Dream the Size of Freedom: How African Liberation Mobilized New Left Internationalism (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2025) by Dr. R. Joseph Parrott explores how anti-colonial movements in Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau reshaped US activist engagement with the Global South from the 1960s through the 1970s and influenced American foreign policy as the Vietnam War drew to a close. These Portuguese African liberation movements, led by nationalists like Eduardo Mondlane and Amílcar Cabral, built global solidarity networks to support their military and social challenges to empire while defending against Western intervention. US activists disillusioned with the Cold War came to see African self-determination as central to global campaigns for racial and economic justice. A broad coalition ranging from Black Power radicals to religious liberals mobilized against the North Atlantic alliance with Portugal. In the process, this grassroots movement helped define a New Left Internationalism that championed decentralized, multiracial organizing and a collaborative vision of US foreign policy to redress historic inequalities between Global North and South. Drawing on more than fifty oral histories and research in government and activist archives on three continents in English, Portuguese, French, and Afrikaans, Dr. Parrott reconstructs the transnational anti-imperial network that injected Global South priorities into US political debates. Popular protests and informational campaigns led to collaborations with legislators eager to constrain the powerful executive branch. In 1976, this grassroots-legislative alliance halted Gerald Ford's anti-communist intervention against the Soviet-backed government of newly independent Angola. This victory of New Left Internationalist ideas anticipated future anti-apartheid and Latin American peace movements while also fueling a conservative revival of Cold War containment. By exploring US engagement with the contested process of African decolonization, Dream the Size of Freedom highlights the origins of two contrasting visions of American foreign policy that defined debates over the country's proper role in the Global South into the 1990s. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

A reeleição de Carlos Vila Nova à primeira volta, com 55,94%, representa mais do que a continuidade na Presidência de São Tomé e Príncipe. Para o analista Olívio Diogo, o resultado traduz uma derrota política de Patrício Trovoada, fragiliza a liderança do ADI e abre caminho para uma reconfiguração do panorama partidário, num contexto marcado pela elevada abstenção e pelo desafio de restaurar a confiança nas instituições. RFI: Que leitura faz desta vitória de Carlos Vila Nova e do significado político deste resultado? Olívio Diogo: É preciso dizer que a primeira coisa de que se fala, quando se comenta esta eleição presidencial, é dar um grande parabéns ao povo são-tomense. O povo são-tomense mostrou, mais uma vez, de forma inequívoca, que é uma população que, apesar das dificuldades que enfrenta, é muito pacífica na forma como encara os resultados eleitorais. Foi, como disse e como manifestou a comunidade internacional, uma eleição que decorreu de forma transparente, livre e completamente pacífica. Este é o primeiro aspecto que devemos retirar destes resultados eleitorais. Este resultado revela claramente que o Presidente Carlos Vila Nova não foi avaliado eleitoralmente pelo seu mandato. O que aconteceu foi, sim, uma manifestação clara contra o antigo primeiro-ministro Patrício Trovoada, que indicou Nito d'Abreu como o seu candidato. A população disse claramente não a esse candidato. Disse claramente não à atitude e à posição de Patrício Trovoada em relação ao partido e ao país, nomeadamente ao seu constante afastamento do país e ao discurso que tem vindo a fazer. A população aproveitou esta eleição para manifestar o seu descontentamento relativamente a essa situação. Esta é uma derrota para o antigo primeiro-ministro Patrício Trovoada? Exactamente. Esta é uma derrota clara e inequívoca para Patrício Trovoada. A população que foi às urnas foi dizer-lhe claramente que esta é uma derrota política para ele. Nito d'Abreu é um candidato que não é do ADI, mas sim um candidato pessoal de Patrício Trovoada. Foi ele quem o indicou, sem consultar o partido, sem ouvir os órgãos competentes e sem permitir que o partido pudesse avaliar essa candidatura. Foi uma aposta exclusivamente sua e essa aposta saiu derrotada. Consequentemente, esta foi também uma derrota clara para Patrício Trovoada nestas eleições. O apoio de Patrício Trovoada a Nito d'Abreu pesou na derrota do candidato da ADI, o partido sai politicamente fragilizado? O partido sai muito fragilizado destas eleições. E a actual direcção do partido sai completamente fragilizada. É preciso dizer que este resultado vem reforçar a posição de Américo Ramos, que tem vindo a desenvolver todas as acções necessárias para assumir a direcção do partido. Ele sai bastante reforçado. Com este resultado eleitoral, Américo Ramos passa a ter todas as condições para assumir a liderança do partido, porque não acredito que o ADI continue a aceitar uma governação feita a partir do exterior, como Patrício Trovoada tem feito até agora. Ele encontra-se fora do país e continua a dirigir o partido. Isto não pode continuar. O partido não tem sustentabilidade nestas condições. É assim que estas eleições ficam marcadas: Carlos Vila Nova conquista um novo mandato e, simultaneamente, o ADI, sob a liderança de Patrício Trovoada, sai mais fragilizado. Penso que chegou o momento de as pessoas dizerem claramente que o ADI precisa de uma nova direcção, de uma nova liderança, de uma nova perspectiva e de uma nova metodologia de trabalho para o futuro. Será que, até Setembro, às próximas eleições, o ADI tem tempo para repensar e até mesmo reestruturar o partido? Não, essa reestruturação já tem vindo a ser desencadeada. É preciso perceber uma coisa: o Patrício Trovoada continua a ser presidente do partido, mas não está no país. Ele não foi obrigado a sair nem pediu asilo político; saiu por sua livre vontade. Ainda assim, pretende continuar a conduzir o partido para as eleições a partir do exterior. Neste momento, o presidente do partido praticamente abandonou a sua presença no país, continuando, no entanto, a dirigir o ADI a partir de fora. Esta forma de governação do partido, que considero uma situação de ingovernabilidade, leva naturalmente a um reajuste da estrutura partidária e da própria liderança. É preciso dizer também que muitos militantes do ADI que apoiavam Patrício Trovoada sentiram-se lesados pelo facto de ele ter escolhido Nito d'Abreu, uma personalidade sem trajectória política relevante e sem experiência significativa na administração pública, para candidato à Presidência da República. Esse factor também contribuiu para que este resultado eleitoral se verificasse.  É preciso também falar da questão da abstenção. Temos de ser muito claros relativamente a esse aspecto. Há dois ou três fatores que podem explicar a elevada abstenção nestas eleições; O primeiro tem naturalmente a ver com a imigração. Muitas pessoas que emigraram continuam inscritas nos cadernos eleitorais. Como sabe, esta foi a primeira eleição em que não houve um processo tradicional de inscrição eleitoral. A actualização foi feita automaticamente com base nos dados do registo civil. Assim, todos os cidadãos que já tinham completado 18 anos passaram automaticamente a integrar os cadernos eleitorais e a poder exercer o seu direito de voto. Este aspeto é importante porque muitas das pessoas emigradas ainda não actualizaram os seus dados, permanecendo inscritas, embora já não residam no país. Outro factor importante é o facto de muitas pessoas, neste momento, não se identificarem com os políticos do país. Cada vez mais se verifica um afastamento entre os cidadãos e a classe política. Isso ficou também evidente nestas eleições. As pessoas deixaram de acreditar na forma como os políticos actuam e encontraram na abstenção uma forma de manifestar esse descontentamento. Foi isso que também aconteceu. Esta reduzida afluência às urnas pode retirar força política à vitória de Carlos Vila Nova? Não creio que isso não lhe retire força política. Não lhe retira força política por uma razão muito simples: a partir do momento em que é eleito Presidente da República, passa a exercer todas as funções que a Constituição lhe atribui. Foi eleito Presidente da República e, independentemente da taxa de abstenção, exercerá plenamente essas funções. Portanto, a abstenção não lhe retira legitimidade nem força política. Contudo, deve levá-lo a reflectir sobre aquilo que foi a sua actuação durante os últimos cinco anos. A sua governação pode, efectivamente, ter contribuído para que uma parte significativa do eleitorado optasse pela abstenção. Que desafios mais urgentes esperam agora Carlos Vila Nova neste segundo mandato, tanto no plano interno como nas relações internacionais? O primeiro desafio que Carlos Vila Nova tem, no meu entender, é perceber rapidamente que a sua eleição aconteceu ontem. Todas as alianças políticas que fez com os outros partidos para efeitos da sua candidatura terminaram com o acto eleitoral. A partir do momento em que tomar posse, vai ser o Presidente de todos os são-tomenses. Todos os cidadãos devem ser tratados da mesma forma, independentemente da sua opção política. Esse é o primeiro grande desafio. O segundo desafio prende-se com as relações bilaterais do país. As nossas relações internacionais têm estado bastante fragilizadas ao longo dos últimos tempos, sobretudo com países como Angola, Portugal e outros parceiros estratégicos. É importante que Carlos Vila Nova encontre mecanismos para reforçar essas relações, porque, como sabemos, São Tomé e Príncipe é um país insular, sem ligações terrestres a qualquer outro Estado. Por isso, é fundamental fortalecer as relações bilaterais com os nossos parceiros internacionais, para que delas resultem benefícios concretos para o desenvolvimento do país e para a melhoria das condições de vida da população. Outro grande desafio para Carlos Vila Nova vai ser transmitir uma imagem de tranquilidade e de unidade nacional. Durante esta campanha eleitoral assistiu-se à divulgação de mensagens marcadas pelo ódio, pela raiva e até por intenções de vingança. Tudo isso deve agora ser ultrapassado. Somos todos são-tomenses e aquilo que todos desejamos é que o nosso país continue a melhorar, para que todos possam viver felizes nesta terra, que é um verdadeiro paraíso. Falava da campanha, marcada por crispação política, por boicotes e também por desinformação. Que sinais considera importantes observar nos próximos dias para avaliar a estabilidade política e institucional de São Tomé e Príncipe? É verdade que houve boicotes e, como referi, esses boicotes podem estar relacionados com os níveis de abstenção. Trata-se de manifestações de descontentamento por parte da população, que não devem ser ignoradas. O Presidente da República terá de encontrar um espaço de diálogo apropriado para transmitir uma mensagem clara aos cidadãos, restaurando a confiança nas instituições políticas, nos partidos e na própria Presidência da República. Esse será também um passo importante para reforçar a estabilidade política e institucional do país. Esta eleição pode representar o fim de um ciclo político e dar início a uma nova configuração do poder em São Tomé e Príncipe? Sim, naturalmente. Aquilo que aconteceu nestas eleições aponta para uma nova configuração do mosaico político e eleitoral em São Tomé e Príncipe. Neste momento, temos o MCI, partido liderado por Delfim Neves, que, na minha perspectiva, saiu politicamente reforçado. O candidato apoiado por este partido obteve um desempenho superior ao que muitos esperavam. É importante recordar que a candidatura de Carlos Vila Nova contou com o apoio de várias forças políticas e que, no próprio ADI, muitos dirigentes e militantes não apoiaram de forma clara a candidatura de Nito d'Abreu. Poucos foram os que manifestaram um apoio efectivo ao candidato, o que também é reflexo do trabalho político desenvolvido pelo MCI e pelos restantes partidos que apoiaram Carlos Vila Nova. Por outro lado, partidos como o MLSTP/PSD, o MDFM e outras forças políticas terão agora de fazer uma avaliação profunda da sua situação política. O MLSTP/PSD, como sabemos, atravessa também um momento de fragilidade, muito por causa da indefinição demonstrada ao longo deste processo eleitoral. Espera-se que consiga redefinir a sua posição e preparar-se para os próximos desafios políticos. Quanto ao ADI, a grande questão passa por saber que caminho vai seguir. Não sei se conseguirá renovar a sua liderança com Américo Ramos ou se continuará sob a direcção de Patrício Trovoada, que sofreu uma derrota política muito significativa nestas eleições. Se Patrício Trovoada continuar a liderar o partido, considero que será muito difícil evitar uma nova derrota nas próximas eleições legislativas.

Hoe haalde die man het in zijn hoofd om in de jaren dertig helemaal alleen naar Zuid-Afrika te fietsen én terug? Een reis van meer dan vijf jaar.

Intiem, kwetsbaar en vol verlangen naar huis, terwijl hij steeds verder reed.

Dan ontstaat het ambitieuze idee om zijn tocht te vervolledigen. Wat als wij het stuk dat Nowak noodgedwongen te paard moest afleggen, fietsen? ­ Terug in België begint het echte werk: routes uitstippelen, trainen, twijfels inslikken.

30 anos da CPLP: Marcolino Moco exprime "uma certa desilusão"

Em directo da redacção

A CPLP, Comunidade dos países de língua portuguesa, assinala hoje 30 anos de existência. Uma organização confrontada com múltiplo desafios e fragilizada pela suspensão da Guiné-Bissau na sequência do golpe de Estado de Novembro passado. O antigo Primeiro-Ministro angolano Marcolino Moco foi o primeiro secretário executivo da organização lusófona e fez um balanço à RFI destas três décadas de existência do bloco lusófono. Marcolino Moco começa por afirmar a sua grande decepção relativamente ao desempenho da CPLP. Eu tenho uma ideia de uma certa desilusão. Porque eu tinha a ideia inicial de que essa CPLP podia ser um impulsionador, sobretudo na área de reafirmação dos valores que constituíram o histórico dos países que constituem a CPLP: Portugal mais as suas ex-colónias, mais o Brasil. Portanto trabalhar em mais-valias que poderiam resultar deste histórico. Mas isso não tem sido possível, por várias razões, entre as quais eu costumo sublinhar especialmente o maior desperdício de energias para uma actividade meramente formal, diplomática ou formal entre os Estados. Portanto, aquela ideia de que, especialmente os países africanos poderiam adquirir vantagens, uma espécie de recomposição daqueles aspectos positivos que resultaram da nossa história, isso não se tem conseguido porque na relação entre Estados há muito formalismo. O problema do respeito das soberanias de cada um é tão forte que se desprezam as mais-valias que poderiam beneficiar às populações. Embora se fale muito até hoje dos males da colonização. Mas havia muitos aspectos positivos que poderiam ter sido recuperados e que não o foram. Pelo contrário, continuamos, especialmente nos países africanos, a perder valores éticos, sobretudo na área política, em que, por exemplo, as eleições são praticamente uma inutilidade. Talvez com a excepção de Cabo Verde, onde as eleições são um factor de estabilização, são factor de escrutínio da acção dos políticos governantes. Mas isso não acontece nos outros países, especialmente continentais africanos, com casos graves: em Angola, começou por Angola, que é o meu país, da Guiné-Bissau. São casos muito graves e também de Moçambique. A suspensão da Guiné-Bissau da CPLP, onde um ex-secretário executivo da CPLP está desde a semana passada em prisão preventiva, com os golpistas a assumirem o poder, não pode ser fatal à sobrevivência da organização? Talvez não seja fatal, porque vai-se continuar a trabalhar na base do formalismo e não na base de algo que seja útil para estabilizar politicamente todos os Estados. Possivelmente a Guiné-Bissau, Angola também, a situação não é, como muita gente pensa, boa, óptima. E também temos acompanhado aspectos negativos em Moçambique. Na sua opinião, a CPLP deve ser mais exigente na defesa da democracia e dos direitos humanos nos Estados-Membros? Ora, nem mais. Em relação a esse aspecto, a CPLP não actua por causa do tal respeito à soberania e por causa da defesa de interesses de algumas pessoas, tudo agentes do Estado. Veja que, pelo contrário, foi associado um país muito pior em termos de respeito dos direitos humanos, da democracia, da preocupação dos dirigentes do seu Estado, em relação ao bem-estar social das suas populações. Estou-me a referir à Guiné Equatorial, por exemplo, que por nenhuma razão que se invocasse deveria fazer parte da CPLP, tanto pelo respeito aos direitos humanos como por outros aspectos do regime. Este Estado foi atraído pela CPLP, indiciando que o tal ideal da democracia, o ideal ético, de uma política ética não tem grande significado perante perante nós, elites políticas. Eu também faço parte das elites políticas, dos nossos Estados. E veja este caso da Guiné-Bissau. Um dirigente que até também foi secretário da CPLP, detido arbitrariamente de forma vergonhosa e tanto quanto eu saiba, a CPLP está impotente para actuar. A expulsão é uma coisa que não não tem grande relevância. Mas eu pensaria que haveria atitudes anteriores. Essas situações deviam ser promovidas para darmos maior utilidade à nossa organização. Daqui a 30 anos, o que eu gostaria que se dissesse da CPLP? Eu sou professor ainda e às vezes digo muita coisa que é politicamente incorrecta. Devemos começar primeiro por reconhecer que as nossas independências foram muito mal conduzidas. Não houve reflexão. Foram rejeitadas ideias de Constituição de transições mais úteis. Eu não estou a preconizar um regresso ao passado, uma recolonização, mas pelo menos uma capacidade de olhar para o presente, fazermos uma retrospectiva correctiva do que aconteceu e não permitirmos efectivamente muitas coisas que estão a acontecer hoje nesses países, que tiveram o seu surgimento graças à presença de Portugal aqui em África. Independentemente dos aspectos negativos que possam ter acontecido. Tenho para os amigos muito próximos dito que podíamos ter independência, mas sem descolonizar. Acho que isso é politicamente incorrecto, sobretudo para quem não reflectiu, como eu tenho reflectido. Mas nós temos exemplos positivos de uma prática desse tipo. Onde houve independência sem descolonização. Portanto, as instituições estão preservadas. Quando se fala em descolonização, normalmente pensa-se que é afastar o branco da administração e deixá-lo sair, se for possível. Mas nos nossos Estados, onde se realizou uma descolonização precipitada, onde constituímos essas pátrias com pessoas de todas as proveniências e depois 74-75, montámos um esquema mental completamente errado. Aquele êxodo que houve aqui nos nossos países. É talvez por isso que justamente Cabo Verde é um exemplo onde não houve êxodo, com uma parte da população retendo as elites com conhecimento, etc. Hoje vão, digamos, se estabilizando melhor. E aqui onde houve o êxodo da população branca em grande quantidade, estávamos pobres em tudo, a partir da própria moralidade, da própria ética, passando pelas prioridades que são traçadas por pessoas mal preparadas. Eu também me incluo nesse aspecto, porque também ocupei funções. De modos que é isso que eu lamento que a CPLP, 30 anos depois, não possa ter contribuído para, digamos, remediar esses problemas.

Jim dives deep into the shadowy world of the Dixie Mafia—the ruthless Southern crime network that terrorized the Gulf Coast with drugs, gambling, corruption, and murder. From their strongholds in Biloxi, Mississippi, and operations reaching into Louisiana, these loosely connected criminals operated with impunity for decades. At the heart of the story is one of their most infamous schemes: the "Lonely Hearts" scam run straight from Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. Dixie Mafia kingpin Kirksey Nix Jr., serving life for murder, orchestrated the massive extortion racket from behind bars. The money flowed through a Biloxi law firm, but when funds went missing, Nix's paranoia led to a deadly betrayal. His alleged associates, including lawyer-turned-mayor Pete Halat, allegedly pointed the finger at Halat's law partner, Circuit Court Judge Vincent Sherry, and his wife, prominent Biloxi city councilwoman Margaret Sherry. On September 14, 1987, a hitman executed the couple in their own home in a cold-blooded double murder ordered from Angola. We'll unpack the Louisiana ties—the web of corruption that protected the Dixie Mafia, the investigation that finally brought down key players like Nix, Halat, and others, and the shocking betrayals that exposed it all. This is a tale of greed, deception, prison power, and how one scam shattered lives on the Gulf Coast.Chapters:04:55 Crime and Corruption09:02 Carnival Massacre20:27 Violence Expands24:45 Gillich's Rise25:55 Lonely Hearts Scam34:11 Murder Over Missing Money36:28 The Sherry Double Murder43:16 Federal Trial Unfolds47:33 Aftermath and LegacyExposed Listener Deals!

Doing More With Less: What Cuba's Black Wasps Teach Operators About Adaptive Threat Response, Resource Discipline, and Environmental Mastery

The Avispas Negras, Cuba's Mobile Brigade of Special Troops, have spent decades proving that elite operational effectiveness is not a function of budget or equipment inventory but of training discipline, environmental adaptability, and the ability to read and exploit a threat landscape with whatever tools are actually available rather than the ones you wish you had. Forged in the crucible of Angola in the 1970s and refined through decades of sanctions, embargo, and material scarcity, these five-person teams developed a model of lean, high-speed direct action and unconventional warfare that forced them to innovate, improvise, and build situational awareness frameworks that compensate for what they lack in hardware with what they possess in human intelligence and environmental mastery. This episode breaks down how the Black Wasps sustained elite standards under resource constraints, what their operational model reveals about the relationship between awareness, adaptability, and effectiveness, and what any operator or professional in a high-threat environment can learn from a unit that has always had to think its way through problems that better-funded forces would simply buy their way out of.

While the world focused on CIA operations against Havana, Cuba was quietly building one of the Western Hemisphere's most battle-hardened and least understood special operations units, the Avispas Negras, a force that cut its teeth in Angola, refined its tradecraft across decades of economic isolation, and recently demonstrated its reach during high-stakes operations in Venezuela in ways that caught Western intelligence analysts off guard. Trained by multiple foreign intelligence services, operating in compact five-person cells that minimize exposure and maximize deniability, and equipped with locally modified Soviet-era systems that are harder to attribute and track than Western hardware, the Black Wasps represent exactly the kind of asymmetric intelligence and direct action capability that thrives in the gaps between what adversaries expect and what they actually find. This episode pulls back the curtain on one of the most underreported special operations forces in the world, examining how Cuba built a ghost force capable of projecting power far beyond what its GDP and geopolitical footprint would suggest possible.

A semana fica marcada pela instabilidade política em São Tomé e Príncipe, pela eleição de Venâncio Mondlane para a liderança do Anamola, em Moçambique, pela acusação formal do general Higino Carneiro, em Angola, pelas críticas à reduzida representação feminina no novo Governo de Cabo Verde e pelo desmentido da CEDEAO sobre alegadas tentativas de suborno durante uma missão à Guiné-Bissau. Em São Tomé e Príncipe, o Conselho Nacional da ADI marcou para 26 de Julho o congresso do partido. A decisão é contestada pelo actual primeiro-ministro, Américo Ramos, que reafirmou a sua candidatura à presidência da formação política. Ainda no arquipélago, o Tribunal Constitucional confirmou a rejeição da candidatura do empresário e político Domingos Monteiro às eleições presidenciais de 19 de Julho, por considerar que nenhum dos seus pais é são-tomense. Permanecem na corrida cinco candidatos: o antigo primeiro-ministro Jorge Bom Jesus, o líder parlamentar da ADI, Nito D'Abreu, o actual Presidente da República, Carlos Vila Nova, e os juristas Miques João Bonfim e Eugénio Tiny. Segundo dados provisórios da Comissão Eleitoral Nacional, estão inscritos 142.298 eleitores, mais cerca de 19 mil do que nas eleições de 2022. Em Moçambique, Venâncio Mondlane foi eleito presidente da Aliança Nacional por um Moçambique Livre e Autónomo, Anamola. Em entrevista à RFI, afirmou que pretende transformar a nova força política no maior partido da história democrática do país até 2029 e anunciou ainda a criação de uma "Escola Anamola". Entretanto, as autoridades moçambicanas repatriaram, nos últimos dias, mais de duas centenas de cidadãos do Malawi que tinham entrado ilegalmente no país para fugir aos ataques xenófobos na África do Sul. Em Angola, o general Higino Carneiro foi formalmente acusado pela Procuradoria-Geral da República dos crimes de peculato e branqueamento de capitais, alegadamente cometidos quando exerceu funções de governador do Cuando Cubango. A defesa afirma não ter sido notificada e acusa o Ministério Público de violar o segredo de justiça, considerando que o processo procura travar as ambições políticas do também candidato à liderança do MPLA. Ainda em Angola, o Tribunal da Comarca de Luanda iniciou o julgamento do influenciador digital Gerson Quintas, conhecido como "Man Genas", acusado de ofensas ao Presidente da República e de declarações dirigidas a altas patentes da Polícia Nacional. As alegadas ofensas foram proferidas quando se encontrava em Moçambique, de onde foi deportado em Fevereiro de 2024 por situação migratória irregular. Em Cabo Verde, os partidos da oposição e a presidente da Rede das Mulheres Parlamentares criticam a composição do novo Governo liderado pelo primeiro-ministro Francisco Carvalho, apontando a reduzida representação de mulheres e jovens nos principais cargos de decisão. Na Guiné-Bissau, a CEDEAO desmentiu as alegações de uma tentativa de suborno a membros da sua mais recente missão oficial ao país. A organização classificou as acusações como falsas e sem qualquer fundamento, depois de notícias divulgadas nas redes sociais e replicadas por vários órgãos de comunicação social darem conta de uma alegada entrega de cerca de 22 mil euros no quarto de hotel de um dos membros da missão. A delegação esteve na Guiné-Bissau entre 19 e 23 de Junho para acompanhar a implementação do mandato revisto da Missão de Apoio à Estabilização no país.

The Knicks just won the NBA Finals — and José Alvarado led the Puerto Rican Day Parade the next morning. But while New York was celebrating, something else was quietly happening in the Caribbean: a US carrier strike group just parked itself 90 miles from Havana. Henry and Danny — with help from AI guest Tio Raul — break down the full arc of America's 125-year obsession with Cuba. From the first concentration camps in history, to the mob-run casino island Batista built for American business, to Fidel's guerrilla campaign on a 10-person yacht with 81 men aboard, to the Cuban tank crews that went and fought Israel on a mountain in Syria — this island punches so far above its weight it's almost unbelievable. They also get into why Cuba deployed nearly half a million troops to Angola over 16 years, how that campaign helped end apartheid in South Africa (and what Nelson Mandela himself said about it), and how Aroldis Chapman — the hardest thrower in baseball history — had to buy his freedom from a cartel for $30 million just to pitch in the majors. And then there's Marco Rubio, whose family left Cuba under Batista — not Castro — now sitting as Secretary of State with a carrier fleet and a personal vendetta shaping US foreign policy in real time. Someone just dropped $57,000 on a prediction market betting it all goes hot before the end of 2026. Tio Raul is powered by Maneku — the AI built for real conversations.

Understanding overlooked dimensions of the Cuban Revolution and its impact on the global left in the 1960s and beyond. This volume, The Cuban Revolution and the New Left: Transnational Histories of Gender, Sexuality, and Family (University of Florida Press, 2026) reconsiders revolutionary Cuba's global influence by shifting the focus from high-level political leaders to perspectives traditionally sidelined, offering new insights into how everyday lives, family dynamics, and notions of gender and sexuality impacted revolutionary transformation. Its expansive scope uncovers ties between Cuba and Latin America, the United States, Africa, and Asia, examining the interplay of global forces including new models of mass consumption, feminist and LGBTQ+ movements, and national liberation struggles. Chapters include analyses of Chinese reinterpretations of a Cuban play, Angela Davis's influential visits to the island, Cuba's complex relations with Black militants in Angola, and a Mexican transgender and disability activist who reimagined Che Guevara's legacy. They also present research on Cuba's solidarity campaigns with Vietnam, foreign journalists who covered the revolution, the role of consumption and fashion, and the lasting impact of the revolution's refugee policies on exiled children and families from the Southern Cone. Through its interdisciplinary sociocultural approach, this volume challenges conventional top-down narratives by foregrounding the interplay between grassroots actors and transnational affairs. It is an essential resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the multilayered stages of the Cuban Revolution and its continued relationship with global politics and culture.

One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

Today is the final episode of my time in Louisiana, brought here by the story of Dwight Bergeron, a man who had his life taken from him for a crime he has always maintained he is innocent of — but of course, as you know by now, he isn't the only one who says he's innocent. Louisiana was the first official stop on my tour after a quick visit to Las Vegas. It was my first time visiting a family whose story I had featured, a family that has had a truly traumatic life. A mother and father sent to prison for a crime they didn't commit, four children who were used and manipulated by adults to put them there, and who have spent the past three decades trying to right that wrong. And although their mother is now home, and has been for some time after having been scared into taking a deal, Dwight, the main focus of our series, is still incarcerated, and at this point will be for potentially the remainder of his life unless the system that placed him there sees sense to take another look at this case.So when this story was first brought to me, I was extremely sceptical. If you just take the headline of this case and what these parents were accused of, it makes your skin crawl. When I first started this series four years ago, I was often asked if there was anyone I wouldn't talk to, and my answer was always the same. Yes, anyone accused of a crime against a child, especially if that crime was sexual in nature, and this one was quite possibly as bad as it gets. However, there was one thing that changed my mind: a letter, a letter written by a young girl, now a woman, a woman pleading for help, pleading to be heard, pleading for her father's life.When I first took on the story, I was told that although Becky was absolutely on board with the telling of the story and me exposing everything that had been done in order to get her parents convicted, she personally did not want to take part and be interviewed for the series. Becky has spent the better part of over 30 years telling and retelling this story, mainly to multiple sets of lawyers. She has lived with the guilt of her parents' conviction basically her entire life. The subject matter and story are not only traumatic to relive but also embarrassing, people, as we all know, can be cruel and highly judgmental. And now, a woman with children of her own, as much as she wants to get her father home and clear her parents' names, she also has her own mental health and her children's lives to consider, and she understandably didn't want to be placed into the spotlight of the story. During the telling of Dwight's case, Becky and I spoke a couple of times via Facebook messaging. I had a few questions and points I wanted to clarify, and she was always more than happy to help, but that's as far as it went. However, when she found out that I was thinking about making one of my stops on my trip Louisiana, she told Janet, Dwight's partner, that she would like the opportunity to meet with me, and of course I was very happy for the opportunity. So after our visit to Angola that evening, we headed off for a Chinese meal and a chat with Becky. The following day it was time to leave, but before I did, Janet, Dwight's partner and biggest advocate for the past 14 years, wanted to clear the air and release the names publicly of those still alive who she says know what happened in this case and know that Dwight is an innocent man.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

Welcome back to my first ever trip to the United States!In today's episode I head out in the car with the partner of Dwight Bergeron to make the over 2 hour drive to the Angola State Prison. Along the way I read more files from the case against Dwight, mostly the files made by the child psychologist who spent countless hours with the children in the lead up to Dwight's trial. After the trial, well, it all just stopped, but why?Once we make it to Angola, although we can't go inside, we do have a very sobering experience walking through the prison's museum which sits just outside the front gates. I step inside a replica cell, see relics from past prison escapes, check out a wide variety of incredibly terrifying prison made weapons and come face to face with Old Sparky. The electric chair that saw the death of 87 prisoners.This was certainly a very sobering experience.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

If you live in South Louisiana, you probably saw the headlines last month raising alarm about the region's vulnerability to climate change. Like this one in The Guardian: ‘Point of no return': New Orleans relocation must start now due to sea level rise, study finds. WWNO and WRKF reporters Aubri Juhasz and Eva Tesfaye have been looking at the study, media coverage and how locals are responding. They sat down to talk about it with one another.The sequel to the Oscar-nominated documentary “Time,” titled “Time II: Unfinished Business,” premiered Friday on Amazon Prime. It picks up where the first leaves off, after Sibil “Fox Rich” Richardson's husband, Rob, is freed from Angola after serving 21 years for armed robbery. Fox was also involved in the robbery and served seven years in prison. The film documents the couple's fight for the release of their nephew, an accomplice who is still serving time. It also highlights their fight for justice reform to ensure punishments fit the crime. “Fox Rich” and Rob Richardson join us with more.—Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber. We receive production and technical support from Garrett Pittman, Adam Vos and our assistant producer, Aubry Procell. You can listen to Louisiana Considered Monday through Friday at noon and 7 p.m. It's available on Spotify, the NPR App and wherever you get your podcasts. Louisiana Considered wants to hear from you!

A Small Voice: Conversations With Photographers

Harriet Logan is a multi-award winning photographer who spent the first half of her career working on international assignments in places such as Sudan, Angola, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo and Somalia for a range of international newspapers and magazines.

Today she curates the Incite Project, an issue driven collection of photographs broadly based around the subject of world events and conflict. Harriet is also the executive director of The Ian Parry Photojournalism Grant which has run for over 30 years and which she won in 1992. The grant has a mission to support young and emerging Photojournalists. She co-parents 4 boys with her husband Mark, an owl, a peregrine falcon, three dogs, a dressage horse, and a bunch of sheep, cows, chickens and pigs.

To make this unprecedented program, producer Ned Sublette traveled to Mbanza-Kongo, the ancient seat of the Kongo empire located in present-day northern Angola, where he spoke to Dr. Bárbaro Martínez Ruiz, professor of art and art history at Stanford. We'll learn about the simbi, the spirits that Martínez Ruiz describes as “the multiple power of god”; hear Antonio Madiata play the lungoyi-ngoyi, the two-stringed viola of the Kongo court; attend a session of the lumbu, the traditional tribunal of elders; and talk to Pedro Lopes, a nganga mawuko (traditional healer). With C. Daniel Dawson and Angolan composer and musicologist Victor Gama, we'll explore Kongo-Ngola culture in the diaspora – in Brasil, Haiti, Cuba, and more. A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY TO MBANZA-KONGO is supported by a 2012 Knight Luce Fellowship for Reporting on Global Religion. The fellowship is a program of the University of Southern California's Knight Chair in Media and Religion. Originally produced by Ned Sublette in 2012 APWW #651
