Après plus de trois mois de flambée des prix, les billets d'avion vont-ils revenir à un coût raisonnable ? En Afrique, c'est l'espoir de beaucoup de voyageurs, au moment où l'on annonce la réouverture du détroit d'Ormuz. Mais attention, même si le détroit rouvre effectivement, le prix du baril de kérosène ne va pas baisser aussi vite qu'il est monté. Le Malien Abderrahmane Berthé, secrétaire général de l'Association des compagnies aériennes africaines (Afraa), le patron du ciel africain, explique pourquoi. RFI : Quel a été l'impact de la guerre au Moyen-Orient sur le trafic aérien en Afrique ? Abderrahmane Berthé : L'impact a été une baisse du trafic parce que beaucoup de compagnies ont revu leurs capacités sur beaucoup de routes. En raison de la hausse de carburant, qui a été de 150 % entre le début de la crise et début avril 2026. Oui, parce qu'en Afrique, le carburant d'aviation vient pour 70 % de la région du détroit d'Ormuz, c'est ça ? Exactement 40 % du kérosène passe par le détroit d'Ormuz. Et effectivement pour l'Afrique, 70 % par le détroit d'Ormuz. Et le prix du baril de carburant d'aviation a augmenté de combien depuis six mois ? Le prix du baril a augmenté de 150 % depuis le début de la crise, ce qui représente pour les compagnies aériennes un manque à gagner. C'est-à-dire qu'elles ont dû augmenter le prix de leurs billets d'avion au risque de perdre des clients ? Oui, exactement. Elles ont dû appliquer ce qu'on appelle les surcharges carburant pour compenser la hausse des prix du carburant. Mais ce n'est que partiel puisqu'elles ne pouvaient pas mettre toute l'augmentation du prix du carburant sur les prix des billets, ce qui aurait eu un impact assez négatif sur la demande. Donc, elles ont perdu de l'argent ? Clairement, elles ont perdu de l'argent en raison de cette crise. Elles continuent encore de perdre de l'argent. Et est-ce qu'elles ont dû fermer des liaisons aériennes ? Oui, certaines compagnies ont dû fermer des lignes aériennes sur le court courrier, ou en tout cas limiter le nombre de fréquences sur certaines destinations pour faire face à la crise. Alors quand on parle des compagnies, on pense à quoi ? On pense à Royal Air Maroc, à Ethiopian Airlines, à Mauritius ? Oui, toutes ces compagnies sont membres de l'Afraa et toutes ont été impactées par la crise du carburant. Il y a l'impact du prix du carburant, mais il y a aussi la disponibilité même du carburant sur certaines escales. Donc il y a eu des risques de pénurie sur certaines escales comme Addis-Abeba ou Nairobi par exemple. Et est-ce que certaines grandes compagnies africaines ont été fragilisées par ces derniers mois de crise ? Oui, elles ont été fragilisées. Je dirais qu'au début, la crise a été « positive » pour certaines compagnies qui ont des hubs, puisqu'il y a eu un transfert de trafic entre l'Afrique et l'Asie ou l'Europe sur les hubs africains comme Addis-Abeba et Nairobi. Mais ça n'a duré que trois ou quatre semaines. Après, en fait, les compagnies du Golfe ont repris leurs vols et les compagnies qui ont un réseau purement africain ont été très impactées dès le début de la crise. Et est-ce qu'il y a aujourd'hui des grandes compagnies aériennes du continent qui risquent de tomber en faillite ? Non, je ne pense pas, parce que les compagnies africaines ont quand même prouvé leur résilience, quand on pense à la crise du Covid. Donc je pense que c'est un moment difficile pour elles, mais ça ne va pas aboutir à des fermetures de compagnies aériennes. Alors aujourd'hui, au moment où l'on annonce la réouverture du détroit d'Ormuz, est-ce que vous êtes rassuré ? Oui, c'est une très, très bonne nouvelle. Et on a vu que depuis l'annonce en fait du cessez-le-feu, le prix du pétrole a déjà baissé de 15 %. Ceci dit, je ne pense pas qu'on aura un retour à la situation d'avant la crise, avant fin 2026. Donc on aura une reprise des approvisionnements progressivement, un réajustement des prix progressivement jusqu'à la fin de l'année. Donc ça veut dire que la crise va continuer plus ou moins à impacter les compagnies aériennes africaines. Et quelles leçons tirez-vous de cette crise du détroit d'Ormuz ? Est-ce que les compagnies africaines n'auraient pas intérêt à constituer des stocks plus importants de carburant d'aviation ? Oui, cette crise révèle une vulnérabilité énergétique des compagnies aériennes puisque la majorité du kérosène utilisé est importé hors d'Afrique. Et le paradoxe est que beaucoup de pays africains produisent du pétrole. Donc pour l'avenir, nous devons penser à mettre en place des raffineries sur le continent africain pour produire du Jet-A1 et aussi négocier des prix sur le long terme avec les raffineries sur trois ou cinq ans par exemple. Est-ce que les raffineries africaines existantes ont quand même pu approvisionner les compagnies africaines ? Oui, je pense à Aliko Dangote au Nigeria qui a pu approvisionner certaines compagnies aériennes. Et pour le futur, il y a des projets de création de raffineries en Afrique de l'Est par le groupe Dangote. Et au niveau de l'Afraa, nous avons engagé des discussions avec les institutions financières pour mettre en place une plateforme continentale pour l'approvisionnement en carburant du continent face à une nouvelle crise éventuelle.

A Light in the Pearl of the Indian Ocean: The Faith and Courage of Rosie Le Même One night, a young woman in Mauritius prayed — and her room filled with light. A voice told her to go to Europe. She went. What she found there would change not just her life, but an entire region. Rosie Le Même never set out to start a movement. She simply wanted to follow God with her whole heart. But her quiet courage sparked a faith that spread from a muddy riverbank baptism to churches across Mauritius, Madagascar, Rodrigues, and the Seychelles. One woman. One prayer. A legacy that's still growing.

Wavy Gravy is a 2014 film by Alex Duncan, duration 1 minute 10 seconds. This silent film was created from found and reworked video footage, depicting a sea of undulating forms with wave movements that track from the top of the screen to the bottom. It is not immediately clear what the multicoloured abstract mass is made from, its repetitive movement instead giving an almost sculptural quality. The scene is in fact an upside-down densely packed tsunami wave pool swimming experience, with bodies rising and falling, engaged with their own weightlessness and loss of self within the swell, exploring realities and artificialities of motion and perception. The proximity of something fun and something ominous occurs. Alex Duncan said: “I am fascinated by where and how we place ourselves in the world, what we react to as human beings and our relationship to materials, objects and situations. “What is real and what is imitating the real has always fascinated me, and how subjectively, we respond to something that is both, or rather, something that sits between these two diverging states”. Within the Glynn Vivian's collection, the companion work, Like Swimming, is an installation of cast concrete ‘life-saving flotation aids'. Their surfaces bitten into and scratched at, contrasting the levity of youth with the uncertainty of real life. Swansea-born, Alex Duncan graduated from Swansea Metropolitan University in 2007 and gained his master's degree from the Royal College of Art in London. Making work that intersects sculpture, drawing, video and installation, his work has been exhibited both in the UK, notably the Whitechapel Gallery, V&A, MOSTYN, Camden Arts Centre and Ferens Art Gallery; and internationally, including Milan, Italy; Bilbao, Santander; Spain and Mauritius.

Season one is a wrap. Before the podcast goes on break for the summer (or winter, depending on where you are in the world), I want to take a moment to recap our season together. We covered a lot of ground this season, from balancing motherhood in an always-on sales culture to exploring revenue resilience as a strategy. This season had many gems. Which was your favorite? While the podcast may be on break, I am not going anywhere! I will continue to write on Substack. There, I share insights on the intersection of business, life, and the ongoing adventure of relocating from the United States to Mauritius (five months in and still discovering things). If you are not subscribed yet, head over to follow along: iamdrnadia.substack.com Season two will return in August with new guests, fresh conversations, and the same commitment to having real conversations about sales culture.

Three more forgotten campaigns… The strange, sprawling, global war fought by British soldiers, sailors, marines and East India Company troops in places most people never associate with the redcoat at all. Today we are heading first to the River Plate, where Britain tries to break into Spanish South America through Montevideo and Buenos Aires with some courage, some skill, and quite a lot of  misplaced optimism Then we go to Mauritius, or Isle de France, a French base in the Indian Ocean where Napoleon's ships were making life deeply unpleasant for British trade. And finally, we end up in Java, where a British expeditionary force lands in the East Indies to take on a Dutch colony that had effectively become part of Napoleon's empire. Three campaigns. Three continents. Three very different stories.

The practice of healthcare is inherently powerful, and our patients are vulnerable to our power. Though power can be abused, the righteous use of power, for the benefit of the vulnerable, is profoundly Christlike. We will explore the lessons of power which help us understand our roles, including the fundamental nature of professionalism and key kingdom strategies of healthcare missions.

Is the Wall Street ETF narrative killing peer-to-peer Bitcoin adoption? Is Bitcoin failing if it only becomes a corporate store of value hoarded on Wall Street? Institutional demand and exchange-traded funds are not the end game for hyperbitcoinization. True freedom requires building an alternative economic system entirely outside legacy banking, proving that Bitcoin must function as everyday money to succeed.Uncle Rockstar Dev (@r0ckstardev) unpacks how open source software protects financial sovereignty. The cypherpunk history of BTCPay Server demonstrates how a non-custodial payment gateway allows anyone to host a node without asking permission. Relying on a centralized crypto payment processor intermediates your wealth, meaning you must self-host your infrastructure to enforce individual sovereignty.A thriving circular economy operates directly on the ground. From kids using the Lightning Network to buy choco bananas in El Zonte to alternative networks expanding across Africa and Indonesia, communities are establishing localized ecosystems. These regions completely bypass legacy structures, choosing instead to settle daily medium of exchange transactions directly in Satoshis.Documenting this global shift requires a dedicated grassroots movement of creators who reject mainstream financial media. Independent documentarians Zack Dorsey (@zackdorseyx)  and Brandon Martin (@elbrandonmartin) share their proof of work traveling from Central America to Mauritius to capture peer to peer adoption. Capturing these alternative networks on camera is vital to countering corporate narratives and demonstrating how local financial inclusion scales from the bottom up.This decentralized evolution dismantles the broken, top-down corporate NGO model. Instead of creating loops of financial dependency, the leaders meeting at the Zonte Economic Forum are connecting their localized circles to build global network synergy.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss how, after the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1833, sugar planters recruited workers from India to replace or compete with their formerly enslaved labourers. Over the next 90 years, more than a million people in India travelled under five year contracts of indenture across the empire from Guyana to Trinidad to Mauritius and Fiji and colonies in between. These indentured labourers were to share vivid accounts of deception and abuse, especially in the early decades. From the outset there were critics and opposition gained pace with Gandhi and others in South Africa arguing the system was close to slavery and calling for the Indian government to stop the practice, which was to happen in 1917 with the last shipments of people in the 1920s. Meanwhile, rather than return after their contracts, a section of indentured labourers stayed where they were for their own reasons, negotiating their new identities alongside formerly enslaved people and the planter culture in a new Indian diaspora.With Purba Hossain Lecturer in Modern History at the University of YorkNeha Hui Associate Professor in Economics at the University of ReadingAnd Clem Seecharan Emeritus Professor of History at London Metropolitan UniversityProduced by Simon TillotsonReading list:Gaiutra Bahadur, Coolie Woman: The Odyssey of Indenture (Hurst and Co., 2013)Marina Carter, Servants, Sirdars and Settlers: Indians in Mauritius, 1834-1874 (Oxford University Press, 1995)Marina Carter and Khal Torabully, Coolitude: An Anthology of the Indian Labour Diaspora (Anthem Press, 2002)Jonathan Connolly, Worthy of Freedom: Indenture and Free Labor in the Era of Emancipation (University of Chicago Press, 2024)Maria del Pilar Kaladeen and David Dabydeen (eds.), The Other Windrush: Legacies of Indenture in Britain's Caribbean Empire (Pluto Books, 2021)Neha Hui and Uma S.

In a world marked by increasingly destructive ecological and meteorological upheavals, Cyclonic Lives in an Indian Ocean World: Environment, Disaster, and Identity in Modern Mauritius (Ohio UP, 2026) by Dr. Robert Rouphail offers a historical analysis of how these catastrophes shape people's understanding of themselves, their collective history, and their relationship to the institutions that govern them. An examination of cyclonic disasters in the multiethnic Indian Ocean island of Mauritius throws into stark relief how deep histories of diasporic identity formation, of imperial governance, and of the informal practices of racial difference making graft onto how everyday people interpret these moments of loss and the futures that emerge in their wake.Cyclonic Lives shows that disasters are not only events; they are also processes through which people evaluate and rethink the most elemental social and cultural categories that give meaning to their lives. Beginning in the late nineteenth century and continuing until the early postcolonial era, this book tracks, for example, how Mauritians of African descent integrated these disasters into broader collective histories and memories of the Indian Ocean slave trade, how Hindu Indo-Mauritians understood cyclones' ecological effects as material elements to be accounted for in a broader Hindu diasporic space, and how the late colonial and early postcolonial state built infrastructures—material, conceptual, and financial—to mitigate the threats posed by these storms and ensure their own long-term durability.The increasing political, social, and economic instability that climate change has already triggered demands that humanists develop analytical geographies and methodologies that shed light on how power can modulate in asymmetrical ways at moments of crisis. If there is one central takeaway from this historical study of this small island in a big ocean, it is that catastrophic events are not things that merely happen to people; they are processes that remake them. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Beginning in the late nineteenth century and continuing until the early postcolonial era, this book tracks, for example, how Mauritians of African descent integrated these disasters into broader collective histories and memories of the Indian Ocean slave trade, how Hindu Indo-Mauritians understood cyclones' ecological effects as material elements to be accounted for in a broader Hindu diasporic space, and how the late colonial and early postcolonial state built infrastructures—material, conceptual, and financial—to mitigate the threats posed by these storms and ensure their own long-term durability.The increasing political, social, and economic instability that climate change has already triggered demands that humanists develop analytical geographies and methodologies that shed light on how power can modulate in asymmetrical ways at moments of crisis. If there is one central takeaway from this historical study of this small island in a big ocean, it is that catastrophic events are not things that merely happen to people; they are processes that remake them. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

They're all at it: Jack Aubrey summons his resilience, Tom Pullings summons himself, and fate summons a familiar captain back to the waters off Mauritius.  We're going to have cat-and-mouse pursuits, false dawns, anti-climaxes and yet another blood-soaked action at sea, with a hidden clue as to the fate awaiting one of our main characters.

An island nation only one-third the size of Virginia, Taiwan produces more than 90 percent of the world's most advanced chips and more than 90 percent of the servers powering the AI revolution. And last year, Taiwan became the United States' fourth-largest trading partner—after Mexico, Canada, and China.More than one-fifth of global maritime trade goes through the Taiwan Strait, according to a Center for Strategic and International Studies analysis, and any conflict over Taiwan would be devastating for the global economy—and likely far worse than the economic disruptions caused by the Iran War.Chinese leader Xi Jinping has told the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to be ready for a successful Taiwan invasion by 2027, the PLA's 100th anniversary.In this episode, I sit down with Taiwan's representative to the United States, Ambassador Alexander Yui, to understand why Taiwan matters and what's at stake as the Chinese Communist Party has ramped up its campaign to isolate, intimidate, and encircle Taiwan in recent years.Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te's recent visit to Eswatini—Taiwan's only African ally—had to be abruptly postponed when Seychelles, Madagascar, and Mauritius revoked overflight permissions—presumably due to pressure from Beijing.“They are constantly harassing our naval and air surroundings, trying to create panic and uneasiness,” Yui says.Since 2013, Beijing has built more than two dozen militarized outposts in disputed waters in the South China Sea and has recently been militarizing yet another artificial island known as Antelope Reef.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 4-23-261902 DELONGPRE GARDENHere are your formatted segments:1. Guest: Anatol Lieven. Lieven discusses the Middle East crisis, noting Russia benefits from rising oil prices while China fears global economic instability. Future concerns include potential US retaliation against Europe regarding Ukraine aid and Greenland, alongside upcoming tariff negotiations between President Trump and Xi Jinping in Beijing. 12. Guest: Anatol Lieven. Lieven analyzes UK politics, characterizing Prime Minister Keir Starmer as a "dead man walking" due to record low popularity and scandals involving Lord Mandelson. Regarding Ukraine, he suggests they are achieving a qualified victory by holding the line, though long-term survival is threatened by manpower and funding shortages. 23. Guest: Grant Newsham. Retired Marine Colonel Newsham explains Japan's participation in the Balikatan combat exercises in the Philippines. This shift toward active military training under Prime Minister Takayichi aims to counter Chinese aggression. Beijing strongly opposes this enhanced US-Japan defense link, fearing its combined strategic capabilities. 34. Guest: Titus Techera. Techera reviews Project Hail Mary, calling it a family-oriented film celebrating space exploration and "manly professionalism". However, he highlights Hollywood's decline as streaming and private gaming erode the shared cinematic experience. He notes that traditional "boys' fantasies" have largely defected to digital platforms. 45. Guest: Evan Ellis. Ellis examines Peru's political turmoil surrounding a multi-billion dollar F-16 deal. An interim leftist government attempted to delay payments, potentially seeking Russian or Chinese alternatives. Despite the resignation of two key ministers in protest, the deal currently appears to be moving forward. 56. Guest: Evan Ellis. Ellis details spillover violence in Trinidad and Tobago, where drug flows and gangs necessitated a state of emergency. He addresses Venezuela's opposition leader Maria Corina Machado's delayed return to the country. Additionally, he discusses El Salvador's controversial mass trial of 486 alleged gang members. 67. Guest: Evan Ellis. Ellis discusses a suspicious car crash in Chihuahua, Mexico, that killed four officials, including two CIA personnel. He also covers a diplomatic rift between the US and Brazil involving mutual expulsions of police liaisons, sparked by tensions over former President Bolsonaro and the 2022 election. 78. Guest: Evan Ellis. Ellis reports Panama is seeing increased canal revenue due to Middle East instability, but faces Chinese retaliation for revoking a port concession. China is using economic leverage to punish Panama, pressuring major shipping companies and harassing Panamanian-flagged vessels to discourage resistance to its presence. 89. Guest: Eric Cline. Archaeologist Cline discusses the Amarna letters, focusing on the prolific correspondence of Rib-Hadda of Byblos. He characterizes these ancient conflicts as proxy wars between the Hittites and Egyptians. Cline notes that the regional dynamics of 3,400 years ago strikingly mirror contemporary Middle Eastern geopolitical struggles. 910. Guest: Eric Cline. Cline explores the letters of Abdi-Heba, the ruler of Jerusalem, who balanced local conflicts while appealing to the Egyptian Pharaoh for military aid. The correspondence reveals a world of backstabbing vassal politics and frequent requests for gold, which Egypt occasionally sent as gilded wood. 1011. Guest: Eric Cline. Using social network analysis, Cline maps connections between Bronze Age rulers, identifying messengers as critical "power brokers". He notes the difficulty of identifying specific Pharaohs in the letters. Finally, he discusses the archaeological significance of Byblos and the need for future excavations once regional peace allows. 1112. Guest: Eric Cline. Cline discusses the 1177 BC collapse of the globalized Late Bronze Age network due to drought, famine, and invasions. He emphasizes modern lessons from this collapse, including the need for innovation, resilience, and multiple backup plans to ensure societal survival when complex systems inevitably fail. 1213. Guest: Craig Unger. Unger argues Vladimir Putin is the primary beneficiary of the Middle East conflict as rising oil prices bolster Russia's economy. He describes Donald Trump as a Russian "asset" whose interests align with Putin's. Additionally, he discusses Melania Trump's unusual press conference denying Jeffrey Epstein connections. 1314. Guest: Veronique de Rugy. De Rugy warns of a looming debt crisis, suggesting the US is passively choosing inflation over necessary spending cuts or tax hikes. She argues that fiscal credibility cannot be restored without reforming Medicare and Social Security, and recommends deregulating healthcare to increase supply and lower costs. 1415. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady. O'Grady criticizes the stalled transition to democracy in Venezuela, noting the Rodriguez siblings are "buying time" for their criminal regime. Despite the capture of Maduro, corrupt officials remain in power. She highlights the ongoing threat to opposition leader Maria Corina Machado and the lack of US focus. 1516. Guest: Cleo Paskal. Paskal reports on Super Typhoon Sinlaku's impact on US Pacific territories. She also discusses the fuel supply crisis in the Marshall Islands caused by the Strait of Hormuz closure. Finally, she details the withdrawal of a controversial UK deal to cede the strategic Chagos Islands to Mauritius. 16

Taiwan President Lai Ching-te was forced to cancel a scheduled visit to Eswatini this week after Mauritius, the Seychelles, and Madagascar revoked Lai's flight permits. Authorities in Taipei immediately accused Beijing of using economic coercion against these three countries, a narrative that was quickly picked up by the international media and conservative lawmakers in the U.S. There is no evidence supporting the claim of coercion or the reported threat that China would impose economic sanctions or revoke debt relief against these three countries. In fact, none of the African countries involved is in any kind of debt distress to China. Eric, Géraud, and Cobus discuss why it was likely the exercise of African agency, rather than any pressure from China, that prompted the decision to close off their airspace to Lai's plane.

This episode offers a different lens on leadership in a time of accelerating change.In this conversation, Mahan Tavakoli is interviewed by Vimi Appadoo and Akilesh Deerpalsingh, senior leaders working closely with CEOs and executive teams in Mauritius through their roles at Dale Carnegie Mauritius and Baker Tilly Mauritius. The discussion emerged as part of a broader set of conversations leading up to a C-suite dialogue with senior leaders in the region.The questions they explore will sound familiar to many leadership teams right now. Not because there is a lack of information or tools, but because there is more than ever. More inputs, more options, and more pressure to act.Which raises a different kind of challenge.How do you decide what actually matters now?Where do you focus when everything feels important?And how do you move forward when the environment keeps shifting?The conversation also touches on a deeper shift that many organizations are still working through. While much of the attention remains on growth and adoption of new technologies, there is a more fundamental question underneath it all.Not just how to grow.But whether value itself is moving.Rather than offering simple answers, this discussion surfaces the kinds of tensions, trade-offs, and decisions leaders are navigating in real time, especially as AI and broader uncertainty reshape how organizations think, operate, and lead.Actionable Takeaways• You'll hear why many leadership teams are not lacking ideas or tools, but are struggling to decide what actually deserves their focus• Hear how the question leaders are asking is quietly shifting, and why “how do we grow?” may no longer be the most useful starting point• You'll hear the tension between speed and alignment, and why moving faster can sometimes create more friction, not less• Hear how organizations are experimenting with AI, but still wrestling with what it means to change how they actually operate• You'll hear why adoption often stalls even when the technology is in place, and what leaders tend to underestimate about the people side of change• Hear how executives are navigating decisions when there is no clear “return to normal,” and why that mindset shift matters• You'll hear how peer-level conversations can surface different perspectives that don't emerge inside a single organization• Hear how leaders are thinking about focus, prioritization, and trade-offs in environments where everything feels urgentConnect and learn more:Baker Tilly Mauritius Dale Carnegie Mauritius Vimi Appadoo LinkedIn Akilesh Deerpalsingh LinkedIn For those interested, more details and registration for the C-suite leadership conversation in Mauritius on May 18, 2026 can be found here: https://bit.ly/3O7EnjwConnect with Mahan Tavakoli:Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website
