In coffee we can often question the impact of our efforts. Over time though, small consistent steps in the right direction can not only carry you over many miles, it can transform you and those for whom you are working. What may seem like plodding work now, is the foundation for what will be built in the future.  Today we are talking with someone whose work has taken several turns over the years. All of which were in the direction of uplifting farmers with whatever means were at hand. Today the massive impact of those consistent actions has led to impact beyond measure.  We are talking with Ben Carlson of Long Miles Coffee. Ben Carlson is a coffee industry leader and social entrepreneur with 23 years of global experience, including 16 years on the ground in East Africa. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, Ben serves as the CEO, Chief Culture Creator, and Sales Director of Long Miles Coffee—an impact-driven organization dedicated to producing world-class specialty coffee while uplifting smallholder farming communities out of generational poverty. Ben's journey in East Africa began in 2010 following a quality survey of Burundi's coffee sector. Driven by a vision to challenge exploitative supply chains, he transitioned from coffee trading to hands-on production, founding Long Miles Coffee in 2013 alongside his wife, Kristy. What started with a single washing station serving 180 families in Bukeye, Burundi, has scaled into a multi-country operation employing over 130 team members and supporting more than 9,500 farming families across Burundi and Uganda. Under Ben's leadership, Long Miles has consistently set benchmarks for quality and sustainability, earning numerous Cup of Excellence awards and achieving Burundi's highest coffee sales per pound. His current work focuses on pioneering climate-resilient agriculture, including building Africa's first carbon-neutral, minimal-water coffee processing facility and developing a regenerative model farm on Mount Elgon in Western Kenya. Recognized as Imbibe Magazine's "Coffee Person of the Year," Ben is a frequent international speaker, event host, and competition judge on impact-driven business models and sustainable agriculture. He also serves as the regional distributor for Ecotact protective packaging in Uganda and Kenya. Ben lives in Kenya with his family, continuing his mission to reshape the future of African specialty coffee. We discuss:  The start of Long Miles Coffee and its initial vision Impact of coffee on local communities in Burundi Challenges and innovations in coffee farming and processing Scaling the impact: From 100 families to thousands The social programs: Coffee Kids Camp and community development Market response and the future of Long Miles Coffee Advice for those who want to make a difference     KEYS TO THE SHOP CONSULTING HELPS YOU MAKE YOU CAFE BETTER!

African forests are vital for food and economic development, as well as for supporting millions of species of animals and plants. We find out how to protect them better with one of Africa's top environmentalists! From the giant Congo rainforest to the Kenyan highlands and the mangroves of Mozambique, Africa's forests are some of the most spectacular places on Earth. And these sensitive ecosystems are not just important for Africa: they play a vital role in the global climate because they store huge amounts of carbon dioxide and pump out oxygen. Kenyan environmentalist Wanjira Mathai has been campaigning to protect and nurture forests for decades. She tells The Climate Question about the challenges they now face across Africa from rapid urbanisation, mining and logging. The solution, according to Wanjira, is to place a proper economic value on the environmental services provided by forests and the communities who live in them – whether that's supplying water and food, or helping to prevent floods sweeping through cities such as Nairobi. Wanjira Mathai is Managing Director, Africa and Global Partnerships at the World Resources Institute. She's been chatting to The Climate Question host Jordan Dunbar and BBC Senior Climate Reporter Esme Stallard. Got a question for The Climate Question?

Yvette Fielding is back with five of your strangest, most spine-chilling stories, and this month they range from the eerie to the downright inexplicable.A woman wakes to her mother screaming her name for help… but the house is dark, everyone's asleep, and her mum never calls her Lisa. Was it a mimic?A soldier whose lifetime of terror traces back to one night at age eight, when a six-foot pink rabbit stood outside his window radiating pure evil.A solid, flesh-and-blood old man staring out of a shuttered hotel window in Southampton, who vanished in the space of a single step.A US embassy attaché in Kenya who paid a witch doctor 25 cents for a fortune… and heard a prediction about a deformed child that only made sense five years later.And an events manager alone in a Wolverhampton venue, built on an old prison, chased up a dark staircase by footsteps that broke into a run.Plus a Fact or Fiction from Nairobi: does the ghost of King George VI walk the deck at Treetops, the lodge where a princess became a queen overnight?Got a story, photo or voice note?

As Europe experiences its first total solar eclipse in almost 30 years this week, Unexpected Elements investigates the surprising science that emerges when sunlight is blocked out. We travel to the forests of Italy, where we investigate whether trees can communicate their eclipse plans to each other. We learn about an ambitious scientific plan to launch a wall of bubbles the size of Brazil into outer space. And we contemplate whether astronauts will ever need to take rice cookers the moon. Also on the show, Annaliese Hodge, a doctoral researcher from the University of Plymouth in the UK joins us to help us learn more about how sunscreen - while good for us humans - can be destructive to marine life. Elsewhere in the programme, we hear about the newly arrived crows bothering the people of Nairobi, Kenya, and discuss another pesky problem: people not wearing headphones on public transport. All that plus more unexpected elements. Presenter: Alex Lathbridge Producers: Dan Welsh, Lucy Davies and Robbie Wojciechowski

Periodista Nairobi Viloria revela estudio sobre vulnerabilidad estructural y riesgo costero en RD. San Pedro de Macorís encabeza con 14,348 edificaciones expuestas. spmnoticias.com SANTO DOMINGO — Un contundente informe presentado por la periodista Nairobi Viloria encendió las alarmas sobre el crítico nivel de desprotección que enfrenta la República Dominicana ante catástrofes naturales. La revelación combina los resultados de una investigación científica sin precedentes con las dramáticas advertencias de expertos del sector construcción. Un estudio pionero sobre riesgo sísmico y de tsunami en zonas costeras —desarrollado por los investigadores Ramón Delanoy y Andrés Moreta, del Centro Nacional de Sismología de la Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (UASD)— determinó las áreas con mayor exposición en el país. Las regiones Norte, Nordeste y Este presentan la mayor amenaza. Los datos detallados por localidad revelan cifras alarmantes de edificaciones en riesgo de tsunami: San Pedro de Macorís: 14,348 edificaciones expuestas. Puerto Plata: 3,284 edificaciones expuestas. Bajos de Haina: 747 edificaciones expuestas. Otras zonas críticas: Nagua, Miches, Bávaro-Punta Cana, una franja de Boca Chica y Nigua. El análisis delimitó zonas con elevaciones de 3, 5 y 10 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Según el director del Centro Nacional de Sismología, es la primera vez que el país cuenta con datos de este tipo a tal nivel de detalle, los cuales buscan orientar planes de evacuación, alertas tempranas y reforzamiento estructural. El reporte periodístico también expone la preocupante falta de preparación ante sísmos de gran magnitud. Expertos señalan que un terremoto superior a los 6.5 o 7.0 grados podría causar pérdidas devastadoras y hasta 200,000 víctimas mortales. A esto se suma una grave denuncia sobre el sector construcción: cerca del 80% de las obras edilicias en el país se realizan al margen de las normas de seguridad estructural e ingeniería sísmica, afectando comunidades como El Caliche, Ensanche La Fe y El Hoyo de Friusa (Verón), aumentando exponencialmente el riesgo ante un eventual desastre.Conviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/radio-ebenezer-rd--3279340/support.ESCUCHAR RADIO

Au Kenya, Field Marshall Muthoni wa Kirima est reconnue comme l'une des figures des Mau Mau. Ce mouvement d'insurrection s'est battu pour l'indépendance du Kenya dans les années 1950. Il a été très violemment réprimé par les colons britanniques. Au moins 10 000 Kényans ont été tués, jusqu'à 90 000 selon certains chiffres. Le mouvement a largement contribué à pousser le Kenya vers l'indépendance, déclarée le 12 décembre 1963. Née en 1930, décédée en septembre 2023, Field Marshal Muthoni wa Kirima est l'une des femmes qui ont combattu dans les rangs des Mau Mau. De notre correspondante à Nairobi,  Muthoni wa Kirima avait à peine plus de 20 ans lorsqu'elle a rejoint le mouvement d'insurrection des Mau Mau. Elle raconte son parcours dans un entretien diffusé sur la chaîne YouTube Mau Mau Chronicles : « J'ai pris part à cette guerre pour une bonne raison : mon père travaillait pour un Européen. Vous savez, les Européens disaient que le Kenya leur appartenait. Nous étions en réalité comme des esclaves au service des Blancs. Nous travaillions dans leurs plantations de pyrèthre. » Les Mau Mau se battent alors pour l'indépendance et pour récupérer les terres qui leur ont été volées. Le mouvement multiplie les attaques, notamment contre les fermes des colons. Les Britanniques déclarent l'état d'urgence en 1952. Une répression d'une extrême violence s'ensuit. Les Mau Mau se réfugient en forêt. Muthoni wa Kirima leur passe des informations. Découverte, elle est battue, et rejoint elle aussi la forêt. Elle n'en sortira qu'à l'indépendance, en 1963. Elle sera la seule femme à avoir reçu le haut grade de Field Marshal au sein des Mau Mau, comme le rappelle Margaret Gachihi, historienne et enseignante à l'université de Nairobi : « Field Marshal Muthoni est restée onze ans dans la forêt. Cette longévité témoigne de son engagement envers la cause Mau Mau. Elle se distinguait, non seulement en tant que femme, mais surtout par la force de son caractère. Si l'on regarde ses activités, elle a pris la tête de raids, sortant de la forêt pour mener des attaques contre les fermes des colons. » Les combattants ont dû survivre en pleine forêt, traqués par les Britanniques. Le rôle des femmes a alors été clé, pourtant longtemps sous-estimé, rappelle l'historienne : « Ce sont elles qui ont permis au mouvement de perdurer aussi longtemps. Elles fournissaient de la nourriture, servaient de messagères et transportaient du matériel pour les Mau Mau. Et certaines d'entre elles, comme Field Marshal Muthoni et d'autres, ont même rejoint la forêt et endossé des rôles de combattantes. » De nombreux survivants Mau Mau ont déploré un manque de reconnaissance après l'indépendance du Kenya, et continuent de demander compensation pour la perte de leurs terres. « Nous avons vraiment souffert pour le pays », rappelait Field Marshal Muthoni wa Kirima auprès de la chaîne YouTube Mau Mau Chronicles. Il a fallu attendre 2003 pour que l'interdiction du mouvement soit officiellement levée. À lire aussiLes actrices des luttes anticoloniales: en Côte d'Ivoire, les marcheuses de Grand-Bassam [1/10]

I've been sitting with a strange kind of grief lately, the kind that comes from something good. Both my kids will be in college soon, and I know how lucky I am to say that. Still, I keep hearing the same thing from everyone around me. “Molly, this is your time!”Some days that's true. I feel free, open, like a whole new chapter is standing right there waiting for me. Other days my heart aches just thinking about the quiet house. No one asking me to make them a sandwich. No shower running in the morning, no dishes thrown in the sink because someone was rushing out the door. That sound, that mess, I miss it before it's even gone.So I needed today's conversation more than I realized when I sat down to record it.My guest is Kathy Eldon, and her opening line to me set the tone for everything that followed. Don't despair, don't give up. There's no way out, but through.Kathy's life has been one long act of reinvention, from a conservative upbringing in Iowa, to a journalist in Nairobi, to a mother who lost her 22-year-old son Dan, a Reuters photojournalist killed while covering the crisis in Somalia. She has since built Creative Visions Foundation, which has incubated more than 400 projects across five continents and touched over 100 million people. She's the author of 17 books, including her memoir In the Heart of Life, which cracked me wide open before we even hit record.In our conversation, Kathy shares:✨ How being cracked open again and again, by apartheid, by divorce, by grief, became the shape of her entire life rather than something to recover from and move past.✨ What she has learned about grief after losing Dan, including why the second year was harder than the first, and the one piece of advice she gives everyone who is grieving.✨ How she turned unimaginable loss into Creative Visions, and what it looks like to give your creative spark to something bigger than yourself.We also talk about her noisy spirits, her visits with psychic mediums, and her simple, powerful closing words: find a path to joy.This conversation is for anyone standing at the edge of a new chapter, whether it's an empty house, a loss, or a version of yourself you're not sure how to leave behind. Kathy's story is proof that the cracks are not the end. They're where the light gets in.

Recorded live at FDE's annual staff retreat, host Justin Forman sits down with Mark Grunden and Addison Williams for a rare, on-the-ground look at what happens when entrepreneurs stop doing this alone. Rather than talk theory, the team shares real footage and real voices — from a London entrepreneur now supporting 260 fellow business owners, to a 57-campus church network in Nairobi, Kenya that has built the Faith Driven Entrepreneur Foundation course into its entire discipleship program. This episode unpacks what actually happens inside a Foundation Group, why entrepreneurship carries a unique kind of loneliness that even a great small group at church can't always reach, and why leading one of these groups requires no certification — just a willingness to open a Zoom call, press play on a video, and ask a few honest questions. Whether you're an entrepreneur longing for people who get it, or a pastor wondering how to serve the business leaders already sitting in your church, this conversation offers a simple, tested, ready-to-go path forward.   Key Topics: ●        Why entrepreneurship doesn't have to be a lonely journey — and real stories that prove it ●        On-the-ground FDE Group stories from the UK, Kenya, and across the U.S. ●        What a Faith Driven Foundation Group actually looks like (video + Scripture + honest conversation) ●        Why churches are uniquely positioned to reach entrepreneurs — no certification required ●        The global numbers: 25,000+ entrepreneurs served, 250 partnering churches, and one Kenyan church network with 700+ graduates ●        The simple next step: how anyone can start a group this week   Notable Quotes: "When you get entrepreneurs in a group, community and depth happens really quick." – Justin Forman "That's really where we start to unravel the fear of the enemy is isolation." – Addison Williams "You gotta be faithful rather than willful. You know, you gotta think of yourself as a steward rather than an owner." – Mark Grunden

In this episode, we sat down with Ryan, the mastermind behind Mujina Mining Firmware, to dig into what Mujina is, why open-source mining firmware matters, and how the project is evolving. We talked through the difference between simply publishing source code and building a true community-driven open-source project, why Mujina uses the GPL license, and how that protects downstream users and contributors in a mining ecosystem that has been dominated by closed, proprietary firmware for years. Ryan also explained the role of the Mujina dev calls, the distinction between firmware, operating systems, kernels, and images, and why the next big step for the project is shipping full, easy-to-flash Mujina OS images for machines like the S19.We also covered a lot of ground on what's happening around the broader 256 Foundation ecosystem: Ryan's mining workshop in Nairobi and how others across Africa are now reusing those materials, the growing momentum behind HydraPool and open-source mining education, recent mining decentralization events in DC and Nashville, and new hardware progress including the Bitaxe Bonanza, Bitaxe Proto, and support for non-Bitmain chips. Overall, this was a wide-ranging conversation about replacing the proprietary mining stack with open, extensible tools that miners, builders, and educators can actually own, adapt, and improve together.

A special edition of People Fixing The World recorded in front of a live audience at the University of Nairobi as part of the BBC's Future of Journalism Festival.Cities around the world are growing fast - they are the most efficient way of supporting large numbers of people. But many of them suffer chronic problems. There is often a shortage of decent housing. Getting around can be impossible with polluting cars creating gridlock on the streets. And the amount of waste we create is piling up on the streets and in landfill. Myra Anubi meets the people who are making city life better for everyone. The architect who is building affordable, sustainable homes. The innovator making transport greener and more efficient. The engineer making something useful from all our plastic waste. And the planner trying to create a more human city.Guests: Constant Cap, Urban Planner, UNEP Christopher Maara, Founder, Kiri EV Etta Madete, Founder Shout Group and Zima Homes Lorna Rutto, Co-Founder, EcopostPresenter: Myra Anubi Producers: Richard Kenny, Claire Bates Editor: Jon Bithrey Live Sound: Martin Njuguna and BBC Nairobi engineering team Sound mix: Hal Haines(Image: Guests at the BBC Future of Journalism Festival, Nairobi)Programme recorded in front of a live audience at the University of Nairobi on Friday 10th July 2026.

This episode picks up right where Part 1 left off, as Jennifer continues her conversation with her friend and longtime travel companion Kirsten Dickerson in her home in London. Kirsten opens up about what came after Raven + Lily - the quiet grief of walking away from something she had built her identity around, and the winding season that followed: a global nonprofit, a string of retreat centers renovated by hand, a painting practice she never expected to fall back in love with, and a handful of countries that eventually led her to a feature-length documentary. It's a conversation about what it looks like to keep saying yes even when the next step isn't clear, and about the people that have been along for the ride the whole way.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina. Jana katika moja ya viunga vya jiji la Nairobi, wadau mbalimbali wakiwemo wafanyakazi wa Umoja wa Mataifa kwa kushirikiana na raia wa Afrika Kusini na Ubalozi wa Afrika Kusini nchini Kenya, ili kuadhimisha Siku ya Kimataifa ya Nelson Mandela walikitembelea Kituo cha Kulelea Watoto ya Yatima kinachofahamika kwa jina Serah's Vision Children's Home na walikaa kituoni hapo kwa dakika 67.Pia tunakuletea muhtasari wa habari.Ikiwa ni miezi tisa tangu kusitishwa kwa mapigano kati ya Jeshi la Israel na wanamgambo wa kipalestina wa Hamas, hali ya usalama kwa raia wa Ukanda wa Gaza eneo la Palestina linalokaliwa kimabavu na Israel inaendelea kuzorota. Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Haki za Binadamu, OHCHR, imesema hii leo kuwa hakuna eneo linaloweza kuchukuliwa kuwa salama kwa Wapalestina, huku Wizara ya Afya ya Palestina ikiripoti kuwa zaidi ya watu 1,100 wameuawa katika mashambulizi ya jeshi la Israel tangu Oktoba mwaka 2025.Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia wakimbizi, UNHCR, limeonya kuhusu hatari ya safari za baharini kuelekea barani Ulaya kupitia bahari ya Atlantiki baada ya watu 144 kuripotiwa kufariki au kutoweka katika pwani ya Mauritania wiki iliyopita. Katika tukio la hivi karibuni watu 387 waliokolewa katika operesheni za uokoaji.Na Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya Duniani WHO linasema licha ya mlipuko wa ugonjwa wa Ebola wa virusi aina ya Bundibugyo nchini Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo DRC kuendelea kuenea kwa kasi, baadhi ya maeneo yanaanza kuonesha dalili za hali kutengamaa kutokana na hatua za haraka za kudhibiti ugonjwa huo.Mwenyeji wako ni Feissal Kirwa, karibu!

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina. Malengo ya Maendeleo Endelevu ya Umoja wa Mataifa (SDGs) yanatambua kuwa kuwawezesha vijana, kulinda mazingira na kuimarisha uhakika wa kupata chakula ni miongoni mwa nguzo muhimu za kujenga jamii zenye ustahimilivu na maendeleo endelevu. Kupitia malengo kama vile la Kutokomeza umaskini, kutokomeza njaa na hatua dhidi ya mabadiliko ya tabianchi , jamii zinahimizwa kuwekeza katika suluhisho zinazowawezesha wananchi kujitegemea huku zikihifadhi mazingira kwa vizazi vya sasa na vijavyo. Hatua hizo zinatekelezwa katika enoe la Kajiado Kaskazini, katika kaunti ya Kajiado, kusini mwa Kenya kama anavyosimulia Kelvin Keitany wa radio washirika, Domus Radio.Hii leo Umoja wa Mataifa umekuwa na matukio mbalimbali ya kuadhimisha siku ya Mandela, Rais wa kwanza mweusi wa taifa la Afrika Kusini kwa mchango wake wa utetezi wa haki. Miongoni mwa kulikofanyika maadhimisho hayo ni Nairobi, Kenya ambako Stella Vuzo wa Kituo cha Habari cha Umoja wa Mataifa alikuwa shuhuda wetu. Licha ya idadi ya magari duniani kuongezeka kwa zaidi ya bilioni moja, Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya Duniani WHO limesema vifo vinavyotokana na ajali za barabarani vimepungua kwa asilimia 21 kati ya mwaka 2011 na 2025. Hata hivyo, ajali hizo bado zilisababisha vifo vya zaidi ya watu milioni 1 mwaka jana na zinaendelea kuwa chanzo kikuu cha vifo kwa watoto na vijana wenye umri wa miaka 5 hadi 29Na, Je, msikilizaji wangu, uliwahi kujiuliza kwa nini binadamu bado wanarudi kuchunguza Mwezi ulioko anga za juu , zaidi ya miaka 50 baada ya kutua huko kwa mara ya kwanza? Leo Julai 20, dunia inaadhimisha Siku ya Kimataifa ya mwezi. Umoja wa Mataifa uliitenga siku hii kuenzi tukio la kihistoria la mwaka 1969, wakati wanaanga wa safari ya Apollo 11 walipoweka nyayo za kwanza za binadamu mwezini. Lakini maadhimisho haya hayaishii kwenye historia tu bali yanasisitiza pia umuhimu wa ushirikiano wa kimataifa katika utafiti wa anga za juu na kuhakikisha uchunguzi wa mwezi unafanyika kwa amani na kwa manufaa ya watu wote duniani.".Mwenyeji wako ni Assumpta Massoi, karibu!

A European trade director who sends his own clients back home. Robert Bach Casanovas has run the Nairobi office of Catalonia Trade & Investment (ACCIÓ) since 2017, and he is blunt: the traditional model of European companies exporting one-size-fits-all solutions to Africa is languishing. What works now is demand-driven partnership, co-manufacturing and localizing solutions for the mass market, not the niche. We discuss why Barcelona's fintech ecosystem realized it must learn from Kenya, how frugal innovation could rescue Europe's aging public health systems, and the three frictions that kill European business in East Africa: the information gap, financing, and lack of presence. Plus the talent bridges being built between Barcelona and Nairobi business schools. If you work in trade, investment or EU cooperation, this one is required listening. Share it with a colleague still selling the old way.

C'est ce lundi 13 juillet que doit s'ouvrir en Ouganda le procès du docteur Kizza Besigye, 70 ans, qui est l'opposant historique au président Museveni. Pour sa défense, ses avocats ne vont pas manquer de rappeler qu'en novembre 2024, Kizza Besigye a été kidnappé au Kenya puis livré à l'Ouganda. Peut-on parler, comme notre invitée de ce matin, d'une « est-africanisation » de la répression ? Florence Brisset-Foucault est maîtresse de conférence en sciences politiques à l'Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne et chercheure à l'Institut des mondes africains. Elle répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Kizza Besigye encourt-il la peine de mort à l'issue de son procès ? Florence Brisset-Foucault : C'est ce qui est prévu dans le code pénal ougandais. En effet, la punition pour les crimes de trahison, c'est la peine de mort. Cependant, la peine de mort n'a pas été appliquée en Ouganda depuis une trentaine d'années, mais c'est ce qu'il risque officiellement. La seule chose rassurante pour lui, est-ce le fait qu'il ne passe pas devant un tribunal militaire ? Son cas avait été d'abord traité par un tribunal militaire, au moment de son arrestation en novembre 2024. Mais la situation a changé à partir de février 2025 et son cas est maintenant traité, de nouveau, devant des tribunaux civils. Il passe ainsi ce 13 juillet devant des juges civils. Exactement.  Il est accusé de sédition et de volonté de soulèvement contre l'État. Ces accusations sont-elles sérieuses ? Ce que l'on constate en Ouganda, c'est qu'il y a depuis des années une instrumentalisation du système judiciaire. Ce que disent ses avocats, c'est que c'est un exemple criant, encore une fois, d'instrumentalisation du système judiciaire, et que ce sont des accusations qui sont montées de toutes pièces. À voir… Mais, en tout cas, ce n'est pas la première fois qu'il est accusé de crimes de ce type devant les tribunaux et les autres procédures qui ont été lancées contre lui n'ont jamais abouti à quoi que ce soit de concret. Où Kizza Besigye trouve-t-il cette énergie, ce courage pour tenir tête à Yoweri Museveni, depuis 25 ans ? Ce qui est en effet très étonnant, intéressant, avec la figure de Kizza Besigye, c'est cette continuité de l'engagement, malgré ces coups de massue, à la fois judiciaires mais aussi coercitifs ; malgré ces attaques sur sa personne à plusieurs reprises lors d'épisodes de manifestations ; malgré cette période où il a été sous résidence surveillée, de manière extrêmement resserrée, dans la banlieue de Kampala. On se souvient notamment d'un épisode très spectaculaire où il avait été attaqué à bout portant par un membre des services secrets qui lui avait envoyé une dose de gaz lacrymogène, à bout portant, directement dans les yeux, ce qui fait qu'il a été hospitalisé pendant un certain temps au Kenya. C'est quelqu'un qui, à chaque fois, revenait. Il bénéficie d'une vraie assise et popularité dans les rues, du fait de cette position un peu sacrificielle qui le caractérise depuis 25 ans. À l'origine de ce procès, il y a l'arrestation de Kizza Besigye au Kenya, puis sa livraison à l'Ouganda, il y a presque deux ans. Pourquoi le président kényan William Ruto, qui a lui-même été longtemps un leader d'opposition, a-t-il trahi les combattants de la démocratie en Ouganda ? Effectivement, cela ne touche pas d'ailleurs que Kizza Besigye. Son épouse, Winnie Byanyima, qui s'exprimait dans la presse il y a quelques mois, avait qualifié Nairobi de « paradis des kidnappeurs ». Une formule extrêmement puissante, puisqu'elle désigne une sorte d'ensemble. Cela touche toute l'Afrique de l'Est, et évidemment aussi la Tanzanie, avec depuis l'année dernière les événements absolument tragiques qui se sont déroulés dans le contexte de la dernière élection présidentielle [plusieurs centaines de Tanzaniens avaient été tués durant la répression de manifestations post-électorales, NDLR]. Cette « est-africanisation » de la répression en Tanzanie rappelle des années très sombres, celle ses années 1970, années de dictature militaire en Ouganda pendant lesquelles des militants et exilés ougandais pouvaient aussi se faire kidnapper au Kenya et être ramenés de force en Ouganda.  Pensez-vous que ce procès à Kampala va être suivi par la communauté internationale et que cela pourra peut-être protéger, un peu, Kizza Besigye ? Je pense qu'il sera suivi. Après, est-ce que la communauté internationale et ses différentes incarnations vont se manifester ? Et, si oui, comment ? C'est une autre question. L'Ouganda est une clé de voûte du système sécuritaire international dans la région de l'Afrique des Grands Lacs et de l'Afrique de l'Est. Évidemment, la communauté internationale et la communauté diplomatique sont extrêmement prudentes dans la manière dont elles s'adressent au régime. Elles suivent sans aucun doute. À voir comment elles se manifestent. On a vu, il y a quelques jours, le chef de la commission des Affaires étrangères du Sénat aux États-Unis remettre en cause le partenariat militaire avec l'Ouganda. Cela a fait couler un petit peu d'encre. On sait que la communauté internationale regarde, mais comment va-t-elle réagir ? Est-ce que les autorités ougandaises vont être perméables à ces pressions internationales ? C'est autre chose. Est-ce que c'est cette intervention de la commission des Affaires étrangères du Sénat américain fait suite au lobbying anti-Museveni que pratique aux États-Unis, depuis quelques mois, l'autre grand opposant Ougandais, Bobi Wine, qui a officiellement perdu la présidentielle de janvier dernier ? On sait que Bobby Wine essaie d'activer des leviers pour faire connaître la situation dans son pays. En tout cas, c'est sur cette scène internationale qu'il a choisi de poursuivre le combat depuis sa fuite, suite à la répression violente dont il a été l'objet après l'élection de janvier 2026. Faut-il donc s'attendre à des années très difficiles pour la démocratie ougandaise ? Je ne suis pas du tout optimiste. Je suis même très inquiète sur ce qu'il va se passer. Je pense que tous les observateurs et personnes qui sont attachés au respect des libertés fondamentales le sont.

What's all the fuss about, the gang is back together. G and Andy talk about their Summertides experience and we chop it up about trash in Nairobi, actual trash!

Depuis la tenue du sommet du G7 à Evian entre le 15 et le 17 juin dernier auquel le président français Emmanuel Macron n'a pas invité son homologue sud-africain, un irritant s'est immiscé dans les relations franco-sud-africaines. Alors que Cyril Ramaphosa est en visite officielle à Paris ce vendredi 10 juillet, les deux dirigeants vont-ils en parler ? Quels sont par ailleurs les autres enjeux de ce déplacement ? Chercheuse à International Crisis Group, la Sud-Africaine Liesl Louw répond pour l'occasion aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Est-ce que les relations franco-sud-africaines se sont distendues depuis qu'Emmanuel Macron a oublié d'inviter Cyril Ramaphosa au dernier G7, à Evian, en France ? Liesl Louw : Oui, il y avait des tensions, c'est sûr, parce qu'initialement, apparemment, Ramaphosa a reçu une invitation pour assister au G7, mais il a été désinvité, ou comme vous avez dit, on a oublié de l'inviter au dernier moment. Donc Ramaphosa aussi n'est pas allé au sommet de Nairobi, le Africa Forward du mois de mai dernier. Donc il y avait ces deux rendez-vous et je pense que l'Afrique du Sud est déçue par cette situation. Mais on a compris que la pression du président Trump, qui menaçait de ne pas venir à Evian, si Ramaphosa assistait à cette réunion, était principalement la cause de cette situation par le fait que Ramaphosa finalement n'a pas été invité pour venir au G7. Vu la proximité stratégique entre la France et les États-Unis, on l'a encore vu cette semaine à Ankara lors du sommet de l'Otan, quel est l'intérêt pour Cyril Ramaphosa de venir en France ? Oui, il y a beaucoup d'intérêts. D'abord économique, pour attirer des investissements. Le plus grand problème aujourd'hui pour Ramaphosa, c'est le manque de croissance économique. L'Afrique du Sud n'attire pas d'investissements étrangers, mais il y a des sociétés françaises implantées en Afrique du Sud et l'Afrique du Sud aimerait bien augmenter ces investissements et le commerce entre les deux pays. On fait face à des graves problèmes de chômage. Ça aussi, c'est une des causes de ces graves émeutes et des manifestations xénophobes en Afrique du Sud. Donc, Ramaphosa veut montrer que, malgré ces tensions géopolitiques, l'Afrique du Sud reste un pays important sur le plan international et africain, même si les relations entre l'Afrique du Sud et le reste du continent passent un très mauvais moment actuellement. Malgré l'attaque de l'Ukraine par la Russie en 2022, l'Afrique du Sud maintient son alliance stratégique avec Moscou. Est-ce que ce n'est pas un sérieux point de divergence entre l'Afrique du Sud et la France ? Est-ce que ça ne va pas finir par fragiliser les relations entre les deux pays ? Oui, c'est vrai que, depuis l'invasion de l'Ukraine en 2022, l'Afrique du Sud a été très critiquée par les pays européens pour sa position. Surtout certains individus au sein de l'ANC [le parti au pouvoir, NDLR] qui sont ouvertement pro-russes. L'Afrique du Sud aussi a présidé un sommet des Brics où la Russie joue un rôle important. Mais je pense que c'est ça qui fait que l'Afrique du Sud est un peu au cœur de ce jeu géopolitique. Parce que d'un côté, certains sont vus comme pro-russes, mais en même temps, le président Ramaphosa est très ouvert aux Occidentaux. L'Afrique du Sud a quand même montré une position non alignée, neutre quelque part dans ce jeu géopolitique. Je pense que ce sentiment pro-russe a un peu diminué avec le temps depuis 2022. Les relations avec l'Europe se sont améliorées depuis. Depuis un mois, le gouvernement sud-africain est accusé par plusieurs autres gouvernements africains, notamment ceux du Nigeria et du Ghana, de fermer les yeux sur les graves violences xénophobes en Afrique du Sud. En allant à Paris, est-ce que Cyril Ramaphosa vient aussi rompre un certain isolement diplomatique ? Oui, absolument, l'Afrique du Sud et son image sur le continent souffrent énormément de ces violences xénophobes. Ramaphosa, lui-même, je pense, n'a pas su être à la hauteur pour dénoncer ces manifestations, mais pas uniquement les manifestations, la violence contre les étrangers africains en Afrique du Sud. En ce qui concerne son isolement diplomatique, c'est très intéressant de voir l'Afrique du Sud renouer des liens avec des pays comme le Rwanda où, depuis très longtemps, l'Afrique du Sud n'avait pas eu de bonnes relations. Le ministre des Affaires étrangères rwandais était en Afrique du Sud pour la première fois en visite officielle depuis douze ans. Et du fait de cet isolement diplomatique, est-ce que le business en souffre ? Est-ce qu'il y a moins d'investissements en Afrique du Sud ? Je pense que, pour le moment, on ne sent pas encore ça. Le manque d'investissement en Afrique du Sud, depuis très longtemps, est lié à d'autres facteurs, notamment les problèmes d'infrastructures et d'approvisionnement en électricité. Là où on peut voir peut-être à l'avenir un problème économique lié à ces violences xénophobes, c'est pour les entreprises sud-africaines implantées sur le continent, comme le groupe de télécom MTN par exemple au Nigeria, qui est parfois mis en difficulté par le gouvernement nigérian à cause de ce qu'il se passe en Afrique du Sud et des violences xénophobes.

How does a tech internship at a community centre in Kenya lead to one of the highest honours in the Salesforce ecosystem?   In this episode of our Golden Hoodie Winners series, I sit down with Alimali Stephens, Salesforce Senior Developer, community leader, and Salesforce Golden Hoodie recipient. Alimali shares an inspiring story that began with a desire to give back to his local community and led to an unforgettable moment on the Dreamforce stage.   His journey reminds us that opportunities often arrive when we're focused on helping others rather than chasing recognition.  Where It All Began  Alimali takes us back to his early days at the Karibu Centre in Kenya, where he joined as an intern supporting programmes for mothers, children, and the wider community.   It was there that he was first introduced to Salesforce through a volunteer programme. Rather than simply learning a new platform, he became part of a project that transformed how the organisation measured its impact, automated manual processes, and better supported the families it served.  That first experience with Salesforce would shape the rest of his career.  An Unforgettable Dreamforce Moment  One day, his director called him into the office with an unexpected question. How comfortable was he speaking in front of a large audience?  Soon afterwards, Alimali discovered he had been invited to present on the Dreamforce Admin Keynote. It would be his first visit outside Africa, his first trip to the United States, and, as it turned out, the day he received a surprise Salesforce Golden Hoodie.  To make the moment even more memorable, it all happened on his birthday.   Building A Career While Building A Community  Since receiving his Golden Hoodie, Alimali has continued to grow professionally, progressing from Salesforce Administrator to consultant and now Senior Salesforce Developer.   Alongside his day job, he has remained committed to community leadership. As a Salesforce Community Leader in Nairobi and a technology lead with Africa Ohana, he spends his time mentoring aspiring professionals, organising events, and helping others discover opportunities within the Salesforce ecosystem.  His belief is simple. The more people we help today, the stronger the community becomes tomorrow.  Why Community Changes Careers  Throughout our conversation, Alimali explains how discovering the Salesforce community transformed his own learning journey.  Early in his career, he often found himself solving problems alone because he didn't know there were other Salesforce professionals nearby who could help. Today, he works to ensure new Trailblazers never have that same experience.  It's a powerful reminder that asking questions, sharing knowledge, and supporting one another often accelerates everyone's growth.  AI Through The Eyes Of A Salesforce Developer  We also discuss how AI is changing the role of Salesforce developers.   Rather than seeing AI as a threat, Alimali views it as a practical tool that helps developers solve problems faster, reduce repetitive work, and deliver better solutions for customers. He shares examples of building AI-powered Salesforce solutions and explains why learning to work alongside AI will become an increasingly valuable skill.  What part of Alimali's journey inspired you the most, and how could giving back to your own community shape your career in ways you never expected?  About Supermums  Founded by Heather Black, a Salesforce Golden Hoodie winner, Supermums helps relaunchers and seasoned Salesforce professionals accelerate their careers in tech through expert training, career coaching and recruitment support.  Whether someone is returning to work, pivoting into a new role, or ready to step up in the Salesforce ecosystem, Supermums provides practical training, mentoring and access to job opportunities to help them build confidence, sharpen their skills and progress faster.  Alongside its career development programmes, Supermums partners with employers to connect them with talented Salesforce professionals who are ready to make an impact.

Last year Kenya's President William Ruto established a task force to investigate the escalating cases of gender-based violence including femicide. The task force travelled around the country gathering information and at the beginning of this year published its recommendations, which are now being debated in parliament. One of those recommendations is the legal recognition of femicide as a standalone crime. UN Women, the United Nations agency which promotes the empowerment and rights of girls and women, have been working with grassroots organisations in Kenya on male engagement strategies, to change perceptions of the role of men and women. But the UN Women's representative in Kenya, acknowledges that challenges remain. In the meantime, women continue to march in protest and the country waits to see if President Ruto will implement the task force recommendations. So, is Kenya serious about ending femicide?Contributors Shyleen Momanyi, executive director, Young Women's Leadership Institute, Nairobi, Kenya Dr Nancy Baraza, former deputy chief justice of the Republic of Kenya, senior law lecturer, University of Nairobi, chairperson of the technical working group on gender-based violence including femicide, Kenya Consuelo Corradi, professor of sociology, Lumsa University, Rome, Italy Antonia Sodonon, UN Women country representative, Kenya Presenter: Charmaine Cozier Producer: Jill Collins Researcher: Evie Yabsley Editor: Tom Bigwood Technical producer: Toby James Production management: Phoebe Lomas and Liam Morrey(Photo: Protesters attend a rally in Nairobi demanding an end to femicide, 27 January, 2024.

In this episode we are joined by one of the most hilarious media personalities, Laura Mbatha, as we talk about everything happening in Nairobi. Enjoy!

Anti-immigrant protests in South Africa have raised difficult questions about race, class, and who gets targeted during waves of xenophobic anger. While Black African migrants have faced growing hostility, Chinese migrants and other foreign communities have largely avoided the same scrutiny. This week, Eric, Cobus, and Géraud examine why that is, and what it reveals about poverty, politics, and state dysfunction in South Africa. They also unpack a new set of China-South Africa trade protocols that could quietly expand bilateral trade, especially as Pretoria's relationship with Washington becomes more strained. Finally, they reflect on recent conversations in Nairobi, South Africa, Beijing, and New York about China, Africa, and the Global South's place in a rapidly changing world order.

A report by the rights group Amnesty International has further allegations of atrocities carried out by the Rapid Support Forces when they seized the city of El Fasher last October. The RSF has admitted abuses - but says they've been exaggerated. Also: China introduces a new law to promote ethnic harmony - but will it? Venezuelans want more equipment to search for the missing following two earthquakes last week. The Japanese yen falls to its lowest level against the US dollar in 40 years. And football players from the Netherlands have experienced racist abuse for failing to win a penalty shoot-out against Morocco.

Every month, tens of thousands of Russian soldiers are killed or wounded on the front lines. But Vladimir Putin has so far resisted a full-scale mass mobilization that would force large numbers of ordinary Russians into uniform — a move that could prove politically costly at home. So Russia is looking elsewhere for manpower. That includes Africa. In recent months, reports have emerged of African nationals being recruited to fight for Russia in Ukraine. Some go knowingly. But many others appear to have been lured under false pretenses, promised civilian jobs in Russia as truck drivers, security guards, or other workers — only to find themselves routed into military training camps and then sent to the front lines. My guest today, Guyo Chepe Turi, has been investigating how this recruitment pipeline works. He is a research officer with the Institute for Security Studies in Nairobi, where he focuses on East Africa peace, security, and governance. In a recent article, he examined how recruitment networks are targeting young Africans, including in Kenya, and sending them into Russia's war effort. According to Guyo, Ukraine estimates that there are nearly 3,000 fighters from at least 36 African countries now involved in Russia's war. The countries affected include Kenya, Ghana, Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Cameroon, and others. The true number may be higher, because many of these cases go undocumented.

Karl Madelin joins the conversation to explore a challenge most people rarely think about until food prices rise or health problems emerge: the relationship between agriculture, nutrition, and the systems that shape what ends up on our plates.We started with a simple observation.Food isn't just agriculture.It's economics.It's health.It's culture.And ultimately, it's community.Karl brings experience across healthcare, financial services, and now agricultural transformation in Africa. What began as a discussion about food supply quickly became a much larger conversation about resilience, smallholder farmers, hyper-consolidation, nutrition, and why the future of communities may depend on reconnecting consumers with local producers.This isn't just a conversation about farming.It's about how societies create healthier systems—and what happens when efficiency becomes more important than resilience.Most importantly, it's about understanding that every purchasing decision is also an investment in the kind of community we want to build.TL;DRAgriculture is the foundation of economic transformation.Nutrition sits at the intersection of food and health.Hyper-consolidation creates efficiency but reduces resilience and choice.Smallholder farmers should be viewed as family businesses, not development projects.Healthy food systems require reliable supply chains, not just good intentions.Consumer habits shape markets and determine which producers survive.Supporting local agriculture strengthens communities and economic independence.Food choices are investments—not just purchases.Memorable Lines“Agriculture is actually the foundation of economic transformation.”“Nutrition is where health and agriculture meet.”“The original family business was the farm.”“Efficiency without resilience creates fragility.”“Healthy food isn't always accessible, and that's a problem.”“Consumers don't just buy food—they shape markets.”“Every purchase is an investment in someone's community.”“Support smallholder farmers, and you support families.”GuestKarl MadelinBased in Nairobi, Karl has spent his career across healthcare, financial services, and agricultural transformation. His work focuses on economic development, nutrition, and building sustainable agricultural systems that empower smallholder farmers and strengthen communities.Why This MattersMost people think about agriculture only when food prices increase.But food systems shape far more than what's on our dinner tables.They influence health.They determine economic opportunities.They affect communities and culture.And they define how resilient societies become when disruptions happen.Industrial efficiency has delivered abundance.But efficiency without diversity creates fragility.The challenge isn't choosing between global and local systems.It's finding the balance between scale and resilience.Because healthy societies aren't built only by producing more food.They're built by creating systems that allow communities, families, and farmers to thrive together.And sometimes, transformation starts with something as simple as asking where your food came from—and who you're supporting when you buy it.Listen to the full episode of Second Life Leader for a deeper conversation on agriculture, health, resilience, and why rebuilding stronger systems starts closer to home than we think.

Conrad Black critiques Canada's "Combatting Hate Act," arguing it is a tokenistic measure that potentially infringes on free expression. He asserts existing laws are already sufficient to handle genuine incitements to criminal violence. (14)NAIROBI
