Ballet, a centuries-old form of European dance, is flourishing in one of Africa's largest informal settlements. In Kibera, Kenya, we follow aspiring young dancers as they prepare for their biggest performance yet. Amid the pirouettes, jumps and lifts, Carolyne Kiambo discovers how ballet is helping these young Kenyans beyond the stage.

From April 4, 2023: Russia's invasion of Ukraine has tested the international legal order like never before. For many, the fact that a nuclear power and member of the U.N. Security Council would commit unveiled aggression against another state seemed like it might be the death knell of the international system as we know it. But last week, in the annual Breyer Lecture on International Law at the Brookings Institution, Oona Hathaway, the Gerard C. and Bernice Latrobe Professor of International Law at Yale Law School, argued that international law and institutions responded more robustly than many initially anticipated—and may yet emerge from the Ukraine conflict stronger than before.In this episode, we are bringing you the audio of Professor Hathaway's lecture, followed by a question and answer session with Constanze Stelzenmüller, the Director of the Center on the United States and Europe and the inaugural holder of the Fritz Stern Chair on Germany and trans-Atlantic Relations at the Brookings Institution. Lawfare Senior Editor Scott R. Anderson then moderated a panel discussion that included Professor Hathaway, as well as Professor Rosa Brooks of Georgetown University Law Center; Karin Landgren, the Executive Director of Security Council Report; and Ambassador Martin Kimani, Kenya's Permanent Representative to the United Nations.

And so, in terms of that scale, last year we certified US$100million of support going from these companies to environmental partners….When a company joins, they pay a dues fee to us, but then the rest of their 1%, they will give directly to environmental partners….And then at the end of each year, we certify that giving." ate Williams on Electric Ladies Podcast This time of year we are likely making donations, but this episode is about a creative way to make a bigger difference – and all year long with the normal stuff you buy.

Au Soudan, l'année 2025 a été encore plus sanglante que les deux années précédentes. Après bientôt trois années de guerre, on estime que 150 000 personnes ont été tuées. Et dans les deux camps, du côté du président du Conseil de souveraineté de transition le général al-Burhan comme du côté du général Hemedti, les soutiens extérieurs se livrent une compétition de plus en plus féroce. C'est le cas notamment de l'Arabie saoudite et des Émirats arabes unis. Roland Marchal est chercheur à Sciences Po Paris et il pense que la toute récente reconnaissance du Somaliland par Israël n'arrange rien. Il s'en explique au micro de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Est-ce qu'on peut dire qu'au Soudan, l'année 2025 a été encore pire que les deux années précédentes ? Roland Marchal : Elle a été pire en effet, dans la mesure où des batailles stratégiques se sont menées et ont été gagnées par un camp ou l'autre et ont beaucoup plus impliqué la population civile, qui a payé un prix très élevé, non seulement en termes de déplacement, mais directement dans les combats qui étaient menés. Oui, tout à fait. Et on parle de 150 000 morts depuis deux ans et demi. Le début de cette année 2025 a été marqué par des succès des Forces armées soudanaises, notamment à Khartoum et la fin de l'année par des victoires des Forces de soutien rapide, notamment à El-Fasher. Est-ce à dire qu'il n'y a pas un camp plus fort que l'autre ? Je crois qu'on est arrivé dans une situation où, grâce aux appuis internationaux qui ont été mobilisés par chacun des protagonistes, disons, il y a une espèce d'équivalence stratégique, c'est-à-dire que la modernité des armes octroyées à un camp est contrée par de nouvelles livraisons de l'autre côté, ce qui évidemment pose des questions importantes sur les enjeux véritables d'une guerre qui est fondamentalement soudanaise, mais qui aujourd'hui renvoie à des compétitions régionales qui sont en train de monter aux extrêmes, sans commune mesure avec ce que la population souffre. Quel est le fond de la querelle entre le président Abdel Fattah al-Burhan et le général Hemedti, qui appartiennent tous deux à la communauté arabe du Soudan ? Alors d'abord, sur cette question ethnique, je crois que le Soudan, depuis son indépendance, n'a jamais été en paix et que l'armée soudanaise a été fondamentalement une armée de guerre civile, c'est-à-dire réprimant des populations à l'intérieur des frontières nationales du Soudan. Ça a été pendant très longtemps les Sud-Soudanais qui étaient partie intégrante jusqu'en 2011, mais aussi la région du Nil Bleu, et puis évidemment le Darfour et le Kordofan dont on parle plus aujourd'hui. Donc il y a une question sur pourquoi cela ? Et la thèse qu'il faudrait affiner, évidemment, est d'expliquer que les classes dirigeantes et l'État soudanais fonctionnent largement au profit des groupes arabes qui sont de la vallée du Nil et de Khartoum, contre tout le reste. Et de ce point de vue-là, un Arabe du Darfour ne vaut pas plus qu'un Zaghawa ou qu'un Four du Darfour qui ne sont pas arabes, dans la mesure où simplement, régionalement, ils sont considérés comme des périphéries, donc qui n'ont pas vocation à faire partie de l'élite politique, militaire et économique du pays. Et les chefs Zaghawas du Darfour, Jibril Ibrahim et Minni Minnawi, étaient alliés aux Forces armées soudanaises contre le général Hemedti. Qu'est-ce qu'ils deviennent depuis la prise d'El-Fasher par Hemedti ? Alors il faut rappeler que ces groupes militaires avaient été défaits notamment par les Forces de soutien rapide, mais que, en 2019, lorsque le gouvernement civil prend forme après l'arrestation d'Omar el-Béchir, il y a une volonté de normaliser les relations avec la communauté internationale et d'envoyer des signaux positifs sur la volonté de la nouvelle direction du pays de résoudre les problèmes, notamment le Darfour. Donc, en octobre 2020 est signé un accord – l'accord de Juba – qui permet à ces groupes politico militaires de revenir sur la scène soudanaise. Donc dans un premier temps, ces groupes étaient plutôt proches d'Hemedti. Mais le fait que Hemedti apparaisse soudainement comme un acteur incontournable et peut-être premier s'ils gagnaient la guerre contre l'armée soudanaise, cela a fait que ces groupes-là ont décidé, pour leur intérêt bien compris, de s'allier avec le gouvernement contre les Forces de soutien rapide. Et donc ce sont eux, fondamentalement, qui ont lutté pour défendre la ville d'El-Fasher et qui ont été battus d'une façon extrêmement sanglante à la fin du mois d'octobre. Depuis, ces groupes-là essayent de se réorganiser. Alors, vous avez deux choses qui sont en train de se passer. La première, c'est les combats qui étaient autour d'El-Fasher se dirigent aujourd'hui vraiment sur le territoire Zaghawa soudanais, mais à la frontière avec le Tchad. Et il y a de nombreux incidents de frontière dont on commence à parler, et également la possibilité de nouveaux combats dans l'extrême nord du Darfour, mais qui touche aussi la frontière du Tchad, donc avec des possibilités de déstabilisation. Et puis l'autre élément dont on parle moins, c'est le fait que ces groupes-là essayent de se réorganiser militairement et jouent déjà un rôle militaire significatif dans les batailles qui ont lieu au Kordofan, notamment autour de la ville d'El-Obeid. À lire aussiSoudan: «On a l'impression que le monde n'est pas assez horrifié par ce qui se passe», déplore l'Ocha Dans cette guerre sanglante et interminable, chacun compte ses alliés. Le général al-Burhan est soutenu par les islamistes et le général Hemedti par les Émirats arabes unis. Quel est le camp qui a le plus de profondeur stratégique ? Je dirais fondamentalement l'armée soudanaise. Pour quelle raison ? C'est que vous avez listé au niveau intérieur les islamistes, mais surtout, quand vous regardez la coalition internationale qui est derrière pour des intérêts qui sont tout à fait égoïstes, globalement, mettre la main sur un accès à la mer Rouge, vous avez la Russie, vous avez l'Iran, vous avez la Turquie, vous avez le Qatar. J'allais oublier l'Égypte, qui est un pays extrêmement important. Et donc ces pays-là ont des intérêts sécuritaires ou des ambitions économiques au Soudan et s'efforcent de soutenir le général Burhan. Parce que l'autre camp – c'est-à-dire soutenu par les Emiratis, est inacceptable parce que c'est le camp émirati, et donc ces États sont liés. Du côté des Forces de soutien rapide, vous avez, disons, une alliance régionale qui est largement celle des clients et des affidés des Émirats arabes unis, c'est-à-dire évidemment le Tchad de Mahamat Kaka, ce qui lui pose et va lui poser de plus en plus de problèmes. La Libye de Khalifa Haftar, donc ce n'est pas toute la Libye, mais c'est quand même cette Libye qui est au sud et qui permet l'approvisionnement et la logistique des Forces de soutien rapide. C'est le Soudan du Sud qui officiellement est neutre, mais finalement autorise les Forces de soutien rapide à utiliser le territoire pour des approvisionnements militaires. C'est le Kenya et l'Ouganda qui sont en affaire avec Abou Dhabi. C'est également l'Éthiopie de Abiy Ahmed, qui est un client tout à fait important des Émirats. Donc on voit que d'une certaine façon, régionalement, les Forces de soutien rapide ne sont pas du tout isolées. C'est une des raisons qui lui donnent la capacité de rebondir militairement et de trouver chaque fois les routes logistiques pour son approvisionnement militaire. Mais d'un autre côté, les grandes puissances sont plutôt du côté des Forces armées soudanaises, ce qui évidemment indique que d'une certaine façon, cette guerre ne pourra pas être gagnée militairement. Le problème aujourd'hui, c'est que personne dans la communauté internationale, y compris les États-Unis, n'ose marteler ça publiquement et de façon privée à tous les acteurs qui approvisionnent et qui alimentent cette guerre de l'extérieur. Alors, dans ce grand jeu entre puissance africaine et moyen-orientale, est-ce que la reconnaissance de l'État du Somaliland par Israël vendredi dernier est un élément important qu'il faut prendre en compte ou pas ? Oui, je crois que c'est un élément essentiel. Ce qui s'est passé jusqu'à présent, c'est que l'Arabie saoudite a toujours maintenu une position de relative neutralité, quand bien même on sentait bien que l'Arabie saoudite avait plus d'atomes crochus avec les militaires et les cadres civils du régime de Port-Soudan qu'avec les Forces de soutien rapide. Malgré tout, disons, l'aide qui a été fournie au général al-Burhan a été très limitée et ça a été largement une espèce de reconnaissance du fait que ce n'était pas un régime fantoche et que donc il fallait les considérer. Ce qui est en train de changer, c'est effectivement des événements qui se passent non seulement au Soudan, mais au sud Yémen, et avec l'éruption d'Israël au Somaliland qui change complètement la donne régionale et où tous les acteurs de la région voient les Émirats arabes unis en embuscade. Les combats au sud Yémen, dont on a peu parlé en France, marquent quand même le retour de la guerre, malgré un cessez-le-feu précaire dans une zone du pays qui avait été relativement calme et la prise de contrôle d'une région du Sud Yémen qui s'appelle le Hadramaout, qui est la région frontalière avec l'Arabie saoudite, et la milice créée et sponsorisée depuis par les Émirats arabes unis, n'a pu mener ces opérations sans le soutien et sans le feu vert des Émirats. Donc c'est un message très clair des Émirats. Certains analystes pensent que c'est un signe de mécontentement envoyé à Riyad, puisque c'est Mohammed Ben Salmane qui, en visite à Washington, avait fortement suggéré au président Trump de s'impliquer dans une nouvelle médiation au Soudan et avait également publiquement, sur le sol américain, critiqué très violemment les Forces de soutien rapide. La reconnaissance par Israël du Somaliland, indépendamment du contenu réel, ça montre la possibilité, évidemment pour les Israéliens, à terme, je ne dis pas demain matin, mais à terme, d'avoir des facilités militaires sur la côte somalienne ou somalilandaise, comme vous voudrez, et de pouvoir frapper les Houthis du Yémen. Mais ça montre aussi que les Émiratis ont d'autres ambitions, sans doute plus grandes que ce qu'on imaginait jusqu'à présent, à la fois dans leur alliance avec Israël. Une alliance qui dure et perdure en dépit de ce qui s'est passé à Gaza et également avec, à terme, une implication de l'Éthiopie, puisque l'Éthiopie a émis le 1er janvier 2024 l'idée que le Somaliland pourrait lui octroyer un territoire qui serait sous souveraineté éthiopienne sur la côte, qui servirait à la fois de port militaire et de port commercial. Donc tout ça est vu, en tous les cas par les acteurs de la région Djibouti, le gouvernement à Mogadiscio, l'Égypte et le Soudan, comme en sous-main, un appui des Émiratis qui fait que les relations entre Riyad et Abou Dhabi vont se tendre et que le soutien nominal, si vous voulez, largement diplomatique et formel qu'il y avait vis-à-vis de la junte au Soudan, va sans doute changer de forme et prendre des aspects beaucoup plus pratiques et beaucoup plus destructeurs pour la population soudanaise. Ce sera sans doute de l'aide militaire via le Pakistan ou la Turquie. L'Arabie saoudite achetant du matériel qui sera livré au Soudan et utilisé contre les Forces de soutien rapide et la population qui aurait la mauvaise idée de soutenir les Forces de soutien rapide.

We're joined by Stefanie Powers for a layered conversation that spans Hollywood's golden-era traditions, cultural change, and a life shaped by both stardom and purpose.For those in the Los Angeles area, Stefanie, with co-star Patrick Wayne, will be performing 'Love Letters' at the El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood as a benefit for the William Holden Wildlife Foundation on January 11, 2026!Stefanie reflects on growing up alongside future screen legends at Hollywood High School, and how her lifelong love of animals began at home, thanks to a stepfather who raised thoroughbreds and kept exotic animals. Her first professional job came at age 15 when she was cast in the film West Side Story, where the young cast prepared by listening to recordings of real New York street kids to capture authentic rhythms and speech patterns. However, Stefanie's tender age required too many work time restrictions as the production's intensity ramped up and her part was re-cast. She describes old school studio system rigors, where actors “sold their lives” for a seven-year contract.

In the early 1960s, British colonial administrations in East Africa organized the systematic destruction and removal of secret documents from colonies approaching independence. The Colonial Office in London arranged the deposit of these documents in high security facilities, where they remained inaccessible until 2011 following a compensation suit by Kenyan survivors of British colonial rule against the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Curating the Colonial Past: The ‘Migrated Archives' and the Struggle for Kenya's History (Cambridge University Press, 2025) presents the first full length exploration of these 'migrated archives', chronicling the struggle between British attempts to conceal and Kenyan efforts to reveal evidence of the colonial past. Neither displayed nor destroyed, Dr. Riley Linebaugh explores how these records formed an archival limbo in which the British government delayed moral and legal judgement of empire. Yet, these practices did not go unchallenged. Dr. Linebaugh demonstrates how disputes over the 'migrated archives' facilitated the continuation of anticolonial sovereignty struggles beyond independence, struggles which persist into the present. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Colleen Costigan is the co-founder and executive director of BEAM Kenya, an organization built on the belief that every child deserves the chance to heal, learn, and lead.

« La politique russe de recrutement de combattants et d'ouvrières en Afrique subsaharienne », c'est le sujet de la note publiée jeudi dernier par Thierry Vircoulon, chercheur associé à l'Institut français des relations internationales. Le premier Africain tué sur le front russo-ukrainien, en 2022, était un étudiant zambien intégré au groupe Wagner. Depuis, plusieurs milliers d'Africains, des hommes mais aussi des femmes, ont été recrutés par Moscou. Au moment de partir, la plupart pensent aller travailler dans le domaine civil et ignorent complètement ce qui les attend. Comment ces recrutements se déroulent-ils ? Quel sort est réservé à ces recrues africaines ? Et, comment réagissent les gouvernements africains concernés ? Thierry Vircoulon est le grand invité Afrique de ce jour. RFI : Pour commencer, disposez-vous d'un chiffre sur le nombre de ces hommes et femmes d'Afrique subsaharienne recrutés par la Russie pour soutenir la guerre contre l'Ukraine ? Thierry Vircoulon : Les autorités ukrainiennes estiment qu'il y a probablement entre 18 000 et 20 000 combattants étrangers dans les rangs de l'armée russe. Sur ce nombre, il y aurait 3 000 ou 4 000 Africains. On a trouvé beaucoup de nationalités différentes, de Sierra-Léonais, de Centrafricains, de Camerounais, d'Africains du Sud, de Kényans, de Sénégalais, donc un peu tous les pays africains. Ce recrutement s'adresse, écrivez-vous, à une jeunesse urbaine pauvre avec des motivations strictement économiques, qui envisagerait la guerre en Ukraine comme une solution plus accessible que l'émigration clandestine en Europe… Ce n'est pas qu'elle envisage la guerre en Ukraine comme une immigration plus facile, c'est qu'elle émigre pour ses motifs habituels, c'est-à-dire chercher de nouvelles opportunités de travail mieux rémunérées. Et, elle se retrouve prise au piège de ce conflit. Beaucoup sont recrutés de manière trompeuse. Ils sont abusés et se retrouvent enrôlés à leur arrivée en Russie, piégés dans cette armée russe. Est-ce qu'il y a aussi une motivation idéologique chez ces jeunes recrues africaines ? La Russie a le vent en poupe dans certains pays. Pour une petite minorité, oui, il y a une adhésion au discours géopolitique russe, mais c'est vraiment pour une toute petite minorité. La majorité sont des gens qui ne pensaient pas combattre dans cette guerre. Vous parlez d'offres d'emploi ou de formation « mensongères ». De quel type ? Très souvent, ils répondent à des propositions d'emploi dans le secteur civil ou parfois dans le secteur militaire, mais dans des domaines logistiques, ou [pour être, ndlr] cuisiniers, etc. Or une fois qu'ils arrivent en Russie, ils sont rapidement enrôlés de force, formés de manière tout à fait expéditive et ils sont ensuite envoyés en première ligne, dans des unités qui sont les plus exposées sur le front. Bref, ils sont à la fois dans les zones les plus risquées et ce ne sont pas de vrais combattants. À lire aussi«Les maisons russes en Afrique servent de centres de recrutement industriel et militaire» Est-ce qu'on a une idée du nombre d'Africains tués sur le front russe ou ukrainien ? Non, c'est très difficile d'avoir le nombre des morts. Il est extrêmement rare que les autorités russes informent les familles de ceux qui sont morts au combat. C'est donc très compliqué d'avoir des chiffres. On apprend dans votre étude que le recrutement russe cible aussi les femmes africaines, qui deviennent des ouvrières pour l'industrie d'armement. Cette fois de manière officielle, mais tout aussi trompeuse… Tout à fait. Et, là, c'est pour la zone économique spéciale d'Alabouga, au Tatarstan. Là-bas, il y a une usine de montage de drones pour laquelle les autorités [russes, ndlr] recrutent un peu partout dans le monde et recrutent uniquement des jeunes femmes. On a décompté à peu près une trentaine de nationalités africaines dans cette usine. Là, c'est en effet un recrutement tout à fait ouvert qu'on trouve sur les réseaux sociaux en Afrique, qu'on a même trouvé sur des sites de ministères de l'Éducation en Afrique, qu'on retrouve aussi sur les sites des ambassades russes en Afrique et qui est présenté comme une coopération pour la formation professionnelle de ces jeunes femmes. Sans préciser que, évidemment, il s'agit de monter des drones. Est-ce que les gouvernements africains des pays concernés, qui sont au courant, qui ont reçu des témoignages, des plaintes, réagissent ? Jusqu'à cet automne, ils n'avaient pas réagi. Mais là, il y a eu un certain nombre de scandales qui les ont forcés à réagir, notamment au Kenya, en Afrique du Sud et plus récemment au Botswana. Les autorités de ces trois pays ont dû reconnaître qu'ils avaient des citoyens qui combattaient dans cette guerre parce qu'ils ont maintenant un certain nombre de ces citoyens qui ont appelé à l'aide leurs familles parce qu'ils veulent s'enfuir et rentrer chez eux. Ils ont donc appelé leur famille qui a contacté les médias de ces pays et ça s'est transformé en scandale. Maintenant, ces trois gouvernements enquêtent sur ces filières de recrutement et ont demandé à Moscou le rapatriement de leurs concitoyens. À lire aussiAu Kenya, des diplomates s'inquiètent de recrutements forcés pour l'armée russe On a longuement parlé du recrutement russe en Afrique, objet de votre étude. Du côté ukrainien, est-ce qu'il y a des pratiques similaires ? Non, il y a des recrutements d'étrangers, mais qui viennent pour combattre effectivement. Il n'y a donc pas de recrutement avec de fausses propositions d'emploi. Les étrangers qui viennent combattre dans ce qu'on appelle la Légion internationale pour la défense de l'Ukraine le font volontairement et en toute connaissance de cause. ►Pour en savoir plus

In this episode of Good Morning BSS World, I return to Africa for our regular monthly update on the state of the BPO and GBS industry across the continent. I am joined by two outstanding guests – Traci Freeman and Rod Jones – who are deeply involved in shaping, promoting, and accelerating the growth of Africa as a global services destination.Together, we explore the rapid progress of the Africa Federation, its expanding membership, and the role it plays in unifying national industry bodies across North, West, East, Central, Southern Africa, and the Indian Ocean region. We discuss job creation, impact sourcing, ESG, government–industry collaboration, and the growing maturity of both established and emerging markets such as Egypt, South Africa, Morocco, Kenya, Ethiopia, Ghana, Rwanda, and beyond.This conversation provides a comprehensive, region-by-region snapshot of where Africa stands today in BPO, CX, ITO, and shared services, and where it is heading next. It is a powerful reminder that Africa is no longer an “emerging option” but a competitive, scalable, and trusted delivery location with an exceptional talent pool and a strong service culture.  Key points of the podcast:Africa's BPO and GBS sectors are growing rapidly, with significant government support and strategic initiatives focusing on job creation, skills development, and inward investment.Countries like South Africa, Egypt, Kenya, and Ethiopia are emerging as key players in the global outsourcing market, offering diverse language capabilities, competitive operating costs, and a large, tech-savvy youth population.The African Federation for BPO and GBS aims to unify and promote the continent's outsourcing potential through regional collaborations, mentoring, and the establishment of a formal structure to support sustainable growth and international investment.  Links:Traci Freeman on Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracifreeman/Rod Jones on Linkedin – https://www.linkedin.com/in/rodjonessouthafrica/Africa Federation of GBS Associations – https://africagbsfederation.org/Talk to AI about this episode – https://gmbw.onpodcastai.com/episodes/QGo92hAaPzS/chat  ****************************  My name is Wiktor Doktór and on daily basis I run Pro Progressio Club - https://proprogressio.com/en/activity/pro-progressio-club/1 - it's a community of many private companies and public sector organizations that care about the development of business relations in the B2B model.

Today's episode is produced in partnership with the Global Challenges Foundation. The Foundation is dedicated to raising awareness of global catastrophic risks and strengthening global governance to address them. Global Challenges Foundation's 2026 Global Catastrophic Risks report outlines five of the biggest risks facing humanity today, including ecological collapse, the topic of this episode. You can find this report at globalchallenges.org/gcr-2026.  Two of the authors of the chapter on ecological collapse are my guests today. David Obura is the director of CORDIO East Africa, a nonprofit research organization based in Kenya, and chair of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. Eva Mineur is head of climate and sustainability at Global Challenges Foundation. We kick off by discussing what we mean by ecological collapse and examining examples of this phenomenon already underway around the world, before turning to a longer conversation about how to strengthen international cooperation and global governance to prevent ecological collapse—and the catastrophe it would entail.

Kelsey Timmerman is a journalist, speaker, and the New York Times bestselling author of Regenerating Earth, Where Am I Wearing?, Where Am I Eating?, and Where Am I Giving?. His immersive storytelling takes readers, audiences, and listeners to the people and places behind the products they consume, exploring global issues through deeply human experiences. On this episode of Nature Revisited, Timmerman invites us to rethink the status quo of industrialized agriculture, recalling his global explorations of alternative farming methods. From the Amazon to Hawaii, Kenya to George, he describes farmers, activists and indigenous leaders who work with nature rather than against it. Their regenerative practices build soil, strengthen communities, and even help fight climate change. Timmerman reveals how the choices we make about how we grow our food can reconnect us to land, life, and one another —and offer purpose in a time of ecological crisis. https://kelseytimmerman.com/ Regenerating Earth book: https://www.patagonia.com/product/regenerating-earth-farmers-working-with-nature-to-feed-our-future/BK935.html?dwvar_BK935_color=000 Listen to Nature Revisited on your favorite podcast apps, on YouTube, or at https://noordenproductions.com Subscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4s9d7 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5n7yx28t Subscribe on Youtube Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/bddd55v9 Podlink: https://pod.link/1456657951 Support Nature Revisited https://noordenproductions.com/support Nature Revisited is produced by Stefan van Norden and Charles Geoghegan.

There's a particular look that crosses someone's face when they realize they've just been understood. I've seen it on a bus driver from Kenya after I spoke a few words of Swahili. I've seen it on a CNA from Ghana caring for my wife in a hospital room. I watched a hospital housekeeper from Haiti light up when I spoke a few words in French to her. And I've seen it countless times on caregivers who quietly say, "You just said what I've been feeling." The response is almost always the same: How do you know my language? Caregivers live in a kind of isolation that's hard to describe. It isn't only physical exhaustion, emotional strain, or long-term uncertainty. It's deeper than that. Many of us are surrounded by people who care, who want to help, who offer words—but those words don't quite land. Not because they're cruel, but because they're untranslated. In this episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I reflect on what it means to speak the "language of the heart." While I learned a few words in several language, I speak "Fluent Caregiver" - and am committed to speaking the language of the caregiver's heart to as many as I can. I also discuss why music reaches us so powerfully, and why some voices connect immediately while others never quite do. I also look at what Christmas tells us about this kind of connection, and why the name Emmanuel isn't a seasonal phrase, but a profound reality. This episode moves through stories, music, suffering, compassion, and the gospel itself. It's about caregivers, yes—but also about anyone who has ever wondered what to say, or felt unseen because no one knew how to say it. If you're carrying something heavy this season, I hope you'll listen. After listening If you're walking with someone through addiction, disability, illness, or long-term suffering, you may feel pressure to say the right thing. This episode isn't about perfect words. It's about presence. Sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is simply stay, listen, and speak with the same compassion we ourselves have received. A resource for caregivers who need language   If this episode resonated, you may find help in my book, A Caregiver's Companion. It grew out of the same conviction behind today's program: caregivers don't just need encouragement. We need words that speak honestly to what we're carrying. The book brings together Scripture, hymns, and lived experience from decades of caregiving, written to sit beside you rather than talk at you. You can find it here:

En première partie, notre premier reportage nous emmène au festival, le Nyege Nyege, grand moment de la scène techno africaine qui a ses fiefs (le Sénégal avec ses soirées techno, le Kenya et ses festivals, ou Marrakech au Maroc...), là nous partons en Ouganda. En seconde partie, nous nous envolons vers les îles du nord de la Norvège, les Lofoten, splendides et dépaysantes, le spectacle est un peu gâché par le surtourisme. En Ouganda, le Nyege Nyege, le festival électro incontournable du continent africain C'est devenu l'un des plus grands rendez-vous musicaux d'Afrique de l'Est... Le festival Nyege Nyege. Au bord du Nil en Ouganda, il vient de fêter fin novembre 2025 ses dix ans d'existence, une grande fête de la musique électronique et alternative au sens large du terme. Objectif : célébrer et promouvoir les scènes dites «underground», expérimentales du continent africain. Là où liberté de création fait loi.  Dix ans de tous les sons et déjà une référence mondiale. Avec de grands DJs comme Skrillex… Et cela sans perdre de vue les valeurs d'origine. Un Grand reportage de Lucie Mouillaud qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. Surtourisme aux Lofoten : mémoire et culture en résistance En Norvège, les îles Lofoten ont acquis avec l'essor d'Instagram et de Tiktok une notoriété inattendue. Chaque année, un flot de plus d'un million de touristes vient cohabiter avec une petite population locale de 25 000 personnes. Conséquences : dégradation des espaces naturels, excréments humains dans les jardins et les cimetières, mais aussi la perte d'identité. Le rorbur, la petite maison rouge typique des pêcheurs, est devenu le symbole par excellence d'Airbnb, effaçant peu à peu la grande tradition séculaire de la pêche. Un Grand reportage de Dánae Rivadeneyra qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

We have reached the end of the year. The bells have stopped ringing, the wrapping paper is in the bin, and we are standing on the threshold of the "Morning After." In this final Thinking Out Loud of 2025, we explore the art of survival through three powerful metaphors: The Dance, The Drift, and The Lever. We travel to Argentina to see an orderly teach a paralyzed woman that she can still lead; we float down the Amazon to discover that being lost is sometimes the only way to be found; and we stand at a well in Kenya to learn why peace is physically heavy. We ask the difficult questions: Are we tourists in our own lives, or are we pilgrims? Does the music stop just because our legs do? And what happens when we realize that the handle of survival is too heavy to lift alone? Join me for one last reflection before we turn the page to 2026.
