Podcasts about Lalibela

They want you to believe Lalibela was carved by hand, that Petra was simply forgotten, that the Minnesota State Capitol was just another construction project—but the truth is buried beneath layers of deception. Why is the same U.S. organization "restoring" sacred sites across the world? Why do history's most advanced structures mysteriously burn to the ground, over and over? These weren't discoveries—they were cover-ups. The same architectural fingerprints stretch across continents, hinting at a civilization wiped from history. And the deeper you dig, the more obvious it becomes—something massive was erasedSPONSOR LINK:Visit http://cbdistillery.com and enter code: RUMBLE - to save up to 40% on everything!Thank you all for your support of this channel!Every Subscriber, every Like, All Comments are huge in helping spread this research to new people every single week.

Heute entführen wir dich nach Lalibela, einem abgelegenen Dorf im Norden Äthiopiens, das ein außergewöhnliches Geheimnis birgt.

This past May, Norah O'Donnell met Pope Francis for a rare and historic interview at his home, the Santa Marta guest house in Vatican City, a week before the Catholic Church hosted its inaugural World Children's Day. The 88-year-old, Argentinian-born pope, the first named Francis and first from the Americas, is known for his dedication to the poor and marginalized, and for being the most unconventional head of the Church in recent memory. He spoke candidly with O'Donnell about the wars in Israel and Gaza, Ukraine, and the migration crises around the world and on the U.S. southern border. Their wide-ranging conversation also touched upon the Church's handling of its own sexual abuse scandals; Francis' deep commitment to inclusiveness within the Church; the backlash against his papacy from certain corners of U.S. Catholicism; and an exploration of his thinking on surrogate parenthood.Last month, the arched doors of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris opened to the public for the first time since April 2019, when a devastating fire nearly destroyed the great Gothic church. Correspondent Bill Whitaker had a first look inside a modern miracle of repair and restoration by workers and artisans who made possible French President Emmanuel Macron's impossible-sounding pledge to complete the rebirth in five years. As Macron told Whitaker, “The decision to rebuild Notre Dame was…about our capacity to save, restore, sometimes reinvent what we are by preserving where we come from.”Correspondent Scott Pelley travels to Ethiopia to witness the Christmas vigil at Lalibela, a mysterious holy place, where churches are situated on a 42-acre site and are said to be built by angels. Pelley witnesses 200,000 Ethiopian Orthodox Christians who pilgrimage on Christmas Eve to celebrate its origins and speaks with Fasil Giorghis, an Ethiopian architect and historian, who tells Pelley, “coming here as a devout Christian is a very strong sign of their belief…some people travel hundreds of kilometers here on foot, and they have been doing it for several centuries."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

En este programa contamos como invitado a Manuel Fernández Muñoz autor de la obra El Grial de la Alianza. La búsqueda del Arca de la Alianza nos llevará por medio mundo, siguiendo los propios pasos del autor, en un viaje sin retorno. En él descubriremos pruebas de la huida del pueblo hebreo de la tierra de Gosen y del origen egipcio de Moisés. Recorreremos Tierra Santa en busca de las dos Arcas, la que contenía las tablas rotas por Moisés, tras su regreso del Monte Sinaí, y la que contenía las definitivas, siguiendo el camino de ambas a lo largo del tiempo. Descubriremos las huellas de los caballeros templarios en las iglesias rupestres de Lalibela y la posibilidad de que trajeran a Europa una copia del relicario que contenía las tablas rotas por Moisés, relicario al que llamaron Santo Grial. Finalmente, todo este viaje nos conducirá a desvelar el Nombre Secreto de Dios, que se convertirá en el argumento principal de esta aventura, y con el que podríamos estar reescribiendo la Historia. «Desde tiempos inmemoriales, hombres y mujeres de toda condición y creencias han buscado los objetos más sagrados de la tradición hebrea por diferentes razones: unos por poder, otros por dinero y muchos movidos por la fe. Este libro responde también al llamado de esa aventura, poniendo a disposición del lector toda la información que he encontrado en mis numerosos viajes a través de los diferentes países del Libro en pos de la consecución de un sueño. A diferencia de otros, yo emprendí esta búsqueda porque soy un soñador, pero lo que no podía imaginar cuando comencé mi viaje es que, al final, conseguiría encontrar lo que andaba buscando y que podría traer a nuestros días la solución a un misterio que lleva oculto más de tres mil años. También hacia el final hablaremos del Santo Grial, los Templarios y de la descendencia sagrada. Revista digital La tortuga Avui. www.latortugaavui.com Redes: Instagram: area-hermetica-radio.

The Madonna and Child of Biete Mariam is found in the complex of rock hewn churches in Ethiopia. Build in the 12th century, these churches are treasures of Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity through art and architecture. The Madonna housed in Biete Mariam, which is the House Of Mary has much to offer in terms of reflection on the unifying presence of The Virgin Mary throughout history.

En la penumbra de la tarde, nos sumergimos en una conversación con el intrépido explorador Manuel Fernández Muñoz. Hablamos de un viaje que promete desvelar misterios ancestrales, un periplo audaz en busca del Arca de la Alianza, que nos arrastrará por los rincones más remotos de medio mundo. Nos aventuramos a seguir los pasos del autor, lanzándonos a un viaje sin retorno, donde cada paso es una página nueva en el libro de lo desconocido. En este viaje, desentrañaremos las pruebas ocultas de la huida del pueblo hebreo de la tierra de Gosen, y descubriremos los vestigios del Egipto ancestral que Moisés una vez llamó hogar. Nuestra travesía nos conducirá a través de los rincones sagrados de Tierra Santa, en la búsqueda incansable de las dos misteriosas Arcas. Una, que albergó las tablas rotas por Moisés tras su descenso del Monte Sinaí, y la otra, que resguardó las tablas definitivas, siguiendo un sendero perdido en el tiempo. En nuestro periplo, rastrearemos las huellas olvidadas de los legendarios caballeros templarios, quienes dejaron su impronta en las iglesias rupestres de Lalibela. Contemplaremos la intrigante posibilidad de que, en su travesía, trajeran a Europa una copia del relicario que resguardaba las tablas rotas por el profeta Moisés, a lo que llamaron el Santo Grial. El misterio crece a cada paso, y la historia se teje con hilos de leyenda y realidad. Y, finalmente, como joya cimera de esta aventura, nos encontramos ante el enigma supremo: el Nombre Secreto de Dios. Este enigma, que se erige como el eje principal de nuestra travesía, podría tener el poder de reescribir la historia tal como la conocemos. En este mundo de sombras y revelaciones, nos sumergimos, preparados para descubrir secretos que han permanecido ocultos durante milenios y que, en este instante, esperan ser revelados al mundo con la tinta de la aventura como testigo.

L'Afrique du Sud traverse une crise énergétique sans précédent qui l'oblige à repenser ses sources de production électrique. Les centrales à charbon vieillissantes, qui produisent plus 80% de l'électricité, tombent régulièrement en panne et polluent l'atmosphère. Face à l'urgence climatique et à la crise de la production électrique, le pays s'ouvre petit à petit aux énergies renouvelables, comme les éoliennes. Mais leur développement rencontre plusieurs obstacles. La ville portuaire de Port Elizabeth, récemment renommée Gqeberha, conserve un surnom évocateur : la cité venteuse. Plusieurs promoteurs veulent tirer profit de ce vent en développant des fermes éoliennes. Des projets auxquels s'oppose un groupement de réserves naturelles privées. « Certaines éoliennes sont pile en face de nous et si tous les projets aboutissaient, l'une des réserves serait quasiment encerclée, ce serait fatal pour son activité », explique Rob Gradwell qui représente la réserve de Lalibela.Avec seulement 1 300 éoliennes installées en Afrique du Sud, les turbines ne font pas encore vraiment partie du paysage et pourtant elles sont parfois rejetées. À terme, seront-elles acceptées ? Oui, selon cette famille originaire du Cap, qui visite le parc national des éléphants d'Addo, depuis lequel on peut apercevoir un champ d'éoliennes : « Ce n'est pas du tout un problème, au contraire, ça peut avoir un effet positif d'avoir davantage d'énergie renouvelable et durable sur le long terme », explique la femme. « On doit être le seul pays à connaître des délestages, des coupures d'électricité programmées, donc on a besoin des éoliennes », poursuit le mari. « On en a vu beaucoup sur la route, c'est joli ! », ajoute leur fils.La demande dépasse l'offreLeur développement a connu un coup de frein dans les provinces où le réseau électrique manque de capacité. La demande dépasse l'offre explique Nick Hedley, chercheur et éditorialiste sur les questions de climat et d'énergie. « Les dernières statistiques du régulateur de l'énergie sud-africain montrent que les projets en attente de disponibilité sur le réseau représentent une puissance de 20 gigawatts. Ce sont surtout des projets portés par des industries manufacturières qui veulent produire leur propre énergie et une majorité d'entre elles misent sur l'éolien ». Le réseau électrique devra gagner en capacité si l'Afrique du Sud veut profiter de l'abondance de ses ressources en énergie renouvelable. « On a d'excellentes ressources éoliennes, en particulier sur les côtes du Cap Occidental et du Cap Oriental. On n'a pas encore d'éolien en mer, mais le potentiel est très important », ajoute Nick Hedley.Pour se développer, l'énergie éolienne devra surmonter des défis techniques et se faire accepter par la population. Les promoteurs pourront concourir lors d'un nouvel appel d'offre qui doit s'ouvrir au mois de juin.

Thousands of supporters of Brazil's recently defeated president, Jair Bolsonaro, have invaded the National Congress, Supreme Court and Presidential palace. Also in the programme: Rev Frank Chikane remembers the former South African apartheid minister, Adriaan Vlok, who tried to kill him but later repented; and tens of thousands of Orthodox Christians in Ethiopia celebrate Christmas in the historic town of Lalibela, the first time they've been able to do so in three years, because of the country's civil war.

Não se escuta, em dezembro, música natalina no comércio de Adis Abeba nem se vê luzes coloridas e enfeites com este tema pelas principais ruas da agitada cidade, ao contrário de várias outras capitais pelo mundo. A Etiópia é um dos países onde a população, de maioria cristã ortodoxa, celebra o nascimento de Jesus Cristo no dia 7 de janeiro. O calendário local é diferente do gregoriano, o mais usado no mundo. Vinícius Assis, correspondente da RFI na África No segundo país mais populoso do continente africano (são cerca de 120 milhões de habitantes), esta é uma data sem muito apelo comercial, bem mais voltada para a simbologia religiosa. “Os etíopes realmente celebram o nascimento de Jesus, mesmo que seja em datas totalmente diferentes”, afirma a brasileira Luana Michele Alves da Cunha, que há 12 anos vive na Etiópia. Mas ela conta que o marido, etíope, também “já se acostumou com a celebração do nosso Natal”. O feriado neste país, em janeiro, também marca o fim de 43 dias de jejum, que muitos fiéis costumam seguir à risca, todo ano, desde 25 de novembro. Durante este período de preparação para a data, espera-se que eles não consumam alimentos de origem animal nem bebidas alcoólicas. Alguns fazem apenas uma refeição por dia. Assim como no Brasil, é um dia para, pelo menos em tese, se estar com a família. Quem vive na capital do país costuma voltar para a região de origem nesta época. Peregrinos visitam as monumentais igrejas escavadas em rochas na cidade de Lalibela, um dos destinos turísticos mais procurados, mas a ida ao templo mais próximo é um programa sagrado para muitos. Vigília nas igrejas A vigília nas igrejas espalhadas pelo país começa na noite anterior ao dia em que se celebra o nascimento de Cristo por aqui. As mulheres precisam cobrir os cabelos com uma espécie de echarpe branca com as pontas bordadas chamada netele, peça tradicional no guarda-roupa das etíopes. Os homens costumam estar com o dorso envolvido em uma vestimenta tradicional branca chamada gabi, também feita de algodão, porém bem mais grossa e maior que a netele. Morando na Etiópia há quatro anos, a professora brasileira Eliene Nogueira já presenciou essas cerimônias em locais públicos. “Geralmente não são dentro das igrejas, porque não tem espaço para todo mundo. São distribuídas velas e eles as acendem para comemorar, como se fosse a estrela de Belém”, contou. Tradições São tradições que marcam o Natal etíope, retratadas em imagens que sempre correm o mundo, mas não são seguidas por todos, principalmente os mais jovens. Em Adis Abeba também há os que aproveitam a noite de Natal, em janeiro, em bares e boates. “Depende do quão religiosa a pessoa é”, esclarece a médica etíope Hermela Maru. Ela se considera flexível quando o assunto é tradição. Mesmo sendo cristã ortodoxa, não faz o jejum nos 43 dias que antecedem o Natal no país dela, por exemplo. A médica lembra que a data aqui também é sinônimo de ter a família reunida em torno da mesa, especialmente para saborear um dos pratos mais emblemáticos dos feriados etíopes: doro wat, uma espécie de guisado feito com frango, cebola, ovos cozidos, (bastante) óleo e temperos, como o tradicional berbere. O prato leva mais de 10 horas para ficar pronto e costuma ser preparado no dia anterior. Quem tem melhores condições financeiras compra um cordeiro ou um boi para o brunch de Natal. “Normalmente a família se reúne na casa dos avós ou do parente mais idoso ainda vivo”, contou Hermela. Não há Papai Noel nem troca de presentes em janeiro na Etiópia. “A menos que você vá visitar alguém, aí pode até levar algo para a família, mas não existe isso de árvore de Natal cheia de presentes, como no Ocidente”, completou a médica etíope. A brasileira Rafaela de Costa Carvalho, gerente de contratos, também é casada com um etíope, há dez anos. Atualmente o casal mora nos Estados Unidos com as duas filhas. Ela lembrou de um detalhe que o Natal etíope tem em comum com a celebração brasileira. “A única semelhança que tem entre o Natal etíope e o brasileiro é que algumas famílias, que têm acesso, gostam de comer panetone. Acho que é essa pequena influência italiana que teve aí”, disse. A Etiópia é considerada o único país da África que não foi colonizado, apesar de a ocupação por tropas italianas ter durado cinco anos (de 1936 até 1941). Seis semanas atrás, a finlandesa Enna koskelo se mudou para Adis Abeba. Ela trabalha para a ONU Mulher, com projetos ligados a mulheres, paz e segurança. Por conta do trabalho, não conseguirá passar o Natal com a família na capital finlandesa, Helsinque. Enna cresceu como membro da Igreja Evangélica Luterana, como a maioria da população da Finlândia. “Mas não sou praticante”, destaca. Ela diz claramente que gosta de comemorar o Natal, como sempre fez. “É a celebração dos valores que eu trago da minha cultura, como a família. É também um jeito de lembrar de onde eu venho”, disse. A finlandesa mostrou à reportagem fotos e vídeos enviados nos últimos dias pela família. Enquanto nas recentes noites de Adis Abeba a temperatura tem ficado em torno dos 16 graus Celsius, os termômetros têm marcado - 9 graus Celsius na capital da Finlândia, onde as ruas estão cobertas de neve, o que rende cenários dignos de filmes natalinos de Hollywood. No ano passado ela passou o Natal em Nova Iorque com o namorado, pela primeira vez celebrando a data em outro país. Por conta das restrições impostas pela pandemia, conta que não comemoraram com festa. Mas, desta vez, está organizando uma celebração para a noite do próximo dia 24 com as pessoas que vivem na mesma casa em Adis Abeba e não viajarão. Quando era criança, Enna diz que nesta época se empolgava mais com os presentes que receberia do Papai Noel, que - diz a lenda - seria da Lapônia, norte da Finlândia. Mas hoje não. “Conexão entre as pessoas nesta data para mim é melhor do que presente e decoração de Natal”, diz. Estima-se que os cristãos ortodoxos representem pouco mais de 1% da população finlandesa. A maioria é descendente de russos. Mas Enna conta que não se lembra de ver celebrações natalinas entre eles como na Etiópia. “Eu também estou muito curiosa para saber mais sobre o Natal daqui, mas não acredito que eu tenha a chance de participar, porque me parece que é mesmo algo mais religioso e bem restrito às famílias”, disse. Normalmente quem se movimenta em dezembro em Adis Abeba por conta dos preparativos deste período, que no Ocidente é conhecido como o de festas de fim de ano, são os estrangeiros que vivem em uma das principais capitais da África, onde ficam a sede da União Africana, dezenas de embaixadas e organizações de diversos países. Estrangeiros Na maior cidade da Etiópia, no saguão de um luxuoso hotel que pertence a uma rede internacional, a reportagem encontrou uma grande árvore natalina decorada exatamente como se costuma ver com frequência em dezembro em praticamente todas as casas e empresas no Brasil. É algo raro na Etiópia. No local também havia um pequeno bazar, com pessoas vendendo livros e artesanatos sobre algumas mesas. A referência ao Natal neste ambiente é por conta da grande circulação de turistas estrangeiros. Por mais que etíopes também frequentem a piscina e os restaurantes do hotel “isso não representa a cultura da maioria local”, de acordo com Hermela Maru. Hermela Maru disse que, particularmente, não vê com maus olhos o fato de pessoas aqui celebrarem essas datas como no Ocidente, mas ao mesmo tempo ela diz que se preocupa, porque acha importante ressaltar a cultura do próprio país. "Adis Abeba está ficando mais moderna, internacional, mas as crianças etíopes precisam aprender nossas próprias músicas e brincadeiras tradicionais para se celebrar o Natal e o Ano Novo e temos que ter quem as ensine isso”, concluiu a médica etíope. No último fim de semana aconteceu, na capital etíope, o Bazar Diplomático de Caridade, depois de uma pausa de dois anos, que reuniu representantes de cerca de 40 embaixadas e comerciantes locais na sede da Comissão Econômica das Nações Unidas para a África (UNECA, na sigla em inglês). Os organizadores garantem que o dinheiro arrecadado vai para obras de caridade no país. Só no bazar de 2019, foram levantados com o evento cerca de 6 milhões de Birr (moeda etíope), o equivalente a quase R$ 600 mil, segundo a UNECA. Eles estão no ano de 2015 Na última semana de dezembro, a cidade deve ficar vazia. A maioria dos estrangeiros que vivem em Adis Abeba deve viajar para passar o Natal e o Réveillon fora da Etiópia, país onde o calendário tem 13 meses (são 12 com 30 dias e 1 com 5 dias) e a virada do ano é dia 11 de setembro (ou dia 12, no caso de anos bissextos). Atualmente o calendário etíope está no ano de 2015. É em setembro também que se celebra aqui o fim do tradicional período de chuvas, embora algumas regiões do país estejam enfrentando a pior seca em 40 anos, o início da primavera e das colheitas nas áreas rurais. Na véspera do Réveillon etíope, vitrines de lojas e fachadas de shoppings são decoradas com as cores amarela e marrom, uma referência à adey abeba, flor endêmica que só se colhe naquela época do ano. Pelas ruas também se vê a venda de acessórios dessas cores. Em setembro, há luxuosas festas pela cidade no Réveillon etíope. Também acontecem algumas festas dessas no dia 31 de dezembro. “O nosso ano novo nunca passamos aqui, porém há muitos hotéis que fazem festas”, disse Luana, se referindo ao dia 31 de dezembro. “Mas, no dia seguinte, todo mundo tem que estar no trabalho. É um dia normal, como outro qualquer”, destaca Rafaela.

Religion d'État depuis 380, le christianisme est encore majoritaire aujourd'hui en Éthiopie. Les chrétiens y ont leur propre liturgie, ainsi qu'une architecture religieuse et un style de vie monastique uniques dans la religion chrétienne. Dans ce reportage, Thierry Lyonnet se rend à Lalibela, haut lieu de la culture chrétienne du pays, pour assister à la fête de Timkat, la fête de l'Épiphanie. Classé au Patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco, le site de Lalibela est célèbre pour ses églises monolithes.

Au XXe siècle, le triple F incarne les "valeurs" du Portugal, comme les définit le régime salazariste : "Foot", "Fatima", haut lieu d'apparition mariale et symbole de l'importance et de l'ancrage du catholicisme portugais, et "Fado", genre musical portugais. Comment le Portugal s'est-il construit avant le triple F ? Quels sont les liens entre une certaine vision de l'histoire et la fabrication de la nation ? Était-ce parce qu'il se sentait à l'étroit, bloqué à la périphérie de l'Europe, que le Portugal s'est lancé à la conquête des mers ? Quelle est la place de l'histoire des Lusitaniens parmi celle des peuples européens ? Quelles sont les dates clefs de l'histoire du Portugal ? L'invité : Yves Léonard est spécialiste de l'histoire du Portugal. Membre du Centre d'histoire de Sciences Po et chercheur-associé à l'université de Rouen-Normandie, sa thèse portait sur Salazarisme, nationalisme et idée coloniale au Portugal. Il vient de publier une Histoire de la nation portugaise aux éditions Tallandier (2022, 400 pages, 24.90 €) dans la collection "Histoire d'une nation" dirigée par Éric Anceau.

El descubrimiento de una pared extraña que escondía una gran ciudad subterránea. Derinkuyu, una de las 37 ciudades bajo tierra de la Capadocia. Inconquistables, misteriosas y conectadas entre sí. Lugares que pudieron albergar hasta a 20.000 habitantes. Además, iglesias excavadas por ángeles, aquellas que están construidas bajo la roca en Lalibela, una representación de Tierra Santa, y otros lugares que nos conducen al interior. Nacho Navarro está acompañado de nuestro compañero Jaime Arenas y de dos grandes viajeros: Tito Vivas y Luis Tobajas.

Contamos historias alrededor de lo que construimos, alrededor de las ciudades, los pueblos, las casas y los edificios, alrededor de los aeropuertos, las presas y las autopistas. Hablamos de historias sobre cómo nos relacionamos con todo eso que construimos y destruimos, que en el fondo, como todas las historias, son historias sobre cómo nos relacionamos entre nosotros mismos.

Au nord de l'Éthiopie, voilà une semaine que les combats ont repris entre l'armée fédérale et les rebelles du Tigré, après cinq mois de trêve. Mehdi Labzaé est sociologue au Centre d'études et de documentation économiques, juridiques et sociales (Cedej) du Caire, en Égypte. Pour ce chercheur français, la guerre reprend notamment parce que le blocus humanitaire de la province du Tigré n'a jamais été levé pendant la trêve. RFI : Pourquoi cette reprise des hostilités dans le nord de l'Éthiopie ? Mehdi Labzaé : On peut considérer que c'est l'échec d'un processus de négociations qui a certainement été entamé pour gagner du temps. On sait depuis environ une semaine qu'il y a eu des rencontres directes entre le gouvernement du Tigré, le Front de libération du peuple du Tigré (TPLF), et le gouvernement fédéral de l'Éthiopie au cours des semaines passées. Cependant, les préconditions qui sont posées de part et d'autre ne sont donc pas acceptées et les combats ont repris depuis maintenant une semaine. Des rencontres secrètes ont eu lieu ces dernières semaines à Djibouti, aux Seychelles ? À Djibouti et aux Seychelles, et puis un processus de négociations sous l'égide de l'Union africaine avec un émissaire, l'ancien président nigérian Olusegun Obasanjo, mais qui est jugé par le TPLF comme trop proche des positions du gouvernement fédéral. Il faut reconnaître qu'Obansanjo considérait comme négociable la levée du blocus qui pèse depuis un an sur le Tigré. La levée de ce blocus étant considérée par le TPLF comme une précondition aux négociations, et non pas comme devant faire l'objet de négociations. Autre élément qui est refusé par le TPLF, c'est l'idée d'avoir, autour de la table des négociations, l'Érythrée qui est depuis des décennies maintenant l'ennemi politique du TPLF. Le conflit n'était pas du tout en pause dans la région de l'Oromia Depuis samedi 27 août, les rebelles tigréens se sont emparés de la localité de Kobo, à une quinzaine de kilomètres au sud de la frontière du Tigré. Est-ce le signe d'une nouvelle offensive du TPLF, un an après celle de 2021 ? Tôt, mardi matin, un des porte-paroles du TPLF, Getachew Reda, a diffusé un communiqué de presse dans lequel il expliquait qu'il y avait maintenant une contre-offensive du TPLF après les attaques du gouvernement fédéral. On a des rumeurs contradictoires sur l'avancée réelle aujourd'hui des troupes du Tigré. Ce qui est sûr, c'est que, mardi matin, on avait encore des communications avec la ville de Lalibela et que les gens savaient que les troupes du TPLF étaient dans les environs de Mudja à une cinquantaine de kilomètres, mais pas encore dans la ville de Lalibela à proprement parler. ►À écouter aussi : Invité Afrique - Guerre au Tigré : « On a une vraie politique de nettoyage ethnique » Donc, ce que vous craignez en fait, c'est une généralisation du conflit comme en 2021 ? Oui. Et on peut dire que cette généralisation est déjà là. Je voudrais rappeler que, bien que les armes se soient relativement tues au Tigré depuis environ cinq mois, avant cette reprise cette semaine, le conflit n'était pas du tout en pause dans la région de l'Oromia, qui est la plus peuplée d'Éthiopie. Là-bas, on continuait à avoir des massacres, des villages brûlés et des affrontements entre les forces fédérales, les forces de la région d'Oromia et le Front de libération Oromo dont on se souvient qu'il avait officialisé une alliance militaire avec le TPLF en août 2021. On a une famine qui a toujours lieu au Tigré Pendant les cinq derniers mois de trêve au Tigré, il y a quand même eu des signaux positifs, notamment la libération de responsables du TPLF par le gouvernement éthiopien. Est-ce qu'on ne peut pas espérer une reprise de ces négociations ? Je voudrais nuancer cette idée de points positifs à travers la libération de gens qui ont été présentés comme des cadres du TPLF, parce qu'on pense notamment à Sebhat Nega qui est certes un cadre historique, mais quand il a été arrêté, il n'avait plus de responsabilités dans le parti. Et d'autres personnes, qui avaient toujours des responsabilités dans le parti et qui ont été arrêtées, demeurent, elles, détenues par le gouvernement fédéral. Donc, ce pas en avant qui avait été fait par le gouvernement fédéral en janvier 2022 était plus symbolique qu'autre chose. Surtout parce que le gouvernement fédéral a maintenu ce blocus sur le Tigré, un blocus humanitaire qui a empêché l'aide d'arriver, et donc on a une famine qui a toujours lieu au Tigré et on a l'essentiel de la population de la région, très largement rurale, qui a un besoin d'aide alimentaire majeure pour ne pas mourir. ►À lire aussi : Le chef de l'OMS qualifie la situation au Tigré de «pire catastrophe dans le monde» Donc, pour vous, la paix passera par la levée du blocus et peut-être la nomination d'un nouveau médiateur ? Du côté du gouvernement du Tigré, ils ont été assez clairs là-dessus. Debretsion Gebremichael, le secrétaire général du TPLF, a bien dit dans un communiqué la semaine dernière qu'ils avaient le choix entre mourir de faim ou se battre pour leur dignité. Donc, à moins qu'ils soient anéantis militairement, il me semble que, oui, un nouvel émissaire qui serait jugé plus impartial par les Tigréens est nécessaire.

Washington pledges another $700 million in military aid to Ukraine, as US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin says Moscow should not be left with the capability to launch another invasion. Also: panic buying in Beijing, as the Chinese capital braces for another potential Covid lockdown; and the Ethiopian town of Lalibela — once a major tourist site — struggles to regain its footing in the midst of a pandemic and a war.

Another episode, another special guest graces us with their insight! Jeff Pearce (author, journalist, activist, ally for African progress) joins us to discuss his time in Ethiopia at the height of the war waged by the TPLF on Ethiopia (the war still continues...). Jeff was present on the ground in places such as Dessie, Lalibela, and Afar. He spent time with internally displaced peoples (IDPs) and visited sites destroyed by TPLF (hospitals, hotels, places of worship). We also discuss the loss of momentum with the #NoMore movement and the unfortunate splintering of support due to varying perspectives. An episode so jam-packed we had to separate it into two parts.

Last year, control over the holy city of Lalibela went back and forth between the warring parties until federal forces retook it in December. To date, the city still lacks electricity and running water as residents attempt to return to daily life.

Tigray forces have left Lalibela, a town famous for its rock-hewn churches.

Eyoel, explains his mindset shift from wanting to purchase a condo to live in in the city,  to closing on a duplex to rent out at a distance. Join me as he walks us through his first purchase, his logic and how his focus and mindset played a huge role in him being able to purchase his first rental property at the impressive age of 23!

On The Smoke podcast, we'll talk about cigars, liquor, weed, wine, heck we will talk about anything and give The Smoke to any deserving person. The podcast is hosted by Fabian, Kimberly, and Ike. On this episode, we had Aric (The Founder) & Cliff (The Hype Man) from Black Star Line Cigars on the show. Of course, they brought cigars and we paired them with a delicious bourbon from Larceny recommended by Aric. Needless to say, their cigar The Lalibela (which is their newest cigar) was very smooth, burned evenly the Bourbon paired expertly with the cigars. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

One of the starkest images from Afghanistan in the 1990s was the Taliban's destruction of the ancient Buddha statues. Now there are fears that the war in Ethiopia could wreak similar destruction on the ancient holy city of Lalibela, a World Heritage listed site.

The collection of churches at Lalibela in Ethiopia are built deep down into volcanic rock and are connected in a series of tunnels and crypts underground. It is no wonder that they are the unofficial Eighth Wonder of the Ancient World. In a hidden chapel, the legendary Ark of the Covenant is monitored by one guard who is never allowed to leave its side. They say it has been there for 3000 years, but no one else has seen it. Lalibela is a place of great faith with a range of mysteries. Follow along on Instagram and Facebook (@secret.passages.pod). Get in touch at https://www.secretpassagespodcast.com/.

Five years ago, Ishion Hutchinson went searching for paradise in the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, a small town in northern Ethiopia. The multilevel houses of worship, carved out of the rocky ground, are attributed to King Lalibela, who set out to create a New Jerusalem during his reign. The site is a marvel for even the most jaded fan of history and architecture, but Hutchinson, who was raised in a Rastafarian family in Jamaica, wasn't sure what he would encounter there. Ethiopia occupied a unique place in Hutchinson's childhood imagination: a central tenet of Rasta is the belief that Ethiopia is a paradise to which one hopes to arrive—both in this life and in the afterlife. In “Dreams of Stone,” published in the April issue of Harper's Magazine, Hutchinson recounts the transcendent experience of exploring a place that in his boyhood had seemed unreal to him. In this episode of the Harper's Podcast, Hutchinson joins web editor Violet Lucca to explore the sometimes intangible relationship between Jamaica and Ethiopia; his experience in Lalibela and Ethiopia at large; and how poetry and writing can be a form of religious expression. Read Hutchinson's article here: https://harpers.org/archive/2020/04/dreams-of-stone-lalibela-ethiopia-rastafarian/ This episode was produced by Violet Lucca and Andrew Blevins.

Refugees stuck in Greece keep trying to cross into Macedonia even though the border is now closed. One man has got through the fence, and then been taken back, fourteen times. In the meantime, new Syrian refugees keep arriving at the other end of Greece, on the island of Lesbos. We hear about hopes that a Basque pro-independence leader newly released from prison can bring about real peace in his region, and not just a permanent ceasefire. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and in drought-stricken eastern Kenya, cattle herders feel they have no option but to let their animals graze in game reserves. Who says Americans haven't been able to go to Cuba legally? In Florida's Key West, we hear how despite the embargo, some US citizens have been doing it for decades, without breaking the law. And if you fall for a money-making scam of a boy begging near the rock-carved churches of Lalibela in northern Ethiopia, don't feel too bad.....
