Debrief Sénégal - Botswana (3-0) & Tunisie - Ouganda (3-1), première journée de la Coupe d'Afrique des Nations 2025.

A luta de libertação é uma história contada e cantada pelas mulheres da família Araújo. Amélia era uma das principais vozes da Rádio Libertação. A sua filha, Teresa, era bebé quando entrou na luta e cresceu na Escola-Piloto de Conacry. Kady, neta de Amélia e filha de Teresa, diz que a luta continua e é por isso que também usa a voz como uma arma. Falámos com as três em Paris e na Praia. A 5 de Julho de 2025, Paris também festejou os 50 anos da independência de Cabo Verde. Entre os artistas, convidados pelo músico Dino d'Santiago para subirem ao palco do Théâtre de la Ville, estava a cantora cabo-verdiana Kady, vestida com uma t-shirt com a fotografia da avó, Amélia Araújo, uma voz da luta de libertação. Meses depois, Kady regressou à capital francesa, novamente convidada por Dino d'Santiago, para actuar no Festival Lisboa Nu Bai Paris, desta vez na sala La Gaîté Lyrique. Kady usa a voz como uma arma, tal como a avó o fez, outrora, ao microfone da Rádio Libertação. “É como se estivesse a dar continuidade ao legado da minha avó e de todos os combatentes, mas especialmente da minha avó porque a arma dela foi a voz e é a arma também que eu uso, entre aspas, para tentar trazer mais luz, mais emancipação intelectual porque acho que ainda temos um longo caminho para andar, apesar de já ter sido bem pavimentado. Eu sinto que é dar continuidade e honrar esse legado”, contou Kady à RFI, no final do concerto de 8 de Novembro. Kady, Terezinha e Amélia são três mulheres que representam a própria história de Cabo Verde. A luta passou de geração em geração, primeiro com a pioneira Amélia Araújo, que lutou pela libertação; depois com a sua filha, a cantora Terezinha, cujo talento foi estimulado pelo próprio Amílcar Cabral, o líder das independências de Cabo Verde e da Guiné-Bissau; e agora com Kady, neta da revolução. “A luta continua”, lembra a mais jovem das mulheres Araújo aqui entrevistadas. Amélia Araújo era uma das vozes mais ouvidas da luta, a locutora das emissões em português da Rádio Libertação. No final de Maio, ela falou com a RFI, na sua casa na Praia, para recordar os tempos em que a rádio que dirigia era uma poderosa arma de guerra psicológica, descrita por Amílcar Cabral como o “canhão de boca” da luta de libertação. O líder do PAIGC era também um colaborador frequente da rádio que levava as mensagens da revolução aos povos guineense e cabo-verdiano. “A Rádio Libertação foi um instrumento que nos ajudou a transmitir as nossas opções, os nossos princípios e aquilo que nós queríamos para nós, para os nossos países: liberdade, independência. Nós fazíamos cópias dos programas e mandávamos para Dakar, para o Gana e para Angola também. Era muito divulgado e deu o seu contributo para a luta de libertação da Guiné-Bissau e Cabo Verde”, conta. Foi a 16 de Julho de 1967 que a Rádio Libertação começou a emitir, a partir de Conacri. As primeiras experiências tinham começado em 1964, mas o emissor era muito fraco. Em 1966, Amélia e outros companheiros foram enviados para uma formação de alguns meses em Moscovo e regressam a Conacri com um emissor portátil oferecido pelos russos. Mas a rádio era ainda pouco ouvida devido à fraca potência e, em 1967, a Suécia oferece-lhes um estúdio e um emissor moderno. Começavam as emissões que seriam em português, crioulo, balanta, fula, mandinga e beafada. Amélia Araújo trabalhava nas emissões em português e os soldados portugueses chamavam-na “Maria Turra”. “Turra” era o termo usado pelos portugueses para designar os guerrilheiros independentistas. O “Comunicado de Guerra” e o “Programa do Soldado Português” eram as produções mais ouvidas. O “Comunicado de Guerra” anunciava diariamente os combates ocorridos nas várias frentes e divulgava a lista dos soldados portugueses mortos, lida de uma forma propositadamente lenta. O “Programa do Soldado Português” incitava os militares à resistência e à revolta contra uma guerra que não era deles. A Rádio Libertação foi a arma principal de Amélia Araújo, mas a luta tinha começado muito antes. Em Luanda, onde nasceu - filha de mae angolana e pai cabo-verdiano - Amélia apaixonou-se por José Araújo, futuro dirigente do PAIGC, e quando ele foi estudar direito em Portugal, acabaria por segui-lo. Em 1960, casam em Lisboa e a filha Teresa nasce em Fevereiro de 1961. Apenas três meses depois, dá-se aquela que ficou conhecida como a Fuga dos Cem, quando dezenas de nacionalistas angolanos, cabo-verdianos, moçambicanos e são-tomenses deixam Portugal para irem participar nas lutas de libertação dos seus países, incluindo José Araújo. Amélia tinha 28 anos e uma bébé ao colo, pelo que elas não integraram o grupo por questões de segurança, mas conseguiram chegar a Paris e juntar-se a José. Uns tempos depois também deixam a capital francesa para se juntarem à luta de libertação. Em Conacri, aderem ao Partido Africano da Independência da Guiné-Bissau e de Cabo Verde (PAIGC), liderado por Amílcar Cabral, uma das personalidades mais importantes da luta anticolonial e arquitecto da queda do Império português. José Araujo viria a ser dirigente do PAIGC, responsável de propaganda, comissário político na Frente Sul e colaborador da Rádio Libertação e do boletim em francês "PAIGC Actualités". Amélia Araújo chegou a trabalhar no secretariado do MPLA, depois no secretariado do PAIGC até 1967, quando assumiu a função de directora da Rádio Libertação e se tornou na voz principal da luta e de combate ao colonialismo. Por isso, o berço de Teresa, conhecida como Terezinha, foi a luta de libertação. Em pequenina, andou na Escola-Piloto de Conacri, onde estudavam os filhos dos combatentes e que tinha como professores os próprios guerrilheiros, nomeadamente os seus pais. Vários alunos da Escola-Piloto animaram o programa de rádio "Blufo", dirigido a crianças e jovens. Seguindo as pisadas da mãe, Terezinha era uma das locutoras. “O programa era para os outros alunos das outras escolas e internatos espalhados nas zonas libertadas. Contávamos a história do que nós fazíamos e também recebíamos alguns depoimentos de alunos do interior da Guiné das zonas libertadas. Também contávamos os episódios que se passavam e nas datas comemorativas, como 1 de Junho, 19 de Setembro, também por altura do Natal, datas de final do ano, fazíamos programas alusivos a essas datas. No início, nós tivemos que ser preparados pela minha mãe, a dicção correcta, como falar para a rádio e aprendemos bastante. Foi muito interessante”, conta Teresa Araújo. Perante o trabalho intensivo da mãe no secretariado-geral do PAIGC junto a Amílcar Cabral e também na rádio, Terezinha passa a interna na Escola-Piloto juntamente com a irmã, até aos 12 anos. Foi aֵí que começou a cantar, a partir de uma audição em que interpretou “Fidju Magoado” – que viria a saber, mais tarde, ser a morna favorita de Amílcar Cabral. O líder das lutas testemunhou e até estimulou o talento de Terezinha que, anos mais tarde, se tornou numa das vozes incontornáveis de Cabo Verde com o grupo Simentera. A morna “Fidju Magoado” aparece novamente em 2004 no disco “Nôs Riqueza”, com mornas do pai, José Araújo, que também compunha e tocava viola. No fundo, foi na Escola-Piloto que os palcos se abriram para Terezinha, com as crianças a levarem a mensagem a outros países da luta contra o colonialismo e pela libertação. Com o grupo de teatro de crianças e jovens, em que cantava, dançava e fazia teatro, ela actuou, em 1970, no Palácio do Povo em Conacri, tendo na primeira fila a cantora sul-africana Miriam Makeba. Em 1971,72, o grupo vai em digressão a Dacar, Ziguinchor e Teranga, no Senegal, Banjul, na Gâmbia, Nouakchot, Nouadibou e Attar, na Mauritânia. Em 1973, as crianças ficam três meses na Escola-Piloto de Teranga a prepararem a participação no 10° Festival Internacional da Juventude e Estudantes, em Berlim, onde Terezinha canta ao lado de Miriam Makeba. Findo o ciclo de estudos na Escola-Piloto, aos 12 anos, Terezinha foi para a Escola Internato Internacional Elena Dimitrievna Stásova, na cidade de Yvanovo, a uns 300 quilómetros de Moscovo. Aí também continuou a representar a escola em Foruns Internacionais que decorriam em Moscovo. Dos tempos da luta, é Amílcar Cabral e a Escola-Piloto que recorda com mais ternura. “A Escola-Piloto era a menina dos olhos dele [Amílcar Cabral], era a referência. Então, ele levava sempre à Escola-Piloto delegações que vinham visitar o PAIGC. Além disso, a presença dele era diária. Só mesmo quando não pudesse ir, por causa de algum trabalho, é que não ia. Ia cedo de manhã e assistia à nossa preparação física e, às vezes, entrava mesmo na competição. Nós tínhamos um jogo do lenço e ele nunca perdia. Ele era muito bom! Ele aproveitava esses momentos também para nos ensinar outros jogos. Escutava os alunos, perguntava às crianças se estavam a ser bem tratadas, se estavam a ter comida boa. Ele queria mesmo verificar que as crianças estavam a ser bem tratadas, porque, como ele dizia, as crianças eram as flores da revolução e a razão da luta”, recorda, nostálgica, a cantora.

Economy Trump Administration Announces Change to Offshore Wind Construction  President Donald Trump's Department of the Interior is pausing offshore wind project construction due to “national security risks.” “Due to national security concerns identified by the Department of War, Interior is PAUSING leases for 5 expensive, unreliable, heavily subsidized offshore wind farms!” Interior Secretary Doug Burgum wrote on X. “ONE natural gas pipeline supplies as much energy as these 5 projects COMBINED,” Burgum added. “POTUS is bringing common sense back to energy policy & putting security FIRST!” Leases with Vineyard Wind1, Revolution Wind, CVOW, Sunrise Wind, and Empire Wind will be paused.

A gallon of gas costs about twice as much in California as it does pretty much anywhere else in the United States. The reason why, of course, is that California makes it cost about twice as much – by reducing supply and by adding costs, chiefly for “environmental” reasons. This includes a new requirement – going into effect very soon (Dec. 31) that all gas stations must either replace single-walled underground storage tanks or permanently close them – no matter whether the tanks are actually leaking and no matter how much it costs to replace them. It is estimated that about 473 gas stations in California are going to close – because the owners cannot afford the mandatory underground storage tank upgrade costs or the $5,000 per day fines for non-compliance. At the same time, the state's regulatory bureaucracy has essentially shut down supply by denying 97 percent of permits for new refineries to supply the extra-special (and extra-expensive) gasoline formulations that all gas stations in California are required to sell. If this hypothetical scenario ends up becoming the actual scenario it could result in the collapse of California as a state.

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

That changed on Wednesday (December 17, 2025) when they began to receive notices from officials in Washington about their imminent departures.  How Trump shifted America's policy in a week Ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the President, although they typically remain at their posts for three to four years. Those affected by the shake-up are not losing their foreign service jobs but will be returning to Washington for other assignments should they wish to take them, the officials said. Africa is the continent most affected by the removals, with ambassadors from 13 countries being removed: Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Mauritius, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia and Uganda. Second is Asia, with ambassadorial changes coming to six countries: Fiji, Laos, the Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and Vietnam affected. Four countries in Europe (Armenia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Slovakia) are affected; as are two each in the Middle East (Algeria and Egypt); South and Central Asia (Nepal and Sri Lanka); and the Western Hemisphere (Guatemala and Suriname).

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

A 35ª edição da mais importante competição de futebol da África começa neste domingo (21) no Marrocos. A seleção anfitriã mede forças contra Comores e sonha com o bicampeonato, já que conquistou seu primeiro título em 1976. Adversário do Brasil na estreia na Copa do Mundo de 2026, Marrocos foi semifinalista do último Mundial, em 2022; o melhor resultado da história de um país africano no torneio. Marcio Arruda, da RFI em Paris A Copa Africana de Nações (CAN), realizada entre dezembro e janeiro, vai reunir 24 países, que têm apenas um objetivo: o título continental. Essa CAN promete ser a mais prestigiada da história da competição, já que sete das nove seleções que vão disputar a Copa do Mundo de 2026 estarão em campo. “Esta edição vai ter muito mais pessoas assistindo porque, no Mundial do próximo ano, nove seleções africanas vão participar. Entre as que estarão na Copa do Mundo, apenas Cabo Verde e Gana não vão jogar esta CAN. Mas a verdade é que as outras sete vão estar presentes e será uma oportunidade para os treinadores que vão enfrentá-las na próxima Copa observarem suas forças e suas fraquezas e já fazerem um trabalho de preparação", analisa Marco Martins, jornalista português especializado na Copa Africana de Nações. "Em jogos amistosos, estas seleções podem esconder um pouco as táticas, a maneira de jogar, quem são as estrelas e como são técnica e taticamente. Mas desta vez é uma competição oficial. É um torneio que as seleções africanas adoram; para elas, é uma honra conquistar esse troféu. É como a Eurocopa para os europeus. É um orgulho ser a principal seleção do continente. E agora as seleções não vão poder esconder o jogo”, argumenta Martins. Leia tambémSeleção brasileira muda postura em campo com Ancelotti e torcedores sonham com hexa Pensando no Mundial de 2026, o jornalista ressalta que é a chance do treinador da seleção brasileira, o italiano Carlo Ancelotti, e sua comissão técnica avaliarem um dos adversários da equipe no torneio da Fifa. "O Brasil, por exemplo, vai jogar contra o Marrocos na Copa. Então, será uma oportunidade para o técnico Ancelotti tomar algumas notas e ver o potencial da equipe marroquina. Esta será uma CAN muito assistida justamente pelo fato de que faltam aproximadamente seis meses para a Copa do Mundo. Esta edição vai despertar muito mais interesse e terá uma grande visibilidade", completou Marco Martins. Sotaque português na Copa Africana Se Cabo Verde, que estará na Copa do Mundo, não vai disputar a CAN, outras duas seleções lusófonas jogarão em estádios marroquinos. “Temos a presença de Angola e Moçambique. Penso que são duas seleções que caíram em grupos bastante difíceis, mas eu realmente acho que podem fazer uma boa figuração no torneio”, opinou o técnico português Nuno da Silva. O treinador, que recentemente integrou a comissão técnica do União Desportiva do Songo, de Moçambique, analisou as chances da seleção moçambicana, que já disputou seis Copas Africanas e vai estrear nesta edição contra a atual campeã Costa do Marfim. “O grupo de Moçambique está estruturado com o retorno do capitão Dominguês e de outros jogadores que há anos fazem parte do elenco. Os jovens que têm entrado ainda não têm lugares cativos entre os 11 titulares. O grupo se manteve uniforme e isso pode ser uma vantagem para a seleção moçambicana”, disse. “Em uma competição como esta não se trata de ter grupos fáceis ou não. O momento de cada seleção vai ditar muita coisa na competição”, resume Nuno da Silva. Nuno também tem passagem pelo Interclube, um dos principais times de Angola. O treinador de 40 anos analisou a seleção angolana, que fará sua décima participação na CAN e, nesta edição, disputará seu primeiro jogo contra a África do Sul. “No grupo de Angola tem um novo técnico que já teve passagem pela seleção como treinador adjunto. Regressa agora ao país que conhece, mas numa função distinta e de mais importância. O grupo teve alguns regressos que estavam fora com o treinador anterior, teve também algumas perdas, e penso que neste aspecto, comparado a Moçambique, a seleção de Angola tem algo a perder porque vai precisar de mais tempo para assimilar as ideias do treinador”, explicou. Salah turbinado para esta CAN? Um dos favoritos no grupo de Angola é o Egito, maior vencedor da Copa Africana de Nações com sete conquistas. Entretanto, a última foi há 15 anos, em 2010. Principal jogador da seleção egípcia, Mohamed Salah, que busca sua primeira conquista pelo país, atravessa um momento delicado em seu clube, o Liverpool, da Inglaterra. O treinador da equipe, Arne Slot, deixou Salah fora do time titular nas últimas rodadas da Premier League. Tudo porque o atacante o criticou publicamente. E será que o técnico Nuno da Silva acha que essa desavença pode prejudicar o rendimento do jogador na seleção do Egito? “Sinceramente, por se tratar de uma relação clube-seleção, eu acho que pode dar uma força enorme ao atleta. Penso que isso, a relação dele com o treinador Arne Slot, é um problema interno do Liverpool. Voltar a ser o rosto e o símbolo da nação egípcia pode motivar bastante o Salah para a CAN. Acho que o Egito pode ficar muito mais forte com o Salah presente”, opinou Nuno. Equilíbrio entre os favoritos Além do Egito, há outras seleções favoritas ao título desta edição. Algumas por terem um jogador que pode decidir uma partida, outras pela força coletiva. “Não sei se poderá haver surpresas porque, no fundo, há muitas equipes que são favoritas, como o Marrocos, que é anfitriã, o Egito, que tem o Mohamed Salah, e a Nigéria, que conta com o Victor Osimhen. Há também a Tunísia, que é muito forte coletivamente, o Senegal, que vai a campo com Sadio Mané, a Argélia, que se destaca pelo coletivo, e finalmente a Costa do Marfim. Todas essas podem alcançar o título e estamos falando de um leque de quase dez seleções. A surpresa aconteceria se uma das duas seleções lusófonas, que até hoje nunca foram campeãs, chegasse ao título", afirmou Marco Martins.  "É importante falar que há um tipo de hierarquia, como acontece na América do Sul e na Europa. Na África, temos oito ou dez seleções que podem conquistar a CAN", explica o jornalista Marco Martins. "Então, eu não espero surpresa nesta edição. Daquelas que citei, se uma delas for campeã, para mim não será surpreendente”, cravou. O treinador Nuno disse que “os candidatos ao título acabam por ser os habituais, como Marrocos, por jogar em casa, Costa do Marfim, por ser a atual campeã, e outras seleções que podem ter boas atuações. Eu acho que Moçambique pode fazer uma 'gracinha' no grupo e ir longe na competição. Angola, claramente pela qualidade da seleção, pode pensar em algo além da simples passagem pela fase de grupos”. O jornalista Marco Martins não acredita que as duas seleções de língua portuguesa chegarão longe nesta CAN. “Se Angola ou Moçambique vencerem, será uma surpresa. Penso o mesmo sobre a Guiné Equatorial, Sudão, Botsuana e Benin”, opinou. Campeã aos trancos e barrancos Marco também lembrou o título da Costa do Marfim na última edição da Copa Africana. “Foi uma surpresa a Costa do Marfim alcançar o título. Apesar de jogar em casa, a campanha foi turbulenta. Lembro que algo não funcionava naquela seleção nos primeiros jogos e houve a troca de técnico. Era o clique que precisavam. Conseguiram avançar da fase de grupos graças a uma combinação de resultados. A classificação para as oitavas de final parece ter sido a motivação extra que a equipe precisava. Situação rara, mas não inédita. Na Eurocopa de 2016, Portugal terminou em terceiro no seu grupo e avançou às oitavas por ter sido um dos melhores terceiros colocados na competição”, contou o jornalista português. O regulamento daquela Euro permitia a classificação às oitavas das duas melhores seleções de cada grupo, além de quatro equipes com melhor desempenho entre as que ficaram em terceiro lugar nas suas respectivas chaves. “Depois de passar pela fase de grupos, Portugal conseguiu chegar à final e foi campeão ao vencer a França, que jogava em casa no Stade de France. Isso mostra que, de vez em quando, seleções e clubes conseguem dar a volta por cima. Na temporada passada, por exemplo, o PSG teve muitas dificuldades na Champions League. Na penúltima partida da primeira fase contra o Manchester City, em determinado momento, o PSG estava sendo eliminado, mas conseguiram reverter a situação, ganharam o jogo, se classificaram para os playoffs somente na última rodada, avançaram na competição e venceram a Liga dos Campeões. E algo parecido aconteceu com a Costa do Marfim”, completou. Apesar de ter conquistado o título da última edição da CAN, a equipe marfinense teve uma campanha irregular, que ficou marcada pela troca de treinador durante a competição. Depois da fase de grupos, o francês Jean-Louis Gasset foi demitido e o auxiliar marfinense Emerse Faé assumiu o comando da seleção até a vitória na final por 2 a 1 diante da Nigéria. Grupos desta edição da CAN: Grupo A: Marrocos, Mali, Zâmbia e Comores Grupo B: África do Sul, Zimbábue, Egito e Angola Grupo C: Tanzânia, Nigéria, Tunísia e Uganda Grupo D: Senegal, Botsuana, RD Congo e Benin Grupo E: Argélia, Guiné Equatorial, Burkina Faso e Sudão Grupo F: Camarões, Gabão, Moçambique e Costa do Marfim O jogo de abertura da Copa Africana de Nações será entre Marrocos e Comores. A final está prevista para o dia 18 de janeiro de 2026. Campeões na história da Copa Africana de Nações: Egito: 7 (1957, 1959, 1986, 1998, 2006, 2008 e 2010) Camarões: 5 (1984, 1988, 2000, 2002 e 2017) Gana: 4 (1963, 1965, 1978 e 1982) Nigéria: 3 (1980, 1994 e 2013) Costa do Marfim: 3 (1992, 2015 e 2023) RD Congo: 2 (1968 e 1974) Argélia: 2 (1990 e 2019) Etiópia: 1 (1962) Sudão: 1 (1970) Congo: 1 (1972) Marrocos: 1 (1976) África do Sul: 1 (1996) Tunísia: 1 (2004) Zâmbia: 1 (2012) Senegal: 1 (2021)

What if a stranger inviting you to build a boat halfway around the world led to meeting your wife, building a family, and discovering your life's work? In this episode, John Caprani, video advertising specialist for home service businesses, shares his unconventional journey from Ireland to West Africa to Fiji and finally to Spain. After meeting a Swiss sailor named Hans in 2011, John packed everything for a one-way ticket to Senegal to build a 72-foot wooden sailboat. That adventure led to a job in Fiji doing construction project management, where he met his wife within six weeks, married her six months later, and became a father 10 months after that. Six years later, with two kids under three and a deep dissatisfaction with his corporate job, John made the leap into entrepreneurship at age 37. Now specializing in video advertising for home service businesses generating $1M to $5M annually, he's helped clients book $800K in 30 days and $95K in 40 days using a simple approach that most marketers overlook: putting the founder on camera and building trust through personality instead of just showcasing work. John reveals why trust matters more than perfect craftsmanship when entering someone's home, why employees can never sell as effectively as founders on video, and how narrowing his focus to home services transformed his results.   [00:02:20] The Technology That Makes the World Smaller John is in Valencia, Spain (nine hours ahead of Seattle) Zoom and modern technology make global conversations seamless Kevin used to commercial fish in Alaska before technology like this existed The ability to work from anywhere is now a reality [00:04:00] What John Does: Video Advertising for Home Service Businesses Spent years as a copywriter but found it hard to sell to uneducated buyers Shifted 18 months ago to focus specifically on home service businesses Serves businesses doing upgrades: walls, paving, air conditioning, barns, storage units, renovations, landscaping Specializes in video advertising on Facebook and Instagram only Works with businesses selling high-ticket services for the home [00:06:33] Why Home Services Is Different: Trust Over Technique Local business marketing is not as sophisticated as e-commerce or online coaching Most local businesses aren't doing video marketing at all Those who do focus on work being done (pictures of installations) which doesn't solve the real problem John's approach: focus on personality and the business owner themselves [00:08:38] Kevin's Parallel Journey: Carpet Cleaning in 1995 Started carpet cleaning and restoration business in 1995 Blew through $300K in first year following traditional industry approach Advertised "two rooms and a hallway for $59.95" (then dropped to $49.95) Key lesson: trust is huge when you're in people's homes while they're at work [00:13:04] John's Background: From Father's Business to Sailing Father was entrepreneur in publishing, graphic arts, and printing Tried entrepreneurial things as teenager but they didn't work out Spent twenties traveling, went to UK, learned woodworking skills Learned artisan craft skills, made lovely things, lived hand to mouth existence Everything changed when he got married, needed more stability [00:14:20] The Construction Years: Getting Promoted Out of Success Friend offered job in construction industry doing project management for holiday resort renovations Was good at project management, actually being on site Got promoted out of job he was good at into job he sucked at: marketing and sales Had to learn copywriting and marketing to sell to traveling business clients [00:15:40] The Big Decision: Quit at 37 with Two Kids Under Three In 2018, didn't want to stay in construction, wanted freedom Knew online meant he could travel, move countries, income unaffected Was 37, married, two kids under age three Had enough money to live for maybe three or four months Quit job in September 2018, got first couple of clients, took it from there [00:20:16] The Jockey and the Horse John likens his role to being a jockey "The horse you ride on is most of the race won" Not magic on his part, certain factors need to be in place When it works, it really works [00:22:00] The Sweet Spot: Five to Fifteen Person Teams Prefers smaller businesses: 5-15 people team Direct relationship with founder No layers of bureaucracy Say "Can you help me?" John says "Yes," they say "Okay, let 'er rip" Bigger businesses (20-30+ people) have marketing team in-house, bureaucracy, people covering their own ass [00:23:08] The Non-Negotiable: A Good Assistant on the Phone John needs business owner to have assistant who is good on the phone When leads come in, owner should NOT be doing screening or appointment setting Owners are often best salesperson but definitely not best appointment setter They start to hate it because it's beneath them, then they hate John [00:27:00] The One-Way Ticket to Senegal Hans said: "I'm not gonna buy your ticket there, but I'll pay for everything after. I want to see that you get there on your own steam" "Show up at Dakar Airport in Senegal on such and such day, I'll be there to pick you up" John packed up, sold his vehicle, got one-way ticket to Dakar Worked together for 10-11 months building the boat, launched it, did sailing together [00:27:47] The German Guy in Fiji Hans was going to sail elsewhere, John didn't want to go back to Ireland Asked Hans: "Do you know anybody else who might have something interesting?" Hans: "I know this German guy in Fiji doing work on holiday resorts" German guy called a few days later: "I need a man. Can you be here in two weeks?" John: "Would you buy me a ticket?" German: "I'll send you a ticket today" Packed up from London, jumped on plane to Fiji [00:29:40] From Project Management to Sales to Entrepreneurship Started doing dusty construction project management on site in Fiji Got better at job, got promoted to sales Had to learn about selling Led to 2018 decision: "I have these sales skills, I know copywriting, I want out of construction, let's quit and go do my own thing" [00:30:06] The Big Leap: Married, Kids, No Steady Paycheck Pretty big step going from steady paycheck to own thing Mentally tough, but felt like it was now or never at 37 with two kids under three "Gun to the head moment, and gun to the head is a great motivator" Family helped: gave them place to stay while getting on feet in Ireland Wife was rock solid: "I don't understand why you're doing this, but if you want to do it, I'll support you" [00:32:20] The Turning Point: Everything's Actually Okay About 18 months after quitting, I was constantly worried: "Is this gonna fail?" Looked at himself: "Everything's okay. We've still got a place to live. Kids still have shoes. We have food. Nobody's going hungry" "This might not be working perfectly, but it's working. I've covered the basics. We're surviving and I can grow from here" [00:33:20] Five Years Later: Life in Valencia, Spain In 2024, decided time to move on from Ireland Glad to spend those years there, reconnect with family Wanted kids to know his family, wanted wife to become Irish citizen Sold up everything, packed into two cars, road tripped from Ireland to Spain Life has become so much better since moving to Spain [00:36:00] The Integration Life: No Rules About When You Work Don't have work-life balance with entrepreneurship Do get work-life integration if you're smart about it Bring everything in, don't live by rules about finishing work at certain time or can't do anything on weekends Do what you can when you can, find time to get everything in [00:39:38] Where to Find John Website: firedigitalmarketing.com (short video explaining what he does and how it helps) Facebook: John Caprani (most active there) Can get sense of who he is, his opinions and thoughts before reaching out Best place to connect [00:42:40] Repetition Over Perfection First time around won't be perfect, won't be what you feel is perfect in your mind Kevin's coach had him make 24-25 videos in one day walking through a process Every time got more comfortable, didn't have to think about what to say, got the flow [00:44:06] What Really Works: Belief and Confidence All the fancy copywriting, hacks, tactics are good, valuable, useful But what really works better than anything else: somebody who believes in what they do and has some confidence in themselves That'll convert better than anything   KEY QUOTES "If you are an eight out of 10 at your work, but you're like 10 out of 10 in terms of a human being and being trustworthy, people would care about that more than being a 10 out of 10 in the work and maybe being a five out of 10 in the character side of things." - John Caprani "Gun to the head is a great motivator. It'll get you to do shit you wouldn't normally do." - John Caprani "You don't get work-life balance [as an entrepreneur], but you do get work-life integration if you're smart about it." - John Caprani "There's nobody but the founder of a business who really has the conviction and has enough on the line to actually sell it as effectively on video." - John Caprani "All the different fancy copywriting and hacks and tactics, in the end, what really works better than anything else is somebody who believes in what they do and has some confidence in themselves. That'll convert better than anything." - John Caprani CONNECT WITH JOHN CAPRANI 

This week on With Bowl and Spoon, Shelly sits down with Helena Shorter Alston, founder of Kia Vida Superfoods—a woman whose life has been steeped in food from the very beginning. Born into a family rooted in cooking, farming, and restaurant ownership, Helena was said to be cooking by age two! By 23 she had opened her first restaurant in the Poconos, driven by a simple belief that healthy food should taste good. Her lineage also carries a powerful legacy: her great-grandfather purchased 600 acres in Mississippi where he grew vegetables, raised animals, and gave food away to anyone who needed it.Helena's relationship with food only deepened as she moved through the world. While serving in the Peace Corps in Senegal, she encountered Kinkeliba—a traditional West African plant that made such an impression that it later became part of her product line (once it became legal to sell in the U.S.). She went on to explore food science and technology, raise a family, travel widely, and even help feed students after school in Pittsburgh Public Schools. When her husband passed away from diabetes, Helena transformed her grief into purpose, moving her children to Europe to research food, develop recipes, and work on products aimed at preventing diabetes in her family and beyond.Today, Helena splits her time between Pittsburgh and Florida and leads Kia Vida Superfoods, crafting additive-free, nutrient-dense dehydrated meal kits and teas inspired by every chapter of her life. She's a cook, a scientist, an educator, and an adventurer whose greatest joy is hearing from people who feel better because of what she makes.Learn more at kiavidasuperfoods.com or KiaVidaFNS.com.

Today's guest is someone who didn't just survive the worst year of his life, he rebuilt himself from the wreckage and made it public so the rest of us wouldn't feel so alone. Chris Carazas is a global development strategist, memoirist, and creator of a thriving Substack universe where trauma, resilience, humor, and hard-won clarity collide in ways that actually make you rethink your own story.He's the author of Now That I'm Still Here: A Memoir of Ruin and Resurrection, a book that takes you through collapse, recovery, identity, and the quiet, stubborn courage required to stay alive when everything in you is begging to disappear. His writing spans continents, childhoods, faith, family, and the messy process of healing, all while weaving in razor-sharp insight and a voice that refuses to apologize for its honesty.Chris blends global experience with emotional precision, translating life in Senegal, Madagascar, Bolivia, and beyond into a body of work that speaks to anyone who has ever felt out of place or misunderstood.

Despite increasingly hardened visions of racial difference in colonial governance in French Africa after World War I, interracial sexual relationships persisted, resulting in the births of thousands of children. These children, mostly born to African women and European men, sparked significant debate in French society about the status of multiracial people, debates historians have termed 'the métis problem.' Drawing on extensive archival and oral history research in Gabon, Republic of Congo, Senegal, and France, in Multiracial Identities in Colonial French Africa: Race, Childhood, and Citizenship (Cambridge UP, 2023) Dr. Rachel Jean-Baptiste investigates the fluctuating identities of métis. Crucially, she centres claims by métis themselves to access French social and citizenship rights amidst the refusal by fathers to recognize their lineage, and in the context of changing African racial thought and practice. In this original history of race-making, belonging, and rights, Dr. Jean-Baptiste demonstrates the diverse ways in which métis individuals and collectives carved out visions of racial belonging as children and citizens in Africa, Europe, and internationally. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Interview with Segun Lawson, CEO of Thor Exploration Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/thor-exploration-lsethx-nigerian-pioneer-preps-18m-oz-senegal-gold-project-for-q4-pfs-7891Recording date: 3rd December 2025Thor Explorations presents a compelling investment opportunity combining immediate cash generation from low-cost, high-grade gold production with a self-funded development pipeline spanning near-term mine life extension, advanced-stage project construction, and genuine exploration discoveries across three West African jurisdictions.The company operates the 100%-owned Segilola gold mine in Nigeria, producing 90,000–95,000 ounces annually at all-in sustaining costs below $1,000 per ounce. At current gold prices above $4,000 per ounce, Thor captures operating margins exceeding $3,000 per ounce, creating substantial free cash flow that funds quarterly dividends whilst simultaneously financing aggressive exploration and development programmes without equity dilution. Q3 2025 operational results demonstrated this financial strength, with production of 22,600 ounces generating approximately $70 million in revenue. Management's strategic decision to withhold 3,000 ounces for Q4 sale above $4,000 per ounce positions the company for potentially record quarterly financial performance. Thor has completely repaid its project debt, achieving a debt-free balance sheet that provides exceptional strategic flexibility for capital allocation decisions. This financial position distinguishes Thor from capital-constrained peers and enables the company to advance multiple projects simultaneously across different development stages.The Segilola operation represents Thor's immediate value creation opportunity through mine life extension. The company has deployed five drilling rigs exploring beneath the existing pit, systematically intersecting high-grade underground mineralisation averaging 5.5 grams per tonne (g/t) compared to open pit grades of just over 4 g/t. With all infrastructure capital expenditure already sunk and operational expertise established, every additional ounce discovered creates what management characterizes as "super ounces" requiring minimal incremental capital to extract. Thor targets an updated resource estimate in Q1 2026 whilst also pursuing satellite deposits within a 50-kilometre radius of the processing plant. The company plans a pilot mining operation in 2026 at one southern target, supplementing an existing stockpile containing over 44,000 ounces representing more than $175 million in contained gold value.Thor's Douta project in Senegal represents material near-term production growth, with a preliminary feasibility study weeks from completion. The project carries estimated capital costs of $250–$300 million, of which Thor will self-fund $150 million from operational cash flows. The remaining $100 million will be sourced through debt financing with Africa Finance Corporation, which financed Segilola and maintains an equity stake. Management targets first gold production in Q1 2028 following an investment decision expected in H1 2026, with the project featuring a larger resource base than Segilola and approximately 10 years of mine life that would materially increase Thor's consolidated production profile.Early-stage exploration success in Côte d'Ivoire provides genuine blue-sky discovery potential. At Guitry, 4,600 metres of drilling has delineated six mineralised lenses with high-grade intersections including 10 metres at 10 g/t across just 15% of an 8-kilometre by 5-kilometre geochemical footprint. The Marahui project has identified 8 kilometres of drill targets with surface rock chips returning 10–17 g/t. Both projects advance toward maiden resource estimates in H1 2026 through continuous drilling programmes funded entirely from internal cash generation.Thor's investment proposition centres on operational execution, financial strength, and portfolio diversification. The company's ability to generate substantial cash flows whilst advancing multiple growth opportunities without external capital requirements creates a differentiated risk-reward profile. Multiple near-term catalysts through 2026 include the Douta feasibility study release, Segilola resource update, Côte d'Ivoire maiden resources, construction decision-making, and continued operational cash generation supported by elevated gold prices and proven low-cost production capabilities.View Thor Exploration's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/thor-explorations-ltdSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Day 1,376.Today, after a fresh round of talks between the Ukrainian and American delegations in Miami, we examine a new investigation exposing the Trump administration's profit motives behind the emerging proposals. We then assess the resignation of Andriy Yermak, formerly Zelensky's right-hand man, and the unexpected intervention of former Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi – viewed as preparing for a presidential run after the war. Afterwards, we analyse Kyiv's decision to strike the Russian shadow fleet off the coast of Senegal, and how Europe – and France in particular – is positioning itself for this next, volatile phase.ContributorsAdélie Pojzman-Pontay (Journalist and Producer). @adeliepjz on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Joe Barnes (Brussels Correspondent). @Barnes_Joe on X.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.
