Podcasts about Kenya

Over the past year, Kenya has been rocked by anti-government protests. What started as a demonstration over proposed tax increases soon turned into a nationwide, youth-led protest over the state of the economy, alleged political corruption and police brutality. But it's come at a cost. Dozens of protestors have been killed in clashes with the police, and human rights groups say many activists have been abducted and tortured by agents of the states. Michael Kaloki meets the young Kenyans who are caught in a battle for change.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

In a conversation about visionary leadership, M-PESA CEO Sitoyo Lopokoiyit speaks with impact investor and Acumen CEO Jacqueline Novogratz about how he grew a nascent mobile payment service into Africa's largest fintech platform — which now handles nearly 60 percent of Kenya's GDP and more than a billion dollars in daily transactions. They draw on insights from both of their careers to explore how trust, innovation and moral imagination can unlock opportunity in overlooked places.For a chance to give your own TED Talk, fill out the Idea Search Application: ted.com/ideasearch.Interested in learning more about upcoming TED events?

The US and China dominate the field of artificial intelligence - between them they're responsible for 90% of the world's AI infrastructure. Where does this leave the rest of the world? We speak to an AI business in Kenya, a country that doesn't benefit from lots of investment in the sector. We discuss the difficulties of trying to innovate in Argentina. And we explore the divide between regions seeing a lot of investment in the industry compared to those that aren't, and what this could mean for the future.If you'd like to get in touch with the programme, you can email us at businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresented and produced by Hannah Mullane(Picture: Computer science professor Nicolas Wolovick, in Argentina, next to a supercomputer.

Journée spéciale sur le commerce mondial de la drogue aujourd'hui sur RFI. Focus tout de suite sur l'Afrique avec Flore Berger, de L'Initiative mondiale contre la criminalité transnationale organisée. Elle est spécialiste du trafic de drogue en Afrique. Elle nous explique pourquoi les narcotrafiquants n'aiment pas les coups d'État. Et elle nous révèle quel rôle jouent ces trafiquants dans certaines libérations d'otages au Sahel. Elle répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Pourquoi l'Afrique de l'Ouest est-elle devenue une plaque tournante pour la cocaïne entre l'Amérique latine et l'Europe ? Flore Berger : Oui, alors géographiquement c'est intéressant pour lier les deux zones. Mais aussi il y a des vulnérabilités importantes qui font que c'est devenu un centre logistique. Donc il y a moins de surveillance dans les territoires, un manque de ressources dans les ports principaux d'Afrique de l'Ouest, évidemment, des niveaux de corruption élevés. Donc, tout ça explique le fait que l'Afrique de l'Ouest soit devenue un centre névralgique pour le trafic mondial. Est-ce que les réseaux jihadistes d'Afrique de l'Ouest et du Sahel sont impliqués dans ce trafic ou dans celui d'autres drogues ? Alors pas spécialement. Déjà, il faut dire que la plupart des flux de cocaïne arrivent en Afrique de l'Ouest par les voies maritimes et repartent vers l'Europe par les voies maritimes. Mais il y a une partie qui est déchargée et qui prend la route, qui traverse notamment le Mali et le Niger en particulier, la Libye aussi. Et donc c'est sur ces routes de trafic qu'on a aussi la présence de réseaux jihadistes. Donc ce ne sont pas les acteurs principaux du trafic, ce ne sont pas ceux qui organisent ou ce ne sont pas les logisticiens, les intermédiaires… Mais comme ils ont une forte présence dans ces zones de transit, le long des routes, on sait qu'ils taxent la marchandise et taxent les trafiquants pour que ceux-ci puissent utiliser les routes qu'ils contrôlent. Donc on sait que les groupes jihadistes font ça pour tout type de biens licites et illicites. Donc les commerçants de carburant, les compagnies de transport, les éleveurs avec leurs animaux. Donc tout le monde qui veut utiliser leur territoire doit les payer. Donc, ce n'est pas spécifique au trafic de drogue. À lire aussiEn Afrique de l'Ouest, le trafic de drogues s'accompagne désormais d'une consommation hors de contrôle Est-ce que le trafic de drogue en Afrique est plus important dans les pays instables et en guerre civile ? Pas forcément. Et on voit qu'il y a certains trafics, comme on vient de parler du vol de bétail, qui sont renforcés, qui augmentent lors de périodes d'intense violence ou d'instabilité. C'est aussi le cas du trafic d'armes ou de carburant, par exemple, qui sont des ressources clés pour les groupes armés. Mais pour la cocaïne, c'est différent dans le sens où ce trafic prospère plutôt dans des zones où il y a un équilibre assez délicat, c'est-à-dire que trop d'instabilité va compliquer les flux et désorganiser les réseaux. C'est quelque chose qu'on a vu après, par exemple, le coup d'État au Niger en juillet 2023. Il y avait des réseaux de protection établis entre les autorités et les trafiquants. Et donc ces réseaux ont été éclatés du jour au lendemain. Aussi avec les périodes de grands conflits comme on a vu au nord du Mali dans la deuxième partie de 2023. Toutes ces périodes d'instabilité ne sont pas très bonnes pour le business, parce que les réseaux doivent soit trouver de nouveaux itinéraires, soit de nouveaux intermédiaires, recréer des relations de protection, et donc trop d'instabilité n'est pas forcément bon pour ce trafic-là. C'est-à-dire que les trafiquants de drogue du Niger ont été déstabilisés par le putsch de juillet 2023 ? Oui, oui. Donc, on a vu une diminution du trafic au Niger après le coup d'État, notamment de certains intermédiaires clés qui étaient impliqués dans le trafic de drogue depuis longtemps. Donc, avec la protection des autorités, il y a même des trafiquants, par exemple un en particulier qui s'est reconverti, on va dire, dans l'orpaillage, le trafic de l'or, parce que voilà, les protections au niveau de l'État pour le trafic de cocaïne n'étaient plus en place. À lire aussiTrafic de drogues: le Kenya, de plateforme logistique à marché de consommation émergent Quelle est la répression la plus efficace ? Pour la répression, donc, on sait spécifiquement pour le trafic de cocaïne qu'il y a vraiment des intermédiaires clés qui souvent sont connus de tous, qui opèrent depuis des décennies, par exemple au Mali ou au Niger, et puis des réseaux étrangers qui viennent des Balkans, qui s'implantent en Afrique de l'Ouest. Et donc eux sont vraiment les acteurs clés de cet écosystème et ils sont difficiles à remplacer parce que ce sont eux qui ont les connexions, ce sont eux qui ont les relations haut placées, ce sont eux qui sont au cœur de la logistique et des opérations. Et donc si on focalise la répression sur eux, donc il y aura clairement un impact sur ce marché illicite, au moins dans le moyen terme, jusqu'à ce que d'autres prennent leur place. Vous parlez des chefs de réseau, notamment de ces réseaux balkaniques qui viennent de Bosnie, d'Albanie, du Monténégro. C'est ça ? Voilà. Et qui ont évidemment des interlocuteurs, par exemple au Mali, au Niger ou les pays côtiers. Et est-ce qu'il y a déjà eu des arrestations du côté de ces chefs de réseaux ou pas ? Alors c'est un peu ça le souci principal, c'est que ce sont souvent eux qui ont établi des liens de protection avec l'accord des autorités. Par exemple, au Mali, ce sont des personnalités qui sont bien connues des services de renseignement et qui sont même parfois utilisés par les autorités, par exemple, quand il y a des otages et qu'il faut se lier ou faire des négociations entre groupes armés et autorités. Donc ce sont ces mêmes personnes-là qui sont appelées, du fait de leurs capacités à parler et aux groupes armés sur le terrain et aux autorités. Et donc c'est assez rare que des poursuites à leur encontre voient le jour. À lire aussiDe la culture de la coca au dealer européen, qui contrôle le trafic de cocaïne?

Karibu usikilize jarida la habari za Umoja wa Mataifa hii leo tunaangazia masuala ya amani pamoja na ushirikiano wa nchi zinazoendelea na zile zilizoendelea duniani. Pia utasikia habari kutoka mashinani nchini Kenya kuhusu mradi wa UNICEF kwenye kilimo uliowainua kiuchumi vijana. Mtangazaji wako ni Leah Mushi. 

Kaunti ya Kirinyaga, iliyoko katikati mwa nchi ya Kenya kaskazini mwa mji mkuu wa nchi hiyo, Nairobi, inashuhudia mageuzi mapya katika sekta ya kilimo kupitia mradi wa kuwahusisha vijana  katika kilimo na lishe unaojulikana kama EKYAN. Mradi huu unatekelezwa kwa ushirikiano kati ya Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto UNICEF, na wadau nchini humo.  Karibu Sabrina Saidi utupe taarifa zaidi.....(TAARIFA YA SABRINA SAIDI)Mradi wa EKYAN ni mfano wa ujasiriamali wa kilimo unaoongozwa na vijana, ukiwa na lengo la kutengeneza fursa za ajira, kuwanufaisha na kubadilisha maisha ya vijana walioko vijijini, kupitia mbinu bora za kilimo na lishe, ukitekelezwa kwa ushirikiano kati ya Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto UNICEF, serikali ya kaunti ya Kirinyaga na shirika linalotoa mafunzo, elimu ya biashara ndogo ndogo na uwezeshaji barani Afrika KUZA Biashara.Felista Nyakio Mutungi kijana mkulima wa kaunti ya Kirinyaga, ni mmoja wa wanufaika wa mafunzo kupitia mradi huo. Na hapa anasema....CUT 2- Sauti ya Felista Nyakio Mutungi“Kabla ya kuanza kilimo, nilikuwa nauza barabarani viazi vya kukaanga au chipsi,  na mihogo, pamoja na nafaka. Haikuwa vizuri sana, lakini ndiyo nafasi pekee niliyokuwa nayo wakati huo. Kupitia serikali ya kaunti ya Kirinyaga, tulisajiliwa kama vijana wanaopenda kilimo na tukapata mafunzo kupitia KUZA na UNICEF. Sasa mimi ni mkulima na mjasiriamali.”Felista anasema awali alikuwa akilima robo ekari ya mpunga na kuvuna magunia manne hadi matano pekee. Lakini baada ya mradi wa EKYAN, kwa robo ekari hiyo hiyo sasa anapata hadi magunia saba. Aidha, shamba lake limepanuka hadi ekari nne katika eneo la 'mradi wa umwagiliaji wa Bura.Felista hakutaka kuwa mchoyo wa manufaa aliyopata, hivyo ameamua kueneza ujuzi wa kilimo cha kibiashara kwa kuwafundisha baadhi ya wakulima wengine mbinu na maarifa ya kilimo hiki.CUT- Sauti ya Felista  Nyakio Mutungi“Sasa si tu kwamba nalima, bali pia nawafundisha wakulima wengine kuongeza thamani katika mazao yao. Wanapata ujuzi wa kufanya biashara kupitia kilimo. Na kwa kweli tunawashukuru wahisani na UNICEF kwa kutuwezesha. Bila mpango huu, nisingekuwa hapa nilipo leo.”Kwa upande wake mtaalamu wa ubunifu wa UNICEF nchini Kenya Lilian Njoro, anaeleza kwa nini mradi huo ni muhimu kwa vijana.CUT- Sauti ya Lilian Njoro."Ni asilimia 10 pekee ya vijana wanaojihusisha na sekta ya kilimo. Kwa hivyo, kupitia mradi wa EKYAN, tulitaka kuona jinsi ya kuwahusisha vijana wengi zaidi katika kilimo na kuwavutia ili waweze kuanza kupata maisha yenye utulivu na ajira bora kupitia sekta hii.”Njoro anasisitiza kuwa teknolojia mpya zinafungua njia kwa kilimo cha kisasa tofauti na enzi za wazazi na mababu zao.Namna kilimo kinavyofanyika nyakati hizi ni tofauti na zamani,hii ni kwa sababu ya uwepo wa teknolojia bunifu, majukwaa ya kidijitali, na fursa nyingi.Kwa sasa, mradi wa EKYAN umeendelea kuwajengea vijana ujuzi, kuwapatia nafasi ya ajira, na kubadilisha mtazamo wao kuhusu kilimo, kutoka shughuli ya kizamani hadi kuwa biashara yenye faida.Link: https://youtu.be/hv17nk-2l5kTAGS:UNICEF Kenya/Kilimo/Biashara na ujasiriamali

Since this episode aired last year, we're still dreaming of a just and representative global order. Catherine Nzuki was joined by Ambassador Martin Kimani, PhD, the Executive Director of New York University's Center on International Cooperation. He was previously the Permanent Representative of Kenya to the United Nations (UN). In this episode, we take a deep dive into Africa's bid for two permanent seats on the UN Security Council (UNSC) and the long road to get there. We discuss how long Africa has been pushing for these seats (3:40); the procedure to create the two permanent seats (7:00); why the process of selecting which African state will occupy those seats could cause infighting (15:20); and two scenarios for how these seats could be distributed (19:40). We zoom out to discuss the deficit of visionary contemporary leaders (30:18); the types of reforms that the African Union needs (34:42); Africa's demographic dividend (36:00); Africa in the G20 (42:30); and finally, reordering global geography in line with Africa's own interests (45:00).

Stablecoins, relationships, and licenses – inside the Flutterwave success story Detailed Summary: In this Finovate podcast, host Greg Palmer interviews Bridgit Antwi, Head of Strategy and Planning at Flutterwave, Africa's leading payments company. Founded in 2016 by Olubenga "GB" Agbola, Flutterwave was created to solve the significant friction in facilitating financial transactions across Africa's complex landscape of 54 countries, 40+ currencies, and numerous payment systems. The company has built an infrastructure that abstracts this complexity through a single API platform, allowing merchants to seamlessly collect payments across multiple countries, currencies, and payment methods. Today, Flutterwave operates in over 30 countries, holds licenses in 14 African nations (making it the most licensed non-bank entity on the continent), and maintains 35 money transfer licenses. Flutterwave's growth has required not only technological innovation but also extensive relationship-building across the financial ecosystem. The company has established over 150 direct connections to banks, mobile network operators, payment schemes, and digital wallets, creating redundant payment rails necessary for reliable operation in Africa. This infrastructure has become a competitive advantage and now powers the next generation of African startups. Key customers include global companies like Uber, which Flutterwave helped expand from Nigeria to ten additional markets by localizing transactions and improving authorization rates. They also serve local merchants like Nigerian airline Airpeace and payment service providers from Europe, the US, and increasingly Asia. Looking toward the future, Flutterwave is focusing heavily on stablecoins, particularly USDC. As a member of the Circle Partnership Network, they are one of few African partners that can mint USDC and provide on/off-ramp services between USDC and fiat currencies. This focus addresses critical needs in Africa, where currency volatility and inflation make stablecoins an attractive alternative for cross-border transactions due to lower costs and faster settlement times. Beyond facilitating local payments, Flutterwave is helping merchants expand their reach across borders, with particular interest in the "big four" e-commerce markets (Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, and Egypt) as well as secondary markets like Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda, and parts of Francophone Africa.

Kenya Bartender Week (KBW), the first of its kind in the country, is set to take place from 2nd to 8th September 2025. This week-long celebration will spotlight the creativity, innovation, and community spirit fueling Kenya's vibrant bartending and cocktail culture.

How This Is Building Me, hosted by world-renowned oncologist D. Ross Camidge, MD, PhD, is a podcast focused on the highs and lows, ups and downs of all those involved with cancer, cancer medicine, and cancer science across the full spectrum of life's experiences. In this episode, Dr Camidge sat down with Ken Culver, MD, the director of Research and Clinical Affairs at ALK Positive Inc.  Drs Camidge and Culver discussed the highlights of Dr Culver's career, which has been shaped by clinical practice, research, industry leadership, and patient advocacy. They noted elements of ALK Positive that set it apart from other patient advocacy groups, including its being entirely created, funded, and led by patients with stage IV lung cancer and their caregivers. Culver explained how he collaborates with patients to expand treatment opportunities, meets with companies and universities worldwide, and helps stakeholders recognize both the unmet needs and financial incentives for developing therapies for ALK-positive lung cancer. Culver detailed his path to the oncology field, which began with an intention to practice as a community pediatrician in Iowa. This led him to pursue residency training in California, where he gained diverse clinical experience, particularly in HIV/AIDS at the height of the epidemic. His early research explored HIV transmission in children born to drug-using mothers, highlighting the immunosuppressive effect of drug abuse even in the absence of HIV. During his fellowship, he contributed to pioneering work in gene therapy. He also participated in research that laid the groundwork for tumor-directed therapies, which later influenced large-scale clinical trials. Eventually, Culver explained that transitioned to industry. At Novartis, he contributed to the development of important drugs and witnessed the transformative launch of imatinib (Gleevec), one of the first targeted cancer therapies. Alongside his professional work, Culver established the Foundation for Peace, a nonprofit providing medical and community support in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Kenya. This initiative, which began with a mission trip in 1989, has grown to involve hundreds of volunteers annually, offering both medical care and broader community services. In his current role with ALK Positive, Culver noted that he has leveraged patient-led advocacy to influence industry priorities, resulting in several new clinical trials for ALK-positive patients. His work emphasizes balancing discovery research with near-term clinical opportunities to directly benefit patients with cancer today. He also shared how he prioritizes tools to empower patients, such as clinical trial finders, and stressed the importance of having contingency plans before disease progression. Overall, this conversation highlights a career that reflects a consistent commitment to science, patient care, and global service, guided by both professional and humanitarian values.

“CTRL+Z” aka abortion...That's the conversation on today's episode.Recent trends show just how alarming the rate of unsafe abortions in Kenya is, some even calling it “stranger removal.” In this episode, we're shining a light on the realities behind this, from the education gap in our society, like using morning-after pills as contraception to trying dangerous DIY methods… it's messy, it's scary, and it's happening. Yet what we're more concerned about is that people are having sex?We hope that this episode acts as a guide incase you ever find yourself facing the question of whether to keep a pregnancy or not.Got questions?

Guest post by Stanley Olisa Half the world still live without access to essential health services. Thats the stark warning from the World Health Organisation. When illness strikes across Africa and Asia, families are forced into impossible choices: pay crippling out-of-pocket costs or go without treatment altogether. For too many, the result is fatal. From pneumonia in Bangladesh to malaria in Kenya and maternal complications in Nigeria, the story is consistent. The poorest are locked out of healthcare systems designed to leave them behind. But a new tech-driven model is starting to change that. A Digital Lifeline Helpster, a global non-profit platform, is leveraging technology to close life-threatening healthcare gaps. Its model is simple but radical: connect vulnerable patients directly with donors, hospitals and volunteers in real time. The goal is to bypass the bottlenecks of traditional aid and get treatment to those who need it most, when they need it most. The platforms data from Africa and Asia reveal just how urgent the crisis is, and how tech innovation can be part of the solution. The Conditions Claiming the Most Lives Pneumonia remains one of the leading killers of children under five in Bangladesh, accounting for 12% of child deaths. In rural Kenya, severe malaria dominates case records, with more than 3.4 million new cases and 11,800 deaths each year. One seven-year-old girl endured three days of fever before Helpster matched her family with a donor. The $109 treatment cost was impossible to cover. Without digital intervention, she would not have survived. In Nigeria, the challenge is even larger. With 68 million malaria cases and 194,000 deaths recorded in 2021 alone, the country accounts for nearly a third of global malaria deaths. Alongside this, obstetric emergencies such as pre-eclampsia and placenta praevia regularly appear in Helpsters case logs. Healthcare at Catastrophic Cost Behind these statistics are families who simply cannot pay. In Bangladesh, rural households earn around $155-175 per month. Treating pneumonia costs $170. A breech delivery can cost $265. In Kenya, severe malaria treatment averages $109, while pneumonia is $133. Just 28% of Kenyans have health insurance, and even then many say it is unaffordable. In Nigeria, treatment for malaria or surgical conditions ranges from ?20,000 ($25) to ?180,000 ($230). Yet fewer than 10% of Nigerians have insurance, leaving 190 million to pay out of pocket. When half of Nigerians earn just ?63,126 ($41) a month, according to 2025 data, these costs are catastrophic. Barriers That Keep Care Out of Reach For families in Bangladesh, Kenya and Nigeria, the obstacles to healthcare are strikingly similar. The first is economic. With households bearing most of the cost, even a basic hospital stay can wipe out a months income. Distance is another barrier. In rural areas, hospitals may be hours away, reached only by dirt roads or unreliable transport. For a mother in labour or a child with a high fever, those delays can be fatal. The shortage of medical staff deepens the crisis. Doctors and nurses cluster in urban centres, while rural facilities operate with skeletal teams. Many who are trained leave for better prospects abroad, draining already fragile systems. Social and cultural factors also hold people back. Women often need permission to seek care, while marginalised groups are treated with suspicion or neglect. And when families finally reach hospitals, corruption and empty drug shelves too often greet them instead of treatment. Digital health services are expanding but the poorest remain excluded, a cruel irony of progress. Scoring Poverty, Prioritising Urgency This is where Helpsters model shows its strength. By applying digital poverty and urgency scores, the platform can prioritise cases based on household income, family size, location and living conditions. In Bangladesh, the average poverty score is 118/250 with an urgency score of 22/26. In Kenya, ...

In this episode, I chat with Chad Harris, a former missionary turned full-time real estate investor, who's quietly mastered the art of building a rental portfolio without ever using traditional bank financing. Chad walks us through how he raised millions in private money—starting with zero savings and a $2K/month income—and why less interest is actually more attractive to lenders.From structuring win-win deals to understanding what private lenders actually want, Chad breaks down his strategy with a calm, no-hype approach that cuts through the noise. If you've been scared to ask for money, or you're stuck using your own cash, this episode will completely change how you think about raising capital.[Timeline Summary][0:00] – Introduction[1:01] – Why higher interest rates actually scare off private lenders[2:06] – Chad's journey from rural Kenya missionary to real estate investor[3:33] – No savings, no job, no bank—but a vision that convinced others to fund him[4:32] – Helping others become investors through lending[6:12] – Where to find private lenders (hint: they're everywhere)[8:21] – Why 6–8% is a gift to most retirees and stock investors[9:18] – The 3-part pitch Chad uses every time to start the private money conversation[11:08] – 37+ places to find lenders (free resource)[12:17] – Why Chad chose rentals over flips or wholesale[14:10] – How he generated cash at acquisition and refinance without using banks[17:03] – The turning point: when cash flow pressure finally eased up[18:22] – The lender mindset shift: lower rates = lower risk = more money raised[22:10] – The case for 10-year, interest-only loans[25:05] – How to work with Chad or learn more from him directly5 Key TakeawaysHigher interest ≠ more money. Lenders see high rates as high risk. Lowering rates actually increased Chad's capital access.Private money is everywhere. Most people don't know they can be lenders—until you show them how.Longer terms, less chaos. Chad now uses 10-year, interest-only loans to reduce stress and balloon headaches.Start with your story.

Stories Among The Stars A Strong Teatime with Miss Liz September 9th 7 pm EST Lance Robinson Topic “Stories Among the Stars: Exploring Humanity, Nature, and the Infinite” Introduction Join Miss Liz for an inspiring Teatime with Lance Robinson, an environmental social scientist, speculative fiction writer, and global nomad whose life and work traverse continents, cultures, and the human spirit. From Ghana to the Gambia, Colombia to Kenya, Lance has spent his life weaving through the experiences of mobile peoples and studying humanity's connection with the natural world. A writer since childhood, he returned to his creative roots after spending years abroad. His speculative fiction now dives into profound questions about our spiritual journeys, our ties to the environment, and our collective place in the universe. Description: Lance Robinson's writing is deeply reflective, exploring how our relationship with nature parallels our personal and spiritual growth. His story, Five Days Until Sunset, blends his love for astronomy with a quest for meaning — asking what it means to find harmony in worlds that both nurture and challenge us. As a sporadic nomad and avid space enthusiast, Lance offers a unique lens through which to examine humanity, faith, and resilience. In this Teatime, Miss Liz and Lance will explore how stories — both real and imagined — help us navigate life's constant evolution, from the Earth beneath our feet to the stars above. Closing Summary: This Teatime with Lance Robinson will be a journey through stories, science, and the soul. His reflections will remind us that whether we are on Earth or dreaming among the stars, our search for connection, balance, and meaning is what makes us human. His work sparks curiosity, hope, and a renewed sense of wonder for the world we share.

Ciudad Juarez au Mexique est considérée comme l'une des villes les plus violentes au monde. Plus de 10 000 assassinats y ont été recensés entre 2007 et 2011. Cela signifie qu'une génération d'enfants, souvent livrés à eux-mêmes, sans aucun repère ni perspectives, n'ont connu que la violence. Un reportage de Louise Kim. Ciudad Juárez s'est développée autour des maquiladoras, des usines à bas coût, qui ont attiré des milliers de travailleurs logés dans de petits appartements sans infrastructures sociales : ni écoles, ni parcs, ni hôpitaux. Les enfants grandissent souvent sans cadre parental, encadrés par des adultes extérieurs à leur famille, ce qui les expose très tôt au tabac, à l'alcool et aux stupéfiants. La combinaison de longues heures de travail pour les parents et de l'absence de protection conduit de nombreux adolescents à entrer en contact avec le crime organisé, où ils se sentent valorisés et intégrés, mais souvent au prix de la violence et de la criminalité. La situation se complique avec la violence sexuelle, qui touche des centaines d'enfants chaque année, souvent dans un climat d'impunité et de complicité institutionnelle. Selon les experts, les enfants qui dénoncent ces abus doivent surmonter une autre difficulté : être pris en charge les autorités. Pour ceux qui sortent des centres de détention, les perspectives de réinsertion sont quasi nulles. Ciudad Juárez, bien qu'emblématique par son histoire et l'apparition du terme « féminicide », illustre une problématique bien plus large où la négligence des institutions et la violence sociale alimentent un cycle de vulnérabilisation des enfants. Le projet d'une nouvelle force de sécurité capable de lutter contre les gangs en Haïti commenté par la presse américaine « C'est un espoir pour Haïti », estime le Washington Post. Contrairement à la force de sécurité actuelle menée par le Kenya, surtout composée de policiers, la force antigang proposée serait plus large, dotée du pouvoir d'arrêter et mandatée pour agir de façon indépendante, sans la police haïtienne. Mais au-delà des raisons humanitaires, rétablir l'ordre, contenir la violence des gangs et éviter l'effondrement de l'État est un enjeu vital pour les États-Unis. Les gangs haïtiens sont passés de groupes locaux à des organisations criminelles transnationales, acheminant drogue vers les États-Unis et ramenant des armes en Haïti, souligne le Washington Post. Le Miami Herald de son côté pointe une contradiction dans le projet américain. Alors que Washington affiche son intention de stabiliser Haïti, il cherche aussi à réduire des milliards de dollars d'aide étrangère, y compris des millions destinés aux missions de maintien de la paix de l'ONU. Les observateurs s'interrogent donc : les États-Unis sont-ils vraiment prêts à s'engager pour stabiliser Haïti ? Brésil : en attendant le verdict dans le procès de Jair Bolsonaro, accusé de tentative de coup d'État Les juges de la Cour suprême commencent à voter à partir de ce mardi, pour condamner ou acquitter l'ancien dirigeant d'extrême droite. Selon Folha de São Paulo, l'entourage de Jair Bolsonaro estime qu'une condamnation est probable et que la stratégie consiste désormais à éviter qu'il purge sa peine en prison. Parallèlement, Carta Capital s'intéresse à Michelle Bolsonaro, l'ex-première dame, que certains médias brésiliens voient déjà comme une possible candidate à la succession de son mari. Ce qui distingue Michelle Bolsonaro, explique le journal, n'est pas le degré d'extrémisme mais le style : alors que l'ex-président affichait brutalité et cruauté explicites, défendant la torture et se moquant des victimes du Covid, Michelle incarne la femme pieuse et compatissante, guidée par de profondes convictions religieuses. Elle alterne entre le ton plaintif de la victime et un discours enflammé mais adouci de prédicatrice. Sa violence, estime Carta Capital, ne se trouve pas dans la forme mais dans le contenu : pour elle, ses adversaires ont conclu « un pacte avec le démon », et la politique est une guerre spirituelle entre le bien et le mal absolus. Le journal conclut qu'il est difficile d'imaginer quelque chose de plus autoritaire et intolérant — de quoi faire pâlir d'envie les talibans.   Le Nicaragua veut coopérer avec les régions ukrainiennes occupées par la Russie Le régime nicaraguayen renforce les pouvoirs de Laureano Ortega Murillo, fils du couple présidentiel Daniel Ortega et Rosario Murillo. Selon La Prensa, un décret présidentiel lui confère la capacité de signer des « accords de coopération commerciale et économique » avec les régions ukrainiennes de Donetsk, Louhansk, Kherson et Zaporijia, territoires reconnus en juillet par le Nicaragua comme faisant partie de la Russie. Cette décision a provoqué l'ire de l'Ukraine et constitue, selon le journal, une violation flagrante du droit international et des résolutions de l'ONU, qui interdisent la reconnaissance de territoires acquis par la force et protègent l'intégrité territoriale des États.   Journal de la 1ère Colère des agriculteurs en Guadeloupe : la filière banane perd 500 000 euros de subventions par an au profit de la diversification agricole en Martinique.

Le deuxième Sommet africain sur le climat s'ouvre lundi 8 septembre à Addis-Abeba, où 45 chefs d'État et 25 000 délégués sont attendus pour cet évènement porté par les Nations Unies, l'Union africaine et l'Éthiopie. Celle-ci vient d'ailleurs de présenter sa candidature pour organiser le COP en 2027. L'un des objectifs du sommet de deux jours est de présenter les solutions concrètes en faveur du climat pour le continent africain, d'unifier aussi la voix des États en vue de la COP qui se tiendra en novembre au Brésil. La sénégalaise Aïssatou Diouf Notre invitée est une militante et une référence en Afrique pour les questions environnementales et responsable des politiques internationales et du plaidoyer au sein de l'ONG ENDA Énergie. Elle répond à Guillaume Thibault. RFI : Aïssatou Diouf, pourquoi ce 2ᵉ sommet africain est capital ? L'enjeu pour le continent, c'est à la fois de prendre le train en marche, mais surtout de parler d'une seule voix ? La Semaine africaine du climat est une plateforme stratégique pour l'Afrique, car elle permet aux pays, à la société civile et même au secteur privé de parler d'une seule voix, de défendre nos priorités face aux négociations mondiales. C'est donc le moment de démontrer que le climat peut être un levier de développement et d'emploi pour le continent. Donc, ce sommet va aligner les efforts des pays africains et surtout catalyser des actions concrètes, notamment sur les enjeux que j'ai cités précédemment. Quel message vous tirez du premier sommet qui s'est tenu il y a deux ans au Kenya, à Nairobi ? Les financements promis lors de ce sommet tardent à arriver et surtout, la mise en œuvre sur le terrain est encore très insuffisante. C'est pourquoi, à mon avis, cette édition doit aller beaucoup plus loin pour que les populations africaines voient réellement les bénéfices et les intérêts de ces sommets. Vous attendez beaucoup des discussions sur les questions de transition énergétique. Pour quelle raison est-ce essentiel ? Vous savez, la transition énergétique est un enjeu vital. Nous avons encore plus de 600 millions de personnes sans accès à l'électricité. Donc le défi, il est double. Premièrement, c'est répondre à cette urgence sociale tout en réduisant notre dépendance aux énergies fossiles. Mais également, on sait tous que l'Afrique doit l'aborder aussi comme une opportunité de développement en misant sur ses immenses ressources en solaire, en éolien, en hydraulique. Rappeler également que cette transition doit être juste. Le mot juste a tout son intérêt. Ça doit guider ce processus, cette transition-là. Donc, elle ne peut pas reposer uniquement sur nos budgets nationaux qui sont déjà très contraints. Donc, cela appelle à une solidarité internationale entre les pays du Nord et les pays du Sud. L'argent reste le nerf de la guerre. Dans un récent rapport, les Nations unies indiquent que 2 000 milliards de dollars ont été investis juste l'année dernière, en 2024, dans les énergies propres, mais que le continent africain n'a quasiment rien touché. Pourquoi l'Afrique reste à la marge. Donc, ce qu'il faut aujourd'hui, c'est à l'échelle internationale, réfléchir sur les mécanismes qui sont adaptés aux réalités du continent, amener aujourd'hui les banques de développement à avoir des mécanismes appropriés pour financer cette transition énergétique, le développement des énergies renouvelables et qu'enfin les pays développés respectent leurs engagements financiers. À lire aussiSommet africain sur le climat: le continent se veut source d'innovation et de solution Est-ce que vous imaginez parfois un système de sanctions pour tous ces pays qui promettent des financements, mais qui au final ne les versent jamais ? Maintenant, on sait comment le système onusien est organisé et structuré. Il est très difficile aujourd'hui de sanctionner ces États-là. Par contre, aujourd'hui, on sait que les citoyens constituent une force incontournable qui demande de la redevabilité à leurs Etats. Je pense qu'on peut s'appuyer sur ces citoyens là pour demander aux Etats de rendre compte, mais surtout aux Etats, de respecter leurs engagements. Est-ce qu'aujourd'hui, on pourrait imaginer ou c'est une utopie ? Les Etats Unis d'Afrique du climat ? Pourquoi est-ce que les Etats ont tant de difficultés à s'accorder, à avoir un vrai impact sur des discussions ou sur des négociations, notamment lors des COP ? Je pense qu'on va tendre vers cela. On n'a pas le choix. Si aujourd'hui l'Afrique veut impacter au niveau des discussions à l'échelle internationale, on doit parler d'une seule et même voix. On doit avoir des positions coordonnées portées par nos leaders politiques. Pourquoi est-il difficile d'avoir ce travail de coordination ? On n'a pas tous le même niveau de développement. Ce sont des aspects également géopolitiques où chaque Etat essaie de se positionner. Un pays, par exemple, qui découvre le pétrole et le gaz, va vouloir forcément l'exploiter, alors que les impacts du réchauffement climatique sont là. Il faudrait qu'à l'échelle de l'Union africaine, que nous arrivions à avoir des politiques au niveau continental très coordonnées, qui puissent impacter durablement nos communautés, mais également qu'au niveau international, dans les débats et dans les discussions, que nous puissions peser. Est-ce que la COP 30 qui va se tenir au mois de novembre au Brésil, Je pense qu'il y a beaucoup de pays africains qui sont sortis très déçus de la COP de l'année dernière à Bakou. Cette COP qui se tient en terre brésilienne, plus précisément en terre amazonienne, c'est une symbolique fort pour les pays en développement, notamment la question des forêts, la question de la taxe carbone et j'espère que les conclusions qui seront issues de la Semaine africaine du climat vont être portées par nos décideurs politiques pour pouvoir impacter les conclusions de la COP de Belem.

The Kenyan government is under mounting pressure from the United States over its close ties with China. Influential lawmakers in Washington are furious over comments made by President William Ruto during a visit to Beijing earlier this year, where he said Kenya and China will be the "architects of a new world order." The remark was particularly upsetting for some in Washington, given Kenya's role as a Major Non-NATO Ally. Aggrey Mutambo, Africa editor at the Nation newspaper, joins Eric & Cobus from Nairobi to discuss how the Kenyan government is responding and what it's doing to maintain stable ties with both major powers.
