A special edition of People Fixing The World recorded in front of a live audience at the University of Nairobi as part of the BBC's Future of Journalism Festival.Cities around the world are growing fast - they are the most efficient way of supporting large numbers of people. But many of them suffer chronic problems. There is often a shortage of decent housing. Getting around can be impossible with polluting cars creating gridlock on the streets. And the amount of waste we create is piling up on the streets and in landfill. Myra Anubi meets the people who are making city life better for everyone. The architect who is building affordable, sustainable homes. The innovator making transport greener and more efficient. The engineer making something useful from all our plastic waste. And the planner trying to create a more human city.Guests: Constant Cap, Urban Planner, UNEP Christopher Maara, Founder, Kiri EV Etta Madete, Founder Shout Group and Zima Homes Lorna Rutto, Co-Founder, EcopostPresenter: Myra Anubi Producers: Richard Kenny, Claire Bates Editor: Jon Bithrey Live Sound: Martin Njuguna and BBC Nairobi engineering team Sound mix: Hal Haines(Image: Guests at the BBC Future of Journalism Festival, Nairobi)Programme recorded in front of a live audience at the University of Nairobi on Friday 10th July 2026.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina. Malengo ya Maendeleo Endelevu ya Umoja wa Mataifa (SDGs) yanatambua kuwa kuwawezesha vijana, kulinda mazingira na kuimarisha uhakika wa kupata chakula ni miongoni mwa nguzo muhimu za kujenga jamii zenye ustahimilivu na maendeleo endelevu. Kupitia malengo kama vile la Kutokomeza umaskini, kutokomeza njaa na hatua dhidi ya mabadiliko ya tabianchi , jamii zinahimizwa kuwekeza katika suluhisho zinazowawezesha wananchi kujitegemea huku zikihifadhi mazingira kwa vizazi vya sasa na vijavyo. Hatua hizo zinatekelezwa katika enoe la Kajiado Kaskazini, katika kaunti ya Kajiado, kusini mwa Kenya kama anavyosimulia Kelvin Keitany wa radio washirika, Domus Radio.Hii leo Umoja wa Mataifa umekuwa na matukio mbalimbali ya kuadhimisha siku ya Mandela, Rais wa kwanza mweusi wa taifa la Afrika Kusini kwa mchango wake wa utetezi wa haki. Miongoni mwa kulikofanyika maadhimisho hayo ni Nairobi, Kenya ambako Stella Vuzo wa Kituo cha Habari cha Umoja wa Mataifa alikuwa shuhuda wetu. Licha ya idadi ya magari duniani kuongezeka kwa zaidi ya bilioni moja, Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya Duniani WHO limesema vifo vinavyotokana na ajali za barabarani vimepungua kwa asilimia 21 kati ya mwaka 2011 na 2025. Hata hivyo, ajali hizo bado zilisababisha vifo vya zaidi ya watu milioni 1 mwaka jana na zinaendelea kuwa chanzo kikuu cha vifo kwa watoto na vijana wenye umri wa miaka 5 hadi 29Na, Je, msikilizaji wangu, uliwahi kujiuliza kwa nini binadamu bado wanarudi kuchunguza Mwezi ulioko anga za juu , zaidi ya miaka 50 baada ya kutua huko kwa mara ya kwanza? Leo Julai 20, dunia inaadhimisha Siku ya Kimataifa ya mwezi. Umoja wa Mataifa uliitenga siku hii kuenzi tukio la kihistoria la mwaka 1969, wakati wanaanga wa safari ya Apollo 11 walipoweka nyayo za kwanza za binadamu mwezini. Lakini maadhimisho haya hayaishii kwenye historia tu bali yanasisitiza pia umuhimu wa ushirikiano wa kimataifa katika utafiti wa anga za juu na kuhakikisha uchunguzi wa mwezi unafanyika kwa amani na kwa manufaa ya watu wote duniani.".Mwenyeji wako ni Assumpta Massoi, karibu!

Au Kenya, le kiswahili est désigné par la Constitution comme langue nationale. Il unifie les plus de 40 communautés du pays et il est enseigné à l'école. C'est donc naturellement qu'une littérature en kiswahili s'est constituée et enrichie dans le pays ces dernières décennies, même si les difficultés du secteur de l'édition limitent encore son développement.  De notre correspondante à Nairobi,  Chez Nuria, librairie du centre-ville de Nairobi, une section est dédiée à la littérature en kiswahili. Viviane Taura, libraire, présente quelques auteurs kényans : « Le premier est Kithaka wa Mberia. Il a écrit plusieurs ouvrages qui sont vraiment très captivants, comme Kifo Kisimani ou encore Doa… On trouve aussi Ken Walibora et son roman Kufa Kuzikana. Nous avons plein de livres ici ! » Malgré la compétition très forte avec les ouvrages en anglais, cette littérature trouve preneur. « Nous voyons principalement des parents qui viennent en acheter pour leurs enfants, poursuit la libraire, parce qu'ils veulent qu'ils se familiarisent avec des nouvelles en kiswahili. » Le genre connaît un essor marqué au Kenya depuis plusieurs décennies. « Il fut un temps, au début des années 1990, où les écrivains tanzaniens dominaient la scène, y compris au Kenya, explique Mwenda Mbatiah, professeur de littérature en kiswahili à l'université de Nairobi. Mais cela a changé. Les Kényans s'imposent désormais sur la scène littéraire kiswahili au Kenya. Cela s'explique en partie par la demande croissante de littérature en kiswahili dans notre système éducatif. » À lire aussiCréer en langues africaines: Nigeria, littérature en yoruba et roman fondateur de D.O. Fagunwa [1/5]   Des publications qui ciblent le marché scolaire Mais ce succès a son revers. « Nous avons des maisons d'édition prêtes à publier des ouvrages en kiswahili. Le seul problème, c'est qu'elles ciblent principalement le marché scolaire, regrette Mwenda Mbatiah. Mon inquiétude est que la lecture en swahili reste confinée au système éducatif. Il serait plus utile que le kiswahili puisse attirer des lecteurs au-delà. C'est ainsi que nous pourrons encourager les écrivains à être créatifs et innovants. » Selon lui, cette dépendance tend à orienter les thèmes abordés afin de répondre aux exigences des programmes scolaires. Pour autant, le professeur, lui-même auteur, ne s'inquiète pas pour l'avenir. « Il n'y a pas de pénurie d'écrivains en kiswahili, rassure-t-il. Des livres en kiswahili continueront à être écrits. D'ailleurs, la tradition orale de la littérature kiswahili est toujours vivante : des récits sont racontés, des poèmes sont déclamés à la radio et à la télévision. Et cela est très important pour le développement de la littérature. » La production en kiswahili se retrouve aussi parfois au théâtre : Kifo Kisimani de Kithaka wa Mberia a ainsi été rejouée en août 2025. Publiée en 2001, à la fin du régime autoritaire de Daniel arap Moi, la pièce met en scène, dans un royaume fictif, un jeune homme arrêté et torturé pour avoir défié un pouvoir oppressif.

C'est ce lundi 13 juillet que doit s'ouvrir en Ouganda le procès du docteur Kizza Besigye, 70 ans, qui est l'opposant historique au président Museveni. Pour sa défense, ses avocats ne vont pas manquer de rappeler qu'en novembre 2024, Kizza Besigye a été kidnappé au Kenya puis livré à l'Ouganda. Peut-on parler, comme notre invitée de ce matin, d'une « est-africanisation » de la répression ? Florence Brisset-Foucault est maîtresse de conférence en sciences politiques à l'Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne et chercheure à l'Institut des mondes africains. Elle répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Kizza Besigye encourt-il la peine de mort à l'issue de son procès ? Florence Brisset-Foucault : C'est ce qui est prévu dans le code pénal ougandais. En effet, la punition pour les crimes de trahison, c'est la peine de mort. Cependant, la peine de mort n'a pas été appliquée en Ouganda depuis une trentaine d'années, mais c'est ce qu'il risque officiellement. La seule chose rassurante pour lui, est-ce le fait qu'il ne passe pas devant un tribunal militaire ? Son cas avait été d'abord traité par un tribunal militaire, au moment de son arrestation en novembre 2024. Mais la situation a changé à partir de février 2025 et son cas est maintenant traité, de nouveau, devant des tribunaux civils. Il passe ainsi ce 13 juillet devant des juges civils. Exactement.  Il est accusé de sédition et de volonté de soulèvement contre l'État. Ces accusations sont-elles sérieuses ? Ce que l'on constate en Ouganda, c'est qu'il y a depuis des années une instrumentalisation du système judiciaire. Ce que disent ses avocats, c'est que c'est un exemple criant, encore une fois, d'instrumentalisation du système judiciaire, et que ce sont des accusations qui sont montées de toutes pièces. À voir… Mais, en tout cas, ce n'est pas la première fois qu'il est accusé de crimes de ce type devant les tribunaux et les autres procédures qui ont été lancées contre lui n'ont jamais abouti à quoi que ce soit de concret. Où Kizza Besigye trouve-t-il cette énergie, ce courage pour tenir tête à Yoweri Museveni, depuis 25 ans ? Ce qui est en effet très étonnant, intéressant, avec la figure de Kizza Besigye, c'est cette continuité de l'engagement, malgré ces coups de massue, à la fois judiciaires mais aussi coercitifs ; malgré ces attaques sur sa personne à plusieurs reprises lors d'épisodes de manifestations ; malgré cette période où il a été sous résidence surveillée, de manière extrêmement resserrée, dans la banlieue de Kampala. On se souvient notamment d'un épisode très spectaculaire où il avait été attaqué à bout portant par un membre des services secrets qui lui avait envoyé une dose de gaz lacrymogène, à bout portant, directement dans les yeux, ce qui fait qu'il a été hospitalisé pendant un certain temps au Kenya. C'est quelqu'un qui, à chaque fois, revenait. Il bénéficie d'une vraie assise et popularité dans les rues, du fait de cette position un peu sacrificielle qui le caractérise depuis 25 ans. À l'origine de ce procès, il y a l'arrestation de Kizza Besigye au Kenya, puis sa livraison à l'Ouganda, il y a presque deux ans. Pourquoi le président kényan William Ruto, qui a lui-même été longtemps un leader d'opposition, a-t-il trahi les combattants de la démocratie en Ouganda ? Effectivement, cela ne touche pas d'ailleurs que Kizza Besigye. Son épouse, Winnie Byanyima, qui s'exprimait dans la presse il y a quelques mois, avait qualifié Nairobi de « paradis des kidnappeurs ». Une formule extrêmement puissante, puisqu'elle désigne une sorte d'ensemble. Cela touche toute l'Afrique de l'Est, et évidemment aussi la Tanzanie, avec depuis l'année dernière les événements absolument tragiques qui se sont déroulés dans le contexte de la dernière élection présidentielle [plusieurs centaines de Tanzaniens avaient été tués durant la répression de manifestations post-électorales, NDLR]. Cette « est-africanisation » de la répression en Tanzanie rappelle des années très sombres, celle ses années 1970, années de dictature militaire en Ouganda pendant lesquelles des militants et exilés ougandais pouvaient aussi se faire kidnapper au Kenya et être ramenés de force en Ouganda.  Pensez-vous que ce procès à Kampala va être suivi par la communauté internationale et que cela pourra peut-être protéger, un peu, Kizza Besigye ? Je pense qu'il sera suivi. Après, est-ce que la communauté internationale et ses différentes incarnations vont se manifester ? Et, si oui, comment ? C'est une autre question. L'Ouganda est une clé de voûte du système sécuritaire international dans la région de l'Afrique des Grands Lacs et de l'Afrique de l'Est. Évidemment, la communauté internationale et la communauté diplomatique sont extrêmement prudentes dans la manière dont elles s'adressent au régime. Elles suivent sans aucun doute. À voir comment elles se manifestent. On a vu, il y a quelques jours, le chef de la commission des Affaires étrangères du Sénat aux États-Unis remettre en cause le partenariat militaire avec l'Ouganda. Cela a fait couler un petit peu d'encre. On sait que la communauté internationale regarde, mais comment va-t-elle réagir ? Est-ce que les autorités ougandaises vont être perméables à ces pressions internationales ? C'est autre chose. Est-ce que c'est cette intervention de la commission des Affaires étrangères du Sénat américain fait suite au lobbying anti-Museveni que pratique aux États-Unis, depuis quelques mois, l'autre grand opposant Ougandais, Bobi Wine, qui a officiellement perdu la présidentielle de janvier dernier ? On sait que Bobby Wine essaie d'activer des leviers pour faire connaître la situation dans son pays. En tout cas, c'est sur cette scène internationale qu'il a choisi de poursuivre le combat depuis sa fuite, suite à la répression violente dont il a été l'objet après l'élection de janvier 2026. Faut-il donc s'attendre à des années très difficiles pour la démocratie ougandaise ? Je ne suis pas du tout optimiste. Je suis même très inquiète sur ce qu'il va se passer. Je pense que tous les observateurs et personnes qui sont attachés au respect des libertés fondamentales le sont.

What's all the fuss about, the gang is back together. G and Andy talk about their Summertides experience and we chop it up about trash in Nairobi, actual trash!

Depuis la tenue du sommet du G7 à Evian entre le 15 et le 17 juin dernier auquel le président français Emmanuel Macron n'a pas invité son homologue sud-africain, un irritant s'est immiscé dans les relations franco-sud-africaines. Alors que Cyril Ramaphosa est en visite officielle à Paris ce vendredi 10 juillet, les deux dirigeants vont-ils en parler ? Quels sont par ailleurs les autres enjeux de ce déplacement ? Chercheuse à International Crisis Group, la Sud-Africaine Liesl Louw répond pour l'occasion aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Est-ce que les relations franco-sud-africaines se sont distendues depuis qu'Emmanuel Macron a oublié d'inviter Cyril Ramaphosa au dernier G7, à Evian, en France ? Liesl Louw : Oui, il y avait des tensions, c'est sûr, parce qu'initialement, apparemment, Ramaphosa a reçu une invitation pour assister au G7, mais il a été désinvité, ou comme vous avez dit, on a oublié de l'inviter au dernier moment. Donc Ramaphosa aussi n'est pas allé au sommet de Nairobi, le Africa Forward du mois de mai dernier. Donc il y avait ces deux rendez-vous et je pense que l'Afrique du Sud est déçue par cette situation. Mais on a compris que la pression du président Trump, qui menaçait de ne pas venir à Evian, si Ramaphosa assistait à cette réunion, était principalement la cause de cette situation par le fait que Ramaphosa finalement n'a pas été invité pour venir au G7. Vu la proximité stratégique entre la France et les États-Unis, on l'a encore vu cette semaine à Ankara lors du sommet de l'Otan, quel est l'intérêt pour Cyril Ramaphosa de venir en France ? Oui, il y a beaucoup d'intérêts. D'abord économique, pour attirer des investissements. Le plus grand problème aujourd'hui pour Ramaphosa, c'est le manque de croissance économique. L'Afrique du Sud n'attire pas d'investissements étrangers, mais il y a des sociétés françaises implantées en Afrique du Sud et l'Afrique du Sud aimerait bien augmenter ces investissements et le commerce entre les deux pays. On fait face à des graves problèmes de chômage. Ça aussi, c'est une des causes de ces graves émeutes et des manifestations xénophobes en Afrique du Sud. Donc, Ramaphosa veut montrer que, malgré ces tensions géopolitiques, l'Afrique du Sud reste un pays important sur le plan international et africain, même si les relations entre l'Afrique du Sud et le reste du continent passent un très mauvais moment actuellement. Malgré l'attaque de l'Ukraine par la Russie en 2022, l'Afrique du Sud maintient son alliance stratégique avec Moscou. Est-ce que ce n'est pas un sérieux point de divergence entre l'Afrique du Sud et la France ? Est-ce que ça ne va pas finir par fragiliser les relations entre les deux pays ? Oui, c'est vrai que, depuis l'invasion de l'Ukraine en 2022, l'Afrique du Sud a été très critiquée par les pays européens pour sa position. Surtout certains individus au sein de l'ANC [le parti au pouvoir, NDLR] qui sont ouvertement pro-russes. L'Afrique du Sud aussi a présidé un sommet des Brics où la Russie joue un rôle important. Mais je pense que c'est ça qui fait que l'Afrique du Sud est un peu au cœur de ce jeu géopolitique. Parce que d'un côté, certains sont vus comme pro-russes, mais en même temps, le président Ramaphosa est très ouvert aux Occidentaux. L'Afrique du Sud a quand même montré une position non alignée, neutre quelque part dans ce jeu géopolitique. Je pense que ce sentiment pro-russe a un peu diminué avec le temps depuis 2022. Les relations avec l'Europe se sont améliorées depuis. Depuis un mois, le gouvernement sud-africain est accusé par plusieurs autres gouvernements africains, notamment ceux du Nigeria et du Ghana, de fermer les yeux sur les graves violences xénophobes en Afrique du Sud. En allant à Paris, est-ce que Cyril Ramaphosa vient aussi rompre un certain isolement diplomatique ? Oui, absolument, l'Afrique du Sud et son image sur le continent souffrent énormément de ces violences xénophobes. Ramaphosa, lui-même, je pense, n'a pas su être à la hauteur pour dénoncer ces manifestations, mais pas uniquement les manifestations, la violence contre les étrangers africains en Afrique du Sud. En ce qui concerne son isolement diplomatique, c'est très intéressant de voir l'Afrique du Sud renouer des liens avec des pays comme le Rwanda où, depuis très longtemps, l'Afrique du Sud n'avait pas eu de bonnes relations. Le ministre des Affaires étrangères rwandais était en Afrique du Sud pour la première fois en visite officielle depuis douze ans. Et du fait de cet isolement diplomatique, est-ce que le business en souffre ? Est-ce qu'il y a moins d'investissements en Afrique du Sud ? Je pense que, pour le moment, on ne sent pas encore ça. Le manque d'investissement en Afrique du Sud, depuis très longtemps, est lié à d'autres facteurs, notamment les problèmes d'infrastructures et d'approvisionnement en électricité. Là où on peut voir peut-être à l'avenir un problème économique lié à ces violences xénophobes, c'est pour les entreprises sud-africaines implantées sur le continent, comme le groupe de télécom MTN par exemple au Nigeria, qui est parfois mis en difficulté par le gouvernement nigérian à cause de ce qu'il se passe en Afrique du Sud et des violences xénophobes.

As Biophilic Design continues to gather momentum around the world, much of the conversation has centred on research emerging from Europe, North America and Australia. Yet one of the most powerful perspectives may come from a continent where living with nature has never been considered a design trend at all.For Wangui Mwangi, Founding Chair of the Green Biophilic Living Society and Convener of the Africa Biophilic Building Conference & Expo 2026, biophilia is less about innovation than remembering. "Africa has always lived biophilically. Our ancestors have always lived biophilically."Wangui believes the rest of the world has much to learn from centuries of indigenous knowledge, vernacular architecture and cultural traditions that have always recognised humanity as part of nature rather than separate from it.Speaking on the Journal of Biophilic Design podcast, she describes traditional African settlements where buildings were constructed using local materials, courtyards encouraged natural ventilation, communities lived outdoors, and architecture reflected both ecological intelligence and spiritual connection. "Nature was never separate from humanity," she explains. "Nature was part of everything that we did." That philosophy extended far beyond buildings. Food, farming, storytelling, music, clothing and community life all reinforced a reciprocal relationship with the natural world. Today, as cities across Africa expand rapidly, Wangui believes those principles are becoming more important than ever. Remembering rather than reinventingOne of the most refreshing aspects of Wangui's work is her refusal to romanticise the past."This is not about necessarily going back to building how we built in the 20s," she says. "It's about picking the techniques. It's about using the tech that we have right now and enhancing that."This blend of indigenous wisdom with contemporary innovation sits at the heart of the Green Biophilic Living Society, an organisation that has grown remarkably quickly since Wangui first began sharing her passion for biophilia on LinkedIn. After growing up surrounded by wildlife on the outskirts of Nairobi, Wangui found herself working within increasingly urban environments. She noticed she felt calmer whenever she escaped into nearby green spaces during lunch breaks. "I started Googling what is going on? Why are my afternoons better?" Discovering the science of biophilia gave language to feelings she had always understood instinctively. "I became completely passionate, obsessively passionate about wanting to share this information." That passion has now brought together architects, doctors, farmers, lawyers, policymakers, educators and developers, all recognising that healthier futures require systems thinking rather than isolated solutions. This resonates so closely with our journey here at the Journal of Biophilic Design as well. My own personal journey was linked to direct emotional and physical transformation after connecting with nature. Why policy mattersThroughout our conversation, one theme repeatedly emerged: policy. We agreed we need to embed biophilic thinking into national building standards. "I think biophilia needs anchorage within the policy structure, within the building codes." Kenya is already making significant progress through the development of its own green building standards, where considerations such as indigenous planting, bioswales, pollinator habitats, bird feeders and water management are becoming part of mainstream conversations.This mirrors a growing international recognition that Biophilic Design is a framework capable of supporting biodiversity, climate resilience, public health and long-term economic value simultaneously.Community is infrastructurePerhaps the most moving part of our discussion came when imagining Africa twenty years from now. Rather than talking first about technology or buildings, Wangui spoke about people. She imagines neighbourhoods where courtyards encourage neighbours to gather, where children play outdoors, where communities share meals together, and where buildings function as ecosystems rather than isolated objects."I see people walking with a sense of pride and a sense of dignity... people who wake up to the sound of birds."Her vision reminds us that Biophilic Design is about relationships, between people, place and nature. Women leading the conversationOne particularly exciting development this year is the launch of Women in Biophilic Design, bringing together female leaders from across the world to discuss the future of our profession. Wangui will be joining us alongside an international panel of designers, researchers and practitioners exploring how diverse perspectives are helping shape healthier places.Reflecting on why women have become such strong voices within the movement, Wangui believes it stems from an instinctive understanding of care and stewardship. "I think the nurturing aspect of women really flows into any space that we get to hold. And that is what the world needs right now."It is a reminder that designing with nature is also about designing with empathy. Looking aheadThe inaugural Africa Biophilic Building Conference & Expo, taking place in Nairobi this August, promises to become a significant milestone in the global movement. Bringing together architects, policymakers, educators and researchers, it aims to demonstrate that Africa is not simply adopting Biophilic Design—it is helping redefine it.As Wangui says, there are still countless stories waiting to be told."The African story has not yet really been told... there's so much that has not been tapped into."The future heartbeat of Biophilic Design depends on learning from diverse cultures and ecological wisdom, I hope you join us on the 20th July for the Women in Biophilic Desing Linkedin Live, and also if you are in the African Continent of have colleagues over there, you join the Africa Biophilic Building Conference and Expo.

How does a tech internship at a community centre in Kenya lead to one of the highest honours in the Salesforce ecosystem?   In this episode of our Golden Hoodie Winners series, I sit down with Alimali Stephens, Salesforce Senior Developer, community leader, and Salesforce Golden Hoodie recipient. Alimali shares an inspiring story that began with a desire to give back to his local community and led to an unforgettable moment on the Dreamforce stage.   His journey reminds us that opportunities often arrive when we're focused on helping others rather than chasing recognition.  Where It All Began  Alimali takes us back to his early days at the Karibu Centre in Kenya, where he joined as an intern supporting programmes for mothers, children, and the wider community.   It was there that he was first introduced to Salesforce through a volunteer programme. Rather than simply learning a new platform, he became part of a project that transformed how the organisation measured its impact, automated manual processes, and better supported the families it served.  That first experience with Salesforce would shape the rest of his career.  An Unforgettable Dreamforce Moment  One day, his director called him into the office with an unexpected question. How comfortable was he speaking in front of a large audience?  Soon afterwards, Alimali discovered he had been invited to present on the Dreamforce Admin Keynote. It would be his first visit outside Africa, his first trip to the United States, and, as it turned out, the day he received a surprise Salesforce Golden Hoodie.  To make the moment even more memorable, it all happened on his birthday.   Building A Career While Building A Community  Since receiving his Golden Hoodie, Alimali has continued to grow professionally, progressing from Salesforce Administrator to consultant and now Senior Salesforce Developer.   Alongside his day job, he has remained committed to community leadership. As a Salesforce Community Leader in Nairobi and a technology lead with Africa Ohana, he spends his time mentoring aspiring professionals, organising events, and helping others discover opportunities within the Salesforce ecosystem.  His belief is simple. The more people we help today, the stronger the community becomes tomorrow.  Why Community Changes Careers  Throughout our conversation, Alimali explains how discovering the Salesforce community transformed his own learning journey.  Early in his career, he often found himself solving problems alone because he didn't know there were other Salesforce professionals nearby who could help. Today, he works to ensure new Trailblazers never have that same experience.  It's a powerful reminder that asking questions, sharing knowledge, and supporting one another often accelerates everyone's growth.  AI Through The Eyes Of A Salesforce Developer  We also discuss how AI is changing the role of Salesforce developers.   Rather than seeing AI as a threat, Alimali views it as a practical tool that helps developers solve problems faster, reduce repetitive work, and deliver better solutions for customers. He shares examples of building AI-powered Salesforce solutions and explains why learning to work alongside AI will become an increasingly valuable skill.  What part of Alimali's journey inspired you the most, and how could giving back to your own community shape your career in ways you never expected?  About Supermums  Founded by Heather Black, a Salesforce Golden Hoodie winner, Supermums helps relaunchers and seasoned Salesforce professionals accelerate their careers in tech through expert training, career coaching and recruitment support.  Whether someone is returning to work, pivoting into a new role, or ready to step up in the Salesforce ecosystem, Supermums provides practical training, mentoring and access to job opportunities to help them build confidence, sharpen their skills and progress faster.  Alongside its career development programmes, Supermums partners with employers to connect them with talented Salesforce professionals who are ready to make an impact.

Last year Kenya's President William Ruto established a task force to investigate the escalating cases of gender-based violence including femicide. The task force travelled around the country gathering information and at the beginning of this year published its recommendations, which are now being debated in parliament. One of those recommendations is the legal recognition of femicide as a standalone crime. UN Women, the United Nations agency which promotes the empowerment and rights of girls and women, have been working with grassroots organisations in Kenya on male engagement strategies, to change perceptions of the role of men and women. But the UN Women's representative in Kenya, acknowledges that challenges remain. In the meantime, women continue to march in protest and the country waits to see if President Ruto will implement the task force recommendations. So, is Kenya serious about ending femicide?Contributors Shyleen Momanyi, executive director, Young Women's Leadership Institute, Nairobi, Kenya Dr Nancy Baraza, former deputy chief justice of the Republic of Kenya, senior law lecturer, University of Nairobi, chairperson of the technical working group on gender-based violence including femicide, Kenya Consuelo Corradi, professor of sociology, Lumsa University, Rome, Italy Antonia Sodonon, UN Women country representative, Kenya Presenter: Charmaine Cozier Producer: Jill Collins Researcher: Evie Yabsley Editor: Tom Bigwood Technical producer: Toby James Production management: Phoebe Lomas and Liam Morrey(Photo: Protesters attend a rally in Nairobi demanding an end to femicide, 27 January, 2024.

In this episode we are joined by one of the most hilarious media personalities, Laura Mbatha, as we talk about everything happening in Nairobi. Enjoy!

Anti-immigrant protests in South Africa have raised difficult questions about race, class, and who gets targeted during waves of xenophobic anger. While Black African migrants have faced growing hostility, Chinese migrants and other foreign communities have largely avoided the same scrutiny. This week, Eric, Cobus, and Géraud examine why that is, and what it reveals about poverty, politics, and state dysfunction in South Africa. They also unpack a new set of China-South Africa trade protocols that could quietly expand bilateral trade, especially as Pretoria's relationship with Washington becomes more strained. Finally, they reflect on recent conversations in Nairobi, South Africa, Beijing, and New York about China, Africa, and the Global South's place in a rapidly changing world order.

Barrages, jets de pierres et perturbations répétées affectent le quotidien et la scolarité de milliers d'élèves mahorais. Les transports régulièrement ralentis et pris à partie obligent les familles, les chauffeurs et les différents acteurs à s'adapter au quotidien. Ces épisodes de violence ne se limitent pas uniquement aux trajets, mais touchent aussi les alentours des établissements. En avril 2026, à Dzoumogné, au nord du territoire, plusieurs incidents ont eu lieu autour d'un lycée.   Au total, 241 caillassages de bus ont été recensés à Mayotte entre septembre 2025 et janvier 2026 selon Transdev, le groupe de transport scolaire. Les conséquences sont autant physiques et matérielles que psychologiques, sociales et économiques.  Derrière ce phénomène, souvent méconnu, se cachent des réalités plus profondes, entre l'insécurité des élèves et la question de l'éducation dans le département le plus jeune de France, où 60 % de la population à moins de 25 ans. Alors que plus de 15 000 enfants de 3 à 15 ans n'étaient pas scolarisés à la rentrée 2025 selon l'Observatoire de la non-scolarisation à Mayotte, quel avenir pour la jeunesse mahoraise ? Comment assurer la continuité du système scolaire quand aller à l'école devient risqué ? Avec : Aniel DJIMI, étudiant en aviation à Arras, dans le nord de la France.

A report by the rights group Amnesty International has further allegations of atrocities carried out by the Rapid Support Forces when they seized the city of El Fasher last October. The RSF has admitted abuses - but says they've been exaggerated. Also: China introduces a new law to promote ethnic harmony - but will it? Venezuelans want more equipment to search for the missing following two earthquakes last week. The Japanese yen falls to its lowest level against the US dollar in 40 years. And football players from the Netherlands have experienced racist abuse for failing to win a penalty shoot-out against Morocco.

Every month, tens of thousands of Russian soldiers are killed or wounded on the front lines. But Vladimir Putin has so far resisted a full-scale mass mobilization that would force large numbers of ordinary Russians into uniform — a move that could prove politically costly at home. So Russia is looking elsewhere for manpower. That includes Africa. In recent months, reports have emerged of African nationals being recruited to fight for Russia in Ukraine. Some go knowingly. But many others appear to have been lured under false pretenses, promised civilian jobs in Russia as truck drivers, security guards, or other workers — only to find themselves routed into military training camps and then sent to the front lines. My guest today, Guyo Chepe Turi, has been investigating how this recruitment pipeline works. He is a research officer with the Institute for Security Studies in Nairobi, where he focuses on East Africa peace, security, and governance. In a recent article, he examined how recruitment networks are targeting young Africans, including in Kenya, and sending them into Russia's war effort. According to Guyo, Ukraine estimates that there are nearly 3,000 fighters from at least 36 African countries now involved in Russia's war. The countries affected include Kenya, Ghana, Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Cameroon, and others. The true number may be higher, because many of these cases go undocumented.

The company is now around $1.5bn in annual revenue, with 150,000 members across 11 states. Tommy Stadlen talks to her about her giant idea, value-based care: why she thinks paying doctors for procedures instead of real outcomes is the root of America's healthcare crisis, why the patients who need care most are the least likely to walk into a clinic, and why she believes AI poured onto the wrong business model will do real damage.She speaks about:Why "value-based care" is the worst brand for one of the biggest ideas in healthcareThe first Cityblock patient, an elderly, partially blind man living in a Brooklyn basementWhy fee-for-service ends up paying more for the amputation than for keeping someone safe at homeThe ~140 million Americans on Medicaid and Medicare, and the market everyone missedHow AI is pushing the marginal cost of a patient interaction close to zeroWhy most healthcare AI dollars are making the system more expensive, not betterGrowing up in Nairobi during the AIDS epidemic, and the UN moment that outraged her and still drives herNHS vs US healthcare - and the one-line answer to which she'd choose...Building a purpose driven company?

In this episode, Professor Sahar Aziz is in conversation with award winning journalist Isma'il Kuskush about the complex origins, multiple domestic and foreign actors, and human rights crisis of Sudan's war. The ongoing power struggle between rival military elites is rooted in decades of militarization, failed democratic transition, and unresolved ethnic conflict. Its humanitarian consequences—mass displacement, famine risk, and widespread atrocities—have elevated it into one of the most severe human rights crises globally.The current war in Sudan began in April 2023, when fighting erupted between two factions of the country's security forces: the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The immediate trigger was a dispute over integrating the RSF into the national army as part of a planned transition to civilian rule after years of military dominance. A critical turning point occurred in 2019, when longtime dictator Omar al-Bashir was overthrown. A fragile civilian–military transition followed, but in October 2021, the SAF and RSF jointly staged a coup that derailed democratic reforms. Tensions between the two leaders then escalated into open conflict as both sought control over the state, economic resources (especially gold), and the future political system.The devastating war in Sudan has produced what many international organizations describe as the world's largest humanitarian crisis. Millions of civilians have been displaced, and basic infrastructure—healthcare, food distribution, and education—has collapsed in many regions.BiographyIsma'il Kushkush is a Sudanese-American journalist who was based in Khartoum, Sudan, for eight years, where he contributed to The New York Times, CNN, Voice of America and Al Jazeera English. For two three-month periods in 2014 and again in 2015, he was acting bureau chief for The New York Times in East Africa based in Nairobi. He has covered political, economic, social and cultural stories from Sudan, South Sudan, Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Burundi, Sweden and the United States. He has also worked as a fixer, translator and interpreter. Kushkush grew up in the United States, Sudan, Syria and Kuwait. He received a master of arts degree in journalism from Columbia Journalism School in New York with a focus on politics and global affairs. He is a fluent Arabic-speaker.Recommended ReadingsIsma'il Kushkush,Leaving Khartoum(The New York Review 2025)Isma'il Kuskkush,Sudan's Journalists Risk Everything to Cover a War the World Ignores(Neiman Reports 2026)Isma'il Kushkush,Sudan's Uprising, Bashir's Fall, and My Father's Passing(The New Yorker 2019)#Sudan #HumanRights #Khartoum #CivilWar #UAE #EgyptSupport the showSupport the Center for Security, Race and Rights by following us and making a donation:Donate: https://give.rutgersfoundation.org/csrr-support/20046.html Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEbUfYcWGZapBNYvCObiCpp3qtxgH_jFy Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rucsrr Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Threads: https://threads.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/rucsrr Follow us on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/rucsrr 

In this episode, we sat down with Skot and Ryan to unpack Ryan's trip to BTC++ Nairobi, where he represented the 256 Foundation and shared our open-source mining mission with builders from across Africa. Ryan talked about the incredible energy of the local Bitcoin community, the real-world use of Lightning and mobile payments across borders, and why Africa offers such a powerful glimpse into Bitcoin's practical value. We also dug into the strong interest in open-source mining, from Ryan's main-stage talk on the 256 Foundation's mining stack to the many conversations he had with developers excited to contribute, experiment, and build without the barriers of closed hardware and firmware.We also went deep on Ryan's hands-on mining workshop, where attendees learned Bitcoin mining from first principles, CPU-mined on a classroom Signet, assembled Bitaxes, and watched the network shift as ASICs came online. From there, we explored what Ryan saw at Gridless's biomass-powered mining site in Kenya, the technical realities of balancing power generation with mining load, and promising local projects like BitShaka and Juakali. Throughout the conversation, one theme kept coming up: open-source mining is becoming a practical path for education, experimentation, decentralization, and entirely new energy use cases—and the momentum behind Mugena and the broader 256 Foundation mission is clearly growing.

EP 679 Nairobi Leads Kenya in HIV Infections: The Hidden Cost of Modern Dating, Tinder & Hookup Culture

Karl Madelin joins the conversation to explore a challenge most people rarely think about until food prices rise or health problems emerge: the relationship between agriculture, nutrition, and the systems that shape what ends up on our plates.We started with a simple observation.Food isn't just agriculture.It's economics.It's health.It's culture.And ultimately, it's community.Karl brings experience across healthcare, financial services, and now agricultural transformation in Africa. What began as a discussion about food supply quickly became a much larger conversation about resilience, smallholder farmers, hyper-consolidation, nutrition, and why the future of communities may depend on reconnecting consumers with local producers.This isn't just a conversation about farming.It's about how societies create healthier systems—and what happens when efficiency becomes more important than resilience.Most importantly, it's about understanding that every purchasing decision is also an investment in the kind of community we want to build.TL;DRAgriculture is the foundation of economic transformation.Nutrition sits at the intersection of food and health.Hyper-consolidation creates efficiency but reduces resilience and choice.Smallholder farmers should be viewed as family businesses, not development projects.Healthy food systems require reliable supply chains, not just good intentions.Consumer habits shape markets and determine which producers survive.Supporting local agriculture strengthens communities and economic independence.Food choices are investments—not just purchases.Memorable Lines“Agriculture is actually the foundation of economic transformation.”“Nutrition is where health and agriculture meet.”“The original family business was the farm.”“Efficiency without resilience creates fragility.”“Healthy food isn't always accessible, and that's a problem.”“Consumers don't just buy food—they shape markets.”“Every purchase is an investment in someone's community.”“Support smallholder farmers, and you support families.”GuestKarl MadelinBased in Nairobi, Karl has spent his career across healthcare, financial services, and agricultural transformation. His work focuses on economic development, nutrition, and building sustainable agricultural systems that empower smallholder farmers and strengthen communities.Why This MattersMost people think about agriculture only when food prices increase.But food systems shape far more than what's on our dinner tables.They influence health.They determine economic opportunities.They affect communities and culture.And they define how resilient societies become when disruptions happen.Industrial efficiency has delivered abundance.But efficiency without diversity creates fragility.The challenge isn't choosing between global and local systems.It's finding the balance between scale and resilience.Because healthy societies aren't built only by producing more food.They're built by creating systems that allow communities, families, and farmers to thrive together.And sometimes, transformation starts with something as simple as asking where your food came from—and who you're supporting when you buy it.Listen to the full episode of Second Life Leader for a deeper conversation on agriculture, health, resilience, and why rebuilding stronger systems starts closer to home than we think.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week on the podcast, we re-presenting an episode that first posted nearly five years ago in the summer of 2021. At the time, my guest, Elizabeth Ann [Campbell Parks] Rollins-Moskowitz, Liz Campbell for short, was empty nesting and remote grandmothering while diving ever deeper into her art using her Mill Valley, California setting as a constant muse. Today she's hands on grandmothering, establishing herself in the Nairobi art scene and making new friend across generations. At 87, Grandma Liz continues to be an examplar of what Glocal Citizenship is all about.

The Chinese government this week unveiled a new vision for the emerging post-American-led international order. In a new white paper, Beijing argued that the existing global system does not need to be replaced or rebuilt. Instead, it called for the United Nations to remain at the center of global governance while giving developing countries a greater voice in international decision-making. Eric and Cobus discuss China's push for global governance reform and why many African countries are backing Beijing's position. Plus, Kenya becomes the latest front in the contest between China and Taiwan after Nairobi acquiesced to Beijing's pressure and blocked Taiwanese delegates from attending an oceans forum in Mombasa.

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.

From Nairobi's Zero Project Tech Forum: Steven Scott and Shaun Preece meet innovators using AI robots to teach deaf students STEM, digital avatars to interpret sign language at scale, and 3D printing to put custom prosthetics within reach across Africa. Day two of Double Tap's coverage from the Zero Project Tech Forum in Nairobi centres on communication and care. Steven Scott and Shaun Preece speak with three innovators whose work shares a common thread: using off-the-shelf technology and African-built data sets to solve problems that mainstream assistive tech has repeatedly overlooked. Maxwell Kamau, Partnerships Lead at ZeroBionic, introduces a Kenyan startup building AI-powered humanoid robots as learning aids for blind, visually impaired, deaf, and hard of hearing students. Their first product is a 3D-printed prosthetic arm, made from recycled plastic, that translates documents and video into sign language, trained on African sign language data sets that automatically adapt to the student's country. Their second product is a Braille-tagged STEM robotics kit designed for blind learners. Every component, from motors to microcontrollers, carries a Braille label so students can identify and assemble the parts by touch. The kit supports coding by voice, sign language, text, or drag-and-drop, and is aimed at learners from age five upwards. ZeroBionic is now presenting its new Braille education hardware, and is seeking manufacturing and distribution partners to reach schools that cannot afford commercial robotics kits. Winnie Ongiri, Operations Manager at Signvrse, explains how her Nairobi-based company has built an AI-powered digital sign language interpreter that converts speech and text into signing via lifelike customisable avatars. Rather than a standalone app, Signvrse is designed as an API, a foundational accessibility layer that other platforms can plug into. Currently operating at a two to three second response time, the team is working toward 500 milliseconds for genuinely real-time interpretation. Motion capture data is collected directly from deaf community members, and quality assurance is built around ongoing community involvement at every stage. Winnie addresses the displacement question directly: the technology is designed for places human interpreters cannot reach, such as websites and online video, rather than to replace them. Dr Nick Were, co-founder of Prothea in Kenya, describes how his company is using iPhone LiDAR scanning, proprietary 3D modelling software, and desktop 3D printing to produce custom-fitted prosthetic sockets in under 24 hours. Traditional methods take a week or more, and public facilities can take a month. The sub-millimetre accuracy of the digital workflow produces a more comfortable fit than a plaster cast, and the hub-and-spoke model means prosthetists can travel to remote patients with just an iPhone, send the scan file back to base, and have a printed socket shipped out. Prothea has served more than 700 patients and holds close to 600 scan files that could be used to train AI modelling, a partnership the team is actively seeking. Prothea operates as an implementing partner of Ugani Prosthetics, whose workflow and software were developed through university research in Belgium and are now being deployed across Africa, Asia, South America, and Europe. The episode closes with news that the Zero Project Tech Forum will continue to Mumbai in September, Tokyo on October 9th, Singapore in November, and Santiago de Chile also in November. Relevant Links

Les journalistes et experts de RFI répondent également à vos questions sur le business des visas par l'entreprise VFS Global et le scandale du chlordécone dans les Antilles françaises.  Kenya : pourquoi un centre de traitement Ebola suscite la controverse ? La tension reste vive. Malgré la décision de la Haute Cour de Justice de Nairobi justice de suspendre la construction d'un centre de quarantaine destiné à accueillir des Américains potentiellement infectés par le virus Ebola, des affrontements ont éclaté entre manifestants et forces de l'ordre à Nanyuki. Au moins une personne a été tuée. Pourquoi ce projet suscite-t-il tant de colère ? Pourquoi les manifestations se sont elles poursuivies les travaux sont suspendus ? Quel intérêt le gouvernement kényan a-t-il à vouloir mettre place ce centre ? Avec Albane Thirouard, correspondante de RFI à Nairobi.      Visas en Afrique : le business des visas est-il légal ?  Si vous avez déjà décroché un rendez-vous pour obtenir un visa, vous êtes probablement passé par l'entreprise VFS Global. Mais derrière cette plateforme devenue incontournable se cache un business extrêmement lucratif.  Une enquête coordonnée par Lighthouse Reports, avec la participation de 14 médias dont RFI, s'est penchée sur les pratiques de cette entreprise indienne aujourd'hui omniprésente en Afrique et dans le monde. Entre 2017 et 2024, ses profits opérationnels sont passés de 31 à 171 millions d'euros, alors que le nombre de demandes de visas n'a augmenté que de 15 %. Comment expliquer une telle croissance ? Pourquoi VFS Global a-t-elle le monopole dans le traitement des demandes de visas, notamment sur le continent africain ? Avec Sidy Yansané, journaliste au service Afrique de RFI.     Scandale du chlordécone : combien de temps les Antillais vont encore subir les conséquences de cet insecticide ? Le Parlement français a reconnu à l'unanimité la responsabilité de l'État dans le scandale du chlordécone aux Antilles. Entre les années 1970 et 1990, cet insecticide a été utilisé dans les bananeraies de Guadeloupe et de Martinique, alors même que l'OMS alertait déjà sur sa dangerosité sur les habitants. Sachant que plus de 90 % de la population antillaise est contaminée, combien de générations devront encore vivre avec les conséquences de cette pollution ? Avec Hervé Macarie, chargé de recherche à l'IRD (Institut de recherche pour le développement), affecté à l'unité mixte de recherche IMBE, l'Institut méditerranéen de biodiversité et d'écologie marine et continentale.)

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina. Mkutano wa 19 wa Nchi Wanachama wa Mkataba wa Haki za Watu Wenye Ulemavu CRPD, umehitimishwa jana katika makao makuu ya Umoja wa Mataifa jijini New York, Marekani. Watu wenye ulemavu na wadau mbalimbali wa Serikali na Mashirika yasiyo ya Serikali walikusanyika kutoka kila pembe ya dunia kujadili hatua zilizopigwa katika kipindi cha miaka 20 ya Mkataba wa Kimataifa wa Haki za Watu Wenye Ulemavu, CRPD. Mmoja wa waliohudhuria ni Bwana Kibaya Laibuta ambaye licha ya kupoteza uwezo wa kuona akiwa na umri wa miaka 24 alipokuwa mwanafunzi katika Chuo Kikuu cha Nairobi bado alifanikiwa kusonga mbele akamaliza masomo yake ya sheria na masomo mengine ya ngazi za juu na sasa miaka mingi baadaye ni Jaji katika Mahakama ya Rufaa ya Kenya.

What does the Bible actually say about politics, and how should Christians engage public life in an age of division and polarization? In this inaugural episode of Reimagining Biblical Politics, biblical scholar Michael Rhodes joins co-host Marshall Teague to explore the foundational claim at the heart of Scripture: God reigns. Rather than offering partisan talking points or commentary on current political controversies, Rhodes argues that the Bible presents a rich and often-overlooked vision of political discipleship rooted in the kingdom of God. Drawing from his experiences living and serving in economically marginalized communities in Memphis, Nairobi, and Auckland, Rhodes explains how questions of justice, poverty, public life, and community inevitably led him to reconsider the relationship between faith and politics. The conversation introduces key themes from his book, Reimagining Biblical Politics, including the distinction between "outpost politics"—how God's people live together as citizens of God's kingdom—and "pilgrim politics"—how Christians engage the broader society around them. Listeners will discover why the language of kingdom, gospel, peace, and savior was deeply political in the biblical world, why Scripture offers far more than a few isolated verses on government, and how a renewed understanding of biblical politics can help Christians faithfully navigate public life today.

Cohosts Dr. Sara Pereira and Dr. Fatima Wilder are joined by guest Dr. J.W. Awori Hayanga—professor of cardiothoracic surgery at West Virginia University, director of the WVU Heart and Vascular Institute ECMO Program, and a nationally recognized leader in transplantation, health policy, and artificial intelligence in medicine—for a wide-ranging conversation about mentorship, resilience, and purpose. Born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, Dr. Hayanga reflects on the profound influence of his lawyer parents, especially his mother, whose pioneering work in microfinance and women's empowerment shaped his worldview and commitment to service. He shares the challenges of immigrating to the United States for medical training, navigating the uncertainty of visa status as an international medical graduate, and learning how relationships, mentorship, and persistence can open doors throughout a surgical career. The conversation also explores the growing role of artificial intelligence and robotics in cardiothoracic surgery, along with candid insights on leadership, emotional intelligence, failure, and staying grounded through the demands of academic medicine.
