In Congo en Uganda zijn honderden besmettingen met een nieuwe variant van ebola. Wat maakt deze crisis zo gevaarlijk? Melanie legt het je uit.

In Congo en Oeganda gaat een zeldzame en hardnekkige variant van ebola rond. Er zijn al zeker 139 mensen overleden, nadat het virus wekenlang ongecontroleerd kon rondgaan. Ondertussen is er geen effectieve behandeling en geen vaccin beschikbaar. Hoe gevaarlijk is deze uitbraak? Moeten we vrezen voor een pandemie? Hoofdredacteur Pieter Klok spreekt erover met buitenlandredacteur Carlijn van Esch en zorgverslaggever Maud Effting. Lees ook: ‘Het kan snel gaan, dit virus is heel agressief’ Studenten opgelet!

In Congo è scoppiato un nuovo focolaio di ebola e l'Oms ha dichiarato l'emergenza sanitaria internazionale per rispondere immediatamente. In quella zona c'è un forte viavai di persone per via di molte miniere.  Terminati i colloqui tra Stati Uniti e Cina senza grandi risoluzioni, mentre nel golfo Persico proseguono i lanci incrociati: ieri un drone ha colpito l'unica centrale nucleare della regione negli Emirati Arabi Uniti.  La professoressa Monica Montefalcone era tra i 5 sub dispersi il 14 maggio scorso. Da anni collaborava con LifeGate per il ripristino degli ecosistemi marini in Italia.    Rassegna stampa:  Chi era Monica Montefalcone, la scienziata che aveva fatto del mare la sua missione, Valentina Neri 

In Congo is er een nieuwe Ebola-uitbraak waarbij al meer dan 80 mensen gestorven zijn. De Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie roept de internationale noodsituatie uit. Hoe bezorgd moeten we zijn? Volgens Amnesty International is het aantal mensen dat om het leven komt door executie in een jaar tijd met bijna 80 procent gestegen. Wie zijn de mensen achter de cijfers? En in Zuid-Korea doet een Boeddhistische robotmonnik zijn intrede. Gaan technologie en religie goed samen?

Today I spoke with Lesley Nicole Braun to talk about her new book on Congo's dancers. Dance music plays a central role in the cultural, social, religious, and family lives of the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Among the various genres popular in the capital city of Kinshasa, Congolese rumba occupies a special place and can be counted as one of the DRC's most well-known cultural exports. The public image of rumba was historically dominated by male bandleaders, singers, and musicians. However, with the introduction of the danseuse (professional concert dancer) in the late 1970s, the role of women as cultural, moral, and economic actors came into public prominence and helped further raise Congolese rumba's international profile. In Congo's Dancers: Women and Work in Kinshasa (U Wisconsin Press, 2023), Lesley Nicole Braun uses the prism of the Congolese danseuse to examine the politics of control and the ways in which notions of visibility, virtue, and socio-economic opportunity are interlinked in this urban African context. The work of the danseuse highlights the fact that public visibility is necessary to build the social networks required for economic independence, even as this visibility invites social opprobrium for women. The concert dancer therefore exemplifies many of the challenges that women face in Kinshasa as they navigate the public sphere, and she illustrates the gendered differences of local patronage politics that shape public morality. As an ethnographer, Braun had unusual access to the world she documents, having been invited to participate as a concert dancer herself. Dr. Suvi Rautio is an anthropologist of China.

In Congo moeten bedrijven die daar naar bijzondere aardmetalen delven, een percentage van de omzet afstaan aan het land. Zo kunnen scholen en ziekenhuizen worden gebouwd en ziet de bevolking iets terug van de miljardenwinsten. Recent bleek dat meerdere mijnbouwbedrijven deze regel aan hun laars proberen te lappen. Het lijkt een ver-van-ons-bed-show, maar dat is het niet, want een van die bedrijven is gevestigd in Amsterdam. Lukas Kotkamp vertelt over deze cruciale wereldhandel, waarbij onder meer Nederland, Kazachstan, Hongkong en Congo zijn betrokken. Wie bijzondere aardmetalen komt winnen in Congo, moet een deel van de omzet afstaan aan de Congolese staat. Zo ziet de bevolking iets terug van de miljardenwinsten. Maar meerdere mijnbouwbedrijven proberen deze regel te omzeilen. Een van die bedrijven is gevestigd in Amsterdam. Journalist Lukas Kotkamp legt uit hoe dat zit.

It's Monday, June 23rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Christian persecution pervades Christian-majority nations in Africa & Latin America Many Christians across Africa and Latin America continue to suffer for their faith because of Islamic oppression, dictatorial paranoia, and criminal cartel organizations, reports International Christian Concern. Large populations in Cuba, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mexico, Mozambique, Nicaragua, and Nigeria are predominantly Christian. Yet, many Christ followers in these nations are often brutally attacked for following Christ, and their governments are failing to protect them.  In Congo, Christians represent 95% of the nation's population, yet they are being slaughtered at alarming rates. Much of the killing is being done by Islamist groups like ISIS-DRC, also known as the Allied Democratic Forces. Likewise, in Mozambique, 62% of the population is composed of Christians, yet Islamic extremists still target them for their faith. According to Open Doors, these extremists have “target[ed] Christian places of worship, abducted religious leaders, and killed numerous believers.”  And in Cuba, the Catholic Church estimates that 60% of the population practices Catholicism. Cuban churches that publicly oppose the government's human rights abuses are targeted by authorities for harassment and intimidation. British House of Commons passes dangerous bill legalizing assisted suicide Members of the British House of Commons voted Friday to pass a dangerous bill to legalize assisted suicide, reports LifeNews.com. In a vote of 314 to 291, Members of Parliament put their stamp of approval on the bill that will likely result in pressuring disabled and elderly people to kill themselves. Isaiah 59:7 says, “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.” Tim Dieppe, Head of Policy at Christian Concern, was outraged. DIEPPE: “Once you legalize assisted suicide, you will put pressure on vulnerable people. Vulnerable people will feel like they're a burden to others. People will be suggesting assisted suicide. Doctors could suggest it. I mean, that's horrific. You know, my wife died of cancer three years ago. I can't imagine what it would be like if her consultant had suggested suicide.” Labour legislator Diane Abbott said she's concerned that for-profit companies will run assisted dying businesses that take advantage of killing people for money. Members of Parliament had only 10 hours to consider over 130 amendments to the bill, or less than 5 minutes per change. America bombed Iran's nuclear facilities On Saturday, the U.S. military bombed three sites in Iran, directly joining Israel's effort to decapitate the country's nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran's threat of reprisals that could spark a wider regional conflict, reports the Associated Press. TRUMP: “A short time ago, the US military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise. Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror. “Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier. For 40 years, Iran has been saying, ‘Death to America, Death to Israel.'” The decision to directly involve the U.S. in the war comes after more than a week of strikes by Israel on Iran that aimed to systematically eradicate the country's air defenses and offensive missile capabilities, while damaging its nuclear enrichment facilities. TRUMP: “I want to thank and congratulate [Israeli] Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done. And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades.” (Learn more about the timeline that led up to America's bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities.) Iran threatens to block Strait of Hormuz, blocking 20% of oil shipments In response, Iran is reportedly saying it will block the Strait of Hormuz and stop oil shipments for what amounts to 20% of the world's daily oil flow and up to $1 billion, which will send oil prices soaring globally, reports NewsMax. Needless to say, Iran has no legal authority to block traffic through Hormuz, and blockage would mean direct combat with U.S. naval assets, including the U.S. Fifth Fleet warships patrolling the region. Dear Lord, We pray for peace. Amen. The 30,000-pound bunker bomb that made the difference In a post on TruthSocial, Trump said, “There is not another military in the world that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!” Indeed, America's 30,000-pound bunker buster bomb offered the best chance of destroying heavily fortified sites connected to the Iranian nuclear program buried deep underground. Appearing on ABC News, Retired Lt. General Doug Lute explained. LUTE: “The original purpose of building this bomb was actually concern about the North Korean deeply buried nuclear related sites. So, this didn't originally have anything to do with Iran. But most recently, it's the only bomb in our inventory, or frankly, in the global inventory, that promises some prospect of actually penetrating the mountainside in which the crown jewel of the Iranian nuclear program, the Fordow site, is located. So, this is our best technological advantage in terms of trying to get to that site.” 90% of Trump Republicans say “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon” Appearing on Fox News Channel with Dana Perino, Chris Stirewalt summarized Trump's mindset about Iran. STIREWALT: “I think that Donald Trump has never wavered from the ultimate objective, which is that the Iranian nuclear program has to end. It has to be dismantled. It has to be destroyed. The only question has been whether it's done militarily or whether it's done voluntarily. “He gave them a 60-day deadline. They let the deadline pass, and so Israel began bombing on Day 61 and now he is basically holding out. ‘This is your last chance. The time for negotiation is over. There's not going to be any kind of deal.' “This is a question of whether Iran cries ‘amo,' which is Persian for ‘uncle,' and allows U.S. to come in and blow up Fordow from the inside, or we do it from without, from the skies above, with B2 bombers. But I think there is zero chance that the Fordow nuclear facility survives this encounter.” Stirewalt asserted that the Make America Great Again crowd is supportive of Trump's decision to bomb Iran. STIREWALT: “The idea that there's a schism in the Republican Party, or that the Trump Coalition is breaking up is completely absurd. The Reagan Institute is coming out with a new poll this weekend. 90% of self-described [Make America Great Again] Republicans say Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. 80% say that Israel's security is vital to our security. 64% support Israel bombing the nuclear facilities. There is absolutely no daylight between Donald Trump and the  [Make America Great Again] movement. The MAGA movement is absolutely behind Donald Trump in getting rid of this nuclear program.” On Truth Social, President Trump posted, “I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal.” He concluded, “This is an historic moment for the United States of America, Israel, and the world. Iran must now agree to end this war.” Texas answers  “What is a Woman?” in state law Last Friday, Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott signed into law the “What is a Woman Bill” also known as House Bill 229, reports Texas Values. Now, in Texas, men can no longer pretend to be women. The law accurately defines the terms “man”, “woman”, “boy”, and “girl” by scientific definitions and biological reality. The effect would be that biological  women will have their rights, opportunities, and privacy protected by law. Genesis 1:27 states,  “So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.” While Texas already has laws protecting women's sports, there have been many other threats to women's prisons, sororities, and private spaces like locker rooms.  Hockey player gives glory to God after winning Stanley Cup The Russian-born goaltender of the National Hockey League's Florida Panthers, Sergei Bobrovsky, gave glory to God upon his victory after his team won the famed Stanley Cup, the championship trophy in the NHL, for the second year in a row, reports LifeSiteNews.com. REPORTER: “What makes this one special?” BOBROVSKY: “I mean, it's amazing feeling, and I want to say glory to the father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. I want to thank him for everything I have, for my parents, for my family.” Worldview listener in California is grateful the whole family can listen I invited Worldview listeners to share what they enjoy about the newscast in 2-6 sentences by email.  You can share your thoughts — along with your full name, city and state — and send it to adam@TheWorldview.com Carri Andry in Morgan Hill, California wrote, “Hi Adam!

Toen Rusland Oekraïne binnenviel, werden er al heel snel sancties uitgevaardigd. In Congo is een gelijkaardige situatie aan de gang, waar M23-rebellen met de steun van Rwanda het oosten van Congo veroveren. Waarom volgen er geen sancties voor Rwanda? En waarom zijn we zo lief voor president Kagame, terwijl hij een veroveringsoorlog steunt?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Congo, il gruppo M23 dichiara la tregua e dice di non avere intenzione di conquistare Bukavu. Tutto dipenderà dall'incontro tra i presidenti Tshisekedi e Kagame previsto per sabato. Ne parliamo con Patrick Syaluha, corrispondente a Goma per la rete congolese B-one Tv. Nel frattempo, il presidente Trump è alle prese con altri due conflitti. Quello israelo-palestinese, per cui il presidente incontrerà Benjamin Netanyahu oggi, e quello tra Russia e Ucraina, di cui discuterà con l'omonimo russo a data da destinarsi. Ne parliamo con Michael Milshstein, responsabile del Centro per gli studi palestinesi del Dayan Center dell'Università di Tel Aviv, e con Antonella Scott, firma del Sole 24Ore, esperta di Russia.

Send us a textEpisode 169Anthony Bourdain never just sat at the table; he burned it, flipped it over, and wrote a damn good story about it. A chef, a traveler, a provocateur, and a poet of the unsanitized world, Bourdain ripped through life with a cigarette in one hand and a pen in the other. He wasn't born into greatness; he clawed his way through the grime of dish pits and the drudgery of New York kitchens until his 2000 memoir, Kitchen Confidential, dropped like a Molotov cocktail in the sanitized world of Food Network fluff. Overnight, the culinary world had its anti-hero—a guy who'd rather eat a questionable sausage from a street vendor in Hanoi than sip champagne in a Michelin-starred dining room.Bourdain didn't just change television; he set it on fire and let it burn until something real emerged. A Cook's Tour was his first attempt at blending food and travel, but it was No Reservations that solidified his place as the Hunter S. Thompson of gastronomy. The man wasn't interested in perfect plating or 30-minute meals. He wanted the dirt, the grease, the stories behind the food. And he found it in the strangest places—drinking moonshine with bootleggers, eating fermented shark in Iceland, or sitting on a plastic stool in Vietnam while slurping pho and changing the world's perception of what food television could be.And the people—oh, the people he met. Bourdain was a magnet for the misfits, the outcasts, the ones with stories etched into their hands and their faces. He didn't just interview chefs or politicians; he broke bread with locals, the kind of folks most travelers don't even see. In Beirut, he ate mezze with civilians in the middle of a warzone. In Congo, he sat with fishermen who had nothing but still shared everything. His genius was his ability to listen, to be vulnerable, to be uncomfortable. He was a tall, lanky, tattooed confession booth where the world's forgotten souls poured their stories, and he carried their weight with a strange kind of grace.Bourdain wasn't fearless; he was brave. Fearless is easy—just ignore the danger. But brave? Brave is walking into a jungle, a slum, a war zone, and still saying, “Yes, I'll try that goat testicle soup.” Brave is telling the truth, even when it's ugly, even when it makes you the bad guy. And that's what he did, over and over again. He called out the bullshit of the food industry, the travel industry, and sometimes himself. He wasn't always right, but he was always honest.In the end, Bourdain's legacy isn't just the shows he made or the places he went. It's the way he made us all a little braver, a little hungrier for the world, and a little more willing to sit down with strangers and say, “Tell me your story.” He showed us that food isn't just sustenance—it's a bridge, a weapon, a love letter, and sometimes, a hard truth. And damn it, we're all better for it.Music:Iggy Pop - Lust for LifeJonathan Richman - RoadrunnerSupport the showInsta@justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.comArtwork @digitalnomadicart on Insta

Het familieverleden van de Van Thillo's heeft een duistere kant. Het fundament van het imperium is opgebouwd met geld verkregen uit collaboratie met de Duitse bezetter, en dat is natuurlijk niet iets om trots op te zijn.   De broer van de opa van Christian, ‘nonkel' Renaat, was eind jaren 30 zeer actief aan de uiterst rechtse kant van de Vlaamse beweging. Deze Vlaamse beweging collaboreert dan met de Duitse bezetter om haar eigen politieke idealen te verwezenlijken: een onafhankelijk Vlaanderen.   De hoogste ambtenaren die België besturen in bezettingstijd, uiteraard onder controle van de bezetter, richten in 1940 een nieuwe organisatie op: de Vrijwillige arbeidsdienst voor Vlaanderen (VAVV). Nonkel Renaat wordt voorman van de VAVV en maakt er geleidelijk aan zijn eigen instrument van. Hij trekt sympathisanten van de collaboratiebeweging aan om binnen de VAVV leidinggevende functies uit te voeren. Het eerste blaadje dat de VAVV maakt is eigenlijk de start van het uitgeefimperium. Dit blaadje was wel onder auspiciën van de Duitsers en het ministerie, niet heel journalistiek onafhankelijk dus, maar in de colofon staat dat Renaat de uitgever is van het blad. Hij leidt het als een dictatoriale hoofdredacteur.  Ná de oorlog vlucht Renaat naar Argentinië, omdat hij veroordeeld wordt voor het plegen van oorlogsmisdaden. Broer Bill, de opa van Christian, neemt de boedel van de uitgeverij van Renaat over, inclusief het deel van het personeel dat fout was in de oorlog. Bill was een zeer handige jongen. Niet per se bezig met het onderhouden van een Nazi-netwerk of carrière maken bij de bezetter, maar helemaal brandschoon was hij ook niet. In Congo bezat hij een koffie- rubber en palmboomplantage. Hij leverde wapens aan de dictator Perón in Argentinië en aan Nasser in Egypte. In het voormalig Joegoslavië bezat hij een kolenmijn. In die tijd heette dit gewoon ‘handel'. Later werd hij een ‘keurige' bankier. Kwam via allerlei goeie connecties te werken bij een bank, werd daar mede-eigenaar en kon zijn fortuin rustig verder uitbouwen.  Binnen de overgenomen uitgeverij geeft Bill de bestaande titels een make-over om ze wat luxer in de markt te zetten. Dat werkt goed. Zoon Ludo, vader van Christian, neemt jaren later de positie van Bill over, maar blijkt geen groot visionair. Hij was een typische rijkeluiszoon, die nooit heeft hoeven werken voor zijn geld. Ook Christian leek de kant op te gaan van de snelle auto's, chique restaurants en mooie vrouwen. Waarom hij toch ineens interesse kreeg in het familiebedrijf hoor je in de volgende aflevering.    Over de makers   Journalist Mark Koster volgde Van Thillo bijna twee jaar lang.

Boeren protesteren al wekenlang, deze week viseren ze de havens. Boeren voelen zich namelijk ongelijk behandeld in vergelijking met de industrie. Maar waarom zijn er andere stikstofregels voor boeren dan voor de industrie? In Congo kwamen honderden mensen op straat om aandacht te vragen voor de bloedige en vergeten oorlog in het oosten. Wat speelt er in dit conflict? En vandaag 25 jaar geleden werd de Koerdische leider Abdullah Öcalan opgepakt. Hoe is de relatie vandaag tussen Turken en Koerden?

In Congo woedt een heftige, onderbelichte crisis vanwege de strijd om waardevolle grondstoffen, waarbij lokale militante groepen vechten, burgers worden vermoord en er hongersnood heerst. Met buurlanden op scherp en mensen op de vlucht blijft deze situatie grotendeels onbesproken. In deze episode spreken we met Carla Kabamba en Desire Maingole over hoe Nederland kan helpen, waarom Congo genegeerd wordt door westerse media en waarom politieke leiders 25 miljoen mensen aan hun lot overlaten. Tijd om deze kwestie aan te pakken. Verder spreken we over de nieuwe serie Santos met Ivan Barbosa en Adison dos Reis. Host: Awura Abena Productie: www.alkebulan.nlAbonneer je voor meer inzichten en inspirerende gesprekken in Late Night Talks!Luister LNT op: Spotify: https://spotify.link/XuQbRaDYnDbApple podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast...

Na lang onderhandelen hebben het Europees Parlement en de lidstaten een akkoord bereikt over een hervorming van het asiel- en migratiebeleid van de Europese Unie. Doel is de illegale migratie naar Europa in te dammen. Wat zal er veranderen? In Congo zijn er presidentsverkiezingen. Wat staat er op het spel? Sommige experts twijfelen aan de kwaliteit van de restauratie van Het Lam Gods van de gebroeders Van Eyck. Maar is er wel een 'juiste' manier om een schilderij te restaureren?

Today I spoke with Lesley Nicole Braun to talk about her new book on Congo's dancers. Dance music plays a central role in the cultural, social, religious, and family lives of the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Among the various genres popular in the capital city of Kinshasa, Congolese rumba occupies a special place and can be counted as one of the DRC's most well-known cultural exports. The public image of rumba was historically dominated by male bandleaders, singers, and musicians. However, with the introduction of the danseuse (professional concert dancer) in the late 1970s, the role of women as cultural, moral, and economic actors came into public prominence and helped further raise Congolese rumba's international profile. In Congo's Dancers: Women and Work in Kinshasa (U Wisconsin Press, 2023), Lesley Nicole Braun uses the prism of the Congolese danseuse to examine the politics of control and the ways in which notions of visibility, virtue, and socio-economic opportunity are interlinked in this urban African context. The work of the danseuse highlights the fact that public visibility is necessary to build the social networks required for economic independence, even as this visibility invites social opprobrium for women. The concert dancer therefore exemplifies many of the challenges that women face in Kinshasa as they navigate the public sphere, and she illustrates the gendered differences of local patronage politics that shape public morality. As an ethnographer, Braun had unusual access to the world she documents, having been invited to participate as a concert dancer herself. Dr. Suvi Rautio is an anthropologist of China.

Nonostante le proteste e le pressioni di varie Ong l'Italia non ha revocato l'accordo con la Libia per la “gestione” dei migranti, accordo che quindi si rinnoverà automaticamente per altri tre anni. In Congo, intanto, la situazione sembra sul punto di precipitare dopo che i caschi blu dell'Onu hanno annunciato il ritiro dal paese, mentre in Sudan prosegue la protesta pacifica della popolazione contro il regime militare. Parliamo anche della Conference of Youth, la conferenza dei giovani sul clima di Sharm El Sheik che precede COP27, del governo messicano che restituisce alcuni terreni agli Yaqui e infine nuovamente della questione rave party.INDICE: 00:48 - Si rinnova il memorandum della vergogna fra Italia e Libia04:50 - Il Congo sull'orlo dell'escalation della guerra?11:33 - La resistenza pacifica in Sudan16:05 - Verso COP 27: p iniziata la Conference of Youth20:44 - Il Messico restituisce le terre degli Yaqui20:19 - Qualche considerazione ulteriore sui rave partyTutte le notizie qui: https://www.italiachecambia.org/rassegna-stampa/rinnovo-memorandum-italia-libia_______________Abbonati: https://www.italiachecambia.org/abbonati/Seguici su:Telegram - https://t.me/itachecambiaInstagram (Italia che Cambia) - italiachecambiaInstagram (Andrea Degl'Innocenti) - deglinnocentiandreaFacebook - /itachecambia

In each field service, Mercy Ships hires local people to work onboard our hospital ship. In Congo, Clem, a day-crew in our communications department, had a BIG problem – he couldn't find his ID book. 

In België werd hij veroordeeld voor miljoenenfraude. Volgens de Amerikanen financiert hij terroristen. In Congo ging zijn zakenimperium ondergronds, maar bleef het de familie-Kabila spekken, kappen in het regenwoud en EU-subsidies opstrijken. Zelf voelt hij zich als een slachtoffer. Congo Hold-up, de onderzoeksreeks van De Standaard en zijn partners, toont de ontluisterende wereld van de Belgisch-Libanese zakenman Kassim Tajideen.  Roeland Termote van onze buitenlandredactie schetst het straffe verhaal van Tajideen, die van een straatarm jochie uitgroeide tot het brein achter een witwascarrousel in Congo.

Global problems often need local solutions — but who can find them? In Congo, there has been low take-up for COVID vaccines but health workers and officials are fighting this. It is the poorest who are hit hardest by hyperinflation, but digital currency could help. Workers in Bangladesh hope a new German law can change working conditions. And in the Maldives, tourists are put off by mosquitoes.

In Congo — a country often mired in conflict — people are now devoting time to protecting nature. That's good news for the endangered gorillas living in Kahuzi-Biega National Park.

L'uccisione del nostro diplomatico Luca Attanasio, del carabiniere Vittorio Iacovacci e dell'autista del convoglio dell'ambasciata italiana, accendono i riflettori sul Congo, una terra inquieta, mai pacificata: un luogo dove imperversano commando terroristici e veri e propri eserciti ribelli che si combattono da molti anni, provocando una instabilità in tutto il continente africano.Il 12 ottobre 2020, l'ambasciatore Attanasio, durante la cerimonia del Premio Nassiriya a lui conferito, espresse pochi concetti che oggi, dopo la sua uccisione, giungono come sinistri presagi: "In Congo parole come pace, salute, istruzione, sono un privilegio per pochissimi, e oggi la Repubblica Democratica del Congo è assetata di pace, dopo tre guerre durate un ventennio".Aveva ragione Attanasio che conosceva l'Africa e le sue contraddizioni. Solo il 7 gennaio 2021, poche settimane fa, I miliziani delle Forces démocratiques alliées (ADF) avevano massacrato decine di civili nei villaggi di Tingwe, Mwenda e Nzenga, vicino al territorio di Beni, nella provincia del Nord Kivu. Le milizie dell'AFD, attive fin dagli anni '90, sono solo uno dei numerosi gruppi armati della regione. Avevano attaccato i convogli della missione Onu della Monusco e in uno dei peggiori scontri, nel dicembre 2017,avevano perso la vita 15 caschi blu della Tanzania e altri 44 erano rimasti feriti. Più volte il segretario generale dell'Onu António Guterres aveva invitato a prendere provvedimenti concreti per affrontare le cause del conflitto nell'est del Paese, sottolineando la sua determinazione a garantire la protezione dei civili in conformitàcon il suo mandato e per sostenere gli sforzi nazionali per consolidare la pace e la stabilità. nel Paese. Nulla è avvenuto e l'uccisione del nostro ambasciatore dimostra l'estrema instabilità del Congo, il Paese più grande ma tra i più poveri dell'Africa, ricco però di minerali, terre rare, petrolio e risorse naturali. Una terra doveprosegue una guerra che dura da decenni, alla quale partecipano attivamente le potenze africane e bande armate tribali e confessionali.

In Congo heeft de internationale gemeenschap een nieuwe reden voor landjepik. Als het regenwoud er een beschermd natuurgebied wordt, kan dat helpen klimaatverandering tegen te gaan en biodiversiteit te behouden. Maar er wonen miljoenen mensen, die niet zomaar kunnen verhuizen.

Ma non si accorgono che la ricchezza aumenta, sì, ma va nelle mani di una quarantina di manigoldi, i presidenti, con cui facciamo affari.Si scopre che migliaia di persone muoiono ogni anno di colera, dengue, listeriosi, febbre di lassa. Che in Madagascar c' è stata una micidiale epidemia di peste, quella vera, davvero manzoniana. E c' è ebola: ricordate ebola nel 2014, la fiammata brutale di febbre che in Africa occidentale causò la morte ventimila persone? In Congo l' epidemia non è mai finita, sonnecchia, guizza, uccide. Dalla Nigeria al Sudan, dallo Zambia al Centrafrica, il timore di infettarsi, di morire, non è che un immenso fatale disturbo. La paura è una faccenda tra noi e noi; gli altri, quelli del terzo mondo, non compaiono nella fotografia.

Het ging de afgelopen weken veel over een mazelen-epidemie op het pacifische eiland Samoa. Maar ook in Afrika, met name in Congo, is de gevaarlijkste ziekte van dit moment niet ebola, zoals velen misschien denken, maar de mazelen. In Congo zijn dit jaar al 5 duizend mensen overleden aan de ziekte, en volgens de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie WHO is de epidemie daar het ergst. En vooral kinderen zijn het slachtoffer geworden.

Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Mexico’s president, is wildly popular, in part because of his determination to wipe out corruption. But is his crusade against graft everything it’s cracked up to be? We also look at the debate around randomised control trials, a popular but controversial tool in economics. In Congo, caterpillars are considered a delicacy. We explain why they deserve to be the next superfood.

YOUR MONEY HAS A CHAIN OF CUSTODY! DO YOU KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM? Does it matter to you as a leader? In Congo and other similar places around the world, exports are highly scrutinized. In some cases it is illegal to export certain things like illicit drugs or banned substances. In other cases there is nothing illegal or illicit about the commodity, like diamonds, cobalt, avocados or cocoa but the process of harvesting them. As leaders we must understand the difference because we can unwittingly be supporters of very bad, criminal behavior. Violent or even murderous acts have been carried out to harvest and export certain commodities. There are international laws and process rules in place to curtail this behavior but it continues none the less. How about in your organization? Are there processes and systems in your team which are not as clean, pure and above board as they could be? Are there “grey areas” where the ambiguity of the rules play to the favor of the most successful seller or the most popular employee? Are there different rules for different ranking employees? Do these systems of ambiguity allow for mild forms of abuse of the system and potentially of others? It's one thing to guard your brand by protecting the quality standards of the product or service you offer the public (your commodity) its another level of leadership to guard the integrity of the system and the process. They “chain of custody” is equally important.

In this month’s programme, we discover how technology is turning mapping into a powerful tool for supporting development and tackling humanitarian crises. First, at the launch of the Missing Maps Project in London, United Kingdom, we join volunteers as they help to map two vulnerable areas in the Central African Republic and South Sudan, using satellite imagery to create basic maps to which local volunteers will add place names. Then we speak to Anna Mason from MapAction, a charity that provides mapping services after disasters, to learn more about the satellite technology underlying open mapping work. In Congo, we discover how mobile phones help researchers fight poaching. An icon-based phone application enables people — who may be unable to read and write — living in the forest to record and map areas at risk. Finally, we discover how a data repository is helping journalists and policymakers understand the complex water system of the Tibetan plateau, also known as ‘the Third Pole’, which provides water that more than a billion people rely on for drinking or to irrigate crops. http://www.scidev.net/global/technology/multimedia/podcast-open-mapping-development.html
