Negligent Discharge Friday. Michael now has nunchucks. We're accepting name suggestions. Two names. Because there are two of them. We got into Iran. The strike on the elementary school. Outdated intelligence. The difference between owning a mistake and talking around it. The authorized use of military force and how every administration since 9/11 has abused it. The draft being floated by a president who dodged Vietnam with bone spurs. Gaza and how you fight an enemy embedded in a civilian population. Mandatory service and why two years of serving something bigger than yourself might fix a lot of what's broken. Then Snowden. Hero, villain, or somewhere in between. The surveillance state we already live in. The Patriot Act being one of the most unpatriotic things ever passed. AI deepfakes that take two days and $40 to build. A woman grieving the retirement of her AI boyfriend. And a guy in Kenya getting arrested trying to smuggle 2,200 ants in test tubes through an airport. Enjoy.

Shimmer: The Polka-Dot Zebra by Taraleigh SkywalkerRapha https://www.amazon.com/Shimmer-Polka-Dot-Zebra-Taraleigh-SkywalkerRapha-ebook/dp/B0F2VSS7SC Based on a true-life event, a polka-dot zebra was born in 2019 on the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. Polka-dots being born into a world of stripes–an oddity that has never been seen before. Shimmer is about a zebra that doesn’t even know if she is a real zebra if she doesn’t have stripes like everyone else. She doesn’t fit in and is teased and bullied mercilessly until she eventually forgets her own name. One day a group of bullies push her off a cliff into a muddy bog, where she becomes stuck and comes face-to-face with Blamey, a gigantic crocodile. Blamey refuses to eat Shimmer because she “doesn’t have stripes,” which causes Shimmer to burst into tears that she is not even good enough to be eaten. Blamey, with the help of his flamingo and firefly friends, teaches Shimmer what she is really made of and what really counts. What was seemingly the worst day of Shimmer’s life transforms her. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU. You are a star plucked from the heavens and wrapped in a mud suit. Your inner spirit star was created perfectly. The real you is not mud. You are pure light. Shine.

This week on Sibling Watchery, Bob and Monét recap RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18. After Athena's elimination, they realize that Juicy has sent home her entire drag family. They question whether Athena still had more to show and start predicting who might take Miss Congeniality. The queens face the reading challenge and the “Drag in a Bag” design challenge, and Monét shares how she prepared for the reading challenge on her season. They discuss whether contestants knew which bags to pick, if Kenya is relying too much on the same punchline, and whether Ciara might have sabotaged her bag. On the runway, they review the looks, react to guest judge Iman, and weigh in on Discord's safety pin solution, Jane's scrap dress, and the best looks of the week. Plus, the queens must name who should go home next, and Bob and Monét wonder why Kenya is still lip syncing without knowing the words.

Author Peter Bailey, president of the Prouty Project in Minneapolis, discusses formative travel and life experiences that shaped his leadership work and book, "The Epic of You." He recounts teenage journeys to India and a six-month overland trip across Africa featuring malaria, scarce roads in the Sahara, forged passports, wildlife in Tanzania and Kenya, and a flash flood. He describes early struggles with low self-esteem, addiction and sobriety at 22, risky subway riding, and later adventures like a Wyoming rodeo fall and learning polo at 55. Bailey explains using Joseph Campbell's heroic journey to reframe adversity, details his 13-minute TEDx talk including his wife's cancer “power and purpose” mindset, shares practices on names, mindfulness, and resting, and emphasizes community and discernment amid AI.00:00 Meet Peter Bailey00:33 Early Travel Roots02:04 Six Months Across Africa03:21 Hard Lessons and Journals05:09 Crossing the Sahara08:03 Safari Parks and Floods10:10 Iran Riots at Sixteen13:14 Book Origins and Identity15:25 Subway Demons and Risk16:07 Rodeo Wipeout Story19:34 Learning Polo Later22:01 Outward Bound and Dogsleds24:10 Staying Warm and Prepared25:02 Lonesome Dove Quotes26:32 Prairie Stories and Brotherhood28:02 From Hardship to Heroic Journey28:46 Mapping the Heroic Journey30:45 Leadership Work and Gifts31:11 Crafting the TEDx Talk32:08 Power and Purpose in Cancer33:29 Owning Your Epic Life34:44 Learning from Adversity and Nature36:48 Remembering Names with Intention40:38 Mindfulness over Multitasking42:37 Rest All the Time45:29 Anchoring Mindset in Sports46:55 Everyday Epicness and Service49:26 Next Chapter Aging and AI52:11 Closing Thanks and Farewellhttps://www.peter-bailey.com/“The Epic of You” on Amazon: https://a.co/d/00P4YyVK=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

In this episode, I am in conversation with Dr Christiane Tristl, an economic geographer interested in heterodox economic geography. Their scholarship focuses on big tech companies, digital technologies, marketisation of water and critical agri-food studies. We discuss her book Turning Water into Commodity: Digital Innovation and the Private Sector as Development Agent (Bristol UP, 2025). Dr Tristl's book explores how private sector approaches and digital technologies open up remote regions to permanent arrangements of transnational market-based water supply beyond state sovereignty, which define their users as paying customers. By considering the socio-political realities of these market based interventions in the water sector, Dr Tristl's research spells out for us the increasing influence of private corporations and philanthrocapitalist principles in development cooperation in both rural and peri-urban parts of Kenya.Abhilasha Jain is a social anthropologist trained at the London School of Economics. Her research interests lie at the intersection of caste, gender, spatial and climate justice, legal and critical anthropology. She is a qualitative researcher, curriculum designer and a feminist ethnographer. She has produced and co-hosted an academic podcast in India called AcademiaBTS, to bring graduates and PhD scholars to talk about their work, academic life in India, and to build a community that resonates with students in higher education.   Learn more about your ad choices.

À l'occasion du 8 mars, Journée internationale des droits des femmes, on honore le legs que nous ont laissé nos aînées vagabondes. En feuilletant un album de famille sonore rempli de sacrées grands-mères, de super tantes, mères ou cousines intrépides, qui ont ouvert la voie du monde et du voyage ou continuent de le faire...  De la voyageuse victorienne en jupons à la « backpackeuse » sportive et féministe, il en aura fallu des combats intimes ou collectifs pour que les femmes puissent user de leur droit, leur liberté élémentaire de mouvement : partir d'abord, bouger ensuite, vibrer forcément, écrire parfois, exister en somme !  Aujourd'hui, dans les contrées occidentales, de plus en plus de femmes osent le voyage, qui plus est solo. Ainsi, selon l'Organisation Mondiale du Tourisme, en 2025, elles étaient plus de 40% à voyager seules, soit deux fois plus qu'il y a 15 ans, seulement.  Cette audace- car elle en est encore une- a donc une histoire et un chemin, et nous allons écouter, réécouter ici la trajectoire de certaines de ces voyageuses, d'hier et d'aujourd'hui, qui peuplent nos imaginaires mais aussi cette émission depuis une décennie au moins. Des pionnières Ella Maillart ou Anita Conti au récit encabané de Gabrielle Filteau-Chiba, de l'alpiniste française Liv Sansoz au tour du monde à moto d'Anne-France Dautheville, en passant par les utopies féministes ou les villages bien réels exclusivement composés de femmes au Kenya avec la photographe Nadia Ferroukhi, ces femmes nous éclairent sur les mobilités conquises et la place des femmes dans l'espace public toujours à défendre. Avec l'écrivaine française Lucie Azéma, dont on suit la trajectoire depuis son premier essai féministe « Les femmes aussi sont du voyage, l'émancipation par le départ », publié en 2021 et toujours d'actualité. À lire : - « Une saison à Téhéran » de Lucie Azéma. Éditions Les corps conducteurs. 2026 - « Les femmes aussi sont du voyage, l'émancipation par le départ » de Lucie Azéma. Éditions Points Poche. 2025 - « Nous avons besoin d'un ailleurs qui n'existe pas » de Lucie Azéma. Éditions Champs Flammarion. À écouter : - Notre récit sonore « SF féministe : voyage au-delà des genres » en 2025 - « Le monde est à elles : histoires d'aventurières » en 2019.

Un supplément du Grand reportage aujourd'hui tout à fait spécial, exceptionnel même sur la Russie en Afrique, sa montée en puissance, son influence, ses recrutements de combattants pour l'Ukraine qui ne disent pas leurs noms. Deux Grands reportages sur ce sujet signés François Mazet. Avec la collaboration de nos correspondants en Côte d'Ivoire, au Cameroun, au Kenya, en Afrique du Sud, etc. Des sirènes russes au mouroir ukrainien: les combattants africains de Vladimir Poutine  Ils seraient aujourd'hui entre 3 000 et 4 000. Au fil des mois et d'une guerre qui s'enlise, la Russie a accéléré le recrutement de combattants africains pour son invasion de l'Ukraine. Certains se retrouvent au front en connaissance de cause, d'autres par tromperie persuadés de quitter leur pays pour une place à l'université ou un emploi. Aujourd'hui, le voile se lève sur ce système de recrutement basé sur des agences de voyage et des opérateurs d'influence entre Moscou et le continent africain. Un Grand reportage de François Mazet qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. La Russie en Afrique: une stratégie d'influence en mutation  Soucieuse de continuer à apparaître comme une grande puissance, la Russie a réinvesti le continent africain depuis plusieurs années. Elle s'appuie sur un narratif reprenant celui de l'ancienne Union soviétique. Mais derrière les promesses de fraternité sans frontières, de partage de connaissances et de richesses, se trouvent d'autres objectifs moins avouables, comme le recrutement de combattants pour sa stratégie de chair à canon en Ukraine. Ces dernières années, le soft power, ou l'influence russe, s'est développé et transformé. Un Grand reportage de François Mazet qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

What if the key to saving nature isn't just about science or policy, but love? Love for the land, for the people who depend on it, for the world we leave behind. Artist Elsaphan Njora has journeyed across Kenya witnessing ecosystems vanish, from Indigenous forests to sacred lakes. But he's also seen communities breathing life back into rivers, forests and coasts in creative, unexpected ways — showing that conservation can flourish alongside livelihoods, and that even the most threatened landscapes can be reborn.Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

Anne Ghesquière reçoit Maud Ankaoua, romancière à succès, coach et conférencière. Comment avancer quand l'incertitude nous fige, comment accepter sans se résigner ? Que faire lorsque les réponses ne viennent pas et que l'espoir vacille ? À travers cette histoire bouleversante, Maud Ankaoua nous rappelle que même dans nos plus grandes blessures se cachent les graines de notre renaissance. Une leçon d'espoir et de sagesse. Un voyage initiatique au cœur des paysages africains, mais surtout un profond chemin intérieur, nourri de sagesse ancestrale, de rencontres décisives et d'enseignements clés sur l'attente, l'acceptation, nos choix, le deuil, la résilience et la joie retrouvée. Dans son nouveau roman Tu m'avais promis aux Éditions Eyrolles, Maud Ankaoua nous emmène au Kenya, aux côtés de Gabin et de sa fille Luce, partis sur les traces d'une promesse et d'une disparition restée sans réponse. Épisode #672Quelques citations du podcast avec Maud Ankaoua :"Le problème de l'espoir, c'est que lié à l'espoir, il y a l'attente. Et quand il y a l'attente, il n'y a pas de place pour le reste.""Accepter n'est pas forcément se résigner.""Quoi qu'il puisse nous arriver dans la vie, il y a toujours cette flamme en nous, cette source profonde."À réécouter : #605 Ton bonheur prend racine en toi, au Kilomètre Zéro, avec Maud Ankaoua #357 Maud Ankaoua : Apprendre à s'aimer#78 Maud Ankaoua : Comment savoir si nous sommes à notre juste place ?Recevez chaque semaine l'inspirante newsletter Métamorphose par Anne GhesquièreDécouvrez Objectif Métamorphose, notre programme en 12 étapes pour partir à la rencontre de soi-même.Suivez nos RS : Insta, Facebook & TikTokAbonnez-vous sur Apple Podcast /Spotify / Deezer / CastBox / YoutubeSoutenez Métamorphose en rejoignant la Tribu MétamorphoseThèmes abordés lors du podcast avec Maud Ankaoua :00:00Introduction01:30L'invitée03:50Un voyage fou chez les Maasaï04:45Voyage et processus d'écriture05:43Parler de soi 07:13La force de la relation fraternelle08:45Les enseignements du peuple Maasaï17:06L'impasse de l'espoir20:08Sortir de l'attente et du bug du mental25:24La perspective de l'arbre pour élargir sa vision28:53Oubli et culpabilité32:10Comment renouer avec la joie41:33Accepter n'est pas se résigner45:08Mouvement et changement50:27Les bienfaits de l'incompréhension54:27Vécu et principe du boomerang59:25Un apprentissage continu01:02:35Meute et corps social01:06:50Une relation rare avec son frère01:13:59Un message pour les personnes qui souffrentAvant-propos et précautions à l'écoute du podcast Photo © Olivier Seignette Hébergé par Acast.

Carol Nekesa doesn't know if she was ever infected by parasitic worms. But it's likely, she says, since most kids in her community had them. “It was just a normal part of childhood,” she says. Carol grew up in the 1980s in a rural village in Busia County, Kenya. Like many regions in Sub-Saharan Africa at the time, Busia lacked the infrastructure for clean water and modern sanitation, leading to the pervasive spread of infectious diseases. Parents feared deadly outbreaks like malaria and cholera, often unaware of the slower, hidden damage caused by intestinal worms. The symptoms — fatigue, diarrhea, weight loss, stunted growth — rarely made headlines, yet they shaped children's futures. At the time, more than a billion people worldwide, most of them children, were living with these infections, making parasitic worms one of the most widespread chronic health conditions on the planet.In 1998, two researchers — Ted Miguel, who is now an economics professor at UC Berkeley, and future Nobel laureate Michael Kremer — launched the Primary School Deworming Project in Busia. They had no idea that their work would become a global model proving just how much a healthy childhood matters — not just for kids in the study, but for generations to come.“It's kind of mind-blowing to be a researcher and know that your research is being cited and used as a justification for these large-scale programs,” says Miguel. “It's amazing to see.”Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts/berkeley-voices).Music by Blue Dot Sessions.Photo courtesy of Ted Miguel.

"We ultimately are trying to level the playing field for independent brands to be able to sell into big major retailers."On this episode of Limitless Africa, we're looking at how African businesses can sell to US customers. If you're a homeware brand in Togo, or a clean beauty maker in South Africa or a jewelry manufacturer in Kenya, how can you get your product to American customers, those consumers shopping on Target, Etsy or Bloomingdale's? And it's not a one-way street: those American retailers are also looking to stock amazing African homeware, accessories, lotions and potions - they are crying out for high quality products that are unique, and will delight their customers.That's where amazing entrepreneurs like Ella Pienovich come in. She's the co-founder behind PoweredByPeople, a multi-channel distribution platform that connects independent brands to over 100 million customers across more than 200 leading online retailers & marketplaces. Ella is opening up huge new markets, and offering digital innovation to African entrepreneurs.Plus: How clean beauty is the next trend.

Pastor Endashaw Kelkele joins LEAD Pods for a wide-ranging conversation about immigrant church leadership, mission, and faith shaped by perseverance.Endashaw is the lead pastor of the Ethiopian Evangelical Church of Denver, where he has served for more than three decades. He shares his story of growing up in Ethiopia during a time of Christian persecution, fleeing to Kenya, and eventually immigrating to Colorado—where he never expected to become a pastor, but felt God's clear call to shepherd a growing community.The conversation explores what it's like to lead a bilingual, multicultural church navigating generational change, shifting language, and cultural tension. Endashaw reflects on the challenges and opportunities of serving first- and second-generation immigrants, raising up young leaders, and helping the church remain centered on the mission of Christ rather than control or comfort.Along the way, he offers wisdom for pastors and church leaders serving in diverse communities, insights into evangelism through everyday work, and encouragement for churches seeking to come alongside immigrant congregations with humility, trust, and partnership.

It's Witness Wednesday! Join Todd Friel on campus at Kennesaw State University to discuss Jesus Christ, His gospel and THE truth - not my truth, or your truth, but the truth - Jesus Christ himself. Prepare to be challenged and encouraged as real, every day beliefs are put to the test of biblical truth. Segment 1 • Luke says truth is “whatever works for you.” Todd presses the logic: if truth is personal, could someone justify harming children if it benefits them? • The conversation exposes the collapse of moral relativism—without an objective authority, right and wrong become mere preferences. • Todd asks the ultimate courtroom question: If Luke stood before God today, why should he be forgiven? Segment 2 • Luke wrestles with a common college dilemma: If people grow up in different religions, how can anyone claim Christianity is the truth? • Todd argues that truth ends the search—if Jesus truly rose from the dead, competing worldviews are eliminated. • Luke admits he's still searching, prompting Todd to explain why the gospel uniquely answers life's biggest questions. Segment 3 • Malcolm confidently says he believes in God and purpose—but struggles to explain why someone else should believe the gospel. • Todd walks him through a simple apologetic: complex design points to a Creator and a moral lawgiver. • The conversation pivots to the core issue: if we are guilty before a holy God, how can justice be satisfied? Segment 4 • Kenya believes good people go to God by doing right and asking forgiveness—but Todd presses the problem: would a just judge simply overlook crimes? • Through careful questions, Todd helps Kenya see why Jesus' death is necessary for God to forgive sinners without ignoring justice. • The conversation ends with the most urgent question: If someone were about to die, what must they do right now to be saved? ___ Thanks for listening!

It's Wednesday, March 4th, 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 Jonathan Clark and Timothy Reed Pray for the Middle East Please pray for Christians in the Middle East as tensions rise in the region. Christian communities, like those in Iran, are especially vulnerable during times of escalating violence. Regina Lynch with Aid to the Church in Need warned, “The longing for freedom and dignity among peoples in the region is legitimate. But the price of renewed war could be extremely high. Civilians always suffer most, and Christians are often among the most defenseless.”  U.S.-Iranian conflict might last four weeks U.S. President Donald Trump recently said the conflict with Iran may continue over the next four weeks. The United States and Israel carried out sweeping airstrikes against the country over the weekend. The American death toll in the conflict reached six troops as of Monday.  The U.S. State Department is urging Americans to leave over a dozen countries in the Middle East. Those include Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Israel.   Supreme Court rules against radical transgender policy The U.S. Supreme Court ruled against California's pro-transgender school policy on Monday. The policy allowed public school officials to keep the gender confusion of students from their parents. Worse than that, school officials even helped students “transition” without their parents knowledge.  Paul Jonna, Special Counsel at Thomas More Society, commented, “The Court's landmark . . . vindication of religious liberty . . . [sets] an historic precedent that will dismantle secret gender transition policies across the country.” The State of the Unborn: GOP should not leave fight to states The pro-life movement is continuing strong, but not without its challenges. That's according to Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser in her “State of the Unborn” address.  Listen to her thoughts on why the fight for life must continue. DANNENFELSER: “Now consider the great battles the pro-life movement has won after over a half a century of struggle:  electing a pro-life president, confirming the Supreme Court justices who would reverse Roe v Wade with the Dobbs decision, and restore the right to uphold the 14th Amendment's equal protection promise in the law.  "The handcuffs are off. We are free to protect the human rights of people. We live in a fresh moment filled with hope for our children, and yet, there are now more abortions than before Dobbs -- at least 1.1 million a year.  "More than 60% of those deaths are caused by abortion drugs, and that's more than fentanyl, cocaine and heroin related deaths combined. Abortion is the number one cause of death in the United States of America.” Dannenfelser went on to challenge the Republican Party. She said, “The current GOP strategy of leaving this issue to the states clearly does not work. Twenty pro-life states can't even enforce their laws because of mail-order abortion drugs.” Proverbs 31:9 says, “Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” Trump's Transportation Dept: No illegals allowed commercial licenses Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is imposing new rules in order for truckers to obtain a Commercial Driver's License. This comes as the Trump administration continues to fight illegal immigration, including within the trucking industry, where illegal drivers have killed a number of Americans. Duffy laid out his expectations for U.S. commercial drivers. DUFFY: “This is not politics that we're playing here. We can have a debate about whether Joe Biden had an open border or Donald Trump shut down and secured the border. That's a different debate. “The debate really is, ‘Do you want well-trained, well-qualified drivers behind the wheel of a big rig driving on American roads?' It's very simple. I think the answer is: Every single American, no matter what your political stripes are, doesn't are, that's exactly what you want. “That's what you would expect from the federal government and the state government. To a greater extent, I think we need our states to say, ‘Listen, we can be good partners.'” Truckers will now be required to take their Commercial Driver's License test in English. Plus, many states have worked hard with the federal government to take reckless truck drivers off the roads. YouVersion Bible app sees high engagement in Kenya, Nigeria, & South Africa And finally, the Bible app YouVersion launched its latest regional hub in Kenya last week.  The Bible app is seeing strong growth across countries in Africa. Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa rank among the top countries for daily Bible engagement, not just in Africa but also the world.  YouVersion CEO and founder Bobby Gruenewald told Christian Daily International, “Some people have predicted that Africa would become the center of global Christianity. From what we're seeing, I think it already is.” Isaiah 11:9 says, “The earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, March 4th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

National Geographic photographer and filmmaker Ami Vitale joins Jennifer and Kati to explore how visual storytelling can transform conservation narratives, from documenting the last northern white rhinos to centering indigenous voices in climate solutions.  After a decade covering global conflicts, Ami discovered environmental breakdown was at the heart of human suffering, leading her to reimagine how we tell nature's stories. Through her nonprofit Vital Impacts, which has raised more than $5 million for conservation, she demonstrates why hope isn't soft but strategic, and why the real question isn't whether local voices are included, but “who's holding the microphone and who's benefiting?'  Learn how Kenya's community-led conservation turned around rhino extinction, why we need to get comfortable with discomfort, and how finding joy in tragedy becomes an act of resistance against apathy.

Soucieuse de continuer à apparaître comme une grande puissance, la Russie a réinvesti le continent africain depuis plusieurs années. Elle s'appuie sur un narratif reprenant celui de l'ancienne Union soviétique. Mais derrière les promesses de fraternité sans frontières, de partage de connaissances et de richesses, se trouvent d'autres objectifs moins avouables, comme le recrutement de combattants pour sa stratégie de chair à canon en Ukraine. Ces dernières années, le soft power, ou l'influence russe, s'est développé et transformé. C'est un studio de musique d'Abidjan où se tient un concours de chant discret, auquel assiste notre correspondant Benoit Almeras. On chante en anglais et en français, Alicia Keys, Garou, Lara Fabbian… Mais pour les candidats, l'horizon n'est pas New York ou Paris, c'est Moscou. L'enjeu de ce casting vocal : une participation au festival « La route de Yalta ». Organisé pour la première fois en 2019 dans cette station balnéaire de Crimée occupée, bien connue des amateurs d'histoire, il a désormais lieu au Kremlin, dans la capitale. On y célèbre les classiques russes et la « Grande guerre patriotique », comprendre la Seconde guerre mondiale. Une époque très lointaine pour ces candidats, jeunes et plus attirés par le voyage et la recherche de notoriété. Un des participants explique sa présence par « le fait que ce soit en Russie, un pays que je n'ai jamais imaginé découvrir. Ce serait aussi un tremplin pour moi et j'espère aussi que mon pays va reconnaître mon talent ». Pour voir Moscou, certains veulent se donner toutes les chances, comme ce candidat qui pousse l'hymne russe a capella. Lors de l'édition 2025, c'est un artiste ivoirien qui a représenté l'Afrique, et pas n'importe lequel : Emmanuel Désiré Boyer dit « Vova », vainqueur de l'édition 2024 de « The Voice Afrique Francophone ». À « La route de Yalta », il a été récompensé du prix du public pour Katyusha, chant patriotique de l'Armée Rouge, interprété en langue dioula. À l'origine de la participation de Vova, et de ce casting, Eben-Ezer Dion, coach vocal pour The Voice Afrique francophone. Ses liens avec la Russie remontent à plus de 20 ans : « J'ai étudié en Russie, je suis allé là-bas pour des études en musique, à l'Académie Gnessine, qui est une académie très prestigieuse là-bas. C'est après ça que je suis rentré au pays, et voici que je prends des initiatives pour faire avancer la musique en Côte d'Ivoire. Si vous voulez, c'est un prolongement, une manière de contribuer à l'action culturelle de la Russie dans l'Afrique francophone. C'est ce qu'on essaie de faire en partenariat avec l'association. » Festival de chants pour soutenir l'annexion forcée de la Crimée Cette association, c'est l'Aruci, Association des russophones de Côte d'Ivoire, créée en 2021. Sa présidente, Tatiana Rakitina assure qu'elle ne fait pas de politique : « Pour nous, c'est plutôt une opportunité pour la Côte d'Ivoire de sortir à l'étranger, de conquérir de nouveaux spectateurs. C'est plutôt un événement professionnel des amateurs de musique plus qu'un événement idéologique. » Pourtant, le festival de Yalta vise aussi à faire reconnaître la souveraineté russe sur la péninsule de Crimée, annexée de force par la Russie en 2014. Mais pour Tatiana Rakitina, comme pour le gouvernement de Moscou qui dénonce souvent la « russophobie » occidentale, c'est bien l'image de la Russie qui est attaquée. Bien qu'en Afrique, elle demeure positive selon elle : « Je peux vous dire que le visage de la Russie était bien brillant et souriant il y a quelques années. Maintenant, il y a dans certains pays une tendance à vouloir éliminer la culture russe ou diminuer sa valeur. Mais pas en Afrique. L'Afrique n'a jamais changé [envers la Russie]. » L'Aruci est aussi une organisation partenaire des Maisons russes. Officiellement des centres culturels, elles ont essaimé sur le continent, selon Lou Osborne, investigatrice du groupe All Eyes on Wagner : « On a vu une accélération de la diplomatie culturelle depuis 2024, avec une multiplication de l'ouverture de ces centres. Leur modèle est novateur : l'État russe ne peut aller aussi vite qu'il le voudrait, donc il a délégué une partie de ces ouvertures et de la gestion à des sociétés non-étatiques, ça leur permet d'aller plus vite. On remarque que c'est notamment là que se passe la partie la plus offensive du soft power, on dépasse la promotion de Pouchkine et de la langue russe. » La diplomatie culturelle russe a une tête de pont, c'est la Rossotrudnichestvo, un organisme officiel du ministère des Affaires étrangères russes, dirigé par Evgueni Primakov Junior, un très proche de Vladimir Poutine. C'est là notamment que se gèrent les bourses pour les étudiants africains, explique le chercheur sénégalais Ibrahima Dabo, lui-même passé par une université russe : « C'est à partir des années 2000 que la Russie a commencé à avoir des intérêts sur le continent africain. Dans ce contexte, des outils de l'époque soviétique ont été réadaptés. Rossotrudnichestvo a été créée en 2008 par un décret du président Dmitri Medvedev, mais c'est l'héritière d'une agence née en 1925 autour de la sœur de Léon Trotski. Cette agence est au cœur aujourd'hui des actions culturelles et humanitaires sur le continent, elle travaille avec des associations locales, notamment des réseaux d'anciens étudiants. La diplomatie éducative est devenue très importante. Rossotrudnichestvo gère les bourses d'étude, ce qui permet de développer son influence, et de donner une image d'ouverture, de montrer une bonne image de la Russie, des conditions d'accueil, de la qualité de l'enseignement. » Moscou a accéléré ses opportunités pour des milliers d'étudiants africains. Au Sénégal par exemple, on est passé de moins de 20 à 130 bourses en quelques années, selon Ibrahima Drabo. Saint-Valentin à la Maison russe, relais médiatiques et influenceurs Derrière Rossotrudnichestvo, certaines Maisons russes ont été montées comme des « franchises » dans l'écosystème Wagner, comme à Bangui, en Centrafrique, dont les canaux de communication multiplient les images d'enfants et de jeunes épanouis, devant des documentaires officiels russes, des films d'action à la gloire du groupe paramilitaire russe, durant des cours de russe, ou encore dernièrement lors d'une grande fête en chanson pour la Saint-Valentin. Son directeur, Dimitri Sityi, est conseiller du président centrafricain Faustin-Archange Touadéra, gestionnaire d'entreprises qui extraient or, diamant et bois, et à la manœuvre de multiples campagnes informationnelles anti-françaises, anti-américaines ou anti-Nations Unies. À Bangui, la Maison russe est devenue un lieu de socialisation, notamment pour des jeunes de milieu peu favorisés. On y fête Noël, on y candidate au championnat de slam, on y trouve aussi à prix modique les sachets d'alcool produits localement par Wagner. À lire aussiPlongée dans la machine de désinformation russe en Centrafrique   Avec les médias comme Russia Today, de plus en plus présents sur le continent (Éthiopie, Sénégal), ou des organisations satellites comme Afrique média ou la radio Lengo songo en Centrafrique, ces centres culturels servent à véhiculer l'image d'une Russie ouverte, bienveillante, à l'opposé d'une Europe présentée comme décadente et xénophobe, voir tout simplement nazie. Un récit repris par un nombre grandissant d'influenceurs africains installés en Russie, valorisés par les algorithmes des réseaux sociaux, comme « l'Ivoirorusse ». « La Russie, c'est bien, j'exhorte tout le monde a visité la grande Russie de Poutine. C'est une très grande expérience », dit-il à ces plusieurs centaines de milliers de suiveurs sur TikTok, se félicitant de « commencer à oublier des mots de français ». Coiffé de sa chapka, « l'Ivoirorusse » est aussi un des promoteurs du programme Alabuga start qui permet officiellement à des jeunes femmes d'obtenir des formations et des diplômes dans cette zone économique spéciale du Tatarstan. Plusieurs enquêtes ont montré une réalité bien différente, et des mécanismes de « traites d'êtres humains », selon l'ONU. Le nouvel écosystème russe met en valeur les coopérations académiques avec la Russie et des opportunités de recrutement, dont on sait qu'elles peuvent conduire des jeunes hommes sur le front en Ukraine, et des jeunes femmes dans des usines de drones. « Ces réseaux de recrutement sont une nouvelle facette du soft power, ça permet à la Russie de façonner l'image donnée dans ces pays-là », analyse Lou Osborne, de All Eyes On Wagner. « C'est une Russie d'opportunités, pour une meilleure vie. Il y a une industrialisation de l'influence russe, avec une multiplication de canaux, un effort total médiatique, culturel, et des services de sécurité, au service de cette influence », ajoute-t-elle. Avec l'Église orthodoxe, « l'alliance du missel et du missile » La Russie loue les vertus présentées comme patriotiques et familiales, qui seraient les siennes et que partageraient les Africains. Pour cela, quoi de mieux que de se placer sous l'autorité divine, via sa propre église, l'Église orthodoxe russe, autonome depuis le schisme consécutif à l'invasion de l'Ukraine, et qui n'hésite pas à mettre les moyens pour attirer les clercs. À écouter aussiCentrafrique: à Bangui, une église orthodoxe financée par la Russie   Comme au Cameroun, où Monseigneur Grégoire, métropolite orthodoxe grec, a vu avec surprise une église russe concurrente autorisée promptement par les autorités, quand lui a mis plus de cinq années à voir la sienne reconnue : « Ici, l'église russe n'a rien fait à part promettre à quelques prêtres de notre église qu'ils allaient leur donner de l'argent, plus que l'aide pastorale que nous distribuons chaque mois. Ils ont fait beaucoup de promesses : construire les églises, des écoles, donner des bourses aux prêtres, acheter des voitures. Mais jusque-là, ils n'ont rien fait à part louer une salle pour en faire une église. Ils ont envoyé quelques personnes à Moscou pour un séminaire de théologie, mais ils ont vu que le niveau de théologie et d'éducation est bien loin du niveau universitaire. Mais ils leur ont dit : "Ok, vous êtes prêts à rentrer en Afrique accomplir votre mission". Mais quel type de mission ? » Cette diplomatie religieuse n'est pas neutre, car l'église orthodoxe n'est pas une église comme une autre. Elle est étroitement imbriquée dans le pouvoir russe et le Kremlin, comme l'expliquait récemment sur RFI l'historien spécialiste du monde orthodoxe, Jean-François Colossimo : « C'est une progression opportuniste. Partout où il y a un clergé achetable, cette pseudo-église agit. Plus on monte dans la hiérarchie, plus elle est contaminée par le FSB [les services de renseignement russes, NDLR] et aux mains du Kremlin et de Poutine. L'Église russe n'a jamais été pensée comme une église internationale. Donc, si elle va en Afrique, c'est pour offrir le monde orthodoxe africain à Poutine. Ce sont eux qui bénissent la mère. L'Église bénie cette guerre, c'est l'alliance du missel et du missile. » À lire aussiCameroun: l'Église orthodoxe russe autorisée à exercer, un pas de plus de Moscou sur le continent   Selon des médias russes en exil, l'église orthodoxe du Kenya aurait participé au recrutement trompeur de combattants pour la guerre en Ukraine. Par ailleurs, plusieurs centaines de séminaristes seraient aujourd'hui en formation en Russie, selon une bonne source, qui parle de « projet à long terme » pour Moscou qui se voit comme « la troisième Rome ». Une montée du soft power russe que constate l'ambassadeur de l'Ukraine à Nairobi, Yurii Tokarx. « L'influence russe et les mesures qu'ils prennent sont très sérieuses et fortes. Il a récemment été publié que le budget de leur machine de propagande s'élevait à 1,5 milliard de dollars. Et, bien sûr, une grande partie de cette somme est destinée à l'Afrique », a-t-il affirmé à notre correspondante à Nairobi Albane Thirouard : « Cela s'accompagne d'opérations informationnelles très sophistiquées. Ils sont également présents sur les plateformes utilisées par les jeunes générations. Ils travaillent intensivement dans le but de pénétrer les pays grâce à ce qu'on appelle le soft power. Il est bien connu que des structures comme Rossotrudnichestvo ainsi que l'Église russe cherchent à s'implanter progressivement au sein des sociétés africaines. Mais comme on a pu le constater par la suite, cela peut évoluer vers des problèmes plus graves pour ces pays. Tous les pays ne comprennent pas ce qui est en train de se passer. Nous, nous avons une arme puissante que nous appelons la vérité, et nous essayons de nous battre avec les moyens dont nous disposons. Leur machine de propagande, elle, combat souvent avec des mensonges. » Au Kenya, la multiplication des témoignages sur les recrutements contraints pour la guerre en Ukraine a écorné l'image de la Russie. Reste à voir si cette réalité viendra enrayer le rouleau-compresseur de l'influence et de la communication mis en marche par Moscou. Le 25 février, l'Université de Nairobi a lancé un Centre africain pour l'étude de la Russie, en présence de l'ambassadeur russe. À lire aussiQui sont les Africains qui combattent pour la Russie?

Left to itself, a fire tends to burn out. Throughout the Bible, believers are urged to keep their spiritual fervor red hot, like Paul encouraged Timothy to "fan into flame" his spiritual passion. Life and all its challenges take a toll on a warm heart. More than just giving us a challenge, the Word gives us a clear path to a heart that's hot for Jesus.---Dave Engbrecht served as NMC's Senior Pastor for over 40 years.

Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Idadi ya watu na Afya ya Uzazi UNFPA nchini Kenya kwa kushirikiana na Muungano wa Ulaya wanatekeleza mradi wa kukomesha ukeketaji ambapo waathirika wanatumika kutoa elimu kwa mabinti na jamii ili kuondokana na mila hiyo potofu. Kaunti ya Marsabit , iliyoko Kaskazini mwa nchi ya Kenya, iko mpakani na nchi ya Ethiopia. Kaunti hii ambayo ni ya pili kwa ukubwa nchini Kenya baada ya ile ya Turkana wakazi wake wengi ni wafugaji, na mbali na changamoto za mabadiliko ya tabianchi wanawake wa hapa wamepitia masahibu ya ukeketaji au kwa lugha ya kiingerza Female genital mutilation (FGM). Audio fileShirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Idadi ya Watu na Afya ya Uzazi, (UNFPA) chini ya Ufadhili kutoka Muungano wa Ulaya nchini Kenya wanatekeleza mradi uitwao Komesha FGM SASA Kila muathirika wa ukeketaji anayo hadithi ya kusimulia na ndio maana kwa namna ya kipekee mradi huu unawatumia waathirika hao, kuwaelimisha wanajamii wenzao ili kuondokana na tamaduni ya ukeketaji. Prisca Lekuraki ni mmoja wao. “Mimi nilipitia magumu sana, baada ya kukeketwa nilipata shida sana, ni Mungu ndio amenisaidia mpaka nimefika hapa. Nilipoenda kujifungua mtoto wangu wa kwanza nilipata shida sana, kila nikienda kuzaa nikawa napitia shida sana, sasa hivi nina watoto watatu na nikajifunga nisizae tena. Niliona vile nimeumia nikasema siwezi kukubali binti yangu naye aumie hivyo. Na hiyo ndio ilinifanya niamke niungane na wengine kuhamasisha kukataa ukeketaji.”Ameongeza kuwa katika tamaduni zao wanamila nyingi nzuri sana na wanaweza kuziendeleza na kuachana na hii mila moja ya ukeketaji kwani ni mbaya na inamadhara. Prisca amepongeza mradi wa Komesha FGM SASA wa UNFPA kwa kuwasaidia kuwafikia wale ambao awali ilikuwa ni vigumu kuzungumza nao.“Kuna mahali wametufikisha na tumeona mafanikio, hapo awali tulikuwa tunaweza kwenda kwa wamama, vijana na watoto ila wale watu ambao ilikuwa inatushinda kuwafikia ilikuwa ni wazee. Lakini hii kukutana na wazee, wamama na wanakijiji kwa ujumla imesaidia, kwasababu nilikutana na wakina mama wakaniambia ile kitu mlikuwa mnasema tumeona ni uhalisia na tumeona inaweza kufanyika.”Mwingine aliyeathirika na ukeketaji ni Nasarai Learo anasema ukeketaji umechukua nguvu zake.“Mimi sina nguvu kama yule mama ambaye hajakeketwa, nilienda kuwaambia wamama wasikekete watoto wao, lakini wakaniambia wananifahamu na nilipoolewa nilkuwa mdogo sana na wao ndio walionishika nikatetetwe nikiwa mdogo. Lakini mimi niliwaeleza mimi sikuwa najua hiki kitu ni kibaya lakini sasa hivi nimekuwa na elimu na nimejua ubaya wake.”Nasarai anaamini kuwa iwapo jamii itapata elimu basi itabadilika“Jamii yetu sanasana haina elimu, tukiona jamii yetu watu wachache ndio wamesoma na wengi wakisoma watapata hiyo elimu zaidi na watakuja kuikomesha FGM. Mimi naamini kwamba miaka 10 inayokuja mambo ya kukeketa wasichana hatutasikia tena.” Elimu ya kutokomeza ukeketaji inatolewa katika maeneo mbalimbali ikiwemo masokoni, katika vikao vya jumuiya na mashuleni. 

Miongoni mwa utakayo yasikia hii leo jaridani ni mzozo huko Mashariki ya Kati baada ya Israel na Marekani kuishambulia Iran na kisha Iran kujibu mashambulizi. Sasa nchi jirani nazo zimeathirika ikiwemo Lebanon ambapo sasa UNHCR inatoa msaada kwa wananchi. Zikiwa ni siku chache kabla ya Siku ya wanawake duniani tarehe 08 Machi, leo utasikilia simulizi ya mwanamke aliyekuwa akifanyiwa ukatili na mume wake na msaada aliopokea kutoka WLAC. Katika masuala hayo hayo ya wanawake tutasikia wanawake wa Masrabit wanavyoelimisha wenzao kukataa ukeketaji kupitia mradi wa UNFPA nchini Kenya

At least 24 African countries have signed controversial bilateral health agreements with the United States under Donald Trump's new aid strategy, while others, including Zimbabwe, have rejected it. Supporters say it gives governments more control over their health systems, but critics question accountability, data protection and continued US influence. We unpack what the deal means and why it's dividing opinion across the continent.And as the world marks World Hearing Day, we turn to the 40 million people across Africa living with hearing loss. With sign language officially recognised in only four countries- South Africa, Uganda, Kenya and Zimbabwe, we head to Nairobi, where a young tech startup is using AI to translate spoken and written English into sign language in real time.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producer: Keikantse Shumba and Dingindaba Buyoya Technical Producer: Jonathan Mwangi Senior Producers: Bella Twine and Blessing Aderogba Editors: Samuel Murunga and Maryam Abdalla

I'm back with another fortnightly In My Opinion episode - sharing running observations, Q&A and personal updates. Train with Matt: https://sweatelitecoaching.com/matt-fox/ Private Podcast Feed + Discord: https://www.sweatelite.co/shareholders/ Contact: matt@sweatelite.co Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattinglisfox/ Strava Training Log: https://www.strava.com/athletes/6248359 I recorded this ramble episode from Phuket during a 10-day Thailand and Bali trip where I've been catching up with friends while doing some work. Part of the trip included visiting Thanyapura Sports Resort to see if it might work as a future Globe Runners Asia training camp location. I talk about some of the longevity content from Brian Johnson and walk through his "eight steps" framework - doing hard things, building a bedtime routine, starting the day with purpose, future-proofing your body, treating food like medicine, killing distractions, removing isolation, and avoiding motivational garbage. From there I discuss Ben Felton racing two half marathons on consecutive weekends and use it as a jumping off point to talk about training and racing more by feel rather than being overly dependent on rigid pacing data. I also cover the Tokyo Marathon, including frustrations with the race tracking app and a breakdown of Jake Barraclough's Tokyo build - his high mileage approach, injury concerns, livestreams during the build up, race plan doubts, and the eventual DNF. I mention other performances from the weekend including Nick Bester running 2:25 and highlight SECA member Merna finishing Tokyo while fasting during Ramadan. Later in the episode I bring back Workouts of the Week with sessions for the 5K/10K, half marathon and marathon, read some hate mail, discuss emails about GLP-1 weight loss drugs and how they might affect fueling for endurance athletes, share Mark from Finland's perspective on the doping crisis in Kenya, and finish by answering a question about Luke's approach to the marathon.

Celebrities like Olivia Colman, Emma Thompson, Judi Dench, and Cynthia Nixon campaign to import Egyptian activist Alaa Abdel Fattah — who hates Britain — via citizenship loopholes. We uncover Sadi Khan's C40 Cities role piloting UN "sustainable" schemes: Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, 15-minute cities, gridlock, crime spikes, and rewilding stunts like London beavers. Plus: UK sanctuary cities backed by dark money promoting open borders; universities and Commonwealth voting nudged for left-wing gains; deputy mayor Meti Kouban's fake football past and youth vote-buying charity; outrageous National Lottery waste on trans "Squirrel Friends," sperm-donor shows, Kenya disability dance, and more woke box-ticking.

We meet two women who have forged an unconventional friendship after meeting by chance more than four years ago. Neena found Carol's lost subway card in New York and they went on to build a close intergenerational bond. They say their 58 year age gap allows them to learn from each other, slow down and appreciate what's important.Also: How decades of work have brought giant tortoises back to an island in the Galapagos for the first time in nearly two hundred years. The Floreana Tortoise became extinct after the arrival of humans, but now dozens of young reptiles bred from a closely related species have been released there.Across the Pacific, we meet the Gen Z women working to restore damaged coral reefs on an Indonesian archipelago. The underwater gardeners recover broken fragments and help them grow.Plus, the science behind why getting out into nature can boost our well being; the veterans reunited more than eighty years after they fought together in World War Two; and how an unwanted bike in Scotland has opened up new possibilities for para-cyclists in Kenya.Our weekly collection of inspiring, uplifting and happy news from around the world.Photo: Neena and Carol, who became friends after Neena returned Carol's lost subway card.

This week on Sibling Watchery, Bob and Monét recap Drag Race Season 18, Episode 8, Snatch Game of Love Island. The queens are still shaken from Dita's elimination, while Discord seems to be living in a completely different reality. They question whether Drag Race curses are real, break down the difference between impersonation and just doing a number, and discuss if character choices reveal a queen's personality. They ask whether Snatch Game should only feature celebrities, whether the format has lost its edge, and if using marginalization as a punchline ever works. They review the strongest and weakest performances and assess Kenya's standing in the competition. On the runway, they critique the 80s-inspired looks, try their own JoJo Siwa impressions, and debate whether Brooke Shields is a supermodel. Plus, updated Top 3 predictions and who they think is taking the crown. Thanks to our sponsors: -Take the first step.
