Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina. Malengo ya Maendeleo Endelevu ya Umoja wa Mataifa (SDGs) yanatambua kuwa kuwawezesha vijana, kulinda mazingira na kuimarisha uhakika wa kupata chakula ni miongoni mwa nguzo muhimu za kujenga jamii zenye ustahimilivu na maendeleo endelevu. Kupitia malengo kama vile la Kutokomeza umaskini, kutokomeza njaa na hatua dhidi ya mabadiliko ya tabianchi , jamii zinahimizwa kuwekeza katika suluhisho zinazowawezesha wananchi kujitegemea huku zikihifadhi mazingira kwa vizazi vya sasa na vijavyo. Hatua hizo zinatekelezwa katika enoe la Kajiado Kaskazini, katika kaunti ya Kajiado, kusini mwa Kenya kama anavyosimulia Kelvin Keitany wa radio washirika, Domus Radio.Hii leo Umoja wa Mataifa umekuwa na matukio mbalimbali ya kuadhimisha siku ya Mandela, Rais wa kwanza mweusi wa taifa la Afrika Kusini kwa mchango wake wa utetezi wa haki. Miongoni mwa kulikofanyika maadhimisho hayo ni Nairobi, Kenya ambako Stella Vuzo wa Kituo cha Habari cha Umoja wa Mataifa alikuwa shuhuda wetu. Licha ya idadi ya magari duniani kuongezeka kwa zaidi ya bilioni moja, Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya Duniani WHO limesema vifo vinavyotokana na ajali za barabarani vimepungua kwa asilimia 21 kati ya mwaka 2011 na 2025. Hata hivyo, ajali hizo bado zilisababisha vifo vya zaidi ya watu milioni 1 mwaka jana na zinaendelea kuwa chanzo kikuu cha vifo kwa watoto na vijana wenye umri wa miaka 5 hadi 29Na, Je, msikilizaji wangu, uliwahi kujiuliza kwa nini binadamu bado wanarudi kuchunguza Mwezi ulioko anga za juu , zaidi ya miaka 50 baada ya kutua huko kwa mara ya kwanza? Leo Julai 20, dunia inaadhimisha Siku ya Kimataifa ya mwezi. Umoja wa Mataifa uliitenga siku hii kuenzi tukio la kihistoria la mwaka 1969, wakati wanaanga wa safari ya Apollo 11 walipoweka nyayo za kwanza za binadamu mwezini. Lakini maadhimisho haya hayaishii kwenye historia tu bali yanasisitiza pia umuhimu wa ushirikiano wa kimataifa katika utafiti wa anga za juu na kuhakikisha uchunguzi wa mwezi unafanyika kwa amani na kwa manufaa ya watu wote duniani.".Mwenyeji wako ni Assumpta Massoi, karibu!

Space missions are searching for evidence of extra-terrestrial life. CrowdScience listener George in Kenya wants to know what could be up there, and if there's a risk it could harm humanity. With rovers currently analysing samples on Mars, missions searching for the building blocks of life on Jupiter's icy moons, George's concern that there could be diseases in space is timely. Presenter Anand Jagatia sets out to try and find an answer while keeping his feet on the Earth. He meets astrobiologist Dr Michaela Musilova, who runs experiments to try and understand what kinds of microbes could survive on other planets. In her work at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, she recreates Mars-like environments that test lifeforms' resilience to the rigours of the Red Planet. And if there are harmful pathogens in space, how do we make sure these missions don't bring them back to Earth? Anand talks to ‘planetary protection officer' Silvio Sinibaldi from the European Space Agency, who explains what experts are doing to protect us. He helps Anand get suited and booted in specialist clothing so they can enter a highly sterile environment called a ‘clean room', where things being sent to space are built. He also meets Paul Meacham, former chief engineer on the Rosalind Franklin Rover. The rover is being sent to Mars to try to determine whether life ever existed there, and even whether it still does. Paul shows us around the Airbus Defence and Space site where his team built the rover and explains high-tech measures to avoid contamination. And what would a programme on space be without an astronaut? Anand meets Kate Rubins, who spent 300 days on the International Space Station. While she was there, she ran experiments investigating what happens to microbes in space. It turns out that microbes affect humans differently in orbit to how they affect us on Earth.

Democracy is under pressure. Human rights are increasingly contested. And around the world, authoritarian leaders are gaining ground.In this episode of Ways to Change the World, Krishnan Guru-Murthy speaks to Binaifer Nowrojee, president of the Open Society Foundations, one of the world's most influential human rights organisations. From documenting sexual violence during the Rwandan genocide to leading a global network dedicated to democracy, justice and human rights.Nowrojee reflects on the growing backlash against women's rights, the mounting pressure facing civil society groups, and the future of international law in the aftermath of conflicts from Ukraine to Gaza. She also discusses the controversy surrounding billionaire philanthropy, why she believes human rights are not in retreat, and the reasons she remains hopeful about the next generation's willingness to fight for freedom and dignity.Drawing on her own experience growing up under authoritarian rule in Kenya, she argues that progress is rarely linear - but that the struggle for justice is never finished.

Hello, hello!

by Christian Medical & Dental Associations® What does it take to build one of the most advanced cardiac surgery centers in East Africa — from a napkin sketch to a 400,000-square-foot hospital treating hundreds of open-heart patients a year? In this episode of Faith in Healthcare, host Dr. Mike Chupp sits down with two of his closest friends and former colleagues, Dr. Russ White and Dr. Carol Spears, both veteran missionary surgeons at Tenwek Hospital in Kenya.

Missionary Letter - Kenya

Medical missionaries are often called upon to provide care that is beyond the scope of their training and previous experience. This interactive case presentation looks at the realities of clinical decision-making in a critically ill snakebitten patient, and offers suggestions on how to navigate similar challenging situations.

Au Kenya, le kiswahili est désigné par la Constitution comme langue nationale. Il unifie les plus de 40 communautés du pays et il est enseigné à l'école. C'est donc naturellement qu'une littérature en kiswahili s'est constituée et enrichie dans le pays ces dernières décennies, même si les difficultés du secteur de l'édition limitent encore son développement.  De notre correspondante à Nairobi,  Chez Nuria, librairie du centre-ville de Nairobi, une section est dédiée à la littérature en kiswahili. Viviane Taura, libraire, présente quelques auteurs kényans : « Le premier est Kithaka wa Mberia. Il a écrit plusieurs ouvrages qui sont vraiment très captivants, comme Kifo Kisimani ou encore Doa… On trouve aussi Ken Walibora et son roman Kufa Kuzikana. Nous avons plein de livres ici ! » Malgré la compétition très forte avec les ouvrages en anglais, cette littérature trouve preneur. « Nous voyons principalement des parents qui viennent en acheter pour leurs enfants, poursuit la libraire, parce qu'ils veulent qu'ils se familiarisent avec des nouvelles en kiswahili. » Le genre connaît un essor marqué au Kenya depuis plusieurs décennies. « Il fut un temps, au début des années 1990, où les écrivains tanzaniens dominaient la scène, y compris au Kenya, explique Mwenda Mbatiah, professeur de littérature en kiswahili à l'université de Nairobi. Mais cela a changé. Les Kényans s'imposent désormais sur la scène littéraire kiswahili au Kenya. Cela s'explique en partie par la demande croissante de littérature en kiswahili dans notre système éducatif. » À lire aussiCréer en langues africaines: Nigeria, littérature en yoruba et roman fondateur de D.O. Fagunwa [1/5]   Des publications qui ciblent le marché scolaire Mais ce succès a son revers. « Nous avons des maisons d'édition prêtes à publier des ouvrages en kiswahili. Le seul problème, c'est qu'elles ciblent principalement le marché scolaire, regrette Mwenda Mbatiah. Mon inquiétude est que la lecture en swahili reste confinée au système éducatif. Il serait plus utile que le kiswahili puisse attirer des lecteurs au-delà. C'est ainsi que nous pourrons encourager les écrivains à être créatifs et innovants. » Selon lui, cette dépendance tend à orienter les thèmes abordés afin de répondre aux exigences des programmes scolaires. Pour autant, le professeur, lui-même auteur, ne s'inquiète pas pour l'avenir. « Il n'y a pas de pénurie d'écrivains en kiswahili, rassure-t-il. Des livres en kiswahili continueront à être écrits. D'ailleurs, la tradition orale de la littérature kiswahili est toujours vivante : des récits sont racontés, des poèmes sont déclamés à la radio et à la télévision. Et cela est très important pour le développement de la littérature. » La production en kiswahili se retrouve aussi parfois au théâtre : Kifo Kisimani de Kithaka wa Mberia a ainsi été rejouée en août 2025. Publiée en 2001, à la fin du régime autoritaire de Daniel arap Moi, la pièce met en scène, dans un royaume fictif, un jeune homme arrêté et torturé pour avoir défié un pouvoir oppressif.

Dino Martins has plucked maggots out of a dead elephant, pulled botflies out of camel snot, and willingly let a horsefly feast on him. Why? Because he's obsessed with parasites. Dino is an entomologist who grew up in rural Kenya, and he's worked all over the world studying how insects keep this planet alive. And along the way, he met some of the world's most iconic freeloaders, which he describes in his new book, “Hidden Creatures: Luscious Leeches, Bashful Botflies, and the Wondrous, History-Shaping World of Parasites.” Flora speaks with Dino about his unlikely journey into science, the beauty and disgust of parasites, and why these little moochers deserve more of our care. Read an excerpt from “Hidden Creatures: Luscious Leeches, Bashful Botflies, and the Wondrous, History-Shaping World of Parasites.” Guest: Dr. Dino Martins is an entomologist and evolutionary biologist based in Malindi, Kenya.  Other episodes you may enjoy: Tiny wasps emerge from a caterpillar, and reveal a hidden world Should We Conserve Parasites?

John Kilmer is back — and this time, Glenn and Phyllis wanted to go all the way in on somatic work and embodiment. What starts as a simple breathing exercise turns into a full tour of the body: where joy lives, where shame hides, why so many of us have been trained since childhood to ignore what our bodies are telling us.

A Sudanese court has sentenced the leader of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo - known as Hemedti - to death for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide over atrocities committed in the West Darfur region. Hemedti, along with 15 other senior RSF leaders were sentenced in absentia. We look at what this means for the RSF and its three-year civil war with the Sudan Armed Forces. And in Kenya, whistleblowers are tipping off police, helping authorities intervene before girls undergo female genital mutilation.

In this special 9-week series, listeners will hear from three different groups—GenX paired with Millennials, Gen Z, and Boomers with a mix of the Silent Generation. Their conversations cover a variety of topics including technology, unity in the Church, racism, and parenting. Grouped by similar ages, these 12 individuals share their unique views, opinions, and convictions based on their generational upbringing and views of the world. Ranging from ages 16 to 81, we're covering 5 different generations with 16 different guests.In this episode, our Boomers group discusses polarity in the church, optimism (or lack of) for unity, whether society is less racist today compared to generations before, whether they consider themselves patriotic, and if they see the USA as a Christian nation. Susan ChapmanSusan Chapman has been a part of Seacoast's Mount Pleasant Campus for ten years, where she and her husband Roy serve as table leaders at Next Steps and volunteer in the bookstore. Susan's passion is intercessory prayer — a calling that has shaped much of her life and the lives of those around her. Susan was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, where she met Roy in high school. They married in 1965 and have built a rich life together over the past 60 years, rooted in faith, family, and friendship. They have two children — a son and a daughter — and warmly claim their son-in-law John as their own. Their two grandchildren are a delight: their grandson recently graduated from North Greenville University, and their granddaughter just graduated from middle school. It was in Decatur, Georgia, in the early 1970s that Susan's spiritual journey began to take deep root. Her time in Bible study and God's word brought about changes that were visible to everyone around her — including Roy, who began searching for what was behind them. Looking back, Susan can clearly see God's hand at work throughout her life. In 1977, the family relocated to the Philadelphia area, and once again God's provision was evident. Susan found a wonderful community of people there who remain among her closest and dearest friends to this day. After 28 years, she and Roy moved to Summerville in 2005, where they have been putting down roots ever since. One of Susan's great joys at Next Steps has been discovering just how small the world really is — the unexpected connections, the familiar faces from years past, the strangers who turn out to be anything but. She also treasures staying in touch with lifelong friends now scattered across seven states. In her free time, Susan enjoys reading, jigsaw puzzles, and time with family and friends. She and Roy are devoted University of Georgia football fans, and one of their favorite traditions is spending time at Litchfield Beach, a place they have returned to for over 50 years. When it comes to food, Susan's Southern spread says everything you need to know about her: summer squash, butter beans, tomatoes, iced tea, and optional fried chicken. She still remembers when her aunt's phone number was simply 2524 — before area codes existed — and when ten rolls of toilet paper cost a dollar. Susan Chapman is someone who remembers where she came from, holds tightly to the people she loves, and keeps showing up — in prayer, in service, and in life.Brian LewisBrian Lewis has been a pastor at Seacoast's Mount Pleasant campus for 11 years, leading Men's Ministry and Seniors Ministry. He has been married to Andrea for 32 years and has one daughter, Addison. Born, raised, and educated in Atlanta, Georgia — a Georgia Tech graduate — Brian is the youngest of five children, two of whom are now with the Lord. He has been part of the Seacoast family for 21 years.In his free time, Brian enjoys cooking, DIY projects, golf, travel, and music. Andrea describes him as a renaissance man — curious about everything and a true dabbler. He has visited 42 states and 6 continents, attended both Obama inaugurations with his family, and made seven trips to Kenya for global missions, with one trip to Honduras as well. Brian loves a good argument or debate, as long as it doesn't get too emotional, and will happily argue either side of an interesting topic.Joe RiddellJoe has been a part of the Seacoast family for 25 years. Lived in Charleston his whole life and a general contractor for 37 years.  Married to Carol for 29 years, he has two kids ages 34 and 27 and two grandkids almost four and almost two. In his own words, he's Just a guy who loves Jesus, loves his family and loves his church. Sandy StaffordSandy Stafford is a retired art teacher who spent 40 years at James Island Charter High School before retiring in 2020. She has two grown sons and a thirteen-year-old granddaughter, and became a member of Seacoast at the James Island campus. In her free time, Sandy enjoys traveling, nature walks, and all types of art-making.

There are some places you visit because they have always been on your bucket list. Then there are places that mean something to you long before you ever arrive. Normandy was one of those places for Scott. Both of his grandfathers served in the Army in the European theater during World War II. Neither of them stormed the beaches of Normandy, but one of my grandfathers helped build temporary bridges during the war, helping Allied forces continue moving across Europe. His brother also served and received both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star for his acts of valor. I remember being a child and my great-aunt showing me those medals. At that age, I do not think I fully understood what they represented, but I remembered them. Now, all these years later, we were heading to Normandy. We were going to stand on the beaches, walk through the cemeteries, see the remains of the German defenses, and visit the places where thousands of young men were asked to do something almost unimaginable. We often call them the Greatest Generation. After visiting Normandy, I understand that description a little differently than I did before. But our trip to Normandy actually started somewhere completely different. It started with Monet's garden, a tiny Citroën, two very aggressive truck drivers, and my sudden discovery that apparently I like quiche. This episode takes you through the places we visited, along with tips and suggestions for planning your trip. This was as emotional to record as it was walking through these sites when we visited. Standing in the places where this happens makes me realize just how much this one day changed the course of our history forever, and the bravery and sacrifice that took place here. We think it is a place that every American who is able should visit at least once in their life. Some links are affiliate links. See our disclosure.

Ancient Egypt isn't just something you read about in a school history book or see in an old Elizabeth Taylor movie. It was a real, thriving civilization filled with people who lived, loved, worked, governed, worshipped, and left behind evidence that they had been there. Millennia later, we still know their stories because someone took the time to document, preserve, and pass them on.Standing in a papyrus gallery in modern-day Egypt and learning how ancient writings survived for thousands of years made me think differently about personal branding. Your personal brand helps preserve your ideas, your work, and the story of the impact you made. It also gives you the opportunity to shape that story for yourself instead of leaving someone else to define what you are known for.In Part 2 of my Paula Out of Africa series, I'm taking you through the Egyptian leg of my trip, from Cairo and the Nile to the Grand Egyptian Museum, the pyramids, and the Sphinx. I'm sharing why joy belongs in your personal brand, how your vision can expand before anyone else sees it, and why documenting your expertise matters if you want your work to continue speaking when you are no longer in the room.If you have ever assumed your work will speak for itself, this episode makes the case for giving it a voice.2:03 – How Paula's arrival in Egypt was completely different from when she first set foot in Kenya5:02 – Real joy as a brand asset and credibility as a reward for authentically expressing it7:24 – How a photo taken on a dock overlooking the Nile expanded Paula's vision for her brand8:40 – Highlights from the breathtaking Grand Egyptian Museum tour10:54 – The importance of owning your story and not letting others define your professional reputation12:54 – What ancient paper can teach you about showcasing and protecting your expertise (and legacy)15:31 – A valuable business reminder from vendors hustling outside the pyramids17:16 – Why building a stronger personal brand might start with leaving your calendar behindMentioned In Paula Out of Africa, Part 2: Egypt and What Your Personal Brand PreservesPaula Out of Africa, Part 1: Kenya, Wonder, and the Brand You're BecomingPaula's Cairo Photo AlbumNational Bar AssociationGrand Egyptian MuseumCurated Resources from PaulaSign up for Paula's Upcoming Events Learn More About Paula's Personal Branding Strategy Session OfferSubscribe to The Branding Room Only podcast on YouTubeCall to ActionFollow & Review: If you enjoyed this episode, leave a 5-star review on your favorite podcast platform! Want more ways to grow your personal brand?

Over the past 18 months, some of the most violent attacks against persecuted Christians anywhere in the world have taken place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a country where more than 100 armed groups – many motivated by Islamist ideals – vie for territory and influence. Dr David Kasali, founder and president of Congo Initiative, tells how Christians are responding and enduring, how they are choosing to be victors instead of victims. Listen as he shares how he trains Christians to overcome their fears and how he prays for Christ's Kingdom to be established in DRC, just as it is in heaven. He'll also share how Congo Initiative is welcoming Christians from around the world to come and serve in various roles. "We have to work," Dr Kasali says, "for the coming Kingdom of God." He'll also share the story of his calling by God to return to Congo – leaving behind an education ministry he truly loved in Kenya – to serve and strengthen the persecuted church in DRC. Finally, he'll equip listeners to pray specifically for the needs of persecuted Christians in the Congo. Please note, there is no FLR reel this week (because we skipped the one for China).

Rachel McDonough grew up in Kenya as the daughter of missionaries, where she saw both deep poverty and the faith of parents who trusted God enough to follow His call across the world. Those early experiences planted a lasting conviction that every resource we hold belongs to God and can be used to bring life, freedom, and hope to others. After nearly two decades in wealth management, Rachel began asking a deeper question: what story is our capital telling? In this conversation, Rachel shares how God led her to build Wealth Squared, a firm that helps families align their investments, giving, and financial plans with biblical values. She explains how impact investing can direct capital toward businesses that promote human flourishing, and discusses themes from her new book, The River and the Garden, which uses story to explore stewardship, family unity, and Kingdom impact. This episode offers a hopeful vision for using wealth as a tool to cultivate lasting fruit for God's Kingdom, and invites you to consider where He may be calling your resources to grow. Major Topics Include: Hearing and following God's call Stewarding wealth as entrusted capital Investing as a moral and spiritual act Aligning portfolios with biblical values Distinguishing provision from impact assets Discovering your unique Kingdom DNA Using impact investing for human flourishing Building family unity around stewardship Integrating head, heart, and Spirit Finishing faithfully with resources God provides QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Capital tells a story.” “Even though I'm a small human with finite resources and a limited lifespan and limited dollars in the bank account, God can take something small, and if it's surrendered to Him, He can do something way bigger than any of us could ever ask or imagine.” “There is both an opportunity and a responsibility of being a Christ follower who is holding on to the resources that God owns and has entrusted.” “Some businesses create goods and services that help human flourishing, and others create bads and disservices.” “Fruitfulness comes from obeying what God shows you to do, not from having the right strategy.” “There are some biblical principles that are universally true, but there are also unique pieces of Kingdom DNA wired into the heart of each person.” “Once I know how much is enough for provision, I get freedom to ask what the purpose of the remaining assets should be.” “The faithful finisher asks, ‘Lord, what else? I'm not dead yet.'” “We need to let our heads and hearts work together more in harmony and be led by the Spirit.” “Real unity is hard work, but it is deep and worthy work.” “I want to be Jonathan's armor bearer for my clients. What's in your heart to do? Let's go take that hill.” “Faith-driven investing and impact investing right now is the revival that God has released on the earth.” “Find a financial advisor who wants to help you hear and follow God's voice.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Rachel McDonough and Wes Lyons on How Investors Are Taking Down Human Trafficking (see our past interview here) The River and the Garden by Rachel McDonough Wealth Squared Kingdom Advisors (see our interview with founder, Ron Blue) Eagle Freedom Fund (see out interview with cofounder Wes Lyons) Talanton Caleb Breakey, Founder of Renown Publishing (see our past interview here) BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW John 15:5 | Abiding Bears Fruit “I am the vine; you are the branches.

Applied Generosity helps make sense of the hundreds of stories we've shared on the Finish Line Podcast to help you find that best next step.

Samaritan's Purse (SP) has a well-established hospital and deep community ties in DRC's Ituri province. Vice President Ken Isaacs describes how SP pivoted during the unfolding Ebola outbreak, launching Ebola treatment centers. Humanitarian assistance reaches close to 200,000. Health workers have been very vulnerable to infection. "We have lost three." Expansion of international staff requires coping with the possibility of a 21-day isolation period before returning home. "What they need are Ebola fighters." Addressing malaria is essential. There is not yet a clear path to take care of international staff that get sick. If the U.S. facility in Kenya served a wide array of international Ebola fighters, that would be well received.

Pape Thiaw remercié après un mondial jugé décevant. De quoi faire réagir la presse ouest-africaine. « Le football, domaine de passions et d'ingratitude » titre par exemple Le Pays au Burkina Faso. « Les entraîneurs sont, le plus souvent, les boucs émissaires en cas de contreperformances d'une sélection nationale », rappelle le titre, qui revient, comme beaucoup d'autres, sur les conditions de ce mondial. Le Djely, à Conakry, souligne par exemple le renouvellement tardif du contrat de l'entraîneur, qui a « empoisonné les préparatifs des Lions de la Téranga ». « Comment exiger des résultats d'un homme dont on tarde à signer le contrat, le laissant travailler dans une incertitude permanente sur son propre avenir ? » s'interroge le titre. À Dakar, plusieurs figures du foot sénégalais volent au secours de Pape Thiaw. Senego relate ainsi les propos de l'ancien entraîneur des Lions, Diomansy Kamara. Pape Thiaw a été victime d'un « bashing impressionnant » s'indigne-t-il, avant de poursuivre : « les responsabilités ne peuvent pas reposer sur un seul homme ». Quel avenir pour les Lions ? Qui pour remplacer Pape Thiaw ? Plusieurs noms sont cités par Dsports à Dakar. Celui d'Hervé Renard, « l'un des entraîneurs les plus expérimentés du continent » souligne le titre, celui aussi d'Habib Beye. Mais le nom qui revient le plus, c'est celui de Patrick Vieira. Seneweb s'interroge : est-il « l'homme de la situation pour le Sénégal ? » Champion du monde 98 avec la France, il jouit d'une « aura incontestable auprès des joueurs » veut croire le site d'information, qui tempère tout de même : son parcours de technicien est « beaucoup plus sinueux ». À lire aussiSénégal: le sélectionneur Pape Thiaw limogé après un Mondial décevant Dégel des relations entre l'Algérie et le Mali Après 15 mois de brouille, les deux voisins ont rouvert leurs espaces aériens. Les ambassadeurs vont regagner leurs postes. « Le dégel diplomatique qui change tout pour le Sahel », applaudit Maliactu, qui rappelle que la crise a coûté cher, « très cher » aux deux pays : « Des commerçants maliens qui avaient perdu leurs marchés en Algérie. Des étudiants bloqués dans leur pays. Des familles séparées. » « Le temps de la rupture aura rappelé à tous le prix de la mésentente entre deux voisins stratégiques » lance pour sa part Maliweb, pour qui « cette normalisation intervient à un moment crucial », à l'heure où « le Sahel fait face à des défis sécuritaires majeurs, au terrorisme et aux crises humanitaires ». « Aujourd'hui, conclut le site, la crise est derrière. La coopération doit maintenant reprendre. » L'épidémie d'Ebola continue de s'étendre en RDC La fièvre hémorragique s'est propagée à Kisangani, le chef-lieu de la province de la Tshopo. « La maladie ne provoque pas que des morts, elle touche aussi l'économie locale », pointe Radio Okapi, qui s'est rendu à Béni dans le Nord-Kivu. Sur place, le prix du petit bétail a « presque triplé sur les marchés ». Les éleveurs et commerçants interrogés par la radio y voient notamment une conséquence de la fermeture de la frontière entre la RDC et l'Ouganda, où ils s'approvisionnent. Il n'y a pas qu'en RDC que la maladie inquiète. La presse kenyane s'alarme du manque de préparation du gouvernement. Le Daily Nation résume la situation ainsi : « Le Kenya est prêt à détecter Ebola, mais pas encore totalement préparé à le combattre ». Le journal a mis la main sur un rapport interne du gouvernement, qui révèle « d'importantes faiblesses dans la capacité du pays à gérer une épidémie d'Ebola ». Le titre s'inquiète notamment de « pénuries d'équipements de protection individuelle, de kits de dépistage et de produits de prévention des infections », mais aussi de manque de capacité de certains centres opérationnels d'urgence.

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

In this Sunday Interview, Brad Onishi sits down with historian and former CIA Africa analyst Holly Berkley Fletcher, author of The Missionary Kids: Unmasking the Myths of White Evangelicalism. Drawing on her experience growing up as a Southern Baptist missionary kid in Kenya, Fletcher explores how the evangelical missionary movement became intertwined with American exceptionalism, racial hierarchy, patriarchy, and Christian nationalism. Together, they examine why missionary culture often functions as a form of spiritual bypassing—allowing white evangelicals to see themselves as heroes abroad while avoiding difficult conversations about racism, power, and injustice at home. The conversation also explores the hidden costs of missionary life, including abuse, isolation, authoritarianism, and the impossible expectations placed on missionary families. Fletcher explains how the same dynamics that have fueled the Southern Baptist abuse crisis and evangelical support for Donald Trump emerge from a culture rooted in fear, certainty, and hierarchy. It's a wide-ranging discussion about faith, identity, and the future of American evangelicalism—and why understanding the missionary movement helps explain some of the most pressing religious and political conflicts in the United States today.

Can a heavy metal musician help transform global food systems? In this inspiring conversation, Darin sits down with internationally acclaimed bassist Tanya O'Callaghan to explore the unlikely intersection of rock and roll, activism, compassion, and human connection. Best known for touring with artists including Whitesnake, Bruce Dickinson, Dee Snider, and Steven Adler, Tanya reveals that long before she ever picked up a bass guitar, she was fighting for animal rights and questioning the systems that shape our world. Together they discuss how curiosity breaks down cultural barriers, why meaningful change begins with conversations instead of confrontation, and how leading by example can inspire transformation in the most unexpected places—from helping a Vietnam veteran reclaim his health through plant-forward eating to partnering with Maasai communities in Kenya to improve access to clean water and sustainable agriculture. This episode is ultimately about integrity: living in alignment with your values, remaining open to learning from others, and remembering that changing your plate can become one of the simplest ways to change the world. What You'll Learn How Tanya built a career touring with legendary rock musicians Why activism became her life's purpose before music The childhood experience that led her to become vegan How curiosity creates connection across vastly different cultures Why compassion is more effective than confrontation Tanya's work with Maasai communities in Kenya The importance of sustainable agriculture and clean water The inspiring story of Bob, a Vietnam veteran whose life changed through friendship and food Why community begins with your neighbors How travel expands empathy and challenges assumptions Why whole-food, plant-forward eating benefits people, animals, and the planet How living with integrity creates ripple effects far beyond yourself Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:35 – Sponsor: Alkemis Paint 00:03:26 – Introducing Tanya O'Callaghan 00:04:31 – Twenty years touring with rock legends 00:07:21 – Balancing music with lifelong activism 00:08:34 – Building a career by saying "yes" 00:10:47 – Growing up in rural Ireland 00:13:05 – Challenging the education system and questioning authority 00:15:28 – Why activism begins with curiosity 00:17:02 – Sponsor: Shakeology 00:18:48 – The childhood moment that changed Tanya's life forever 00:21:03 – Becoming a lifelong animal rights advocate 00:23:08 – Compassion, food systems, and cognitive dissonance 00:26:09 – Why kindness—not judgment—creates change 00:31:19 – Meeting a Maasai leader and building an unexpected friendship 00:34:15 – Bringing clean water and sustainable agriculture to Kenya 00:36:32 – Learning from indigenous wisdom and traditional food systems 00:40:20 – Why whole-food, plant-forward eating doesn't have to be complicated 00:43:48 – Open-mindedness as the foundation for meaningful collaboration 00:47:08 – Why curiosity matters more than being right 00:50:11 – Bob: the Vietnam veteran who became family 00:53:24 – Showing up for your neighbors during unimaginable tragedy 00:57:10 – Food as a bridge for healing and friendship 01:00:10 – Community begins with ordinary acts of kindness 01:03:08 – Why labels divide and stories unite 01:05:15 – Living in alignment with your values 01:08:08 – The courage to question systems 01:10:48 – Finding purpose through resistance 01:11:45 – Staying true to the little girl who never stopped fighting 01:13:15 – Final reflections: changing plates can change the world Thank You to Our Sponsors Shakeology: Get 15% off with code DARINO1BODI at Shakeology.com.

Whether you're connecting with a neighbor, collaborating with indigenous communities halfway across the world, or simply making more conscious choices about the food on your plate, kindness and curiosity create possibilities that judgment never can. Living with integrity doesn't require perfection; it requires consistently aligning your actions with your values. When enough people make those small daily choices, changing your plate truly can help change the world."

Alopecia, the medical term for hair loss, affects an estimated 160 million people worldwide. Some forms of the condition disproportionately affect black women, due to a combination of factors including hairstyles that place tension on the hair, as well as genetic and hormonal influences. Now, some dermatologists are also saying they're seeing more cases, particularly among younger people. Meanwhile, researchers in Japan have hinted at potential new treatments for hair loss. Focus on Africa podcast host Nkechi Ogbonna spoke to 23-year-old Sharon Chepkoech, known online as Kechi, from Kenya, and 47-old-year Mpume Dlamini from South Africa about their experience of living with alopecia and how they are using social media to raise awareness of the condition.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Fana Negash, Carolyne Kiambo and Keikantse Shumba Senior Producer: Priya Sippy and Bella Twine Technical Producer: Jonathan Mwangi Editors: Charles Gitonga and Maryam Abdalla

In this episode, host Bill Thompson sits down with Dr. Pius Kamau, a surgeon, author, and human rights advocate, to discuss his powerful new memoir, *Running with Lions*. Growing up in Kenya under the shadow of British colonialism and the violent Mau Mau uprising, Dr. Kamau's future was entirely uncertain. Yet, fueled by his father's unwavering belief that education was his "northern star," he once walked hundreds of miles to pursue school. Dr. Kamau shares stories of overcoming systemic racism, surviving a horrific car crash that killed two of his professors and scarred his hand, and building a 38-year career as a surgeon. They also discuss his return to post-independence Kenya, the complex realities of its newfound freedom, and his current mission combating human cruelty as a board member of the Coalition Against Global Genocide.Get your copy of Running With Lions by Pius KamauAs an Amazon Associate, Now I've Heard Everything may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Pius Kamau and His Memoir 03:01 The Journey of Education and Overcoming Adversity 05:54 Racism and Its Impact on Life Experiences 08:51 Resilience and the Will to Succeed 12:06 The Aftermath of a Life-Changing Accident 15:08 Parental Influence and the Value of Education 18:04 Reflections on Post-Independence Kenya 20:49 Advocacy Against Global Genocide 24:10 Closing Thoughts and Future AspirationsGuest InformationDr. Pius KamauSocial:Facebook InstagramCoalitoin Against Global Geocide 1991 interview with Hank AaronFor more intriguing and engaging interviews each week, subscribe now on:Spotify Apple Podcasts YouTube

Once a quiet hobby for enthusiasts, ant-keeping has exploded into a global, multi-million-dollar business driven by social media and a rising wave of "ant-influencers". Demand for exotic species is fuelling a boom in online trading forums, and a new front in wildlife trafficking. We go to Kenya, where law enforcement has made global headlines arresting gangs as they try to smuggle thousands of prized mated queens out of the country.

In “Spilling the Tea in the Mississippi Pine Belt” Gravy reporter Georgia Sparling explores the tea farms popping up in Mississippi's Pine Belt, where the tannic soil is perfect for growing tea. While many think of strong, syrupy sweet, ice-cold tea as quintessentially Southern, the only thing truly Southern about this ubiquitous beverage is how we drink it. Almost every tea leaf we consume in the United States comes from somewhere else.   Tea has been cultivated for more than 5,000 years, first in China and now in India, Nepal, Kenya, and even Argentina. Mississippi, though, seemed unlikely. The tea plant, Chinese camellia, tends to thrive in inhospitable places, such as mountains and hillsides. While the Pine Belt can certainly be inhospitable with its three-digit-degree summers, tornadoes, and dry spells, it's a wildly different climate than where most tea is grown. The soil, however, was just right for the acid-loving plants, which are known to adapt to their circumstances.   Still, much was unknown when The Great Mississippi Tea Company in Brookhaven and the Longleaf Tea Company in Laurel planted their first crops in 2011 and 2018, respectively. Tea is a long-term investment. It takes three to five years for the plants to become established and ready for harvest. After that, they can live for a century or more—that is, if they survive. Both farms experienced heavy losses during their first seasons of planting. Great Mississippi lost all four acres of their initial crop, while Longleaf lost 300 of their first 1,000 saplings.   But they replanted, and today these small but mighty farms have not only taken root but they are thriving. Great Mississippi and Longleaf are finding that not only do tea plants have a taste for Mississippi soil, but Mississippians (and beyond) have a taste for the delicate and complex flavors of Southern grown tea. Georgia Sparling visits these farms and learns what it takes to grow a perfect cup of tea. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up. Every group is capped at ten. It's small, personal, and powerful. If you've been waiting for the right time, this is it. So head over to Star Coach Show.

Last year Kenya's President William Ruto established a task force to investigate the escalating cases of gender-based violence including femicide. The task force travelled around the country gathering information and at the beginning of this year published its recommendations, which are now being debated in parliament. One of those recommendations is the legal recognition of femicide as a standalone crime. UN Women, the United Nations agency which promotes the empowerment and rights of girls and women, have been working with grassroots organisations in Kenya on male engagement strategies, to change perceptions of the role of men and women. But the UN Women's representative in Kenya, acknowledges that challenges remain. In the meantime, women continue to march in protest and the country waits to see if President Ruto will implement the task force recommendations. So, is Kenya serious about ending femicide?Contributors Shyleen Momanyi, executive director, Young Women's Leadership Institute, Nairobi, Kenya Dr Nancy Baraza, former deputy chief justice of the Republic of Kenya, senior law lecturer, University of Nairobi, chairperson of the technical working group on gender-based violence including femicide, Kenya Consuelo Corradi, professor of sociology, Lumsa University, Rome, Italy Antonia Sodonon, UN Women country representative, Kenya Presenter: Charmaine Cozier Producer: Jill Collins Researcher: Evie Yabsley Editor: Tom Bigwood Technical producer: Toby James Production management: Phoebe Lomas and Liam Morrey(Photo: Protesters attend a rally in Nairobi demanding an end to femicide, 27 January, 2024.

Chatting to Ian at Honeysuckle Cottage, Alice can't believe they want to take Brian to court. All Alice wants is for Martha to have a peaceful relationship with her grandfather – that's more important than money. When Adam arrives home, Alice is on the attack but he stops her – he's been to see his solicitor and has called it all off. When Alice leaves, a stunned Ian questions the change of heart – with his share of the profits Adam could have something worthwhile to show for his years in farming. Adam responds that a court case will create even more bad blood. He has his achievements in Kenya, he has Xander and Ian, and that's what counts. It may not be fair, but Brian will not change and they need to accept it. Grumbling about the heat in his window, Bert makes his way to the shop, getting in Susan's way and finally settling with some humbugs behind the counter. As Susan creates a display, she reveals her idea for a taster session at the shop to encourage more volunteers. She probes further about Clive's care and Bert disputes that he came back in a state. It's been a relief not to be preened and prodded all the time. He likes being at the shop after a miserable homecoming – perhaps he should volunteer! At Tracy's, Susan shares her idea – Bert should move to Ambridge View for a change of scene and to take the pressure off Tracy. Tracy wishes her sister luck as she will need to approach Neil with the concept.
