoin as an alternative to the present currency that is used to fund citizens' repression.     Learn more about Farida and her work at https://nabourema.com/ Learn more about and support the Africa Bitcoin Conference: https://www.afrobitcoin.org/    Farida Nabourema:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/Farida_N    Trey Walsh Nostr: Trey@theprogressivebitcoiner.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/ktreywalsh     SPONSOR: BitBox: Use promo-code TPB during checkout to get 5% off your purchase: https://bitbox.swiss/tpb  Sazmining: Get $50 off the purchase of a miner using the following link: https://app.sazmining.com/purchase?ref=tpb   Sazmining is a Hosted Bitcoin Mining provider with a commitment to using 100% renewable energy for your mining operation.  A Progressive's Case for Bitcoin: Get a copy of Jason Maier's book “A Progressive's Case for Bitcoin” here, https://bit.ly/3XuEcyV, using promo code TPB for 10% off the book.   TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 Start 00:06:20 Frida's Background   00:09:10 Colonial Pact in Togo 00:12:28 Military Regime History 00:15:30 Political Repression   00:18:30 Resource Exploitation 00:21:22 Restrictions from Colonial Pacts    00:24:41 Struggle for Justice 00:27:24 Bitcoin as a Lifeline 00:29:37 Education on Bitcoin 00:32:53 Evangelizing Bitcoin 00:35:47 Bitcoin Use in Togo 00:40:29 Bitcoin Energy Use 00:43:54 Unbanked Populations 00:47:05 Politicians and Bitcoin 00:51:30 Renewable Energy  00:56:14 Bitcoin for Farmers 01:00:08 Who Needs Bitcoin? 01:03:19 Bitcoin for Activists 01:07:51 Stable Economies and Bitcoin 01:10:06 Necessity Drives Adoption 01:12:50 Diverse Bitcoin Communities 01:15:59 Bitcoin for Women  SUBSCRIBE Website: https://zurl.co/z6c8 Libsyn: https://zurl.co/Bkw2 Apple Podcasts: https://zurl.co/WPZg     Spotify: https://zurl.co/Y41f     Amazon: https://zurl.co/io24     Fountain: https://zurl.co/c7bl     RSS: https://zurl.co/wHWC     Youtube: https://zurl.co/VT9p      FOLLOW & SUPPORT Nostr: https://zurl.co/q7qB     Bluesky: https://zurl.co/0w35    Twitter: https://zurl.co/k1ay     Instagram: https://zurl.co/rYZW     Threads: https://zurl.co/KcMx     Facebook: https://zurl.co/Zekf     LinkedIn: https://zurl.co/SGY2       Send Some Sats: https://geyser.fund/project/theprogressivebitcoiner

Much of France's African empire fell away during decolonization, but 15 nations still use the CFA Franc and thus remain under its control. France has historically devalued the CFA Franc to buy cheaper goods at the expense of the 183 million Africans in the CFA zone. In this episode, recorded at the 2023 South by Southwest (SXSW) conference, participants discuss their battle against monetary colonialism and how Bitcoin can play a role in helping change the tide. Farida Nabourema, Togolese democracy advocate Magatte Wade, Senegalese entrepreneur

“There is this legitimate fear against the reaction of the government because they are convinced the regime will crush you and they have succeeded at doing that in the past. Maybe it comes from a position of love but I also feel like it comes a lot from a position of lack of courage and a position of cowardice”, says Farida Nabourema in this week's #Forum2000online Chat. Ms. Nabourema, Executive Director of the Togolese Civil League, Togo, joined Hasler Iglesias, a Venezuelan activist and a member of the Forum 2000 ICDR, to talk about oppression and the dangerous consequences of silence. According to Farida Nabourema and her personal experience, you will learn that:

This episode's guest is Farida Nabourema, a social activist and writer, who since being a teenager, has been a fearless advocate for democracy and human rights in her native Togo. We met Farida recently at the Oslo Freedom Forum in Norway and were intrigued by her story, her work, and the ways in which she's been educating her followers and community about the benefits of Bitcoin. This conversation was not only illuminating with regards to the nature and degree of oppression in Togo (and elsewhere), but it also left us incredibly impressed by the courage, conviction, and wisdom of this young woman, and grateful for her work in the cause for freedom. --- Follow Farida: Twitter: @Farida_N Website: nabourema.com Follow John & Seetee: Twitter: @johnkvallis & @Seetee_io Website: seetee.io Use Podcasting 2.0: Breez.Technology Fountain.FM NewPodcastingApps.com Value4Value.io

Togo is a West African country, of about 8 million. Since 1967, it has been ruled by two dictators, father and son. An outstanding—and outstandingly brave—opposition leader is Farida Nabourema. Jay wrote about this young woman in 2018: “Daughter of Togo.” He also did a “Q&A” with her. She is back, now, with the latest: the latest about her country. Although her remarks are specifically about Togo... Source

We're joined by Farida Nabourema, a Togolese human rights activist, writer and Pan-Africanist who has fought for democracy in her country since her teenage years. Farida founded the "Faure Must Go" movement in 2011, where she organised Togolese youths to stand against the dictatorial regime of the Gnassingbés. The movement captures the civil resistance movement in Togo, of which Nabourema is one of the most well-known leaders. In 2014 she published her book La Pression de l'Oppression, encouraging resistance from those who are oppressed. In 2018, Time Magazine listed Farida as one of the Four Crusaders Keeping the Dream of Democracy Alive and in 2021, Apolitical named her among the 100 Most Influential People in Gender Policy. In this episode we discuss Farida's lived experience under the Gnassingbé regime, the changing face of social media as a tool for activism and the West's oppressive policies within the African continent.

"I was actually greatly surprised and shocked that the majority of the world, even of the countries surrounding Togo, have no idea that Togo is run by the oldest military regime in Africa." Farida Nabourema is a human rights activist from Togo. In 2019 she was listed as one of the Most Influential African Women.  "The only way that I came to cope with the decision of me leaving Togo was that I saw it as an opportunity for me to raise awareness on the ongoing dictatorship," she says.

Interviewer: AUDREY JAQUISS. The 43rd Governor of Florida and presidential candidate JEB BUSH is currently a Penn Presidential Professor of Practice affiliated with the Mitchell Center, and we appreciate his engagement with our programs: debating students on immigration policy at the Penn Political Union, joining Togolese activist Farida Nabourema for a discussion on authoritarian rule for our “Democracy in Trouble?” Series, and now sitting down with political theorist Audrey Jaquiss for a discussion of our political moment. In topics ranging from climate change, immigration, the labor movement, and political polarization, Governor Bush speaks in terms that are recognizably conservative — and Republican, in the traditional sense — but which are, in their temperate tone and willingness to grapple with complicated facts, increasingly unfamiliar in today’s combative, Twitter-fueled political environment.

In Togo, protests are gathering steam against the 50-year rule of the Gnassingbé family. In this episode, Farida Nabourema, a blogger and human rights activist who has been a fearless critic of corruption, dictatorship and colonialism, tells Iyad and Ahmed about the Fauré Must Go movement. We may call this the Arab Tyrant Manual, but that certainly doesn't limit it to Arabs as this episode shows. Follow Farida on Twitter @Farida_N, and find us there too - @gatnash and @iyad_elbaghdadi.

Farida Nabourema a dédié sa vie au combat contre le régime militaire au Togo, l'autocratie la plus ancienne d'Afrique. Elle a appris deux vérités en cours de route : aucun pays n'est condamné à être opprimé et aucun pays n'est immunisé contre la dictature.

Togo is a little country in West Africa, wedged between Ghana and Benin. For more than 50 years, it has been ruled by two dictators, father and son, one after the other — as in Syria and elsewhere, as Jay points out. This regime is opposed by a remarkable young woman named Farida Nabourema, who is Jay's guest. Wait'll you hear her story, her thoughts, and her spirit. You could almost feel sorry... Source

Farida Nabourema spoke from an undisclosed location in West Africa, out of fear for her personal safety. Farida is a prominent Togolese activist and these are very tense times in Togo. Several people were killed in protests in recent months amid a growing opposition movement that is calling for the re-instatement of presidential term limits. These term limits are guaranteed under the Togolese constitution, but nonetheless are being ignored by the regime.   Togo is a small country in west Africa, with a population of about 7.5 million people. It has been ruled for the last 50 years by the same family. Eyadéma Gnassingbé came to power in 1967 and ruled until his death in 2005, whereupon his son, Faure Gnassingbé became president. Faure is ruling to this day and is seeking to undertake some moves of dubious constitutionality that could extend his rule far into the future.    It is in this volatile political environment that Farida is engaging her activism and supporting a movement to enforce president term limits and a return to democracy.    We have a very interesting conversation, not only about Togo, but also about the role of anger in sustaining an opposition movement and also the strategic value of non-violence.  We also discuss how she became an activist, which you will learn was something she very much grew up with.     Become a premium subscriber to unlock bonus episodes, earn other rewards, and support the show!
