Send us a textWe are all under the same Sun. From Praia to Lagos, so much remains the same. It's always fascinated me how much, from Nigeria to Barbados to Jamaica to Angola to Guinea to Mozambique to Haiti to Senegal to Cape Verde, felt like a simulation. All these black men with the same disposition and mannerisms and bluetooths hanging out of their ear. I can't describe to you how funny all these cultures collectively are to me. Separated but you can't hide the roots. But are real conversations actually happening? Are these black men saying, “I'm going through it right now, I'm really struggling with ____”? Not so much that I've seen. We have to give people permission to be themselves sometimes. To say, “you can say how you actually feel and still be manly.” I guess that's one of my missions here. Anyway, Tomi & I sat down to put it on the line & air some dirty laundry. “You can't ruin a true connection by saying how you feel.” I believe that to my core. “The Brothers” (2001) served as the inspo for this one here, hope you enjoy. -WV

Everton's record-breaking wait for a Premier League win at Stamford Bridge continues as they were beaten 1-0 by Chelsea in the west London sunshine. Nicolas Jackson struck the only goal of the contest on 27 minutes when Beto gave up possession cheaply and the Senegal international striker struck a low drive beyond Jordan Pickford. Although the hosts threatened to run riot at that time having dominated the first half, David Moyes' men, playing their first fixture after their Premier League status had been secured for next season improved as the contest wore on. Abdoulaye Doucoure should have done better with a header just before the break while both Beto and substitute Dwight McNeil were denied in the second half as the visitors searched in vain for an equaliser.

Activista político denuncia "actos ilegais" na Guiné-Bissau

O Chefe do Estado-Maior General das Forças Armadas da Guiné-Bissau afirmou na quinta-feira, 24 de Abril, que qualquer pessoa armada que tente desestabilizar o país será "eliminada". O activista político guineense, Sumaila Djaló, lembra o envolvimento das Forças Armadas na Guiné-Bissau na invasão do Supremo Tribunal de Justiça e da Assembleia Nacional Popular, considerando as acções ilegais e contrárias à Constituição guineense. RFI: Como interpretas estas declarações do General Biague Na N'tan sobre a eliminação de quem perturbar a ordem? Há riscos para os direitos humanos?Sumaila Djaló: Os riscos sempre existiram e continuam a existir contra os direitos humanos na Guiné-Bissau, desde que Umaro Sissoco Embaló assumiu o poder unilateralmente em 2020. Essa posse, e os expedientes subsequentes contra a Constituição da República, tiveram a cobertura das Forças Armadas. Recordamo-nos do papel central dos militares na posse, por exemplo, de Nuno Nabiam, imediatamente após a posse de Umaro Sissoco Embaló, com forte apoio militar naquela altura, tanto por militares no activo como na reserva. Assim começou a cumplicidade entre as Forças Armadas e o poder actualmente instituído.As declarações do Chefe do Estado-Maior General das Forças Armadas, Biague Na N'tan, revelam a continuidade da crescente militarização do poder na Guiné-Bissau. Não é a primeira vez que este chefe militar organiza espécies de conferências de imprensa com cariz político, ameaçando adversários políticos de Umaro Sissoco Embaló que, pela Constituição, não deveriam ser adversários dos militares, visto que estes estão impedidos de exercer actividade política.Essas declarações são dirigidas não só contra a oposição política, mas também contra cidadãos e movimentos não partidários que se opõem a este regime autoritário. Quando o Chefe do Estado-Maior fala de perturbadores que, mesmo presos, continuam a ameaçar a ordem pública insita-nos a recordar que houve uma alegada tentativa de golpe de Estado em 2022.Em Fevereiro de 2022...Exactamente. Cerca de 50 pessoas, entre civis e militares, foram detidas nessa altura. As detenções foram denunciadas pela Liga Guineense dos Direitos Humanos e pelos advogados das pessoas detidas como sendo ilegais. Três anos depois, essas pessoas continuam presas em Bissau, sem julgamento e sem liberdade, apesar do Tribunal Superior Militar ter determinado a sua libertação, por falta de provas.O que aconteceu foi que o Chefe do Estado-Maior mandou prender os juízes do Tribunal Superior Militar que emitiram esse acórdão. Portanto, é o próprio Chefe do Estado-Maior que impede a justiça militar de funcionar. Quem é, então, o verdadeiro perturbador da ordem pública é o próprio Chefe do Estado-Maior General das Forças Armadas.Há ainda outra questão importante: sempre que o Chefe do Estado-Maior vem a público com este tipo de declarações, que são verdadeiras declarações de guerra contra a oposição política e o povo guineense, fá-lo em momentos em que Umaro Sissoco Embaló está a atropelar gravemente a Constituição.Que atropelos constitucionais estão a ocorrer agora?Estamos a falar da detenção e perseguição do presidente da Liga Guineense dos Direitos Humanos, entre outras violações graves das liberdades democráticas. Para além disso, o Presidente da República está fora do mandato constitucional de cinco anos.Devíamos ter realizado eleições legislativas e presidenciais, mas não houve eleições após a dissolução inconstitucional da Assembleia Nacional Popular.O Supremo Tribunal de Justiça também está sob ameaça de manipulação para a escolha do novo Presidente. A Comissão Nacional de Eleições encontra-se com a sua direcção caducada há mais de dois anos. Todas estas situações configuram um golpe constitucional liderado por Umaro Sissoco Embaló.As Forças Armadas, que deveriam defender a Constituição, estão, pelo contrário, a apoiar a ditadura de Sissoco Embaló, sufocando a oposição política e os direitos fundamentais do povo guineense.Que impacto têm estas declarações do General Biague Na N'tan no ambiente político e social, a poucos meses de eleições?É paradoxal porque, ao mesmo tempo que apela aos militares para se afastarem da política, ele está constantemente a fazer conferências de imprensa de caráter político, de caráter totalmente político. E o impacto disso é a construção de discursos que silenciem a oposição política legalmente constituída, mas também movimentos sociais e populares que têm lutado pela democracia e pelo resgate do caminho para a democratização na Guiné-Bissau.É também uma forma de condicionar o processo eleitoral que se avizinha porque o poder das armas, associado ao poder político ilegalmente detido neste momento por Umaro Sissoco Embaló, que é como ele mesmo se auto-intitula, o único chefe na Guiné-Bissau, é uma prova de todos os ingredientes à mistura para termos um processo eleitoral não pacífico, com riscos de não ser justo nem transparente, e a Guiné Bissau tero seu processo democrático, a piorar mais do que a destruição que essa democracia frágil enfrenta neste momento. Mais do que a ditadura que está consolidada, é preciso dizer isso de forma muito clara neste momento no nosso país. Nós estamos a falar de um país, infelizmente, com um histórico longo de golpes de Estado. Nunca houve na Guiné-Bissau um golpe de Estado levado a cabo por grupos armados fora das Forças Armadas, e quem tem responsabilidades de controlar as Forças Armadas é o Chefe do Estado-Maior General das Forças Armadas, não políticos da oposição, nem o povo desarmado.Portanto, o Chefe do Estado-Maior General das Forças Armadas deve preocupar-se, sim, com o facto de serem militares que conduziram o processo de invasão ao Supremo Tribunal de Justiça e a instituição de um Presidente à força, à margem da lei, e também com a invasão da Assembleia Nacional Popular, impedindo o funcionamento legal desse órgão, a mando de um poder político. Estas acções deveriam preocupar, sim, o Chefe do Estado-Maior General das Forças Armadas, porque consubstanciam uma actuação das Forças Armadas contrária ao que a Constituição manda.Que papel pode ter a comunidade internacional se continuar a haver sinais de pressão ou violações de direitos civis durante o período eleitoral?Não há um período, na minha perspectiva, em que a comunidade internacional, através da sua intervenção na Guiné-Bissau, tenha manifestado clara complicidade com a destruição de instituições democráticas e a consolidação de um regime absolutamente autoritário. Tivemos o caso da CEDEAO, que não só admitiu Umaro Sissoco Embaló que já tinha comprovado, em dois anos, o seu autoritarismo, como também lhe permitiu presidir à cimeira dos chefes de Estado dessa organização.Mas, neste momento, temos a CPLP, outra instituição internacional da qual a Guiné-Bissau faz parte, a preparar-se para entregar a presidência da sua cimeira a Umaro Sissoco Embaló. Sem aprender com o grave erro cometido pela CEDEAO. Para além destas duas organizações, temos também uma indiferença total das Nações Unidas e da União Africana.Sabemos que, no quadro do entendimento com a organização sub-regional, é delegada a esta organização a responsabilidade de acompanhar os Estados-membros. Mas quando esta organização demonstra a incapacidade de ajudar a resolver problemas de ataque à democracia nesses Estados-membros, a ONU e a União Africana deveriam assumir as suas responsabilidades, e não o estão a fazer.Por que motivo não o estão a fazer?Há muitos interesses envolvidos. Não podemos esquecer que essas organizações têm no seu interior países com relações próximas com a Guiné-Bissau. E eu posso dar exemplos: países com relações históricas mais próximas com a Guiné-Bissau acabam por influenciar a actuação destas instituições internacionais. Um deles é Portugal, que, em termos de relação histórica com a Guiné-Bissau, tem um presidente da República que se mostrou cúmplice com a ditadura, e todos nós acompanhámos essa cumplicidade ao longo dos últimos anos.Outro exemplo é o Senegal que, apesar de ter mudado de poder, o Macky Sall, padrinho de Umaro Sissoco Embaló já não é Presidente da República, não tem tido, no quadro da CEDEAO, uma posição firme a favor da democratização no país vizinho, a Guiné-Bissau. Tanto que o novo Presidente deu sinais de estar aberto a uma relação com o ditador, apesar de o seu próprio poder ter nascido da luta contra uma ditadura no Senegal, nomeadamente quando convidou esse sujeito para participar nas comemorações da independência do Senegal, no passado dia 4 de Abril.Portanto, temos todas estas cumplicidades e todos estes interesses geopolíticos que condicionam o que tem acontecido na Guiné-Bissau. Eu não sou da opinião de que a comunidade internacional seja a principal responsável pelo que tem acontecido no nosso país são os principais responsáveis são os actores políticos internos e, neste momento em particular, o principal responsável é quem está à frente de um regime ditatorial; e esse tem nome: Umaro Sissoco Embaló.

Un racconto appassionato sull'educazione come spazio di crescita e incontro.I migliori tornitori e autoriparatori leggono Shakespeare. Questi ragazzi vengono da Ghana, Costa d'Avorio, Senegal, Marocco, Egitto, Algeria, India, Pakistan, Filippine, Ecuador, Albania, Romania, Italia. Sono qui, in una scuola professionale, per imparare un mestiere. Sono pieni di sogni e di paure e li raccontano nella “pausa letteratura” con la loro prof di Italiano. Sono ore in cui incontrano alcuni personaggi straordinari: Otello, Mercuzio, Achille, Enaiajt, Buck. E a loro scrivono lettere e parlano d'amicizia, d'amore, di tradimenti, di padri, di viaggi, di sconfitte, di lutti e di futuro, di cosa significhi sentirsi stranieri in terra straniera. Sono scene da una classe, un anno di scuola dall'autunno all'estate, fino alla linea d'ombra, da cui comincia un altro viaggio, ricordando che “fuori non è così”, il tempo della scuola finisce ed è il momento di lasciarsi. Ma la vita scorre, è amara e che si alza, riempie ripetente i banchi e, dopo un decennio, torna con volti nuovi che scrivono, pensano, amano il Dorian Gray, seguono l'Innamorato nella sua notte, giudicano il povero Belluca, rimpianti di Sciascia, incontrano Pin nel suo rifugio, un sentiero di nidi di ragno dove stare al riparo dalla realtà, tra le lucciole che rendono sopportabile il buio.Miriam D'Ambrosio è nata a Sora (Fr), ha vissuto a Napoli, Pescara, Roma e in Ciociaria. Da anni risiede a Treviglio (Bg) dove insegna Italiano e Storia in un Centro di Formazione Professionale. Laureata in Lettere alla Sapienza, appena arrivata in Lombardia ha collaborato con alcune testate locali e nazionali occupandosi soprattutto di Teatro. Prima di rimettere mano a Fuori non è così, ha pubblicato Giuda mio padre (Pellegrini 2016), L'uomo di plastica (Epika 2018) e Folisca (Arkadia 2022).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Esta semana, em Moçambique voltou a viver ataques terroristas em Cabo Delgado, enquanto em Sofala, sete viaturas foram atacadas por homens desconhecidos. Em Angola, a queda do preço do petróleo pode impactar o Orçamento de 2025, mas a Sonangol garante o cumprimento das metas de produção. Na Guiné-Bissau, denúncias apontam mortes de pacientes por falta de hemodiálise no Hospital Simão Mendes. Em São Tomé e Príncipe, investigações contra corrupção envolvem oito ministérios. Em Moçambique, as aldeias do distrito de Ancuabe, na província de Cabo Delgado, no norte do país, foram alvo de novos ataques terroristas. Este surge numa altura de crescente violência na região, que coincide com o anúncio da Total sobre o refinanciamento do seu mega projeto no norte do país. Os ataques ocorrem após declarações de Daniel Chapo, que afirmou que os grupos armados estavam em debandada. No entanto, conforme indicado por Abdul Tavares, Coordenador Provincial para Cabo Delgado do Centro Para Democracia e Direitos Humanos, a situação continua preocupante.O ministro do Interior de Moçambique, Paulo Chachine, reconheceu a continuidade dos ataques terroristas em alguns distritos de Cabo Delgado, sinalizando uma preocupação com a segurança na região.Ainda esta semana, em Moçambique, sete viaturas foram atacadas ao longo da estrada nacional número 1, na província de Sofala, no centro do país. Um grupo de homens desconhecidos atacou as viaturas, saqueando bens dos automobilistas e passageiros, incluindo um transporte público. A polícia local, sob comando de Ernesto Madungue, iniciou investigações sobre as motivações do ataque, e garantiu que a circulação foi restabelecida de forma normal, após o controlo da situação.Angola: Impactos da guerra comercialA guerra comercial entre os Estados Unidos e a China tem levado à queda do preço do petróleo no mercado internacional, com o barril do tipo Brent cotado a 60,79 dólares, abaixo da previsão de 70 dólares considerada no Orçamento Geral do Estado de 2025, em Angola. Apesar dessa queda, a Sonangol, empresa estatal de petróleo, assegura que cumprirá as metas de produção estabelecidas pelo governo angolano, com a produção de um milhão e 98 mil barris por dia. No entanto, o presidente da Sonangol, Sebastião Martins, reconhece que os impactos da guerra comercial, especialmente no preço do petróleo, podem afectar as projecções económicas de Angola, exigindo possíveis ajustes no orçamento nacional.Guiné-Bissau: Denúncia sobre mortes por falta de cuidados em hemodiáliseNa Guiné-Bissau, o  presidente da Liga Guineense dos Direitos Humanos, Bubacar Turé, fez uma denúncia ao revelar que todos os pacientes submetidos à hemodiálise no Hospital Simão Mendes faleceram. Embora não tenha fornecido números exactos, a denúncia destaca a falta de condições adequadas para o tratamento. A Liga já tinha alertado o governo sobre a complexidade do tratamento de hemodiálise, apontando a carência de equipamentos adequados e de profissionais qualificados para garantir a segurança dos pacientes.São Tomé e Príncipe: Operação de combate à corrupçãoEm São Tomé e Príncipe, o ministério Público conduziu uma operação denominada SAFE, Sistema de Administração Financeira do Estado, para investigar possíveis crimes de peculato, burla e associação criminosa. O Procurador-Geral da República, Kelve Nobre Carvalho, informou que oito ministérios foram alvo da investigação, com o objectivo de esclarecer eventuais práticas criminosas dentro da administração pública. A operação visa reforçar a luta contra a corrupção no país.Senegal e Angola: Fortalecimento de laços económicosPor fim, em Dacar, Senegal, decorreu o primeiro Fórum Económico entre Senegal e Angola, no âmbito da Zona de Comércio Livre Continental Africana (ZCLCA).

It is among a new generation of African cultural institutions – including the Bet Bi museum in Senegal, by Mariam Kamara, and the Museum of West African Art in Benin City by Adjaye Associates – which in different ways attempts to reimagine both the form and format of the contemporary museum from an African perspective.

With Matt Ehret away, Ghost steps into the Breaking History host seat for a solo Geopolitics deep dive that covers more ground than a Mossad operation. Kicking things off with the eerie timing of “Liberation Day,” Ghost connects the dots between the commuted death sentences of three Americans in the DRC, Mossad's 2019 coup attempts, Dan Gertler's diamond cartel ties, and Yossi Cohen's shady visits with Congo's president. From there, it's a wild journey through Africa's political awakening, touching on M23 rebel negotiations, Russia's push for digital sovereignty, Senegal's rejection of colonial currency, and the historic pardons of Burkina Faso's imprisoned soldiers. Ghost wraps it all in a rich historical context: coups, corruption, child slave labor in the cobalt mines, and the multipolar power struggle playing out across the continent. If you want to understand why Africa matters in the fight against globalism, this one's a must-listen.

Before this role, Khady served as Executive Director of Second Stage Theater, where she was part of the leadership team that won a Tony Award for Take Me Out.   Khady shares her inspiring journey from Senegal to the U.S., where a night at the theater changed her life's trajectory. Though her decision to pursue theater initially caused friction—her mother hung up when she called to share the news—Khady followed her passion and learned invaluable lessons along the way:   Embrace the Pivot: Pursuing your passion can be uncertain, but taking the leap allows you to live without regrets. If needed, you can always pivot later. Embrace Failure: Facing the unknown, like navigating and leading theater during COVID, showed Khady that mistakes are opportunities to learn and improve. Know Your Values: When Khady discovered a report showing a lack of people of color leading regional theaters, she was motivated by her belief in representation and set her sights on becoming a leader in the industry.   Thank you, Khady, for showing us the power of resilience and passion in leadership!

Well, not up their sleeve, per se, but rather inside the pocket of a stolen corpse. Equal parts farce, thriller, and Ian Fleming-style spy caper (with an assist from Mr. Fleming himself), Operation Mincemeat tells the wildly improbable and hilarious true story of the covert operation that turned the tide of WWII.

An imposing State Department operative immediately takes command of the situation and his safety. Though they couldn't be more different, they form an unlikely relationship. But when it becomes clear that they both have secrets, the volunteer is roped into a darker side of public service – one he can't come back from. Unpredictable at every turn, this world-premiere thriller was commissioned by Manhattan Theatre Club. Written by Rajiv Joseph (Pulitzer Prize finalist for Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo; King James at MTC) and directed by May Adrales (Vietgone and Poor Yella Rednecks at MTC).   Have you watched Operation Mincemeat and/or Dakar 2000?

Regional Divisions Are Fraying West Africa's Security Cooperation

In January, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger officially withdrew from the Economic Community of West African States, or ECOWAS, having already established the Alliance of Sahel States, or AES, as an alternative regional grouping. The move has had a multitude of consequences, including ongoing diplomatic spats between the AES states and those that remain committed to ECOWAS, as well as challenges to trade and freedom of movement across the region. But the security implications of the fracturing of ECOWAS as a regional bloc are also important to consider, as West Africa faces an array of challenges that are increasingly affecting what are usually thought of as the region's more stable coastal countries, such as Senegal, Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire. All three of the military-run AES states face long-running jihadist and domestic insurgencies, including armed groups with links to the Islamic State and al-Qaida. Most prominent among them are the Islamic State-Sahel Province and Jamaat Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin, or JNIM, which is affiliated with al-Qaida and is also active in northern Cote d'Ivoire, Benin and Togo. These groups have been active throughout the Sahel for over a decade, typically exploiting local grievances and intercommunal tensions, particularly between farmers and pastoralists as well as against the Peuhl community, which is often portrayed as being sympathetic to the jihadists. The jihadists mobilize these tensions to stoke conflict and recruit among marginalized communities in a broader effort to seize territory and create an Islamic caliphate in the Sahel and West Africa. These groups have targeted civilians and government forces alike, and their attacks have often been tactically sophisticated and significant in impact. In August 2024, for instance, an attack by JNIM in Barsalogho, in northern Burkina Faso, killed around 600 people. And in November 2023, an ambush in Niger's Tillaberi region killed at least 200 soldiers and wounded at least 34 others. Jihadist violence has increased at an accelerating rate in recent years, killing 11,643 people across the Sahel in 2023, a 43 percent increase from the previous year and a threefold increase since 2020, according to the African Centre for Strategic Studies. It has also increasingly spilled over into coastal West African states, with Ghana, Togo, Benin and Cote d'Ivoire all now threatened by these groups as well, albeit to a much lesser extent than the Sahelian states. In Togo, an attack on an army barracks last year killed 12 soldiers, for instance, and JNIM is increasingly fortifying its positions near the borders of Togo and Benin. The problems posed by insecurity are exacerbated by the refugee crisis that violence in the Sahel is causing. By early 2025, nearly 87,000 people had fled their homes in the Sahel into coastal countries. This has put a strain on local communities, especially in Cote d'Ivoire, where nearly 58,000 of the refugees have fled. The rampant insecurity has also fueled political instability, with the three AES states having experienced a combined five coups between 2020 and 2023. The ECOWAS split could exacerbate many of these security challenges, not least because it has created or exacerbated tensions between many countries that have remained in ECOWAS and those that have left. In the past 12-18 months, for instance, Cote d'Ivoire, known as a staunch defender of ECOWAS, and neighboring Burkina Faso have engaged in repeated diplomatic spats linked to mutual fears of destabilization as well as Burkina Faso's rejection of the region's and ECOWAS' historical pro-Western leanings. Gun battles and disputes at the border between Burkinabe and Ivoirian troops have become common, with Ivoirian gendarmes having even been detained in Burkina Faso. Earlier this year Burkina Faso withdrew its diplomatic personnel from Cote d'Ivoire. These disputes have increased instability on the two countries' shared border, exacerbating tensions driven by an inflow of Burk...

Creating a coffee shop that is not only for the community but built with the community is a pretty magical thing. It requires a deft balance between decisiveness, confidence, and openness to collaboration with others to make it truly sing.  Today we are talking with someone who has taken this challenge on and in the process set the tone for what a coffee shop experience can look like in a region that is steeped in tradition and poised for growth in the coffee sector. I am thrilled to talk with Aisha Bullard, Fouder of Original Drip in Dakar, Senegal, as well as the cafe's Art Director Modou (MAD) Diongue! An irresistible sense of wanderlust is how US attorney and Original Drip Founder, Aisha Bullard, first found herself captivated by the beauty of Dakar, Senegal's largest city. After traveling to nearly 40 countries around the globe, her heart fell in love with this bustling metropolis. She relocated her family and life to the area and soon worked remotely from a space she rented in Virage. It wasn't long before Aisha felt compelled to open the space to the public for working and connecting. In her quest to secure the perfect beans, she discovered Rwandan coffee expert Smayah Uwajeneza. Aisha's request for help to materialize her dream was met with this caffeine queen's bubbling excitement. Before they knew it, a plan unfolded to create an inviting setting for socialization while finessing a deeper African bond with this hot beverage. As you can see, even the very origins of Original Drip lie within the enchantment of connection. Passionate about the arts, Mad in Pixel has always shown a talent for creative expression. His artistic journey began when he learned to draw on the walls of his family home. Although he initially took a path towards theological studies, the desire to communicate through visual forms remained a constant companion. By interacting with professionals, he developed a solid expertise in the visual arts and other traditional disciplines, enriched by influences from literature, pop culture, fantasy literature and urban art. The introduction of computer technology in 2004 further broadened the horizons of his creative endeavors. As a self-taught artist, he uses creativity as a bridge to connect and unify communities. He has held positions of responsibility such as art director, illustrator and director in various communications agencies.In 2019, he took a major step forward by setting up his own creative studio, PIXELS SQUAD. Driven by the desire to create and inspire works he relies on collaboration with artists, organizations and brands.
