Officials argue that banknotes used in bouquets are often “folded, rolled, glued, stapled, pinned,” or otherwise damaged, which they say compromises their integrity, defaces the national currency, and increases the cost of replacing damaged notes.

Oli Raison, co-founder of Safarini Leadership, designs immersive leadership expeditions in Kenya that combine cultural exchange with Samburu elders, wilderness trekking, and deep reflective coaching. In this conversation, Oli challenges one of leadership's most entrenched assumptions: that resilience is about individual grit and mental toughness. Drawing on the Samburu concept of naboisho—interdependence—he shows how real resilience is built through collective support, not solo endurance. He also names the single most important question leaders need to ask when entering any new culture or organization: What assumptions am I making? The catch? Most assumptions are invisible to us because they feel like "normal." Oli also explores why many wilderness and offsite leadership experiences fail to create lasting change, and shares his solution: a three-phase transformation framework—preparation, immersion, and integration—shaped by the work of past podcast guest, Joe Pine. This episode is an invitation to question your cultural defaults, rebuild genuine human connection, and develop a healthier relationship with time—so your leadership, and your team's resilience, can actually endure. Find episode 498 on The Leadership Podcast, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts! Watch this Episode on YouTube | Oli Raison on Why Grit Isn't Enough: Rethinking Resilience in Leadership https://bit.ly/TLP-498 Key Takeaways [04:12] Oli says the leadership assumption consistently dismantled his resilience—the Samburu are resilient through interdependence called "naboisho," not grit. [07:00] Oli identifies profound learning as the importance of having a shared sense of purpose and a very strong shared set of values. [08:31] Oli responds that people have very different expectations of leadership in different cultures around the world. [10:11] Oli reveals the Samburu doesn't have words for anxiety or depression and you'll certainly never meet somebody who knows somebody who committed suicide. Oli notes loneliness is now as damaging for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. [12:00] Oli responds I think too much comfort can be a bad thing and people get discombobulated easily if things don't go quite to plan. [14:35] Oli answers the critical question leaders should ask: what assumptions am I making? Because we don't realize we're making assumptions. [17:07] Oli explains African societies have a fundamentally different understanding of time where there's always enough time. [20:10] Oli explains the Samburu are very spiritual people connected with their ancestors and you're also connected with your descendants. [22:30] Oli says mindset adjustment happens organically from just being offline during 10-day expeditions with six days of camel-supported trekking. [24:53] Oli describes their three-phase structure: preparation, immersion, and integration with coaching sessions at two, four, and six weeks after. [29:20] Oli responds his long-term impact is about flourishing, particularly helping men dealing with anxiety, depression, and suicidality. [31:43] Oli states his aspiration: how can we create workplaces, organizations and teams that flourish? Because that's when people really do their best work. [33:45] Jan shares his realization about keeping fingers on the keyboard versus closing the laptop because the most important thing is that person in front of you. [35:56] And remember..."One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure." - William Feather Quotable Quotes "The Samburu, what makes them so resilient is this concept of interdependence, this reliance, this collective reliance on one another...if my cattle get wiped out because of a really challenging drought, I know that my neighbors are going to step in and they're going to give me some of their cattle." "Naboisho is a word in their language which kind of roughly translates to coming together or unity. And they often say things like 'we are because they are,' that we are all sort of in this together." "This is a society that doesn't have words for anxiety or depression. And you'll certainly never meet somebody who knows somebody who committed suicide...loneliness is now as damaging for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day." "In the west, we think of time as a commodity. We think of time as something that can be saved, it can be wasted, it can be lost. And as a result of that, I feel that time is the master of us and we are not the master of time." "The Samburu always say there's always enough time because they don't think of time as this continuous thing...time occurs when events happen, it's more relational and it's more eventful." "What assumptions am I making? And this is tricky, right, because a lot of the time we don't realize we're making assumptions." "We don't need to be experts, but we do need to be detectives...what assumptions am I making that might be getting in my way?" "All of this technology is actually causing our brains to operate on a frequency that is not conducive with creative thought at all. And by being in nature, just that alone creates an environment for people to have some really powerful insights." "I think one of the things that people come away with is I really need to take more time out to just contemplate and to think. You know, think about your business, think about your life. We don't take time to think anymore. We're just reacting." "This obsession with hyper productivity is actually just, again, it's all distraction, you know, it's taking us away from just being with ourselves in the moment or being with somebody else." "In 1990, the average man had five close friends and now he has one...every minute that we spend on a device, on a phone, on a laptop, thinking that we're connecting is a minute that we're not spending really connecting with somebody."

Kenya St. Lôt is a birth and postpartum doula honoring her African midwife ancestry. Together, they dismantle birth fears by reframing pain as a vital portal to empowerment, connection, and ancestral wisdom in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.In this episode, you'll learn about:How pain forges unbreakable bonds with your baby, turning contractions into intuitive cues that guide positioning and progress for peaceful, even orgasmic births.Dismantling medical fears through education on epidurals, Pitocin, and interventions, using code words to reclaim choice in hospitals, birth centers, or home.Partner care as the grounded "tree" during labor—breathing together, affirming power, and planning conscious parenting to ease postpartum shifts.Ancestral rituals like 40-day rest, closing of the bones with rebozo, and yoni steaming to heal the postpartum portal and prevent energy depletion.Rebuilding the village: Grief in pregnancy, fear as a compass, and intuitive body trust to birth without trauma, honoring African lineage wisdom.Golden Nuggets From This Episode:✨ “Your boundaries, what you need, how you wanna give birth — because that is your birth. It's not the doctor's birth, it's not other people's experience, it's you and your baby.”✨ ”Birth requires safety and ownership; when you feel safe, your body can do what it was designed to do.✨ “If we feel fearful, our body is not going to relax. It will go into adrenaline and not let you dilate, and that's when contraction goes against your baby coming out — because fear tells the body it's not safe, and birth only flows where safety is felt.”✨ “Pain is a really important thing when you're giving birth.”✨ “When the partner has fears, it's valid.”✨ “We don't have the village anymore. One of the most ancestral and easy things is to bring back the village — because birth and motherhood were never meant to be carried alone.”✨ “Being pregnant and giving birth is temporary. Postpartum is for life. The way that you are cared for can impact the rest of your motherhood and your connection with your baby and your partner.”✨ “Having the uncomfortable conversations before conceiving is really important.”Connect More with Kenya:IG: https://www.instagram.com/kenyasaintlot/More Lexy from Heart Snuggles:Soft Girl Season {Instant Access Course}: https://lovelounge.iamlexydavis.com/offers/GCowWYXQEmail: lexy@alivetoenjoy.comDating + Relationship Coaching - https://iamlexydavis.com/Instagram: Alivetoenjoy & Heart SnugglesTimestamps from episode:04:16 Kenya's Journey into Birth and Pregnancy07:15 Understanding the Complexities of Pregnancy and Birth10:28 Empowering Women Through Education and Choices13:28 The Importance of Trust and Intuition in Birth15:28 Navigating Hospital Births and Medical Interventions21:12 The Power of Confidence and Overcoming Fear in Birth25:06 Signs of Labor and Code Words26:35 Navigating Complications During Birth27:56 The Beauty of Birth and Partner Support30:58 Partner Involvement and Postpartum Care38:36 Ancient Traditions and Postpartum Rituals41:14 The Importance of Community and Village Support43:22 Final Thoughts and Romantic Memories48:28 Conclusion and Heart Snuggles

Vi åker till Kenya på 1950-talet och följer det uppror som rasade mot britterna där. Detta under en tid då hittills inga kolonier i afrikanska subsahara ännu frigjorts, och britterna var inte riktigt inställda på att det var dags för något sånt. Det blir blodigt. Dessutom hamnar vi hos historikernas hantering av det hela i efterhand, vad visste man egentligen i England under efterkrigstiden om alla metoderna för att slå ner upproret, och vad visste man om lägren? Vem som egentligen forskat fram vad blir i sig en stötesten när en amerikanska dyker in på scenen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode was recorded "live" from the C. Dorman cupping lab while Tim was in Kenya in January in order to taste and select coffees for purchasing. Like many of our listeners and followers already know, we prefer to work directly with farmers over years in order to improve the quality of their coffees and their farms.  Due to how the Kenyan coffee industry is organised, it is the only origin we buy from where we do not have a direct relationship with a single farmer.   This is because the majority of the best coffees are coming from smallholder farmers who sell their coffee cherries to co-operatives, where the coffees are bulked together for processing and drying. Buying coffees in Kenya is therefore a bit different to what we are used to and Tim visits Kenya on an annual basis in order to taste through hundreds of coffee samples to make his selection every year.  Listen in on Tim's thoughts around Kenyan coffee quality and how he approaches buying coffees in Kenya.

What if the most powerful segment in travel has been hiding in plain sight for decades?Tourpreneur's Mitch Bach talks with Carolyn Ray, CEO of Journey Woman, about her transformation from corporate executive to full-time traveler and advocate for the 50+ woman traveler—a demographic that represents half the world's population yet remains largely invisible to the travel industry.After a life-changing trip to Kenya at age 50, Carolyn sold everything and reinvented herself, eventually acquiring Journey Woman in 2019 and transforming it from a 1990s-era newsletter into a multifaceted platform that includes research, advocacy, a women's travel directory, and speakers bureau.Through her groundbreaking "Invisible No More" research, Carolyn became the first to quantify this market segment, revealing that operators who only market destinations are "doing half the job" because 50+ women travelers are looking for purposeful, intentional experiences beyond simple safety assurances.She challenges the industry's obsession paid media and influencer marketing, and urges women entrepreneurs to reject outdated rules, trust their intuition, and put themselves unapologetically in the spotlight—embodying her company's core value to "make your own rules."The "Invisible No More" studyArticle mentioned: Is it safe to travel to the US right now?The new Women's Travel Directory

What happens when you sit down with a lighting designer who's spent two decades navigating one of the world's most dynamic, culturally complex markets—and ask him how culture, design, and architecture really intersect?In this episode of LytePOD, host Sam Koerbel travels to Dubai to sit down with Siddharth (Sid) Mathur, a veteran lighting designer who has witnessed firsthand the transformation of a city that went from drilling pilings for the Burj Khalifa to becoming one of the most internationally influential design hubs in the world. This isn't a conversation about fixtures or specifications—it's a deep dive into the forces that shape how we design, who we design for, and why understanding people is the single most important skill a designer can have.Sid walksreveals why uniformity is the death of design, why a 70-year-old client and a 25-year-old client want completely different things from their lighting (even if they live in the same city), and why the most important part of any project isn't the rendering—it's the person-to-person connection that makes everything else possible.But this conversation goes deeper. It's about the tension between creative vision and client expectation, the exhausting reality of juggling five different cultural contexts in a single day, and why lighting design—despite all its challenges—remains one of the most rewarding professions for those willing to treat it like the marathon it is. Cedar shares why he pushes the envelope on every project, why lighting is the makeup that keeps the perfect marriage of architecture and culture going, and why one person's sparkle is always another person's glare.

"I'm a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will."This aphorism from political philosopher and journalist Antonio Gramsci is one of our guest Neha Sanghrajka's favorite quotes. When you learn her story, you'll understand why. A Kenyan born lawyer, Sanghrajka spent almost a decade in Mozambique mediating a peace process between the country's president and a guerrilla leader stationed on a remote mountaintop. Sanghrajka and her colleague, Swiss Ambassador Mirko Manzoni, travelled back and forth between the capital of Maputo and the militant headquarters in the remote Garongosa Mountains 45 times – a journey of over 1000 km each way. And when she wasn't hoofing it up the mountain, Sanghrajka spent many hours just listening to local people, without expectation. The peacebuilders walked a delicate line. Knowing that previous processes had failed when they were over-exposed to the media, they protected the negotiations from scrutiny. At the same time, they engaged journalists and civil society with the public implementation of the process. Neha's story presents a fascinating example of how polarized groups can actually buy into a process of reconciliation, despite major setbacks along the way; and how journalists can report responsibly and critically, while still supporting the aspiration of peace. Before moving to Mozambique, Neha Sanghrajka worked with former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan during the 2007 election crisis in Kenya and helped facilitate election reform there. She's now a fellow at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University.Learn more about Neha SanghrajkaRead Sanghrajka and Mirko Manzoni's report on the peace process in MozambiqueVisit the Maputo Accord website ABOUT THE SHOW The Making Peace Visible podcast is hosted by Jamil Simon and produced by Andrea Muraskin.

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick continues his exploration of Eric Hobsbawm's seminal work, The Age of Extremes.We focus on the first part of Hobsbawm's "historical triptych"—the Age of Catastrophe (1914–1945). Nick argues that this period was essentially a European Civil War, where the violent techniques of imperialism—gas, machine guns, and racial extermination—boomeranged back onto the continent itself.From the collapse of the liberal order in 1914 to the rise of totalitarian regimes in the 1930s, we examine how the certainties of the 19th century were shattered. We also critique Hobsbawm's Eurocentric view, asking: Was the post-war "Golden Age" truly golden for the colonized peoples of Vietnam, Kenya, or Algeria? Or was the Second World War merely the moment when the violence of empire finally came home?Plus: A final call for history students! Our Russian Revolution Masterclass is on Sunday, January 25th.

It could be said that Jesus' message in Matthew 5:16-20 boils down to this: “Preach always – and, when you have to, use words.” Our guest preacher Spencer Bogle shares a fascinating sermon on the value and purpose of human life. Spencer is the director of a non-profit called the Water Project (https://thewaterproject.org). The organization partners with locally registered non-government organizations in Kenya, Uganda, and Sierra Leone to provide reliable, safe water for rural communities, schools, and healthcare facilities.

Joe and Lauri are back with their immediate reactions to Episode 6 of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18, breaking down the second half of the Raida Queen Talent Show and the fallout from another chaotic week of alliances, voting, and questionable performances. This week, the queens return to the stage for part two of the Raida Queen Talent Show, followed by a runway themed Shake, Shake, Shake. On the main stage, Athena Dion and Jane Doe land in the top two and face off in a lip sync for the win. In the bottom, Mikey Meeks and Sierra Mist battle it out for survival, with Sierra ultimately being asked to sashay away. Joe and Lauri dig into whether the right queens were in the top and bottom, whether the voting actually made sense, and how alliances may be quietly shaping the competition. Lauri argues that Mikey Meeks delivered the most compelling and unique performance of the night and questions why it didn't translate into a win. The conversation also tackles Kenya's continued struggles, missed lyrics, and whether strong confessionals are keeping her safe. The episode takes a closer look at Athena Dion's polished but polarizing talent show performance, Jane Doe's comedic approach, and Discord's confusing musical choices. Joe and Lauri debate whether competence and professionalism are being rewarded over risk and originality, and whether the math behind the votes is actually mathing. Along the way, the conversation veers into classic Big Takeaway territory, including side tangents, personal commentary, and unfiltered opinions that reflect the hosts' first-impression reactions before the deeper recap episodes.

More than 3500 athletes from 93 countries will be competing for 195 medals at the Milan-Cortina Games. Three countries will be making their Winter Olympic debuts at the 2026 Games, the African nations of Benin and Guinea Bissau along with the United Arab Emirates. But with the established winter sport nations such as Norway, the United States of America, Canada and Germany looking to dominate the medal table once again, how hard is it for new countries to compete on the world stage?Eight African nations will be represented this time with Eritrea, Kenya, Madagascar, Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa along with the two debutants taking part. South Africa is sending its largest ever team with five athletes, but over six decades since an African nation made its Winter Olympics debut, the continent's first medal remains elusive.Matt Smith only took up the sport three years ago and is now going to be South Africa's sole cross-country skier in the upcoming games. He tells Lee James why he hopes his inclusion can inspire generations to come, and why he's been nicknamed the 'Snowbok'. Simidele Adeagbo became the first Nigerian to compete at the Winter Olympics in 2018 and was the first black female Olympian in the sport of Skeleton. She says with a more than a billion people on the African continent it's important its athletes are proportionately represented when it comes to the Winter Olympics.Every Monday to Friday, More than the Score tells stories beyond the scoreline from all over the world of sport.

The UNFPA has warned that world fertility rates are facing an 'unprecedented decline'. In its 2025 report, it said many people are having fewer children than they want, or none at all, because of factors like the cost of living and difficulties finding a suitable partner.At the same time, a growing number of people are actively choosing a child-free life, and more women are now opting for sterilisation procedures like tubal ligation. Focus on Africa podcast host, Nkechi Ogbonna, spoke to 29-year-old Naisula Sironka, from Kenya, who has chosen to be child-free and underwent tubal ligation in 2024.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Fana Negash and Carolyne Kiambo Technical Producer: David Nzau Senior Producer: Priya Sippy Editors: Samuel Murunga and Maryam Abdalla

Martti Falck, also known as the "Rapping Finnish Preacher", is a Baptist and Pentecostal pastor who believes in making Jesus famous again through his ministry.

Almost $1 trillion has been knocked off the value of software and services companies as investors weigh whether artificial intelligence has been hit particularly hard, so we ask: what does that mean for the profession itself.We also look at why interest rates in Europe and the UK are on holdAnd why Kenya's central bank has banned the use of banknotes in decorative bouquets.

After a week of significant drops across many AI and tech-related stocks, we speak to Nobel Prize winner Daron Acemoglu, and economist Cary Leahey of Columbia University in New York, to examine whether the tech bubble could be set to burst. With Nike under investigation by Donald Trump's administration over claims it has hidden evidence that the company is using its so-called diversity, equity and inclusion policies to discriminate against white workers, Ed Butler speaks to Stefan Padfield of the Free Enterprise Project. Elsewhere, Beijing says Panama will pay 'a heavy price' for a court ruling against a Hong Kong port owner, and we look at how a growing trend has led to Kenya's central bank banning people from using bank notes to make floral-like bouquets and decorations.

Depuis ce mercredi 4 février 2026, une quarantaine de délégations africaines sont à Washington, aux États-Unis, pour un sommet sur les minerais critiques. Une réunion à laquelle doit notamment assister la RDC en présence du président Félix Tshisekedi. D'autres délégations venant de Guinée et du Kenya, entre autres, sont également attendues pour ce sommet. L'Afrique regorge de richesses dont dépend l'avenir de la transition énergétique. Fini le pétrole, on parle désormais de coltan, de gallium, de cobalt et bien d'autres minerais stratégiques désormais au centre de la compétition mondiale. Ce matin, notre grand invité Afrique est Guillaume Pitron, journaliste et chercheur associé à l'Institut des relations internationales et stratégiques (IRIS). Il répond aux questions de Sidy Yansané. RFI : En 2018 vous sortiez le livre-enquête La guerre des métaux rares (éd. Les liens qui libèrent). À l'époque, ce qu'on appelle désormais les terres rares et minerais critiques n'étaient pas du tout connus du grand public. Désormais, ils sont dans toutes les bouches. Peut-on dire que la guerre que vous annonciez a commencé ? Guillaume Pitron : Elle avait déjà commencé en 2018 et elle ne fait que s'intensifier. Parce qu'on a toujours davantage besoin de ces métaux critiques. Des métaux appelés critiques car il y a des risques de rupture d'approvisionnement compte tenu de leur production tenue par seulement quelques pays, dont la Chine. Leur consommation a explosé ces dernières années car ces matériaux sont nécessaires pour fabriquer des moteurs, des voitures électriques, des turbines d'éoliennes, mais également pour l'électronique, pour le secteur de la défense. Et puis, les pays occidentaux n'ont pas beaucoup agi ces huit dernières années pour diversifier leurs approvisionnements. Or, la guerre commerciale lancée par le président Donald Trump a forcé la Chine à sortir sa carte maîtresse : cesser ses exportations de terres rares. Cela crée une énorme inquiétude dans le monde occidental, parce qu'on n'a pas de plan B pour faire tourner nos économies. Vous diriez que les pays africains en tirent profit autant sur le plan économique qu'énergétique ? À mon avis, ils n'en tirent pas assez profit. D'abord parce qu'un gisement n'est pas une mine. Dire qu'on a un gisement de terres rares ou de lithium ou de cobalt ne veut pas dire qu'on l'a exploité. Or, exploiter un gisement et ouvrir une mine, ça met du temps. Deuxièmement, une fois que l'exploitation commence se pose la question de la juste répartition des bénéfices. Qui va travailler dans la mine ? Des Chinois ou des Africains ? Qui va raffiner le minerai ? Et où ? A priori, le minerai sera transporté en Chine pour être raffiné sur place et sa valeur ajoutée sera donc transférée à la Chine. Comment se passe la répartition des gains entre les Africains et les Chinois après que le minerai a été extrait et éventuellement raffiné ? Donc l'objectif pour l'Afrique demain, c'est de faire ce qu'a fait la Chine : devenir un continent où se trouvent des mines accompagnées de raffineries, d'usines de transformation et de fabrication de composants et de batteries. L'Amérique de Donald Trump est en pleine offensive sur le continent, c'est le moins qu'on puisse dire. Washington reçoit en ce moment même plusieurs délégations africaines. Peut-on parler d'un nouveau rapport de forces autour des richesses africaines, ou alors est-ce business as usual ? Je dirais que c'est business as usual. Et, pardon de le dire, c'est une forme de néocolonisation mais cette fois-ci repeinte à la sauce verte. L'avantage de l'Afrique, c'est qu'elle a pour elle une histoire qu'elle ne veut pas répéter. Et elle a aussi pour elle une ribambelle de pays acheteurs de ces matériaux comme la Chine, les Européens, les Américains pour ne citer qu'eux . Des pays clients qu'ils vont pouvoir mettre en concurrence. Donc l'Afrique a entre ses mains certaines cartes à son avantage pour pouvoir choisir ses partenaires qui, en échange de ses minerais, lui fourniront le plus de savoir-faire et le plus de technologie au meilleur prix. « Eviter les erreurs du passé, un néocolonialisme vert »… Pensez-vous qu'il y a encore un risque que l'Afrique rate le train de la transition énergétique en subissant les pressions des puissances extérieures ? Mais c'est tout à fait possible et c'est même plausible et probable. Et j'en veux pour exemple le cas de la RDC. Aujourd'hui, la RDC est un scandale géologique, c'est un pays qui concentre énormément de ressources sous la forme de gisements et qui notamment exploite un métal phare de la transition énergétique : le cobalt. Il n'y a pas de voiture électrique sans cobalt, il n'y a pas de téléphone portable sans cobalt. La RDC concentre les deux tiers des ressources mondiales de cobalt. Ce cobalt aujourd'hui est produit par la RDC mais n'est pas transformé sur place. Il est, pour 80 % de ce cobalt, sorti de la RDC et raffiné en Chine. Toute la valeur ajoutée du minerai sort du pays. Donc aujourd'hui, concrètement, vous avez une situation d'une considérable iniquité dans laquelle la RDC se fait, pardon de le dire, complètement plumer par la Chine, car Kinshasa n'a pas été capable de faire valoir ses intérêts face à la Chine. C'est une situation concrète qui montre que le néocolonialisme se répète avec d'autres matières premières, avec d'autres pays aux pratiques néocoloniales. Et c'est précisément cette situation congolaise autour du cobalt qu'il ne faut surtout pas répéter en Guinée, au Congo, en Algérie, en Afrique du Sud, etc. pour peu que l'Afrique veuille réellement devenir un grand continent, profitant de tous les effets potentiellement bénéfiques de la transition énergétique.

« L'Afrique reste dans le jeu commercial américain », s'exclame le site L'Economiste maghrébin. « Petit ouf de soulagement en Afrique. L'AGOA a été reconduit pour une période d'un an, c'est-à-dire jusqu'au 31 décembre de cette année. » Le mois dernier, rappelle Le Monde Afrique, « la Chambre des représentants avait voté la reconduction de l'AGOA pour trois ans, mais les sénateurs ont ramené la durée à un an. L'AGOA est une pièce maîtresse des relations commerciales entre les Etats-Unis et les pays africains. Ce traitement commercial préférentiel avait été lancé en 2000 sous la présidence du démocrate Bill Clinton. Il permet aux pays africains d'exporter de nombreux produits vers les Etats-Unis sans droits de douane, s'ils respectent une série de conditions (pluralisme politique, respect des droits humains, lutte contre la corruption…). Une trentaine de pays sur la cinquantaine du continent africain bénéficient en théorie de l'accord, qui couvre un large éventail de produits allant de l'habillement à l'igname en passant par les voitures. » Contrer les Chinois… Alors pourquoi avoir réactivé l'AGOA ? Le Pays au Burkina a sa petite idée : « Donald Trump avait fait de la réactivation de cet accord un moyen de chantage, notamment sur les pays africains, dans le cadre de la guerre commerciale mondiale qu'il a déclarée dès son retour au Bureau ovale. Sauf que cette stratégie hégémonique ne s'est pas révélée très payante. Puisque les pays concernés, loin de se plier aux desiderata de l'Oncle Sam, se sont plutôt montrés pragmatiques, (…) en traitant avec d'autres puissances telles que la Chine, la Russie, le Japon, l'Arabie Saoudite, ou encore le Qatar. Le président milliardaire (…) ne pouvait donc pas se permettre de se passer indéfiniment d'une trentaine de pays, donc d'une trentaine de marchés, et encore moins prendre l'énorme risque de laisser son adversaire le plus redoutable qu'est la Chine, contrôler seul ce vaste terrain d'opportunités. » Peu de pays concernés et beaucoup de contreparties… « L'Afrique a-t-elle vraiment de quoi se réjouir ? », s'interroge pour sa part Ledjely en Guinée. « En 2024, l'Afrique a exporté pour plus de 8 milliards de dollars de marchandises vers les Etats-Unis. Mais ces flux restent concentrés sur un nombre restreint de pays. L'Afrique du Sud, le Nigeria, le Kenya et le Lesotho figurent parmi les principaux bénéficiaires de l'accord. Pour ces pays, les retombées économiques ne sont donc pas négligeables. Mais, relève Ledjely, à l'échelle de l'ensemble du continent, elles demeurent marginales. Cette réalité s'explique en grande partie par la faiblesse structurelle de l'industrialisation africaine, qui limite la capacité de nombreux Etats à tirer profit d'un accès préférentiel aux marchés extérieurs. En ce sens, l'AGOA apparaît davantage comme un levier ponctuel que comme un véritable moteur de transformation économique. A cela, pointe encore Ledjely, s'ajoutent des conditions politiques et stratégiques qui suscitent de sérieuses interrogations. Selon plusieurs sources, la réactivation de l'accord serait notamment liée à la volonté de Washington de voir certains pays africains accueillir des migrants que les Etats-Unis ne souhaitent plus garder sur leur sol, une question particulièrement chère à Donald Trump. La question aurait été explicitement soumise au Ghana. » Enfin, pour l'économiste béninois Khalid Igué, interrogé par Le Point Afrique, « renouveler l'accord pour une seule année le rend précaire, mais c'est mieux que rien. Cette période peut servir de transition, durant laquelle nous, pays africains, devons montrer aux États-Unis tout l'intérêt qu'ils auraient à rendre l'accord durable. Nous ne pouvons pas nous passer du marché américain, souligne-t-il. Mais eux non plus ne peuvent se passer de l'Afrique et de ses ressources. » RDC : l'AFC/M23 revendique l'attaque de l'aéroport de Kisangani À la Une également, l'attaque de drone le week-end dernier sur l'aéroport de Kisangani dans l'est de la RDC… C'était bien l'AFC/M23. Le groupe rebelle a revendiqué l'attaque. « L'AFC/M23 affirme avoir détruit le centre de commandement des drones militaires. De fait, relève Jeune Afrique, la zone militaire de l'aéroport de Kisangani abrite des drones chinois et turcs utilisés par les Forces armées congolaises. De son côté, le gouvernement local de la province de la Tshopo affirme que les drones ont été neutralisés avant d'atteindre leur cible. » En tout cas, cette incursion en territoire congolais, à 700 km de Bukavu, contrôlée par les rebelles, montre que « l'AFC/M23 intensifie la bataille de l'air », pointe le site panafricain. « Le groupe armé veut démontrer qu'il a la capacité de se projeter bien au-delà de la zone qu'il contrôle. »

Given the evil still in this world, this emotionally charged episode is with one of the most powerful warriors in the fight for the soul of humanity—Fr. Seán ÓLaoire, who was kicked out of the Catholic Church, because the God he KNOWS is not the God of the scripture. In his book "Setting God Free," he put the God of the Bible on trial for crimes against humanity. The verdict? The wrathful, jealous deity worshipped by fundamentalists is merely a projection of the human shadow onto the divine. And when we set God free from our projections, God sets us free from our illusions.With 80 years of accumulated wisdom this Irish priest, psychologist, and mystic has spent decades exploring the boundaries between religion and direct spiritual experience. He's recorded his dreams since 1979, contracted malaria in Kenya which helped expand new para-psychological faculties of understanding. One of his core teachings is that evil is not just a violation of human law, but "a cosmic conspiracy using human intermediaries to separate souls from Source.” In this conversation, we explore the four expressions of compassion (including when confrontation becomes the most loving response), the cosmic significance of what's happening in Iran, and why mystics are the keepers of the flame while dogma tries to extinguish it. Sean shares his vision of 64,442 beings of light stationed around Earth at this critical moment in our evolution, and reads his breathtaking "Eucharistic Prayer of the Cosmos," a channeled piece that honors God as dancer, artist, sculptor, musician, mathematician, physicist, and awakener.If you've made it this far, just put on the show, you're in for a wild and beautiful ride. | Fr.

In this episode, Sabrina Simader: Opening the Closed Door, Sabrina Wanjiku Simader (Kenya, alpine skiing) reflects on the joy and pressure of carrying a first for her country, from becoming Kenya's first woman Winter Olympian to racing in spaces where she rarely sees her nation represented. She shares how her stepdad's ski lift first put her on the mountain, why her mom's steady belief keeps her going, and what it takes to manage the “learning days” that never make the highlight reel. Sabrina opens up about the hardest decision of her career: stepping back after years of fighting for support, then trusting that setting boundaries can open new doors. As she waits to learn whether backing arrives in time for Milano Cortina, she stays committed to one message: go all in for your dreams, even when the world says no.

What if art could serve as both a mirror to injustice and a sanctuary for the soul? What happens when the world tries to fit your identity into a narrow predetermined box? I sit down with multi-disciplinary artist Phoebe Boswell to explore the "porous space" between heritage and headline. From the lush landscapes of Kenya to the structured life rooms of London, Phoebe shares how she navigated a "rude awakening" in the West by building a visual language that refuses to be simplified. We delve into the power of multidisciplinary storytelling and the radical act of reclaiming one's voice after it has been challenged by the gatekeepers of industry.  Chapters 00:00 Exploring Identity Through Art 03:47 Childhood Influences and Cultural Displacement 07:05 Navigating Racial Identity in England 09:14 Finding Artistic Voice and Overcoming Criticism 16:48 The Complexity of Storytelling in Art 20:08 Community Engagement and Collaborative Art 26:34 Reclaiming Water and Personal Healing 31:51 The Evolution of Artistic Success 36:43 Redefining the Role of the Artist Connect with Phoebe:   Follow Phoebe on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/phoebe.boswell/?hl=en Phoebe's website: https://www.phoebeboswell.com/ Support the Show Website: http://www.martineseverin.comFollow on Instagram: @martine.severin | @thisishowwecreate_ Subscribe to the Newsletter: http://www.martineseverin.substack.com   This is How We Create is produced by Martine Severin.
