Minéraux critiques: le continent africain cherche à tirer son épingle du jeu

L'Agence internationale de l'énergie pointe dans son rapport annuel, publié en fin de semaine dernière, les tensions sur la disponibilité des minéraux critiques et une hausse importante des prix de certains d'entre eux. Le continent africain est évidemment un acteur central dans cette compétition mondiale et tente de tirer son épingle du jeu par différents moyens. Il y a d'abord le levier de l'offre et les répercussions sur les prix. L'année 2025 a été marquée par une hausse des cours d'un grand nombre de ces métaux critiques. « Les prix des métaux de base tels que l'aluminium, le cuivre et l'étain ont augmenté d'un tiers entre janvier 2025 et avril 2026, avec des cours du cuivre qui ont atteint des sommets. Les prix des matériaux destinés aux batteries se sont également redressés après une baisse en 2023 et 2024 », détaille Tim Gould, l'économiste en chef de l'Agence internationale de l'énergie. Le conflit au Moyen-Orient est en cause, mais pas seulement : « Les prix du lithium ont plus que doublé, tandis que ceux du cobalt ont augmenté d'environ 130%, en grande partie en raison des restrictions à l'exportation imposées par la République démocratique du Congo. » Après avoir suspendu les exportations de cobalt, la RDC a remplacé l'interdiction par un système de quotas. Kinshasa n'est pas le seul producteur africain à jouer sur ce levier. Tim Gould lors d'une présentation du rapport : « Ce que vous voyez actuellement à l'écran, c'est une forte augmentation du nombre de restrictions commerciales. Désormais, il ne s'agit plus seulement de la Chine. D'autres pays ont également mis en place de nouvelles restrictions, notamment le quota d'exportation de cobalt imposé par la RDC, que j'ai déjà mentionné, ainsi que les restrictions commerciales imposées par le Zimbabwe sur le lithium, par le Mozambique sur le graphite. » Madagascar mise sur son graphite Si l'AIE note une baisse des dépenses dans l'exploration minière, certains pays profitent néanmoins de l'engouement pour certains minerais. Au début de l'année, Madagascar a levé son moratoire sur les permis miniers, rouvrant la porte aux investisseurs. Une aubaine, notamment dans le domaine du graphite dominé actuellement par la Chine. « Les pays occidentaux, on va dire, que ce soit des Européens ou des Canadiens, ou des Américains ou des Australiens, sont à la recherche de ressources en graphite. Et il se trouve qu'il y en a à Madagascar. Ce qui permettrait in fine d'acquérir une certaine indépendance vis-à-vis de la Chine », remet en contexte Jean-Jacques Young, consultant minier et fin connaisseur de l'île. Et Madagascar, qui dispose de l'une des trois plus grosses réserves mondiales de graphite, a sa partition à jouer. « Madagascar a une position très privilégiée dans le secteur du graphite, parce que les réserves sont importantes. Elles sont réparties sur plusieurs territoires dans le pays. Donc oui, effectivement, il y a un certain nombre d'investisseurs qui développent aujourd'hui des projets de mine de graphite. C'est tout à fait exact », confirme l'expert.  Les États du continent restent cependant largement tributaires d'investissements extérieurs, du manque d'infrastructure énergétiques. Dans un moyen terme beaucoup misent sur la transformation locale pour améliorer encore plus le profit tiré de leur sous-sol.

Vague de disparitions à Madagascar: «Certaines institutions ont cessé de fonctionner dans l'intérêt général»

Que se passe-t-il à Madagascar ? Depuis plusieurs semaines le pays connaît une flambée de violences et de faits criminels qui traumatisent les populations et inquiètent les autorités. Des disparitions et des assassinats - en particulier d'enfants - sont régulièrement rapportés sur les réseaux sociaux : 90 signalements pour disparitions ces dernières semaines à Antananarivo. Sur ce total, 43 personnes ont été retrouvées. Les autorités malgaches ont depuis pris un certain nombre de mesures pour combattre le phénomène. Le 7 juillet dernier, la présidence a annoncé le déploiement immédiat de la garde présidentielle et de 400 éléments des forces de défense et de sécurité. Ces mesures sont-elles à la hauteur du climat de psychose ambiant à Madagascar et notamment à Antananarivo, la capitale ? Ketakandriana Rafitoson, la numéro deux de Transparency International Initiative Madagascar, est au micro de Polycarpe Essomba. RFI : Récemment, Madagascar a fait face à une vague inédite de disparitions, d'homicides violents, notamment d'enfants. Que se passe-t-il exactement dans le pays ? Ketakandriana Rafitoson : Nous assistons à une montée très préoccupante de l'insécurité. On vit dans une sorte de psychose, surtout à Antananarivo, la capitale. Mais je pense qu'il serait réducteur, en même temps, de considérer ces événements uniquement comme une succession de faits divers. Ils révèlent, selon moi, une crise de conscience profonde entre les citoyens et les institutions chargées de leur protection. Lorsque les citoyens ont le sentiment que les enquêtes n'aboutissent pas suffisamment vite, que des auteurs ne sont pas identifiés, ou que certaines formes de criminalité deviennent plus audacieuses, cela nourrit un climat de peur qui dépasse largement chaque affaire prise isolément, et c'est le cas ici à Antananarivo. Mais qui sont les auteurs de ces actes de violence ? Est-ce qu'on a pu identifier les origines de ce phénomène ? Ce serait irresponsable de désigner des coupables sans preuve, c'est précisément le rôle des enquêteurs de la justice. Et malgré certaines arrestations sporadiques ici et là, l'opinion publique n'est pas convaincue que les auteurs ou les commanditaires réels de ces événements aient été appréhendés. En revanche, ce que l'on peut dire, c'est que lorsqu'une criminalité devient organisée ainsi, cela suppose souvent l'existence de réseaux de complicité, de capacités logistiques, qu'il appartient justement, aux autorités, d'identifier. Vous parlez de réseaux dans la rue. À Antananarivo, on parle souvent de complicité à haut niveau lors des kidnappings ou des trafics de ressources, comme les élus dans le sud du pays. Est-ce qu'on peut envisager que le manque de transparence institutionnelle empêche de démanteler ces réseaux-là ? La transparence est une condition essentielle de l'efficacité de l'État. Cela va sans dire. Quand les institutions fonctionnent de manière opaque, lorsque les responsabilités sont mal établies et lorsque les mécanismes de contrôle sont affaiblis, il devient plus difficile de lutter efficacement contre les réseaux criminels ou les réseaux de corruption. D'ailleurs, et cela est en lien avec la capture de l'État, certaines institutions cessent progressivement de fonctionner exclusivement dans l'intérêt général et peuvent être influencées par des intérêts privés ou particuliers. « Nous sommes en guerre », a indiqué la semaine précédente le Premier ministre sur un ton qui se voulait très offensif. Il a par ailleurs annoncé qu'aucune tolérance ne sera accordée aux auteurs de ces crimes. Une telle sortie vous semble-t-elle justifiée au regard de la situation ? Je comprends parfaitement que les autorités souhaitent envoyer un message de fermeté, devant la gravité de cette situation, puisque les citoyens attendent de l'État qu'il réagisse avec détermination face à des crimes aussi graves. Les mots du Premier ministre ont été justes. Les mots aussi ont un poids. L'important n'est pas seulement de parler de guerre, mais surtout de gagner durablement la bataille contre l'insécurité. Transparency International Madagascar a récemment alerté sur le concept de capture de l'État. Vous l'avez évoqué dans l'entretien, pouvez-vous nous expliquer comment la confiscation des institutions privées ou publiques aggrave l'insécurité des citoyens au quotidien ? La capture de l'État, c'est simplement le fait qu'une petite portion de l'élite, ou bien un groupe d'intérêt, utilise les institutions, mais aussi les finances publiques et l'administration en général, à des fins privées, au lieu de les utiliser à des fins d'intérêt général. L'utilisation des deniers publics, des moyens de l'État, sont tous faits à des fins de prédation, si vous voulez.  Qu'attendez-vous des autorités de la transition aujourd'hui ? À court terme, il faut évidemment mobiliser tous les moyens nécessaires aujourd'hui pour retrouver les auteurs des crimes qui ont été perpétrés et protéger la population, accompagner les familles des victimes et communiquer de manière transparente aussi. Mais il faut également profiter de cette période de refondation pour reconstruire des institutions plus fortes, plus transparentes, plus indépendantes et davantage tournées vers le bien commun. Sur le plus long terme, redonner un sens moral à l'État, rééquilibrer le pouvoir, refonder la démocratie par la base. Et puis il faut investir dans le capital humain, construire une culture de responsabilité à l'échelle nationale. C'est peut-être sur une bonne voie, je dirais sur les déclarations de principe, mais on s'attend à davantage d'actions de la part des pouvoirs publics.

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. Oh, hi! This is a brand new episode, earlier than I expected! I noticed recently that one of the Patreon episodes I'd scheduled for September is one that I'd already run in the main feed a few years ago. I decided to just make a new episode for this week and move the episode that would have run this week to that September slot, because I have an announcement! For our five-year anniversary I published the book Beyond Bigfoot & Nessie: Lesser-Known Mystery Animals from Around the World, with a lot of the entries taken from episodes but also some new topics added. I always intended to do a follow-up for our ten-year anniversary, and have even done a lot of work on it. It's called Small Mysteries, focusing on smaller mystery animals that don't get a lot of attention. It's about half the length of Beyond Bigfoot, all or almost all chapters taken from the podcast. But at this point, I don't think I have time to finish it. I'm staying very busy and happy, with a part-time job taking care of people's pets while they're on vacation, and I'm also writing fiction again. But since that book is half-done, and a lot of people might want a copy even if I don't add much more to it, I'm going to make it available as an ebook only. Do you remember last time I made a crowdfunding campaign, and the people who backed the campaign got a copy of the book as soon as it was published? I'm doing that again, but NOT for Small Mysteries. It's for a different book, called The Moonhound, a cozy fantasy set in an alternate reality Smoky Mountains. The main character is a rabbit who moves to the mountains and meets a possum, and they have adventures. Even if this doesn't interest you, there's a $1 backer tier and if you click that, you have the option to add the Small Mysteries ebook for $2. That means the book is $3. Does that make sense? I feel like it's confusing. The campaign starts on July 15, 2026 and runs through August 15, 2026. If you're listening to the episode before July 15, 2026, you can click through the link in the show notes and follow the campaign, so that you get an email when it goes live. If it's between July 15 and August 15, 2026, click the link in the show notes and there's the campaign! If it's after August 15, 2026, see if there's a link in the show notes that will take you to a place where you can buy the ebook. Okay, that took way too long, so let's get to this week's episode! We have some suggestions that have come in recently, so we'll cover a few of those animals, and we'll finish up with a small fossil mystery in honor of the book. Thanks to Eesa, Grace, and Viki for their suggestions! A quick shout-out to Remy and Julien, and Dylan, Emily, and Michelle for their suggestions too. I'll get to those in the 500th episode that will run at the end of August. We'll start with Viki's suggestion, the hognose snake. The name hognose is used for various species of snake, most of them in North and South America, but some in Madagascar. It's a common snake in many parts of North America, so since we talked about the eastern hognose back in episode 81, let's talk about the southern hognose in this episode. It's found along the coastal plain of the southeastern United States, including parts of North and South Carolina, Georgia, and northern Florida, and because it has a restricted range where people like to live too, it's vulnerable to habitat loss. It used to live in other states too but its range has shrunk considerably since it was first described in 1766. The southern hognose grows about two feet long, or 61 cm, and like other hognose snakes, its nose turns up like a little pig's snout. The shape of its nose actually may help it dig into leaf litter and dirt to hide. Some individuals are brown or gray, some are red or yellowish. It has darker blotches on its upper side and adults have white bellies. It has a big head that makes some people believe it's venomous, but it's actually harmless to humans and most animals. The only animals that really need to worry about the hognose are amphibians, like toads, frogs, and salamanders, although it will also eat lizards, small mammals like mice, and even large insects. It especially likes to eat toads, and while some toads are toxic, the hognose snake is resistant to toad toxins. A toad will frequently puff itself up to make it appear larger and make it hard for a snake to swallow, but the hognose has a solution for that too. It has big teeth at the rear of its upper jaws, like fangs in the back of its mouth. It uses those teeth to puncture puffed-up toads so they deflate, just like a horrible balloon. But the most memorable thing about the hognose is what it does when it feels threatened. Phase one is aggression. The snake will flatten its neck to look more threatening, raise its head like a cobra, and hiss and strike—but without biting. It's just trying to scare you away. If that doesn't work, the snake puts phase two into effect. It will flop down and roll onto its back like it's dead, its tongue hanging out of its mouth. It even emits a foul musky smell from its cloaca. If you call its bluff and roll drama queen snake onto its belly, it will turn onto its back again, because it's really insistent that it's dead. Since we've already scared away a lot of people who don't like snakes, let's learn about a spider next. Grace suggested we talk about the wolf spider, and also wonders if wolf spiders live in northern California. Wolf spiders are common throughout the world, and while they look scary, they bite people very rarely and their venom is weak, no worse than a bee sting. The wolf spider with the biggest legspan is Hogna ingens, with a legspan less than 5 inches across, or 12 cm. It lives on one island in the Maderia archipelago, and is a beautiful soft gray with white stripes on the legs. The Carolina wolf spider is the most common one found in North America. A big female can have a legspan of four inches, or 10 cm, but its body is not much more than an inch long, or 35 mm, and the spider actually weighs less than an ounce. That's barely 28 grams, or just a little heavier than five sheets of printer paper. The wolf spider is a hunting spider, mostly solitary, and most species don't spin webs. When a female lays her eggs, she attaches the egg case to the underside of her abdomen so she can take them with her while she hunts insects. When the eggs hatch, the teensy babies ride around on the top of her abdomen for a few weeks until they're big enough to not need their mother's protection. Some species of wolf spider will dig a burrow to rest in, and will jump out and grab any insect that happens by, while other species of wolf spider rest in rock crevices and other small spaces. Males are smaller than females and often have flashier patterns. The Carolina wolf spider is mainly gray or brown with darker and lighter longitudinal stripes down the head and body. Most species of wolf spider won't come into your house, but if you do have a wolf spider in your house, you should actually consider yourself lucky. They love to eat cockroaches and ants, which are house pests. The wolf spider hunts mostly by sight and has good vision, and its eyes will even demonstrate eyeshine of various colors, depending on species, if you shine a flashlight around in the dark. Maybe don't do that if you're afraid of spiders. And yes, there are wolf spiders in northern California, because there are wolf spiders in just about every part of the world except for Antarctica! Northern California actually has at least six species of wolf spider. One species does actually build a web, and there's even a species that lives on the beach. That's the beach wolf spider, which is a pale sandy color with darker and lighter stripes to help it blend in with sand and pebbles. It's quite small but it moves really fast, and it's mostly nocturnal. It lives not just in northern California but throughout beaches in North and Central America. Next, Eesa sent a list of suggested animals, including oviraptor. I could have sworn we already covered oviraptor, but we haven't! It's a really interesting dinosaur, so let's take a look now. Oviraptor is a name that means “egg thief,” and it got this name because it was found near fossilized eggs. It lived in what is now Asia about 75 million years ago, and the first specimen was found in Mongolia (still my favorite country) back in 1923. The partial specimen was found lying across a nest of dinosaur eggs. When the dinosaur was described in 1924, it was given the name egg thief because the paleontologist Henry Fairfield Osborn assumed it died while robbing a nest to eat the eggs. But even Osborn wrote that he might be wrong about the dinosaur, and in the 1990s new discoveries of oviraptor nesting sites proved this was the case. Oviraptor wasn't stealing eggs, it was protecting them, because they were its own eggs. It probably actually ate fruit, seeds, and other plant material, along with small animals like lizards. Oviraptor was a small dinosaur that was a little more than six feet long, or about 2 meters, and was the height of a medium to large dog. It walked on its hind legs. It had feathers on its arms and tail, and probably also had feathers over much of its body. It didn't have teeth but it did have a beak that would have probablylooked a lot like a parrot's beak. Its arms had three small claws but probably looked a lot like a wing in many ways, although scientists don't think oviraptor could fly. In other words, oviraptor probably looked a lot like a big, weird chicken, and like a chicken and many other birds, scientists think it sat on its eggs to keep them warm. When a bird incubates its eggs, it's not like you dropping down to sit on a chair. The bird's feet are typically on either side of the eggs, and the bird squats down carefully so that its underside makes gentle contact with the eggs without crushing them. Female chickens and many other birds have a spot on the lower breast that doesn't have any feathers, called a brood patch, which contains extra blood vessels just under the skin. This helps keep the eggs warm and is a soft part of the hen's body, which helps cushion the eggs. We don't know, but it's possible oviraptor had something similar to a brood patch, and its feathered arms and tail also helped protect the eggs from cold air and rain. We now have numerous specimens that died while sitting on nests, probably buried in sandstorms, so we know that oviraptor basically brooded its nest the way modern birds do. Finally, let's finish with our small mystery fossil. It's called Esconichthys apopyris and it lived about 308 million years ago in what is now the state of Illinois in North America. 308 million years ago, Illinois was a tropical area and partly covered by a warm, shallow sea. In a particular place known as the Mazon Creek formation, for a few million years conditions were just right to preserve dead animals and plants in astounding detail. A river carried dead plant materials and mud into an estuary along the ocean's edge, where it sank and settled to the bottom of the sea floor. When an animal died, if it wasn't eaten by something else, its body sank into this soft muddy mess. The bacteria in the mud produced carbon dioxide that combined with iron also present in the mud, which formed a mineral called siderite. This mineral encased the dead animal and slowed decay long enough for a detailed impression of the body to form in the mud. As the centuries passed and the mud became stone, the fossilized body impression was surrounded by a protective ironstone nodule. That's why we know about the soft-bodied animals from the area, even though soft-bodied animals rarely leave fossil evidence. Mazon Creek is where the Tully monster lived, which we talked about in episode 339, but the Tully monster isn't the only mystery animal discovered there. Another one was Esconichthys. We have lots of Esconichthys fossils, partly because it seems to have been extremely common, but also because it was a vertebrate. That means it had a notochord, a type of backbone. Most of the fossils we have are body impressions, so we do know a lot about what Esconichthys looked like when it was alive. What we don't know is what it actually was. Esconichthys was named for the Earth Science Club of Northern Illinois, ESCONI, and the latter half of its name means fish. But it doesn't actually seem to have been a fish, even a larval fish. It grew up to about 3 inches long, or 8 cm, and had a pair of very obvious eyes, two pairs of feathery external gills, and a single fin on the underside of its tail. It didn't have legs or any other fins. Some individuals had wide-set eyes, others had eyes that are close together, which may indicate two separate species, but we don't know. Esconichthys fossils are sometimes referred to as ghosts, because the limbless body with two dots for eyes does kind of look like a cartoon ghost. Other people call Esconichthys fossils grasshoppers or blades. This is because the animal's gills were quite long and are often preserved pointing away from the rest of the body, or sometimes the rear of the body is folded upward. This can make it look roughly like a grasshopper or a pocket knife with one blade unfolded. Esconichthys has been proposed as a larval lungfish or a larval amphibian, but it doesn't really match either animal group. It's the most common fossil found at the Mazon Creek formation by far, preserved in amazing detail, but scientists still have no idea what it is or what it might be related to.

Mozambique: le nouveau Code minier impose une participation de l'État

Promulgué début juin, le nouveau Code minier impose notamment une participation de 15 % de l'État dans tous les projets miniers et inquiète les professionnels du secteur. De notre correspondante régionale, La Chambre des mines du Mozambique redoute que cette nouvelle loi « nuise à l'attractivité du pays », explique Geert Kolk, son vice-président. Le nouveau Code minier interdit également l'exportation de minéraux bruts ou semi-transformés, sauf autorisation ministérielle exceptionnelle conditionnée à des projets de transformation locale. Mais encore faudrait-il que le gouvernement garantisse « un accès fiable à l'eau, à l'électricité, et aux infrastructures logistiques », ajoute Geert Kolk. Minerais critiques Ce Code minier s'applique à toutes les ressources du sous-sol mozambicain, déjà connu pour ses réserves de gaz naturel, de charbon ou encore de pierres précieuses. Mais ce que la présidence mozambicaine vise avant tout, ce sont les ressources en minéraux essentiels à la transition énergétique. D'après l'Institut géologique américain, le Mozambique est aujourd'hui le troisième producteur mondial de graphite derrière la Chine et Madagascar avec une production de 75 000 tonnes en 2024. Le graphite est un matériau essentiel à la production de batteries électriques notamment. Le Mozambique dispose également d'un sérieux potentiel en terres rares. Selon une étude exploratoire du Britannique Altona Rare Earths, le projet de Monte Muambe dans la province de Tete, dans l'ouest du pays, peut fournir 15 000 tonnes de carbonate de terres rares mixte par an, pendant 18 années. Le Mozambique entend donc capitaliser sur ces richesses, alors que la Chine et les États-Unis sont lancés dans une course à l'approvisionnement en ces matériaux essentiels. L'agence américaine de financement du développement a notamment accordé en 2024 un prêt de 140 millions de dollars à l'australien Syrah Resources pour l'exploitation de la mine de graphite de Balama, dans le Cabo Delgado, dans le nord du Mozambique. L'entreprise chinoise DH Mining a quant à elle inauguré en janvier une usine de transformation de graphite, à Nipepe, dans la province de Niassa, dans le nord-ouest du pays. Un investissement de 200 millions de dollars, qui doit produire 200 000 tonnes par an. Une tendance africaine Limiter les exportations de matières premières brutes « est une tendance à l'échelle de l'Afrique, visant à accroître la valeur ajoutée à l'intérieur du pays, et c'est légitime », a concédé le vice-président de la Chambre des mines du Mozambique. Le Zimbabwe a récemment interdit l'exportation de son lithium. En marge du G7, le président du Kenya, William Ruto, a annoncé être proche d'un accord avec les États-Unis sur les minerais critiques à condition qu'ils soient transformés sur place.

Dix terroristes présumés ont été arrêtés lundi 6 juillet au Maroc lors d'une opération d'envergure menée dans tout le pays. Les autorités les soupçonnent d'appartenir à une cellule liée à l'État islamique au Sahel et d'avoir tenté de préparer un projet d'attentat. Des armes, des documents de propagande et du matériel pouvant servir à fabriquer des explosifs ont été saisis lors des perquisitions. Pour en parler, l'auteur du livre Maroc, le défi de la puissance, Abdelmalek Alaoui, qui préside également l'Institut marocain d'intelligence stratégique basé à Rabat, est le grand invité Afrique de RFI, ce mercredi 8 juillet. Il répond aux questions de Guillaume Thibault.  RFI : Des interventions dans sept villes du pays, dix arrestations, un laboratoire pour concevoir des bombes découvert : cette cellule, indique les autorités, ne formait pas des terroristes pour partir à l'étranger mais pour frapper le territoire marocain. Abdelmalek Alaoui : La chose qui est certaine, c'est qu'il y a une inversion du centre de gravité tel qu'on le connaissait jusqu'à présent. Jusqu'à présent, il y avait une exportation de jihadistes vers la région du Sahel. Et là nous sommes dans une situation qui est assez inédite et qui marque une transformation de l'État islamique au Sahel, en donnant les instructions à ces unités combattantes de rester dans les pays qui étaient des pays de missions, avec un niveau de sophistication de plus en plus élevé. C'est très vraisemblablement une cellule qui était prête à passer à l'action. Tout le monde a en mémoire les attentats d'ampleur, notamment celui de Marrakech en 2011. L'État islamique cherche-t-il à frapper le royaume marocain car il y a aussi une réelle confrontation idéologique ? Il y a une confrontation qui est une confrontation fondamentale, puisqu'au Maroc, le Roi, qui est commandeur des croyants, promeut un Islam du milieu, de rite malékite. Et donc, depuis les attentats de 2003, le Maroc a toujours joué sur un aspect tridimensionnel : le renseignement, la théologie, mais également le social. Car, évidemment, la pauvreté est souvent le terreau de la radicalisation. Et donc, évidemment, frapper le Maroc, c'est frapper le symbole de l'islam du milieu tel qu'il est porté par le roi Mohammed VI. La Fondation Mohammed VI des oulémas africains forme des centaines d'imams pour tout le continent, ce qui constitue un antidote doctrinal au jihadisme sahélien. Vous évoquiez le niveau de sophistication de la cellule démantelée, composée de trois équipes : la première chargée de valider les cibles, la seconde en charge des achats, la troisième gérait l'assemblage des explosifs, le tout étant coordonné par des cadres de l'État islamique à l'étranger. Peut-on parler d'un fonctionnement militaire ? C'est un fonctionnement typique des organisations terroristes, lorsqu'elles arrivent à maturité et lorsqu'elles ont pu obtenir également du financement. Parce que là, on parle de communications cryptées, on parle de cellules qui sont étanches entre elles. La cellule n'en était plus à un stade d'endoctrinement. C'est une structuration avancée qui montre que le groupe n'en était plus à ce stade-là, mais à celui de la planification tactique. Il y a une sophistication de plus en plus importante de l'État islamique et des différentes cellules avec lesquelles il essaie d'organiser ses projections sur les territoires extérieurs. L'État islamique continue son expansion au Sahel, notamment au Mali, au Burkina Faso et au Niger. Comment les autorités marocaines collaborent avec les juntes militaires qui sont au pouvoir dans ces États ? On en a des marqueurs extérieurs. On le voit, le Maroc se met en position de médiateur, a poursuivi le dialogue avec les différents pays de l'AES lorsque ceux-ci ont voulu rompre la discussion avec Paris. Et donc, le Maroc s'est trouvé en tiers de confiance qui permet de vasculariser une relation tridimensionnelle entre le Maroc, le Sahel et la France, mais aussi d'autres grandes puissances. Le Maroc a cette doctrine basée d'abord sur le fait qu'il faut désenclaver le Sahel. C'est pourquoi il y a une initiative atlantique très importante qui est promue par le Roi Mohammed VI pour permettre au commerce de mieux fonctionner dans ces zones-là. Car, encore une fois, l'insécurité est nourrie par la précarité économique. Le Maroc a également signé des accords de coopération sécuritaire avec Israël, les États-Unis, la France. Cette coopération internationale est-elle également essentielle dans la lutte contre le terrorisme ? Sur la coopération avec les États-Unis, évidemment, elle est très importante. C'est une relation qui est très ancienne. D'ailleurs, l'exercice African Lion se déroule traditionnellement au Maroc chaque année, car il permet de reproduire des théâtres d'opérations dans lesquels il y a à la fois le désert, la montagne et le Maroc offre cette richesse-là. Sur la coopération avec Israël, il n'y a rien de public, d'autant plus que le Maroc est sur une ligne extrêmement ferme sur la solution à deux États [un israélien et l'autre palestinien, NDLR]. Avec la France, enfin, la coopération sécuritaire a bien repris depuis la reprise de la relation et de cette embellie diplomatique qui a eu lieu à l'automne 2024 et la reconnaissance par le président Macron de l'intégrité territoriale du Maroc et donc de la souveraineté marocaine sur le Sahara. Rappelons que le Maroc a toujours joué un rôle très important en matière de renseignement et de coopération avec la France, la localisation du terroriste Abaaoud [Abdelhamid Abaaoud, acteur-clé des attentats de novembre 2015 en France, NDLR] avait été rendue en grande partie possible grâce à un renseignement de la DGST. La DGST marocaine a également formé des officiers au Gabon, en Côte d'Ivoire, en Guinée-Conakry, à Madagascar et en Tanzanie. Vu la pression des groupes terroristes, cette coopération panafricaine doit-elle absolument se renforcer ? Le modèle marocain est basé sur le fait qu'il refuse le tout technologique. L'aspect humain du renseignement reste extrêmement important dans la technicité. Eh oui, effectivement, la coopération y joue un rôle essentiel. Car même si le Maroc a développé des services de renseignements parmi les plus efficaces et les plus respectés au monde, la menace, elle, ne dort jamais. Donc, il est important de pouvoir continuer à discuter avec tous les partenaires et de pouvoir aller au-delà des frontières, lorsque cela est nécessaire.

In this episode, Ray Cochrane digs into “algorithmic outing,” new research showing that social feeds can infer your sexual orientation before you have consciously come out. He also covers Meta’s privacy-aware AI infrastructure, Alberta’s 466-million-line code scan with Claude, NVIDIA on reinforcement learning, and the many journeys of learning Rust. Along the way, he hits Google DeepMind’s A24 deal, WhatsApp usernames, and scuba-diving cyborg cockroaches. Finally, he looks up with Webb’s puzzling early universe, NASA’s emergency telescope rescue, and a gorgeous aurora from orbit. – Want to start a podcast? Its easy to get started!

He hopes listeners had a good holiday weekend, and he shares that he spent his time working his other job at Oregon’s Finest, chatting with people around Portland. Because his Blurbry workweek tends to be solitary, he refills his social meter on the weekends. He then recalls a Saturday night out with coworkers at the Hungry Tiger before turning to the lead story. Algorithmic Outing: When Your Feed Knows Before You Do Cochrane leads with new research from Australia that identifies a phenomenon called “algorithmic outing.” In short, the recommendation systems behind your social feeds can infer your sexual orientation or gender identity and start serving related content before you have worked it out yourself. Importantly, the study is small and qualitative, built on in-depth interviews with twenty LGBTQ+ adults in the Hunter region of New South Wales and published in the journal Gender, Place and Culture. The mechanism is engagement signals: what you like, who you follow, and how long you linger on a post, a metric the industry calls dwell time. Lead researcher Dr. Justin Ellis of the University of Newcastle notes that several participants said the algorithm “knew” they were queer before they did, an experience that felt validating for some but frightening for others in public settings. For Cochrane, the deeper worry is what else that hidden pattern encodes, from upbringing to mental health, and where that data ultimately gets sold.

Meta’s Blueprint for Privacy-Aware AI Infrastructure Next, Cochrane turns to a sharp engineering piece from Meta on privacy-aware infrastructure. The core challenge is that a system must understand what a piece of data actually is before any privacy rule can protect it. A field named “age,” for example, might describe a person in one place and a cache setting in another. Meta’s answer deploys a large language model only on the genuinely ambiguous cases, then distills what it learns into fixed, human-reviewed rules. The payoff is concrete. According to Meta, those deterministic rules already handle about 85 percent of the traffic, and only the last 15 percent falls back to the model, which costs roughly 400 times more compute. Cochrane loves this edge-case approach. However, he contrasts it sharply with the AI-everywhere software he wrestles with at his weekend job, which he says the heavy AI reliance genuinely makes worse and harder to audit. Alberta Scans 466 Million Lines of Code With Claude This one comes from Anthropic, and it ties directly to Meta’s theme. A team inside Alberta’s Ministry of Technology and Innovation used Claude to scan 466 million lines of code in about twenty hours, a review Anthropic estimates would have taken humans roughly six and a half years. Notably, they ran around fifty AI agents in parallel, essentially an automated red team and blue team probing the systems at once. For Cochrane, this is the good version of AI in production: cleaning up and locking down real systems rather than running the show unsupervised. NVIDIA on Reinforcement Learning for AI Agents On the AI-building side, Cochrane walks through an NVIDIA developer piece on reinforcement learning for agents. Reinforcement learning rewards a model for good behavior rather than showing it the right answer, much like training a dog with treats. Additionally, he clears up a common mix-up. NVIDIA treats RAG, retrieval-augmented generation, as a separate tool: reinforcement learning changes how a model behaves, while RAG changes what facts it can reach. GitHub Retires Two Gemini Models Meanwhile, GitHub is retiring Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 3 Flash across all of Copilot on July 31. The migration paths are Gemini 3.1 Pro and Gemini 3.5 Flash. Cochrane flags it as a sign of the times, since tools that felt brand new a couple of years ago are already getting sunset. He also wonders how quickly today’s “AI-optimized” chips will turn over as the models keep changing. The Many Journeys of Learning Rust One for the programmers, and Cochrane makes no secret of loving Rust. The Rust blog’s Vision Doc series explores how people actually learn the language, which is built around memory safety and its strict borrow checker. Honest themes surface throughout, including “clone guilt,” where beginners refuse to copy anything, and “silent attrition,” the learners who quietly bounce off. His take stands: getting your brain onto a memory-safe language rewires how you approach a problem. Google DeepMind Partners With A24 In an interesting collision of worlds, Google DeepMind is teaming up with A24, the studio behind Hereditary and Everything Everywhere All at Once. The two call it a first-of-its-kind research partnership, with DeepMind researchers and A24 building creative tools shaped by the artists who use them. Cochrane adds a detail worth noting: Google also invested in A24, so this is money on the table, not just a research handshake. For now, though, the announcement stays deliberately vague, with no named films or products. Google’s $1 Million Africa Indie Game Fund Another one from Google, and it is good news for developers. Google is launching an indie games fund for sub-Saharan Africa, a region whose gaming scene is growing about as fast as anywhere. The fund puts up $1 million across ten local studios, each receiving between $50,000 and $200,000 plus mentorship and hands-on support. Applications close at noon UTC on July 31. WhatsApp Usernames Are Here to Reserve WhatsApp is finally moving off phone numbers as your identity. With usernames, someone can start a conversation with you without ever seeing your number. Starting this week, you can reserve the name you want ahead of the full launch later this year. To claim yours, head into Settings, then Account, then Username. Intel Sets Its Q2 Earnings Date Cochrane flags a date worth watching for anyone tracking Intel. The company reports second-quarter results on July 23, right after market close, with an earnings call at 2 p.m. Pacific. Given recent US government investment and a shifting chip landscape, he is curious how the domestic chipmaker is holding up. Your Smartwatch Might Spot Illness Before You Do Shifting to health, Engadget reports that the wearables-plus-AI wave is starting to deliver. These devices excel at catching the moment your body drifts off its own baseline, often the first nudge to get checked out. A 2025 study from Texas A&M and Stanford suggests smartwatches can detect early signs of COVID or the flu within hours of infection. Additionally, Apple Watch’s irregular-rhythm alerts have flagged AFib correctly about 84 percent of the time. Working Memory and Consciousness Here is a heady one from Scientific American, written by philosopher Henry Taylor at the University of Birmingham. Working memory is the mental scratchpad holding whatever you are doing right now. Taylor opens with the doorway effect, that blank moment when you enter a room and forget why. Intriguingly, when information leaves working memory, it seems to leave conscious awareness at the same instant, a link drawing fresh attention across psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience. Scuba-Diving Cyborg Cockroaches Now for the wild one. Scientists have built tiny diving suits that let Madagascar hissing cockroaches survive underwater for up to three hours, while an unequipped roach suffocates in minutes. The 3D-printed suit feeds oxygen through tubes into the insect’s breathing holes, called spiracles, using a chemical generator with no electronics. This lab already steered the roaches with electrodes, so the diving suit is the new trick on top. Researchers pitch it for search and rescue, though Cochrane notes the reality of the spy bug has already arrived. Quantum Time Runs Backward at Los Alamos Next, a genuine brain-bender. Physicists at Los Alamos, led by Luis Pedro García-Pintos, found a way to make a quantum system look like it is running backward in time. To be clear, time is not literally reversing. Precise measurements just make the system’s evolution appear to unfold in reverse. The useful part is energy: measurement itself becomes a resource in what they call a continuous measurement engine. Cochrane admits the paper drifted further from his reality the more he read. Tall Trees Shrug Off Drought A new study in Science overturns some textbook wisdom. For years, the assumption held that taller trees suffer more in drought because they must lift water higher. However, researchers studying dipterocarps in Southeast Asia found that trees topping seventy meters slowed their growth by about the same amount as short ones during the 2023-2024 El Niño drought. The trick is plumbing: a seventy-meter tree grows base vessels roughly twice as wide as a ten-meter tree, so the real driver of drought stress is subtler than raw height. The Energy Department Purges Conservation Pages This next one frustrates Cochrane. The US Department of Energy deleted roughly 6,000 web pages about energy conservation, and the timing is brutal during a record heatwave. The move followed backlash over New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani urging residents to ease strain on the grid. Fortunately, the Internet Archive and its Wayback Machine preserved the pages before they vanished. For Cochrane, deleting that kind of public information simply does not make sense. Webb’s Puzzling New Universe Heading to space, Quanta Magazine explores how the James Webb Space Telescope keeps finding early-universe objects that should not exist. Those include black holes that grew enormous too fast and hundreds of mysterious “little red dots” around 650 million years after the Big Bang. As astrophysicist Rachel Somerville of the Flatiron Institute puts it, scientists have “almost gone from having too many early galaxies to having too many theories.” The hard part now is figuring out which theory is right. NASA’s Emergency Telescope Rescue NASA has a rescue mission underway for the Swift Observatory, a 2004 telescope that studies gamma-ray bursts. Recent solar storms puffed up Earth’s atmosphere, and the added drag has dragged Swift’s orbit down to about 224 miles, low enough to risk burning up this year. To intervene, NASA enlisted Katalyst Space Technologies of Flagstaff, Arizona, whose LINK spacecraft launched Friday. The plan is to boost Swift back up to roughly 373 miles. A Gorgeous Aurora From Orbit Finally, Cochrane closes on something beautiful. ESA shared a stunning aurora captured from orbit, a shimmering green band of light rippling over the planet. If you have a few minutes, it is well worth a look. Cochrane wraps with housekeeping and a thank-you to GoDaddy for two decades of support, then signs off, wishing listeners a wonderful evening.

Contributor: Meghan Hurley, MD Educational Pearls: What animal is the most lethal to humans?  Depending on how we define lethal, and animal, this answer is actually not straight forward.  Globally and in the U.S. the most lethal animal is humans, accounting for ~436,000 to ~20,000 deaths (homicides) per year on average respectively.  In the United States the most lethal animal is of the Hymenoptera order (bees, wasps, and hornets). It accounts for approximately ~60 deaths per year from anaphylaxis. Globally the number is harder to track, but is estimated between 250–3,800 deaths globally annually.  Globally the most lethal animal is venomous snakes, accounting for between 60,000-150,000 per year (whereas in the United States this number is closer to ~5).  Mosquitos, as a vector however for the pathogens they transmit, out rank all as the most lethal globally (excluding humans).   What are the key take-aways for each insect discussed in this episode? Mosquitos: In the United States, of lesser concern. Can potentially transmit West Nile Virus in the United States. Otherwise, treatment for general mosquito bites is topical antihistamines and over the counter steroid creams.  Hymenoptera order (bees, wasps, and hornets): Distributed throughout the US, and can also live in the ground.  Bees lose their stinger during a sting. Whereas wasps do not and can sting multiple times.  Typically stings are just localized for symptoms (pain and swelling) but can become anaphylactic.  Treat with IM Epinephrine as the first line. Consider bronchodilators from bronchospasms.  Multiple stings (around ~100), can cause end organ damage and rhabdomyolysis outside of just anaphylaxis alone. Require more aggressive management.  Fire Ants: Behave similar to bees (in swarm mentality), but have differing venoms. Can also cause global symptoms. Black Widow:  No deaths from Latrodectus hesperus (Western Black Widow) recorded in the United States. There are 3 deaths globally from widow species. Two from Madagascar, and one from a Mediterranean species of widow. Debate in the toxicology community about use of the antivenom, which may account for more deaths than the bite itself.  Black Widow bites are typically painful. Which is different from bites from recluse species.   Brown Recluse:  Rare in Colorado Typically painless bite, that creates a center necrotic eschar.  Tend to also not be lethal.  Bed Bugs Typically harmless and more of a nuisance to have. Can cause localized infections.  Bite presents in a "Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner" formation (i.e. linear 2-3 or more bites as the bug tracks and feeds on skin).  Will feed primarily on exposed skin. The biggest concern is ensuring no cross contamination from patient to provider or facility.  Bed bug bite delivers a small amount of local anesthetic, which can make them hard to detect.

What My Mom's Death Taught Me About Living

What if grief isn't something we're meant to "get over"—but something we're meant to carry with love? In one of his most personal episodes ever, Darin opens his heart following the passing of his mother, Sandra Lee Olien. Rather than offering easy answers or tidy stages of grief, he shares the raw, complicated reality of loss: the tears, the gratitude, the anger, the laughter, the memories, and the profound realization that death doesn't simply teach us about endings—it teaches us how to live. Drawing from psychology, cultural traditions around the world, personal stories, and the wisdom of those facing the end of life, Darin explores why Western culture struggles with grief, why love is an active practice rather than a feeling, and how embracing mortality can become one of the greatest invitations to authenticity, forgiveness, vulnerability, and purpose. This is not simply an episode about death. It's an episode about living so fully that, when the end eventually comes for all of us, there is as little left unsaid as possible.     What You'll Learn Why Western culture often avoids meaningful conversations about grief The difference between "moving on" and maintaining continuing bonds with loved ones How cultures around the world approach death and remembrance Why grief isn't linear—and why that's completely normal The psychology of disenfranchised grief Darin's deeply personal reflections after losing his mother How unconditional love creates lifelong resilience Why unresolved relationships become our greatest regrets The five most common regrets people share at the end of life Why vulnerability is one of the greatest expressions of love How death can become one of life's greatest teachers Practical ways to live with more honesty, forgiveness, and purpose     Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Alkemis Paint 00:03:24 – A deeply personal announcement: the loss of Darin's mother 00:04:01 – Why this is the first episode about grief 00:05:04 – Grief, celebration, and holding conflicting emotions at once 00:06:00 – Why life continues after loss 00:07:02 – Death teaches us how to love 00:08:11 – Why grief receives so little space in Western culture 00:09:14 – Understanding disenfranchised grief 00:10:24 – Moving on versus maintaining continuing bonds 00:11:25 – Why grief doesn't have a finish line 00:12:01 – Modern society has outsourced death 00:13:17 – Moving inward instead of moving on 00:13:33 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:15:28 – How Mexico celebrates ongoing relationships with ancestors 00:16:16 – Madagascar, Ghana, India, and global grief traditions 00:18:15 – Why rituals help us process loss 00:19:30 – Allowing yourself to truly feel 00:20:27 – Remembering Sandra Lee Olien 00:21:36 – A mother's unconditional love 00:22:41 – How love creates courage and confidence 00:23:32 – Letting go while honoring another person's choices 00:24:26 – Celebrating kindness, resilience, and stubborn strength 00:25:25 – Feeling his mother's presence after her passing 00:26:17 – Love is an active practice 00:27:25 – Why nothing important should remain unsaid 00:28:20 – The five regrets of the dying 00:29:29 – Living your own life instead of someone else's expectations 00:30:10 – Work, vulnerability, friendship, and choosing happiness 00:31:24 – Death as the other side of SuperLife 00:31:54 – The greatest fatal convenience: assuming there's more time 00:32:57 – Responsibility, forgiveness, and radical honesty 00:33:29 – Grief and gratitude can exist together 00:34:22 – Say the thing.

The conversations we avoid, the forgiveness we postpone, the love we leave unspoken, and the dreams we delay all become painfully clear when we're reminded that none of us is promised more time. Grief isn't something to conquer or rush through. It's love continuing to exist after physical presence has ended. And perhaps the greatest tribute we can offer those we've lost is to live with more honesty, more courage, more vulnerability, and more love while we're still here."     Bibliography/Sources: Peer-Reviewed Research & Journals Phan, H.

The episode of the Flavors Unknown podcast explores the tension between the old image of Las Vegas — buffets, the Strip, spectacle, celebrity restaurants, and viral dining — and the newer reality of a city shaped by local chefs, immigrant influences, neighborhood energy, off-Strip creativity, cultural sensitivity, collaboration, and craft. The guests are: Chef Dylan Jobsz from Esther’s Kitchen Chef Sarah Thompson from Casa Playa at Wynn Chef Jackson Stamper from Ada’s Food and Wine Baker Chef Kimmie McIntosh from Milkfish at Durango Social Club Bartender Joseph Arakawa from Anima by EDO The conversation repeatedly points to this shift: Las Vegas has moved beyond the buffet stereotype into a more diverse culinary community, with Chinatown and the Arts District emerging as creative hubs. The chefs share their sources of inspiration, including travel and cultural influences, and discuss the importance of seasonal ingredients. The conversation delves into the authenticity of cooking in everyday settings, the pressure of social media virality, and the importance of consistency in content creation. Ultimately, the discussion highlights the collaborative nature of cooking and the importance of nurturing talent within the culinary industry. What you’ll learn from the Panel Discussion Listeners will walk away seeing that: Las Vegas is not only the Strip; its food culture is increasingly shaped by neighborhoods, local communities, and independent creative voices.The city's culinary strength comes from its mix of cultures, migration stories, chef collaboration, and constant reinvention.Authenticity in food and drinks is not about rigid tradition; it is about respect, understanding, flavor, and the ability to translate heritage for today's guests.Social media matters, but the best culinary work is not built only for virality. The episode emphasizes that authenticity, relatability, and brand integrity matter more than chasing manufactured viral moments.Creativity in restaurants is not just the chef's individual genius; it depends on teams, feedback, R&D, mentorship, trust, and systems.

Welcome back to The Crystal Library.Lemurian Quartz may be one of the most fascinating crystals in the modern metaphysical world—not because of what it is, but because of the story surrounding it.In this episode, we're tracing the surprising journey of Lemurian Quartz all the way back to its origins. Before there were crystal healers, channeled messages, or stories of lost civilizations, there was a British zoologist trying to solve a mystery about lemur fossils. That scientific hypothesis eventually evolved into one of the most enduring myths in modern spirituality: the lost continent of Lemuria.Together we'll explore:✧ The scientific origins of Lemuria in the 1800s✧ How Helena Blavatsky and the Theosophists transformed a geological hypothesis into spiritual mythology✧ The connection between Lemurian mythology and quartz crystals in the 1990s✧ What makes a true Lemurian Seed Crystal different from ordinary quartz✧ The geology behind the crystal's distinctive ladder-like striations✧ Why these crystals are associated with memory, connection, and higher consciousness✧ Practical ways to work with Lemurian Quartz in meditation, dreamwork, and crystal grids✧ Whether a myth has to be historically true to hold spiritual meaningThis episode isn't about proving or disproving Lemuria. It's about examining the stories we tell, the questions we carry, and the ways crystals become vessels for meaning.Because perhaps the real power of Lemurian Quartz isn't found in a lost civilization at all.Perhaps it's found in the question:What did we forget—and how do we remember?Sources Referenced:• Philip Sclater – "The Mammals of Madagascar" (1864)• Helena P.
