Podcasts about South Sudan

In this episode, host Eoin Walker is joined by Clare O'Brien, a registered nurse whose career spans more than three decades across the NHS, humanitarian crises, and global health leadership.From intensive care and organ transplantation in the UK to frontline deployments in South Sudan, Myanmar, Sierra Leone, and Ethiopia, Clare shares what it really means to work in extreme, resource-limited environments. She reflects on her experiences responding to cholera outbreaks, Ebola, and neglected diseases like Noma, and the ethical realities of delivering care in conflict zones.This conversation explores leadership under pressure, resilience in crisis, the importance of community-led responses, and why hope can be just as powerful as medicine. Clare also speaks candidly about returning home after deployment, sustaining purpose beyond the frontline, and what aspiring expedition and humanitarian clinicians should consider before stepping into these roles.A thoughtful, grounded discussion on compassion, governance, adaptability, and what global healthcare can teach us about ourselves.A quick update from the podcast teamWe're hitting pause on the podcast for a short while.In the meantime, you can still access a wide range of recorded sessions, talks, and content online — perfect if you're catching up or revisiting past episodes.Thanks for being part of the journey so far.

‘Black rain' alert after oil depot strikes across Middle East: WHO, OHCHRGazans still forced to live hand-to-mouth, warns WFPUN rights chief issues South Sudan ceasefire call amid atrocities

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports on the latest Iran strikes; Israel's leader says his aim is to overthrow the Islamic Republic's ruler; and the U.N plans to stay in a South Sudan region, despite an order to leave.

The benchmark oil price has passed $100 a barrel for the first time since 2022. But Donald Trump says the economic fallout from the US-Israel war with Iran is "a very small price to pay" for world peace. After Iran named a new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, heavy explosions have continued to rock the capital Tehran. The Turkish opposition leader Ekrem Imamoğlu has gone on trial in Istanbul for corruption, in a case he describes as politically motivated. We report from South Sudan, where the world's youngest nation is grappling with instability and fears of a return to civil war. The Ukrainian president Volodomyr Zelensky has said he is sending drone experts to the Middle East this week to help Gulf states under attack from Iran. There is concern about the safety of the Iranian women's football team after they refused to sing their national anthem at the first game of the Asian Cup in Australia. Scientists have discovered an ancient Egyptian equivalent of correction fluid.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

Emanuel Bistrian, Executive Director of Generosity Path, grew up in a small Romanian village under communism, one of twelve children in a faithful Christian family. After immigrating to Chicago with almost nothing, he watched his mother give generously even in scarcity. That witness shaped his ambition, not simply to succeed, but to live on purpose. Over time, as he built businesses in the United States and Romania, God reshaped his view of wealth from something to secure into something to steward with open hands. In this conversation, Emanuel shares how he and his wife chose to give from revenue rather than profit, trusting God through the global financial crisis and seasons of real risk. He describes how local generosity is transforming churches in places like Ethiopia and South Sudan, restoring dignity and fueling gospel work from within communities rather than depending on the West. Through Generosity Path, he now helps leaders around the world discover generosity as surrender, community, and mission. Listen to explore how courageous generosity can restore dignity and strengthen faith in every season. Major Topics Include: Generosity as surrender, not strategy Giving from revenue, not just profit Trusting God through financial risk Integrating faith and entrepreneurship Building generosity into business systems Community as catalyst for generous living Restoring dignity through local generosity Shifting from Western dependence to local ownership QUOTES TO REMEMBER “I realized that God wasn't poor in Romania. We as His people needed to learn generosity.” “If we didn't do something that extreme, we would never give.” “We didn't want to wait to tally up the profits to see if we were profitable enough to give.” “I would rather risk too much than too little when it comes to generosity.” “It's never a thing of how much you have. God can multiply the fish and the loaves.” “We all have everything we need to accomplish what God has called us to.” “Generosity in community is the next logical thing. Why wouldn't you want to give with others?” “Business people can be quite lonely, but community brings the joy back.” “Generosity restores dignity.” “When the Holy Spirit downloads His heart into yours, transformation takes place.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Generosity Path Generous Giving (see our interviews with cofounders Todd Harper and David Wills and CEO, April Chapman) Journey to Generosity (JoG) with Generous Giving Praxis (see our interview with Cofounder Josh Kwan) MacLellan Foundation (see our interview with Director of Generosity, John Cortines) Handful of Rice video Bishop Hannington video TAKE A STEP DEEPER On the Finish Line podcast, we are all about stories, seeing how God draws us into generosity over a lifetime.  But sometimes these stories can leave us thinking, “What's that next step look like for me?” That's exactly why we've launched a whole new podcast called Applied Generosity which explores the full landscape of the generous life across 7 different dimensions of generosity.  Applied Generosity helps make sense of the hundreds of stories we've shared on the Finish Line Podcast to help you find that best next step.

On July 9, 2011, South Sudan officially becomes an independent nation, making it the world's youngest country. For two years there was relative peace and growing prosperity, but in 2013 a civil war broke out creating a massive humanitarian crisis. 13 years later the country is still reeling from ethnic tensions, political maneuvering, civil war over failed promises and now a nation that is considered a fallen state. On this episode of Closer to the Fire, Greg Musselman talks with Stephen Wesley. Stephen is the Director of Global Education and Discipleship for the Voice of the Martyrs Canada and recently went traveled to South Sudan along with two VOM Canada parters to encourage, teach (The Theology of Persecution and Discipleship) and provide trauma counselling to our brothers and sisters in Christ in South Sudan who have endured so much.

Welcome back to Fintech Recap. I'm Alex Johnson, joined as always by my partner in recapping, Jason Mikula. We kick things off with Block's move into credit scoring. Block stitched together data across Cash App and Afterpay into a proprietary score it's now surfacing to consumers and selling to other lenders, claiming auto lenders could approve 30% more borrowers at identical loss rates using the Cash App score. We dig into adverse selection when consumers choose what to share, where this fits in lender workflows, and the FCRA wrinkle that “transactions and experiences” data can fall outside the definition of a consumer report… Then, we dive into stablecoins. Jason walks through the rebirth of “no KYC” crypto-funded spending cards, including testing several of these services himself (tune in to discover the pattern!). The core mechanic Jason flags is a corporate card loophole: KYB the company, then issue incremental “employee” cards with no legal or regulatory requirement to verify the person behind each card. From there, we zoom out to Bridge, Stripe's stablecoin infrastructure subsidiary. Bridge got conditional OCC approval to form a national trust bank and moved jurisdictions (which include Russia, Belarus, Gaza, South Sudan, and Venezuela) from “controlled” to “prohibited,” while still defining “prohibited” with an “extraordinary situations” carveout. Plus, in our Can't Let It Go corner: prediction markets.  CFTC Chair Mike Sig told the Senate during his nomination hearing that he'd defer to the courts on sports betting and prediction markets. But early this year, he reversed course, asserting the CFTC's exclusive jurisdiction and filing amicus briefs against state prohibitions aimed at sports betting. Kalshi and Polymarket loved it, and I'm sure that's unrelated to the fact that Sig's boss's son is an advisor to both. We close with Substack's new partnership with Polymarket to embed prediction markets into journalism, set against a real-world example of the incentive problem: Israeli authorities investigated and arrested military reservists and a civilian for allegedly using classified information to place bets on Polymarket.

Last October, the war in Sudan took a new turn with the capture of El Fasher by the Rapid Support Forces. The city in western Sudan had been under siege by the RSF for more than two years before the Sudanese armed forces suddenly withdrew. After taking control of El Fasher, the RSF began to carry out a massacre of civilians. A UN fact-finding mission recently found that the crimes in El Fasher bore “hallmarks of genocide.” The Sudanese catastrophe is all the more depressing because it comes after a brief moment of greater political openness and optimism after the ousting of a dictator in 2019. Joshua Craze joins Long Reads to discuss the evolution of the conflict in Sudan and its likely future. Joshua has written many articles about the politics of Sudan and South Sudan for publications such as the New Statesman, the New York Review of Books, and Jacobin.

On this episode, Aaron and Derek cover 2020's supernatural folk horror film "His House" written and directed by Remi Weekes. They talk about why movies like this are so important in understanding world views that are not often represented in media, and they get into how the flawed nature of the characters Rial and Bol is well written. They also discuss the context of the South Sudan's history of conflict, the effectiveness of supernatural horror mixed in with trauma and social commentary, why this is movie is more important now than ever, and many other aspects of the flick.

Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court have begun setting out their case against the former president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, who is accused of crimes against humanity over his bloody ‘war on drugs'. Hearings in The Hague will decide whether there is enough evidence to move to a full trial. Also: aid agencies in South Sudan say intensified fighting between government and opposition forces has displaced hundreds of thousands of people; Australia's prime minister Anthony Albanese tells Britain his country would support any move to remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, King Charles's brother, from the line of royal succession; the boss of Netflix tells the BBC its bid for Warner Bros Discovery is stronger than a rival offer from Paramount; as the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine approaches, President Volodymyr Zelensky's chief of staff says another round of talks aimed at ending the war could take place by the end of the week; a racial slur shouted by Tourette's campaigner John Davidson during the BAFTA Film Awards sparks debate about how the condition should be understood; and scientists reveal a new species of dinosaur discovered in the Sahara desert.

I listened to this beautiful excerpt of Nadeng singing to her child and the sonic presence of children and a baby. I grew increasingly attached to their voices and carefully traced their audible responses to each other. I read about the context of this recording – mother to child, mother to children, singing in South Sudan. The wars that have afflicted this place. The civil war that had recently ended, and the war that would commence soon after Nadeng sang in this recording. The traditional instruments and songs of the area and the people. I chose to use the field recording unadorned, foregrounding Nadeng's singing - so her voice, the children, the baby and the incidental sounds, all lead the new music composition and sound art here, as I recast the lullaby into a song cycle, and in which contemporary instruments respond to all the sonic elements within the archive field recording. The woodwinds are in a dialogue with the voices from the archive recording, the percussion and bass supporting each voice (instrumental and vocal) – in a resulting song-in-cycles. In which two lullabies emerge, one instrumental, one vocal, weaving around each other, across time and across continents.Credits:Lullaby song - Nadeng Soundart and instrumental music composition – Elissa GoodrichSampled musicians:Phil Bywater – saxophoneGideon Brazil – fluteMiranda Hill and Tamara Murphy – double bassElissa Goodrich - vibraphone and percussionLullaby sung by Nadeng to her baby reimagined by Elissa Goodrich.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

With a project like this, I knew the work had to begin with research. I immersed myself in the cultural textures of South Sudan: its music, its landscapes, its people. From photographs and descriptions, a sense of place started to form. I wanted the first section of the piece to feel intimate yet quietly observant. I found myself picturing the Laarim man and his beloved bull, Logralim, moving together across the land, carrying out the rhythms of an ordinary day. From that image, the music slowly surfaced. I knew the original field recording needed to remain whole, a living thread, so I kept it centred in the mix. The second part of the piece reached outward, toward the stars. I imagined him looking up at the constellation Taurus, the stars echoing something ancient and vast. Those visualisations, both earthly and celestial, became the internal score from which this composition unfolded."Chuluth": a song for a favourite bull reimagined by Eulipion Corps.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

The sound that I was allocated for this track was described as a Zande drinking song, from a collection of wax cylinder recordings of Zande songs, dances and spoken language made by social anthropologist Edward Evans-Pritchard in South Sudan between 1928 and 1930. I spent some time thinking about the collection of songs that was taking place across the world from the end of the 19th Century right up to that time, and wondered what kind of 'drinking song' might have been collected right here, where I am in the North York Moors National Park. I listened to lots of source recordings of English drinking songs from the EFDSS Full English digital archive, but I was drawn back to the Mummers play that we perform in Whitby every year, and the character of the Doctor, who has a little bottle in his inside-outside-jacket-pocket. It's a little Nip Nap, and it's most effective if you let it run down your tip tap. It will cure all ills, and do you good. When I was listening to the recording, I was struck by the rhythmic drive of the cylinder, inserting itself into the song, unbidden. That set the tempo, and the composition came into being. Drinking songs are sung the world over. We have more in common that could ever set us apart. For me, the union of cultures through music is a shoot of hope in a world of division. Something to raise a glass to at the very least!Zande drinking song reimagined by Rebecca Denniff.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

Noriya is a men's generational song celebrating and praising Ngitamo, the guinea fowl. The original recording of the Larim people in South Sudan in 1979 was from a time of relative peace, with the Ngitamo generation existing alongside the Nyoletiang (gazelles) and Nyitulabok (sheep). The melody, compound rhythm and tempo reflect this balance and resonate as song of celebration and joy, even one to dance to – a port-cruinn perhaps? Port-cruinn (pr. porsht-crooeen) is Scottish Gaelic for "jig" and is intended to sit alongside the joyful Noriya. The main jig melody draws on the Noriya theme, flipping from minor to major, and is carried by an underlying drone. The generational nature of Noriya is reflected in the instruments played. There are two Scottish fiddles from two different generations. The main jig melody is played on “The Annmarie”, a fiddle made by James Dooley in Glasgow in 1987 (named after his daughter who passed away very young). The secondary melody is played on a Dundee fiddle, made in 1918 by James Cochrane. The two fiddles also carry the drone with mandolin and guitar layered to emphasise the rhythm and tempo of the original recording. Men's generation song from South Sudan reimagined by Moray Newlands.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

Mary Gitau, a psychologist and suicide prevention specialist based in Nairobi, shares how she's bringing TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises) to communities across Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, and South Sudan affected by conflict and war. She discusses her personal healing breakthrough with TRE and how body-based approaches can reach populations where traditional talk therapy cannot—particularly in cultures where men don't openly discuss emotions. This conversation explores the intersection of TRE with Somatic Experiencing, bioenergetics, and EMDR, the critical importance of cultural adaptation, and both the opportunities and challenges of making trauma healing accessible across diverse communities.In this episode, Mary shares stories of working with Somali and Sudanese men who experienced profound healing through the tremor mechanism, her journey integrating multiple somatic modalities, and practical wisdom on contextualizing TRE for different cultural settings. She also addresses the challenges of people misusing TRE through online videos and her vision for making trauma healing accessible through free group classes at her organization, the Center for Suicide Research and Intervention (CSRI).Listen to the full episode to hear Mary's inspiring journey bringing body-based trauma healing to East African communities.Links & Resources MentionedCenter for Suicide Research and Intervention (CSRI) https://csricentre.org/ Episode Timestamps00:01 - TRE Training in Kenya with Dr. Berceli 00:04 - Childhood Trauma and Becoming a Psychologist 00:06 - Why Talk Therapy Wasn't Enough for Trauma Clients 00:09 - From Bioenergetics to Trauma Releasing Exercises 00:12 - Personal Breakthrough: Releasing Pelvic Trauma Through TRE 00:18 - First TRE Session with Somali Refugees in Nairobi 00:22 - Working with Men Who Don't Talk About Emotions 00:28 - Integrating Somatic Experiencing and TRE in Practice 00:35 - Cultural Adaptation: Avoiding Exorcism Misconceptions 00:40 - Dangers of Self-Guided TRE from Online Videos 00:45 - Making Trauma Healing Accessible and Affordable 00:47 - Teaching Children and Families TRE at Home 00:48 - Bringing TRE to Conflict Zones in East Africa

1. Claims about U.S. immigration and corruption The U.S. has historically admitted immigrants from countries labeled as “highly corrupt” by Transparency International. Examples mentioned include South Sudan, Somalia, Venezuela, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan, among others. Vetting immigrants from these countries is “nearly impossible” due to poor record‑keeping, bribery, and document fraud. 2. Reference to Trump administration policies Donald Trump previously restricted immigration from certain nations via executive orders. These restrictions were due to corruption concerns and an inability to verify documents from those regions. 3. Criticism of the Biden administration The Biden administration continued issuing visas to individuals from these “corrupt” nations, citing specific visa numbers (e.g., Venezuelan admissions). Allowing potentially unvetted migrants into the U.S. 4. Concerns about fraudulent documents Applicants in corrupt nations can obtain fake documents—birth certificates, police records, passports, diplomas—via bribes. This is presented as a major risk to U.S. vetting systems. 5. Political commentary on Democratic leaders Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Gavin Newsom are criticized for acknowledging migration problems while also condemning Trump’s approach. Democrats are both: admitting migration has become “destabilizing” and simultaneously criticizing U.S. border enforcement agencies. 6. Claims of “chaos” caused by Democratic policies The narrative argues that Democrats created disorder at the border and in U.S. cities. The author asserts Trump is “cleaning up the mess” and that this angers political opponents. 7. Accusations of unfair comparisons to authoritarian regimes Democrats comparing U.S. immigration enforcement agencies to authoritarian “secret police” or Nazi‑like forces.

Justin's guest for today is Julian Fisher, a former British intelligence operative espionage specialist and author of Think Like A Spy. Following a stint in government service, Julian headed up Africa operations for a private military company and then founded his own intelligence boutique specializing in Africa. In 2017, he was the lead trainer on the Channel Four reality series Spies, which put 16 ordinary members of the public through a series of challenges to find out if they had what it takes to be a spy. Julian has led an unusual life in his time. He's seen off camel wrestlers in Somalia, faced down gun toting soldiers in Congo, trained a newly formed intelligence service in South Sudan, and been invited to help plot a coup in West Africa, which he declined. Julian can show you how to take the hard lessons learned over centuries of international espionage and use those same strategies to accomplish your goals in almost any environment or context.

For the past year and a half, South Sudan has been on the brink of a new civil war. A 2018 peace deal that ended the last civil war has been faltering, while the war across the border in Sudan has threatened to spill south. According to my interview guest, Daniel Akech of the International Crisis Group, the tipping point has been breached. We are now in the early stages of a new civil war in South Sudan—one that may prove even more destructive than the 2013–2018 conflict, which left an estimated 400,000 people dead. There are a number of reasons for this—not least the civil war in Sudan, which has decimated oil revenues that long underpinned South Sudan's political economy. And, as in the first civil war, ethnic tensions are being deliberately stoked, raising the prospect of mass atrocities. We kick off by discussing recent events on the ground in South Sudan, including an offensive by opposition forces sparked by the arrest and prosecution of Riek Machar, a former vice president who led one side of the previous civil war. We then explore the potential trajectory of this conflict, how it is intimately tied to the war in Sudan, and the role of key regional actors. South Sudan is a new country, having gained independence from Sudan in 2011—but just two years later, civil war erupted, killing hundreds of thousands, displacing millions, and destroying infrastructure across the country. This new outbreak of violence may lead to something just as bad— or worse — but has received little attention in the Western press.
