On today's Making Contact, our friends from the podcast, Kerning Cultures, bring us “Black Panthers in Algeria.” It's the story of when Elaine Mokhtefi landed in newly independent Algeria in the early 1960s and quickly found herself at the center of a special period in the country's history, at a time when Algiers welcomed liberation groups from across the world – earning a reputation as the “Mecca of revolution." In this unlikely setting, Elaine moved in the same circles as world famous radicals, ragtag political parties, spies and military leaders. And she became an unlikely sidekick to one of the most iconic liberation groups of our time, just as it was beginning to fall apart.

Fact checking by Eman Alsharif, sound design by Mohamad Khreizat, Paul Alouf and Alex Atack. Our team also includes Zeina Dowidar, Nadeen Shaker and Finbar Anderson.

While freedom of expression varies tremendously from one culture to another. It is crucial to keep in mind that oppression comes in all shapes and forms and because of that, one needs to take a look back and understand how every society that ever existed had it's very own types of both: freedom of expression and oppression. Freedom vs oppression drives societies. We are social beings we depend on one another for survival. So the question arises: how is freedom of expression depicted in one's own culture? Is freedom real at all? Or is it barely there but we tend to soothe ourselves by saying yes we have it we own it? This episode was produced by Yamama.

COVID-19 and the Erosion of Trust: Not Just a Local Issue In 2020, the world encountered a new virus- COVID-19. In a short time, millions were sick with flu-like symptoms, but many did not survive the sickness. Governments and health care systems were constantly giving new information and rumors also spread. This caused many people to not know what to do. In this episode, students from Yemen and the United States explore how the COVID-19 pandemic affected people in their countries and caused people to not trust what their governments or hospitals said about the illness. Two interviews, one in Yemen and one in the United States, show two different experiences people had with the virus and how it affected their loved ones. Finally, an interview with Dr. Alrabiai, a doctor in Yemen discusses what we can do in case something like this comes again.

How do you preserve a language when your government is actively trying to erase it? Abduweli Ayup is a Uyghur linguist who was trying to stop the Chinese government from replacing Uyghur with Mandarin. He had been studying the language's history, teaching Uyghur to younger students and writing books in Uyghur. But when the Chinese government began forcibly detaining Uyghurs in Xinjiang, his work got much riskier. Then, they came for Abduweli himself. This week on Kerning Cultures, Abduweli's fight to preserve his mother tongue. This episode originally aired in August 2019. Special thanks to Abduweli Ayup and his family for sharing their story, and to Arienne Dwyer and Timothy Grose. You can find a transcript for this episode here.

In the occasion of International Podcast Day, I'm proud to welcome …Hebah Fisher, the absolute pioneer in podcast across Mena Region! Half American and half Egyptian, brought up between Bahrain, Saudi, Egypt, UAE and the States, Hebah felt that there was no media that was speaking to her generation. Not the radio, nor the TV. So she ventured into podcasting and she built the very first Middle East podcast network: with 7 shows, in Arabic and English, and a team spread across 7 times zones. Thanks to her background as serial entrepreneur building microfinance and business education programs in the Gulf and the States, Hebah had the business acumen, the knowhow and the determination to reach out for investors at a time and in a sector that was still widely unexplored. This brought her to become the founder and CEO of the first venture backed podcast network in MENA, Kerning Cultures. What we're doing at Unlimited wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for someone like Hebah Fisher who literally paved our path. She's the one that started to tell the stories of this Region and we couldn't be happier to having her as our guest on Unlimited to tell her story.
