« Les Lionnes indomptables ont décroché le premier titre continental de leur histoire, se félicite Actu Cameroun. Le Cameroun a dominé le Malawi (3 buts à 0), hier soir, en finale de la CAN Féminine 2026, au terme d'une prestation parfaitement maîtrisée. Portées par une Marie Gisele Ngah Manga en état de grâce et une Naomie Eto inspirée, les Camerounaises ont rapidement pris les commandes de la rencontre. Ngah Manga a frappé à deux reprises, tandis que Naomie Eto a également trouvé le chemin des filets pour sceller le succès camerounais. Solides dans tous les secteurs du jeu et nettement supérieures à leurs adversaires, relève encore Actu Cameroun, les Lionnes ont livré une finale pleine d'autorité. Le Malawi, pourtant tombeur de plusieurs adversaires durant la compétition, n'a jamais réussi à véritablement les inquiéter ». La fin du règne des Super Falcons « Ce sacre vient mettre fin à une longue attente, constate pour sa part Afrik.com. Le Cameroun avait déjà atteint la finale de la CAN féminine en 2004, 2014 et 2016, sans jamais parvenir à soulever le trophée. Pour leur quatrième finale, les Lionnes indomptables ont cette fois répondu présentes ». En effet, renchérit WakatSéra avec des accents lyriques : « en rugissant par trois fois dans cette apothéose inédite et historique contre des Malawites qui ont, visiblement, perdu leur mordant des rencontres précédentes, les Camerounaises, malgré une polémique heureusement vite éteinte de primes de qualification, ont mis fin à un règne interminable, et presque sans partage, des Super Falcons nigérianes sur le football féminin africain. Désormais, après la razzia des 10 titres du Nigeria, les Camerounaises viennent, enfin, de monter sur le toit de l'Afrique, dans une finale qu'elles ont dominée de la tête et des pieds ». L'Algérie arrache la 3e place Dans la petite finale avant-hier, l'Algérie est venue à bout du Maroc… « L'Algérie renverse le Maroc et arrache la 3e place », jubile Le Matin d'Algérie. À la fin de la rencontre, relate le quotidien algérien, « l'arbitre a accordé un penalty litigieux au Maroc après un léger contact entre Diki et Smits. Mais la marocaine Nouhaila Benzina a trouvé le poteau et n'a donc pas pu conclure. Un raté aux lourdes conséquences puisque les Marocaines ne s'en sont pas remises lors de la rocambolesque séance de tirs aux buts qui a suivi, marquée par de nombreux ratés ». C'est « la malédiction du point de pénalty », pour le Maroc, s'exclame Afrik.com. Avant-hier soir, « lors de la séance de tirs au but, la gardienne algérienne Chloé N'Gazi a (en effet) repoussé deux tentatives marocaines. (…) Et déjà, dans cette même CAN, lors de la troisième journée de poules contre le Sénégal, les Marocaines avaient raté deux penalties en l'espace de 4 minutes ». Afrik.com qui rappelle aussi ce pénalty manqué lors de la finale de la CAN messieurs. C'était en janvier dernier contre le Sénégal : la fameuse panenka manquée de Brahim Diaz… Accorder plus de crédit au football féminin africain ! Enfin, cette réflexion de Ledjely en Guinée : « s'il y a un enseignement à tirer de cette 14ème édition de la CAN féminine, c'est bien la nécessité d'accroître le soutien au football féminin. Certes, nous n'en sommes pas encore au même niveau que la CAN masculine. Mais tout de même, certaines rencontres du tournoi qui vient de s'achever ont offert un football de grande qualité, au point qu'on a eu le sentiment que, si nos footballeuses bénéficiaient de la même attention et du même accompagnement que nos footballeurs, elles pourraient nous offrir des prestations encore plus abouties. Mais, pour une fois, pointe encore Ledjely, la responsabilité n'incombe pas qu'à nos fédérations et à nos États. À voir les gradins clairsemés qui ont caractérisé ce tournoi, on comprend que le défi est aussi, et peut-être surtout, d'ordre sociétal. C'est d'une évolution collective des mentalités que nous aurons besoin pour donner un coup de pouce salvateur au football féminin africain ».
Kameroen het die nuwelinge Malawi met 3-0 verslaan en daarmee hul heel eerste Afrikabeker-titel vir vroue in Rabat, Marokko, verower. In 'n uitstekende vertoning in die eerste helfte het Marie Ngah twee doele aangeteken, met 'n derde deur Naomi Ndjoah Eto in ekstra tyd van die eerste helfte. Kameroen is die vierde onderskeie land om Wafcon te wen en sluit nou aan by Nigerië, Ekwatoriaal-Guinee en Suid-Afrika. Kameroen se doelwagter Michaely Kyria Bihia sê die span het alles gegee om te wen:

Et un, et deux, et trois zéro ! Impériales en finale face au Malawi, les Lionnes Indomptables ont été sacrées championnes d'Afrique, ce dimanche à Rabat. Un dernier match référence pour clore une compétition qu'elles ont dominé de la tête et des épaules. Les Camerounaises remportent le premier titre continental de leur histoire.
Jour de finale à Rabat ! Et quoiqu'il arrive, le vainqueur remportera la CAN féminine pour la première fois. Le Cameroun, pour sa quatrième finale et après un parcours exceptionnel, veut écrire la dernière page de son histoire.

Jon Nelson hosts the best of SDH AM from the Soccer Down Here Network, with three guests who each bring a different corner of the soccer world into focus. Danny Higginbotham joins to react to the reported €18 million move that could bring Breel Embolo to Atlanta United, then breaks down what Saturday's Nashville SC matchup with Inter Miami at GEODIS Park will hinge on, from Lionel Messi's emotional return following his father's health scare to the absence of one of Miami's most consistent defenders. Diego Pessolano, Spanish language play by play voice for Apple TV and Fútbol de Primera, talks about calling more than twenty World Cup matches this summer, his lifelong devotion to Argentina and Boca Juniors, and why the Leagues Cup format rewards teams that can win under pressure. And Ali Howorth walks through the Women's Africa Cup of Nations semifinals, where Malawi, ranked 153rd in the world and playing in their first ever WAFCON, have already qualified for next year's Women's World Cup behind sisters Temwa and Tabitha Chawinga, a story that traces back to a single academy coach in Malawi who paid for their flights to Europe out of his own pocket.

South Africa says it is asking Nigeria, Malawi and Ethiopia to share the cost of deporting tens of thousands of illegal immigrants to their home countries. The country's Department of Home Affairs says it spent nearly $18 million in the exercise, far exceeding the budgetary allocation. About 82,000 people were repatriated to their home countries since anti-migrant protests started. And a UN report says one in three people can't afford a healthy diet, despite a decline in global hunger in recent years.

In this episode of the Africa Five-a-Side podcast, we recap the 2026 WAFCON semi-finals between Algeria and Malawi, Morocco and Cameroon-----------------------This podcast is brought to you by Africa Is a Country: https://africasacountry.com/department/football-is-a-countrySubscribe to The Corner Flag newsletter: https://africasacountry.com/newsletterFollow us on social media:https://twitter.com/AfricanFiveSidehttps://www.tiktok.com/@african.fiveaside
Elle l'avait dit avant-hier au quotidien The Nation : « Je pense que nous avons de bonnes chances de gagner ce match. Nous allons redoubler d'efforts pour l'emporter contre l'Algérie en demi-finale car nous sommes ici avec l'objectif de remporter la coupe et la ramener au Malawi. » Faith Chimzimu, l'attaquante des Scorchers, qui évolue en Suède, avait vu juste… Le Malawi a battu l'Algérie mercredi soir sur le score de 3 buts à 1. « Elles l'ont fait ! », s'exclame WakatSéra. « Les Malawites, qui étaient les moins attendues dans le dernier carré de cette 14e Coupe d'Afrique des nations féminine, sont en finale, où elles rencontreront, ce dimanche, les Lionnes indomptables du Cameroun ! Le mercredi 12 août 2026, tiendra désormais, une place importante dans l'histoire du football du Malawi et de l'Afrique entière. Porté par les sœurs Chawinga, véritables icônes dans leurs pays, le Malawi devient ainsi l'équipe des premières, relève le quotidien burkinabé : première participation à la CAN, première finale et peut-être premier trophée de championne d'Afrique dimanche soir, avec une première qualification à la prochaine Coupe du monde en 2027 au Brésil, ticket obtenu depuis les demi-finales de cette CAN ». Un carton rouge trop sévère ? Cette défaite face au Malawi, l'Algérie a bien du mal à la digérer… En effet, relève Afrikfoot, « les Vertes se sont vues réduites en infériorité numérique dès la 23e minute de jeu, suite à l'expulsion de Morgane Belkhiter. La latérale droite de 30 ans a écopé d'un carton rouge. Coupable d'une faute sur Tabitha Chawinga, la pensionnaire de Saint-Étienne a payé sa position de dernière défenseure avant de quitter la pelouse en larmes. Une décision trop sévère aux yeux des observateurs algériens, qui n'ont pas manqué de le faire savoir sur les réseaux sociaux, avec une pointe de colère. Et comme souvent, c'est l'arbitrage africain qui prend cher, pointe encore Afrikfoot. Le média ShootAfrica parle de "désastre", tandis que JDZ Football évoque "un carton rouge imaginaire" qui a influencé directement le destin du match ». Les Lionnes ont battu les Lionnes… En finale dimanche, le Malawi sera donc opposé au Cameroun… Le Cameroun qui est venu à bout du Maroc mercredi, à l'issue de l'épreuve des tirs au but. « Les Lionnes Indomptables ont éliminé les Lionnes de l'Atlas ! », exulte le site Actu Cameroun. « Elles ont fait jeu égal avec les Marocaines durant 90 minutes et les 30 minutes de prolongation. Les pouliches de Valentine Nguele ont finalement décroché leur billet lors de l'épreuve des tirs au but. Les Camerounaises se sont imposées 3-1 grâce à la gardienne Michaely Bihina, héroïne dans les cages. La gardienne a arrêté trois des quatre tirs des Marocaines. Une performance XXL qui permet au Cameroun de se qualifier pour la finale. (…) Les Lionnes Indomptables affronteront donc le Malawi dimanche. Une affiche qui s'annonce palpitante pour les Lionnes, poursuit Actu Cameroun, qui partent favorites pour ce match ultime du tournoi. Les Camerounaises auront pour objectif de remporter ce trophée pour la première fois après trois échecs en finale ». Et on revient à WakatSéra pour qui « les joueuses africaines ont démontré que le talent footballistique peut, bel et bien, être conjugué au féminin. Et certainement, si l'enjeu ne tue pas le jeu, Malawites et Camerounaises offriront un spectacle de choix dimanche à des spectateurs et téléspectateurs de plus en plus friands de football féminin. Comme quoi, le ballon est rond pour tous et… toutes ! » UEFA vs Fifa Enfin, football toujours, avec ce pied de nez de l'UEFA à la Fifa… Et ce commentaire de Ledjely en Guinée : « Comme elle s'y était engagée, l'UEFA, l'Union des associations européennes de football, pour adoucir l'injustice dont il a été victime en étant privé de la Coupe du monde, l'UEFA a offert à l'arbitre somalien, Omar Artan, de diriger le match de la Supercoupe qui opposait hier soir le Paris-Saint-Germain et Aston Villa, respectivement vainqueurs de la Ligue des champions et de l'Europa League. Un geste aussi fort que symbolique, pour désapprouver une attitude aussi abjecte qu'inique, s'exclame le site guinéen. (…) Ce geste des responsables européens du football est un message adressé en premier lieu à la Fifa, dont le silence face à l'humiliation infligée à Omar Artan en avait indigné plus d'un. Mais, pointe encore Ledjely, ce message s'adresse également à la CAF, la Confédération africaine de football qui, agissant elle aussi en obligée de Gianni Infantino, n'avait pas pipé mot ».

African soccer journalist Ali Howorth stops by SDH AM to look at how the 2026 WAFCON tourney got to an unlikely final four- that starts tomorrow...Ali breaks down the state of play and the growth on the African continent
What can a nonprofit with just 650 active donors—and a median gift of only $100—teach us about raising millions through a capital campaign?In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Andrea Kihlstedt speaks with Sister Marilyn Lacey, founder and executive director of Mercy Beyond Borders, about how her small international nonprofit raised more than 75% of its $8.5 million campaign goal in less than 11 months.Mercy Beyond Borders works in some of the world's most challenging environments, including South Sudan, Haiti, Malawi, and refugee camps in Uganda and Kenya. Its mission is to help women and girls living in extreme poverty learn, connect, and lead. After 18 years of demonstrating that its model works, the organization launched an ambitious growth campaign to reach more girls and expand the long-term impact of its programs.The campaign began with an unexpected $1.5 million anonymous gift, followed by a remarkable $3 million pledge from a donor whose first contribution—made roughly 20 years earlier—was just $125. Sister Marilyn explains how that relationship developed gradually through conversations, storytelling, coffee, ball games, and genuine friendship. Her experience is a powerful reminder that today's modest donor may become tomorrow's transformational campaign supporter.But this episode is not simply a story about securing large gifts. It is a practical and inspiring conversation about donor relationships, capital campaign planning, feasibility studies, storytelling, and the mindset nonprofit leaders bring to fundraising.Sister Marilyn shares why she prefers to frame fundraising asks as invitations rather than requests for money. Instead of emphasizing organizational need or approaching supporters from a place of anxiety, she invites donors to participate in work that is hopeful, effective, and transformational. Her guiding advice is refreshingly simple: exude joy and confidence. As she puts it, no one wants to join a sinking ship.You'll also hear how Mercy Beyond Borders uses a monthly email newsletter to deepen donor engagement without constantly asking for gifts. Each edition centers the story of one woman or girl and shows supporters what their generosity is accomplishing. Combined with personalized thank-you letters and thoughtful individual touches, this consistent stewardship has helped the organization achieve an impressive 59% donor-retention rate.Sister Marilyn also discusses the value of bringing structure to an ambitious campaign. Although she was confident in her ability to connect with donors, Capital Campaign Pro's feasibility study process, campaign framework, templates, and weekly advising sessions helped Mercy Beyond Borders test its plans, engage prospective donors, and move forward with greater confidence.This episode offers valuable capital campaign guidance for small nonprofits, international organizations, founders, executive directors, development professionals, and anyone wondering whether their donor base is large or wealthy enough to support a major fundraising initiative. Mercy Beyond Borders proves that a relatively small organization can pursue a bold campaign goal when it has a compelling mission, loyal supporters, authentic leadership, strong donor stewardship, and the courage to invite people into something meaningful.To ensure your campaign ends in a celebration, download our free Capital Campaign Step-by-Step Guide & Checklist - https://capitalcampaignpro.com/checklist/ - This intuitive guide breaks down each step of your campaign, and the timeline allows you to visualize your whole campaign, from start to finish!

Send us Fan MailHello friends! In today's episode, I breakdown the historic achievement of Malawi qualifying for the 2027 Women's World Cup in their deep run at the first ever WAFCON. This leads into a semi-finals preview, as the showdown to the Finals nears. Temwa Chawinga feature: https://www.shescoresbangers.com/p/meet-temwa-chawinga-the-malawianFollow me on X@ shescoresbanger#wafcon2026 #wafcon #malawi #womensfootball Support the show
WAFCON's quarterfinals just delivered the craziest week in the tournament's history, and the results prove it: ten-time champion and defending champion Nigeria were knocked out and Malawi, playing in just their first-ever WAFCON, qualified for their first-ever World Cup as the lowest-ranked nation to ever do it.In this episode, LDG breaks down all four quarterfinal matches before making the case that the World Cup slot allocation hasn't caught up to what African women's football has become. He lays out the numbers first: CAF and UEFA have almost identical membership, 54 nations to 55, yet UEFA gets eleven direct World Cup slots to CAF's four. This year's WAFCON proves how badly that decision missed the mark and why this current framework is detrimental to the growth of the women's game.He backs it up with what just happened on the pitch, a 16-team WAFCON field for the first time ever with two debutant nations reaching the tournament and a group so tight that CAF had to separate Malawi, Nigeria, and Zambia on a rarely-used head-to-head tiebreaker.From there, LDG gets into the storylines carrying the tournament into its final week, including KC Current forward Temwa Chawinga's goal against Ghana that kept Malawi's run alive, and what it means for an NWSL name to be at the center of an African qualifying story.He previews Wednesday's semifinals, Morocco hosting Cameroon in Rabat and Malawi facing Algeria in Casablanca, and closes on the four teams still fighting for a way into Brazil: Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, and Ivory Coast all play an extra round on August 13 for a single remaining spot in the FIFA inter-confederation playoff, with two former champions now needing one more result just to stay alive.As mentioned in the episode, if you are looking to more WAFCON content, listen to our interview with Nigerian forward Esther Okoronkwo here, which we released on the day of their first 2026 WAFCON match!Thank you all for listening!

For the Glory KC is back with the 190th episode of the show!Ted Lasso's "love letter to Kansas City" leads the podcast this week. The first episode of season four was filled with KC easter eggs and has a lot of the world talking about Kansas City. We talked about what we loved and what it could mean for the world's understanding of KC.Sporting Kansas City had the week off, but there is plenty swirling around the team still. Mo Salah officially spurned Sporting KC in favor of signing in Turkiye. Andre Luiz didn't sign with SKC this week, at least not officially. But there are more clues that move is on the horizon. And Manu Garcia posted to Instagram in a way that was misinterpreted by some as a goodbye. Luckily Manu cleared it up for us.The KC Current hit the road and earned a draw that felt like a loss after they led for a great deal of their game against the Houston Dash. It felt like a tactical failure of Chris Armas and his coaching staff to go into a shell for the entire second half. A semi-controversial penalty call on Elizabeth Ball let Houston tie it up and that's how it ended, 1-1.In happier news, Debinha broke the all-time NWSL goal scoring record. Croix Bethune was honored on the NWSL team of the month and there were several positive injury updates for the depleted Current. Plus, Malawi and Temwa Chawinga are on the verge of history.In the Digital Crawl, we hit a few more topics:All that FIFA dramaRacing Louisville could be relocatedNew MLS Commissioner and his inherited projectsHere is a rundown of sections and start times:Intro - 0:00Ted Lasso - 3:31Sporting KC - 16:04KC Current - 35:48Digital Crawl - 51:41Upcoming GamesSKC II @ Austin FC II, SUN, Aug 9th at 7:30PM CSTKC Current @ Gotham, FRI, Aug 14th at 7:00PMSKC II vs. Rapids 2, SAT, Aug 15th at 7:00PMSporting KC @ Colorado Rapids, SAT, Aug 15th at 8:30PMAs a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled.com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

En su guerra con Irán y su apoyo a Israel, las fuerzas estadounidenses que dirige junto a los generales el Secretario de Defensa Pete Hegseth han lanzado miles de misiles e interceptores y ahora las reservas están peligrosamente bajas, según denuncia el propio ejército del país. El asunto es tan peliagudo que, según un artículo del Washington Post, está dificultando la operación militar estadounidense contra Irán.Mañana es la toma de posesión del presidente electo Abelardo de la Espriella, que ya está dejando notar su sello al decidir que la ceremonia tenga lugar en la ciudad de Cali y no en la capital, Bogotá.

After the disappointing opening defeat to Malawi, Nigeria bounced back with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Zambia to breathe new life into their WAFCON 2026 campaign. Asisat Oshoala's goal proved to be the difference, but the story of the match was Nigeria's resilience after being reduced to 10 players in the first half and still producing a disciplined defensive performance to secure all three points.Olu reviews the game, analyses the tactical improvements from the Malawi defeat, highlights the standout individual performances, and discusses why this result could be a turning point in Nigeria's title defence. The win lifts the Super Falcons into second place in Group C and keeps both their WAFCON ambitions and their hopes of qualifying for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup back on track.Check out our website: nigeriafootballweekly.com Follow Nigeria Football Weekly:Twitter - https://twitter.com/NFWPod Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nigeriafootballweekly/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nigeriafootballweekly Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/NigeriaFootballWeekly Linktree - https://linktr.ee/nigeriafootballweekly Email - olu@nigeriafootballweekly.com

Le Royaume-Uni a confirmé des coupes budgétaires massives dans son aide au développement destinée à plusieurs pays africains, conséquence de la réduction progressive de l'effort d'aide de 0,5% à 0,3% du PIB d'ici 2027. Selon les détails publiés, le Mozambique, le Malawi, le Kenya et la Tanzanie verront leurs versements britanniques diminuer de 90% d'ici 2029, tandis que la Somalie et le Soudan du Sud subiront des réductions de près de 50%, malgré des contextes marqués par les conflits et les crises humanitaires. Comment expliquer cette décision ? À quel point les pays africains peuvent-ils en être impactés ? Londres avait promis de remplacer une partie de ces financements directs par une « assistance technique » via des ONG et des consultants. Ce système peut-il compenser les coupes budgétaires ? Avec Emeline Vin, correspondante de RFI à Londres.

What keeps a faith vibrant after four decades of ministry? That unexpected question, asked by a young church leader in Baltimore after a discussion on archaeology and the early church, became the catalyst for one of the most important chapters I've written in Missiological Theology. In this episode of The 10-Minute Ephesiologist, I explore what I have come to call missiological spirituality—a way of life that begins not with spiritual practices alone, but with the Triune God who continually speaks and acts. Rather than reducing spirituality to knowledge, experience, or ministry activity, I propose a rhythm of curiosity, discovery, reflection, wonder, and participation that draws us ever deeper into God's perichoretic life and mission. If you've ever wondered why some faith grows stale while other faith remains vibrant, this conversation may help you ask two life-changing questions: What is God saying? What is God doing? Keywords: missiological spirituality, missiology, Triune God, Trinity, perichoresis, perichoretic mission, missiological theology, curiosity, discovery, reflection, wonder, participation, spiritual formation, Christian spirituality, theology, archaeology, New Testament archaeology, archaeology and the Bible, ecclesiology, mission of God, missio Dei, discipleship, church planting, theological education, discernment, God speaks, God acts, Kingdom of God, early church, Ephesiology, Michael T. Cooper Key Takeaways Why one simple question in Baltimore reshaped my understanding of spirituality. Why spirituality must begin with the missionary nature of the Triune God. How God's self-revelation through His words and His works forms the foundation of Christian spirituality. The fivefold rhythm of Curiosity → Discovery → Reflection → Wonder → Participation. Why theology without wonder becomes intellectualism. Why wonder without participation becomes emotionalism. Why ministry itself can become mechanical if it is no longer sustained by ongoing curiosity about God's activity. How archaeology, Scripture, culture, and everyday life continually invite us to discern God's presence and mission. Why the Christian life is best understood not as a ladder to climb, but as a lifelong spiral into deeper communion with God and fuller participation in His mission.

Pick up Dr. Cooper’s latest book Religions, politics, and education shaped the cultural world of Asia Minor where a new faith emerged that would change history. Gods, Emperors, Philosophers, and a New Movement uncovers how the earliest Christians navigated—and often disrupted and adapted—the dominant forces of their age. Drawing on decades of research, fieldwork, and teaching, Michael T. Cooper takes readers beneath the surface of Ephesos, Smyrna, Pergamon, and other cities to reveal how temples, inscriptions, and civic spaces illuminate the missionary impulse of the first Christians. Far from being silent, the archaeological record testifies to their resilience, creativity, and bold proclamation of the gospel in a world saturated with competing loyalties. This is more than history. By examining how the early church encountered powerful religious traditions, political ideologies, and systems of education, today's missionaries and church leaders gain fresh vision for gospel engagement in their own pluralistic and contested contexts. The dynamics that shaped mission in the first centuries—identity, power, worldview, and cultural disruption—remain central to how the good news advances today. This book is an invitation to rediscover the mission of God in the archaeological record and to discern its enduring relevance for faithful witness in the twenty-first century.

In a Muslim village in East Africa, 47 people confessed belief in Christ. But then Christian persecution came. Radical Muslims went house-to-house, threatening new believers and demanding they return to Islam. All but two of the new Christians renounced their faith. Brother Paulo, a leader in YWAM Frontier Missions in East Africa, met the two young men who stood firm for Christ. He asked them how they'd stayed faithful under such intense pressure. "The experience I had with Jesus was so strong that I cannot deny Jesus," the younger of the two men told him. In places like Northern Mozambique, South Sudan, Malawi, Tanzania and other East African countries, Muslim-background believers face persecution from their families and communities. Even those who have grown up in Christian families are likely to face persecution from Muslim communities – especially if they are involved in evangelism or outreach to Muslims. Brother Paulo will share more stories from our persecuted Christian brothers and sisters in East Africa, tell how God called him into missions and describe the endurance of churches in the region amid persecution. He will also share how believers prepare to face persecution and how Christians in free nations can pray for our brothers and sisters in East Africa.

V pondelkových letných epizódach ranného podcastu Denníka SME predstavuje Tatiana Čabáková Slovenky a Slovákov, ktorí sa presadili a zanechávajú výraznú stopu v českej spoločnosti. Tentoraz je jej hosťom epidemiológ Rastislav Maďar. Rastislav Maďar patrí medzi najvýraznejšie osobnosti českej medicíny. Je dekanom Lekárskej fakulty Ostravskej univerzity, vedie Ústav epidemiológie a ochrany verejného zdravia a ako poradca českého ministra zdravotníctva stojí na čele tímu odborníkov, ktorý pripravuje reformu systému ochrany verejného zdravia. Jej cieľom je, aby Česko dokázalo pri ďalšej pandémii reagovať rýchlejšie a efektívnejšie. Zároveň pôsobí ako honorárny konzul Slovenskej republiky v Ostrave a popri všetkých svojich funkciách sa naďalej venuje pacientom vo svojej epidemiologickej ambulancii. Pre medicínu sa rozhodol už ako jedenásťročný po tom, čo videl dokument o hladomore vo východnej Afrike. V roku 2004 založil charitatívnu organizáciu International Humanity, prostredníctvom ktorej organizuje lekárske misie v najchudobnejších regiónoch sveta. V africkom Malawi vybudoval nemocnicu, kam sa dvakrát ročne vracia, aby školil miestnych zdravotníkov a zabezpečoval zdravotnícky materiál i vybavenie. Jeho pacienti často prichádzajú za ošetrením pešo aj niekoľko desiatok kilometrov a mnohí z nich nevedia čítať ani písať. V podcaste sa dozviete: ako funguje unikátna simulačná nemocnica, v ktorej sa vzdelávajú študenti Lekárskej fakulty v Ostrave, koľko študentov fakulty tvoria Slováci, ako sa za posledné roky zmenil prístup mladých lekárov k povolaniu, ako požiadavka na rovnováhu medzi pracovným a súkromným životom ovplyvňuje výber lekárskej špecializácie, prečo považuje empatiu za jednu z najdôležitejších vlastností lekára, ako chce zmeniť systém ochrany verejného zdravia v Česku, aby bol lepšie pripravený na budúce pandémie, ako sa darí získavať zdravotnícky personál pre nemocnicu v odľahlom regióne Malawi, akým spôsobom vzdeláva negramotných obyvateľov miestnych dedín o prevencii chorôb, a čoho sa európski lekári počas humanitárnych misií v Afrike obávajú najviac. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Odoberajte aj audio verziu denného newslettra SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/brifingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A compliant submitted by the Nigerian Press Organisation, which represents newspaper owners, journalists' unions, broadcasters and online publishers, has prompted the country's President Bola Tinubu to issue an investigation by the country's competition regulator into major technology companies over alleged anti-competitive practices and unauthorised use of news content. Growing influence of big-tech companies in Africa has sparked concerns over dominance in digital advertising, the use of news content without fair compensation, algorithms that control what people see, and the impact of artificial intelligence on journalism and copyright.Also, we take a look at a new Malawian National Action Plan that seeks to improve the rights of people with albinism in the workplace.
