Dave Schwartz had all the signs of worldly success. He was a high-level officer with a Fortune 500 company in the insurance and financial services industry for 25 years before starting a breakaway firm with a friend which grew to a hundred employees in three different states. Life was good. But after some deep, personal valleys—including two open-heart surgeries—God got Dave's attention in a powerful way and helped him to see that a check-the-box religion wasn't cutting it and something needed to change. Inspired by his now-wife's deep contentment and relationship with God, Dave also began to pursue a deeper relationship himself.   Selling interest in the company he helped start, Dave transitioned to the nonprofit sector where he vetted partners and handled donor funds. He then was invited to lead the missions programs at their church. Little did Dave know that this was laying the foundations for a God-sized vision on the other side of the world.   Dave and his wife became close with a Liberian family from their church, and in 2021, they had an opportunity to travel to Liberia, the eighth poorest country in the world. Experiencing the extreme poverty at an orphanage there planted a strong desire to do something to uplift the children of Liberia without just giving out hand-me-downs.   Now, after a few years of divine connections and miraculous generosity, ground will soon be broken for the Agape Empowerment Center, a 15-acre campus designed to raise Christ-centered Liberian leaders through housing, education, and holistic care. If you've ever wondered what it's like to build a vision from scratch, this episode is for you.   Major Topics Include: Becoming envious of contentment How the God-sized vision came together Governance, structure, and transparency  Giving a hand up without creating a cycle of dependency Building a culture one grade at a time Involving locals in the mission A hopeful view of the next 5 to 10 years How this experience has deepened Dave's faith The vision for agricultural and manufacturing enterprise zones Building community through collaboration Examining the ROI of philanthropic dollars QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Laying in the hospital in 2012, recovering from my second open-heart surgery, I realized it was time to make a change.” “What is a true relationship with our Savior versus a religious ‘check-the-box'?” “As I started to change from religion to a relationship with Jesus, contentment started to creep into my life and I had never really experienced that before.” “Liberia is the eighth poorest country in the world. Per person income on an annual basis is $530 USD.” “I made the very Western throw-away comment of ‘Gosh, Honey, someone's gotta do something about this.' Without missing a beat, my wife says, ‘What about us?' And that's how the Agape Empowerment Center got started.” “If we want them to become the best and to be Christ-centered children, well-educated, then let's start treating them like the best and stop just giving them our hand-me-downs.” “In five or ten years, I see children with joy and hope in their lives.” “I have learned that I absolutely have no control. I think I do, but I don't. And at the end of the day, this is God's plan or it's not. I just hope to be able to help implement it.” “I'm not going to retire, I'm going to re-fire.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Agape Empowerment Center When Helping Hurts (see our interview with coauthor Brian Fikkert) Convoy of Hope The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

We often think of tax as an exchange with the state – money in return for services and security. But what happens if this "social contract" is absent? In the world's most fragile states, authorities often lack the ability to collect taxes and the capacity to provide basic services.In this episode we look at taxation as a way to understand the relationship between the state and the population. We speak with researchers Viljar Haavik from NUPI (Norwegian Institute of International Affairs) and Gayatri Sahgal from the Chr. Michelsen Institute. Both have conducted extensive research on taxation in fragile states and share their insights on how the social contract looks different in countries like Somalia and Liberia.

Den 4 december 2025 fattade regeringen beslut att avveckla de bilaterala landstrategierna i fem partnerländer: Tanzania, Moçambique, Liberia, Zimbabwe och Bolivia. Detta är ett av de mest omfattande förändringarna av svenskt bistånd på årtionden. Vad innebär besluten i praktiken? Hur mycket av biståndet frigörs, och hur stor del av engagemanget kan finnas kvar under tematiska strategier? I detta avsnitt analyserar Númi Östlund besluten tillsammans med Jan Pettersson, kanslichef på EBA. Vi diskuterar om detta är den största förändringen sedan Enprocentsmålet, och hur beslutet förhåller sig till regeringens reformagenda. Slutligen sätter vi fokus på de utmaningar som väntar: Är den snabba utfasningstiden till 2026 realistisk? Och vad vet vi från tidigare utvärderingar om effekterna av att bryta mångåriga samarbeten?

This session will examine key considerations for leaders, senders, and international travelers/workers in the areas of duty of care, risk assessment, contingency planning, security, and common pitfalls ("lessons learned") in international mission work.

In Global Norms and Local Action: The Campaigns to End Violence against Women in Africa (Oxford UP, 2020), Peace A. Medie studies the domestic implementation of international norms by examining how and why two post-conflict states in Africa, Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire, have differed in their responses to rape and domestic violence. Specifically, she looks at the roles of the United Nations and women's movements in the establishment of specialized criminal justice sector agencies, and the referral of cases for prosecution. She argues that variation in implementation in Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire can be explained by the levels of international and domestic pressures that states face and by the favorability of domestic political and institutional conditions. Medie's study is based on interviews with over 300 policymakers, bureaucrats, staff at the UN and NGOs, police officers, and survivors of domestic violence and rape — an unprecedented depth of research into women's rights and gender violence norm implementation in post-conflict countries. Furthermore, through her interviews with survivors of violence, Medie explains not only how states implement anti-rape and anti-domestic violence norms, but also how women experience and are affected by these norms. She draws on this research to recommend that states adopt a holistic approach to addressing violence against women. Peace A. Medie is an award-winning scholar and a writer. She is associate professor in politics at the University of Bristol. She studies state and non-state actors' responses to gender-based violence and other forms of insecurity in countries in Africa. She is author of ‘Global Norms and Local Action: The Campaigns to End Violence Against Women in Africa' (OUP 2020). Her debut novel, His Only Wife, was a New York Times Notable Book of 2020 and a Time Magazine Must-Read Book of 2020. Her second novel, Nightbloom, will be published in June 2023. Lamis Abdelaaty is an associate professor of political science at the Maxwell School of Syracuse University.

Welcome to GRCAM Monthly Virtual Interactive Conference, I'm your host Emmanuel Barbee. I am the Founder, President and CEO of (GRCAM) the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement. It does not matter how bad I would like to get my Christian business up and running in Chicago with out financial support from the Black Grassroots and the Global African Family then I am unable to do my God given assignment. For 34 years I have sacrifice my life trying to recruit like minded Black Americans in Chicago and online to work with me in turning my vision and plan to help improve Black Chicago and yet still to this day I am on first base this is unacceptable ladies and gentlemen.Global African Family if you are serious about me expanding my Christian business to the African continent then first please purchase my e-book and read my story. If you agree with my vision and plan to help improve Black Chicago then you will automatically become a GRCAM Member. Please help me get my revised book on the best seller's list so that the Black world would take our cause seriously. Secondly, encourage African Immigrants who live in the United States of America from 10 African nations: South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, Angola, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Nigeria to work with me. This will help speed up the process. The reason African Immigrants are able to reach their American dream is because of my ancestors who fought and died during the Civil Rights Era to help get African Immigrants, Afro-Caribbeans and other non-White Immigrant groups to come to this country. They have access to Education, Immigrant loans, Housing and Employment. The Vision of GRCAM is to build a bridge between the African American community and the African Immigrant community. Our main objective for Black Americans who become GRCAM Members is for them to heal from this Slave mentality imposed on our people by the White Supremacist Financial Elites. And for African Immigrants who become GRCAM Members to heal from this Colonized Mindset imposed on them by the White Supremacist Financial Elites. GRCAM Members will build the best African American business within the United States of America. The Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago. In GRCAI of Chicago, both groups will learn how to respect each other's culture, learn how to trust one another, learn how to do business with each other so that we can replicate this business model on the African continent. We want the Diaspora to invest in the people, the culture, help assist in building the infrastructure, and bring business development to Africa and viceversa for Native Africans to do international trade with our people within the low income African American community in order for their to be a win win situation for both groups.We host these Zoom Live Event on the last Saturday of the month in order to interact with our listeners and to raise funds for our film project (Hood Liberator Made In Chicago The War Against Willie Lynch Begins). We're using three crowd funding sites: GoFundMe, Buy Me A Coffee and PayPal Giving Fund. Our objective is to raise $250 thousand dollars then we will encourage GRCAM Members who are part of our Film Project Team to come to Chicago so that we can begin hosting auditions for a role in the film etc .. Once we get this film project fully funded and made I want to make sure that Sister Rena will be well taken care of then I plan on turning the business over to my management team and lead by example by applying for dual citizenship in South Africa. My focus is on legacy building. #NotAnother34Years #M1

Phillipians 4:6-7In America, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November. Other countries like Canada, Japan, Liberia and others celebrate it on different days and different months of the year. But true to the American holiday of Thanksgiving is this - Thanksgiving is more than just a day where we gather with family and friends to watch a parade, eat turkey and dressing, and watch football. Thanksgiving is really a condition of the heart, the heart guarded and kept by the peace of God that should characterize the believer in Christ, not just one day a year, but every day.

Our main objective for Black Americans who become GRCAM Members is for them to heal from this Slave mentality imposed on our people by the White Supremacist Financial Elites. And for African Immigrants who become GRCAM Members to heal from this Colonized Mindset imposed on them by the White Supremacist Financial Elites. GRCAM Members will build the best African American business within the United States of America. The Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago. In GRCAI of Chicago, both groups will learn how to respect each other's culture, learn how to trust one another, learn how to do business with each other so that we can replicate this business model on the African continent. We want the Diaspora to invest in the people, the culture, help assist in building the infrastructure, and bring business development to Africa and viceversa for Native Africans to do international trade with our people within the low income African American community in order for their to be a win win situation for both groups.We host these Zoom Live Event on the last Saturday of the month in order to interact with our listeners and to raise funds for our film project (Hood Liberator Made In Chicago The War Against Willie Lynch Begins). We're using three crowd funding sites: GoFundMe, Buy Me A Coffee and PayPal Giving Fund. Our objective is to raise $250 thousand dollars then we will encourage GRCAM Members who are part of our Film Project Team to come to Chicago so that we can begin hosting auditions for a role in the film etc .. Once we get this film project fully funded and made I want to make sure that Sister Rena will be well taken care of then I plan on turning the business over to my management team and lead by example by applying for dual citizenship in South Africa. My focus is on legacy building. #NotAnother34Years #M1

This episode pulls together the long wars and the quiet missions that followed. It starts in Anbar and along the Syrian border, with Lioness teams at checkpoints, battalions fighting through al Qaim and Ramadi, and tribes turning against Al Qaeda. From there it tracks how Iraq shifted from brutal street fighting to fragile calm, only to see ISIS rise out of the same ground a few years later. The story widens to Afghanistan's hidden record in the Afghanistan Papers, then follows Marines into humanitarian work in Liberia, Haiti, the Indian Ocean, the Philippines, and Nepal, where ships become lifelines instead of launchpads. Libya, Benghazi, and the ISIS war show how quickly combat can return. The chapter closes on the future of the Corps, from Force Design debates to the simple ideas that have outlasted every reorganization.

We explore the struggles of orphans, widows, and the less fortunate in Kenya, Uganda, Colombia, and Liberia. Our gratitude goes out to supporters for their generosity and compassion, as we strive to make a difference and restore hope.   She says, "Restoring Hope, Restoring Lives. Dear friends and supporters, as I write this, my heart is filled with a mix of emotions: sadness, gratitude, and hope. Sadness, because I am reminded of the struggles countless orphans, widows, and less fortunate in Kenya, Uganda, Colombia, Liberia." and other nations that are facing just to survive.

The Cold War ended, but crises kept coming. This episode opens in the Balkans, where Yugoslavia's breakup pulls Marines into a different mission. Offshore in the Adriatic, they fly strikes, launch rescues, and put infantry ashore as refugee camps, no-fly zones, and patrols blur the line between war and relief. From there, the story follows deployments to Haiti, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Albania, and East Timor, where Marines secure embassies, evacuate civilians, and support coalitions trying to hold together collapsing states. Then 9/11 hits, and the long war begins. Task Force 58 pushes hundreds of miles inland to seize Rhino and Kandahar, proving sea-based Marines can operate inside a landlocked country. The chapter ends in Helmand, in places like Garmsir, Now Zad, and the Ganjgal Valley, where patrol bases, IEDs, and hard lessons define a war with no clean finish.

Vietnam ended, but its shadow did not. This episode opens with Project 100,000 and the Pentagon Papers, where promises of opportunity and careful strategy give way to lowered standards, hidden escalation, and young men sent to fight under false stories. From there, we follow the Marines into uneasy interventions. Beirut begins as a mission of presence and ends in the rubble of the 1983 barracks bombing. Grenada and Panama mix rescue, raids, and regime change on small pieces of ground where the politics are anything but simple. The story moves into the 1990s, when Marines become first in for a new kind of mission. Desert Shield and Desert Storm show how fast they can break a fortified army, while Somalia, Liberia, Haiti, and northern Iraq put them to work feeding the hungry and guarding refugees. Again and again, Washington speaks in the language of good intentions, and Marines live with the cost.

A Federal Judge called DOJ witnesses "word salad testimony" and "zeros" as she decides whether to release Kilmar Abrego Garcia from custody and send him to Costa Rica (or give him amnesty) instead of sending him 3000 miles away to Liberia. Michael Popok dissects the evidentiary hearing before Judge Xinis and why she may release Garcia as a remedy to punish the Trump Administration for abuse of power and prosecutorial misconduct.

Journée historique en Guinée. Ce mardi 11 novembre marquera le lancement de la mine de Simandou, cette immense réserve de deux milliards de tonnes de fer à haute teneur. Une mine dont les Guinéens attendaient l'exploitation depuis trente ans. Bientôt, les deux principaux opérateurs, Winning Consortium Simandou (WCS), un consortium d'entreprises chinoises, et Simfer, une filiale de l'anglo-australienne Rio Tinto associée à la chinoise Chinalco, exporteront 120 millions de tonnes de fer par an, générant des milliards de dollars de revenus pour l'État guinéen. Ce projet lèguera aussi un chemin de fer de plus de 600 km entre le port de Morebaya et la mine dans l'est du pays. Et prévoit la construction, dans un deuxième temps, d'un port en eau profonde et d'une usine de transformation du minerai. Le ministre des Mines Bouna Sylla répond aux questions de RFI. RFI : Ce mardi 11 novembre marque le lancement du projet Simandou. Cela fait presque trente ans que l'on parle de ce projet, qui se concrétise enfin. C'est un jour historique pour la Guinée. Est-ce une satisfaction pour vous ? Bouna Sylla: C'est plus qu'une satisfaction. C'est plutôt le passage du rêve à la réalité pour des millions de Guinéens. Depuis nos pères fondateurs, tous les dirigeants qui se sont succédé ont eu pour objectif de réaliser ce projet. Finalement, c'est grâce au leadership du président de la République, Mamadi Doumbouya, que ce projet voit le jour de manière concrète, avec les infrastructures que vous voyez devant vous. Ce gigantesque projet est le plus gros projet mine-infrastructures dans le monde, avec 20 milliards de dollars d'investissements. Comme vous le dites, ce sera un des plus grands projets miniers du monde. Les entreprises doivent produire et exporter à terme 120 millions de tonnes de fer par an. Cela va générer des revenus considérables pour l'État guinéen à travers des taxes et des impôts. À combien chiffrez-vous ces revenus ? Quand on atteindra les 120 millions de tonnes, ce sera environ deux milliards de dollars de revenus qui seront générés par le projet, sans compter les revenus indirects. Le projet ne sera pas uniquement pour l'exportation du minerai brut, comme on l'a connu par le passé, mais ce minerai sera également transformé sur place pour plus de valeur ajoutée. Les premières années, les entreprises bénéficieront d'exonérations d'impôts relativement importantes. Les dix premières années, Winning Consortium Simandou (WCS) ne payera pas d'impôts sur les sociétés et Simfer bénéficiera d'une exonération de 50 % les huit premières années. Pourquoi ces exonérations aux entreprises ? Dans l'industrie minière, les revenus les plus sûrs sont les royalties, c'est-à-dire les taxes minières. Il n'y a pas d'exonération sur les taxes minières. Dans le cas de Simfer, les impôts sur les sociétés sont remplacés par le pilier deux de l'OCDE pour que, dès les premières années de profits, il y a 15 % de profits qui sont partagés avec l'État. À la fin de la période de l'impôt minimum forfaitaire de l'OCDE, on passera au droit commun qui est de 30 %. Dans combien de temps atteindra-t-on la production de 120 millions de tonnes de fer ? Dans les accords, c'est trois ans. Mais avec l'avance qui a été prise par les partenaires industriels dans la réalisation du projet, nous atteindrons ces 120 millions de tonnes au bout de deux ans. Simandou en phase d'exploitation représente environ combien d'emplois directs et indirects ? En phase de construction, c'est plus de 50 000 emplois. En phase d'exploitation, c'est entre 10 000 et 15 000 emplois directs, sans compter tous les emplois indirects. Quand vous mettez tout ça ensemble, cela sera au moins plus de 20 000 emplois. On est en train de passer de la phase de construction de la mine à la phase d'exploitation. Ces prochains mois, on va vers une perte de 30 000 emplois à peu près. Justement, dans le cadre du comité stratégique du projet Simandou, on a une task force qui s'appelle la « Task force de mobilisation » afin d'éviter que les 50 000 personnes qui travaillent sur ce projet ne se retrouvent pas au chômage. C'est pour cela que nous travaillons pour créer de nouveaux projets dans le cadre du programme Simandou 2040. Dans le secteur minier, on a un projet de raffinerie qu'on a lancé au mois de mars dernier, qui va absorber une partie de ces employés. D'ici à la fin de l'année, on va lancer un nouveau projet de raffinerie de transformation de bauxite en alumine. Tous ces projets que nous allons lancer permettront d'absorber, dans le cadre de la remobilisation des démobilisés du projet, ces 50 000 personnes et leur trouver des perspectives. Ce qui va permettre de réduire la pauvreté dans le pays. Les conventions ont été renégociées en 2022 et 2023 sous le Comité national du rassemblement pour le développement (CNRD). Qu'est-ce qui a changé à la suite de ces renégociations ? Au niveau fiscal, on a amélioré substantiellement les revenus attendus par l'État dans le projet de plus de 20 % par rapport aux conventions initiales. Mais aussi, chose extrêmement importante, les infrastructures telles que renégociées vont faire du transport marchandises, passagers et minerais. Il y aura un train de passagers par jour dans chaque direction et trois trains marchandises par semaine, ce qui permettra d'augmenter encore plus l'impact économique du projet pour l'ensemble du pays. Les conventions ont été renégociées en 2022 et 2023. Une partie des résultats de ces négociations ont été publiés, mais pas tout. Notamment, la convention de codéveloppement, qui crée la Compagnie du Transguinéen (CTG) et qui encadre la gestion des infrastructures du projet, n'a pas été publiée. Certains observateurs estiment que c'est un manque de transparence. Quand est-ce que cette convention sera publiée ? Il faut se rendre compte que c'est un projet complexe. Il entre en production aujourd'hui, mais il y avait quelques documents qui étaient en cours d'ajustement. Après la construction des infrastructures, il faut six mois de mise en service pour s'assurer que l'ensemble de l'infrastructure est robuste. C'est après tout cela que l'on peut entrer dans les questions de publication des documents. On ne va pas publier quelque chose alors qu'on a six mois de mise en service. À la fin de la mise en service, c'est validé par les certificateurs indépendants internationaux qui sont recrutés, qui disent : « Tout est ok. Voici le coût des investissements. Le chemin de fer fonctionne bien, la signalisation fonctionne bien. Les boucles ferroviaires, etc. » C'est à la fin de tout cela que l'on pourra publier. Mais une fois que la mise en service du projet est finalisée, c'est-à-dire pas avant six mois, vers juin 2026. Puisque cette convention, pour l'heure, n'est pas publiée, on a peu de précisions encore sur la CTG qui sera l'opérateur des infrastructures. Quel est le statut de cette entreprise ? Les entreprises minières vont-elles, par exemple, devoir payer une redevance pour utiliser les infrastructures ? Qu'est-ce que va rapporter à l'État guinéen ? C'est une société anonyme, privée, de droit guinéen, qui est propriétaire des infrastructures et qui est opérateur de ces infrastructures pour les 35 prochaines années. Le modèle économique du projet, c'est que les principaux clients de la CTG, ce sont les mines. Les mines vont faire transporter leurs minerais sur le chemin de fer et l'exporter via le port. Ce n'est pas gratuit, ils vont payer des redevances d'utilisation de l'infrastructure. Ce sont ces redevances qui permettent à la CTG de fonctionner, mais également de rembourser les dettes contractées pour le financement de la réalisation de l'infrastructure. Certains responsables guinéens ont affirmé à plusieurs reprises que les entreprises minières construisaient un port en eau profonde pour accueillir les minéraliers, qui sont les bateaux servant à exporter le fer. Pourtant, sur les sites Internet de Simfer et de Winning Consortium Simandou, il est indiqué qu'ils construisent des ports de barges qui, elles, iront en haute mer pour déposer le fer sur des minéraliers. Finalement, quel type de ports aura-t-on pour ce projet ? À la fin de l'atteinte des 120 millions de tonnes, au bout de deux ou trois ans, on va engager les études de faisabilité pour l'extension de la capacité du port, pour passer à un port en eau profonde. Il faut d'abord faire les études de faisabilité qui nous diront combien de temps prendra la construction de l'infrastructure. Les conventions prévoient que les entreprises fassent une étude de faisabilité dans les deux ans, soit pour une aciérie d'une capacité de 500 000 tonnes par an, soit d'une usine de pellets - un produit intermédiaire entre le fer et l'acier - d'une capacité de deux millions de tonnes par an. En Guinée, l'un des problèmes majeurs pour l'industrialisation, c'est le manque d'énergie. Avec quelles solutions énergétiques peut-on construire de telles usines en Guinée ? Déjà, il y a une capacité aujourd'hui hydroélectrique qui permet de fournir de l'énergie à ce projet d'aciérie ou d'usines de pellets de 2 millions de tonnes. Il y a un barrage en construction de 300 mégawatts, qui est à plus de 45 % terminé. Il y a d'autres projets thermiques qui sont également en construction. Il y a une planification énergétique aujourd'hui du pays pour aligner les besoins énergétiques et industriels du pays avec le développement de nouveaux projets. Ce projet Simandou, avec les flux de revenus que cela va générer pour l'État, permettra également d'avoir plus de capacités de financement pour de nouvelles capacités énergétiques. En Guinée, il y a un autre grand gisement de fer, c'est la mine de fer du mont Nimba, qui n'est pas très loin de Simandou d'ailleurs. Ce projet reste bloqué parce que jusque là, les entreprises privilégiaient de faire sortir le minerai par le Liberia qui est plus proche, alors que l'État guinéen privilégiait une sortie par un port guinéen. Aujourd'hui, l'option que vous privilégiez, c'est de faire un raccordement entre le chemin de fer de Simandou et le mont Nimba ? La volonté du gouvernement, c'est de faire une boucle ferroviaire sur l'ensemble du pays. Le gisement du mont Nimba est à 130 kilomètres du chemin de fer de Simandou, ce n'est pas très loin. La question de capacité ne se pose pas, car il y a une capacité disponible sur l'infrastructure ferroviaire. Cela augmente aussi la viabilité du projet de Nimba, du fait de la disponibilité de l'infrastructure du Simandou. Il y a d'autres projets miniers de moindre envergure qui sont aussi en souffrance depuis un moment. Notamment la bauxite à Dabola-Tougué et le fer à Kalia, dans la région de Faranah. Envisagez-vous aussi de faire des raccordement de chemin de fer pour relancer ces projets miniers ? Tout le mérite de ce projet Simandou tel qu'il est pensé, conçu et réalisé, c'est d'être une infrastructure multi utilisateurs. Cela veut dire qu'il y a un droit d'accès des tiers qui sont le long du corridor. Vous avez parlé du projet de bauxite de Dabola-Tougué, du projet de minerai de fer de Kalia, et on vient de parler du mont Nimba. Tous ces projets négocieront des accords d'accès ferroviaire pour pouvoir transporter leurs minerais vers les ports qui se trouvent sur la côte. L'avantage du co-développement, c'est que ça permet d'avoir une infrastructure qui est économiquement viable parce que ça réduit les dépenses d'investissement de capital (Capex) pour tous les investisseurs. Cela permet aussi aux mines de pouvoir transporter leurs minerais à des prix compétitifs et devenir beaucoup plus viables. Le minerai de Kalia, s'il n'y avait pas la disponibilité de cette infrastructure, est difficile à sortir, car il est piégé dans l'arrière-pays. Mais du fait de la disponibilité de cette infrastructure et du droit d'accès qu'elle offre, avec des principes tarifaires extrêmement transparents pour tous les utilisateurs, c'est une chance pour tous les projets qui se trouvent le long du corridor d'être sur le marché. Une chance aussi pour la Guinée d'avoir à réaliser ces infrastructures conformément à cette vision. Sinon, on allait se retrouver avec une infrastructure dédiée uniquement au minerai de fer de Simandou, ce qui n'avait aucun sens. Malheureusement, sur les chantiers, il y a eu un certain nombre d'accidents et de morts. Winning Consortium a déclaré en octobre qu'il y avait eu deux morts chez eux. Nos confrères de Reuters ont publié en mars une enquête dévoilant qu'il y avait eu une dizaine de morts chez Winning Consortium. Au mois d'août, il y a eu un mort chez Rio Tinto. Quel est votre bilan du nombre de morts sur les chantiers ? Je ne commente pas les chiffres, mais ce que je peux vous dire que pour tous ces accidents, on a recruté des firmes indépendantes pour des enquêtes. Les résultats de ces enquêtes vont être révélés. Mais votre bilan, combien y a-t-il eu de morts sur la phase de construction en tout ? Comme je vous ai dit, il y a des enquêtes qui sont en cours. Quelqu'un peut aller au travail et il rentre le soir, il a la malaria, il meurt. On va déterminer si c'est à cause de son travail ou non. C'est pour cela que l'on met en place des enquêtes indépendantes. Il y a des firmes internationales qui ont été recrutées, qui font ces enquêtes dont les résultats seront communiquées ultérieurement. Les questions d'accident et de santé-sécurité pour les travailleurs du secteur minier sont un sujet extrêmement important pour nous. Nous travaillons avec tous les partenaires internationaux afin de prendre des mesures afin que ce type d'accident ne puisse se reproduire. Dans les conventions, il est prévu que 5 % des revenus induits par le projet Simandou aillent dans l'éducation. Pourriez-vous préciser ce projet ? 5 % des revenus de chacune des mines, en termes d'impôts et taxes, que l'État guinéen va percevoir, vont être affectés au financement du système éducatif à l'intérieur du pays. Construire des écoles, des bibliothèques, des enseignants pour augmenter le niveau de l'éducation, le niveau d'alphabétisation. Ensuite 20 % des impôts et taxes que l'État va percevoir provenant de la CTG pour amener aux meilleurs lycéens guinéens, des 33 préfectures du pays pendant les 35 prochaines années, des bourses d'études en France, aux États-Unis, en Chine, au Japon, dans le monde entier pour former les générations futures. L'argent pour les générations futures, c'est l'investissement sur le capital humain. Avec les 5 % de revenus induits par Simandou et les 20 % de la CTG, combien tablez-vous pour le budget de ce programme ? Pas moins de 200 à 300 millions de dollars par an. Il faut préciser que toutes ces bourses seront pour les filières scientifiques et techniques, parce que il faut former plus de gens pour la production que pour la gestion. Ce qui ferait à peu près combien de bourses d'études par an ? Je ne peux pas vous dire aujourd'hui avec certitude combien de personnes on pourrait envoyer, mais c'est des milliers de jeunes qui vont en profiter.

I 1931 drog den kendte danske forfatter og kvinderettighedsaktivist Olga Eggers til Liberia. Et sted ingen danskere havde nogen relation til. Det var helt uhørt, at en kvinde skulle rejse afsted alene. Olga havde, siden hun var en lille pige, drømt om at rejse gennem det, hun forestillede sig, var det såkaldt rigtige Afrika for at møde den oprindelige befolkning. Men lykkedes det? Hvad blev den største udfordring på den 4 måneder lange rejse? Og hvad var det, der gjorde, at Olga Eggers - efter sin hjemkomst - blev en af de mest forhadte kvinder i Danmark?Medvirkende: Sofie Lene Bak, historiker, ph.d., lektor på Københavns Universitet med speciale i bl.a. Social- og kulturhistorie i Anden Verdenskrigs epoke. Sofie har skrevet biografien om Olga, ”Trods og Tragedie”.

When asked about the major sources of revenue for the Liberian government, Samora explains that over 80% of the government budget comes from domestic revenue, with the rest from donors like the IMF, World Bank, and European Union. He details the importance of conducting audits and meeting benchmarks to access external resources, and shares a few examples of how this works. Samora discusses his role in developing revenue policies and regulations, focusing on domestic resource mobilization to grow the budget to $1 billion.

He goes on to talk about investment potential and licensing, shipping, and exporting.

Samora explains the distinction between attorneys and counselors at law in Liberia, and recommends dealing with firms to ensure coverage through professional liability and insurance coverage. He goes into detail on the importance of following processes and doing due diligence and background checks when hiring consultants.  Taxation and Labor Law Considerations for Foreign Companies Focusing on the tax implications for foreign companies hiring consultants in Liberia, Samora explains the withholding tax rates for resident and non-resident taxpayers, including the 10% and 15% rates for ordinary companies and the 6% rate for mining operations. He clarifies the concept of resident and non-resident status based on the number of days spent in Liberia. Samora discusses the importance of understanding labor law considerations, including contracts, occupational health and safety, and long-term employment. He also explains the tax brackets and Social Security tax obligations for foreign companies, employees and independent contractors, in addition to labour laws and health and safety laws in Liberia. Insurance Requirements for Firms in Liberia. Samora advises firms to have professional liability insurance to cover potential transgressions.

In breaking news, a federal judge in the Abrego Garcia criminal case has gagged AG Pam Bondi, Border Czar Tom Homan, Homeland Security Sec Kristie Noem, and the rest of the Trump Administration from making public statements about Garcia's case undermining his 6th Amendment right to a fair trial, AND has ordered that the Government produce all documents about prosecutors who quit rather than indict Garcia. Michael Popok also reports on Judge Xinis efforts to prevent Garcia from being removed to Liberia in the meantime by a vindictive government.

A federal judge gags AG Bondi and others from speaking in public to undermine Abrego Garcia's right to a fair trial. A federal judge takes steps to ensure that Abrego Garcia isn't retaliated against and sent to Liberia in the next few hours. Lindsey Halligan is up to her eyeballs in hot water, with a new suit brewing about her destruction of public records in a new “Signal-gate” scandal, and a Clinton appointed judge about to decide whether she was illegally appointed as a US Attorney. 23 Blue State Attorneys' General sue to stop babies and children from dying at the hands of the depraved Trump funding cuts in an effort to blame the Democrats for the Shutdown, as a secret memo disclosing that a slush fund exists is revealed. Trump's latest lawyers who are trying to overturn his criminal conviction are accused of ethical violations. And Michael Popok sits at the Intersection to reveal these and other developments at the intersection of law and politics.

Trump has a habit of creating his own destroyers, and now Special Counsel Jack Smith has broken his vow of silence and is demanding to be heard by the public when he testifies about Trump's criminality before Congress. Trump's other self-created destroyer, New York Attorney General Letitia James, is more powerful than ever—filing multiple motions to destroy Trump, his DOJ, and Lindsey Halligan—as her criminal case falls apart right before our eyes. Trump and Melania are caught flat-footed by journalist Michael Wolff, who sues first to preempt a bogus defamation suit shakedown by Melania. A federal judge is about to step in before Trump can send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia in response to Garcia demanding that Trump and his DOJ take the stand. The Supreme Court is about to issue a new, earthshaking decision about Trump's use of the National Guard. And Ben and Popok are back on the top-rated Legal AF Podcast to make it make sense.

God's Existence: Truth or Fiction? the Answer Revealed by Gary R. Lindberg Garyrlindberg.com https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Existence-Fiction-Answer-Revealed/dp/1648042732 God's Existence: Truth or Fiction? The Answer Revealed By: Gary R. Lindberg Studying the existence of God, Lindberg takes a different approach by investigating science as well as Christian research. Lindberg's unique approach suggests that both science and the Bible were created by God and as a result the two say the same thing. Lindberg's message will show that science itself proves the existence of God because of the evidence presented. About the Author Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the author's parents moved just before his seventh birthday to Santa Maria, California. There he grew up and attended grade schools up through high school. The author is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in U. S. History. Then he volunteered to join the Peace Corps for two and a half years during which he taught primary school students and teachers various techniques in a trial school gardens program in the Ivory Coast which is located in West Africa between Liberia and Ghana. He became fluent in French during that time. After his Peace Corps service, he toured Europe and primarily visited Italy, Germany (including East Berlin then under Communist control), France, England, and the Netherlands. Since he was drafted, he volunteered for the Navy in which he served for four years. Next, he went to San Francisco State University where he earned his Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree with a concentration in Management and Personnel. After that he began his 43-year career as a Human Resources professional for a number of major companies including National Gypsum, Celotex, McCormick (spices), Del Monte, Quebecor Printing, and Micro Lithography, Inc. He retired in November, 2019 to pursue personal endeavors.

How do you move forward after a life marked by trauma and pain? Can looking back be the very thing that helps you discover your purpose in God's plan?As a young orphan in war-torn Liberia, Jackson TerKeurst could never have imagined the path his life would take. After years in an orphanage surrounded by the devastation of conflict, Jackson was invited to join a group of children on a tour across the United States—sharing stories of resilience and hope born from unimaginable suffering.But in the midst of that journey, Jackson received heartbreaking news: he would not be returning home. His country and the orphanage he once knew had been overtaken by violence and chaos. Stranded and grieving, Jackson faced an uncertain future.Yet God was writing a greater story.Through a series of divine appointments, Jackson met the TerKeurst family, who would eventually adopt him and his brother. Today, Jackson is an entrepreneur, a husband, and a father. He reflects on his journey and how God's hand was evident through it all in his new book,The Only Way Forward Is Back: A Story of War, Adoption, and Finding Your Purpose in God's Plan.In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, Davey sits down with Jackson to explore the deep wounds of growing up in a war zone, how revisiting the past has been key to Jackson's healing, and why serving others plays such a central role in his story.If you've ever been hesitant to look back at your own pain, this episode will remind you: sometimes it's in looking back that we find the very path God has prepared to move us forward.

Canada and the island of Saint Lucia celebrate a Thanksgiving holiday in October. Liberia sets aside a day for giving thanks at the beginning of November, while the US and Australia mark the annual holiday at the end of the month. Other countries, including the United Kingdom, Brazil, Rwanda, and the Philippines, have unofficial days to foster gratitude. There’s something powerful about a nation collectively expressing gratitude. It’s a picture we see when King David assembled the nation of Israel to give thanks to God for His presence, protection, and promises. The celebration marked the return of the “ark of God” (1 Chronicles 16:1). The people rejoiced that the ark, a symbol of God’s presence with them, was in Jerusalem. As David led Israel in praise, he reminded them of God’s protection as the nation conquered the land of Canaan (vv.18-22) and celebrated God’s faithfulness to fulfill His promises (v. 15). If you celebrate a Thanksgiving holiday with friends and family, consider making it a gratitude gathering and reflecting together on the ways you’ve experienced God’s presence, protection, and promises over the past year. Whether or not you live in a country that officially celebrates Thanksgiving, each of us can take time to express gratitude to the “Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever” (v. 34).

Two recent mass-shooting suspects are decorated U.S. combat veterans. The events renew concerns about how America cares for veterans – including in regard to mental health care and meaningful social connections. Also: today's stories, including why India is investing in its ports, how self-determination remains a major concern for Gazans as “day after” plans are made for Gaza without their input, and how activists in Liberia are working to successfully end female genital mutilation. Join the Monitor's Ira Porter for today's news.

In this episode, Sylvester Youlo, MD, MBA, MHA,  FAAOS, FAAHKS - Orthopedic Surgery & Sports Medicine, Business Strategy & Leadership, Phelps Health in Rolla, Missouri, joins the podcast to share his journey from Liberia to rural Missouri and discuss why medical education must be streamlined to meet growing physician shortages. He also offers insights on leadership, innovation, and building systems that improve patient care.
