The New Yorker recently published a report from Sudan, headlined “Escape from Khartoum.” The contributor Nicolas Niarchos journeyed for days through a conflict to reach a refugee camp in the Nuba Mountains, where members of the country's minority Black ethnic groups are seeking safety, but remain imperilled by hunger. The territory is “very significant to the Nuba people,” Niarchos explains to David Remnick. “They feel safe being there because they have managed to resist genocide before by hiding in these mountains. And then you start seeing the children with their distended bellies, and you start hearing the stories of the people who fled.” The civil war pits the Sudanese Army against a militia group called the Rapid Support Forces. Once allies in ousting Sudan's former President, the Army and the R.S.F. now occupy different parts of the country, destroying infrastructure in the opposing group's territory, and committing atrocities against civilians: killing, starvation, and widespread, systematic sexual violence. The warring parties are dominated by Sudan's Arabic-speaking majority, and “there's this very, very toxic combination of both supremacist ideology,” Niarchos says, and “giving ‘spoils' to troops instead of paying them.” One of Niarchos's sources, a man named Wanis, recalls an R.S.F. soldier telling him, “If you go to the Nuba Mountains, we'll reach you there. You Nuba, we're supposed to kill you like dogs.”

Cine a finanțat PSD în anul electoral 2024 (G4Media) - Armata Paralelă Română – De la mercenarul Horațiu Potra, la generalii în rezervă care susțin mișcări legionare (Europa Liberă) - Un tânăr din AUR recrutează neonaziști din rândul grupării „Unitatea 731”. Cum comentează declarațiile pro-evreiești făcute de George Simion: „Doar nu vrei să zică în public că trebuie gazați” (PressOne) - Dacă o mai ţin mult cu incertitudinea politică şi fiscală – cresc sau nu taxele, politicienii chiar riscă să trimită economia şi businessul în criză (ZF) Cazul de studiu Bolojan, despre autoamăgire și alegeri (SpotMedia)Cazul Bolojan, ieri înger, azi demon pentru o parte a electoratului care nu îi iartă exprimarea opțiunii de vot și demolarea argumentată a iluziei că va deveni premierul minune, poate fi, atunci când ne vom mai răcori după alegeri, unul de studiu despre capacitatea de autoamăgire, despre dublă măsură și slaba cunoaștere a mecanismelor politice constituționale, scrie jurnalista Ioana Ene Dogioiu.Președintele interimar Ilie Bolojan și-a exprimat opțiunea de vot pentru un candidat. Candidatul pe care l-a propus oficial coaliției de guvernare, candidatul al cărui nume apare în protocolul de funcționare a coaliției formată după alegeri semnat de președintele PNL Ilie Bolojan.Susținătorii acum dezamăgiți ai domniei sale erau convinși că dl Bolojan a mințit când a semnat. Asta așteptau de la el, să mintă, să semnalizeze dreapta și să o ia la stânga, să fie că restul oamenilor politici, dar într-un interes convenabil.Avea dreptul să facă declarații de susținere a unui candidat? Da, a stabilit CCR în 2014, când Traian Băsescu îi făcea campanie Elenei Udrea. Cel care l-a reclamat, într-un conflict de natură constituțională, a fost premierul de atunci Victor Ponta.De fapt, obiecția dezamăgiților nu este de natură constituțională, ci exclusiv de conținut al opțiunii anunțate. Integral, pe pagina SpotMedia.Cine a finanțat PSD în anul electoral 2024 / Milioane de lei pe filierele Nuba și Mihaela Neagu ”regina licitațiilor”/ Patronii FCSB și CFR Cluj / Fiul adoptiv al unui interlop din Vâlcea, cununat de Ponta / Un maseur care, întrebat de unde a avut banii, a spus: ”Din masaje erotice”   (G4Media)Surprize mari pe lista persoanelor fizice și juridice care au finanțat PSD în 2024, an cu patru rânduri de alegeri – locale, europarlamentare, parlamentare și prezidențiale. Lista a fost publicată în Monitorul Oficial, anunță G4Media.Printre cei care au donat sau au împrumutat sume consistente social-democraților se află patronii echipelor de fotbal FCSB și CFR Cluj, un maseur care a justificat de unde a avut cei 650.000 de lei prin faptul că face masaje erotice, mai mulți oameni de afaceri controversați, unul fiind implicat în dosarul penal al fostului șef SRI, Florian Coldea, unul dintre patronii Clubului Nuba și apropiați ai săi sau un fin al lui Victor Ponta, care este fiul adoptiv al unui fost lider al lumii interlope din Vâlcea.De menționat că toți cei care au împrumutat PSD – iar sumele nu sunt deloc mici, variind între câteva sute de mii și milioane de lei – au făcut un  serviciu acestui partid: banii le-au fost returnați din bugetul de stat deoarece social-democrații au atins un anumit procent de voturi; în mare parte, PSD și-a făcut cele patru campanii electorale ”pe datorie”, dar fără a plăti dobândă pentru zecile de milioane de lei împrumutate.În plus, partidul condus de Marcel Ciolacu nu a fost nevoit să apeleze la sumele pe care le-a primit, în mod tradițional, de la bugetul de stat pentru servicii de propagandă.Armata Paralelă Română – De la mercenarul Horațiu Potra, la generalii în rezervă care susțin mișcări legionare (Europa Liberă)Pentru prima dată de la Mineriada din 1991, alegerile prezidențiale din decembrie 2024 au ridicat problema fragilității ordinii constituționale. Anchetele judiciare de după anularea alegerilor au devoalat un păienjeniș de rețele – cu multe legături în armată – care vor schimbarea democrației.„Este mult spus armată paralelă”, afirmă istoricul Cosmin Popa, specialist în istoria perioadei comuniste și în spațiul ex-sovietic.„Nu suntem într-un scenariu de tip America Latină, nu e vorba de lovituri de stat. Dar da, avem o problemă de fond. În România nu există un consens solid în jurul valorilor democratice și asta se vede și în armată”, adaugă el.„O parte semnificativă a corpului militar în retragere – și, uneori, chiar și în activitate – nu este pe deplin fidelă valorilor constituționale. Când un fost ofițer spune că «politicienii trădează țara», că «UE ne-a colonizat», că «trebuie să salvăm țara din interior», acelea nu sunt simple opinii, sunt formule retorice care pot alimenta forme de radicalizare”, mai explică Popa pentru Europa Liberă.Istoricul e de părere că foștii militari care apar în aceste grupuri sau în spațiul public cu discursuri radicale sunt oameni care simt că au fost nedreptățiți, că nu li s-a recunoscut contribuția sau că au fost marginalizați. El e de părere că toate ideile vehiculate în afara cadrului militar oficial își găsesc ecou în mulți dintre cei care poartă haina militară.Un tânăr din AUR recrutează neonaziști din rândul grupării „Unitatea 731”. Cum comentează declarațiile pro-evreiești făcute de George Simion: „Doar nu vrei să zică în public că trebuie gazați” (PressOne)În timpul documentării despre Unitatea 731, grupare neonazistă care acționează în România și Republica Moldova, PressOne descoperă un schimb de replici între membrii organizației și Vlad Petre, un tânăr din AUR Sector 5.La jumătatea lunii februarie, Petre este adăugat într-un grup privat al Unității și propune o colaborare între membrii săi din București și organizația de tineret a partidului AUR.Propunerea primește reacții mixte: câțiva neonaziști o văd ca pe o oportunitate de mascare a acțiunilor violente întreprinse de Unitate, alții o resping pentru că, susțin ei, George Simion e prea prietenos cu romii și evreii. Vlad Petre spune că a fost dat afară din partid încă de acum câteva săptămâni. Șeful tineretului din Sectorul 5 susține că băiatul n-a fost niciodată membru al partidului. Ulterior, președintele organizației de tineret, Răzvan Biro, avea să ne comunice că Petre a fost dat afară „în perspectiva informațiilor prezentate” de PressOne. Nu e cazul să daţi foc la valiză, când valiza este plină cu bani: Dacă o mai ţin mult cu incertitudinea politică şi fiscală – cresc sau nu taxele, politicienii chiar riscă să trimită economia şi businessul în criză (Ziarul Financiar)Toţi antreprenorii, toţi directorii, toate companiile, că sunt româneşti, multinaţionale sau că sunt de stat, vor să se termine odată cu alegerile politice – alegerile prezidenţiale şi cu situaţia neclară în privinţa taxelor şi impozitelor – dacă cresc, ce creşte şi cu cât, scrie în ziarul de business jurnalistul Cristian Hostiuc.Incertitudinea politică va plana în continuare, pentru că rezultatul alegerilor prezidenţiale este în ceaţă. Dacă la Cotroceni va veni George Simion sau Victor Ponta, vor forţa o nouă alianţă politică şi un nou guvern, asta dacă pot face acest lucru. Dacă la Cotroceni vine Crin Antonescu sau Nicuşor Dan, alianţa actuală PSD/PNL/UDMR şi guvernul Ciolacu 2 au o şansă să continue. Economia şi-a încetinit creşterea, iar execuţia bugetară la trei luni a guvernului Ciolacu 2 nu arată atât de strălucit în îndeplinirea obiectivului de reducere a deficitului bugetar de la peste 9% anul trecut (ESA) la 7%. Dar situaţia bugetară nu este dezastruoasă, mai ales că Ministerul Finanţelor a reuşit să acopere peste 30% din necesarul de finanţare bugetară pentru acest an. România plăteşte dobânzi mai mari, dar pieţele financiare nu sunt închise pentru obţinerea acestor împrumuturi. Pe larg, în ZF.

V Slovenski kinoteki še do 6. maja poteka prva pregledna retrospektiva filmov Maje Weiss, prve slovenske režiserke, ki je posnela celovečerni film (to je bil leta 2002 Varuh meje). Maja Weiss je poleg fantastične romantike igranih del, kot so zapisali v Kinoteki, tudi najplodovitejša slovenska dokumentaristka; njeno delo zaznamujeta neomajna etična drža in pozorno obravnavanje žgočih in obrobnih družbenih tem. Na primer v dokumentarcih, kot so Judje na Slovenskem, Kam je izginil delavski razred?, Odkrivanje Skritega spomina Angele Vode, Banditenkinder: slovenskemu narodu ukradeni otroci in Zajeti v izviru – Slovenski otroci Lebensborna, Cesta bratstva in enotnosti. Pa treh filmih, ki se osredotočajo na Sudan in jih je posnela skupaj s Tomom Križnarjem: Nuba, čisti ljudje Dar Fur, vojna za vodo ter Oči in ušesa Boga. Retrospektivo, ki so jo pripravili tudi v sodelovanju s Festivalom dokumentarnega filma in s katero v Kinoteki skušajo prikazati razvoj avtorskega izraza ustvarjalke, ki čez dva dni praznuje šestdesetletnico, so pospremili tudi z razstavo. Pred naš mikrofon pa je Majo Weiss, eno najuspešnejših in cenjenih slovenskih filmskih režiserk, povabila Tina Poglajen.

En su tradicional mensaje navideño y bendición “Urbi et Orbi” el Papa Francisco no solo pidió el fin de la guerra en Gaza o de la invasión de Rusia a Ucrania. El sumo pontífice también se acordaba de los demás conflictos armados que golpean a diferentes regiones del mundo como Sudán.  Francisco mencionó las guerras que se viven en República Democrática del Congo, las tensiones en la península coreana, en Siria, en Sudan del Sur y Sudán, donde cerca de dos millones de desplazados han huido en los últimos días de la ciudad de Wad Medani donde se habían refugiado tras abandonar en los años precedentes la capital del país, Jartum.Fue precisamente en este país, y más concretamente en la única ciudad controlada por el ejército regular, Port Sudán, donde el Padre español Jorge Naranjo pudo celebrar la vigilia navideña junto a miles de desplazados que se cuestionan aún más sobre un futuro muy incierto.“Este lunes por la mañana teníamos miles de personas, porque no solamente los habitantes situados en Port Sudán, hay gente que ha llegado o las primeras olas de desplazados desde la capital, desde Jartum, al inicio de la guerra o en esta última ola de desplazados desde Medani. Estamos aquí trabajando con la gente en Port Sudán, pero efectivamente, con el deseo de poder volver a los lugares que hemos dejado”, afirma a RFI el padre Naranjo.Desde Medani, la comunidad católica considera importante que el Papa se haya acordado del conflicto que sufren.“En todo conflicto y de modo particular en el sudanés, juegan factores políticos externos ajenos al país. Y es importante que ningún conflicto quede en el olvido y que la comunidad internacional pueda también presionar sobre los que tienen la capacidad de parar el tráfico de armas y otro tipo de dinámicas que no ayudan a que haya paz”, pide el sacerdote.La mayor parte de la población sudanesa, el 99%, es creyente y a pesar de que la Constitución señala que Sudán es un país “multirreligioso”, en la práctica el gobierno trata al islam como a la religión del Estado con un 71% de personas que lo profesa. Los católicos representan solo el 8,27% de la población.“La mayor parte de los católicos son o de origen sursudanés o de los montes Nuba, los que son de origen sursudanés, muchos de ellos han buscado refugio en Sudán del Sur, mientras que los católicos de origen Nuba normalmente se quedan aquí en Sudán, en ciudades más seguras”, aclara el padre Naranjo, quien recuerda que el conflicto en Sudán ha provocado seis millones de desplazados, “en términos cuantitativos es el primer conflicto en el mundo y no el último”, concluye el religioso.

"Every one of us has his or her personal mountain to climb. It might not be Everest or it might not be a physical mountain. Yours might be in the boardroom, on a bicycle, in your family, at school... There's always something we need to achieve. Something big, something difficult and something meaningful... And when you get there, remember to be thankful and reach down and pull someone else up with you."Africa has its fair share of mountains ranges – the Rwenzoris, the Drakensburgs, The Atlas mountains, the Nuba, Mt Kenya, and of course Mt. Kilimanjaro. They all form a nice backdrop, but very few look at them and say: “I'm going to go and climb that mountain!” Those who do lace up their hiking boots and set out to conquer those mountains are a special group – the mountaineer extra-ordinaries. But one woman is in a league of her own. Saray Khumalo has done all there's to do with African mountains and once that was done and dusted, she turned her gaze to Mt. Everest, the tallest mountain on earth at 8,849m. But that wasn't enough. She recently travelled to the South Pole, and she's now planning her trip in the opposite direction – the North Pole.

In terms of individual lives saved, you could argue that there is no other person on the front lines doing more than Tom. Additionally, we explore the manner in which the Nuba people die, which is in striking contrast to the ubiquity of chronic disease and self-harm in the West, despite the extreme poverty and unimaginable suffering experienced by the Nuba people. Lastly, we discuss the lessons to be gleaned from the Nuba people, who, despite their suffering, live so harmoniously, happily, and resiliently. We discuss: Background, medical training, and early days of missionary work in Africa [5:15]; Tom arrives at Mother of Mercy Hospital in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan, civil war breaks out, and his staff evacuates [12:30]; Learning surgery on the job and earning the trust of the community [37:00]; The amazing people of Nuba, and why Nuba feels like home to Tom [47:45]; NY Times article about Tom's work, and Tom's new venture on the board of the Aurora Prize Foundation, raising awareness and funds for other missionaries [59:45]; Tom's mind-blowing ability to deal with chaos while seeing hundreds of patients per day [1:12:00]; The most afraid Tom has ever been, and how he copes with the emotional trauma of his daily experiences [1:19:45]; The basic tools, technologies, and medicines that Tom is lacking that could save many lives [1:30:00]; The logistical challenge of helping Tom's hospital, and what Tom really needs [1:35:15]; Diseases in the adult population [1:38:30]; Living without possessions, finding meaning, and being a missionary [1:55:45]; Happiness, sense of purpose, and suicide: contrasting the US with Nuba [2:07:15]; Other than donations, is there a way people can help Tom and other similar causes? [2:15:15]; The food in Nuba [2:18:30]; Tom's annual bout of malaria [2:23:45]; Patients Tom will never forget [2:26:00]; Resources for people wanting to get involved in helping Tom's work [2:31:00]; Peter tells a story that defines Tom [2:32:00]; and More.

Programa "enComunicación" - 12 septiembre 2023

Elaborating the history, variety, pervasiveness, and function of the adornments and ornaments with which we beautify ourselves, Stephen Davies's Adornment: What Self-Decoration Tells Us About Who We Are (Bloomsbury, 2020) takes in human prehistory, ancient civilizations, hunter-foragers, and present-day industrial societies to tell a captivating story of hair, skin, and make-up practices across times and cultures. From the decline of the hat, the function of jewelry and popularity of tattooing to the wealth of grave goods found in the Upper Paleolithic burials and body painting of the Nuba, we see that there is no one who does not adorn themselves, their possessions, or their environment. But what messages do these adornments send? Drawing on aesthetics, evolutionary history, archaeology, ethology, anthropology, psychology, cultural history, and gender studies, Stephen Davies brings together African, Australian and North and South American indigenous cultures and unites them around the theme of adornment. He shows us that adorning is one of the few social behaviors that is close to being genuinely universal, more typical and extensive than the high-minded activities we prefer to think of as marking our species - religion, morality, and art. Each chapter shows how modes of decoration send vitally important signals about what we care about, our affiliations and backgrounds, our social status and values. In short, by using the theme of bodily adornment to unify a very diverse set of human practices, this book tells us about who we are. Stephen John Davies is Emeritus Professor of philosophy at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. He mainly writes on aesthetics, evolution, and particularly the philosophy of art. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel.

Elaborating the history, variety, pervasiveness, and function of the adornments and ornaments with which we beautify ourselves, Stephen Davies's Adornment: What Self-Decoration Tells Us About Who We Are (Bloomsbury, 2020) takes in human prehistory, ancient civilizations, hunter-foragers, and present-day industrial societies to tell a captivating story of hair, skin, and make-up practices across times and cultures. From the decline of the hat, the function of jewelry and popularity of tattooing to the wealth of grave goods found in the Upper Paleolithic burials and body painting of the Nuba, we see that there is no one who does not adorn themselves, their possessions, or their environment. But what messages do these adornments send? Drawing on aesthetics, evolutionary history, archaeology, ethology, anthropology, psychology, cultural history, and gender studies, Stephen Davies brings together African, Australian and North and South American indigenous cultures and unites them around the theme of adornment. He shows us that adorning is one of the few social behaviors that is close to being genuinely universal, more typical and extensive than the high-minded activities we prefer to think of as marking our species - religion, morality, and art. Each chapter shows how modes of decoration send vitally important signals about what we care about, our affiliations and backgrounds, our social status and values. In short, by using the theme of bodily adornment to unify a very diverse set of human practices, this book tells us about who we are.

The leader of a military movement in the country says there is a risk Sudan could split because the current military junta in charge of the country is not ready for a peaceful settlement and want to stay in power, The leader of the Sudan People's Liberation Army, Abdelaziz al-Hilu, says that his group will opt for independence if the government in Khartoum does not change. The SPLA-North is in control of a large swathe of land in the Nuba mountains in the country's south, as well as part of the Blue Nile in the southeast. Mr. Al-Hilu says his group prefers unity but warned that if Khartoum wants to maintain the old Sudan of segregation and oppression then “we will opt for independence.

 This interview is with Hajooj Kuka, who is a Sudanese activist and film-maker. Hajooj has been deeply embedded in the broad-based mobilization that is happening across Sudan since 2018. He's the dynamo behind the Sudanese Civic Lab, an independent nonprofit organization that provides spaces and opportunities for debates, training and artwork to help strengthen the revolution. In 2014, his documentary Beats Of The Antonov about war in the Blue Nile and Nuba mountain regions won the People's Choice Award at Toronto Film Festival. The film tells an important story; it teaches that even in times of adversity, there is resilience and resistance through music. Hajooj also founded Refugee Club, an alliance of creative members whose work reflects an awareness of the transitory state of migration. Here, artists explore identities beyond nation, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity and race without being afraid to ask critical questions. mAt the moment, he is the Creative Director of 7ayin, a Sudanese network reporting on the conflict and war in Sudan. In this episode, Hajooj talks about his personal experiences with political activism in Sudan, including:The role of the military in the revolution His personal struggle of mistrust towards other activists, as one never knows who might secretly work for the other side Strategies the military used to suppress opposition and resistance, such as cutting internet connections and electricity The main organizers of the revolution, such as the Resistance Committee, doctors, professionals, university students His goal of removing the mindset from society that the military should rule in Sudan The relationship between the Resistance Committees and the Sudanese Professionals Association and which strategies they use to mobilizeHow diversity strengthens, not weakens, the Sudanese movement  How colonialism impacts the local political and cultural fabric and how his movement plans on becoming more independent His answer to the question “What kind of Sudan do you want to create?”His thoughts on the International Criminal Court in Sudan His three artists he is loving these days are mostly local, young artists and poets. He lists Mu7aid (a local poet) and artists who make murals. Check out the artists here. Ukombozi is a podcast about social movements on the African continent and what it means to get free.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Pope Francis has asked the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors to produce an annual report on what the Catholic Church is doing around the world to prevent the abuse of minors and vulnerable adults. In an audience at the Vatican on April 29, the pope called on the commission to produce the annual audit to promote “transparency and accountability.” Father Andrew Small, the secretary of the commission, responded positively to the pope's request for the report at a press conference following the papal audience. The commission's report will not deal with specific cases, but will provide details on the status of safeguarding policies and procedures, according to Small. This will include how effectively guidelines are being implemented. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251094/pope-francis-asks-for-annual-report-on-church-s-efforts-to-prevent-abuse A Catholic doctor has been providing medical care to some 1 million people in the Nuba mountains, a contested region between Sudan and South Sudan. After the military staged a coup in Sudan six months ago, the country remains in political and economic turmoil. Its neighbor, South Sudan, faces severe food shortages and a rise in violence. Doctor Tom Catena, who works as a lay missionary and medical director of the Mother of Mercy Hospital, says that people from outside the region are now traveling to the rural hospital for care. The doctor discussed how many of their patients who come from the north are Muslims who have never had exposure to Christianity. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251086/this-catholic-doctor-provides-care-for-1-million-people-in-sudan-south-sudan The European Court of Human Rights ruled this week that Swiss authorities were wrong to reject a Pakistani Christian convert's asylum claim. The court in Strasbourg, France, said on April 26 that the expulsion of the applicant, identified only as M A M, to Pakistan would violate the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantees the right to life and prohibits torture and inhuman or degrading treatment. M A M is a Pakistani national who converted from Islam to Christianity after he arrived in Switzerland in 2015. His asylum application was rejected in 2018. The court said that Swiss officials should have examined his request, which was based on his conversion, in greater detail and taken into account the overall situation of Christian converts in Pakistan as well as the applicant's specific circumstances. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251092/european-court-sides-with-pakistani-christian-convert Today the Church celebrates Saint Catherine of Siena, a third-order Dominican, peacemaker, and counselor to the Pope. She singlehandedly ended the Avignon exile of the popes in the 14th century. She is the co-patron of Italy and of Europe. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-catherine-of-siena-451

I had the pleasure of speaking to the founder of To Move Mountains, Ryan Boyette in this episode. He shares with you how this nonprofit has been able leverage resources and international funding. But first, they started (and remain) at the community level. They asked the pivotal question to the community, "What do you want?" A resounding voice was Education. _____________________________________________________________________ Want Resources on grant writing and funding? ✔️ ✨

Ryan Boyette is the founder of To Move Mountains, which he began in 2018 to address the critical gap in education in Nuba. As a humanitarian aid worker, journalist, and change-maker, Ryan Boyette has spent over 15 years living in the remote Nuba mountains of Sudan, where he eventually met his wife Jazira. They now have two children, Eben (age 5) and Kandaka (age 2). ABOUT: With Faith in Jesus we provide education to children and communities in areas of conflict so that they are equipped with the knowledge and skills to improve all aspects of their lives. We believe that Improved Education Will lead to...Improved LivelihoodsEquipping students with knowledge and skills for innovative and adaptive livelihoods Improved GovernanceInstilling students with leadership and critical thinking skills for improved governanceImproved Social CapitalRestoring lost identity by promoting the Nuban's rich history through education.

GNAC started with the simple idea of basing a coalition on the unity and synergy found in the Book of Acts, where believers shared all things in common and worked unflinchingly toward the fulfillment of the Great Commission, along the way ministering to physical as well as spiritual needs of all those they encountered. Unlike a faith-based NGO, GNAC fulfills its mission and vision by working in conjunction with partner organizations like Africa Inland Mission (AIM), One Tribe and Sister Effect, Joining Our Voices and Nuba Christian Family Mission, Lift up the Vulnerable, Jesus Film, Partners International, e3 Partners, ACROSS, International Aid Services.  Frontiers, and Pioneers.  Also partner coalitions like the Sahel Initiative, Vision 5:9, GACX and the Missions Awareness Consultative Conf. (MACC).   Lastly, the many churches and individuals in Sudan and globally working to make a difference in our world. The Four Pillars of Gospel, Education, Relief and Capacity Building, along with the annual conference bringing the world to the isolated Nuba people, are the two main vehicles GNAC uses to coalesce the many giftings and talents of its members into ACTsion!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/radicalabundance)

How did the lifeboat of the North Atlantic, as it's called, manage to cope with thousands of unexpected air passengers? Jo Fidgen is in Gander, Newfoundland, with a story of 9.11 kindness. In Sudan, there are fears of a new offensive by government troops once the rains have stopped -- Julie Flint's in the Nuba mountains in the south. Nick Thorpe's at a monastery overlooking the River Danube in Romania. There they've been celebrating a holy day when people come to have their ailments washed away by holy water. Thomas Dinham tells of a febrile atmosphere in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, in the days after a mob laid seige to the Israeli embassy there. And in the week when the president of the European Commission spoke of a fight for our political and economic future, Paul Henley argues that increasingly Europe is becoming a continent of extremes.
