« Durant son année passée à la tête de l'Union africaine, João Lourenço a montré sa capacité à dire, puis à agir sans détour, relate Jeune Afrique. L'Angolais en a de nouveau fait la preuve, samedi, avant de rendre son tablier de président de l'institution et de le confier au Burundais Évariste Ndayishimiye. » En effet, João Lourenço a prévenu : « lorsque nous évoquons la nécessité de rétablir l'ordre constitutionnel après une prise de pouvoir inconstitutionnelle, nous ne voulons pas dire qu'il est rétabli dès lors que les auteurs du coup d'État organisent des élections et se font élire. » En résumé, pas de blanc-seing pour les putschistes qui s'abritent derrière un paravent démocratique… « Parmi les chefs d'État et de gouvernement présents, deux d'entre eux, au moins, n'ont pas ovationné la tirade, relève Jeune Afrique : le président de la Guinée, Mamadi Doumbouya, et celui du Gabon, Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema. Les deux ex-militaires ont été élus en 2025 après des périodes de transition, et surtout après avoir chassé du pouvoir leurs prédécesseurs, Alpha Condé en 2021 pour le premier et Ali Bongo Ondimba en 2023 pour le second. » Reste que les deux dirigeants guinéens et gabonais ont été invités officiellement à ce 39e sommet de l'UA. « Ce sommet marque donc le retour de deux “bons putschistes“, comme ils sont parfois surnommés à l'international, parce que, affirme encore Jeune Afrique, ils ont su mettre en place un chronogramme, organiser des élections et permettre un retour à l'ordre constitutionnel. » Incantations ? « Naïveté » ou alors volonté de se donner « bonne conscience », commente Ledjely. « Peut-on sérieusement croire que de simples incantations, érigées en slogans, suffiront à relever un défi aussi structurel ? », s'exclame le site guinéen. « Comment l'Union africaine peut-elle opportunément s'ériger en gendarme anti-coups d'État, alors que sa réaction a parfois tardé ou manqué de vigueur face aux crises post-électorales ? Par quel miracle espère-t-elle voir disparaître les coups d'État, quand les violations des droits humains et des libertés fondamentales sont rarement sanctionnées avec fermeté ? (…) Une chose devrait pourtant s'imposer, assène encore Ledjely : la fin des coups d'État ne se décrète pas. Elle constitue l'aboutissement d'un processus politique et institutionnel. Cela suppose d'attaquer à la racine les causes profondes des ruptures constitutionnelles : gouvernance opaque, exclusion politique, corruption, inégalités persistantes, instrumentalisation des institutions. » Et les coups d'État « constitutionnels » ? Au Burkina Faso — dont le dirigeant arrivé au pouvoir par les armes, Ibrahim Traoré, n'était pas invité — le site d'information WakatSéra ne mâche pas ses mots envers l'Union africaine : « la voix de l'institution porte-t-elle encore ? (…) Comment s'opposer aux prises de pouvoir par les armes, alors que des chefs d'État, comme le Gabonais Oligui Nguema et le Guinéen Mamadi Doumbouya, présents à Addis-Abeba, ont pris la clé du palais présidentiel par effraction, avant de se faire une virginité par les urnes ? Que fait-on des contre-exemples démocratiques au Tchad, en Guinée-Bissau et à Madagascar ? Comment empêcher les coups d'État militaires en laissant prospérer ceux institutionnels, s'interroge encore WakatSéra, qui ont frappé récemment la Côte d'Ivoire et le Cameroun, avec le quatrième quinquennat consécutif de l'Ivoirien Alassane Ouattara et le huitième septennat du Camerounais, l'inoxydable Paul Biya ? » Le Pays, toujours au Burkina, renchérit : « Les propos virulents du président sortant de l'UA, Joao Lourenço, contre ce qu'il qualifie “d'élections qui blanchissent les coups d'État“, risquent d'être comme de l'eau sur les plumes d'un canard. On est d'autant plus fondé à le penser que l'UA passe son temps à condamner les coups d'État militaires tout en fermant les yeux sur les coups d'État constitutionnels. » Sénégal : le soupçon de la bavure policière… Enfin, à la Une également, le Sénégal, avec la polémique qui se poursuit, une semaine après la mort d'Abdoulaye Ba à l'université de Dakar. « Clash entre le procureur et le collectif des médecins », titre Walf Quotidien. La justice sénégalaise affirme que l'étudiant n'est pas mort sous les coups de la police. Faux, rétorque le Collectif des médecins du Sénégal, qui s'appuie sur le rapport d'autopsie. Un rapport, authentifié par RFI ce week-end, et par Le Monde Afrique qui constate pas moins de « 16 lésions sévères » sur le corps de l'étudiant qui ont provoqué de « multiples hémorragies internes. » Autant d'éléments qui confirment l'hypothèse selon laquelle Abdoulaye Ba aurait été victime d'une bavure policière.

Burkina Faso, Gabon, RDC… La liste des États où les Émirats arabes unis investissent s'est allongée ces derniers mois. Les annonces de financements d'infrastructures se multiplient. Abou Dhabi, acteur dont l'implication dans certains conflits régionaux fait polémique, s'est néanmoins imposé comme un partenaire commercial incontournable ces dernières années. Comment analyser cet attrait des gouvernements africains pour ce partenaire ? Travail sur la filière or, construction du port commercial de Banana à l'embouchure du Congo, accords commerciaux sur 6 000 produits… Julien Paluku, ministre congolais du Commerce, rentre d'une visite très fructueuse d'Abou Dhabi : « Nous exploitons une disponibilité qui est à même de devoir nous accompagner aux côtés d'autres partenariats que nous avons tissés avec d'autres pays à travers le monde. » Abou Dhabi s'est imposé comme l'un des principaux partenaires commerciaux de la RDC, car l'un de ses points forts provient de sa capacité à investir dans les projets. « Pour qu'elle se développe après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, l'Europe a bénéficié d'un plan Marshall. Des milliards de dollars ont été investis pour que l'Europe puisse recouvrer sa santé », rappelle le ministre. « Et donc la RDC aussi, après tous ces moments de turbulences, est à la recherche de capitaux frais et se dirige vers des capitaux frais. Et les Émirats arabes unis constituent une destination importante où les capitaux sont disponibles pour pouvoir échanger avec nous et transformer notre potentiel en richesse. C'est donc dans ce sens que nous nous tournons vers les Émirats arabes unis », explique-t-il. À lire aussiLa RDC et les Émirats arabes unis ont signé un accord économique global à Abou Dhabi Les Émirats adoptent « une approche business to business » De nombreux dirigeants africains se sont succédé à Abou Dhabi ces derniers mois. Pour Oscar Lafay – ex-consultant senior de chez Deloitte, la percée des Émirats arabes unis est nette. « Ce qu'on observe avec cette percée émiratie, c'est la fin d'un monopole des puissances traditionnelles, analyse l'expert. En quatre ans, ils sont devenus le premier investisseur du continent avec plus de 110 milliards d'euros injectés. Et ils sont devenus en effet le grand argentier, là où le FMI ou les banques de développement sont plus lentes. » Autre aspect plus politique, les Émirats ont l'avantage d'avoir la neutralité postcoloniale. « C'est un grand atout puisqu'ils n'ont aucun passif historique sur le continent et ils proposent donc une approche business to business qui est très attrayante pour les différents acteurs africains », poursuit Oscar Lafay. « Et enfin, ils ont un pragmatisme transactionnel, avec une agilité pure qui leur permet d'investir là où les autres ont peur, comme récemment au Burkina, où les questions sécuritaires ou politiques ne leur font pas peur », souligne-t-il. À lire aussiKinshasa mise sur un partenariat avec Abou Dhabi pour reprendre la main sur l'or de l'Est de la RDC Un puissant réseau d'entreprises détenu par l'État Et pour faire avancer cette ambition, les Émirats s'appuient sur leur puissant réseau d'entreprises : « Il faut comprendre que ce réseau d'entreprises est finalement un réseau étatique, puisque l'influence aux Émirats arabes unis d'Abou Dhabi sur le business est très puissante. Et donc ces entreprises sont des leviers pour le pouvoir émirati afin de s'implanter durablement en Afrique. Ce qui est important avec les entreprises émiraties, c'est de comprendre leur capitalisation. Souvent plus de 20 à 30 %, voire plus, du capital est détenu par l'État. Donc, dans ce cas-là, ces entreprises sont des leviers étatiques. » Les Émirats arabes unis semblent bien déterminés à profiter du contexte international de recomposition des partenariats commerciaux et de la baisse drastique de l'aide publique au développement.

Record Resources CEO Michael Judson joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's significant oil exploration and development strategy in Gabon, with a particular focus on the large-scale Ngulu block. Judson described Gabon as one of Africa's most established oil-producing nations, highlighting its long production history, supportive regulatory environment, and strong infrastructure. He pointed to the nearby oil services hub of Port-Gentil as a key strategic advantage, providing access to experienced service providers, logistics, and export infrastructure. The Ngulu block, which Judson described as comparable in size to “50 or 60 blocks in the Gulf of Mexico,” represents a substantial exploration opportunity. Record Resources currently holds a 20% interest in the project after bringing in ReconAfrica as a joint venture partner. Judson explained that the decision to partner was strategic, noting that ReconAfrica brings a significantly stronger balance sheet and has committed to funding the first US$20 million of project development costs. The initial phase of activity will focus on appraising the historical Loba discovery, originally drilled by French companies in the 1970s. That well encountered approximately 70 metres of oil pay, but was never fully developed. The current plan includes drilling two appraisal wells, with the goal of rapidly establishing production of up to 10,000 barrels per day, potentially scaling to 20,000 barrels per day within two years if results are successful. Judson also emphasized the value of extensive historical seismic data provided by the Gabonese government. He estimated that replicating such a dataset today could cost in excess of US$50 million, underscoring the strategic and financial advantage this information provides as the company advances its exploration program. Beyond the Loba discovery, the Ngulu block hosts 28 additional identified prospects that remain untested. Combined with its proximity to existing discoveries and infrastructure, Judson described the project as being positioned in what he called “the last oil frontier” in Africa, offering significant upside potential as development progresses. #proactiveinvestors #tsxv #rec #mining #recordresources #OilAndGas #NguluBlock #GabonOil #OilExploration #AfricanEnergy #ReconAfrica #LobaDiscovery #EnergyDevelopment #OilAndGas #UpstreamEnergy #AppraisalDrilling #BarrelsPerDay #EnergyInfrastructure #FrontierExploration #GlobalEnergy #SeismicData #PortGentil #ResourceOpportunity

Those who hope to honor God and advance Jesus' Kingdom face powerful opposition from spiritual, physical, and psychological enemies. Successful launching and long term fruitfulness depends on recognizing and, in dependence on the Holy Spirit, waging war against those enemies.

Le Gabon est secoué par un mouvement social qui perdure. Depuis la fin d'année dernière, les enseignants sont en grève. Ils exigent des recrutements, des avancements dans leur parcours, ainsi qu'une revalorisation des salaires – gelés depuis plus de dix ans maintenant. C'est la première crise sociale à laquelle est confronté le président Brice Oligui Nguema depuis la fin de la transition l'an dernier. Une crise qui ne surprend pas son principal adversaire politique, l'ancien Premier ministre Alain-Claude Bilie-By-Nze, désormais dans l'opposition avec son parti Ensemble pour le Gabon. Il est le grand invité Afrique de Sidy Yansané. RFI : Depuis décembre dernier, une grève des enseignants est en cours au Gabon, elle est même en train de s'intensifier. Etes-vous surpris par cette grève qui perdure depuis deux mois maintenant ? Alain-Claude Bilie-By-Nze : Vous savez, lorsqu'on augmente le nombre de députés et de sénateurs, qu'on augmente les salaires des parlementaires et la masse salariale de la présidence, on ne peut pas s'étonner que les enseignants qui, depuis des années, ont des problèmes d'intégration, de salaire et qu'ils revendiquent leurs droits. Aujourd'hui, ils ne demandent pas des droits nouveaux, mais que les droits acquis et prévus par les textes soient respectés. Donc, il n'y a pas de surprise à ce mouvement. Ce qui est étonnant même, c'est que le gouvernement semble totalement déconnecté, ne comprend pas ce qui se passe. Les Gabonais constatent que, pour eux, rien n'a changé mais, par contre, pour la nouvelle élite dirigeante, tout a changé en mieux. Pour les Gabonais, ça change en pire. Mais pourtant, vous étiez-vous même Premier ministre avant la chute d'Ali Bongo et l'accession au pouvoir de Brice Oligui Nguema. Vous avez même participé pendant toute une décennie à quasiment tous les gouvernements successifs de l'ancien pouvoir. Vous disiez récemment sur TV5 que la crise actuelle n'est pas une crise nouvelle. Finalement, n'êtes-vous pas un peu comptable et co-responsable de la situation actuelle ? Quand j'ai quitté mes fonctions, la dette du pays était à 56 % du PIB, aujourd'hui elle est passée à 73 % et l'année prochaine, on sera à 85 % ! Et c'est cela le vrai enjeu. En deux mois et demi, les nouvelles autorités ont surendetté le pays dans des projets sans aucun impact social avéré, avec des promesses tous azimuts et en donnant des marchés à des copains. Henri-Claude Oyima, qui était ministre de l'Économie et des finances, dans un conflit d'intérêt patent, nous a révélé que 89 % des marchés au Gabon ont été attribués par entente directe. Donc, il y a de la corruption et on ne peut pas continuer à accuser le régime déchu. Oligui Nguema est dans ce système depuis Omar Bongo, longtemps avant moi. Il gouverne avec les mêmes personnes qui étaient là avec moi, il n'y a pas de rupture dans ce système. À la crise sociale s'ajoute une crise économique qui, là aussi, n'est pas forcément nouvelle. Le Gabon vient de tendre la main au FMI pour mettre en œuvre « un programme de croissance », selon l'actuel ministre de l'Économie, Thierry Minko. Selon vous, cet appui du FMI annonce-t-il un futur plan d'austérité ? D'abord, si c'était une crise économique régionale où systémique, ça se saurait. C'est une crise qui est liée à des mauvais choix d'investissement et de non-diversification de l'économie. Soixante-cinq ans après les indépendances, c'est toujours les mêmes trois produits d'exportation que nous avons. Le pétrole continue à peser 40 % de nos ressources propres et 60 % de nos ressources d'exportation. C'est la mal gouvernance qui entraine cela. Aller chercher le FMI, c'est à la fois une bonne nouvelle car ça veut dire qu'il y aura un peu plus de transparence dans les finances publiques, une traçabilité. Mais aller chercher le FMI, c'est aussi une mauvaise nouvelle parce qu'on connait les recettes du FMI, et le ministre de l'Économie n'aura pas de marge de manœuvre. Cette loi de finances qui a été adoptée, ses hypothèses sont fausses. Elles le sont aussi bien sur le calcul des recettes, sur la question des emprunts, que sur les projections de croissance. Il faut la refaire. Au lieu de baisser les dépenses publiques, ils accroissent aujourd'hui la question des impôts, tout va coûter encore plus cher. Vous avez fondé le parti Ensemble pour le Gabon. Clairement, que proposez-vous comme alternative ? Qu'auriez-vous fait de différent, vous qui étiez au pouvoir pendant quand même une bonne décennie ? Lorsqu'il y a eu ce coup d'État, je ne l'ai pas applaudi, mais j'ai estimé que c'était peut-être l'occasion de redresser le pays. C'est pour cela que j'appelle aux états généraux de la nation pour refonder nos institutions. Quelle réforme majeure vous verriez, par exemple ? Mais, par exemple, déjà aujourd'hui, on a tous les pouvoirs exécutifs concentrés entre les mains d'un seul homme. Brice Oligui Nguema est président de la République, chef de l'État, chef du gouvernement, il préside le Conseil supérieur de la magistrature, il préside les forces de sécurité et de défense... Ça, ce n'est pas possible. Nous avons eu deux ans de transition. Nous avons un mandat de sept ans. Au bout du mandat, ça fera neuf ans qu'il sera aux responsabilités. Arrivez-vous quand même à identifier une part de votre propre responsabilité sur la situation actuelle au Gabon ? Et si vous y arrivez, quelle serait-elle ? Mais bien sûr ! Lorsque j'ai parcouru le Gabon dans la période préélectorale pour la présidentielle, j'ai dit aux Gabonais : « Oui, je reconnais qu'on aurait dû mieux gérer notre pays. » On avait des ressources suffisantes pour que le Gabon se développe, on ne l'a pas fait. Or, ce qui se passe aujourd'hui, c'est pire que ce qu'on faisait. J'ai aussi demandé à ce qu'on mette en place la commission vérité, justice et réconciliation pour au moins trois éléments : quelles ont été les responsabilités des uns et des autres sur les crises postélectorales, notamment en 2016 ? Comment on fait pour réparer notre pays sur le plan économique et social ? Et comment on fait pour l'avenir ? Sur ces éléments-là, moi j'assume totalement. Je retiens les leçons de mon expérience pour mieux envisager l'avenir.

Record Resources President and COO Alain Mizelle joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's strategic transition into international oil and gas exploration and its growing focus on Gabon as a cornerstone jurisdiction for future growth. Mizelle explained that Record Resources is an established company that originally began as an oil and gas issuer in Alberta before evolving into the mining and mineral exploration sector, with projects spanning lithium and gold assets in Ontario. He said the company is now realigning its long-term strategy to return to its roots and emerge as a fully fledged international oil and gas exploration and production company. Central to this shift is Gabon, which Mizelle described as one of the most stable and attractive oil and gas jurisdictions in West Africa. He highlighted the country's long history of hydrocarbon production, a stable fiscal framework, and a supportive political environment. Gabon also benefits from an established industry presence, with major international operators such as Total and Perenco, alongside a number of experienced mid-sized producers, actively operating in the country. A major focus of the discussion was the Ngulu Block, which Record Resources signed into in September 2025 in partnership with Reconnaissance Energy Africa (ReconAfrica). Mizelle noted that the block covers more than 1,200 square kilometres and is located in the heart of Gabon's most prospective oil-producing region. He described the asset as highly strategic, stating that the Ngulu Block represents the “epicenter” of current and future exploration opportunities in the country. Mizelle also outlined the significance of the historical Loba Discovery, which was drilled in 1976 and intersected more than 140 metres of oil pay but was never fully developed due to technological limitations at the time. With modern drilling and evaluation techniques now available, Record Resources and ReconAfrica see a compelling opportunity to appraise the discovery and potentially fast-track development should commercial viability be confirmed. Looking ahead, Mizelle said the company's 2026 work program will be focused on reprocessing existing 3D seismic data, detailed reinterpretation, and resource evaluation across the Ngulu Block. He noted that resource estimates are expected later in the year and emphasized the strong support the company is receiving from the Gabonese government, which he described as highly receptive to new oil and gas investment and exploration activity. #proactiveinvestors #tsxv #rec #mining #recordresources #OilAndGas #InternationalEnergy #GabonEnergy #WestAfricaOil #NguluBlock #LobaDiscovery #EnergyExploration #UpstreamEnergy #HydrocarbonExploration #StrategicAssets #EnergyTransition #GlobalEnergy

C'est un record qui dure ! Pour la 5ᵉ année consécutive, les attaques informatiques occupent le haut du podium des risques du transport. L'assureur international Allianz publie son nouveau rapport annuel. Le traumatisme du Covid-19 est oublié puisque l'interruption brutale d'activité disparait du tableau. En revanche, le piratage informatique reste la bête noire des transporteurs. Il est suivi de deux nouveautés, le changement et l'excès de réglementations. Dans le rapport du groupe Allianz, la météo est déclassée ! C'est une première dans l'histoire du transport marchand.  Le sabotage informatique en tête Aujourd'hui, les tempêtes les plus redoutées sur les mers sont invisibles et attaquent de l'intérieur. Les risques informatiques encore nommés risques cyber préoccupent tous les secteurs du transport : le routier, le ferroviaire, l'aérien et le maritime. À lire aussiTransport et cybercriminalité 90 % du transport de marchandises sur les mers Parce qu'il occupe toujours 90 % des transferts de matières premières et de marchandises, le transport par bateaux doit se protéger en tenant compte de la règle d'or : se protéger dès la naissance ! À savoir dès la construction des ports et des navires. C'est l'avis d'Hervé Deiss, économiste, fondateur du site Ports et Corridors :  « Il y a trois siècles, les pirates de mer attaquaient les bateaux en mer en prenant l'assaut à bord. Aujourd'hui, ce sont des pirates informatiques qui sabotent à distance. Ils sont capables de prendre le contrôle des outils de navigation ou de surveillance du trafic à cause de failles et de faiblesses de protection informatiques des armateurs ou d'un acteur de la chaîne d'équipement. Mais il est impossible d'éviter l'informatique de nos jours. D'ailleurs, il existe une convention mondiale qui oblige les opérateurs de nouveaux ports à se protéger. Je pense aux exemples en Afrique de la Côte d'Ivoire ou du Gabon. Leur performance portuaire est en jeu. Ces connexions et protections augmentent la valeur et la fluidité du transport portuaire. » À lire aussiCyberattaques: le secteur du transport en ligne de mire Les règlementations, nouveauté du podium Le rapport du groupe Allianz fait état d'une nouveauté apparue l'an dernier. Là encore, elle concerne tous les secteurs du transport marchand : les taxes et les fluctuations de règlementations nationales et internationales.  L'industrie automobile visée Pour Yann Bonnet, expert, ancien directeur général du Campus Cyber à Paris, les pirates s'intéressent à l'industrie automobile. Le nombre de sous-traitants dans la construction des nouveaux véhicules avec toujours plus d'ordinateurs et de technologie à bord rend la chaîne de construction et de livraison d'autant plus vulnérable :  « Les équipementiers, les concessionnaires, les constructeurs et les concepteurs de matériels informatiques pour les voitures ou camions doivent se doter d'outils de protection informatique. Mais ils doivent aussi former tous les personnels à une veille informatique pour les rendre capables de maintenir de bons réflexes. Ils doivent pouvoir surveiller leurs outils et détecter de possibles dysfonctionnements. » À lire aussiLa cybersécurité des véhicules, une priorité pour les constructeurs Conflits économiques et armés Les assureurs estiment que l'actualité politique de 2025, marquée par le protectionnisme, les taxes douanières et les conflits régionaux, a perturbé près de 20 % du commerce mondial.

Whether you’re a seasoned team member or preparing for your first trip, short-term mission trips have the potential to make a meaningful global impact. In this conversation, we’ll highlight five key principles that help ensure our efforts contribute to lasting, sustainable change in the communities we serve.

Voilà tout juste un an que Donald Trump est retourné à la Maison-Blanche. Douze mois d'essoufflement pour la planète, tant la cadence imposée par le président américain est intense et inédite. Comme le reste du monde, l'Afrique est, elle aussi, prise au dépourvu par les méthodes brutales du milliardaire. Fin de l'Agence des États-Unis pour le développement international, bombardement aérien au Nigeria, accaparement des terres rares en RDC, sans compter les taxes douanières et la restriction d'entrée aux États-Unis imposée à des dizaines de millions de ressortissants africains. Dans une analyse pour le site d'information français Mediapart, le journaliste et essayiste sénégalais Ousmane Ndiaye décrit un « impérialisme trumpien violent pour le monde entier, mais encore plus pour l'Afrique ». Il répond aux questions de Sidy Yansané. Durant son premier mandat en 2018, Donald Trump désignait les pays africains comme des « shithole countries », des « pays de merde ». Mais depuis son retour il y a un an, le président américain, et les États-Unis en général, n'ont jamais montré autant d'intérêt pour le continent. Pour le pire ou pour le meilleur ? Ousmane Ndiaye : Pour le meilleur pour les Américains, sans doute, quand on se situe dans l'axe trumpien du America first. Par contre, du point de vue africain, je crains que ce soit pour le pire. Parce que ce nouvel intérêt pour l'Afrique est d'abord purement financier, accompagné d'une volonté d'impérialisme. Et on oublie trop souvent que les États-Unis ont toujours été une puissance militaire présente en Afrique, avec l'Africom (Commandement des États-Unis pour l'Afrique) et que Trump utilise désormais pour intervenir contre des pays sur des questions de politique intérieure. Je pense à l'Afrique du Sud qui a été menacée à plusieurs reprises parce que les Blancs seraient maltraités, selon Trump. Au Nigeria où les États-Unis sont intervenus par des frappes aériennes dans le nord du pays dans des conditions encore floues. Deuxième volet très important de l'offensive trumpienne : « Je viens en Afrique parce que stratégiquement vos minerais m'intéressent. » C'est clairement formulé, c'est clairement dit. Les pays d'intérêts de Trump ont un fort potentiel minier, comme la RDC. Certes, il y a l'accord de paix avec le Rwanda, mais il est corrélé avec un accord de partenariat économique qui donne un accès privilégié aux États-Unis aux ressources minières de la RDC. Ça rappelle la politique de la Françafrique des années 1970-1980 où la France avait un accès privilégié aux ressources de son pré-carré. Autres pays d'intérêt pour Trump : la Guinée. Dans le cas de la Guinée, quel est cet autre intérêt précis ? D'abord, le gisement de fer du Simandou. Et ensuite, il ne faut pas oublier que Trump aussi projette les obsessions de la diplomatie américaine, à savoir la concurrence avec la Chine, très présente en Guinée. Alors même que ressurgissent en Afrique les slogans qui ont fait les Indépendances - tels que la lutte contre l'impérialisme et le colonialisme, la défense de la souveraineté - les dirigeants du continent, mais également les opinions publiques africaines, pour l'instant en tout cas, montrent beaucoup moins de ferveur à critiquer Trump. Pourquoi ? Il y a une scène qui m'a beaucoup marqué, c'est le sommet Afrique-États-Unis à la Maison blanche en juillet dernier [auquel participaient les présidents de la Mauritanie, de la Guinée-Bissau, du Sénégal, du Liberia et du Gabon, NDLR]. Ils ont été reçus comme des écoliers. On les a mis dans un car, Trump oubliant leurs pays d'origine tout en oubliant leurs noms. C'était un spectacle de domination terrible ! Je m'attendais à une sorte de posture de dignité de ces chefs d'États. Au contraire, on les a vu dans un acte de contrition et d'aplatissement. Notamment le Gabonais Brice Oligui Nguema proposer le prix Nobel à Trump avec force et dans discours mielleux, ou encore le Sénégalais Bassirou Diomaye Faye surfer sur la passion pour le golf de Trump et lui proposer des terres. Ce qui me frappe, c'est que face aux États-Unis de Trump, les Africains n'ont ni réponse individuelle ni réponse commune. Tout le reste du monde s'organise pour faire face à ce désordre, à cette tempête qu'est Trump et je trouve que l'Afrique reste assez en marge, à tort. Car Trump est en train de bouleverser l'ordre du monde. Et dans ce bouleversement, comme on l'a vu avec la fin de l'USAID et le retrait américain des organisations internationales, l'Afrique en subit les premières conséquences. Des millions de personnes risquent de mourir en Afrique suite à un seul décret de Trump. On risque d'avoir plus de morts que durant le Covid. Donc l'Afrique subit déjà la brutalité de Trump. Personnellement, je crains un retour de la guerre froide, c'est-à-dire des stratégies de positionnement des grandes puissances mondiales, où l'Afrique n'est qu'un instrument et, encore une fois, le terrain d'une lutte par procuration. Dans un espace où il n'y a pas de respect des conventions internationales, ça va être encore plus catastrophique que durant la guerre froide.

En Ouganda, deux jours après la présidentielle, internet a été rétabli mais les réseaux sociaux restent bloqués. Museveni a été réélu pour un 7e mandat dans un climat tendu. L'opposition dénonce des intimidations et rejette les résultats.

fWotD Episode 3180: 2017 Africa Cup of Nations final Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 18 January 2026, is 2017 Africa Cup of Nations final.The 2017 Africa Cup of Nations final was an association football match to determine the winner of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). The match was held at the Stade de l'Amitié in Libreville, Gabon, on 5 February 2017 and was contested by Cameroon and Egypt. The sixteen teams who had qualified for the tournament were divided into four groups of four, with the top two from each group progressing to the knock-out phase. Cameroon finished as runners-up in Group A before defeating Senegal and Ghana in the quarter-final and semi-final, while Egypt reached for the final by first winning Group D and then beating Morocco and Burkina Faso.Egypt started the final strongly and took a 1–0 lead through Mohamed Elneny after 22 minutes. Cameroon had more possession than Egypt in the first half, but their attack lacked potency, and Egypt led at half time. The Egyptians made few attempts to attack in the second half, and Cameroon equalised after 59 minutes through Nicolas Nkoulou, who had come on as a substitute. Egypt were unable to adjust, and Cameroon continued to have the better chances, eventually scoring again two minutes before the end, through Vincent Aboubakar, to record a 2–1 win. The victory marked their fifth Africa Cup of Nations title. As winners, they represented CAF at the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia, but they did not progress beyond the group phase.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:56 UTC on Sunday, 18 January 2026.For the full current version of the article, see 2017 Africa Cup of Nations final on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Emma.

Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros kick things off with reports that Weston McKennie could leave Juventus this summer. Where should the USMNT midfielder go next, and what kind of club best suits his skill set ahead of 2026? The guys also reveal their USMNT “secret weapon” players who could surprise their way onto the World Cup roster, with Alexis highlighting James Sands and Sebastian Berhalter, while Christian makes the case for Max Arfsten and Brenden Aaronson.Next, Christian and Alexis are joined by Lawrence Cann, founder of Street Soccer USA, for a powerful and emotional interview about how the game can change lives. Lawrence shares the personal story of losing his home as a child — and how soccer, community, and the support of a coach helped put him on a new path. The conversation dives into grassroots soccer, access, and why building opportunity at the community level matters now more than ever.Finally, the boys close out with Rapido Reactions from across the soccer world: their thoughts on a leaked USMNT jersey, a bizarre viral moment featuring an Algerian fan standing frozen like a statue, Gabon canceling their entire national team, a wild goal celebration that nearly ended in disaster, and their AFCON quarterfinal predictions. Timestamps:(8:00) – Where should Weston Mckennie go this summer?(18:30) – USMNT's secret weapons for the 2026 World Cup(28:30) – Founder of Street Soccer USA joins The Cooligans(52:00) – Rapido Reactions: USMNT jersey leak, AFCON headlines & more Subscribe to The Cooligans on your favorite podcast app:

When you think of countries in Africa, it is unlikely that Gabon will be one of the first to cross your mind.  It is entirely possible that some of you might never ever heard of Gabon.  Considered “Earth's last Eden,” Gabon is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, yet very little is known about it because not much has ever happened there to make it into the news. In fact, one of the biggest things to have ever happened there took place 1.7 billion years ago. Learn about the history of Gabon on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

« Non à la CAN de football tous les quatre ans ! » : c'est le cri de guerre de notre invité congolais de ce mardi 6 janvier, après la décision du Sud-Africain Patrice Motsepe, le président de la Confédération africaine de football, de faire passer le célèbre tournoi de une fois tous les deux ans à une fois tous les quatre ans. Youssouf Mulumbu a été le capitaine des Léopards du Congo Kinshasa et a notamment joué au PSG. Il publie aujourd'hui le roman Talo, aux éditions Jets d'encre. Pour lui, la CAF africaine de Patrice Motsepe doit résister aux pressions de la Fifa mondiale de Gianni Infantino. Il le dit au micro de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Youssouf Mulumbu, le 20 décembre dernier, le président de la CAF, le Sud-Africain Patrice Motsepe, a jeté un pavé dans la mare. À partir de 2028 a-t-il dit : « La CAN de football ne se disputera plus tous les deux ans, mais tous les quatre ans ». Quelle est votre réaction ? Youssouf Mulumbu : moi, ça ne me surprend pas tellement, il y avait des signes. Je pense que le président Motsepe est plus basé sur les compétitions occidentales et s'est aligné justement sur cette nouvelle Coupe du monde des clubs qui, pour la CAN, est un dommage collatéral. Alors l'un des arguments justement du Sud-Africain Motsepe, c'est de dire que l'Afrique doit s'aligner sur la Coupe du monde et sur le championnat d'Europe, qui sont des tournois qui ont lieu tous les quatre ans. Bien au contraire, l'Afrique a ses réalités avec ses infrastructures. Donc je ne vois pas comment on peut s'aligner aujourd'hui avec l'Europe, sachant que la CAN, la Coupe d'Afrique, fait partie du développement de certains pays. On peut voir sur les infrastructures de transport, sur les infrastructures justement sportives. Et donc ça va être un dommage collatéral pour l'Afrique et pour des pays qui sont sous-développés. Oui, parce que le fait que la CAN ait lieu tous les deux ans, ça veut dire que, tous les deux ans, il y a de nouvelles routes, de nouveaux stades, de nouveaux hôpitaux ? Exactement, c'est l'histoire de cette Coupe d'Afrique. Et tous les deux ans et pour chaque Africain, on l'attend chaque deux ans. Donc on ne devrait pas s'aligner avec l'Europe parce que l'Afrique a ses réalités et donc c'est un bel événement pour le développement du pays. Moi, j'ai pu le voir avec le Gabon, j'ai pu le voir avec la Guinée et aujourd'hui je pense qu'on a plus pensé aux clubs européens parce que, pour leur gestion, ça va être plus facile. Et on a pensé vraiment à cette Coupe du monde des clubs qui est un peu l'atout majeur pour la FIFA. Oui, c'est-à dire-que vous pensez que cette réforme, c'est aussi une concession faite aux puissants clubs européens, comme le PSG où vous avez joué Youssouf Mulumbu, mais aussi bien sûr comme le Real, Arsenal, etc. qui n'ont jamais eu envie de laisser partir leurs joueurs africains tous les deux ans pendant plus d'un mois ? Exactement. On voit de plus en plus de joueurs qui évoluent dans des grands clubs, donc forcément, pour eux, c'est tout bénef. Et je pense qu'il va falloir militer vraiment pour que cette CAN revienne tous les deux ans. Et je pense que tous les joueurs, qu'ils soient anciens et nouveaux, doivent se mettre en avant pour justement donner de la voix pour que cette CAN reste toutes les deux années. Alors un autre argument quand même de la part du président Motsepe, c'est qu'une CAN tous les quatre ans, cela rendra la compétition plus rare, donc plus prestigieuse, comme la Coupe du monde par exemple. Et donc cela fera monter les droits télés et le nombre des sponsors … Son argument peut être louable, mais quand on regarde le pour et le contre, je pense qu'il y a plus de désavantages pour le continent africain aujourd'hui. Cette CAN, nous on la regarde avec des yeux qui brillent. On l'attend chaque deux ans. Je ne vois pas pourquoi deux années de plus vont faire que cette CAN va être plus attractive. Et aujourd'hui, on voit une CAN où on a des superstars qui viennent la voir, comme Mbappé, comme Zidane. Et donc pour nous, elle est bien comme ça. Donc je ne vois pas comment elle va être plus prestigieuse tous les quatre ans. Donc vraiment, je pense que tout le monde doit se lever d'une même voix. Donc allons militer et remettez-nous cette compétition tous les deux ans, parce que nous, ça nous fait vibrer de voir les peuples justement vibrer, un peu comme le Congo qui a des conflits géopolitiques. Et aujourd'hui mettre à part ces conflits là pour se focaliser justement sur cette compétition, ça donne un peu du baume au cœur et un peu de joie à ce peuple-là. Donc, il va falloir garder cette CAN tous les deux ans. Oui, pour le peuple congolais, c'est une grande respiration au milieu de la guerre ? Exactement, comme vous le voyez à chaque célébration. Je pense que les joueurs n'ont pas oublié qu'au pays c'est un peu terrible et surtout du côté Est. Donc voilà, de parler justement du Congo, ça donne un peu plus de joie à ce peuple-là. Oui, offrez-nous au moins tous les deux ans une parenthèse enchantée. Exactement, et je pense que c'est très important. Mais franchement, Youssouf Mulumbu, est ce que financièrement la CAF n'est pas très dépendante de la FIFA ? Forcément. Mais feu Issa Hayatou, paix à son âme, avait résisté justement à cette pression qui était déjà mise pour que cette compétition se déroule tous les quatre ans ! Hommage au défunt président camerounais Issa Hayatou ? Exactement. Hommage à feu Hayatou, qui était un président très exemplaire et qui œuvrait vraiment pour l'Afrique. Youssouf Mulumbu, RDC-Algérie, c'est dans quelques heures ? Exactement. Un petit pronostic ? Alors j'ai beaucoup d'amis algériens moi, je dirai une victoire 2-1pour le Congo quand même. On va aller chercher cette victoire.

The favorites are all in place, but the Group Stage still provided its fair share of drama, from surprises like Tanzania and Sudan making the Last 16 to Gabon getting disbanded (no, really). Then, it's a knockout round preview, headlined by intriguing ties like South Africa-Cameroon and Algeria-DR Congo.

Équipe suspendue, encadrement démis et mise à l'écart de Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang et Bruno Ecuele Manga : l'élimination au premier tour de la Coupe d'Afrique des Nations passe mal au Gabon, où le ministre des Sports a annoncé des sanctions. Face à la Côte d'Ivoire, la sélection gabonaise s'est inclinée (3-2) mercredi, pour la troisième fois en trois matches. Aubameyang se défend dans un tweet : "Je pense que les problèmes de l'équipe sont bien plus profonds que la petite personne que je suis".

Qui dit nouvelle année, dit vœux. Soyez les premiers auditeurs à prendre la parole en 2026. Que souhaitez-vous à votre pays ? Situation politique, économique, sociale, environnementale, quels sont vos espoirs ?

Gabon / Côte d'Ivoire : des retrouvailles après les éliminatoires Mondial 2026. Les Panthères, déjà éliminées, mais le vestiaire gabonais veut rester mobilisé face aux champions sortants. Côté Éléphants, Émerse Faé veut oublier que ses joueurs sont déjà qualifiés. Un collectif solide, mais pour l'instant, un seul buteur. L'attaque orange, va-t-elle se distinguer ? À moins d'un sursaut d'orgueil des Panthères ?  Le duel à distance avec le Cameroun pour la première place. Lions indomptables contre Mambas, les Mozambicains sur leur lancée ? Les signaux positifs côté Cameroun. David Pagou satisfait de ses jeunes Lions. À lire aussiCAN 2025: au Cameroun, le risque d'une Mbeumo-dépendance ?   ► CAN 2025, la belle surprise soudanaise.

Calendrier CAN 2025 : programme complet, dates et horaires des matchs Radio Foot sera de retour ce soir à 21h10 TU pour une deuxième émission 

Au programme de Radio Foot ce lundi 29 décembre 2025 : fin de partie pour les Panthères du Gabon, un match nul haletant entre les Eléphants et les Lions indomptables, le retour d'Achraf Hakimi et la rencontre Comores/Mali, coup d'envoi 19h TU.  ► C'est déjà terminé pour les Panthères. Déjà absente de l'édition 2024, et après avoir ferraillé jusqu'au bout dans son groupe de qualifications au Mondial 2026, l'équipe de Thierry Mouyouma, qui avait perdu contre le Cameroun lors de la 1ère journée, puis concédé une surprenante défaite 2-3 face aux Mambas, a été définitivement sortie suite au nul entre Éléphants et Lions Indomptables. Un succès sur les Ivoiriens ne suffirait pas, avec 3 points, c'est le Mozambique qui passe. Trop d'erreurs défensives gabonaises face aux hommes de Chiquinho Condé ? ► Dans ce groupe F, rencontre rythmée entre Ivoiriens et Camerounais sans vainqueur (1-1). C'était l'un des rendez-vous très attendus de la 2e journée. Un match qui n'a pas déçu, avec entre autres l'opposition entre les 2 joueurs des Red Devils, Amad Diallo et Bryan Mbeumo. Des joueurs orange techniques, des maillots noirs qui n'ont rien lâché. Reste à déterminer le vainqueur de cette poule, mercredi prochain. ►Le dénouement dans le groupe A. Le pays-hôte doit valider sa qualification contre la Zambie, même si les Chipolopolos rêvent d'un exploit à Rabat. Mais les Rouges ont remporté leurs cinq dernières rencontres contre les vainqueurs de 2012. Quel temps de jeu pour Achraf Hakimi, dont le retour est prévu ? ► Comores/Mali à Casablanca. Les Cœlacanthes en quête de buts, espèrent encore disputer la suite du tournoi, comme lors de la CAN camerounaise. Les Aigles viseront aussi la victoire, et veulent se rassurer face à un adversaire qu'ils ont déjà rencontré en éliminatoires pour le Mondial, et nettement battu. Des Maliens solides défensivement, mais dont l'efficacité offensive reste mesurée depuis le début de la compétition.

Economy Trump Administration Announces Change to Offshore Wind Construction  President Donald Trump's Department of the Interior is pausing offshore wind project construction due to “national security risks.” “Due to national security concerns identified by the Department of War, Interior is PAUSING leases for 5 expensive, unreliable, heavily subsidized offshore wind farms!” Interior Secretary Doug Burgum wrote on X. “ONE natural gas pipeline supplies as much energy as these 5 projects COMBINED,” Burgum added. “POTUS is bringing common sense back to energy policy & putting security FIRST!” Leases with Vineyard Wind1, Revolution Wind, CVOW, Sunrise Wind, and Empire Wind will be paused. Source: dailysignal.com https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/2002605302932517339?s=20 Gas is About to Get Expensive . . . A gallon of gas costs about twice as much in California as it does pretty much anywhere else in the United States. The reason why, of course, is that California makes it cost about twice as much – by reducing supply and by adding costs, chiefly for “environmental” reasons. This includes a new requirement – going into effect very soon (Dec. 31) that all gas stations must either replace single-walled underground storage tanks or permanently close them – no matter whether the tanks are actually leaking and no matter how much it costs to replace them. It is estimated that about 473 gas stations in California are going to close – because the owners cannot afford the mandatory underground storage tank upgrade costs or the $5,000 per day fines for non-compliance. At the same time, the state's regulatory bureaucracy has essentially shut down supply by denying 97 percent of permits for new refineries to supply the extra-special (and extra-expensive) gasoline formulations that all gas stations in California are required to sell. If this hypothetical scenario ends up becoming the actual scenario it could result in the collapse of California as a state.

To review: —Darya Dugina was killed in a car bombing in 2022 which was likely meant for her father, prominent political thinker and often dubbed “Putin ally” Aleksandr Dugin. —Gen Igor Kirillov died in December 2024 outside of his residence when a bomb planted in a nearby scooter detonated. —Gen Yaroslav Moskalik, who served as deputy head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, was killed in a car bomb attack last April. A “homemade” explosive device detonated under his Volkswagen Golf in a residential neighborhood.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced the arrest of former Madera County benefits eligibility worker Leticia Mariscal, 55, of Madera. Prosecutors alleged that Mariscal stole tens of thousands of dollars in CalFresh benefits by exploiting her access to county databases. CalFresh is California's version of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. According to the Justice Department, the alleged scheme took place between December 2020 and April 2025. https://twitter.com/FBISacramento/status/1999625371268886611?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1999625371268886611%7Ctwgr%5Ee26f93739a10984d47aeb35b0088270daeb01aef%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F12%2Fdoj-charges-california-food-stamp-official-sending-benefits%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/KevinKileyCA/status/2002791344566411594?s=20   “high-risk.” This means they exhibit serious “waste, fraud, abuse, or mismanagement,” costing taxpayers billions.

(VIDEO) Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna Announce Plans to Bring Inherent Contempt Charges Against Attorney General Pam Bondi Over Epstein Files – “We're Building a Bipartisan Coalition”  Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA), the authors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by President Trump last month, announced their intention to bring charges for inherent contempt against Attorney General Pam Bondi.  Under the rarely used congressional power, “the House or Senate has its Sergeant-At-Arms, or deputy, take a person into custody for proceedings to be held in Congress,” according to the National Constitution Center. However, it is unclear how effective this would be in the face of legal challenges and the executive branch's power. This is the latest in an escalating saga of threats, with Massie and Khanna claiming the DOJ has not complied fully with the law due to redactions in the files and not releasing every document available. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared on NBC's Meet the Press this morning, where he dared Massie and Khanna to “bring it on,” maintaining that the DOJ is simply following the law and taking the necessary time to make redactions before releasing all of the files. Blanche told NBC's Kristen Welker that ensuring victim information is redacted “very much Trumps some deadline in the statute,” and he dared Khanna and Massie to file Articles of Impeachment. “We are complying with the statute, we will continue to comply with the statute, and if by complying with the statute, we don't produce everything on Friday, we produce things next week, and the week after, that's still compliance with the statute,” Blanche added.

Trump to replace nearly 30 career diplomats in ambassadorial positions with ‘America First' allies The U.S. chiefs of mission in at least 29 countries were informed last week that their tenures would end in January 2026; all of them had taken up their posts in the Biden administration The Trump administration is recalling nearly 30 career diplomats from ambassadorial and other senior embassy posts as it moves to reshape the U.S. diplomatic posture abroad with personnel deemed fully supportive of President Donald Trump's “America First” priorities. All of them had taken up their posts in the Joe Biden administration but had survived an initial purge in the early months of Mr. Trump's second term that targeted mainly political appointees. That changed on Wednesday (December 17, 2025) when they began to receive notices from officials in Washington about their imminent departures.  How Trump shifted America's policy in a week Ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the President, although they typically remain at their posts for three to four years.

Africa is the continent most affected by the removals, with ambassadors from 13 countries being removed: Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Mauritius, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia and Uganda. Second is Asia, with ambassadorial changes coming to six countries: Fiji, Laos, the Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and Vietnam affected.

Source: zerohedge.com Deep State Apoplectic with Trump's Use of Emissaries to Deliver Results President Trump is ducking and weaving through some of the deepest Machiavellian constructs, while maintaining forward progress. To put context to it, these creeps have had four years to strategize how to control Trump and manipulate policy with their retention of all sorts of government agencies in alignment with the status quo.  Yet, remarkably President Trump is dancing through their deep state minefield while keeping dozens of plates spinning on sticks.  The use of non-traditional emissaries is really making them angry.  , the use of emissaries outside the govt framework of traditional policy was going to be a key facet in any America-First agenda. The Deep State does not like President Trump's use of emissaries to conduct foreign policy.  In fact, they oppose it strongly; they hate it. The “emissary” is the person who carries the word of President Trump to any person identified by President Trump.  The emissary is very much like a tape recording of President Trump in human form.  The emissary travels to a location, meets a particular person or group, and then recites the opinion of the President.  The words spoken by the emissary, are the words of President Trump. The IC cannot inject themselves into this dynamic; that is why it is so valuable. The emissary then hears the response from the intended person or group, repeats it back to them to ensure he/she will return with clarity of intent as expressed, and then returns to the office of the presidency and repeats the reply for the President.  The emissary recites back exactly what he was /is told. This process is critical when you understand how thoroughly compromised the full Executive Branch is.  More importantly, this process becomes even more critical when you accept the Intelligence Community will lie to the office of the President to retain their power and position.

In this live episode, Tricia Eastman joins to discuss Seeding Consciousness: Plant Medicine, Ancestral Wisdom, Psychedelic Initiation. She explains why many Indigenous initiatory systems begin with consultation and careful assessment of the person, often using divination and lineage-based diagnostic methods before anyone enters ceremony. Eastman contrasts that with modern frameworks that can move fast, rely on short trainings, or treat the medicine as a stand-alone intervention. Early Themes: Ritual, Preparation, and the Loss of Container Eastman describes her background, including ancestral roots in Mexico and her later work at Crossroads Ibogaine in Mexico, where she supported early ibogaine work with veterans. She frames her broader work as cultural bridging that seeks respect rather than fetishization, and assimilation into modern context rather than appropriation. Early discussion focuses on: Why initiatory traditions emphasize purification, preparation, and long timelines Why consultation matters before any high-intensity medicine work How decades of training shaped traditional initiation roles Why people can get harmed when they treat medicine as plug and play Core Insights: Alchemy, Shadow, and Doing the Work A major throughline is Eastman's critique of the belief that a psychedelic alone will erase trauma. She argues that shadow work remains part of the human condition, and that healing is less about a one-time fix and more about building capacity for relationship with the unconscious. Using alchemical language, she describes "nigredo" as fuel for the creative process, not as something to eliminate forever. Key insights include: Psychedelics are tools, not saviors You cannot outsource responsibility to a pill, a modality, or a facilitator Progress requires practice, discipline, and honest engagement with what arises "Healing" often shows up as obstacles encountered while trying to live and create Later Discussion and Takeaways: Iboga, Ethics, and Biocultural Stewardship Joe and Tricia move into a practical and ethically complex discussion about iboga supply chains, demand pressure, and the risks of amplifying interest without matching it with harm reduction and reciprocity. Eastman emphasizes medical screening, responsible messaging, and supporting Indigenous-led stewardship efforts. She also warns that harm can come from both under-trained modern facilitators and irresponsible people claiming traditional legitimacy. Concrete takeaways include: Treat iboga and ibogaine as high-responsibility work that demands safety protocols Avoid casual marketing that encourages risky self-administration Support Indigenous-led biocultural stewardship and reciprocity efforts Give lineage carriers a meaningful seat at the table in modern policy and clinical conversations Frequently Asked Questions Who is Tricia Eastman? Tricia Eastman is an author, facilitator, and founder of Ancestral Heart. Her work focuses on cultural bridging, initiation frameworks, and Indigenous-led stewardship. What is Seeding Consciousness about? The book examines plant medicine through initiatory traditions, emphasizing consultation, ritual, preparation, and integration rather than reductionistic models. Why does Tricia Eastman critique modern psychedelic models? She argues that many models remove the ritual container and long-form preparation that reduce risk and support deeper integration. Is iboga or ibogaine safe? With the right oversite, yes. Eastman stresses that safety depends on cardiac screening, careful protocols, and experienced oversight. She warns against informal or self-guided use. How can people support reciprocity and stewardship? She encourages donating or supporting Indigenous-led biocultural stewardship initiatives like Ancestral Heart and aligning public messaging with harm reduction. Closing Thoughts This episode makes a clear case that Tricia Eastman Seeding Consciousness is not only a book about psychedelics, but a critique of how the field is developing. Eastman argues that a successful future depends on mature containers, serious safety culture, and respectful partnership with lineage carriers, especially as interest in iboga and ibogaine accelerates.

Joe Moore with you again from Psychedelics Today, joined today by Tricia Eastman. Tricia, you just wrote a book called Seeding Consciousness. We're going to get into that a bunch today, but how are you today? [00:00:16.07] - Tricia Eastman I'm so good. It's exciting to be live. A lot of the podcasts I do are offline, and so it's like we're being witnessed and feels like just can feel the energy behind It's great. [00:00:31.11] - Joe Moore It's fun. It's a totally different energy than maybe this will come out in four months. This is real, and there's people all over the world watching in real-time. And we'll get some comments. So folks, if you're listening, please leave us some comments. And we'd love to chat a little bit later about those. [00:00:49.23] - Tricia Eastman I'm going to join the chat so that I can see... Wait, I just want to make sure I'm able to see the comments, too. Do I hit join the chat? [00:01:01.17] - Joe Moore Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. I can throw comments on the screen so we can see them together. [00:01:07.02] - Tricia Eastman Cool. [00:01:08.03] - Joe Moore Yeah. So it'll be fun. Give us comments, people. Please, please, please, please. Yeah, you're all good. So Tricia, I want to chat about your book. Tell us high level about your book, and then we're going to start digging into you. [00:01:22.10] - Tricia Eastman So Seeding Consciousness is the title, and I know it's a long subtitled Plant Medicine, Ancestral Wisdom, Psychedelic Initiation. And I felt like it was absolutely necessary for the times that we are in right now. When I was in Gabon in 2018, in one of my many initiations, as as an initiative, the Fung lineage of Buiti, which I've been practicing in for 11 years now, I was given the instructions. I was given the integration homework to write this book. And I would say I don't see that as this divine thing, like you were given the assignment. I think I was given the assignment because it's hard as F to write a book. I mean, it really tests you on so many levels. I mean, even just thinking about putting yourself out there from a legal perspective, and then also, does it make any sense? Will anyone buy it? And on Honestly, it's not me. It's really what I was given to write, but it's based on my experience working with several thousand people over the years. And really, the essence of it is that in our society, we've taken this reductionistic approach in psychedelics, where we've really taken out the ritual. [00:02:54.05] - Tricia Eastman Even now with the FDA trial for MDMA for PTSD. There's even conversations with a lot of companies that are moving forward, psychedelics, through the FDA process, through that pathway, that are talking about taking the therapy out. And the reality is that in these ancient initiatic traditions, they were very long, drawn out experiences with massive purification rituals, massive amounts of different types of practice in order to prepare oneself to meet the medicine. Different plants were taken, like vomatifs and different types of purification rituals were performed. And then you would go into this profound initiatic experience because the people that were working with you that were in, we call it the Nema, who gives initiations, had decades of training and experience doing these types of initiatic experiences. So if you compare that to the modern day framework, we have people that go online and get a certificate and start serving people medicine or do it in a context where maybe there isn't even an established container or facilitator whatsoever. And so really, the idea is, how can we take the essence of this ancient wisdom wisdom, like when you look at initiation, the first step is consultation, which is really going deep into the history of the individual using different types of techniques that are Indigenous technologies, such as different forms of divination, such as cowrie shell readings. [00:04:52.18] - Tricia Eastman And there's different types of specific divinations that are done in different branches of And before one individual would even go into any initiation, you need to understand the person and where they're coming from. So it's really about that breakdown of all of that, and how can we integrate elements of that into a more modern framework. [00:05:24.23] - Joe Moore Brilliant. All right. Well, thank you for that. And let's chat about you. You've got a really interesting past, very dynamic, could even call it multicultural. And you've got a lot of experience that informed this book. So how did this stuff come forward for you? [00:05:50.02] - Tricia Eastman I mean, I've never been the person to seek anything. My family on my mother's side is from Mexico, from Oaxaca, Trique, Mixtec, and Michica. And we had a long lineage of practice going back to my, at least I know from my great, great grandmother, practicing a blend of mestiza, shamanism, combining centerea and Catholicism together. So it's more of like a syncratic mestiza, mestiza being mixed tradition. And so I found it really interesting because later on, when my grandfather came to the United States, he ended up joining the military. And in being in the US, he didn't really have a place. He's very devout spiritual man, but he didn't have a place to practice this blended spiritual tradition. So the mystical aspect of it went behind. And as I started reconnecting to my ancestral lineage, this came forth that I was really starting to understand the mystical aspect of my ancestry. And interestingly, at the same time, was asked to work at Crossroads Abigain in Mexico. And it's so interesting to see that Mexico has been this melting pot and has been the place where Abigain has chosen to plant its roots, so to say, and has treated thousands of veterans. [00:07:36.28] - Tricia Eastman I got to be part of the group of facilitators back over 10 years ago. We treated the first Navy Seals with Abogaine, and that's really spurred a major interest in Abogaine. Now it's in every headline. I also got 10 I got initiated into the Fung lineage of Buiti and have really studied the traditional knowledge. I created a nonprofit back in 2019 called Ancestral Heart, which is really focused on Indigenous-led stewardship. Really, the book helps as a culmination of the decade of real-world experience of combining My husband, Dr. Joseph Barzulia. He's a psychologist. He's also a pretty well-known published researcher in Abigain and 5MEO-DMT, but also deeply spiritual and deeply in respect for the Indigenous traditions that have carried these medicines before us. So we've really been walking this complex path of world bridging between how we establish these relationships and how we bring some of these ancient knowledge systems back into the forefront, but not in a way of fetishizing them, but in a way of deeply respecting them and what we can learn, but from our own assimilation and context versus appropriation. So really, I think the body of my work is around that cultural bridging. [00:09:31.07] - Joe Moore That's brilliant. And yeah, there's some really fun stuff I learned in the book so far that I want to get into later. But next question is, who is your intended audience here? Because this is an interesting book that could hit a few categories, but I'm curious to hear from you. [00:09:49.02] - Tricia Eastman It's so funny because when I wrote the book, I wasn't thinking, oh, what's my marketing plan? What's my pitch? Who's my intended audience? Because it was my homework, and I knew I needed to write the book, and maybe that was problematic in the sense that I had to go to publishers and have a proposal. And then I had to create a formula in hindsight. And I would say the demographic of the book mirrors the demographic of where people are in the psychedelic space, which It's skewed slightly more male, although very female. I think sex isn't necessarily important when we're thinking about the level of trauma and the level of spiritual healing and this huge deficit that we have in mental health, which is really around our disconnection from our true selves, from our heart, from our souls, from this idea of of what Indigenous knowledge systems call us the sacred. It's really more of an attitude of care and presence. I'm sure we could give it a different name so that individuals don't necessarily have any guard up because we have so much negative conditioning related to the American history of religion, which a lot of people have rejected, and some have gone back to. [00:11:37.06] - Tricia Eastman But I think we need to separate it outside of that. I would say the demographic is really this group of I would say anywhere from 30 to 55 male females that are really in this space where maybe they're doing some of the wellness stuff. They're starting to figure some things out, but it's just not getting them there. And when something happens in life, for example, COVID-19 would be a really great example. It knocks them off course, and they just don't have the tools to find that connection. And I would say it even spans across people that do a lot of spiritual practice and maybe are interested in what psychedelics can do in addition to those practices. Because when we look at my view on psychedelics, is they fit within a whole spectrum of wellness and self-care and any lineage of spiritual practice, whether it's yoga or Sufism or Daoist tradition. But they aren't necessarily the thing that... I think there's an over focus on the actual substance itself and putting it on a pedestal that I think is problematic in our society because it goes back to our religious context in the West is primarily exoteric, meaning that we're seeking something outside of ourselves to fulfill ourselves. [00:13:30.29] - Tricia Eastman And so I think that when we look at psychedelic medicines as this exoteric thing versus when we look at initiatory traditions are about inward and direct experience. And all of these spiritual practices and all of these modalities are really designed to pull you back into yourself, into having a direct relationship with yourself and direct experience. And I feel like the minute that you are able to forge that connection, which takes practice and takes discipline, then you don't need to necessarily look at all these other tools outside of yourself. It's like one of my favorite analogies is the staff on the Titanic were moving the furniture around as it was sinking, thinking that they might save the boat from sinking by moving the furniture around. I think that's how we've been with a lot of ego-driven modalities that aren't actually going into the full unconscious, which is where we need to go to have these direct experiences. Sorry for the long answer, but it is for everybody, and it's not just about psychedelics. Anyone can take something from this doing any spiritual work. But we talk a lot about the Indigenous philosophy and how that ties in alongside with spiritual practice and more of this inner way of connecting with oneself and doing the work. [00:15:21.22] - Tricia Eastman And I think also really not sugar coating it in the sense that the psychedelics aren't going to save us. They're not going to cure PTSD. Nothing you take will. It's you that does the work. And if you don't do the work, you're not going to have an 87 % success rate with opioid use disorder or whatever it is, 60 something % for treatment-resistant depression or whatever. It's like you have to do the work. And so we can't keep putting the power in the modality reality or the pill. [00:16:03.18] - Joe Moore Yeah, that makes sense. So you did an interesting thing here with this book, and it was really highlighting aspects of the alchemical process. And people don't necessarily have exposure. They hear the words alchemy. I get my shoulders go up when I hear alchemizing, like transmutation. But it's a thing. And how do we then start communicating this from Jung? I found out an interesting thing recently as an ongoing student. Carl Jung didn't necessarily have access to all that many manuscripts. There's so many alchemical manuscripts available now compared to what he had. And as a result, our understanding of alchemy has really evolved. Western alchemy, European alchemy, everybody. Perhaps Kmetic, too. I don't know. You could speak to that more. I don't keep track of what's revealed in Egypt. So it's really interesting to present that in a forward way? How has it been received so far? Or were you nervous to present this in this way? [00:17:25.10] - Tricia Eastman I mean, honestly, I think the most important The important thing is that in working with several thousand people over the years, people think that taking the psychedelic and the trauma is going to go away. It's always there. I mean, we We archetypically will have the shadow as long as we need the shadow to learn. And so even if we go into a journey and we transcend it, it's still there. So I would say that the The feedback has been really incredible. I mean, the people that are reading... I mean, I think because I'm weaving so many different, complex and deep concepts into one book, it might be a little harder to market. And I think the biggest bummer was that I was really trying to be respectful to my elders and not say anything in the title about Iboga and Abigain, even though I talk a lot about it in the book, and it's such a hot topic, it's really starting to take off. But the people that have read it really consider it. They really do the work. They do the practices in the book, and I'm just getting really profound feedback. So that's exciting to me because really, ultimately, alchemy... [00:18:55.22] - Tricia Eastman Yeah, you're right. It gets used Used a lot in marketing lingo and sitting in the depth of the tar pit. For me, when I was in Gabon, I remember times where I really had to look at things that were so dark in my family history that I didn't even realize were mine until later connected to my lineage. And the dark darkness connected to that and just feeling that and then knowing really the truth of our being is that we aren't those things. We're in this process of changing and being, and so nothing is is fixed, but there is a alchemical essence in just learning to be with it. And so not always can we just be with something. And and have it change, but there are many times that we can actually just be with those parts of ourselves and be accepting, where it's not like you have to have this intellectualized process It's just like, first you have the negrado, then you tune into the albeda, and you receive the insights, and you journal about it, and da, da, da, da, da Action, Mars aspect of it, the rubeda of the process. It's not like that at all. [00:20:44.15] - Tricia Eastman It's really that the wisdom that comes from it because you're essentially digesting black goo, which is metaphoric to the oil that we use to power all of society that's pulled deep out of the Earth, and it becomes gold. It becomes... And really, the way I like to think of it is like, in life, we are here to create, and we are not here to heal ourselves. So if you go to psychedelic medicine and you want to heal yourself, you're going to be in for... You're just going to be stuck and burnt out because that's not what we're here to do as human beings, and you'll never run out of things to heal. But if you You think of the negrado in alchemy as gasoline in your car. Every time you go back in, it's like refilling your gas tank. And whatever you go back in for as you're moving in the journey, it's almost like that bit of negrado is like a lump of coal that's burning in the gas tank. And that gets you to the next point to which there's another thing related to the creative process. So it's like As you're going in that process, you're going to hit these speed bumps and these obstacles in the way. [00:22:07.29] - Tricia Eastman And those obstacles in the way, that's the healing. So if you just get in the car in the human vehicle and you drive and you continue to pull out the shadow material and face it, you're going to keep having the steam, but not just focus on it, having that intention, having that connection to moving forward in life. And I hate to use those words because they sound so growth and expansion oriented, which life isn't always. It's evolutionary and deevolutionary. It's always in spirals. But ultimately, you're in a creative process would be the best way to orient it. So I think when we look at alchemy from that standpoint, then it's productive. Effective. Otherwise, it sounds like some brand of truffle salt or something. [00:23:09.12] - Joe Moore Yeah, I think it's a... If people want to dig in, amazing. It's just a way to describe processes, and it's super informative if you want to go there, but it's not necessary for folks to do the work. And I like how you framed it quite a bit. So let's see. There is one bit, Tricia, that my ears really went up on this one point about a story about Actually, let me do a tangent for you real quick, and then we're going to come back to this story. So are you familiar with the tribe, the Dogon, in Africa? Of course. Yeah. So they're a group that looks as though they were involved in Jewish and/or Egyptian traditions, and then ended up on the far side of like, what, Western Africa, far away, and had their own evolution away from Egypt and the Middle East. Fascinating. Fascinating stories, fascinating astronomy, and much more. I don't know too much about the religion. I love their masks. But this drew an analogy for me, as you were describing that the Buiti often have stories about having lineage to pre-dynastic Egyptian culture. I guess we'll call it that for now, the Kometic culture. [00:24:44.23] - Joe Moore I had not heard that before. Shame on me because I haven't really read any books about Buiti as a religion or organization, or anything to this point. But I found that really interesting to know that now, at least I'm aware of two groups claiming lineage to that ancient world of magic. Can you speak about that at all for us? Yeah. [00:25:09.24] - Tricia Eastman So first off, there really aren't any books talking about that. Some of the things I've learned from elders that I've spoke with and asked in different lineages in Masoco and in Fong Buiti, there's a few things. One, We lived in many different eras. Even if you go into ancient texts of different religions, creation stories, and biblical stories, they talk about these great floods that wiped out the planet. One of the things that Atum talks about, who is one of my Buiti fathers who passed a couple years ago, is Is the understanding that before we were in these different areas, you had Mu or Lumaria, you had Atlantis, and then you had our current timeline. And the way that consciousness was within those timelines was very different and the way the Earth was. You had a whole another continent called Atlantis that many people, even Plato, talks about a very specific location of. And what happened, I believe during that time period, Africa, at least the Saharan band of the desert was much more lush, and it was a cultural melting pot. So if you think about, for example, the Pygmy tribes, which are in Equatorial Africa, they are the ones that introduced Iboga to the Buiti. [00:27:08.08] - Tricia Eastman If you look at the history of ancient Egypt, what I'm told is that the Pygmies lived in Pharaonic Egypt, all the way up until Pharaonic Egypt. And there was a village. And if you look on the map in Egypt, you see a town called Bawiti, B-A-W-I-T-I. And that is the village where they lived. And I have an interesting hypothesis that the God Bess, if you look at what he's wearing, it's the exact same to a T as what the Pygmies wear. And the inspiration for which a lot of the Buiti, because they use the same symbology, because each part of the outfit, whether it's the Mocingi, which is like this animal skin, or the different feathers, they use the parrot feather as a symbology of speech and communication, all of these things are codes within the ceremony that were passed along. And so when you look at Bess, he's wearing almost the exact same outfit that the Pygmies are wearing and very similar to if you see pictures of the ceremonies of Misoko or Gonde Misoko, which I would say is one of the branches of several branches, but that are closer to the original way of Buiti of the jungle, so closer to the way the Pygmies practice. [00:28:59.16] - Tricia Eastman So If you look at Bess, just to back my hypothesis. So you look at Neteru. Neteru were the... They called them the gods of Egypt, and they were all giant. And many say the word nature actually means nature, but they really represented the divine qualities of nature. There's best. Look at him. And a lot of the historians said he's the God of Harmeline and children and happiness. I think he's more than the God of Harmeline, and I think that the Pygmies worked with many different plants and medicines, and really the ultimate aspect of it was freedom. If you think about liberation, like the libation, number one, that's drunkiness. Number two, liberation, you of freeing the joyous child from within, our true nature of who we are. You look at every temple in Egypt, and you look at these giant statues, and then you have this tiny little pygmy God, and there's no other gods that are like Bess. He's one of a kind. He's in his own category. You've You've got giant Hathor, you've got giant Thoth, you've got giant Osiris, Isis, and then you've got little tiny Bess. And so I think it backs this hypothesis. [00:30:48.27] - Tricia Eastman And my understanding from practitioners of Dogon tradition is that they also believe that their ancestors came from Egypt, and they definitely have a lot of similarity in the teachings that I've seen and been exposed to just from here. I mean, you can... There's some more modern groups, and who's to know, really, the validity of all of it. But there are some, even on YouTube, where you can see there's some more modern Dogon temples that are talking in English or English translation about the teachings, and they definitely line up with Kamehdi teachings. And so my hypothesis around that is that the Dogon are probably most likely pygmy descendants as, And the pygmy were basically run out of Bawiti because there was jealousy with the priest, because there was competition, because all of the offerings that were being made in the temple, there was a lot of power, connected to each of the temples. And there was competitiveness even amongst the different temples, lining the Nile and all of that, of who was getting the most offerings and who was getting the most visits. And so the Pygmies essentially were run out, and they migrated, some of them migrated south to Gabon and Equatorial Africa. [00:32:43.07] - Tricia Eastman And then If you think about the physical changes that happened during these planetary catastrophes, which we know that there had been more than one based on many historical books. So that whole area went through a desertification process, and the Equatorial rainforest remained. So it's highly likely even that Iboga, at one point, grew in that region as well. [00:33:18.00] - Joe Moore Have you ever seen evidence of artwork depicting Iboga there in Egypt? [00:33:24.17] - Tricia Eastman There are several different death temples. I'm trying to remember the name of the exact one that I went to, but on the columns, it looked like Iboga trees that were carved into the columns. And I think what's interesting about this... So Seychet is the divine scribe, the scribe of Egyptian wisdom. And she was basically, essentially the sidekick of Thoth. Thoth was who brought a lot of the ancient wisdom and people like Pythagoras and many of the ancient philosophers in Roman times went and studied in a lot of these Thoth lineage mystery schools. When you look at the the river of the Nile on the east side, east is the energy liturgy of initiation. It's always like if you go into a sweat lodge or if you see an ancient temple, usually the doorway is facing the east. West is where the sun sets, and so that's the death. And what's interesting about that is that it was on the west side in the death temple that you would see these aboga plants. But also Seixat was the one who was the main goddess depicted in the hieroglyphs, and there was other hieroglyphs. I mean, if you look at the hieroglyphs of Seixat, it looks like she has a cannabis leaf above her head, and a lot of people have hypothesized that, that it's cannabis. [00:35:16.03] - Tricia Eastman Of course, historians argue about that. And then she's also carrying a little vessel that looks like it has some mushrooms in it. And obviously, she has blue Lotus. Why would she be carrying around blue Lotus and mushrooms? I don't know. It sounds like some initiation. [00:35:36.19] - Joe Moore Yeah, I love that. Well, thanks so much for going there with me. This photo of Seixet. There's some good animations, but everybody just go look at the temple carvings picturing this goddess. It's stunning. And obviously, cannabis. I think it's hard to argue not. I've seen all these like, mushroom, quote, unquote, mushroom things everywhere. I'm like, Yeah, maybe. But this is like, Yes, that's clear. [00:36:06.27] - Tricia Eastman And if you look at what she's wearing, it's the exact same outfit as Bess, which is classic Basically, how the medicine woman or medicine man or what you would call shaman, the outfit that the healers would wear, the shamans or the oracles, those of the auracular arts, different forms of divination would wear. So if you really follow that and you see, Oh, what's Isis wearing? What's Hathor wearing? What's Thoth wearing? You can tell she's very specifically the healer. And it's interesting because they call her the divine scribe. So she's actually downloading, my guess is she's taking plants and downloading from the primordial. [00:37:02.00] - Joe Moore Well, okay. Thanks for bringing that up. That was a lovely part of your book, was your... There's a big initiation sequence, and then you got to go to this place where you could learn many things. Could you speak to that a little bit? And I hope that's an okay one to bring up. [00:37:22.22] - Tricia Eastman Are you talking about the time that I was in initiation and I went to the different ashrams, the different realms in, like Yogananda calls them astral schools that you go and you just download? It seemed like astral schools, but it seemed like it was a Bwiti initiation, where you were in silence for three days, and then Yeah, that one. So there were several different... I mean, I've done seven official initiations, and then I've had many other initiatic experiences. And I would say this one was incredible. Incredibly profound because what it showed me first was that all of the masters of the planet, it was showing me everyone from Kurt Cobain to Bob Marley to Einstein, all the people that had some special connection to an intelligence that was otherworldly, that they were essentially going to the same place, like they were visiting the same place, and they would go. And so the first thing I noticed was that I recognized a lot of people, and current, I'm not going I don't want to say names of people, but I recognize people that are alive today that I would say are profound thinkers that were going to these places as well. [00:38:57.05] - Tricia Eastman And interestingly, then I was taken into one of the classrooms, and in the classroom, this one, specifically, it showed me that you could download any knowledge instantaneously That essentially, having a connection to that school allowed you to download music or understand very complex ideas ideas of mathematics or physics or science that would take people like lifetimes to understand. So it was essentially showing this. And a lot of people might discredit that, that that might be a specific... That we as humans can do that. Well, I'm not saying that it's not that. I don't I don't want to say that it's anything. But what I can say is that I have definitely noticed the level of access that I have within my consciousness. And also what I notice with the masters of Bwiti, specifically in terms of the level of intelligence that they're accessing and that it's different. It's got a different quality to it. And so it was a really profound teaching. And one of the things, too, that I've learned is I use it to help me learn specific things. I don't know if I can give a positive testimonial, but I am learning French. [00:40:55.00] - Tricia Eastman And I noticed when I was in Aspen at the Abigain meeting, and I was with Mubeiboual, who speaks French, I started saying things French that I didn't even realize that I knew to say. I've had these weird moments where I'm actually using this tool And I'm also using it. I have a Gabonese harp. I don't know if you can see it up on the shelf over there. But I also went and asked for some help with downloading some assistance in the harp, then we'll see how that goes. [00:41:38.17] - Joe Moore Yeah. So that's brilliant. I'm thinking of other precedent for that outside of this context, and I can think of a handful. So I love that, like savant syndrome. And then there's a classic text called Ars Notoria that helps accelerate learning, allegedly. And then there's a number of other really interesting things that can help us gain these bits of wisdom and knowledge. And it does feel a little bit like the Dogon. The story I get is the receiving messages from the dog star, and therefore have all sorts of advanced information that they shouldn't we call it. Yeah. Yeah, which is fascinating. We have that worldwide. I think there's plenty of really interesting stuff here. So what I appreciated, Tricia, about how you're structuring your book, or you did structure your book, is that it it seems at the same time, a memoir, on another hand, workbook, like here are some exercises. On the other hand, like here's some things you might try in session. I really appreciated that. It was like people try to get really complicated when we talk about things like IFS. I'm like, well, you don't necessarily have to. You could. Or is this just a human thing, a human way to look at working with our parts? [00:43:20.15] - Joe Moore I don't know. Do you have any thoughts about the way you were approaching this parts work in your book versus how complicated some people make it feel? [00:43:30.00] - Tricia Eastman Yeah. I find that this is just my personal opinion, and no way to discredit Richard Schwartz's work. But parts work has existed in shamanism since forever. When we really look at even in ancient Egypt, Issus, she put Osiris act together. That was the metaphorical story of soul retrieval, which is really the spiritual journey of us reclaiming these pieces of ourselves that we've been disconnected from a society level or individually. And within the context of parts work, it's very organic and it feels other worldly. It's not like there's ever a force where I'm in the process with someone. And a lot of times I would even go into the process with people because they weren't accustomed to how to work with Iboga or game, and so they would be stuck. And then the minute I was like, you know, Iboga, in the tradition, it's really about... It's like the game Marco Polo. It's call and response. And so you're really an active participant, and you're supposed to engage with the spirits. And so the minute that things would show up, it'd be more about like, oh, what do you see? What's coming up here? Asking questions about it, being curious. [00:45:17.07] - Tricia Eastman If you could engage with it, sometimes there's processes where you can't really engage with things at all. So everything that I'm talking about is It was organically shown up as an active engagement process that it wasn't like we were going in. There have been some where you can guide a little bit, but you never push. It might be something like, go to your house, and it being completely unattached. And if they can't go there, then obviously the psyche doesn't want to go there, but it's really an exercise to help them to connect to their soul. And then in contrast, IFS is like, let's work on these different parts and identify these different parts of ourselves. But then let's give them fixed titles, and let's continually in a non-altered state of consciousness, not when we're meditating, not when we're actively in a state where we have the plasticity to change the pathway in the unconscious mind, but we're working in the egoic mind, and we're talking to these parts of ourselves. That could be helpful in the day-to-day struggles. Let's say you have someone who has a lot of rumination or a very active mind to have something to do with that. [00:46:57.01] - Tricia Eastman But that's not going to be the end-all, be-all solution to their problem. It's only moving the deck chairs around on the Titanic because you're still working in the framework where, I'm sorry, the Titanic is still sinking, and it may or may not be enough. It may or may not produce a reliable outcome that could be connected with some level of true relief and true connection within oneself. And so I think that people just... I feel like they almost get a little too... And maybe it's because we're so isolated and lonely, it's like, Oh, now I've got parts. I'm not by myself. I've got my fire I've got my firefighter, and I've got my guardian, and all these things. And I definitely think that IFS is a really great initiator into the idea of engaging with parts of ourselves and how to talk to them. But I don't think it's... And I think doing a session here and there, for some people, can be incredibly helpful, but to all of a sudden incorporate it in like a dogma is toxic. It's dangerous. And that's what we have to be really careful of. [00:48:23.25] - Joe Moore So thank you for that. There's a complicated discussion happening at the Aspen meeting. I think I was only sitting maybe 30 feet away from you. Sorry, I didn't say hi. But the folks from Blessings of the Forest were there, and I got a chance to chat with a number of them and learn more about nuclear protocols, biopiracy, literal piracy, and smuggling, and the works. I'm curious. This is a really complicated question, and I'm sorry for a complicated question this far in. But it's like, as we talk about this stuff publicly and give it increased profile, we are de facto giving more juice and energy to black markets to pirate. We're adding fuel to this engine that we don't necessarily want to see. Cameroon has nothing left, pretty much. From what I'm told, people from Cameroon are coming in, stealing it from Cabona, bringing it back, and then shipping it out. And there's It's like a whole worldwide market for this stuff. I witnessed it. This stuff. Yeah, right? This is real. So the people, the Buiti, and certain Gabanese farmers, are now being pirated. And international demand does not care necessarily about Nagoya compliance. United States didn't sign Nagoya protocol for this biopiracy protection, but we're not the only violator of these ethics, right? [00:50:00.22] - Joe Moore It's everywhere. So how do we balance thinking about talking about IBOCA publicly, given that there's no clean way to get this stuff in the United States that is probably not pirated materials? And as far as I know, there's only one, quote unquote, Nagoya compliant place. I've heard stories that I haven't shared publicly yet, that there's other groups that are compliant, too. But it's a really interesting conversation, and I'm curious of your perspectives there. [00:50:34.04] - Tricia Eastman I mean, this is a very long, drawn-out question, so forgive me if I give you a long, drawn-out answer. [00:50:41.01] - Joe Moore Go for it. [00:50:41.26] - Tricia Eastman It's all good. So in reality, I do believe... You know the first Ebo, Abogaine, that was done in the country was experiments on eight Black prisoners at a hospital under the MK program. [00:51:01.16] - Joe Moore Pre-lutz off, we were doing Abogaine tests on people. [00:51:06.00] - Tricia Eastman Yeah, so pre-Lutz off. I have a hypothesis, although a lot of people would already know me. [00:51:12.07] - Joe Moore No, I didn't know that. Thank you for sharing that with me. [00:51:14.13] - Tricia Eastman That's great. I'll send you some stuff on that. But the Aboga wanted to be here. The Abogaine wanted to be here. I think it's a complex question because on one side of the coin, you have the spirit of plants, which are wild and crazy sometimes. And then you have the initiatory traditions, which create a scaffolding to essentially put the lightning in a bottle, so to say, so that it's less damaging. [00:51:51.13] - Joe Moore It's almost like a temple structure around it. [00:51:53.16] - Tricia Eastman I like that. Yeah. Put a temple structure around it because it's like, yeah, you can work with new nuclear energy, but you have to wear gloves, you have to do all these different safety precautions. I would say that that's why these traditions go hand in hand with the medicine. So some people might say that the agenda of Iboga and even Abogaine might be a different agenda than the Buiti. And ultimately, whether we are Indigenous or not, the Earth belongs to everyone. It's capitalism and the patriarchy that created all these borders and all these separations between people. And in reality, we still have to acknowledge what the essence of Buiti is, which is really the cause and effect relationship that we have with everything that we do. And so some people might use the term karma. And that is if you're in Abogaine clinic and you're putting a bunch of videos out online, and that's spurring a trend on TikTok, which we already know is a big thing where people are selling illegal market, iBoga, is Is any of that your responsibility? Yes. And if I was to sit down with a kogi kagaba, which are the mamus from Colombia, or if I were to sit down with a who said, Hey, let's do a divination, and let's ask some deep questions about this. [00:53:54.01] - Tricia Eastman It would look at things on a bigger perspective than just like, Oh, this person is completely responsible for this. But when we're talking about a medicine that is so intense, and when I was younger, when I first met the medicine, I first was introduced in 2013 was when I first found out about Abigain and Iboga. And in 2014, I lived with someone who lived with a 14th generation Misoko, maybe it was 10th generation Misoco in Costa Rica. And then he decided to just start serving people medicine. And he left this person paralyzed, one person that he treated for the rest of his life. And Aubrey Marcus, it was his business partner for On It, and he's publicly talked about this, about the story behind this. If you go into his older podcasts and blog posts and stuff, he talks about the situation. And the reality is that this medicine requires a massive amount of responsibility. It has crazy interactions, such as grapefruit juice, for example, and all kinds of other things. And so it's not just the responsibility towards the buiti, it's also the responsibility of, does me talking about this without really talking about the safety and the risks, encourage other people. [00:55:49.10] - Tricia Eastman One of the big problems, back in the day, I went to my first guita conference, Global Abogaine Therapy Alliance in 2016. And And then, ISEARs was debating because there was all these people buying Abogaine online and self-detoxing and literally either dying or ending up in the hospital. And they're like, should we release protocols and just give people instructions on how to do this themselves? And I was like, no, absolutely not. We need to really look at the fact that this is an initiatory tradition, that it's been practiced for thousands of that the minimum level at which a person is administering in Gabon is 10 years of training. The way that we've made up for those mistakes, or sorry, not mistakes, lack of training is that we've used medical oversight. Most of the medical oversight that we've received has been a result of mistakes that were made in the space. The first patient that MAPS treated, they killed them because they gave them way over the amount of what milligrams per kilogram of Abigain that you should give somebody. Every single mistake that was made, which a lot of them related to loss of life, became the global Abogane Therapy Safety Guidelines. [00:57:28.19] - Tricia Eastman And so we've already learned from our mistakes here. And so I think it's really important that we understand that there's that aspect, which is really the blood on our hands of if we're not responsible, if we're encouraging people to do this, and we're talking about it in a casual way on Instagram. Like, yeah, microdosing. Well, did you know there was a guy prosecuted this last year, personal trainer, who killed someone And from microdosing in Colorado, the event happened in 2020, but he just got sentenced early 2025. These are examples that we need to look at as a collective that we need. So that's one side of it. And then the other side of it is the reciprocity piece. And the reciprocity piece related to that is, again, the cause and effect. Is A Abogaine clinic talking about doing Abogaine and doing video testimonials, spurring the efforts that are actively being made in Gabon to protect the cultural lineage and to protect the medicine. The reality is every Abogaine clinic is booked out for... I heard the next year, I don't know if that's fact or fiction, but someone told me for a year, because because of all the stuff with all the celebrities that are now talking about it. [00:59:05.20] - Tricia Eastman And then on top of that, you have all these policy, all these different advocacy groups that are talking about it. Essentially, it's not going to be seven... It's going to be, I would say, seven to 10 years before something gets through the FDA. We haven't even done a phase one safety trial for any of the Abigain that's being commercialized. And even if there's some magic that happens within the Trump administration in the next two years that changes the rules to fast track it, it's not going to cut it down probably more than a year. So then you're looking at maybe six years minimum. That whole time, all that strain is being put on Gabon. And so if you're not supporting Gabon, what's happening is it's losing a battle because the movement is gaining momentum, and Gabon cannot keep up with that momentum. It's a tiny country the size of Colorado. So my belief is that anyone who's benefiting from all the hype around Iboga and Abogayne or personally benefited with healing within themselves should be giving back, either to Ancestral Heart, to Blessings of the Forest, to any group that is doing authentic Indigenous-led biocultural stewardship work. [01:00:45.21] - Joe Moore Thanks for that. It's important that we get into some detail here. I wish we had more time to go further on it. [01:00:54.17] - Tricia Eastman I'll do a quick joke. I know. I have a lot. [01:00:57.17] - Joe Moore Yes. Now do Mike Tyson. Kidding. Yeah. So what did we maybe miss that you want to make sure people hear about your book, any biocultural stuff that you want to get out there? You can go for a few more minutes, too, if you have a few things you want to say. [01:01:20.03] - Tricia Eastman I mean, really, thank you so much for this opportunity. Thank you for caring and being so passionate about the context related to Buiti, which I think is so important. I would just say that I've been working with this medicine for... I've known about it for 13 years, and I've been working with it for 11 years, and this is my life. I've devoted my life to this work, me and my husband, both. And there isn't anything greater of a blessing that it has brought in our life, but it also is it's a very saturnian energy, so it brings chaos. It brings the deepest challenges and forces you to face things that you need to face. But also on the other side of the coin, everything that I've devoted and given back in service to this work has exponentially brought blessing in my life. So again, I see the issue with people doing these shortened processes, whether it's in an Abigain clinic where you just don't have the ritualistic sacred aspects of an initiatic context and really the rituals that really help integrate and ground the medicine. But you still have this opportunity to continue to receive the blessings. [01:03:09.23] - Tricia Eastman And I really feel in our current psychedelic movement, we essentially have a Bugatti. These medicines are the most finely-tuned sports car that can do every... Even more than that, more like a spaceship. We have this incredible tool, but we're driving it in first gear. We don't even really know how to operate it. It's like, well, I guess you could say flight of the Navigator, but that was a self-driving thing, and I guess, psychedelics are self-driving. But I feel that we are discounting ourselves so greatly by not looking into our past of how these medicines were used. I really think the biggest piece around that is consulting the genuine lineage carriers like Buiti elders, like Mubu Bwal, who's the head of Maganga Manan Zembe, And giving them a seat at the head of the table, really, because there's so much I know in my tradition, about what we do to bring cardiac safety. And why is it that people aren't dying as much in Gabon as they're dying in Abigan clinics. [01:04:37.28] - Joe Moore Shots fired. All right. I like it. Thank you. Thank you for everything you've done here today, I think harm reduction is incredibly important. Let's stop people dying out there. Let's do some harm reduction language. I actually was able to sweet talk my way into getting a really cool EKG recently, which I thought really great about. If you can speak clinician, you can go a long way sometimes. [01:05:11.20] - Tricia Eastman Yeah. Oh, no, go ahead. Sorry. [01:05:15.17] - Joe Moore No, that's all. That's all. So harm reduction is important. How do we keep people safe? How do we keep healing people? And thank you for all your hard work. [01:05:27.22] - Tricia Eastman Thank you. I really appreciate it. We're all figuring it out. No one's perfect. So I'm not trying to fire any shots at anybody. I'm just like, Guys, please listen. We need to get in right relationship with the medicine. And we need to include these stakeholders. And on the other side of the coin, I just want to add that there's a lot of irresponsible, claimed traditional practitioners that are running retreat centers in Mexico and Costa Rica and other places that are also causing a lot of harm, too. So the medical monitoring is definitely, if you're going to do anything, Because these people don't have the training, the worst thing you could do is not have someone going in blind that doesn't have training and not have had an EKG and all that stuff. But we've got a long way to go, and I'm excited to help support in a productive way, all coming together. And that's what me and Joseph have been devoted to. [01:06:45.02] - Joe Moore Brilliant. Tricia Eastman, thank you so much. Everybody should go check out your book Seeding Consciousness out now. The audiobook's lovely, too. Thank you so much for being here. And until next time. [01:07:00.14] - Tricia Eastman Thank you.
