durée : 00:05:52 - La Revue de presse internationale - par : Caroline Félix - Au cri de "Nos enfants meurent, finis les zombies !", des milliers de personnes ont manifesté à Monrovia, la capitale du Liberia, pour demander des mesures contre la consommation de drogues en augmentation dans le pays.

It was a significant moment when Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was declared president of Liberia in 2005 - Africa's first elected female head of state. Although she made significant progress in promoting peace and development - which earned her a Nobel Peace Prize - her accomplishments were overshadowed by allegations of corruption and nepotism. She discusses her journey, which includes both achievements and controversies; what she would have done differently; and the various economic challenges that African countries are facing today.

Our God Still Speaks: Real-life Stories Of How God Answers Prayers – Book 1 by Virginia Stewart MetzlerHave you ever wondered if God still speaks today as He did in Old Testament times? Have you longed to see evidence of God's working in your life? Have you struggled because of unanswered prayers? Then you must read Our God Still Speaks. After God led the Old Testament Israelites across the Jordan River, Joshua stacked up stones as a memorial to Him. Every time the Israelites saw those stones, they were reminded of God's faithfulness to them. Similarly, Our God Still Speaks is Virginia Stewart Metzler's own “stack of stones.” It is her written memorial of God's repeated answers to prayer. Virginia and her former husband were missionaries in Liberia, West Africa until he was killed in a tragic plane crash. After she married Les Metzler, they became missionaries with Wycliffe Bible Translators in the Philippines. This book reveals compelling stories of God's working in their lives and it was written to honor God. Her prayer is that it will motivate, encourage and bless those who still seek Him.Virginia Stewart Metzler was born in Houston, Texas. After high school, Virginia married John Thomas (Tommy) Barnett, Jr., a pilot, and moved to Liberia, West Africa. There they served as missionaries with R. G. LeTourneau for two years. After Tommy's untimely death, Virginia moved back to the U.S. with her two small children, Vicki and Randy. Virginia met Les Metzler after moving to California from Texas. They have now been married 46 years. Virginia and Les served as support missionaries for 14 years with Wycliffe Bible Translators and the Summer Institute of Linguistics. They are the parents of two married children and an adopted daughter Hannah-Joy, a pre-med student. Besides being a wife, mother and grandmother, Virginia is an artist, writer, Bible teacher and discipler of women.https://www.readersmagnet.com/product/our-god-still-speaks-real-life-stories-of-how-god-answers-prayers-book-1/http://www.bluefunkbroacasting.com/root/twia/9723vmrm2.mp3   

In this conversation, writer and author of The Mother Code, Ruthie Ackerman, shares her personal journey from being childfree to becoming a mother, exploring the complexities of motherhood, societal expectations, and the emotional struggles that accompany the decision to have children. You'll hear Ruthie and Keltie discuss: How Ruthie decided to pursue motherhood in spite of her ambivalence, and being only 55% confident in her choice to have kids. How being from a long lineage of women who left their children, meant Ruthie was scared she would do the same.  Why a difference of opinion about kids meant the end of her marriage, and how Ruthie navigated dating while pursuing motherhood. Ruthie's experiences with egg freezing, IVF, and egg donation. How Ruthie's book, The Mother Code, seeks to dismantle traditional notions of motherhood, while highlighting the ambivalence many women feel about motherhood. Why those who become mothers need to identify and create their own version of motherhood, rather than the versions that have been given to them.  As mentioned in the show: Find Ruthie online at www.ruthieackerman.com You can find her book, The Mother Code, all places that books are sold: ruthieackerman.com/the-mother-code And on Instagram: www.instagram.com/ruackerman/ About Ruthie: Ruthie began her writing career with a promise: to shine a light on the people, places, and ideas that are too often ignored. After a stint at the New York Times and a few years reporting on the economy for Forbes, she was awarded journalism fellowships to war-torn Liberia and Lebanon to showcase young people in both countries who were rebuilding their lives out of the ashes of destruction—and finding the resilience to push forward.  In the decade since, she has profiled game-changing entrepreneurs and social activists and written extensively about the professional and financial advancement of women. Ruthie wrote a piece for the New York Times Modern Love column about her own failed egg freezing. “Don't Put All Your (Frozen) Eggs in One Basket,” which became the launching point for her memoir, The Mother Code: My Story of Love, Loss, And The Myths That Shape Us (May 2025, Penguin Random House), and shifted her focus from traditional reporting to personal stories.   She started Ignite Writers Collective in 2019 as a way to work with other writers at all stages of their careers, sharing her insights from years as an editor and writer. Her clients have gotten book deals, published essays, and found the bravery to share their stories with the world.  Ruthie's writing has been published in Vogue, Glamour, O Magazine, The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Salon, Slate, Newsweek, and more. Most recently, she was the Deputy Editor at ForbesWomen. She has a Master's in Journalism from NYU and lives in Brooklyn with her husband and their daughter. Ruthie's forthcoming memoir, The Mother Code, will be released in 2025 by Random House.  __ Get details on an upcoming Kids or Childfree Workshop: kidsorchildfree.com/workshop Check out our free resources here, or at kidsorchildfree.com/free-resources And don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review The Kids or Childfree Podcast if you love what you're hearing!

Plus de 20 ans après la fin de la guerre civile qui a fait 250 000 morts, le Liberia va-t-il enfin juger ses plus grands criminels de guerre ? Le président Joseph Boakai semble décidé à franchir ce pas historique. Il y a un mois, il a présenté les excuses de l'État aux innombrables victimes et un tribunal spécial pourrait voir le jour en 2027. De 1990 à 2003, le reporter-photographe Patrick Robert est allé maintes fois sur place. Il y a été grièvement blessé par balle. Aujourd'hui, il témoigne devant les tribunaux et dans un livre intitulé Chaque heure compte, la dernière tue (paru aux éditions Erick Bonnier). Il est l'invité de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Dans votre livre, vous écrivez « Au Liberia, on tuait avec désinvolture et détachement ». En quoi cette guerre civile a-t-elle été différente des autres ? Patrick Robert : La première grosse différence, c'est que c'était une guerre totale commise avec la bonne conscience de gens qui font quelque chose avec la sensation qu'ils doivent le faire. La caractéristique d'une guerre civile, c'est que c'est une guerre d'amateurs. Ce sont des gens de la brousse qui, du jour au lendemain, se trouvent miliciens, combattants, une arme à la main. Et évidemment, les standards sont évidemment très éloignés des nôtres. Et c'était une guerre de villageois contre des citadins ? Pas que. C'était une guerre civile totale, d'ethnie contre ethnie, en fait. Vous racontez comment un milicien tue froidement un civil sous vos yeux, puis s'aperçoit que vous êtes là avec votre appareil photo et vous dit, tout sourire « Hey take my picture ! » (prends ma photo). Comment expliquez-vous une telle désinvolture ? Parce que ces gens simples avaient l'impression de faire leur travail afin d'accomplir leur mission. C'est tout le tragique de l'histoire. Moi, je ne pense pas qu'il y ait eu des crimes pour le plaisir de tuer… Oui, dans ces conditions-là, il y en a toujours. Mais je ne pense pas que l'ordre des politiciens était de le faire. Je pense que les chefs militaires, que ce soit Charles Taylor ou les autres, n'étaient pas plus émus que ça de la mort de leurs concitoyens. Mais je ne pense pas non plus qu'ils incitaient leurs miliciens à tuer aveuglément tout le monde. Je pense que c'est un pays où les gens étaient livrés à eux-mêmes avec une discipline inexistante. Il faut savoir aussi que Charles Taylor n'avait aucun moyen de communication avec ses troupes. Il avait un téléphone satellitaire que lui avait donné Félix Houphouët-Boigny, mais il n'avait pas de moyen de contacter ses soldats sur le front. Il n'y avait pas de téléphone cellulaire à l'époque et il n'avait pas de radio. Charles Taylor ne savait pas ce qui se passait sur le front. Il n'y allait pas lui-même. Il n'était pas un chef de guerre courageux. Ce n'était pas un bon chef de guerre. Son mouvement politique, le NPFL, a été bon tant qu'il avait Prince Johnson avec lui. Mais en fait, c'est Prince Johnson qui marquait les points sur le terrain. Comme Johnson a fait sécession et est parti dans son coin et a laissé tomber Taylor, Taylor n'a plus jamais avancé sérieusement sur le terrain et donc, parce que la situation a dégénéré, c'est devenu une guerre ethnique. Chaque ethnie avait son groupe armé avec son chef de guerre qui s'opposait aux autres. Alors, vous dites que chaque combattant faisait son travail, mais quand on abat une femme et ses enfants, ce n'est pas un travail comme un autre, non ? Non, je ne dis pas qu'il faisait son travail, je dis qu'il faisait ce qu'il pensait être son travail. Je pense que le milicien pensait que sa mission consistait à tuer des ennemis, quels qu'ils soient, hommes, femmes, enfants. Vous savez, dans une guerre ethnique, on est coupable de faire partie de l'ethnie adverse, quel que soit son âge ou son sexe. Les enfants, tant qu'ils peuvent porter une arme, ils sont en face de vous, donc ils sont des combattants. Les femmes, elles donnent naissance à des futurs combattants qui seront un jour en face de vos enfants. Et donc tout le monde est une cible légitime de ce point de vue de la guerre ethnique. C'est ça qui est effroyable. Comment se fait-il que, depuis 2003, il n'y ait jamais eu de procès de criminels de guerre au Liberia ? Je pense que les Libériens ont admis leur responsabilité collective. Ils ont admis que tout le monde avait perdu la tête. Et donc il n'y a pas un groupe ethnique qui a échappé au massacre commis par les leurs contre un autre groupe ethnique. Donc, il y a une sorte de nivellement par l'horreur, par le crime, qui fait que tout le monde s'est rendu coupable de choses répréhensibles devant la loi. Je pense qu'ils ont été tellement nombreux, dans tous les camps, à commettre des crimes que peut-être qu'ils n'ont pas très envie de remettre tout ça en cause et de se dire qu'il va falloir mettre les deux tiers du pays en prison. Mais je pense qu'aujourd'hui, les Libériens ont beaucoup évolué. Il y a un système démocratique qui s'est mis en place. Et en effet, je pense qu'ils ne doivent pas être très fiers de ce qu'ont fait leurs prédécesseurs pendant cette guerre civile. Et si en 2027, donc dans deux ans, un tribunal sur les crimes de la guerre civile s'ouvre à Monrovia, est-ce que vous serez prêt à venir témoigner ? Si on me le demande, oui, comme témoin de contexte pour expliquer mon expérience, c'est peut-être même un devoir puisque je l'ai vécue. Et quand vous avez témoigné au procès de Kunti Camara, c'était donc l'an dernier à Paris, est-ce que vous avez croisé son regard ? Il était très fuyant, il avait l'air totalement absent. Mais des criminels comme lui, il y en a des milliers au Liberia. La banalité de la mort ? Oui, la banalité de la mort. C'est une chose qui m'a beaucoup surpris au Liberia, comme en Sierra Leone d'ailleurs, parce qu'à cette époque-là, la mort était quelque chose de quotidien. On tuait les gens facilement sans que ça pose de problèmes éthiques, moraux. Cette banalité face à la mort, c'est peut-être un instinct de survie aussi, sinon personne ne s'en sortirait.

In This Episode You Will Hear: • I don't think I could beat Marcus at arm wrestling if I can't pick up a bowling ball. (1:58) • You do realize there's a thing called old man strength? (5:53) • [Rob O'Neil] I have a podcast as well, called “The Operator.” We're called The Operator because if you're doing anything, you're an operator. (6:18) • Having a big man to kick your ass and teach you wind a bobbin; you realize there is skill here. (9:59) • When people quit BUDS, it's not because “this is hard”. [It's because] I'm tired of the broken foot.; I'm tired of the shin splints; I'm tired of my dislocated shoulder; I'm tired. (21:20) • In BUDS, one of the biggest problems is eating too much. Like I want 5 cheeseburgers, but we have a 4-mile run afterwards. (26:35) • [Rob] and for everyone that doesn't know, can you explain what a SDV is? (39:20) [Marcus] Imagine a mini submarine and shrink it down. The difference is that a submarine is dry inside, and the SDV is completely full of water. (39:23) • Listen to Marcus discuss the details of being in an SDV for 8 hours. Talk about ultimate torture - If you have a deep freeze in your garage, fill that sucker full of water, crawl in there and sit down for 8 hours. (40:32) • The first time I got in there, I was terrified. (45:29) • [Marcus] There's stuff that happens to us out there. Sometimes safety gets in the way of it. (58:49) • [After falling down the mountain during Operation Red Wings] I could hear that stream running. I've got to get me water, but I kept thinking I can't drink out of it, because my buddies are in it. (81:07) • If you want to make God laugh, tell Him what your plan is. (92:04) • [Marcus] Bro, when you saw that son of a bitch's face [Osama Bin Laden], what was the first thing you saw? [Rob O'Neal] I saw his nose. He was skinny, wearing white – tall. (95:22 ) • My nickname was “Nisro” (Navy SEAL Rob O'Neal). When they asked “Who got him?” They go “Nisro,” and they said “Fuck! We're never gonna hear the end of it.” (97:30) Support Robert:   - IG: mchooyah - Host of The Operator Podcast Support TNQ   - IG: team_neverquit , marcusluttrell , melanieluttrell , huntero13   -  https://www.patreon.com/teamneverquit Sponsors:   - dripdrop.com/TNQ    -  cargurus.com/TNQ    - armslist.com/TNQ   - partnersinbuilding.com - Navyfederal.org        -    - You can find Cremo's new line of antiperspirants and deodorants at Target or Target.com    - WARFARE IN THEATERS APRIL 11th Watch Trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JER0Fkyy3tw First Look Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3DWuqiAUKg&t=3s    -   - PXGapparel.com/TNQ   - bruntworkwear.com/TNQ    - Selectquote.com/TNQ    - Groundnews.com/TNQ    - You can find Cremo's new line of antiperspirants and deodorants at Target or Target.com    - shipsticks.com/TNQ    - Robinhood.com/gold    - strawberry.me/TNQ    - stopboxusa.com {TNQ}    - ghostbed.com/TNQ [TNQ]   -  kalshi.com/TNQ   -  joinbilt.com/TNQ    - Tonal.com [TNQ]   - greenlight.com/TNQ   - PDSDebt.com/TNQ   - drinkAG1.com/TNQ   - Shadyrays.com [TNQ]   - qualialife.com/TNQ [TNQ]   - Hims.com/TNQ   - Shopify.com/TNQ   - Aura.com/TNQ   - Policygenius.com   - TAKELEAN.com [TNQ]   - usejoymode.com [TNQ]

La Anexión del Partido de Nicoya al territorio nacional fue un largo proceso iniciado incluso antes de su formalización en 1824 y que culminó hasta 1838, cuando las municipalidades de Nicoya, Santa Cruz y Villa Guanacaste (actualmente Liberia) ratificaron su decisión de seguir vinculadas a Costa Rica. Geográficamente, esos tres territorios comprendían las tierras al oeste del río Tempisque hasta el océano Pacífico. Al norte se extendían desde el río Salto hasta el lago de Nicaragua. Como todo evento sociopolítico tenemos que comprenderlo en su contexto, con sus particularidades. Y claro, con el transcurrir del tiempo podemos poner en perspectiva aquella histórica decisión en lo atinente a la consolidación de nuestra identidad y soberanía. Para celebrar los 201 años de la Anexión conversamos con la historiadora Ana María Botey Sobrado.

In 2018, Paul Le Roux, a white Zimbabwean who held South African and Australian passports, was a notorious crime lord who illegally trafficked drugs, gold, and guns. He testified in a U.S. court about having murdered numerous people by professional assassins, including a Filipina real estate agent killed in 2012. Six years earlier from his testimony, Le Roux was arrested by the Drug Enforcement Administration in Liberia. He began to cooperate with the U.S. government as they rounded up and prosecuted his criminal organization members for reducing a possible life sentence.For any collaboration, brand partnership, and campaign run inquiries, e-mail us at info@thepodnetwork.com.CONNECT WITH US▸ https://linktr.ee/phmurderstoriesHere are links to our social media accounts, case photos, episode notes, and sources!YOUTUBE▸ www.youtube.com/phmurderstories DISCORD SERVER▸ https://bit.ly/3n38Tuh IG CHANNEL▸ https://ig.me/j/AbaOmN2HytgKay0F/ SUPPORT OUR SHOW ON PATREON▸ www.patreon.com/phmurderstories Hosted on Acast.

Angela Rye interviews Rodney Taylor’s fiancée, Mildred Pierre. Rodney Taylor didn’t know he was undocumented until he was 17. Earlier this year, I.C.E surrounded his car and arrested him in front of his family. They told him that he’ll be deported back to Liberia without seeing a judge or receiving a hearing, even though he hasn’t been back to Liberia since he was two years old. At 46, he lives in Georgia where he works as a barber. Taylor is a father of seven children who he shares with his fiancée, Mildred. They were engaged shortly before his arrest. This is not the first time that Rodney Taylor has had his life wrongly turned upside down by the justice system. His previous pardoned conviction is how he ended up arrested by ICE this time around...

In this episode, we explore the extraordinary life of Brigadier General Charles Young — a man born into slavery in Mays Lick, Kentucky, during the Civil War who went on to break barriers across the U.S. military and beyond. Despite facing relentless racism, repeated demotions, and exclusion due to his race, Young became a pioneer and trailblazer, achieving numerous historic firsts as a Black officer in the U.S. Army.You'll learn about Young's journey from his family's escape to freedom in Ripley, Ohio, through his tough years at West Point, his service with the Buffalo Soldiers, and his role as the first Black superintendent of a National Park (Sequoia & General Grant). We also learn about his friendships with figures like W.E.B. Du Bois, and his diplomatic posts in Haiti and Liberia.This episode touches on Young's incredible resilience, the legacy he left through public service, education, and advocacy, and his long-overdue posthumous promotion to Brigadier General in 2021. *The transcript for this show is auto generated using AI.

In this expansive episode, Ghost dives deep into Africa's shifting alliances and the global scramble for critical resources. He opens with Trump's Africa Summit, where five West African nations were invited to Washington to negotiate trade deals centered on rare earth minerals, oil, and gas. Ghost methodically dissects NPR and AP coverage, showing how Western media narratives obscure the real incentives driving U.S. outreach, countering China's and Russia's growing footholds across the continent. Using detailed maps and timelines, he explains how military coups in Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso have created a new power bloc aligned with Russia, and why Liberia, Gabon, and others were strategically selected for engagement. The conversation moves to the Pentagon's controversial investment in MP Materials, effectively nationalizing America's only rare earth mine to break dependence on Chinese supply chains. Ghost then pivots to Israel's turmoil, exploring how Netanyahu's government is trapped between domestic collapse, far-right coalition partners, and stalled Gaza negotiations. With plenty of sidebars, on rare earth land grabs, CIA-backed coups, and the long game of economic warfare, this episode is equal parts exposé and history lesson, revealing how old empires still pull the strings behind modern headlines.

From June 21, 2023: Carolyn Cole, a Pulitzer-Prize winning staff photographer for the Los Angeles Times, has covered wars and other conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Kosovo, Liberia, Sudan, Nicaragua, Haiti, and the U.S.-Mexico border. Over the course of her 30 year career, she has been seriously injured on the job precisely once—when members of the Minnesota State Patrol pushed Cole over a retaining wall and pepper sprayed her so badly that her eyes were swollen shut. Cole was in Minneapolis in the summer of 2020 to cover the protests after the murder of George Floyd. She was wearing a flak jacket marked TV, a helmet, and carried press credentials at the time of her attack. Cole's story is not unique among the press corps. According to a new report out this week from the Knight First Amendment Institute called “Covering Democracy: Protests, the Police, and the Press,” in 2020, at least 129 journalists were arrested while covering social justice protests and more than 400 suffered physical attacks, 80 percent of them at the hands of law enforcement. As Joel Simon, author of the report and former Executive Director of the Committee to Protect Journalists, writes, “The presence of the media is essential to dissent; it is the oxygen that gives protests life. Media coverage is one of the primary mechanisms by which protesters' grievances and demands reach the broader public.”Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien sat down with Joel, as well as Katy Glenn Bass, the Research Director of the Knight First Amendment Institute, to discuss the report, the long legacy of law enforcement attacks on journalists covering protests in America, who counts as “the press” in the eyes of the court, and what can be done to better ensure press freedom.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
