James Tooley describes two decades researching “low-cost private schools” serving poor families in India, Africa, rural China, and war-torn countries, arguing parents choose them because government/public schools often abandon children. He cites widespread enrollment (e.g., majorities in parts of Lagos and Kampala), higher standardized test performance, no gender bias, affordability around 10% of family spending, and sustainability as small businesses. He now finds a similar U.S. phenomenon in hybrid/micro schools, visiting examples in Pine Ridge (Onward Learning), rural Mississippi, refugee-serving Clarkston, and rural Oregon, and surveying 5,390 parents: about 4% use low-tuition private schools. He discusses limited, careful roles for philanthropy, and worries about dependence on government ESAs.00:00 Meet James Tooley01:03 Hyderabad Discovery03:25 Government School Reality05:37 Makoko Lagos Expedition07:49 Kibera Ghana China Proof11:49 Beautiful Tree Thesis13:04 War Torn Africa Schools15:48 Five Key Features21:06 Federations And Pushback22:02 Low Cost Schools In America25:53 Pine Ridge Onward Learning29:46 Mississippi Trailer School33:19 Refugees And Oregon Example36:08 National Survey Findings41:45 Philanthropy And Donations43:26 Quality Assurance Debate46:33 School Choice ESA Concerns49:57 Where To Follow James50:46 Final ReflectionsThe Beautiful Tree: https://a.co/d/032zFHgWReally Good Schools: Global Lessons for High-Caliber, Low-Cost Education: https://a.co/d/01VMoY3rhttps://x.com/james_tooleyhttps://uk.linkedin.com/in/james-tooley-320a8410=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 30th of August, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Gospel of Mark 8:36. Jesus says: “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” Then we go to the Book of Romans 14:17: “for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” Life is just so much more than eating and drinking. Years ago, we took a 20-ton Mercedes-Benz truck, we called it The Seed Sower. We took that truck from Cape Town as far as Kampala, Uganda, over a number of years, spending most of our time in the rural areas where there are very poor people, people who don't have much clothing to wear, people who don't have a lot of food to eat. We filled up that truck with food, clothes and Bibles. Now, this is very interesting because when we got there, we would take a big open area, advertise properly, and the crowds would come, because there was nothing else to do when you are in a rural area where no one goes. They would come in their numbers, I am talking about thousands. Some of these little children were dressed almost in rags and you could see that they were very hungry, and the women and the men had very sparse clothes. Their clothes were old and tattered. We would bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We had a platform that came down the side of that truck and with my good friend, Peter Motale, as my interpreter, we would preach the undiluted, simple Gospel. We would make the altar call and the whole crowd would come to the front every single time. Now these people, were not interested in the food. They were not interested in the clothes. They wanted the word of God, the Bible. Now how did they know that? These were uneducated people. They knew because of the Spirit of God in them. There was a hunger for the truth, so much more than eating and drinking. I saw it with my own eyes. Sometimes they were concerned they might lose out and wouldn't get a Bible. They ended up having fisticuffs, now that is the honest truth, because they wanted a Bible. The one time, I thought that they were going to turn this massive truck that was 18 metres long, that they were going to turn it over. They were scuffling so much. I got my young nephew, who was with me, to take a box of Bibles on his head and move away from the truck and distribute the Bibles there. Well, I just saw a cloud of dust and then I never saw my nephew again for a while until he came out, but the Bibles were given out!Today, remember this life is so much more than eating and drinking. It is about life eternal. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

Sometimes following God means saying yes before you understand where He is leading.In this inspiring conversation on Road to Redemption, John Martin sits down with Mark Mbayo, a Ugandan entrepreneur, ministry leader, and co-founder of Bold Creators, to share a story of faith, obedience, surrender, and purpose.Mark grew up in a small fishing village in Kampala, Uganda. Through a sponsorship program, he was able to attend school from kindergarten through medical school, eventually earning a degree in medical laboratory technology.As Mark began working in healthcare, he saw firsthand how difficult it was for people in rural communities to access quality medical care. Combining his medical background with a lifelong passion for business, he helped establish clinics that could sustainably serve people with very limited incomes.His diligence eventually took him from working as a lab assistant to becoming an assistant to the medical director.Then God asked him to surrender it.At the height of his career, Mark felt God calling him to resign from his job—even though it was his primary source of income and he was preparing to get married.It didn't make sense.But Mark chose obedience.Then came an even harder surrender. Mark believed God was asking him to give up his financial interest in the clinics he had helped establish.Again, he said yes.Those seasons taught Mark an important lesson:Sometimes God asks us to release what He has given us so we can discover what He ultimately created us to do.That journey eventually connected Mark with Ben Clark and helped lead to the creation of Bold Creators, a community focused on helping Christian entrepreneurs grow in faith, business, family, and community.Through mentorship and biblical principles for business, Bold Creators connects American and Ugandan entrepreneurs and encourages business owners to think beyond personal profit.The goal is redemptive entrepreneurship—building businesses that create jobs, strengthen families, support ministries, and transform communities.Mark shares that the program has already worked with 127 people and helped create more than 100 jobs through its network.But underneath everything Mark has accomplished is a much simpler message:Don't leave God when life gets difficult.Hard seasons don't necessarily mean God has forgotten you.Sometimes they are preparing you for what comes next.Mark encourages listeners to:Stay anchored in God when circumstances don't make sense.Be willing to surrender what God asks you to release.Trust that no situation is too difficult for Him.Build businesses and careers that serve others.Use your gifts to strengthen your community.And remember that your past does not put you beyond God's love or forgiveness.You may not understand what God is asking you to surrender today.But your obedience could be preparing the way for a purpose greater than anything you originally planned.What might God be asking you to trust Him with today?Connect with Mark Mbayo & Bold Creators:

TABLE OF CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-19-2026Rebecca Grant, Vice President of the Lexington Institute, discusses technological advancements on the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford. She details the transition from traditional steam-powered catapults to modern electromagnetic aircraft launch systems (EMALS), which offer superior, adjustable torque to launch both lightweight drones and heavily armed fighter jets. Additionally, Grant highlights the ship's new electromagnetic advanced weapons elevators, which double the capacity of older Nimitz-class systems and move much faster to significantly improve sortie generation rates. However, a White House executive order directing a study to reconsider steam systems threatens to disrupt these advancements. Grant warns that backtracking to older technology on carriers currently in construction, like the CVN-81, could delay delivery by up to seven years, creating dangerous operational gaps as Chinese naval threats rise in the Pacific. (1)Rick Fisher of the International Assessment and Strategy Center analyzes China's advancement in space and its competition with the United States. Fisher discusses China's Gandai constellation, a space debris monitoring satellite system controlled by the People's Liberation Army (PLA), which tracked a SpaceX Falcon 9 booster crashing near the moon's Einstein crater from over 380,000 kilometers away. He warns that this constellation can perform dual-use military targeting for space combat and missile defense. Fisher criticizes China's lack of transparency, noting its refusal to give advance notice for earthbound ICBM tests and its intention to let expendable propulsion stages crash into the lunar surface. Finally, he highlights the rapid progress of China's LandSpace with its liquid-fueled, methane-oxygen-powered reusable Zhuque-3 rocket, predicting that ten Chinese companies will offer cheap reusable launch services within five years and directly undercut Western competitors. (2)Greg Scarlatoiu, President and CEO of the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, analyzes the multifaceted security threats posed by Pyongyang. Scarlatoiu describes North Korea as a post-communist, dynastic kleptocracy and a crime family masquerading as a nation-state. Under Kim Jong-un, the regime has consolidated its intelligence and police agencies while streamlining its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Scarlatoiu explains that North Korea's war economy exploits its people's human rights and security to fund weapons, which it now exports globally to Russia and Iran. The discussion, co-hosted by Gordon Chang, highlights active military provocations along the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), including recent boundary crossings. Finally, Scarlatoiu and Chang evaluate how controversial remarks by the Trump administration praising Kim Jong-un have strained trust in extended deterrence and undermined relationships within the vital US-South Korea alliance. (3)Craig Unger, investigative reporter and author, explores President Donald Trump's unstable foreign policy toward Russia and Ukraine. Unger contends that Trump behaves as a Russian appeaser whose real estate-linked advisers take marching orders from Vladimir Putin. The discussion highlights how Ukrainian-manufactured drones have successfully targeted Russian oil refineries, causing severe fuel shortages and long gas lines across Russia. While these military successes initially impressed Trump, leading him to publicly promise Patriot missiles and production technology to President Zelenskyy, Unger reveals that Trump subsequently withheld this critical support. Unger cautions that as Putin faces an existential crisis and potential military defeat, he may launch a limited incursion into Baltic states like Estonia or Poland. This would trigger NATO's Article 5, which Unger warns Trump would likely refuse to honor, thereby destroying the Western alliance. (4)Caleb Weiss of the Bridgeway Foundation and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies examines the evolution of African jihadist movements. Weiss details the case of Jamal Chima, a Ugandan Guantanamo Bay alumnus who transitioned from Al-Qaeda to recruiting for the Islamic State Central African Province (ISCAP) in Kampala. Weiss explains that East African court systems frequently experience "catch and release" cycles due to strict evidentiary demands for terrorism cases. The segment also addresses the kidnapping of missionary Kevin Rideout by the Islamic State Sahel Province. Weiss describes how these groups raise funds through lucrative ransoms, utilizing regional coordination hubs like the Al-Furqan and Al-Karrar offices to move capital globally to active cells in regions like Afghanistan. Finally, he notes that eastern Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar has leveraged anti-jihadist operations to secure Western backing. (5)Michael Bernstam of the Hoover Institution warns of a severe global crisis in refined petroleum products, especially diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel. Bernstam explains that the "crack spread"—the cost differential between crude oil and refined diesel—has reached an unprecedented historical peak of over $102 per barrel. This crisis stems from a fifty-year systemic failure, during which no major new refineries were built in the United States or Europe. Compounding this, sophisticated Ukrainian drone strikes have successfully knocked out 40% of Russia's refining capacity, forcing the major oil exporter to ban refined product exports and become an importer. Additionally, China has halted refined exports to meet its domestic demand. Bernstam warns that the resulting global diesel shortage directly threatens agricultural planting, harvesting, and regional food security, particularly for developing nations as winter approaches. (6)Peter Huessy of the Gold Institute for International Strategy critiques the Hollywood film House of Dynamite for its inaccurate depiction of US nuclear command and control. Huessy argues that the movie relies on flawed premises, such as the sudden, unexplained failure of Defense Support Program (DSP) tracking satellites and the total failure of US missile defense interceptors, to fabricate a helpless crisis scenario. He highlights that actual US missile defenses achieve 75% to 85% success in tests and up to 98% in combat scenarios like Israel's missile defense systems. Huessy strongly refutes the film's negative portrayal of military leadership as reckless warmongers and its central message that nuclear deterrence is ineffective. He asserts that the nuclear triad has successfully and perfectly preserved global peace for eighty years, keeping the country safe. (7)Simon Constable, writer for the Wall Street Journal, discusses European climate anomalies and their severe impact on global commodities. Speaking from the south of France, Constable reports temperatures reaching 35 degrees Celsius, contributing to low water levels in the Danube, Rhine, and Po rivers. These climate constraints, alongside maritime blockades of Ukrainian ports, have driven up prices for energy, wheat, and coffee. Turning to UK politics, Constable criticizes Prime Minister Keir Starmer for failing to spur house-building and notes that regional politicians like Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham lack an international profile. Finally, he reviews a longevity quiz from the Wall Street Journal, which highlights that the wealthiest Americans live fourteen years longer than the poorest. He notes that Japan leads the world in centenarians, emphasizing that geographic location and financial wealth are pivotal factors in determining an individual's healthy lifespan. (8)Andrea Stricker of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies examines Middle Eastern nuclear proliferation and the mystery surrounding legacy materials. Stricker details a positive, US-brokered development in which the post-AssadSyrian government agreed to cooperate and turn over legacy yellowcake uranium stored at a covert facility known as Site 99. This material was intended for a North Korean-built plutonium-producing reactor at Al-Kibar, which was destroyed by Israel in 2007. Despite long-standing Syrian secrecy and the site changing hands among various factions, environmental sampling by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed undeclared, man-made uranium particles at multiple locations. Stricker also raises concerns regarding Turkey's nuclear ambitions, highlighting its civilian programs' potential military purposes and Turkey's recent attempt to secure raw uranium contracts with the military regime in Niger. (9)Joel Kotkin, senior research fellow at the Civitas Institute at the University of Texas at Austin, examines California's economic and demographic challenges. Kotkin notes that California is on the verge of losing its population lead as middle-class families vote with their feet and move to states like Texas. He attributes this out-migration to exorbitant housing costs, a severe shortage of upwardly mobile middle-class jobs, and high electricity prices that hamper manufacturing and modern technology sectors like artificial intelligence. Furthermore, Kotkin highlights systemic social issues, including high teen unemployment, rising store break-ins, and a deteriorating public education system. These factors have depleted the state's middle class, leaving the tax base heavily dependent on a wealthy top one percent who can easily relocate to lower-tax states like Florida. Kotkin warns that this loss of middle-class families threatens California's future tax base and demographic vitality. (10)Corrections applied, several pending your confirmation: Bridgeway Foundation (transcribed as "Ridgeway," segment 5 — Weiss's actual affiliation), Al-Furqan and Al-Karrar offices (transcribed as "Al-Furkan and Al-Karr" — the standard renderings of the ISIS regional offices), LandSpace and Zhuque-3 (transcribed as "Land Space Corporation" and "Juk 3" — the Chinese firm and its rocket), Zelenskyy per house style, and "yellow cake" → yellowcake. One flag: "Gandaiconstellation" (segment 2) — I couldn't verify that name; the audio may be rendering a Chinese program name roughly, worth checking with the transcript or Fisher's notes. In segment 8, note the source describes Keir Starmer as PM and Andy Burnham as Manchester Mayor — this contradicts the recent batches where Burnham is PM. I've left it as the source has it since it's Constable's segment, but flag it if the summary tool garbled the timeline.R

Rick Morton sits down with Pastor Rafael Kajjubi of King Jesus Church in Busega, Uganda, a longtime friend and ministry partner of Lifeline Children's Services. Rafael shares his story of growing up in the aftermath of civil war and the AIDS crisis, his early exposure to the prosperity gospel, and the years of searching, from Dubai to London to the United States, that led him back home with a conviction to build something real.That conviction took root in Busega, a forgotten community on the edge of Kampala, where Rafael and King Jesus Church began reaching children who were deaf and had been cast aside by their families and culture. What started as a school for four children grew into a thriving church and community, built through an unlikely partnership with Lifeline's founder, Herbie Newell, who asked Rafael one simple question that changed everything.This conversation is a picture of what it looks like when a local church and an outside partner walk together with humility, patience, and a shared commitment to the gospel.Learn more about Lifeline Children's Services at lifelinechild.org.

Toute cette semaine Aujourd'hui l'économie vous propose de partir à la rencontre des diasporas commerçantes. Mardi 11 août, on vous raconte l'histoire d'une communauté discrète mais essentielle à l'économie ougandaise : les Indo-Ougandais. Leur population est aujourd'hui estimée à environ 35 000 personnes. « Vous venez d'Ouganda ? » demande un interlocuteur surpris. « Oui. Ma famille a été expulsée en 1972. Ils sont devenus des réfugiés à Londres et après la chute d'Idi Amin Dada, ils sont revenus en Ouganda », explique celui qui est devenu l'un des visages politiques les plus connus des États-Unis. Mais avant de devenir maire de New York, Zohran Mamdani a connu Kampala, où il est né. Son père, Mahmood Mamdani, est une figure locale de la diaspora indienne du pays. C'est au XIXe siècle qu'une importante communauté indienne s'est installée sur les terres de ce qui allait devenir l'Ouganda. Une installation liée aux perspectives de contrat de travail proposées par le colonisateur britannique. Beaucoup d'immigrés indiens sont alors à la recherche d'un meilleur avenir, comme le rappelle l'historien Gérard Prunier. « Une plaisanterie anglaise est de dire : "l'Afrique de l'Est, c'est l'Amérique de l'Indien", c'est-à-dire ils viennent là comme les Italiens vont en Argentine. » La réussite économique de la communauté suscite jalousie Ces nouveaux arrivants vont s'installer dans des villes, mais aussi et surtout dans les campagnes parfois reculées, ouvrant de petits commerces. Une communauté, les « Dukawalla », qui va créer un véritable tissu économique. La diaspora s'organise aussi autour de grandes familles, comme l'explique la chercheuse Sandrine Perrot du Centre international de recherches de Sciences Po. « Les grandes familles qui ont construit aussi toute l'agriculture d'exportation autour, notamment avec des grosses exploitations. On parle vraiment de familles installées depuis très longtemps. » Et cette réussite économique dont parle Sandrine Perrot ne va pas sans susciter de jalousie avec, dans les années 1940-1950, les premières manifestations et boycotts de magasins indiens. Les manifestants dénoncent leur suprématie économique. Mais le point de rupture intervient des années plus tard en 1972, l'expulsion de toutes les populations asiatiques d'Ouganda est ordonnée par Idi Amin Dada, qui a pris le pouvoir par la force. Dans un extrait de ses discours, il dit : « C'est vrai, ils sont restés à l'écart, au sein d'une communauté fermée. Ils ont bridé l'économie du pays. » « La diaspora indienne présente en Ouganda contribuerait à 60 % du PNB » En l'espace de trois mois, l'Ouganda perd de très nombreux commerçants, des membres de l'administration publique, de l'industrie. L'économie ougandaise plonge dans la crise, désormais déconnectée de tous ses réseaux d'import-export que la diaspora avait tissés. Il faudra attendre 1986 pour que Yoweri Museveni, prenant les rênes de l'Ouganda, incite ses communautés à revenir au pays. Un retour s'opère petit à petit via un système de compensation. Depuis, Yoweri Museveni s'est appuyé sur cette diaspora qui a continué d'avoir un poids essentiel dans l'économie ougandaise, comme l'explique la chercheuse Sandrine Perrot. « La diaspora indienne présente en Ouganda contribuerait à 60 % du PNB. On a encore des figures de millionnaires, multimillionnaires et qui sont très proches des premiers cercles du pouvoir et qui ont bâti vraiment des empires. » Reste aujourd'hui la question de la reconnaissance officielle. Pour être citoyens ougandais, il faut appartenir à l'une des ethnies dites indigènes inscrites dans la Constitution. Au Kenya, les Kényans d'origine asiatique ont obtenu en 2017 la reconnaissance officielle de leur statut de 44ᵉ tribu du pays.

The BBC's Diplomatic Correspondent, Paul Adams, has been given rare access to a Ukrainian naval ship and a visit to one of the main ports in the Black Sea. He reports on the naval battle taking place at sea, as Russian attacks on Ukrainian vessels are increasing.Also: a warm welcome in Bangkok for the Myanmar military ruler seen elsewhere as an international pariah. David Owori, the captain of one of Uganda's biggest football teams has died after being attacked near his home in the capital, Kampala. As wildfires continue to rage, a new study highlights how they can cause migraine headaches. A US Senate committee has voted to hold the former top health official Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he refused to answer questions during a hearing on the Covid-19 pandemic. Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi leads commemorations in Hiroshima on the 81st anniversary of the world's first use of nuclear weapons. Indonesia resumes the export of long-tailed macaques for use in laboratory experiments after a four year pause. Disney characters could become official TikTok stars after what's been called a “first of its kind” deal between the Hollywood studio and the video platform. And a 97-year-old woman in the UK has broken the Guinness World Record for being the oldest female wing walker.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

La controverse règne vendredi matin à Dakar à mesure que se précisent les contours de la visite de Macky Sall. Un retour éclair ce vendredi, le temps d'une audience au Palais avec son successeur Bassirou Diomaye Faye, dans le cadre de sa candidature au poste de secrétaire général des Nations unies. C'est le malaise qui s'installe dans la presse sénégalaise. La formule de Senenews dit tout : une visite, écrit le site, « finalement contestée ». Contestée, d'abord, par ceux qui n'ont rien oublié des années 2021 à 2024. Les collectifs de victimes de la répression politique sont montés au créneau. Sur Africanews, Boubacar Sèye, président de l'Association des familles des martyrs, pose le décor : « Il s'agit du retour d'un homme dont le passage à la tête de l'État reste associé à l'une des périodes les plus douloureuses de notre histoire récente. Des dizaines de personnes ont perdu la vie. » Le site Senego, lui, met les chiffres sur la douleur, plus de 65 morts, plus de 1 600 arrestations, et tranche : « Un tel bilan disqualifie Macky Sall pour promouvoir la paix, la démocratie et les droits humains. » Pour le camp de l'ancien président, une question de stature  Dans Dakaractu, l'Alliance pour la République (APR) salue « la hauteur républicaine » du chef de l'État : la candidature de Macky Sall, plaide le parti, « engage le prestige du Sénégal et la place de l'Afrique dans la gouvernance mondiale ». Le gouvernement, lui, joue le droit. Le ministre des Forces armées Yankhoba Diémé le rappelle sèchement : « Macky Sall ne fait l'objet d'aucune poursuite, encore moins d'aucune condamnation. Il est citoyen de ce pays, il a le droit d'entrer et de sortir du territoire ». Et même Aminata Touré, figure de la majorité, refuse la surenchère sur la TFM : « Je suis contre l'impunité », dit Mimi Touré, « mais à ce que je sache, Macky Sall ne fait l'objet d'aucune poursuite ». Et c'est là qu'affleure le vrai malaise, celui qui vise aussi le pouvoir en place. Car derrière Macky Sall, les victimes visent un silence : celui de la justice. Elles dénoncent, dans Senego, qu'« aucune enquête, aucune poursuite n'a eu lieu », et pointent la loi d'amnistie de mars 2024, toujours pas abrogée. L'activiste Aliou Sané dénonce crûment comment l'on déroule « le tapis rouge du palais à Macky, alors qu'aucune lumière n'est faite sur les morts ». La controverse, ce matin, renvoie donc dos à dos le Sénégal d'hier et celui d'aujourd'hui. En RDC, lutte contre le virus d'Ebola et lutte contre la violence des hommes Avec cette attaque à Nyakunde, en Ituri, à 45 km de Bunia. Des circonstances qui restent à éclaircir… Des tirs vers un centre de traitement Ebola, des patients en fuite. Pour l'activiste Christophe Munyanderu, cité dans la presse allemande Deutsche Welle, le danger est immense : « nous interpellons les autorités en urgence pour que les soignants regagnent Nyakunde ». Et ce n'est pas la première fois que ce site est frappé. En 2002, l'hôpital de Nyakunde avait été le théâtre de l'un des pires massacres du conflit Ituri. Une attaque qui tombe au pire moment, car les chiffres, eux, s'affolent 2 000 cas et 800 morts. Ce jeudi à Genève, le patron de l'OMS a sonné l'alarme. Repris par Africa Radio, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus est formel : « Il s'agit désormais de la troisième plus importante épidémie d'Ebola jamais enregistrée. Elle s'est propagée plus rapidement que toutes les précédentes. » Alors, dans ce tableau sombre, il faut regarder de l'autre côté de la frontière, où une lueur s'allume. En Ouganda, on ose presque parler de victoire. Africa Radio rapporte la scène de ce jeudi à Kampala : le dernier patient hospitalisé est sorti, guéri. Le ministre de la Santé Chris Baryomunsi savoure prudemment : « nous devons désormais compter 42 jours sans nouveau cas pour confirmer que nous avons vaincu Ebola ». Une conseillère santé de l'ambassade de France à Nairobi, citée par Africa Radio, salue un modèle : l'Ouganda « est très rigoureux, c'est un exemple que l'épidémie peut vraiment être contrôlée ».

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

« L'Afrique signe un premier tour historique », se réjouit Aujourd'hui au Faso. Sur dix sélections engagées, neuf poursuivent l'aventure… « Si l'élargissement du tournoi à 48 équipes a offert davantage d'opportunités, les nations africaines ont surtout su les saisir », poursuit le quotidien.   « Si aucune équipe n'a véritablement survolé son groupe, plusieurs ont démontré qu'elles étaient désormais capables de rivaliser avec les meilleures nations du monde, non plus sur un match isolé mais sur la durée d'une compétition », estime Afrik.com. Parmi les qualifiés, la RDC et le Cap-Vert « ont rappelé qu'un match de foot ne se joue pas seulement avec les pieds mais aussi avec le cœur, les poumons, les tripes et un mental en acier trempé », écrit Le Pays. Mais les « Africains n'ont pas le droit de se contenter des 16e de finale, affirme Wakat Séra. (…) Aucun complexe ne doit plus habiter des footballeurs africains, eux dont les adversaires en Coupe du monde, sont des coéquipiers de club dans les plus prestigieux championnats européens. (…) L'essentiel n'est plus de participer mais de gagner », poursuit le média burkinabé. Bafana Bafana Pour l'Afrique du Sud, l'aventure s'est arrêtée aux portes des 8e de finale. Première équipe à ouvrir le bal des 16e de finale hier. Les Sud-Africains ont perdu 1-0 face au Canada. « Le rêve des Bafana Bafana en Coupe du monde s'est achevé de façon déchirante, un but dans le temps additionnel », résume The South African. « Une défaite crève-cœur, poursuit le quotidien (…). Malgré une défense acharnée pendant de longues périodes, ils (les Sud-Africains) se sont montrés peu dangereux en attaque et ont finalement été puni par le but victorieux du Canada ». Christophe Gleizes Notre confrère Christophe Gleizes aurait dû assister à ce Mondial mais il attend toujours une grâce présidentielle, un an jour pour jours après sa condamnation à 7 ans de prison en Algérie, rappelle Ouest France. Le journaliste sportif est toujours détenu « malgré les efforts de Paris pour le faire libérer ». En RDC, pas de célébration scolaire Alors que l'épidémie de fièvre Ebola continue de progresser dans la province de l'Ituri, les autorités « ont interdit toute cérémonie, rassemblement ou manifestation dans les établissements scolaires », rapporte 7 sur 7 cd. Les bulletins seront remis aux parents individuellement à partir du 2 juillet selon « un chronogramme de passage, organisé par chaque chef d'établissement, dans le respect des mesures de prévention », précise le média congolais. La situation reste « préoccupante dans la zone de santé de Nizi, située au nord de Bunia, précise Radio Okapi (…). Le virus continue de circuler activement au sein de la population. Face à cette évolution, le médecin-chef de zone tire la sonnette d'alarme ». Sur place, il n'y a « ni de centre de traitement Ebola, ni laboratoire capable d'analyser rapidement les prélèvements ». Des infrastructures indispensables pour améliorer la prise en charge des malades et limiter la propagation du virus. En Ouganda, des médias assiégés par l'armée Dans un article, le Daily Monitor, le journal papier détenu par ce groupe de médias indépendants raconte que « des militaires se sont déployés au siège à Namuwongo et dans ses studios à Kampala » dans la nuit de samedi à dimanche. Une intervention sur ordre du général Muhoozi Kainerugaba, le chef des armées ougandaises, qui « est aussi le fils du président Yoweri Museveni », rappelle Jeune Afrique. Ce raid a perturbé le fonctionnement de ses chaînes de télévisions, de radios et le site internet du journal papier qui rappelle que cette intervention est « la dernière d'une série de confrontations » entre le groupe médiatique et les autorités et que « le président Museveni a critiqué a plusieurs reprises le Daily Monitor, le qualifiant même de ‘journal hostile et malveillant' en raison de ses positions critiques ».

Uganda's latest cabinet appointments have sparked controversy after several nominees were questioned over their dual citizenship.

Shuhuda wetu katika uzinduzi huo uliofayika mwishoni mwa wiki alikuwa ni John Kibego kutoka Radio washirika wetu Kazi Njema FM ya mjini Hoima.Tukianza na ugonjwa wa Ebola lakini leo ni habari njema, wauguzi wanne waliokuwa wamelazwa hospitalini huko mashariki mwa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia Congo DRC wameruhusiwa kutoka hospitali baada ya kupona ugonjwa huo, na kufanya idadi ya waliopona virusi vya Ebola hadi sasa kufikia watu watano. Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la afya Duniani WHO katika taarifa yake limesema “Tunatarajia kuona watu zaidi wakipona, hasa wale wanaogunduliwa mapema na kupata huduma za afya kwa wakati, huku juhudi za kudhibiti mlipuko zikiongezwa kasi.”.'Kamati ya haki za watoto ya Umoja wa Mataifa imelaani sheria iliyopitishwa na uongozi wa Taliban nchini Afghanistan ya kuwa mtoto wa kike akisha balehe tu tayari anaweza kuolewa. Kamati imesema sheria hiyo mpya ni ukiukwaji mkubwa na wakimfumo wa sheria ya kimataifa ya haki za binadamu na kwamba Taliban wanachukulia ukimya wa wasichana kama ridhaa, na kwamba amri hiyo ni muendelezo wa mfululizo wa hatua za kibaguzi zinazochukuliwa na utawala wa Taliban,".Na Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa, António Guterres, hii leo ameonya kuwa kuenea na kuhamishwa kwa njia haramu kwa silaha ndogo ndogo na nyepesi kunaendelea kuchochea migogoro, ugaidi, uhalifu na ukatili wa kijinsia duniani kote, huku akizitaka nchi kuimarisha ushirikiano wa kimataifa ili kukabiliana na vitisho vinavyoibuka.Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kayanda, karibu!

The World Health Organisation has sent a team of experts and supplies to the Democratic Republic of Congo to help combat the spread of Ebola. On Sunday, it declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern because of the high risk the disease could spread further beyond DR Congo's borders after two cases were confirmed in Kampala, the capital of neighbouring Uganda. Among the agencies assisting in the efforts is Medicins San Frontiers, also known as Doctors Without Borders. Simon Eccleshall is the Head of Programs for MSF in Australia, and he spoke with SBS World News reporter Alexandra Jones about the group's response.

VOV1 - Tổ chức Y tế Thế giới ngày 20/5 nhận định nguy cơ bùng phát dịch Ebola trên toàn cầu hiện ở mức thấp, dù tình hình dịch bệnh tại Cộng hòa Dân chủ Congo và Uganda đang diễn biến phức tạp với hàng trăm ca nghi nhiễm và hơn 130 trường hợp tử vong nghi liên quan.Phát biểu tại Geneva, Thụy Sĩ, Tổng Giám đốc WHO Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus len tiếng trấn an WHO đánh giá nguy cơ dịch bệnh ở mức cao tại cấp quốc gia và khu vực, nhưng đánh giá thấp ở cấp độ toàn cầu."Sau khi tuyên bố tình trạng khẩn cấp về y tế công cộng, tôi lập tức triệu tập Ủy ban Khẩn cấp. Ủy ban này đã họp vào hôm qua và nhất trí rằng tình hình hiện tại là một tình trạng khẩn cấp về sức khỏe cộng đồng mang tầm quốc tế, nhưng không phải là một đại dịch."Theo WHO, hiện Cộng hòa Dân chủ Congo đã ghi nhận 51 ca Ebola được xác nhận, gần 600 ca nghi nhiễm và 139 ca tử vong nghi liên quan. Dịch bùng phát do chủng Bundibugyo - một biến thể hiếm của virus Ebola hiện chưa có vaccine hoặc thuốc điều trị được phê duyệt.Dù Ủy ban Khẩn cấp của WHO nhận định tình hình chưa đến mức “đại dịch toàn cầu”, song việc tuyên bố tình trạng khẩn cấp y tế công cộng vẫn gây nhiều quan ngại. Ổ dịch hiện tập trung tại tỉnh Ituri ở miền Đông Cộng hòa Dân chủ Congo, song đã xuất hiện ca bệnh tại thành phố Goma – trung tâm thương mại đông dân nằm sát biên giới Rwanda. Uganda cũng ghi nhận các ca nhiễm tại thủ đô Kampala, trong đó có một trường hợp tử vong.Trước nguy cơ lây lan, chính quyền tại Goma và Bukavu (CHDC Congo) đã tăng cường các biện pháp kiểm soát y tế như kiểm tra thân nhiệt, rửa tay bắt buộc và giám sát dịch tễ tại các cửa ngõ ra vào thành phố. Nhiều bệnh viện tại khu vực miền Đông Congo cũng được đặt trong tình trạng báo động cao. Thị trưởng Bukavu Nicolas Kyalangalilwa cho biết: "Tại tất cả các điểm vào thành phố Bukavu, các biện pháp kiểm soát dịch tễ và giám sát đã được triển khai. Việc theo dõi sự di chuyển cũng như truy vết dân cư cũng đã được thiết lập và sẽ tiếp tục chừng nào còn cần thiết."WHO cảnh báo số ca mắc thực tế có thể tiếp tục tăng do virus đã âm thầm lây lan trong nhiều tuần trước khi được phát hiện. Các chuyên gia nghi ngờ dịch bệnh có thể bùng phát từ một sự kiện siêu lây nhiễm tại đám tang hoặc cơ sở y tế.Cũng liên quan tới tình hình dịch bệnh, chính phủ Đức xác nhận vừa tiếp nhận điều trị cho một công dân Mỹ nhiễm Ebola được chuyển từ Cộng hòa Dân chủ Congo tới bệnh viện Charité ở Berlin. Giới chức Đức khẳng định nguy cơ lây nhiễm đối với người dân châu Âu hiện “rất thấp”, đồng thời nhấn mạnh các tiêu chuẩn cách ly nghiêm ngặt đang được áp dụng. Phó phát ngôn viên của chính phủ Đức Steffen Meyer khẳng định:"Tôi cũng một lần nữa muốn nhấn mạnh rằng Bộ Y tế Đức cũng đã chỉ ra nguy cơ mắc Ebola đối với người dân Đức là cực kỳ thấp. Đây là đánh giá chung của Viện Robert Koch và Trung tâm Phòng ngừa và Kiểm soát Bệnh tật Châu Âu (ECDC). Khả năng lây truyền thứ phát ở châu Âu là rất, rất khó xảy ra. Điều này cũng đã từng được chứng minh trong đợt bùng phát dịch Ebola lớn nhất từ ​​trước đến nay giai đoạn 2014-2015."WHO đang tích cực phối hợp với các đối tác quốc tế để nghiên cứu các vaccine và phương pháp điều trị tiềm năng đối với chủng Bundibugyo, song quá trình triển khai có thể mất ít nhất hai tháng./.Phương Anh/VOV1Nhân viên y tế tại cửa khẩu Busunga giữa Uganda và CHDC Congo kiểm tra thân nhiệt của một du khách từ Bundibugyo.

C'est l'intitulé d'une série de quatre reportages à lire dans Le Monde Afrique. Avec ce constat de départ : « Le premier trimestre de cette année a été l'un des plus meurtriers depuis 2014 pour les migrants partis de Tunisie et de Libye en direction de l'Europe, avec 765 morts recensées par l'OIM, l'Organisation internationale pour les migrations. (…) Le phénomène persiste (et s'amplifie donc) dans la plus grande indifférence. (…) Depuis ces 12 dernières années, l'OIM a recensé 26 734 morts en Méditerranée. Le bilan d'une guerre, sachant que l'agence onusienne insiste sur le caractère très restrictif de cette estimation. Le véritable nombre de vies effacées ne sera jamais connu. » Des accords « opaques » Indifférence donc… et complicité… Pour l'Italie de Giorgia Meloni, pas question de se laisser envahir par les migrants venus d'Afrique. Et, note Le Monde Afrique, « depuis l'arrivée au pouvoir de la première ministre d'extrême droite, la coopération de l'Italie avec les acteurs libyens s'est intensifiée, de même qu'avec la Tunisie. » Avec des accords parfois « opaques » qui incluent la fourniture de matériels et de vedettes rapides. « Toujours plus nombreux et mieux équipés grâce à Rome, donc, mais aussi grâce à Bruxelles, les garde-côtes libyens doivent intercepter les migrants en mer et les ramener en Libye, relate le journal, avant qu'ils atteignent les zones dont sont responsables les garde-côtes italiens, ou avant qu'interviennent des ONG que ces mêmes garde-côtes prennent désormais pour cible, grâce aux moyens maritimes fournis par les Européens. » « Grand remplacement » Les agents tunisiens ne sont pas en reste… « En mer, ils sont connus pour leur brutalité contre les migrants qu'ils interceptent parfois à coups de gourdin, tandis qu'à terre ils sont responsables de déplacements forcés et mortels de migrants subsahariens vers des zones désertiques, frontalières de la Libye et de l'Algérie. » Et Le Monde Afrique de rappeler « qu'en février 2023, le président autoritaire du pays, Kaïs Saïed, avait développé contre ces derniers un discours inspiré de la rhétorique du "grand remplacement", chère à la famille politique de Giorgia Meloni. Il avait ainsi ouvert la voie à un déchaînement de violences racistes qui avait conduit à une augmentation des tentatives de départs des côtes tunisiennes vers l'Europe. » Ebola : l'inquiétude… À la Une également, l'épidémie d'Ebola qui continue sa progression en RDC et au-delà… « C'est un nouveau variant qui a fait son apparition dans l'est du pays, pour lequel il n'existe à ce jour ni vaccin ni traitement. Comment a-t-il pu se propager pendant plusieurs semaines sans que personne ne s'en rende compte ? », s'interroge Jeune Afrique. « Tout commence le 24 avril à Bunia, en Ituri. Un infirmier congolais développe fièvre, fatigue et vomissements. C'est le premier cas documenté à ce stade. L'une de ses proches tombe malade deux jours plus tard, et tous deux succombent fin avril. Et personne n'alerte les autorités. (…) À ce jour, cette 17e épidémie à virus Ebola officiellement recensée en RDC a déjà fait plus de 130 victimes. » Dont un Congolais de 59 ans qui avait quitté l'Ituri pour Kampala. Un médecin missionnaire américain de l'hôpital de Nyankunde, à Bunia, a été testé positif et évacué vers l'Allemagne. Ce qui fait dire à Jean-Jacques Muyembe, codécouvreur du virus Ebola, interrogé par Le Point Afrique : « Lorsqu'une épidémie d'Ebola apparaît, cela dépasse immédiatement les frontières du pays concerné. Ebola n'est plus seulement un problème congolais : c'est un risque mondial, affirme-t-il encore. Et un risque mondial nécessite forcément une réponse mondiale. » Propagation rapide… Mais pour l'instant, « ce qui inquiète l'OMS, relève Afrik.com, c'est surtout la vitesse et l'ampleur de la propagation dans la région des Grand Lacs, avec des cas recensés à Bunia, Goma et Kinshasa en RDC, ainsi qu'à Kampala donc, dans des régions parfois marquées par les conflits et les déplacements de population. Des infections parmi les soignants font également craindre des transmissions dans les structures de santé, scénario redouté dans toute flambée d'Ebola. » Particulièrement exposés, note le site de Radio Okapi, « les sites de déplacés de l'Institut supérieur pédagogique et de Kigonze, situés à Bunia, qui font face à un manque criant de mécanismes de protection contre l'épidémie d'Ebola. Plus de 30 000 personnes y vivent dans une précarité extrême, recourant à des méthodes de fortune pour tenter de se prémunir du virus. » Au total, relève encore Radio Okapi, « la province de l'Ituri compte plus d'un million de déplacés internes fuyant les conflits armés, une population hautement vulnérable face à cette urgence sanitaire. »

It's Tuesday, May 19th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Another British preacher arrested in London Another British pastor has been arrested for preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the streets of London.   Pastor Steve Maile was singing, preaching the Good News, and calling on Muslims to be saved when he was arrested by the police.  Pastor Steve told Fox News Digital, "It's called inciting religious hatred — which is false. … The cross of Christ is a message of hope, love, mercy, and reconciliation to a fallen world. ... How could that be hate?" Not much has changed since the Prophet Amos spoke these words: “They hate the one who rebukes in the gate, and they abhor the one who speaks uprightly.” (Amos 5:10) Three Christian pastors killed in Manipur, India The Manipur, Indian Baptist Convention is condemning the death of friend and pastor Reverend Dr. Vumthang Sitlhou, who was shot and killed along with Pastors Lhouvum and Paogoulen in an ambush which took place on May 13th. Manipur State is located in Northeast India in a mostly hilly area, where the percentage of Christians has risen from 19% in 1960 to 41% in 2011, equaling the percentage of Hindus which dropped from 62% to 41%. The Baptist group noted “This senseless violence is a grave attack on humanity, peace, and religious harmony. The tragic loss of such devoted leaders who dedicated their lives to serving God, the Church, and society, is not only a loss to the Christian community, but also to the people of Manipur as a whole.”   The Worldview received pictures of the scene from Christians who witnessed the killings. The Baptist Convention is pleading with the government of India to “seriously look into the matter to conduct an immediate and impartial investigation, and ensure that the perpetrators are identified and brought to justice without delay.” Send a 2-sentence letter to Indian Ambassador Vinay Kwatra, asking that he hold the killers accountable. Send it to: Embassy of India, 2107 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20008.

At least two cases of Ebola have been detected in Kampala, Uganda as well, according to the World Health Organization. That's the worst outbreak since 2020. Those who contract the Ebola virus have a 50% chance of dying. Right-wing Vox Party makes gains in Spain The far-right, nationalist Vox Party gained some ground in Spain's election over the weekend.  The conservative party will be forced to build a ruling coalition with the Nationalists to establish a new government for that European nation. At last count, 15 European nations have experienced a surge in anti-immigrant nationalism. However, that's not necessarily a return to Christian values or pro-life values. Death tolls in the U.S.-Iran War and Russ-Ukrainian War Here's an updated list of death tolls for recent wars. * 3,000 deaths in Lebanon as reported by the BBC. * 1,700 Iranian citizens are reported to have been killed in the recent US-Israeli war on Iran. * Thirteen U.S. military personnel also gave up their lives in this war.   * While estimates vary for the Russian-Ukrainian War, the best estimates we can find are 16,000 Ukrainian civilians and about 400 Russian civilians have been killed in that war. Worse yet, anywhere from hundreds of thousands to 3,000,000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers have given up their lives in this conflict.  Jeremiah 25:32-33 speaks of God giving nations over to the devastation of war: “Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, disaster shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the farthest parts of the Earth. And, at that day, the slain of the Lord shall be from one end of the Earth even to the other end of the Earth.” Two teens killed three at Islamic Center in San Diego On May 18th, two teenagers killed three adults at the Islamic Center of San Diego including two staff members and a security guard, reports Fox News. San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl said that the two suspects involved in the shooting, ages 17 and 19, are both dead from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. He also added these additional details. WAHL: “At about 11:43am, we received a call of an active shooter at the Islamic Center. Within four minutes, officers arrived on scene and observed immediately three deceased, what appeared to be deceased, victims out in front. They immediately began to deploy with an active shooter response into the mosque and adjacent school.” Wahl said the security guard “played a pivotal role” in preventing the attack from becoming even worse. GOP Senator Bill Cassidy lost primary in Louisiana Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy was ousted in Saturday's primary election. The longtime senator came in with a dismal 25% support.  He had served as a Congressman for six years and a Senator for 11 years. Cassidy was known for both his reluctance to support the Trump agenda and challenging Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during his confirmation to be Health and Human Services Secretary.   Plus, Cassidy was one of seven GOP senators to vote to convict President Trump in his second impeachment trial on February 13, 2021 after he had already finished his first term. The vote was 57-43. Louisiana Republicans will now pick between Congresswoman Julia Letlow, whom Trump endorsed, and State Treasurer John Fleming in the upcoming run-off since neither one secure 50-plus percent of the vote. New acting FDA Commissioner worked as Planned Parenthood attorney The new Acting Commissioner for the Food and Drug Administration, Kyle Diamantas, previously worked as an attorney for Planned Parenthood. Now he says he regrets taking on the role. Diamantas told Live Action that he was assigned a case for Planned Parenthood, and, despite his opposition to abortion, he took the case. However, he later regretted his decision and asked to be recused. Diamantas also confirmed that a review of the Abortion Kill Pill is a top priority for the department. Deficits and cost of living in America are up And finally, the U.S. Office of Budget and Management is estimating a national deficit of $2 trillion for this fiscal year. That's up 15% from Fiscal Year 2025 — the last year for which the Biden administration was responsible.   The Core Producer Price Index for this country has topped 5.2% —on a steady increase since last summer. The Producer Price Index stood at 2% in January of 2024, before the 2024 elections.  Food prices are up 32% since 2020. That's an annualized whopping 4.7% per year — a pinch on the average middle class family.

The World Health Organization has declared the latest Ebola outbreak an international emergency, as cases continue to rise in the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighbouring Uganda - including infections reported in the capital, Kampala.The current outbreak is being driven by the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola, for which there are currently no approved vaccines or treatments. Fears are growing that this could escalate into a crisis on the scale of the devastating 2014 West Africa outbreak, which killed more than 11,000 people.In this episode of The Fourcast, we ask how serious the threat really is, whether the world is better prepared than it was a decade ago, and what lessons were learned from previous epidemics. Krishnan Guru-Murthy is joined by Channel 4 News health editor Victoria MacDonald and Dr Oliver Johnson, who led an Ebola isolation unit in Sierra Leone during the 2014 outbreak.

« C'est une nouvelle qui glace le sang, s'exclame Le Journal de Kinshasa, une nouvelle venue des forêts de l'est congolais. Vendredi, le Centre africain de contrôle et de prévention des maladies déclare officiellement une épidémie de maladie à virus Ebola dans la province de l'Ituri. Et ce n'est pas une simple formalité administrative : l'institution parle d'un risque élevé de propagation régionale. » Dimanche 17 mai, l'OMS a déclenché une alerte internationale. Le virus a déjà tué 88 personnes. Et il ne s'arrêtera sans doute pas là, alerte encore Le Journal de Kinshasa. En effet, explique-t-il, « plusieurs facteurs font de cette épidémie une bombe à retardement ; la mobilité des populations, les travailleurs miniers circulent sans cesse entre l'Ituri, l'Ouganda et le Soudan du Sud. L'insécurité locale : certaines zones sont encore en proie à des groupes armés, rendant les interventions sanitaires périlleuses. Et la densité urbaine : Bunia, avec ses quartiers entassés, est un terrain de jeu idéal pour un virus hautement contagieux ». « Sur l'axe Bunia-Mongbwalu, dans la province de l'Ituri, constate le site de Radio Okapi, de nombreux voyageurs continuent de négliger les mesures barrières contre cette épidémie. Entassés dans des camions de transport, plusieurs passagers ne portent pas de cache‑nez et n'utilisent pas de désinfectants (…). Beaucoup évoquent la protection divine, tandis que d'autres doutent de la réalité même de l'épidémie. » Croyances locales Dans cette région de Mongbwalu, « la psychose s'est rapidement installée, constate Le Point Afrique. (…) L'épidémie s'est déclarée début avril. Et depuis, l'hôpital général de Mongbwalu a enregistré 55 décès sur 245 patients admis. Le taux de mortalité est passé de 9 % en avril à 31 % en mai. Les autorités sanitaires signalent également la mort de quatre professionnels de santé en seulement quatre jours, un élément qui renforce les inquiétudes autour d'une éventuelle transmission nosocomiale. (…) Les autorités rapportent également, poursuit Le Point Afrique, que certaines rumeurs attribuent les décès à des causes mystiques. Dans une même famille, quinze personnes seraient mortes en l'espace de deux semaines après une réunion familiale. Selon des témoignages recueillis sur place, certains habitants évoquent un “Tumu“, un fétiche qui aurait été brûlé par un pasteur, provoquant selon les croyances locales une série de morts inexpliquées ». Kinshasa préservée ? À Kinshasa, rapporte pour sa part le site Media Congo, « face aux rumeurs qui enflamment les réseaux sociaux, l'Institut national de santé publique est sorti de son silence hier. Il a fermement démenti tout cas de maladie à virus Ebola dans la capitale congolaise ». En effet, pointe Media Congo, « alors que le pays a les yeux rivés sur l'Ituri, des campagnes de désinformation sur les réseaux sociaux ont tenté de semer la panique au sein de la plus grande métropole d'Afrique francophone. Une tentative de manipulation rapidement étouffée par les autorités sanitaires nationales ». Nouvelle souche du virus Ce qui est sûr, c'est que le virus ne connait pas les frontières… En effet, relève Afrik.com, « deux cas confirmés ont été signalés à Kampala, la capitale ougandaise, chez des personnes arrivées de RDC. L'une d'elles est décédée. (…) Le virus a donc quitté son foyer initial pour emprunter les routes, les flux commerciaux et les déplacements qui relient l'est congolais aux grandes villes de la région ». Qui plus est, relève encore Afrik.com, « la nature du virus complique encore la riposte. L'épidémie actuelle est due à la souche Ebola Bundibugyo, et non à Ebola-Zaïre, la souche la mieux connue. Pour cette dernière, des vaccins et des traitements à base d'anticorps monoclonaux ont déjà été homologués et utilisés. Pour Bundibugyo, la situation est différente. Aucun vaccin ni traitement spécifique n'existe contre cette souche. Les autorités sanitaires doivent donc s'appuyer sur les outils classiques de lutte contre Ebola et suivre la procédure : isolement rapide des malades, soins de soutien, traçage des contacts, protection du personnel soignant, sécurisation des funérailles et surveillance active dans les zones touchées ». « L'Afrique retient son souffle, soupire pour sa part Le Pays au Burkina Faso. Chaque fois qu'on le croit enrayé, Ebola, à la surprise générale, renaît de ses cendres. (…) L'urgence est de voler au secours de la RDC ».

Over the weekend, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Ebola outbreak caused by the Bundibugyo virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.As of Saturday, 16 May, health authorities had recorded eight laboratory-confirmed cases, 246 suspected cases and 80 suspected deaths in Ituri province in eastern DRC.Uganda also confirmed two Ebola cases – including one death reported in capital Kampala – among travellers arriving from the DRC.“Ebola is a very serious disease, but it's one that we know how to control,” said Mohamed Janabi, WHO Regional Director for Africa.Speaking to UN News' Flora Nducha, he explained the measures WHO is taking to contain the spread of the virus and called on the media to share accurate information to avoid a “fear outbreak”.

It's Friday, April 24th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Ugandan evangelist stabbed to death by Muslims Suspected Muslim extremists, posing as taxi drivers on April 9th, killed a Christian evangelist in central Uganda, Africa shortly after he preached at a Gospel event, reports Morning Star News. They beat and stabbed Alfred Kitenga at about 9:30 p.m. along the Northern Bypass in the Wakiso District, after he and his wife, Anna Grace, were returning home from preaching in Kampala, the Ugandan capital. One local church leader said, “This is a painful loss for the body of Christ.” In John 15:19, Jesus said, "If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." Iran says first Strait of Hormuz toll revenues banked Hamidreza Hajibabaei, the deputy speaker of Iran's parliament, claimed that Iran, not the United States, was now making demands after the first revenues for newly implemented tolls on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz were deposited into Iran's central bank, reports MSN. During a public gathering in the western city of Kuhdasht, ABC News reported that he said, "We have control over this Strait. If the United States continues on its current course, no vessels will pass through the Strait of Hormuz. We are not engaged in negotiations -- rather, we are making demands." The Strait of Hormuz, which serves as a vital waterway for trade along the Persian Gulf, is responsible for an estimated 20% of the world's oil supply traveling through. The blockade has led to soaring gas prices in the United States as the price of oil surpassed $100 per barrel multiple times. Trump orders U.S. Navy to shoot and kill any boat placing mines On Thursday, President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to “shoot and kill” any boat caught putting mines in the Strait of Hormuz, as his administration ramps up mine-clearing efforts in the critical waterway, reports TheHill.com. He added, “Additionally, our mine ‘sweepers' are clearing the Strait right now. I am hereby ordering that activity to continue, but at a tripled-up level!” Trump retrieves 10-year-old child from Cuba in transgender drama The Trump administration took the unusual step this week of sending a government plane to Cuba to return a 10-year-old boy from Utah who is at the center of a complicated and contentious custody fight involving the child's gender identity, reports NBC News. The boy's 42-year-old father, Mr. Ethington, who is pretending to be a woman himself, is accused of taking his son to Cuba without the permission from the biological mother, with whom he has shared custody. Federal and state authorities sought the return of the boy after a family member expressed concern that Mr. Ethington went to Havana, Cuba to get gender transition surgery for the boy. Mr. Ethington was arrested along with his 32-year-old partner, Blue, and charged in the U.S. with international parental kidnapping. The couple traveled with the boy to Canada, ostensibly for a camping trip in late March with Blue's 3-year-old child. However, the two adults deviously turned off their phones, after telling the older child's mother they'd arrived in Canada. Then, they flew from Vancouver to Mexico and then to Cuba on April 1. Navy secretary fired after feud over Trump's ‘Golden Fleet' with Pentagon leaders Secretary of the Navy John Phelan was fired on April 22nd after months of feuding with his Pentagon bosses, particularly over his handling of President Trump's “Golden Fleet” shipbuilding initiative, reports the New York Post. Tensions among Phelan, War Secretary Pete Hegseth and Deputy War Secretary Stephen Feinberg had been simmering for months. According to one GOP source, Phelan's leadership style was “incongruent” with Hegseth and Feinberg. The source said, “The administration really wanted to accelerate the shipbuilding program because of the president's agenda … and the secretary seemed incapable of accomplishing those goals, and he wasn't well-liked. When you combine incompetence with arrogance, it usually doesn't end well.” Deputy War Secretary Feinberg had been gradually diverting responsibility for the major project away from Phelan, the New York Times reported.  Hung Cao, the Naval undersecretary, is now set to replace him. Virginia voters gave 10 of 11 Congressional seats to Democrats On Tuesday, the Virginia Democrat officials successfully convinced voters to narrowly approve a constitutionally questionable redistricting push to give 10 out of the 11 U.S. congressional seats to the Democrats, a change that one judge ruled to be unconstitutional, reports ABC News. The Democrats had previously held 6 Congressional seats in Virginia. Florida's possible redistricting could help ensure more GOP seats In light of the Virginia election, the red state of Florida is now in the spotlight, reports JustTheNews. In the Sunshine State, Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is spearheading an effort to redraw their state's congressional districts before the midterm elections. That would help to ensure the Republicans could retain their majority in the House, and can fully implement President Trump's agenda. Another medical emergency uncovered at Colorado Planned Parenthood Yet another medical emergency was spotted this month at a Colorado Planned Parenthood abortion mill with a checkered history on patient safety, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Operation Rescue reported that an ambulance was spotted on April 10 arriving at the Fort Collins Planned Parenthood. The EMS radio dispatch revealed that a 19-year-old woman came in a day after her abortion complaining of chest pains. The EMS' use of the code “Charlie Medical” indicated fears that the situation was potentially life-threatening. Abortion mills across the country are regularly flagged for harming mothers through botched abortions, unsanitary tools and environments, and lack of regulatory protections such as requirements for staff to secure admitting privileges at nearby hospitals in the event of complications. The birth of the “In God We Trust” motto And finally, on April 22nd,1864, the motto "In God We Trust," which was conceived during the American Civil War, first appeared on American coinage. By a joint resolution of Congress, it was adopted as our national motto in 1956, replacing the previous one: “Out of many, one.” In 1814, Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner, including this seldom heard fourth verse, which references the importance of trusting God as a nation. Listen. “O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation! Blest with vict'ry and peace may the Heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto - "In God is our trust," And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave” (applause and cheers) Psalm 33:12 says, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He chose for His inheritance."

For many girls in Uganda, one opportunity can alter the course of their entire future—and that opportunity often begins with education. Around the world, poverty creates barriers that shape a child's path long before adulthood. But through the work of ministries and local partners, those stories are being rewritten with hope, dignity, and the love of Christ. Aaron Griggs joins the show today to share how Cross International is helping young women stay in school, discover their God-given purpose, and step into a future that once felt out of reach. The Mission: Serving the Most Vulnerable Cross International exists to serve some of the world's poorest and most vulnerable children and families for the glory of God. Rather than operating independently, the ministry works through trusted local churches and organizations across Africa and other regions—partners who understand the communities, relationships, and long-term needs on the ground. This approach allows them to provide immediate help—such as food, clean water, and education—while also fostering sustainable, long-term change. Local leaders remain present long after programs begin, ensuring care that is relational, consistent, and rooted in the Gospel. The Everyday Realities of Poverty For many families in countries like Uganda, Malawi, and Zambia, daily challenges are not simply inconvenient—they are life-altering. A single meal may be the only food a child receives all day. Clean water often requires walking for hours to contaminated sources. Preventable diseases spread quickly due to limited medical care. Education is frequently out of reach because families cannot afford school fees. When children cannot attend school, their opportunities shrink dramatically. For girls in particular, the consequences are often more severe—and more permanent. Why Girls Are Especially Vulnerable When resources are scarce, girls are often the first to be pulled out of school. In some communities, families facing desperate financial strain may feel forced to arrange early marriages for daughters—sometimes as young as 11 or 12—simply to survive. This leads to a heartbreaking cycle: Education ends early Marriage and motherhood begin prematurely Economic opportunities disappear Poverty passes from one generation to the next Without intervention, the very pathway that could break the cycle—education—remains inaccessible. Local Partnership in Action: Project Princess Initiative One of Cross International's key ministry partners in Uganda is the Project Princess Initiative, based in Kampala. Together, they walk alongside vulnerable girls by: Helping them stay in school Providing mentorship and spiritual guidance Teaching practical career and life skills Building confidence rooted in their identity in Christ The goal is not only academic success but whole-person transformation—spiritual, emotional, practical, and relational.  As many girls grow older, something remarkable happens: they begin mentoring others. The hope they received becomes the hope they give. Karen's Story: From Hopelessness to Purpose Karen, a young woman from Uganda, once faced a future filled with uncertainty. After her father abandoned the family, her education stopped. Surrounded by poverty, drugs, and despair, she felt trapped and hopeless. Through Project Princess, everything changed. She returned to school. She encountered mentors who reminded her of her worth in Christ. She discovered a future she never thought possible. Karen eventually attended college and studied economics—an opportunity few girls from her background ever experience. Today, she mentors younger girls facing similar challenges and speaks passionately about the role of faith in her transformation. Her story reflects a powerful truth: when education, mentorship, and the Gospel intersect, lives change. Why Faith Matters in Education Cross International's work centers on more than academics. While education opens doors, true transformation begins in the heart. Their approach focuses on the whole person: Physical needs like food and clean water Emotional support through mentorship Practical training for future careers Spiritual formation through prayer and discipleship Education alone can inform the mind. The Gospel renews the heart and reshapes identity. Together, they empower girls to become who God created them to be. How You Can Get Involved Scripture calls believers to care for the vulnerable. Psalm 82:3 urges us to “defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.” For many, generosity becomes a practical way to live out that calling. Through partnerships like this: Food reaches children who would otherwise go hungry Education keeps girls in school Mentorship restores dignity and hope The message of Christ transforms lives A relatively small gift can create a lasting impact—helping a child receive education, care, and spiritual support for an entire year. Through FaithFi's partnership with Cross International, every $62 helps provide a vulnerable child with a year of support—including education, nutritious food, mentorship, and the hope of the Gospel. Larger gifts can extend that impact to multiple children and families. To learn more or make a one-time gift, visit FaithFi.com/Cross. As you steward the resources God has entrusted to you, this is a tangible way to defend the vulnerable, uplift the oppressed, and invest in futures filled with hope. One opportunity can change a life. Your involvement can help make that opportunity possible. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: We're expecting a car accident settlement this year. Will it be taxable, and do we report it as income? After medical bills and attorney fees, how should we think about tithing on what remains? Our estate is set up in a trust, and we have two adult sons who don't get along. Should we name just one as trustee and power of attorney, or appoint them both? I have $24,000 in credit card debt.

Sometimes a story comes along that challenges my perspectives at a core level. As a father, I took great responsibility in instilling self-worth into my children. And, I still had kids who struggled with their self-worth. I feel our culture as a whole is more insecure than ever. My guest in this episode is Peter Mutabazi, and he found his self-worth after a childhood that gave him zero access to any concept of it. Peter was born out in the boonies of Uganda in what can hardly be described as a home. He was routinely beaten by his father and treated like a stray dog. Or worse. Treated like trash. He ran away at age 10 for fear his father would finally kill him. He made it to the city of Kampala where he lived on the streets and slept in the sewers. Literally. It was so disgusting in the sewers nobody would venture there, which meant it was the only place he could find safety. He lived as a street kid where he only ate every few days, he never slept in a bed, rode in a car, or had shoes. But at age 15, someone befriended him and gave him a chance. Today he lives in America where he fosters and adopts children and runs an organization he founded called, Nowiamknownfoundation.org where his goal is to encourage and affirm marginalized and abandoned children. He wrote a book titled, Now I Am Known:  How a Street Kid Turned Foster Dad Found Acceptance and True Worth. My focus was on how Peter could come from such dramatic abuse, abject poverty, and zero exposure to any nurturing or support, and not only find his self-worth, but then serve others in finding their self-worth. And be at peace with this world that he found so much pain from for the first 15 years of his existence. What could we learn and apply to ourselves?

Uganda's opposition leader, Bobi Wine, has urged his supporters to hold non- violent protests following presidential elections on Thursday. In a video posted on X, Wine questioned the credibility of the vote, saying results could not be verified after members of his party were arrested amid an ongoing internet shutdown. Also in the programme: the new ‘Board of Peace' for Gaza; and US politicians visit Denmark amid tensions over Greenland.
