Chinese construction giant Sinohydro signed a $100 million deal with Angola to build out the country's agricultural infrastructure in a bid to boost grain production. While 60% of the output from this venture will be shipped to China, the rest will be sold domestically in a move aimed at reducing the West African country's food import bill. The Sinohydro news followed an even larger agriculture announcement between the two countries when Chinese conglomerate Citic signed a $250 million contract to develop large-scale soybean and corn farms in Angola. Géraud and Cobus discuss why the timing of these deals is so interesting as China moves quickly to reduce its reliance on wheat, soy, and corn imports from the U.S. JOIN THE DISCUSSION: X: @ChinaGSProject | @stadenesque | @christiangeraud Facebook: www.facebook.com/ChinaAfricaProject YouTube: www.youtube.com/@ChinaGlobalSouth Now on Bluesky!

L'Italien ENI, l'exception pétrolière qui parie sur les énergies vertes

À contre-courant des autres majors pétrolières, l'italien ENI s'engage dans une transition énergétique ambitieuse. Son objectif, faire en sorte que ses profits issus des énergies bas-carbone dépassent ceux du pétrole d'ici 2040. Une stratégie pragmatique et rentable, qui pourrait redéfinir le modèle économique du secteur. Alors que Shell et BP réduisent leurs investissements dans les énergies renouvelables, ENI affiche des ambitions claires : atteindre la parité entre profits fossiles et bas-carbone d'ici 2035, avant de faire basculer l'avantage aux énergies vertes cinq ans plus tard. Le groupe a présenté cette stratégie dans le Financial Times, rompant avec la tendance générale au repli face aux incertitudes du secteur. BP, par exemple, a récemment vendu ses parcs éoliens terrestres aux États-Unis, tandis que Shell a mis fin à ses projets d'éolien en mer pour se concentrer sur le gaz naturel liquéfié. À lire aussiInvestir dans le renouvelable ou pas, le dilemme des compagnies pétrolières Des filiales rentables pour garantir la transition Pour atteindre ses objectifs, ENI ne mise pas sur un modèle monolithique, mais sur la création de deux filiales indépendantes et spécialisées. L'une pour les activités fossiles, l'autre pour le renouvelable. Ces entités, pensées comme des satellites autour de la maison-mère, ont généré à elles seules près de 600 millions d'euros de bénéfices sur le premier semestre 2025. Résultat : un regain de confiance des investisseurs, avec 3,8 milliards d'euros de liquidités collectés en quelques mois. Ces filiales représentent désormais près de la moitié de la valorisation boursière d'ENI. Une diversification géographique et financière calculée Au-delà de son modèle économique, ENI s'appuie sur une diversification géographique intelligente via des co-entreprises avec des partenaires solides comme Petronas en Asie ou BP en Angola. Cette approche lui permet de limiter les risques tout en poursuivant sa croissance. En capitalisant sur les revenus du pétrole pour financer sa mutation verte, le groupe entend prouver qu'une transition énergétique rentable est non seulement souhaitable, mais possible. Si le pari est réussi, ENI pourrait devenir un modèle pour l'industrie pétrolière mondiale.

Binelde Hyrcan: “A arte é como um colete à prova de bala”

O artista angolano, Binelde Hyrcan, nome incontornável da arte contemporânea angolana, regressa ao centro das atenções com um feito simbólico: a sua video-instalação Cambeck passou a integrar a coleção permanente do Brooklyn Museum, em Nova Iorque. A obra, criada em 2010, quando ainda era estudante, ganha agora nova vida e significado num dos maiores museus do mundo. Em entrevista, o artista revela-nos as raízes, os contextos e as metáforas por trás desta peça feita de areia, palavras e sonhos infantis. “Queria contar um pouco da minha história”, começa por explicar Binelde. “Na altura eram temas não muito positivos, porque muita gente onde eu vivia estava a ser enviada para uma outra zona que é o actual Zango.” Foi neste ambiente de deslocação e incerteza que surgiu Cambeck, uma instalação onde quatro crianças brincam na areia, desenhando com palavras e gestos os contornos de um futuro idealizado. “Peguei nessas crianças, porque são as mais reais. Acho que elas transmitem mesmo a realidade, também a pureza do contexto que estavam a viver”, descreve. O vídeo, apesar de ter mais de uma década, permanece de uma actualidade inquietante. “O tema abordado é a imigração. Muitos de nós africanos temos o sonho de atravessar o Mediterrâneo ou o Atlântico para ir para a América”, conta. “E hoje estamos a viver um parêntese muito triste, ao meu ver, com os imigrantes nos Estados Unidos que são reenviados para os seus países de origem, onde não têm quase nenhuma raiz”. Cambeck surge, assim, como uma denúncia subtil e poética, mas também como um espelho da realidade global. “Os miúdos sonham naquela América… E nós todos já conhecemos como é que está a ser a realidade para essas pessoas que têm sonho”. Ao filmar crianças a conduzirem sonhos numa viatura imaginária desenhada no chão, com areia, Binelde Hyrcan criou uma metáfora sobre desigualdade social. Questionado se a arte pode ser um veículo real de mobilidade ou apenas um espaço de evasão, responde: “A arte é como um colete à prova de bala. Hoje estamos a ver a guerra na Palestina, e pouca gente reage sobre essa situação, também por causa da falta de disseminação cultural. [...] Se amanhã alguém tentar bombardear o Rio de Janeiro, todo o mundo dirá: ‘Não, meu Deus, é o país do Neymar, do samba'. Mas se falarmos da Palestina… é só mais um morto”. Binelde Hyrcan defende a cultura como “colector verbal”, um escudo contra a indiferença e a violência. “Hoje, sei que há um ponto dentro daquele museu onde se diz Angola, onde se vão ver aqueles miúdos a brincarem com um potencial incrível. E vamos talvez descobrir que também nesse país há vida simplesmente”, sublinha. O artista, conhecido por obras provocadoras como As Galinhas Imperiais ou os célebres “tronos de excremento”, mistura o absurdo, a crítica e o humor como estratégias de resistência e esperança. “A ironia é a última coisa a morrer”, acrescentando que acredito "no povo africano, acredito na juventude africana. Lanço o apelo para que nos mantenhamos juntos e solidários, porque é a única forma que temos de fazer algo”. Fazer arte em Angola, admite, é um desafio: “Se não fosse difícil, não teria mesmo poesia. Nasci em tempo de guerra e hoje tenho um olhar diferente perante a sociedade, perante a vida. Vamos tentar tirar aquele lado positivo das derrotas que às vezes temos enquanto crianças.” Além do sucesso internacional com Cambeck , Binelde Hyrcan acaba de inaugurar em Luanda a sua escultura Yellow Dream, uma composição de bidões e balões amarelos que simboliza o sonho e a resistência. “Quando vemos balões no chão é porque a festa acabou. Mas os balões deveriam estar no ar. É como se dissesse: ainda há um problema a resolver. E o sonho continua”. Actualmente a preparar uma grande exposição no Palais des Papes, em Avingnon, para 2026, onde voltará a apresentar Cambeck , o artista angolano antecipa também o lançamento do seu livro sobre a caminhada épica que fez, a pé, entre Lisboa e Paris. “A cultura é uma plataforma onde as pessoas esquecem o mal”, acredita com convicção.

Protestos em Angola: "A população está a ver que o Governo não está minimamente preocupado"

A violência vivida em Luanda na segunda-feira com barricadas nas estradas e pilhagens é um sintoma da insatisfação dos angolanos face ao aumento do custo de vida e à falta de futuro dos jovens angolanos, com a população a revoltar-se face à indiferença dos dirigentes políticos. Em Angola, segunda-feira foi marcada por um dia de violência na capital, com cinco mortos, várias lojas pilhadas e confrontos entre populares e polícias após os aumentos dos custos dos combustíveis terem levado à greve dos táxis, que transportam quase 90% da populaçõa de Luanda e arredores no dia-a-dia. Hoje a principal cidade angolana está calma, mas as razões do descontentamento mantêm-se, já que ao aumento dos combustíveis se vem juntar um aumento geral dos preços que torna difícil a vida da população como descreve a activista angolana Laura Macedo em entrevista à RFI. "A baixa de Luanda está tranquila. Estamos a ouvir relatos de que há ainda alguns focos de cidadãos a tentarem assaltar algumas lojas, alguns empreendimentos. Mas desde ontem que estão todos fechados. Todas as lojas ontem à tarde estavam todas fechadas. Luanda neste momento está parada", explicou a activista. Há várias semanas que um grupo de figuras da sociedade civil, incluindo Laura Macedo, estão a organizar protestos contra o aumento dos combustíveis, mas essas passeatas pacíficas nunca conseguiram ser levadas até ao fim devido à intervenção da polícia. "Os angolanos estão há uns anos a passar por muitas dificuldades, com os seus rendimentos a não chegarem para por o básico em casa. Mesmo as pessoas da classe média, o custo de vida está tão alto que não se consegue. E espoletou, com a subida dos combustíveis, o aumento dos transportes, que são os táxis colectivos, porque nós não temos transportes públicos. Quem pagava 700 kwanzas numa viagem está a pagar 1800 ou 1400 kwanzas porque estes carros passaram a fazer rotas curtas, subiram o preço porque o Governo autorizou que eles subissem os preços. O governo ao tentar calar a revolta ou uma possível revolta destes transportadores privados sobre o aumento do preço dos combustíveis provocou um descontentamento maior na população. Portanto, a população está a ver que o governo não está minimamente preocupado com eles. Então isto gera uma revolta", indicou Laura Macedo. Este aumento dos combustíveis é ainda mais difícil de compreender pela população já que acontece num país produtor de petróleo, um paradoxo difícil de aceitar para os angolanos. "Este é um paradoxo que a gente está a viver desde que somos independentes e que se vêm e que vem vindo a agudizar. Outra revolta grande que a população tem é o facto do Presidente da República estar preocupado em aparecer lá fora, em aparecer bem e está a fazer uma comemoração dos 50 anos da independência como se nós fossemos um povo feliz. Não, nós não somos um povo feliz. Ele próprio, presidente da República, não é um homem feliz. Ele não pode ser um homem feliz, porque da maneira que nós temos a situação, como é que você vai, por exemplo, aceitar que continuem a ver crianças na rua que continua a ver a seca no sul de Angola a atirar pessoas para a morte. [...] O paradoxo é a governação que o MPLA nos infringe. A má governação que eles nos infringem. Este é o paradoxo. E neste momento ainda há gente na rua à procura de onde é que vai assaltar. Nós temos miúdos completamente desenfreados. A culpa é deles? A culpa é dos pais deles? Não, a culpa é do sistema, porque nós temos um sistema que proporciona este tipo de atitude", concluiu Laura Macedo.

Neste programa, retomamos alguns dos assuntos africanos que abordámos nos nossos noticiários, como a visita do Presidente de Angola a Portugal, a promessa de cessar-fogo na RDC e as acusações do Ministério Público contra o líder da oposição moçambicana Venâncio Mondlane. O ministro do Interior da República Democrática do Congo disse que o país está "perto" da paz, em referência ao acordo assinado, no sábado passado, com o grupo armado M23. Sérgio Calundungo, coordenador do Observatório Político e Social de Angola, olha com prudência para o texto assinado em Doha, no Qatar. O Presidente angolano, João Lourenço, está em visita oficial dias a Portugal. A viagem coincide com o debate à volta da recente aprovação no parlamento português de novas disposições da lei de estrangeiros e João Lourenço admitiu que existe “algum incómodo”. Porém, esta sexta-feira, em Lisboa, João Lourenço disse que as relações entre Angola e Portugal nunca estiveram a um nível tão alto e que o objectivo é melhorar. Entretanto, o Tribunal de Comarca de Luanda decretou a prisão preventiva para Osvaldo Caholo, co-organizador das manifestações contra o aumento dos combustíveis. O activista foi detido há uma semana, em casa. Em Moçambique, na terça-feira, o Ministério Público acusou o ex-candidato presidencial Venâncio Mondlane de cinco crimes, incluindo o de "incitação ao terrorismo", no âmbito dos protestos que marcaram o país depois das eleições gerais de 9 de Outubro. O Governo garantiu que não há ingerência do poder executivo nos tribunais, mas para o activista moçambicano Wilker Dias "o mais provável que tentem retirar Venâncio Mondlane de cena". Em Cabo Delgado, no norte do país, em resposta a novos ataques, o governador Valige Tauabo anunciou a reintrodução de escoltas militares ao longo da Estrada Nacional Número 380. No centro de Moçambique, a cidade de Mocuba, na província da Zambézia, vai acolher a futura sede do parlamento. A decisão foi anunciada pelo Presidente da República, Daniel Chapo, para quem a intenção responde à visão de descentralização das instituições governamentais. Também no centro de Moçambique, desde Janeiro foram registados 46 mil casos de turberculose, com enfoque para as províncias da Zambézia, Sofala e Tete. Os dados foram revelados pela directora do programa nacional de combate à tuberculose, Benedita José.  Na Guiné-Bissau, para reivindicar 18 meses de salários em atraso e melhoria de condições laborais, os técnicos do sector da saúde estiveram esta semana em greve. Em Cabo Verde, com a nova Maternidade e Pediatria, a ilha de São Vicente passa a contar com a unidade hospitalar mais moderna do país. O empreendimento da saúde, avaliado em 1,2 milhões de contos, cerca de 11 milhões de euros, é financiado e construído pela República Popular da China. Na cultura, Cabo Verde perdeu o artista Kiki Lima. O pintor e compositor, de 72 anos, morreu na madrugada de domingo e foi um dos mais aclamados pintores do país. Em Abril de 2022, Kiki Lima contou à RFI que “sempre” retratou o povo de Cabo Verde.

2005 – Twenty Years OnNext Monday one of the most historic and transformative events in the Irish Peace Process took place. Twenty years ago on the 28 July 2005 the IRA issued a statement which ended its decades long armed struggle. In its statement the IRA said: "The leadership of Óglaigh na hÉireann has formally ordered an end to the armed campaign. This will take effect from 4pm this afternoon.  All IRA units have been ordered to dump arms. All Volunteers have been instructed to assist the development of purely political and democratic programmes through exclusively peaceful means. Volunteers must not engage in any other activities whatsoever.”The IRA leadership also said that it had authorised its representative to engage with the IICD (Independent International Commission on Decommissioning) to “complete the process to verifiably put its arms beyond use in a way which will further enhance public confidence.” This was confirmed two months later on the 26 September by the Commission.The IRA initiative opened up opportunities for progress.Peace processes are by their very nature challenging and difficult. They frequently fail. Many of the wars of the 1960s and 70's were a response to the colonial occupation and exploitation of native peoples by colonial powers.  Africa saw many examples of these. Some conflicts went on into the 1980s and 90s. Algeria, Kenya, Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia), Angola, Mozambique, and others, including in Asia the Vietnam War and in the Middle East the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories. The South African peace process brought an end to apartheid and witnessed the election of Nelson Mandela as President of that country in 1994. In our own place our peace process brought an end to decades of conflict and heralded processes of change.Today, in a world still bedevilled by wars, the Irish Peace Process is frequently held up internationally as an example of a peace process that is working.  The governments occasionally try to root it in the Anglo-Irish Agreement of 1985. But the truth is that it started in the 1970s when Republicans began to claim back the word ‘Peace.'A Welcome Electoral ChangeThe decision, announced last week by the British government, that it will be lowering the voting age to those aged 16 and 17, is a welcome move. There is already widespread support for a reduction in the voting age. Last September the Assembly backed a Sinn Féin motion calling for this change. In the South the policy has received widespread cross-party support from Sinn Féin, Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, The Green Party, The Labour Party, Social Democrats, People Before Profit, and many Independents.The London government is focussed on the 2029 Westminster election but the North will have local government and Assembly elections in 2027. The focus now must be on ensuring that the necessary legislative steps are taken to ensure that 16 and 17 year olds can vote in those elections.Updating the electoral register and ensuring that this new tranche of young voters have suitable identification, will be a big job of work but with political will it can be done. It would also send entirely the wrong message to future voters if the 2027 deadline is missed.Legislating for young people to have the right to vote is the right thing to do. All parties in the North, with the exception of the DUP, support changing the voting rules. Young people should have the right to vote on decisions that impact on their lives, including voting for a united Ireland.Gaels le Cheile In Conversation with Peter CanavanMonday 28th July, 7:30pm - Naomh Eoin CLG Corrigan Park

Full-Time RV Van Living with Michelle Miller, aka The Farm Babe Life Off the Grid and On the Road Agriculture advocate and global speaker Michelle Miller, better known as The Farm Babe, joins us to talk about what it's really like to live full-time in an RV—and why she traded traditional roots for the nomadic lifestyle. Why RV Life Works for Advocates Michelle shares how being mobile helps her connect with diverse ag communities, document real farming stories, and bust myths about food and agriculture on the go. From cornfields to coastline, her mission doesn't stop when the wheels are rolling. Featured Guest: Michelle Miller, The Farm Babe https://thefarmbabe.com/ Horses & Mules at the Forefront of Texas Flood Recovery In the aftermath of the deadly July 4 flash floods in Texas' Kerr County—one of the worst inland flooding events in recent memory—search and recovery teams are turning to a timeless ally:  that's right, horses and mules.   Why? Because where debris-strewn banks and unstable terrain block vehicles, these animals can still go. Mounted teams are working alongside an army of responders: helicopters, airboats, search dogs, drones, and cadaver dogs. It's part of one of the largest inland flood recovery operations in U.S. history. These Mounted teams are combing the Guadalupe River's rugged, debris-filled areas. They're able to reach pockets of woods, riverbanks, and ravines that rescue boats and crews couldn't access. At the same time, they are helping transport rescuers, volunteers, and even supplies through terrain too treacherous for trucks or trailers. Equine teams are proving to be more than symbols—they're assets, bridging gaps between modern technology and natural limitations. Jay Cutler's Legal Hunt Sparks Outrage — But the Real Story Hits Different Well, it looks like former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler is in hot water—not for a bad pass, but for a perfect shot on a hunting trip in South Africa. Jay posted a photo of himself with a sable antelope he legally hunted, and the internet lost its mind. Keyboard critics called it cruel, accused him of killing a "critically endangered" species, and slammed him for everything from animal rights to ego. But here's the truth: they got the antelope wrong. Jay hunted a common sable, which is legal, ethical, and not endangered. The animal some folks are confusing it with—the giant sable—is endangered, but it only lives in central Angola, nowhere near South Africa. So yeah, the internet outrage? Pretty misinformed. And here's the kicker—hunts like Jay's actually help fund conservation. In countries like South Africa, those guided hunts pour money into habitat preservation, anti-poaching, and wildlife protection. Did Jay apologize? Nope. He doubled down, posting more pics and videos, writing: “Another great day.” And hey, if you're on the hunter's side, you know—it was a clean hunt, from  a healthy herd, and for a good cause. So before folks throw stones from their smartphones, maybe take a closer look at the facts—and the antelope.

The history of the world's most successful military alliance, from the wrecked Europe of 1945 to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. As they signed NATO into being after World War II, its founders fervently believed that only if the West's democracies banded permanently together could they avoid a catastrophic global atomic conflict. Over the 75 years since, the alliance has indeed avoided war with Russia, also becoming a major political, strategic and diplomatic player well beyond its borders. It has survived disagreements between leaders from Eisenhower, Churchill and de Gaulle to Trump, Stoltenberg and Merkel, faced down Kremlin foes from Stalin to Putin and endured unending questions and debate over what new nations might be allowed to join. Deterring Armageddon: A Biography of NATO (Hachette UK, 2024) takes the reader from backroom deals that led to NATO's creation, through the Cold War, the Balkans and Afghanistan to the current confrontation with the Kremlin following the invasion of Ukraine. It examines the tightrope walked by alliance leaders between a powerful United States sometimes flirting with isolationism and European nations with their ever-evolving wishes for autonomy and influence. Having spent much of its life preparing for conflicts that might never come, NATO has sometimes found itself in wars that few had predicted – and with its members now again planning for a potential major European conflict. It is a tale of tension, danger, rivalry, conflict, big personalities and high-stakes military and diplomatic posturing – as well as espionage, politics and protest. From the Korean War to the pandemic, the Berlin and Cuba crises to the chaotic evacuation from Kabul, Deterring Armageddon tells how the alliance has shaped and been shaped by history – and looks ahead to what might be the most dangerous era it has ever faced. Peter Apps is global defence correspondent for Reuters news agency and is currently on sabbatical as executive director of the Project for Study of the 21st Century (PS21).

Deterring Armageddon: A Biography of NATO (Hachette UK, 2024) takes the reader from backroom deals that led to NATO's creation, through the Cold War, the Balkans and Afghanistan to the current confrontation with the Kremlin following the invasion of Ukraine. It examines the tightrope walked by alliance leaders between a powerful United States sometimes flirting with isolationism and European nations with their ever-evolving wishes for autonomy and influence. Having spent much of its life preparing for conflicts that might never come, NATO has sometimes found itself in wars that few had predicted – and with its members now again planning for a potential major European conflict. It is a tale of tension, danger, rivalry, conflict, big personalities and high-stakes military and diplomatic posturing – as well as espionage, politics and protest. From the Korean War to the pandemic, the Berlin and Cuba crises to the chaotic evacuation from Kabul, Deterring Armageddon tells how the alliance has shaped and been shaped by history – and looks ahead to what might be the most dangerous era it has ever faced.

 What if two haunted houses, abandoned and forgotten, were spiritually—and literally—connected? In this chilling episode, we head to Angola, Indiana, where a young mother's new home quickly reveals a darker side. From phantom cries and mysterious scratches on a baby's face to a teenage boy haunted by a cloud of black smoke, the terror only grew. Spirits whispered to children, shadows emerged from vents, and a psychic uncovered portals… and something worse: hellhounds. Years later, the two cursed homes were mysteriously combined—just as the psychic had warned. Was it fate, madness, or something darker pulling the strings? This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.
