Rescue operations are continuing in the Guinean capital, Conakry, where 30 people are known to have died following the collapse of a mountain of waste. Witnesses say the landfill has buried an apartment building along with informal dwellings. Also: Ukraine's sacked defence minister, Mikhailo Fedorov, has told the BBC he stands by his call for nationwide elections, even though the country is at war. More than 90,000 people have now been told to evacuate their homes in the US state of Nevada due to a fast-moving wildfire. Iran's currency, the Rial, has hit a record low. Washington DC has hosted an IndyCar race, in the final event celebrating 250 years of American independence.

For some 50 years, Leo Sarkisian was a worldwide staple on the overseas radio broadcast of Voice of America. A talented musician, raised in the Armenian community around Boston, Leo began traveling the world with his Nagra tape recorder and microphones for Tempo International, a Hollywood record label. His intrepid work in remote corners of Afghanistan and in newly independent Ghana and Guinea won him the attention of Edward R. Murrow, then at VOA. So began Leo's epic career as a documenter, archivist and popularizer of African music. He once said he had worked in every African country but one. In recognition of his passing in June, 2018, we revisit Leo's rich, fascinating conversation and music-sharing session with our own Georges Collinet. Expect lively exchanges between two radio icons, and some rare audio, including Leo's 1965 recording of Fela Kuti during his jazz years. Produced by Sean Barlow and Banning Eyre APWW #783
What does it take to become fluent in English when there is no one around you who speaks English? Meet my student, Gilbert. He's from Guinea, living in Morocco, studying engineering in French, and one of my New Sound Scholarship winners. In this conversation, Gilbert shares how he went from silent, afraid and unable to open his mouth to someone who speaks English with confidence, teaches others, and is now building a public speaking club in his own community. I hope you enjoy this interview!
Today, Les and John sit down with Tibor Nagy, former Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs and former Ambassador to Ethiopia and Guinea, to examine a fundamental shift in how Washington is approaching Sub-Saharan Africa. The Trump administration has broken from decades of aid-and-democracy-driven policy, positioning trade, investment, and strategic partnerships at the center of its Africa agenda — but ambitious intentions have run headlong into a hollowed-out diplomatic infrastructure, ambassador vacancies, and the chaotic dismantling of USAID.What does the collapse of the Sahel and the catastrophic conflict in Sudan reveal about the limits of drive-by diplomacy? Can the administration's business-first model deliver the jobs that Africa's exploding youth population desperately needs, or will poor implementation undermine the strategy before it takes root? With Gulf states, Turkey, and China all vying for influence across the continent, how should Washington prioritize its limited bandwidth — and where does competing with Beijing actually make sense?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.@lestermunson@johnclipsey@TiborPNagyJrLike what we're doing here?

In this episode of Working Papers, host Tim Phillips sits down with Prof. Tommaso Frattini (Deputy Director of CReAM at RFBerlin) and Dr. Giacomo Battiston (Senior Research Officer at RFBerlin) to look at what happens before someone decides to migrate. Anyone who migrates weighs the costs against the benefits: a journey that can cost thousands USD and carry real risk of violence, set against the promise of higher wages or simply safety. But do people know the true odds before they set out? And when governments respond with tougher borders or information campaigns, does any of it change the decision, or just move it somewhere else?Drawing on a field experiment with students in Guinea and on evidence from Europe's borders, Frattini and Battiston show that migration isn't a single choice but a chain of them. Better information can genuinely shift the decision: when potential migrants learn the real risks, many become less willing to go. Enforcement is more slippery. When the EU-Turkey deal closed the Eastern Mediterranean route in 2016, migrants didn't stop; within months they reappeared on the deadlier Central Mediterranean crossing. A policy that looks like a success at one border can leave the overall picture unchanged, and the journey more dangerous. As the researchers put it, migration is an investment, costs borne now for benefits hoped for later, sometimes for one's children rather than oneself. To know whether a policy works, you have to follow the whole journey, not just count arrivals at one border.Resources mentioned in the episode:

Finally back to the refencing project, Acorn sees the light at the end of the tunnel. Less than two weeks to get the project completed before Blind Hog's cataract surgery. Heat, cold, rain and heavy dew have not been kind to the goats but "we see this..." Acorn calls it "summer pneumonia" and it can take a goat in less than 48 hrs. Good news is that the majority of the herd look great. If Acorn could just clone the 12 or so who look superb...Tomatoes coming in splendidly, purple martins have fledged and fled, hummingbirds drinking more than 1/2 gallon of syrup a day now.Guinea keets growing like weeds and the first of the second batch are hatching. Not a bad week at the farm!
Kraniesamlinger, massehenrettelser, Hitler-beundring og spøgelser. Historien om Fransisco Macías handler om hvad der kan ske, hvis man gør en sindssyg person til almægtig diktator. Og her snakker vi ægte sindssyg. Ikke bare "wow, hans politik er skør"-sindssyg - eller "byggede han lige en 20 meter høj statue af sig selv"- sindssyg. Nej; "spændetrøje på en sikret overvåget anstalt, ingen skarpe genstande i nærheden" - sindssyg. På få år går Macías fra at være en - temmelig led - assistent-tolk i en provinsby i det lille vestafrikanske land Ækvatorial Guinea - til at være enerådig, og brutalt blodig, hersker over landet.

VERY Unusual start for August, but Blind Hog and Acorn are not complaining. After a few days of rain, the farmers were able to get out and about and start clearing brush and overhanging limbs on the west fence line.Blind Hog got his cataract evaluation and will be getting a new lens in mid August. Yay! The MD used a laser and cleared crud from behind the replacement lens in his left eye, and it is now brighter!Guinea peeps have hatched from batch 1... Six keets, but the unhatched keet that got thrown in the trash then found to still be alive is a bit slow, not sure it it will make it. We will see...

When Dance Changes Everything: Rebecca Davis and the Children Who Learned They MatterRebecca Davis thought dance would become her career. Instead, it became her calling.In this special HarmonyTALK encore presentation, host Lisa Champeau revisits one of the podcast's most inspiring conversations with the founder of MindLeaps, a nonprofit organization that has transformed the lives of thousands of vulnerable children around the globe through dance and education.Rebecca's journey began in Canada, where she spent years training as a dancer. But everything shifted when she realized movement could become much more than an art form. It could become a bridge to education, confidence and hope for children living in some of the world's most difficult circumstances.Today, MindLeaps serves street children and underserved youth in Rwanda, Guinea, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and other developing communities, using a unique dance curriculum to strengthen cognitive and social-emotional skills while preparing young people for success in school and in life.During this heartfelt conversation, Rebecca shares remarkable stories that seem almost impossible to imagine. Children from divided ethnic communities or war-torn villages finding common ground through movement. Young people who had been told by society they didn't matter discovering that they do.Lisa and Rebecca also explore what leadership looks like when it is rooted in compassion, why creativity can become one of the world's most powerful educational tools, and how one person's willingness to follow an unexpected path continues to create opportunities for children around the world. Thoughtful, moving, and hopeful, this encore conversation reminds us that sometimes changing the world begins with helping one child believe in themselves.

Año 1961. Tres exiliados en Venezuela (un portugués y dos españoles) conspiran en una azotea de Caracas, al abrigo de la noche. Se conjuran para lo imposible: tumbar las dictaduras de sus países y vengarse de ellas tomando un barco y sublevando primero Guinea y luego la Península Ibérica. Esta es la historia real que investiga el escritor José Ignacio Carnero en su nueva novela, 'Los fabuladores', que recoge la peripecia imposible de estos tres hombres y rasca en cuánta verdad y cuánta mentira existe en el propio relato de sus vidas y sus quijotescas aventuras.

As political and business leaders gather in Dalian, Liaoning province, for the 17th Annual Meeting of the New Champions of the World Economic Forum, global attention is turning to how China will use the event to reinforce its role in championing stable growth and practical cooperation at a time of mounting global economic uncertainty.各国政商领袖齐聚辽宁大连,出席世界经济论坛第十七届新领军者年会,全球目光聚焦中国将如何借助此次论坛,在全球经济不确定性持续攀升的当下,进一步发挥引领作用,倡导稳定增长与务实合作。Premier Li Qiang underscored China's commitment to strengthening cooperation with various countries in emerging sectors and enhancing development synergy, as he held a series of bilateral meetings with heads of government on Tuesday on the sidelines of the event, also known as the Summer Davos forum. The prime ministers Li met with were Guinea's Amadou Oury Bah, Kazakhstan's Olzhas Bektenov, the Republic of Korea's Kim Min-seok, Mongolia's Nyam-Osor Uchral and Montenegro's Milojko Spajic.本届论坛又称夏季达沃斯,李强总理于周二在论坛期间同多国政府首脑举行双边会见,着重阐明中方愿同各国加强新兴产业合作、提升发展协同效应。此次会见的各国总理包括几内亚总理阿马杜·乌里·巴、哈萨克斯坦总理奥尔扎斯·别克捷诺夫、韩国总理金民锡、蒙古国总理尼亚姆·奥索尔·乌其尔勒、黑山总理米洛伊科·斯帕伊奇。During the meeting with Bektenov, Li voiced China's readiness to work with Kazakhstan to expand bilateral trade, deepen cooperation in energy and mineral resources, enhance connectivity, and broaden collaboration in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, smart cities, big data and the digital economy — injecting fresh momentum into the modernization drive of both nations.在同别克捷诺夫会见时,李强表示,中方愿同哈萨克斯坦扩大双边贸易,深化能源矿产领域合作,提升互联互通水平,并拓展人工智能、智慧城市、大数据、数字经济等新兴领域协作,为两国现代化建设注入全新动能。While meeting with Kim, Li called on both sides to seize new opportunities for innovation-driven development, and stressed efforts to advance an open Asia-Pacific economy, uphold free trade and multilateralism, and keep global industrial and supply chains secure and stable.会见金民锡时,李强提出,中韩双方应抢抓创新驱动发展新机遇,着力推进开放型亚太经济,坚持自由贸易与多边主义,维护全球产业链供应链安全稳定。The foreign government heads pledged efforts to deepen collaboration with China across various sectors. Uchral Nyam-Osor, the Mongolian prime minister, said that Mongolia is ready to enhance synergy between its national development strategy and China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), and to bolster cooperation in trade, cross-border connectivity, infrastructure, energy and mining, agriculture and the green economy.各国政府首脑均承诺,将深化各领域对华合作。蒙古国总理尼亚姆·奥索尔·乌奇尔勒表示,蒙古愿推动本国发展战略同中国“十五”规划(2026—2030年)对接协同,加强贸易、跨境互联互通、基础设施、能源矿产、农业、绿色经济领域合作。The three-day event, which began on Tuesday, brings together more than 1,700 leaders from the business, government, academic and media communities from over 90 countries and regions to discuss ways to boost world economic growth and cooperation.本次论坛为期三日,自周二启幕,汇聚来自90多个国家和地区的1700余名商界、政界、学界、媒体代表,共同探讨提振全球经济增长、深化国际合作的路径。Long regarded as a key platform for promoting exchanges between China and the world and enhancing practical cooperation, the annual gathering also speaks volumes about global stakeholders' broad recognition of China and their unwavering confidence in its prospects amid worldwide volatility.该年会长期以来是联通中国与世界、推进务实合作的重要平台,也充分体现出,在全球局势动荡多变的背景下,全球各方利益相关者对中国的广泛认可,以及对中国发展前景坚定不移的信心。Some participants stressed that the world's second-largest economy is a reliable partner for joint innovation, practical cooperation and shared growth.多位参会代表强调,作为全球第二大经济体,中国是携手创新、务实合作、共赢发展的可靠伙伴。Pontus Erntell, who oversees Ikea's operations in China, described the country as a strategic market where the Swedish home furnishing giant has been deeply rooted for a long time.宜家中国区负责人庞安泽表示,中国是宜家这家瑞典家居巨头深耕多年的战略核心市场。"China is one of very few countries outside of Sweden where we have all parts of the value chain. It is a market where we truly want to develop, learn and collaborate with local partners," he said.他表示:“除瑞典本土外,全球极少有国家能让我们完整布局全产业链,中国就是其中之一。我们十分希望在这片市场深耕发展,与本土伙伴相互学习、携手合作。”Jiang Ying, chair of Deloitte China, said that China's complete industrial system, resilient economic fundamentals and continued high-level opening-up remain key pillars supporting the country's long-term growth.德勤中国主席蒋颖表示,完备的产业体系、富有韧性的经济基本盘、持续推进的高水平对外开放,是支撑中国长期稳定增长的核心支柱。Jiang said emerging sectors such as AI and the low-altitude economy are set to make further breakthroughs, while the coordinated development of traditional and new growth drivers will help sustain China's economic momentum.蒋颖提到,人工智能、低空经济等新兴产业将迎来更多突破,新旧增长动能协同发展,能够持续稳固中国经济增长动能。"The long-term value of the Chinese market lies in its vast and dynamic consumer base, vibrant technological and industrial innovation, and continued high-level opening-up," Jiang said.蒋颖称:“中国市场的长期价值,源于规模庞大、活力充沛的消费群体,蓬勃兴旺的产业技术创新,以及持续推进的高水平对外开放。”Chafic Nassif, senior vice-president at communications tech giant Ericsson and head of Ericsson Northeast Asia, said that China's combination of "scale, speed of execution and innovative industrial ecosystem" makes it a uniquely critical market in the global technology landscape.通信巨头爱立信东北亚区高级副总裁Chafic Nassif表示,中国兼具市场规模、落地执行效率与创新产业生态,在全球科技版图中拥有独一无二的重要地位。multilateralism /ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm/多边主义synergy /ˈsɪnədʒi/协同效应、发展合力stakeholder /ˈsteɪkhəʊldə(r)/利益相关方volatility /ˌvɒləˈtɪləti/动荡、波动resilient /rɪˈzɪliənt/有韧性的

Casi 6.000 personas solicitaron asilo el año pasado en las Islas Canarias. Muchas de ellas no cuentan con los recursos necesarios para valerse por si mismos y son acogidos temporalmente en centros como los gestionados por la Comisión Española de Ayuda al Refugiado, CEAR. Allí tratan de darles las herramientas necesarias para que logren integrarse a nivel personal pero también social. Nuestro enviado especial Manu Terradillos visitó uno de ellos. Desde Las Palmas de Gran Canaria El centro de acogida de Marpequeña en Telde, Las Palmas ,da refugio a entre 40 y 50 solicitantes de asilo con el objetivo de ser un apoyo más en su camino a la integración. En él viven y se forman estos migrantes en situación vulnerable, sin recursos económicos ni los conocimientos necesarios para establecerse por sí mismos en España. Vienen principalmente de África y Latinoamérica, aunque su procedencia varía en función de muchos factores, como la economía o las guerras. “Las personas que viven en nuestro centro son solicitantes de protección internacional, lo que comúnmente llamamos asilo. Ahora mismo la mayoría son de Mali, pero hemos tenido épocas, dependiendo de cómo va el mundo y la situación económica y geopolítica, que hemos tenido muchas personas de Venezuela, hemos tenido personas de Cuba, de Nicaragua, de Honduras, de Colombia, de Rusia, de Ucrania, muchas nacionalidades, cuenta a RFI Marita Legon, integradora social de CEAR Canarias. “De países africanos también, de Costa de Marfil, de Guinea, de Nigeria, de Somalia también hemos tenido”, añade. En el centro los residentes cuentan con habitaciones donde alojarse, un comedor, lugares de ocio y atención a niños, ya que hay varias madres llegadas con sus hijos, y también espacios para la formación. Aquí pueden permanecer hasta 18 meses y se les ayuda a entender cómo desenvolverse en la sociedad española, desde ir al médico o buscar alojamiento, hasta inscribir a un hijo en el colegio. No obstante, a veces hay que empezar por algo más básico, que se sientan en paz con sí mismos tras vivir momentos difíciles. Así lo explica Maritza: “Tienen derecho a la atención psicológica, porque muchas veces es muy, muy, muy importante para que puedan ir avanzando, porque muchos vienen con estrés postraumático, de la experiencia que ha sido la travesía, el llegar aquí”. La integradora social cuenta después qué herramientas les dan para que puedan integrarse: “También tienen derecho a una orientación de empleo y de idioma. Normalmente comienzan con el idioma español si vienen de países que no son de América Latina, por ejemplo. “Van a clases de español hasta que ya tienen un cierto nivel y pueden pasar a buscar cursos de formación ocupacional.

The conference includes classes in West African drumming and dance for beginners as well as experienced performers. Instructors are visiting from Guinea, Mali and Nigeria. Classes run Friday through Sunday at the Barbara Barker Center for Dance on the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Campus. A culminating performance, “Bridges of Rhythm: A Path of Generations,” is open to all this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Duniya Drum & Dance also teaches weekly community classes.Brotha Ase says: It's a great opportunity that you should take advantage of this weekend, if you're looking for something cool to do and getting some cultural healing in your spirit.— Brotha AsePlein Air painters flock to Red WingJoshua Cunningham is a landscape painter in St. Paul who works primarily with Groveland Gallery in Minneapolis. He highly recommends the 20th annual Red Wing Arts Plein Air events taking place this month. Artists are painting within a 25-mile radius of Red Wing, including in the city itself, over the next week. Opportunities to watch artists at work — and for kids to paint for free — include this Saturday from 9-11 at the Red Wing Arts. An exhibition of the work they create runs June 20 – Aug. 16 at the Depot.Joshua says: They have had between 50 and 100 paintings done every year, so you can imagine the body of work that has been created over the last 20 years. Though some of those areas get painted more frequently than others, [each] day only comes once. The light and the air of a given day is what defines all of the colors and the values — and often the mood of the place — so you're never really standing in the same place twice.— Joshua CunninghamFootball meets dance performanceScott Pakudaitis, board chair of Revolution Dance Works, has been a fan of Corpus Dance Works since he saw their fringe show inspired by plant biology in 2022. He's looking forward to their new dance show inspired by sports team culture, “Line of Scrimmage,” at Mixed Blood Theatre in Minneapolis June 11-15.He anticipates high energy and some comedy that will appeal to sports and dance fans alike:Scott says: They create very innovative and frenetic dances that touch on a lot of things that everybody can relate to. There will be things like mascots and a marching band and dancing referees, a look behind the locker room, tackles and lots of balls flying in the air from dancers who do not know how to catch footballs.— Scott Pakudaitis
In this episode, we chat with Jorge Ganoza, President, CEO, and Director of Fortuna Mining, a Canadian mid-tier precious metals producer with three operating mines and exploration activities located in Argentina, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Guyana, Peru, and Senegal. Now in its 21st year, Fortuna has undergone a significant evolution, building a reputation for disciplined execution, operational excellence, and strategic growth. Under Jorge's leadership, the company has successfully expanded its geographic footprint, strengthened its portfolio through acquisitions and divestments, and positioned itself for its next phase of growth. In this conversation, we discuss the leadership qualities required to succeed in the modern mining industry and how Jorge's own leadership approach has evolved throughout his career. We'll look back at Fortuna's journey over the past two decades, explore the company's strategy to achieve annual gold production of approximately 500,000 ounces by the second half of 2028, and examine how recent portfolio optimisation has strengthened the business. We also dive into some of Fortuna's most important growth initiatives and the company's growing exploration pipeline across West Africa and South America. Finally, we'll discuss Jorge's long-term vision for Fortuna and what investors, communities, and stakeholders can expect from the company as it moves toward the end of the decade This episode is brought to you by Mining International, a global executive search partner to the mining industry.

Managing localised political and security volatility requires strict asset evaluation alongside deeply communicative relationship-building with host governments to ensure smooth path-to-development timelines. With both the Seguela plant expansion in Côte d'Ivoire and the Diamba Sud project in Senegal heavily underway, Fortuna controls an organic 60% production growth path that does not depend on further acquisition or unproven exploration. BEST MOMENTS "Our strategy for the business is to have a business that can perform throughout the precious metals price cycle. In low prices, in medium prices, in high prices, Fortuna should be able to thrive." "More than getting bigger for bigger's sake, it's about putting together a portfolio of assets that can have those qualities... an asset base with competitive costs and exploration potential." "This business is built on operational discipline, but that will only take you as far as the asset allows you to at the end of the day."

The Overland Journal Podcast host Scott Brady and Clay Croft discuss XOVERLAND's 40,000-kilometer Africa crossing, recorded with just 300 kilometers remaining to Cape Agulhas. They navigate West Africa's uncertainties—coups, elections, and border hurdles—while managing sickness and tight schedules. Key practical lessons include maintaining a 1,000-kilometer fuel range due to local shortages. They credit their multi-skilled team and local support for overcoming challenges like Guinea's extreme roads and infrastructure gaps. Reviewing vehicle performance, they highlight the reliability of Toyota hybrid drivetrains on varied fuel quality, Mobil 1 fluids, and Starlink connectivity. Despite minimal mechanical issues, they suggest future modifications like enhanced front protection for the Tacomas. This expedition underscores the resilience required for transcontinental travel through one of the world's most demanding environments.
The practice of healthcare is inherently powerful, and our patients are vulnerable to our power.

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on February 21, 2021. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed. Two viruses, two vaccines, one unequal system: Guinean health officials declared an Ebola epidemic after reporting the first cases of the virus since West Africa’s deadly outbreak ended in 2016. One thing that has changed since that last outbreak: the availability of a vaccine. But like we have seen with the coronavirus pandemic, the existence of a vaccine does not necessarily mean access to one.

La esclavitud fue una institución milenaria y universal. Existió en todas las civilizaciones a lo largo y ancho del mundo. Da igual donde y cuando miremos. La encontramos en Sumeria, en la antigua Roma, en el islam y en los imperios prehispánicos de América. Nadie la cuestionaba y parecía que iba a existir siempre. Pero entre finales del siglo XVIII y finales del XIX esa estructura se desmoronó. Las raíces del movimiento abolicionista se encuentran en el cristianismo, que aceptó la esclavitud, pero no entre cristianos. En la Edad Media la esclavitud se redujo mucho en Europa occidental, pero resurgió con fuerza tras la llegada de los portugueses al golfo de Guinea y de los españoles al continente americano. Isabel la Católica prohibió esclavizar a los indígenas, pero no a los africanos, lo que permitió que los españoles primero y luego las potencias europeas con intereses en América empezasen a llevar esclavos desde África dando origen a la trata atlántica. El abolicionismo en América surgió entre entre los cuáqueros. En el siglo XVIII se sumaron predicadores como John Newton, autor de Amazing Grace, y filósofos ilustrados como Locke, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Voltaire y Kant, que ofrecieron a la causa de la abolición un fundamento racional y secular. El Reino Unido, curiosamente la mayor potencia esclavista de la época, fue quien más esfuerzos hizo por acabar con la esclavitud. El caso Somerset de 1772 liberó a los esclavos en suelo inglés. Años más tarde la Sociedad para la Abolición, fundada en 1787, creo la campaña política moderna con panfletos, medallones, boicots y peticiones al parlamento. Crearon también un nuevo género, el de los testimonios de antiguos esclavos. Algunos como los de Olaudah Equiano, Quobna Cugoano, Ignatius Sancho y Mary Prince conmovieron a la opinión pública y fueron de vital importancia para influir sobre la agenda legislativa. En el Parlamento un diputado llamado William Wilberforce fue quien se encargó de dar la batalla durante casi 20 años hasta lograr la prohibición de la trata en 1807. La Royal Navy comenzó a patrullar las costas africanas para capturar a los barcos negreros. La diplomacia británica, entretanto, presionaba a las potencias coloniales para que ilegalizasen la compra de esclavos. En 1833 el parlamento aprobó la Slavery Abolition Act que liberó a los 800.000 esclavos del imperio. Los dueños fueron indemnizados con una suma tan elevada que el Gobierno británico tuvo que pedir el dinero prestado. Francia abolió definitivamente la esclavitud en 1848, los Países Bajos en 1863, Portugal en 1869. Estados Unidos resolvió la cuestión en el campo de batalla con una una guerra civil que alumbró la Decimotercera Enmienda de 1865. En España la abolición llegó primero a Puerto Rico en 1873 y luego a Cuba en 1886, tras el sistema transitorio del patronato. Brasil hizo lo propio en 1888, pero aquello costó el trono a los Braganza. El proceso coincidió con la revolución industrial, pero las plantaciones en las Antillas eran rentables. Había algo más que empujó esta idea, el convencimiento íntimo de aquellos europeos de que la esclavitud era incompatible con la dignidad humana. Eso persuadió a las mismas sociedades que se beneficiaban de ella para que renunciaran voluntariamente a una institución milenaria en apenas cinco generaciones.

El redescubrimiento de las Canarias por parte de los europeos se produjo durante el siglo XIV. Una serie de expediciones mallorquinas, portuguesas, italianas y castellanas tocaron las costas insulares con diversos propósitos, desde la captura de esclavos hasta la evangelización. La presencia castellana se afianzó con la expedición de Jean de Béthencourt y Gadifer de la Salle entre 1402 y 1405, que ocuparon las islas de Lanzarote, Fuerteventura y El Hierro para convertirlas en señoríos castellanos. A mediados del siglo XV, La Palma, Tenerife y Gran Canaria seguían siendo independientes. Gran Canaria, la tercera isla más extensa del archipiélago, estaba dividida en dos guanartematos, el de Telde y el de Gáldar. Aquellos canarios tenían una sociedad relativamente compleja que vivía de la agricultura y la ganadería caprina. Era además una isla fácil de defender por su gran tamaño y su abrupto relieve. Pero los castellanos estaban determinados a conquistar la isla porque era de gran valor estratégico para controlar las rutas marítimas hacia el África occidental. Tenía además un potencial azucarero similar al de Madeira, una isla más al norte que los portugueses habían convertido en un próspero ingenio. El tratado de Alcazobas, firmado en 1479 tras la guerra de sucesión castellana, permitió a los Reyes Católicos concentrarse en las Canarias a cambio de reconocer la primacía portuguesa en Madeira, las Azores, Cabo Verde y el golfo de Guinea. La Corona decidió entonces asumir directamente la conquista de Gran Canaria como una empresa propia. La primera fase comenzó en junio de 1478 con el desembarco de Juan Rejón en La Isleta, donde fundó el Real de Las Palmas. La batalla del Guiniguada enfrentó a las tropas castellanas con los canarios mandados por el guanarteme de Gáldar y por el caudillo Doramas. Pese a la bravura indígena, la superioridad técnica castellana se impuso. Las disputas internas culminaron con la ejecución del alcaide Pedro de Algaba por orden de Rejón, que sería asesinado posteriormente en La Gomera por agentes de Hernán Peraza. En 1480 la reina Isabel intervino nombrando a Pedro de Vera, un jerezano curtido en la frontera granadina, que abandonó la idea de batirse con los canarios en campo abierto. En su lugar se decantó por avanzar hacia el interior de la isla fortificándose por el camino. Junto a eso de Vera explotó en su beneficio las rivalidades internas, se atrajo aliados indígenas y contó con la labor evangelizadora de fray Juan de Frías, lo que anticiparía los métodos que aplicarían décadas después Hernán Cortés y Francisco Pizarro en las Indias. La conquista concluyó entre 1482 y 1483. La captura del caudillo Tenesor Semidán, al que bautizaron en Castilla como don Fernando Guanarteme, resultó de una importancia capital. Guanarteme se encargó de ir convenciendo a los isleños para que no resistiesen a la conquista. Pero no lo consiguió con todos. Los irreductibles, capitaneados por Bentejuí y el faycán de Telde, se atrincheraron en Ansite. Rodeados por las tropas castellanas el 29 de abril de 1483 se arrojaron al vacío antes de rendirse. La Corona procedió entonces al repartimiento de tierras, introdujo la caña de azúcar y se formó una sociedad mestiza con colonos peninsulares y de otras partes de Europa. De aquel crisol humano y cultural surgiría la Gran Canaria moderna. Para hablar de esta conquista nos acompaña hoy en La ContraHistoria Carlos Pérez Simancas, nuestro experto en historia de las Canarias con quien ya vimos hace tiempo la conquista de la isla vecina, la de Tenerife, que se realizó unos años después.

Overland Journal Podcast host Scott Brady interviews recent world record holder John Ballsdon of Always Look Twice about his 28-day drive from Nordkapp, Norway to Cape Agulhas, South Africa, largely hugging West Africa's coast in two Ineos Grenadiers, one towing a Bruder trailer. John shares how his mother, a professional photographer, shaped his attention to detail and how early travels to India and later living 10.5 years in Moscow fueled a lifelong drive to document landscapes and cultures. They discuss staying grounded after travel through planning, journaling, and reflection, plus the contrasts of living abroad versus passing through. John explains why he pursued the record as an antidote to “doom scrolling,” highlights Guinea and the North Cape, describes low points in Angola, a lost passport recovered through Nigerian kindness, vehicle prep and fuel strategy, and a forthcoming feature-length film planned for autumn.
