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.

Wayfinding is an ancient Polynesian way of navigating by reading the ocean, stars and wind. No compass, no map, just deep observation, and experience passed down through generations. But because of that, wayfinding is more art than science. It's about trusting your instinct and using all your senses - and it's exactly the kind of travel Daniel Scheffler believes in, and exactly what this conversation is all about.Daniel Scheffler is one of the world's most successful travel writers, and in today's episode he and host Aaron Millar swap tales like a couple of mates having a laugh down the pub. Expect scorpion bites in Angola, voodoo ceremonies in Benin, Berber festivals in Morocco, and lots more.But between the wild stories, this episode is about something much deeper too. If you want to be inspired about not just what to see, but how to see - and how to make travel more than just Google reviews and ticking off lists - this is the episode for you.HIGHLIGHTSHear how Daniel survived a scorpion bite in Angola, three minutes from death, and the tribal leader who saved his life by sucking out the venom. Travel with Aaron to a Festival Fantasia in the foothills of Morocco's Atlas Mountains, the biggest culture shock he's ever experienced, and why that discomfort was exactly the point. Discover what it's like to sit inside a voodoo ceremony in Benin, a belief system entirely outside Daniel's own, and why he calls it one of the best things he's ever done.FIND OUT MOREDaniel Scheffler writes regularly on Substack at Without Maps find more of his writing and adventures there.And don't miss his own podcast, Wayfinder: Life-Changing Travel - if you enjoy Armchair Explorer, we think you'll love it too.Listen to Wayfinder: Life-Changing Travel on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts: Wayfinder: Life-Changing Travel on Apple PodcastsPASS IT ON:If this episode lit something up in you, do me a favor - send it to just one person.

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.

A grande figura do encontro foi o guarda-redes Vozinha, decisivo ao impedir todos os remates da selecção espanhola. Confira aqui o magazine Semana em África, espaço onde fazemos um apanhado das notícias africanas que marcaram as nossas antenas. No plano político, Cabo Verde assistiu à formação do novo executivo liderado por Francisco Carvalho e à eleição de Janira Hopffer Almada para a presidência do Parlamento, tornando-se a primeira mulher a assumir o cargo desde a independência do país. Em São Tomé e Príncipe, o Tribunal Constitucional validou cinco candidaturas às eleições presidenciais marcadas para 19 de Julho, abrindo oficialmente a corrida eleitoral.

Angola e Moçambique enfrentam financiamento caro e instável; Cabo Verde, Guiné-Bissau e São Tomé e Príncipe dependem de crédito.

De Sao Tomé jusqu'en Islande : 7 459 km ! En route ! Notre 1er invité est Dj Tom B. pour la compilation Léve Léve Vol.2 Alliant un élan révolutionnaire désarmant à des rythmes parmi les plus chaleureux et entraînants, l'histoire musicale de São Tomé-et-Príncipe se poursuit avec ce second volume irrésistible de morceaux taillés pour le dancefloor, publié par le label Bongo Joe. Six ans après la sortie de la toute première compilation consacrée à ces îles jumelles, réunie sous le titre décontracté et insouciant LÉVE LÉVE (« take it easy »), cette nouvelle sélection rassemble 15 titres essentiels issus de singles et d'albums d'artistes emblématiques de la scène locale tels que Sum Alvarinho, Os Úntuès, Conjunto Mindelo, África Negra ou encore Sangazuza. Véritable panorama joyeux et brûlé de soleil des sons et des mouvements de la vie insulaire, cette scène, aussi diverse que les paysages de l'archipel, avait été introduite dans le premier volume à travers certains des groupes et artistes les plus populaires et influents de cette région africaine lusophone. Tout en conservant un lien avec les artistes présents sur cette première compilation, le DJ français au goût éclectique et à la touche chaleureuse, Tom B, propose ici une nouvelle sélection riche et généreuse de morceaux animés par l'esprit de l'indépendance africaine, de la tradition et de la prière. Rarement mise en lumière, voire jamais, la nation insulaire africaine de São Tomé-et-Príncipe et son export musical le plus envoûtant, le Puxa, restent largement méconnus. Fusion transatlantique raffinée mêlant le soukouss congolais, le semba angolais et le merengue, la coladeira capverdienne, le kompa haïtien et des rythmes brésiliens, enrichie de lignes de basse mouvantes, de mélodies délicates et de choeurs santoméens, le Puxa se définit par son groove dansant et rebondissant, ses percussions vives, ses voix suaves et apaisées, ses guitares délicatement pincées et striées à la manière du benga kényan, et une bienveillance omniprésente. São Tomé-et-Príncipe devint tristement célèbre comme point de transit majeur de la traite esclavagiste. Sa position sur l'équateur, au large du Gabon et au coeur de l'Atlantique, en fit une escale stratégique exploitée pour le transport forcé de personnes réduites en esclavage. Il fallut plus de quatre cents ans pour que l'indépendance soit enfin proclamée en 1975. Des groupes présents sur la compilation, comme le célèbre África Negra, incarnent pleinement cette lutte. Sur le premier de leurs deux titres inclus ici, Apoiámos a luta dos nossos irmãos (« Nous soutenons la lutte de nos frères »), ils livrent un hymne libérateur, citant d'autres pays — souvent désignés collectivement comme les PALOP (Pays africains de langue officielle portugaise) — en signe de solidarité : « São Tomé, Príncipe, Angola, Mozambique, Guinée, Cap-Vert… ». Initialement censuré par les autorités portugaises, qui leur interdisaient d'utiliser leur nom célébrant leurs racines africaines jusqu'à l'indépendance de 1975, l'un des groupes les plus populaires de la région renforça encore son ancrage identitaire avec des morceaux comme ce titre de motivation au Puxa puissant, longtemps resté inédit. Ils tournèrent régulièrement en Angola, au Mozambique, à Lisbonne et au Cap-Vert, intégrant de nouveaux membres au fil du temps, dont le célèbre second guitariste Leonildo Barros, arrivé en 1978 et toujours à la tête du groupe aujourd'hui. Dans un esprit similaire, et spécialement remasterisé pour cette compilation, le titre África é país de Tiny das Neves e Conjunto Sol d'África — hymne des années 80 prisé des DJs pour son énergie électrisante — rend hommage au leader révolutionnaire anticolonial et poète Amílcar Cabral. La compilation met également en avant plusieurs autres groupes, dont Sangazuza, de retour avec quatre titres issus de leurs deux LP aujourd'hui très recherchés. Toujours actif aujourd'hui avec une formation plus jeune, le groupe fut initialement fondé en 1969 par le guitariste soliste José Soares Fernandes (alias Rivete) et le chanteur Hyder India. Présents sans interruption à chaque décennie depuis leur création, leur succès local leur valut une diffusion sur Radio STP. Dix ans plus tard, avec un nouveau line-up, ils firent évoluer le son santoméen en y intégrant synthétiseurs et effets studio. Dans les années 1990, Sangazuza connut encore le succès, publiant plusieurs albums solos et deux cassettes en collaboration avec leurs rivaux amicaux África Negra. Morceaux joués : - Sangazuza Mario bi cedo - Sum Alvarinho Cacau - Tiny Das Neves Africa é pais - Bulawê N'Guli Fala, Quinta Das Palmeiras Tira a mao da minha xuxa. ► Album Léve Léve Vol.2 (Bongo Joe 2026) Instagram Bongo Joe - Instagram Tom B. - Bandcamp.     Puis la #SessionLive reçoit le songwriter islandais Asgeir pour la sortie de son 5ème album Julia. Dans son cinquième album studio Julia, le chanteur-compositeur islandais Ásgeir s'aventure dans un territoire intrigant et inexploré. Après avoir collaboré pendant des années avec des traducteurs tels que John Grant et travaillé sur la poésie de son père, Einar Georg Einarsson, Ásgeir a écrit lui-même les paroles de ses chansons pour la première fois de sa longue et brillante carrière. Le résultat est une œuvre profondément contemplative, imprégnée de nostalgie, dans laquelle Ásgeir médite sur ses regrets passés et ses espoirs pour l'avenir, guidé par le spectre du personnage qui donne son titre à l'album. Ásgeir est depuis longtemps salué pour sa folk-pop complexe, ses productions somptueuses et sa voix de fausset mélancolique et émouvante. Ce nouveau sentiment de vulnérabilité imprègne les dix titres de l'album, écrits et enregistrés sur une période de près de deux ans. La plupart des chansons ont d'abord été composées à la guitare, privilégiant la simplicité, la mélodie, la clarté et le sens. La production, développée en collaboration avec Guðm. « Kiddi » Kristinn Jónsson, son partenaire de longue date, reste organique et discrète, permettant à la voix d'Ásgeir, et surtout à son talent d'auteur-compositeur, de s'exprimer pleinement.

Die regering se plan om 'n belang in De Beers te verkry, wek beide optimisme en kommer. Daar word gesê dat 'n belegging van tot 3 miljard Namibiese dollar in De Beers oorweeg word, via 'n gesamentlike onderneming met Botswana en Angola. Ondersteuners voer aan dat dit Namibië se vastrapplek in die bedryf kan versterk. Kritici waarsku egter dat die sukkelende diamantmark die onderneming riskant kan maak. Kennedy Hamutenya, die voormalige hoof van die staat se diamantbemarkings- en verkoopsmaatskappy, Namdia, sê die sleutel lê in hoe die belegging gestruktureer en bestuur word.

No recapitulativo desta semana em África, o destaque vai para Moçambique onde na madrugada do sábado passado, foi morto o bispo de Quelimane por indivíduos armados na sua residência. Este assassínio provocou uma onda de choque em todos os quadrantes no país e também no seio do Vaticano, o Papa Leão XIV tendo apela ao "fim dos actos violentos" em Moçambique. Na quarta-feira, o Presidente moçambicano garantiu que as autoridades do seu país iriam esclarecer o que a igreja moçambicana qualificou de "crime gravíssimo". Entretanto, na quinta-feira, o Serviço Nacional de Investigação Criminal (Sernic), anunciou a detenção de três suspeitos no âmbito da investigação sobre este assassínio. Após um primeiro interrogatório judicial, as autoridades decidiram mantê-los em detenção preventiva. Também na actualidade de Moçambique, estes últimos dias, o país continuou a monitorar o regresso progressivo dos moçambicanos vítimas de violências xenófobas na África do Sul. No começo da semana, chegou mais um grupo cujos relatos são de momentos de terror. Noutro quadrante, ao longo destes últimos dias, a RFI e um conjunto de outros órgãos de comunicação social, em coordenação com o consórcio "Forbidden Stories", publicou uma série de reportagens sobre a situação de Cabo Delgado. Um dos aspectos que indagaram foi o elo entre a exploração das riquezas da região, a corrupção, os abusos dos direitos humanos e a insurgência armada que afecta o extremo norte de Moçambique desde 2017. Micael Pereira, jornalista do Expresso em Portugal que participou nesta investigação, considerou que o extremismo presente naquela zona é também o reflexo das desigualdades aí persistentes. Outro dos jornalistas envolvidos nesse inquérito, Tomás Queface, do Zitamar News, explicou que a concentração das forças moçambicanas e ruandesas junto dos projectos de gás deixa outras zonas vulneráveis, permitindo aos insurgentes financiar-se através da exploração das minas de ouro. Noutra actualidade, em Angola, no final da semana passada, a subcomissão de candidaturas ao IX Congresso Ordinário do MPLA, no poder em Angola, anunciou a validação da candidatura de João Lourenço à presidência do partido, após a aprovação de um pouco mais de 98% das cerca de 11 mil subscrições que sustentam o seu dossier. O anúncio da validação desta candidatura mereceu resposta por parte dos restantes candidatos à presidência do MPLA que não descartam uma acção judicial. Também na actualidade angolana, Manuel Augusto, antigo ministro das relações exteriores de 2017 a 2020, faleceu no final da semana passada aos 68 anos numa unidade hospitalar de Luanda. Formado em Direito Internacional Público e especializado em direito diplomático, Manuel Augusto exerceu o essencial da sua carreira nessa área. Após a sua morte, foram numerosas as homenagens à acção que conduziu pelo seu país. Em São Tomé e Príncipe, entra-se progressivamente em período de pré-campanha. Depois de seis responsáveis políticos, nomeadamente o Presidente cessante, terem apresentado a sua candidatura para as presidenciais previstas a 19 de Julho, as autoridades fizeram um primeiro balanço do número de eleitores recenseados e habilitados a votar no próximo escrutínio. Na Guiné-Bissau, depois de o chefe da diplomacia portuguesa, Paulo Rangel dizer esta semana que a CPLP está a empenhar-se para o regresso da normalidade constitucional na Guiné-Bissau, Fernando Vaz, porta-voz do Conselho Nacional de Transição da Guiné-Bissau, fez na quarta-feira uma advertência diplomática ao Estado português, vincando que o seu país "não se vergará a exames de bom comportamento". Para finalizar não podíamos deixar de mencionar o arranque na passada quinta-feira do Mundial 2026 de futebol no Canada, Estados Unidos e México. Uma competição na qual a equipa cabo verdiana vai-se estrear-se neste 15 de Junho em Atlanta contra a equipa espanhola. Em entrevista à RFI, o seleccionador dos Tubarões Azuis, Bubista, falou do orgulho de representar o país nesta competição em que participa pela primeira vez.

Presidente moçambicano, Daniel Chapo, mantém vivo o “sonho” de ver o país transformar internamente os seus recursos naturais. Economista diz que o país ainda não tem condições para concretizar este objetivo.

Relatório mostra que o deslocamento forçado na África Oriental e Austral se prolonga por décadas, afetando gerações inteiras; Três em cada quatro refugiados continuam em exílio após cinco anos; Angola e Moçambique aparecem como países de origem.

Mientras que casi la totalidad del arsenal aéreo de la 2GM fue desechado o vendido como excedente en los Estados Unidos, el A-26 (renombrado como B-26) siguió siendo un elemento muy útil para acciones de ataque y contra-insurgencia que los nuevos reactores no podían realizar. Lo veremos en Vietnam, o lo utilizará la CIA en sus misiones de falsa bandera en Cuba u otras acciones encubiertas. Pero también en la Guerra de Angola con los rebeldes de UNITA, en la Guerra de Indochina, en la Guerra de Independencia de Indonesia, en la Guerra de Biafra, el las guerras colonialistas de Portugal, y en muchos otros conflictos menores, pero no menos sangrientos. ¿Por qué el A/B-26 logró seguir en servicio hasta 1980, con 40 años a sus espaldas? Eso es lo que te va a contar Álvaro "Kirovabad" Ruiz, acompañado de Dani CarAn. ◼️ Edición Limitada Versus Vol.1 👉 https://go.ivoox.com/sq/3153351 ◼️ Casus Belli Podcast pertenece a 🏭 Factoría Casus Belli.

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

At 16, after seven years of isolation, pain and physical and emotional abuse Christine Sadry reached a breaking point. She was battered, bruised, and could no longer see a way forward. In that moment of deep despair, she attempted to take her life. As she was slipping into unconsciousness, something deep within her stirred — a spark of life that refused to go out. She called a friend just to thank her for her friendship. Her friend heard something in Christine's voice and sensed something was wrong. That phone call saved her life. And it also became a turning point. That moment of hopelessness became the beginning of her strength.   Christine Sadry was born in Poland, behind the Iron Curtain, and was adopted in 1964 by a Polish American couple living in the United States. After graduating from West Catholic Girls High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she worked at the United States Social Security Administration from 1973 to 1979. She started her 31-year career with the United Nations in 1979, working on international conferences. Later, she began working with the United Nations peacekeeping missions in Angola, Mozambique, former Yugoslavia, Sierra Leone, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.    13 Years Lost was selected as a finalist for the Independent Book Publishers Award! The ceremony in St. Paul, Minnesota, was a beautiful celebration of literary voices and creative spirits.                                       Grab your copy NOW Christine had a deep need to give voice to her story that was buried for so long to help others who have endured pain in silence. She wanted to show that even in the face of abandonment, trauma, and isolation, it is possible to heal, to rise and to live a life with hope and meaning. Standing alone in the baggage claim of JFK International Airport, nine-year-old Christine Sario anxiously awaited the arrival of her new parents. After the untimely death of her beloved mother and the abandonment by her father, Christine was sent by her grandmother to the United States and the hope of a better future. Her resilience led her to New York City, where she started over with her daughter, Dana. There, she will begin a remarkable, exciting career at the United Nations. This is the extraordinary story of a Polish immigrant who overcame unthinkable challenges and embraced the American dream. Follow Christine as she defies the odds, travels the world, is blessed by the Pope, and finds true love. C

Angola caminha, a passos largos, para as eleições gerais de 2027. Até aqui, foram cinco eleições, um único vencedor. O MPLA governa Angola há 50 anos e em 2027 quer continuidade. A oposição promete mudança, mas divide-se nos bastidores. A UNITA propôs ao Presidente João Lourenço um Governo de Unidade Nacional. Lourenço recusou a proposta, segundo a imprensa local.

Neste programa Semana em África, voltamos à situação na RDC, a braços com a epidemia do ébola, e olhamos para as medidas que Angola começou a adoptar. Também olhamos para Cabo Delgado, onde a retoma do projecto da francesa Total gera críticas. Ainda em Moçambique, destacamos o estudo do CIP sobre o fecho de 500 empresas nos últimos dois anos. Quanto a Cabo Verde, o destaque vai para a Cimeira das Nações Crioulas. Começamos com a República Democrática do Congo, onde chegou, esta sexta-feira, o director da Organização Mundial de Saúde para tentar encontrar mais respostas para conter a epidemia de ébola. Recordo que, até ao final da semana, tinham sido registadas 246 mortes em mais de mil casos suspeitos, de acordo com um relatório do Centro Africano de Controlo e Prevenção de Doenças, a agência de saúde da União Africana. Também esta sexta-feira,foi confirmada uma recuperação, a primeira desde o início da epidemia. Entretanto, em Angola, as autoridades sanitárias intensificam as medidas de vigilância e prevenção contra o Ébola, sobretudo nas regiões fronteiriças com a República Democrática do Congo, devido ao índice de mortes provocado pela epidemia. A 23 de Maio, a agência de saúde Africa CDC alertou que Angola está entre os dez países africanos que correm o risco de ser afetados pelo vírus Ébola, além da RDC, epicentro da epidemia, e do Uganda. Um trabalho  de Francisco Paulo. Poucos meses depois de ter retomado o projecto moçambicano de gas natural liquefeito em Cabo Delgado, esta sexta-feira, a TotalEnergies reuniu-se em Paris para a sua assembleia-geral para apresentar lucros recorde. Daniel Ribeiro, da ong moçambicana Justiça Ambiental, denuncia que a situação em Cabo Delgado “continua perigosa e a insurgência activa”. Em Moçambique, um grupo de membros da Renamo submeteu à Procuradoria-Geral da República um documento com 18 mil assinaturas para impugnar a liderança de Ossufo Momade. O coordenador nacional da comissão de gestão do partido, Edgar Silva, pediu a Ossufo Momade que apresente contas. Em Moçambique, desde 2024, mais de 500 empresas fecharam e deixaram mais de 15 mil trabalhadores desempregados devido à escassez de divisas no país. A conclusão é do Centro de Integridade Pública que divulgou em Maputo um estudo sobre esta problemática, como explica a investigadora do CIP, Teresa Boene. Em Cabo Verde, arranca esta quinta-feira a Cimeira das Nações Crioulas, que decorre até ao dia 30 de Maio. Num contexto internacional marcado por guerras, intolerância e profundas desigualdades, o Presidente José Maria Neves defende que esta iniciativa pretende criar uma nova dinâmica de diálogo, assente na cooperação e na valorização das identidades crioulas. Em Cabo Verde, as mulheres representam menos de dois por cento da população prisional, mas a Comissão Nacional para os Direitos Humanos e a Cidadania alerta que esta realidade não pode esconder os desafios enfrentados pelas reclusas. A instituição defende medidas mais equitativas e condições mais dignas para o cumprimento das penas, sobretudo no contacto com os filhos menores. Odair Santos. Em São Tomé e Príncipe, a vice-presidente da ADI - Acção Democrática Independente -, Celmira Sacramento, anunciou na quarta-feira, em conferência de imprensa, que o partido apresentou uma queixa-crime no Ministério Público contra, nomeadamente, o primeiro-ministro Américo Ramos.

The practice of healthcare is inherently powerful, and our patients are vulnerable to our power. Though power can be abused, the righteous use of power, for the benefit of the vulnerable, is profoundly Christlike. We will explore the lessons of power which help us understand our roles, including the fundamental nature of professionalism and key kingdom strategies of healthcare missions.

Die Dorsland — the Thirstland — is part of the Kalahari that has an interesting history when it comes to pastoralists. The San didn't call it the Thirstland, for them it wasn't a barrier but part of a network of seasonal resource nodes. They would navigate the dry spans using sip-wells, inserting long, hollow reeds deep into the damp sand, use grass filters, and literally suck water up to store in hollowed-out ostrich eggshells buried along transit routes for future journeys. Around 2,000 to 2,500 years ago, a massive economic shift occurred when groups in northern Botswana acquired livestock, sheep and later cattle, transitioning from hunter-gatherers to pastoralists—becoming the Khoekhoe. Archaeological evidence indicates the Khoekhoe moved out of the northern Botswana/Zambezi region and split. One major migration route skirted the western edge of the Kalahari desert, moving down through modern-day Namibia and into the Northern and Western Cape with the Kalahari was the geographic pivot around which this entire pastoralist expansion rotated. Moving large herds of sheep and cattle through a Thirstland required moving between reliable pans and riverbeds like the Nossob, Auob, and Molopo rivers. They transformed the Kalahari from a hunter-gatherer landscape into a series of strategic grazing corridors. The Dorsland Trekkers were going to reverse that course to some extent, using the north western Botswana region to reach Namibia, and eventually, Angola. The Khoekhoe like the Voortrekkers, appreciated their freedom, moving in small extended family groups, their mobility part of their world-view. Instead of heading north west like the trekkers, they had headed south west for hundreds of years, arriving in Southern Africa about 2400 years ago. That was about the time parts of south-central Africa experienced a shift in rainfall, forests and dense woodlands expanded or contracted, the tsetse belts moved. If you were an early pastoralist whose entire wealth, diet, and social structure depended on cattle and sheep, a shifting tsetse belt was an existential threat. The arid margins of the Kalahari, the Namib, and the Karoo environments further south were too dry for the tsetse fly. The Karoo was a safe haven for livestock, the Namib too dessicated. In high-rainfall, tropical areas, grass grows fast but loses its nutritional value in winter, it becomes sourveld. In more arid regions like the fringes of the Kalahari and the Karoo the grass grows slower but retains its high mineral and protein content year-round, even when dry - it is sweetveld. To a sheep or cow, the arid south was an open buffet of incredibly nutritious feed. The Khoekhoe migration pushed into the Western Cape, where they hit a completely different climate zone, the winter rainfall region, so just as the summer rainfall area dried out, the Cape valleys were greening up. But where the trekkers moved northwards taking a decade and arrived Angola in 1880, the Khoekhoe migrations took hundreds of years. A gradual seeping south if you like. After the Khoekhoe, and before the Boers, the people of the Ngami area near the Okavango Delta were known as the Khwebe - from the word Kwe which simply means “people”. They dwelled close to a geographical anomaly in Botswana - the Khwebe Hills — Botswana is one of the flattest countries on earth. The Khwebe hills are a windy place and Khwebe mythology speaks of the Gas Bird which lives in a certain baobab near the upper Okavango River valley. If you listen closely, you can hear his hissing voice inside the tree. The mythology is linked to earlier San cosmology, where the word !Khwe means wind — and where the wind is a supernatural being.

We explore the role music played in the creation of a uniquely Angolan consciousness as the country struggled toward independence in the 1960s and ‘70s after centuries of colonialism. Our guides will be producer Ned Sublette, on the ground in Angola, and Dr. Marissa Moorman, historian of southern Africa, and author of Intonations: A Social History of Music in Luanda, Angola from 1945 to Recent Times. We'll hear the pathbreaking group Ngola Ritmos, who dared sing songs in Kimbundu publicly when it was prohibited by the Portuguese. We'll hear immortal voices from the age when the guitar-driven style called semba ruled, as well as some snazzy ‘60s guitar instrumentals. Produced by Ned Sublette APWW #647

In this episode, we sit down with Gerald Perreira, longtime Guyanese anti-imperialist activist, educator, and organizer, for a conversation on Cuba, U.S. power, and the unfinished struggle for true independence in the Caribbean and broader Global South. We unpack the tightening of U.S. pressure on Cuba, including the attack on Cuban medical brigades across the region, and examine why Guyana's recent political decisions represent a historic betrayal of transnational solidarity. From Cuba's lifesaving medical internationalism and its decisive role in defeating apartheid forces in Angola and South Africa, to the erosion of Caribbean sovereignty under neoliberalism, we trace the deeper structures of neocolonialism and empire. Perreira situates today's crises within a broader historical arc: the legacy of plantation economies, the transformation of postcolonial elites into managers of foreign interests, the limits of liberal democracy, and the rise of a global axis of resistance. Gerald A. Perreira is a liberation theologian, educator and political activist. He is chairperson of Organization for the Victory of the People (OVP) based in Guyana, a member of the Governing  Council of the Global Pan African Movement (Harare) and an executive member of the Caribbean Pan-African Network (CPAN). He lived in the Libyan Jamahiriya for many years and was a founding member of the World Mathaba.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, a premature end to the Operation Epic Fury, without fully eliminating the regime, risks repeating the mistakes after World War I, when a devastated Germany gave rise to the Third Reich and led to World War II and the Holocaust. Meanwhile, we have the opposition in America from the neo-fascists, Marxists, Islamists, Woke Reich, and parts of the media who are trying to tie the administration's hands by opposing any troops, regime change, or action on the uranium, effectively ensuring America cannot win. Also, the U.S. and allies need to arm Iranian people immediately! One thing we can do, which Reagan did in Afghanistan, Angola, and Nicaragua, is arm the people in Iran so they are no longer butchered by these monsters without the ability to fight back!  They will rise up as a real fighting force, but they need weapons!  And it must be done immediately, especially if we are talking about ending our military operation in a few weeks! Later, it was announced that President Trump will give an Address to the Nation Wednesday on Iran. A President usually gives a speech like this if he's changing course on the war.  Afterward, Judge Leon blocks Trump White House ballroom project for now. Leon is a former Republican staffer on Capitol Hill. A RINO. Finally, Rep Chip Roy calls in to give an update on his race for Texas Attorney General. Learn more about your ad choices.
