What does it actually mean to be East African?In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, Marcus Kwikiriza reflects on living and working across Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda, and why the dream of an integrated East Africa remains more complicated than many people assume.Drawing on his experience during Kenya's 2007–08 post-election violence, Marcus discusses ethnicity, identity, labour mobility, xenophobia, the decline of mass media, and whether a genuine East African citizen is emerging. We also explore the future of radio, political consciousness, and the impact of the Basketball Africa League on local sports systems.Sponsors:Threat Informat - https://threatinformant.io/                                               Akagera Medicines- https://www.akageramedicines.com Join our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF Media 

Hello and Welcome to the DX Corner for your weekly Dose of DX. I'm Bill, AJ8B. The following DX information comes from Bernie, W3UR, editor of the DailyDX, the WeeklyDX, and the How's DX column in QST. If you would like a free 2-week trial of the DailyDX, your only source of real-time DX information, just drop me a note at thedxmentor@gmail.com  I have some details on the CP7DX DXpedition to Bolivia. They are QRV from Tarija until June 6, including the CQ WW WPX CW weekend. The rest of the time they will do SSB, CW and FT8, 160-6M and EME on 144 and 432 MHz. QSL direct to LU1FM and Club Log OQRS too.  WA7RAR, Chris, is QRV from Bonaire as PJ4CB until June 8, SSB and CW, 20-10M and from POTA sites on the island.   Alain, F8FUA, will be in Kigali, Rwanda, operating holiday style as 9X5KM from June 4 to 13. There will be activity on CW, SSB and Digital on all HF bands, and depending on local conditions, possibly 160 meters. QSO will be uploaded to LoTW and LoTW, but no OQRS. QSL direct or via the bureau to F8FUA.  OH1LEG and OH1MN, Juha and Markus, will again activate OJ0Z and OJ0MN respectively from Market Reef, until June 6. It will be the same gear as previously, a pair of IC-7300 radios and dipoles and other wire antennas. Modes will be SSB and FT8.  Juha says they do four meters down to 160 meters and “I like more low bands.”  They will not do Logbook of the World or eQSL.  3G0Z became QRV from Juan Fernandez using 17m SSB and FT8 with a single-element Delta Loop antenna. Felipe was still installing additional antennas and planned to bring a linear amplifier online to expand capabilities. Weather on the island was cool but manageable—around 15°C (59°F) with clouds, light rain, and mild wind. The antenna site, about 40 meters above sea level, offers strong propagation toward Europe, Africa, and the central U.S. The operation is expected to last about 20 days.  Mac, KC8CPK, is a flight nurse on temporary duty at Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands,  doing Medevac work and is operating as V7/KC8CPK while awaiting his Marshallese license. Because the ham shack and antennas are shared with DARPA and NASA, he can only operate when the equipment is not otherwise in use, though he is trying to get on the air as often as possible. He expects to remain for about three more weeks. Current equipment is an IC-7300 with an M² 7/10/30LP antenna, and 40 meters seems to be the best band for that setup. There are also experimental fan dipoles for lower bands, possibly including 60 meters, but 80 meters is not available.  VR2XAN, Alberto, will be on as XX9TXN from Macao June 2-9, SSB, CW and FT8, all bands 160-6, “with a special focus on North America.” He says he will attempt SSB on 80M “and maybe 160.” QSL to IV3SKB.  ZL3IO, Holger is back in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, using the callsign ZL7IO, today to June 4, including the CQ WPX CW weekend, a single operator all band. QSL to DK7AO.  VP0/H – South Shetland Islands SQ4O, Rafal Mazur, says “If everything goes well, I plan to start broadcasting at the end of May” as HF0PAS from the Polish Antarctic Station Arctowski on King George Island. He has installed a Yagi for 20, 15 and 10 meters as well one for 6 meters. Rafal still has plans to install a dipole for 80 and 40 meters. He is expected to be there until October.  TF1OL, Ólafur, and his wife will be on Boa Vista Island, Cape Verde, from June 12 to June 23 for a 10-day stay. During this time, he will be active on FT8 and FT4 on 80 through 6 meters under the callsign D4OL.   If you have questions or need information, just drop me a note at thedxmentor@gmail.com  Until next week, this is Bill, AJ8B saying 73 and thanks to my XYL Karen for her love and support. I Hope to hear you in the pileups! Have a great DX week! 

On this episode of Discover Lafayette, we welcome Sarah Mary Toce Donlon, a speaker and consultant whose work bridges faith, wellness, leadership, human dignity, and the deeper questions that shape how we live. Sarah Mary is a Lafayette native from a third-generation Lebanese family, rooted in the Mahtook family. She describes growing up surrounded by cousins, food, and family, swimming at her grandmother's pool, and a deep sense of belonging. “I always just wanted to leave the world better than I found it,” she shares. “My family was so great and always supported my dreams and my big goals. I would say that they always dreamed bigger for me than I did for myself.” Sarah Mary first studied Disaster Science and Management at LSU, a path she jokingly calls “basically a superhero degree.” Theology had always interested her, but she saw disaster response as a way to live out her faith in practical service: “I could do the work of Christianity in helping people in their most vulnerable times, caring for the hurt, the sick, and those in need.” As a young intern at the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness during the BP oil spill, she witnessed the gravity of public service in real time. “The FBI is on the phone and the helicopters are coming in. It was something to see. I could be a part of a crew that had a hand in helping people recover.” Her path later turned toward advocacy, communications, and the dignity of women and children. Through spiritual direction, she began asking deeper questions about faith and theology. Her spiritual director eventually asked whether she had considered pursuing a degree in the subject. Sarah Mary remembered that as a child, she had written about that very dream in a journal. “I applied, I interviewed, I got in, I got a full scholarship,” she recalls of pursuing studies at Boston College. “It was unbelievable how it lined up. So I knew the path was made clear and I knew I was supposed to be there.” At Boston College, Sarah Mary earned her Master of Divinity, a three-year program with a pastoral component. But she is quick to say that theological study did not give her neat answers. “I always say that I was seeking answers, but I didn't get answers because I find in, at least the Christian tradition, when you get answers, you get more questions. The more you know, the more you know that you don't know.” What she received instead was a deeper understanding: “My whole worldview was reshaped. As a person, the way I engage with people and with life and with thoughts was made so much deeper and more impactful.” Part of her faith formation took her to Rwanda, where she completed her practicum teaching English and religion. Rwanda was then implementing English as a primary language, and Sarah Mary often used French to teach English to her students. She describes living on a school compound where “cows were roaming the grounds,” beginning mornings with dances with the children, and sharing meals with teachers. “It was such a spectacular experience,” she says. “It's a beautiful country, more beautiful than people realize.” A central theme of Sarah Mary's work is that faith does not require a rejection of reason. She says, “The awakened brain is wired for spirituality. Faith elevates reason, and science can prove it.” In our conversation, she explains that this idea has shaped a retreat she calls Sacred Sight, influenced in part by Dr. Lisa Miller's work in The Awakened Brain. Sarah Mary describes the human mind as needing both sides of the “picnic table”: logic, science, and facts on one side, and spirituality, philosophy, intuition, and the arts on the other. “In our world, we tend to think the only true way to know anything is through logic and science and facts, period,” she says. “So what Dr. Miller argues is that you're only using half of your brain when you think that way.” Sarah Mary's Catholic faith informs how she understands the relationship between reason and transcendence. “Faith never contradicts reason. It just elevates it,” she explains. “Reason has a ceiling. You can reason things all the way as high as reason will let you. But then it has a ceiling. And that's where faith comes in to elevate that ceiling.” This spiritual lens allows her to speak about suffering, meaning, and human purpose without reducing life to easy explanations. “Our suffering isn't meaningless,” she says. “It has a larger meaning in the wider world.” That belief also shapes her view of the human person. “As Catholics, we say we're built in the image of God,” Sarah Mary says. “We have God's fingerprints on our soul.” But she does not present faith as anti-intellectual or dismissive of science. Instead, she calls people to “expand the logic” and “dive into the faith.” For Sarah Mary, faith is not an escape from reality; it is a deeper engagement with it. “God's footprints are all over the created order,” she says. “If you go into nature and you look with sacred sight, using that fully awakened brain, you can see reflections of God.” Sarah Mary is especially compelling when she speaks about human dignity. Her theological education, she says, broke her out of “very black and white rigid notions of truth and not truth, right and wrong, and clear and not clear.” She learned to become more comfortable in “the gray,” where opposing truths can coexist in tension. She uses the example of Jesus being fully human and fully divine: “You have to hold two opposing ideas in tension, and they actually create the whole truth.” That same understanding applies to daily human relationships, leadership, communication, and conflict. For Sarah Mary, dignity becomes practical when we ask who we have quietly decided is “other.” Reflecting on a psalm that says God prepares a banquet before one's enemies, she observes: “What God doesn't say is that your enemies are not invited to that banquet.” She challenges listeners to consider not only who they identify as enemies, but who they value less than themselves. “Where can we challenge ourselves to grow an understanding of that person and inevitably grow in empathy and understand that they are dignified, just like you and I, no matter their circumstance, no matter what they look like?” That insight leads to one of the most grounded moments in the interview: how we see people experiencing homelessness. “Nobody grows up saying, I can't wait to have to beg for food,” Sarah Mary says. “That wasn't their dream.” She offers a simple but powerful phrase: “curiosity before judgment.” Rather than assuming we know someone's story, she asks us to become curious first. “What if we just got curious about people's lives before we made some all-knowing judgment when we don't even know who they are?” Through Sarah Mary, LLC, she now offers retreats, speaking engagements, leadership formation, corporate workshops, and spiritual conversations. Her work has included a teachers' retreat at Cathedral Carmel, a diaconate retreat for the current deacons at the Diocese of Lafayette, a five-part Easter mission at St. Pius X Church, and corporate retreats focused on leadership and morale. She does not believe in offering canned answers. “I never like to treat symptoms,” she says. “I like to treat root causes and help people think more deeply so that they can understand. Because when we understand, then we own knowledge and knowledge can transform us.” In corporate spaces, Sarah Mary often focuses on human flourishing, empathy, and communication. When morale is low or an organization is struggling through change, she helps people step back and see the larger picture. “Sometimes people just need to be heard and told that they're understood,” she says. Her approach is rooted in servant leadership and the belief that people thrive when their dignity is recognized. Sarah Mary also brings wellness into her work, not as a trendy add-on, but as part of the whole human person. Having worked as a trainer and in the health industry, she sees physical wellness as another form of healing. She has taught clients about movement, nutrition, and “adding more color in their life,” especially through fruits, vegetables, and micronutrition. In her view, faith and wellness are not separate: “God made it,” she says of the natural world. “It's his pharmacy.” The interview closes with practical wisdom about stillness, balance, and self-awareness. Sarah Mary says balance is often misunderstood. “I don't think it's giving everything equal amounts of yourself,” she explains. “Balance is knowing what your values are and making sure those are aligned with your daily priorities.” She encourages people to identify their values and then examine whether their actual days reflect those values. “We can go through a day and do 500 things and be incredibly efficient and accomplished, and then go to bed feeling like we did nothing because nothing that we did aligned with who we were and who we're called to be.” Sarah Mary offers a beautiful reminder about contemplation and prayer. Reflecting on silence, she references Pseudo-Dionysius and describes “a silence where you don't quiet yourself, but the mystery and the awe of God silences you.” In that space, words fall short. “It forces you to stop saying anything and just receive.” She also reminds us that faith requires space and invitation: “God's not going to force Himself into your life. He's waiting for your invitation.” This conversation with Sarah Mary Toce Donlon is ultimately about depth: deeper faith, deeper listening, deeper leadership, deeper dignity, and deeper awareness of the human being. She invites us to move beyond quick fixes, rigid categories, and surface-level solutions, and instead to ask better questions, hold mystery with humility, and see ourselves and others as created in love.

The LSE Middle East Centre hosted the launch of Richard Barltrop's paper, 'Sudan's Current War: A Longer View on Peacemaking and Prospects'. This hybrid event launched a new paper examining the ongoing war in Sudan, which broke out in 2023. Drawing on lessons from the history of peacemaking in Sudan and comparative insights from other civil wars, the paper reflects on pathways toward ending the conflict, including the urgency of de-escalation, the need for sustained, long-term peacebuilding efforts, and the importance of Sudanese leadership and ownership in shaping a durable peace process. Richard will be joined by discussants Raga Makawi and Abdel Salam Sidahmad, and the event will be chaired by LSE's Laura Mann. Meet our speakers Richard Barltrop is a Visiting Senior Fellow at the LSE Middle East Centre researching contemporary approaches to peacemaking and peace processes. He has worked for the UN in the Middle East, North Africa and the Horn of Africa and is the author of Darfur and the International Community: The Challenges of Conflict Resolution in Sudan (IB Tauris, 2011). Abdel Salam Sidahmed is Chairperson of the Sudanese HR Monitor (SHRM) and an academic and human rights specialist with a PhD in Political Science. He previously served as Senior Human Rights Advisor to the Sudanese Prime Minister and Minister of Justice during the transitional government (2020–2021). Dr. Sidahmed brings over two decades of international human rights experience, including nine years with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, where he served as Regional Representative for the Middle East (2013–2021). Prior to that, he spent ten years at Amnesty International (1995–2005) as a Researcher and later Program Director for the Middle East and North Africa. In academia, he served as Associate Professor of International Relations at the University of Windsor in Ontario, Canada (2005–2011). Raga Makawi is a Sudanese British researcher on Sudan's civic politics and social movements at the London School of Economics. She is the ex Editor at African Arguments curating topical themes on the Sudan's, the larger Horn and the general political and social affairs of the continent at large. She is co-author of the book Sudan's Unfinished Democracy: The Promise and Betrayal of a People's Revolution and is currently working on a number of publications in edited volumes including; the sudanese revolution and authoritarianism, the sudanese social movement contribution to security sector reform and new civic formations and the future of peace politics and political settlements in Sudan. Meet our chair Laura Mann is a sociologist whose research focuses on the political economy of development, knowledge and technology. Her regional focus is East Africa (Sudan, Kenya and Rwanda) but she has also worked on collaborative research on ICTs and BPO in Asia and has conducted fieldwork in North America as part of a project on digitisation within global agriculture.

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.

I invited Dr. Patrick Mason on to discuss reframing faith in the complex history of religion. He iis a historian and theologian at Utah State University, and discusses the evolution of his career from academic research to pastoral writing aimed at those navigating faith crises. He reflects on the limitations of a transactional approach to religion, suggesting instead that individuals must take personal accountability for their spiritual lives while remaining part of a community. Mason addresses difficult historical and moral issues, such as slavery and the priesthood ban, by arguing that past leaders were fallible and that modern believers should engage with the moral complexity of their heritage. He also shares his profound emotional experience studying the Rwandan genocide, using it as a lens to explore the problem of evil and the role of God in a suffering world. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes the importance of creating safe spaces for honest questioning and wrestling with doubt. Ultimately, Mason advocates for a broad and inclusive religious tent where the focus remains on a faithful God rather than the perfection of human messengers. He is the author of Planted and Restoration.   https://youtu.be/c_7JWglAeRY Don’t miss our previous conversation with Patrick: https://gospeltangents.com/people/patrick-mason/ Reframing Faith: Navigating the Moral Complexity of History and Belief We explored the difficult terrain of faith crises, historical trauma, and the transition from a transactional to an authentic spiritual life. Mason, known for his pastoral works like Planted and Restoration, argues that we must move beyond a “vending machine” approach to God to find a more durable and honest faith. The Trap of the Transactional God Many believers grow up with an “illusion of contract,” believing that specific acts of obedience—like paying tithing or accepting every calling—guarantee divine protection from calamity. Mason points out that when life fails to follow this script, individuals often fall into a “bottomless pit” of self-blame, thinking they simply weren’t “perfect enough.” Drawing on the teachings of the Apostle Paul, Mason emphasizes that we cannot reach God purely through the law; instead, we must take individual authority over our spiritual lives while remaining anchored in a community that “decenters the ego.” Confronting the “Moral Complexity” of History One of the most challenging aspects of a faith journey involves reconciling modern morality with the actions of past leaders, particularly regarding issues like slavery and the priesthood ban. Mason addresses the “trap of presentism”—the idea that we shouldn’t judge the past by modern standards—by noting that even in the 19th century, there were voices like Orson Pratt who critiqued slavery as an offense to our theology using the scriptures available at the time. Furthermore, Rick challenges the historical justification that the priesthood ban was necessary for the Church’s survival, noting that other restoration branches never implemented such bans. Patrick invites us to imagine a history where Brigham Young chose “radical racial inclusion” based on the Book of Mormon’s teaching that “all are alike unto God,” suggesting the Church might have been generations ahead in its global mission. Facing Evil and Prophetic Fallibility Mason's reflections on the 1994 Rwanda genocide serve as a sobering lens for the “problem of evil.” After visiting massacre sites in Rwandan churches, he described the experience as a confrontation with “satanic” evil that defies easy theological answers and forces us to ask, “Where was God?” This recognition of human darkness extends to his view of prophetic fallibility. Mason asserts that while prophets are “reliable guides,” they are not infallible and do not claim to be. He believes it is a mistake to treat the scriptures or prophetic statements as inerrant, noting that salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone, not through the perfection of his messengers. Creating Spaces to Wrestle with Faith To help others navigate these complexities, Mason and his wife hosted a student group in their home for years, providing a space for open gospel conversations without “guard rails.” He found that when people are given the space to wrestle with difficult questions—ranging from LGBTQ+ issues to church history—they often discover their own spiritual authority and wisdom. Ultimately, Mason suggests that the most foundational Christian covenant is not a litmus test of witnessing, but the commitment to “mourn with those that mourn” and “bear one another's burdens.” By creating spaces where people feel heard and validated, the community can move toward a more authentic and loving practice of the gospel.

In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, Okwir Rabwoni reflects on a life shaped by revolution, ideology, and war across East Africa. After leaving school at 17 to join the National Resistance Army, Rabwoni trained in Libya and Cuba before later joining the Rwandan Patriotic Front during the liberation war in Rwanda at the request of Major Gen. Fred Rwigema. He would later fight in Congo and work alongside Laurent-Désiré Kabila during one of the region's most transformative periods.The conversation explores revolutionary politics, identity, ideology, Uganda-Rwanda relations, the RPF, the NRA, the Congo wars, Pan-Africanism, Patrice Lumumba, Che Guevara, and what has changed between the revolutionary generation of the 1980s and the youth of today. This is a rare insider account of the wars and political movements that reshaped modern East Africa.Sponsors:Threat Informat - https://threatinformant.io/                                               Akagera Medicines- https://www.akageramedicines.com Join our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF Media

Deze aflevering van de De Donkere Kamer Podcast wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door Profotonet, gekend voor hoogwaardige prints, handgemaakte fotoboeken en wanddecoratie van topkwaliteit. Als luisteraar van deze podcast krijg je bovendien 10% korting met de code KAMER-10.Deze aflevering van de De Donkere Kamer Podcast is er ook met dank aan Foto Robyns. Al meer dan 70 jaar een vaste waarde voor fotografen, met persoonlijk advies en een sterke expertise in Canon, Nikon, Sony en Fujifilm. Een plek waar ze echt meedenken vanuit hoe jij fotografeert.In deze aflevering praat ik met fotograaf Jan Banning.Jan studeerde sociale en economische geschiedenis voor hij fotograaf werd, en die achtergrond voel je in bijna alles wat hij maakt. Zijn werk vertrekt vanuit context. Vanuit macht. Vanuit systemen. Vanuit de vraag hoe politieke en sociale structuren doorwerken in het leven van mensen.We praten over zijn manier van werken, over kunstlicht, controle, onderzoek en waarom hij soms maanden of jaren nodig heeft om tot de kern van een onderwerp te komen.Natuurlijk hebben we het ook over zijn bekende reeks Bureaucratics, waarin hij ambtenaren in verschillende landen fotografeerde als schakels in een groter systeem. Over zijn project Bloedbanden, waarin hij overlevenden van de genocide in Rwanda fotografeerde samen met daders met wie ze zich verzoend hebben. En over Het oordeel, zijn project rond Christina Boyer, een vrouw die volgens Jan al meer dan 33 jaar onschuldig vastzit in de Verenigde Staten.Dit gesprek gaat over fotografie, maar evengoed over rechtvaardigheid, frustratie, volhouden en de vraag wat je als maker kan doen wanneer je geconfronteerd wordt met iets dat je niet zomaar naast je neer kan leggen.Een aflevering over kijken, onderzoeken en blijven bewegen, ook wanneer het onderwerp zwaar is.Voel je tijdens het luisteren dat jij zelf ook nood hebt aan meer richting, scherpte of een eerlijke blik op je werk en praktijk?In mijn 1:1 mentoring traject begeleid ik fotografen gedurende zes maanden intensief en persoonlijk. We werken samen aan jouw fotografie, positionering, ondernemersvaardigheden, portfolio, zichtbaarheid of de grotere vragen waar je momenteel mee worstelt.Geen standaard coaching, maar een traject dat volledig afgestemd wordt op jouw praktijk, jouw ambities en jouw manier van kijken.Ik ben meestal volzet, maar af en toe komen er opnieuw plekken vrij.

VOV1 - Tổ chức Y tế Thế giới ngày 20/5 nhận định nguy cơ bùng phát dịch Ebola trên toàn cầu hiện ở mức thấp, dù tình hình dịch bệnh tại Cộng hòa Dân chủ Congo và Uganda đang diễn biến phức tạp với hàng trăm ca nghi nhiễm và hơn 130 trường hợp tử vong nghi liên quan.Phát biểu tại Geneva, Thụy Sĩ, Tổng Giám đốc WHO Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus len tiếng trấn an WHO đánh giá nguy cơ dịch bệnh ở mức cao tại cấp quốc gia và khu vực, nhưng đánh giá thấp ở cấp độ toàn cầu."Sau khi tuyên bố tình trạng khẩn cấp về y tế công cộng, tôi lập tức triệu tập Ủy ban Khẩn cấp. Ủy ban này đã họp vào hôm qua và nhất trí rằng tình hình hiện tại là một tình trạng khẩn cấp về sức khỏe cộng đồng mang tầm quốc tế, nhưng không phải là một đại dịch."Theo WHO, hiện Cộng hòa Dân chủ Congo đã ghi nhận 51 ca Ebola được xác nhận, gần 600 ca nghi nhiễm và 139 ca tử vong nghi liên quan. Dịch bùng phát do chủng Bundibugyo - một biến thể hiếm của virus Ebola hiện chưa có vaccine hoặc thuốc điều trị được phê duyệt.Dù Ủy ban Khẩn cấp của WHO nhận định tình hình chưa đến mức “đại dịch toàn cầu”, song việc tuyên bố tình trạng khẩn cấp y tế công cộng vẫn gây nhiều quan ngại. Ổ dịch hiện tập trung tại tỉnh Ituri ở miền Đông Cộng hòa Dân chủ Congo, song đã xuất hiện ca bệnh tại thành phố Goma – trung tâm thương mại đông dân nằm sát biên giới Rwanda. Uganda cũng ghi nhận các ca nhiễm tại thủ đô Kampala, trong đó có một trường hợp tử vong.Trước nguy cơ lây lan, chính quyền tại Goma và Bukavu (CHDC Congo) đã tăng cường các biện pháp kiểm soát y tế như kiểm tra thân nhiệt, rửa tay bắt buộc và giám sát dịch tễ tại các cửa ngõ ra vào thành phố. Nhiều bệnh viện tại khu vực miền Đông Congo cũng được đặt trong tình trạng báo động cao. Thị trưởng Bukavu Nicolas Kyalangalilwa cho biết: "Tại tất cả các điểm vào thành phố Bukavu, các biện pháp kiểm soát dịch tễ và giám sát đã được triển khai. Việc theo dõi sự di chuyển cũng như truy vết dân cư cũng đã được thiết lập và sẽ tiếp tục chừng nào còn cần thiết."WHO cảnh báo số ca mắc thực tế có thể tiếp tục tăng do virus đã âm thầm lây lan trong nhiều tuần trước khi được phát hiện. Các chuyên gia nghi ngờ dịch bệnh có thể bùng phát từ một sự kiện siêu lây nhiễm tại đám tang hoặc cơ sở y tế.Cũng liên quan tới tình hình dịch bệnh, chính phủ Đức xác nhận vừa tiếp nhận điều trị cho một công dân Mỹ nhiễm Ebola được chuyển từ Cộng hòa Dân chủ Congo tới bệnh viện Charité ở Berlin. Giới chức Đức khẳng định nguy cơ lây nhiễm đối với người dân châu Âu hiện “rất thấp”, đồng thời nhấn mạnh các tiêu chuẩn cách ly nghiêm ngặt đang được áp dụng. Phó phát ngôn viên của chính phủ Đức Steffen Meyer khẳng định:"Tôi cũng một lần nữa muốn nhấn mạnh rằng Bộ Y tế Đức cũng đã chỉ ra nguy cơ mắc Ebola đối với người dân Đức là cực kỳ thấp. Đây là đánh giá chung của Viện Robert Koch và Trung tâm Phòng ngừa và Kiểm soát Bệnh tật Châu Âu (ECDC). Khả năng lây truyền thứ phát ở châu Âu là rất, rất khó xảy ra. Điều này cũng đã từng được chứng minh trong đợt bùng phát dịch Ebola lớn nhất từ ​​trước đến nay giai đoạn 2014-2015."WHO đang tích cực phối hợp với các đối tác quốc tế để nghiên cứu các vaccine và phương pháp điều trị tiềm năng đối với chủng Bundibugyo, song quá trình triển khai có thể mất ít nhất hai tháng./.Phương Anh/VOV1Nhân viên y tế tại cửa khẩu Busunga giữa Uganda và CHDC Congo kiểm tra thân nhiệt của một du khách từ Bundibugyo.

An Ebola outbreak that started in the north-east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is spreading in the region and has been declared a health emergency. Health Check's Claudia Hammond has the latest with BBC reporter Emery Makumeno in Kinshasa, Heather Kerr, Country Director for the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in the DRC, and Professor Trudie Lang, head of the Global Health Network at Oxford University. Claudia is joined in the studio by BBC health reporter Laura Foster. They discuss the call for more testing of drugs with under-represented groups, after a study of Black African Americans, smokers, and people with complex health conditions in the US showed that an asthma drug, Tezepelumab, led to 70% fewer asthma attacks in people with severe asthma.They also hear about new hearing technology which can read peoples' brainwaves to help people to pick out the single voice they want to listen to in a noisy room. Claudia speaks to Nima Mesgarani, Associate Professor at the Zuckerman Institute at Columbia University in New York.And Claudia and Laura discuss why some cancer patients would fancy a pre-consultation with an AI avatar before a consultation with their real-life doctor?

Senators are meeting in committee on Wednesday to fix some parts of the bill, with the GOP hoping to finish their changes before the Memorial Day recess.The Trump administration is ramping up its response to a growing Ebola outbreak in Central Africa with new travel restrictions as one American in Africa tested positive for the virus. The Trump administration is stressing though that there are currently no cases in the U.S. The State Department says embassies in Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, and Uganda have established monitoring groups to communicate with Americans in the region. Ebola is highly contagious and can be contracted by way of bodily fluids. The disease it causes is rare, but severe and often fatal.

An ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been declared a public health emergency of international concern. The World Health Organisation has said that the virus has spread beyond the DRC, with confirmed cases reported in neighbouring Uganda. Two other neighbours - Rwanda and South Sudan - are also now on "high alert". The current strain of Ebola is caused by the Bundibugyo virus for which there are no approved drugs or vaccines.

Mahakama ya Kimataifa ya uhalifu wa kivita ICC iliyoko mjini The Hague, Uholanzi imesema mshukiwa wa mauaji ya kimbari ya mwaka 1994 nchini Rwanda Felicien Kabuga amefariki dunia.

In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, Dr. Adonia Ayebare discusses the hidden diplomacy behind the Uganda–Rwanda fallout, regional security in eastern Congo, and the future of Africa in an increasingly unstable global order. As Uganda's Ambassador to the United Nations and a longtime advisor to Yoweri Museveni, Dr. Ayebare offers a rare behind-the-scenes perspective on how power actually works in East Africa and at the UN.The conversation explores the role of Muhoozi Kainerugaba in repairing Uganda–Rwanda relations, the operations of the Uganda People's Defence Force in eastern Congo, the unresolved conflicts in Burundi and the Great Lakes region, and whether multilateral institutions like the United Nations still serve African states fairly. This is a deep discussion on diplomacy, geopolitics, power, conflict, and Africa's future in a world increasingly shaped by force rather than rules.Sponsors:Threat Informat - https://threatinformant.io/                                               Akagera Medicines- https://www.akageramedicines.com Join our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF Media

Owen Fitzpatrick: The Voice in Your Head Is Lying to You

Le mercure atteint parfois les 47 degrés au Mali, au Niger et au Burkina Faso, rapporte La Nouvelle Tribune. L'agence nationale de la météorologie du Mali prévoit que ces températures dureront au moins jusqu'à lundi prochain, prévient le journal qui rappelle au passage les recommandations à adopter : éviter l'exposition prolongée au soleil, porter des vêtements adaptés ou encore la vigilance pour les personnes les plus fragiles. Ces températures élevées « perturbent plusieurs activités » à Bankass dans la région malienne de Bandiagara, s'inquiète Bamada.net. Le site fait état d'une chaleur « particulièrement étouffante », « des charretiers affirment avoir été contraints de ralentir, voire d'interrompre leurs activités ». Pour Tchadinfos, cela ne fait aucun doute : le réchauffement climatique est la cause de ces phénomènes climatiques extrêmes. Et ils n'ont pas que des conséquences sur les températures. Le site pointe une étude d'une université californienne qui montre que la chaleur fait vieillir plus vite. « Dans les régions les plus exposées, peut-on lire, cela pourrait représenter jusqu'à 14 mois de vieillissement supplémentaire ». « Comprendre et atténuer ces effets apparaît désormais comme une priorité sanitaire mondiale », poursuit Tchadinfos. À lire aussiL'impact profond du changement climatique sur les migrations au Sahel et au Maghreb Ouverture de l'Africa CEO Forum ce jeudi à Kigali Plusieurs chefs d'État ont fait le déplacement au Rwanda pour ce rendez-vous annuel du secteur privé africain. Gabonreview relate notamment l'arrivée hier de Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema. Le président gabonais, nous dit le site, entend « nouer des partenariats » dans plusieurs secteurs, « infrastructures, énergie, agro-industrie, numérique et transformation locale des ressources naturelles ». « Un message calibré pour des interlocuteurs qui attendent du Gabon des signaux clairs, au-delà des discours », poursuit Gabonreview. « Un agenda d'affaires chargé », titre pour sa part Guinéematin à Conakry. Mamadi Doumbouya a fait le voyage accompagné d'une importante délégation. C'est même « le premier déplacement international d'envergure du Guinea Development Board (GDB), créé par décret présidentiel en mars dernier », nous dit le site. L'Africa CEO Forum est coorganisé par Jeune Afrique. Le magazine raconte le discours, hier à la tribune, de Paul Kagamé. Le président rwandais a dénoncé « le double discours des grandes puissances ». « D'un côté, ils viennent nous donner des leçons sur les droits humains et de l'autre, ils viennent nous prendre nos minerais. On ne doit plus attendre de se faire arnaquer » a-t-il lancé devant un public hilare, écrit le magazine. Retour sur le voyage du président taïwanais en Eswatini C'était il y a deux semaines, mais le New York Times dévoile les coulisses de ce déplacement dans une longue enquête, « au cœur de la mission secrète visant à transporter le président taïwanais en Afrique ». Le quotidien raconte les tentatives de la Chine pour tuer ce déplacement dans l'œuf. L'Eswatini est le seul pays africain à reconnaitre Taïwan, et pour se rendre dans le petit royaume enclavé d'Afrique australe, il faut traverser l'espace aérien des alliés de Pékin. « Un jeu du chat et de la souris à haute altitude », commente le New York Times. Les Seychelles, Maurice et Madagascar ont retiré l'autorisation de survol de leur espace aérien. Pour contrer cette interdiction, rapporte le journal, Lai Ching-Te et son équipe ont emprunté l'Airbus A340 du roi Mswati III. « Son voyage était un secret pour presque tout le monde à Taïwan, y compris au sein du gouvernement », explique le New York Times. « Afin d'alléger l'appareil et d'économiser du carburant, peut-on lire, les passagers n'étaient autorisés qu'à emporter des bagages cabine. » « L'avion a survolé l'espace aérien de Madagascar et de l'île Maurice ; selon les autorités taïwanaises, aucun des deux pays ne semblait savoir qui se trouvait à bord. » À lire aussiEswatini: le président taïwanais en visite, après un premier rendez-vous reporté sous la pression chinoise

Nouvelle alerte de l'opposition tchadienne sur l'état du climat politique dans le pays. En conférence de presse mercredi à N'Djamena, le parti Les Patriotes, membre de l'ex-Groupe de concertation des acteurs politique, le GCAP, a dénoncé ce qu'il décrit comme un durcissement du pouvoir, sur fond de condamnations judiciaires visant plusieurs responsables politiques. Le mouvement évoque également une dégradation de la situation sécuritaire et des fractures communautaires croissantes. 

What is cultural distress? It is a negative response rooted in a cultural conflict where the patient lacks control over their situation. It results in more physiologic effects on the body resulting in allostatic overload. To prevent this, healthcare practitioners must use strategies such as cultural humility to help patients navigate healthcare. Come find the best ways to deliver culturally sensitive care in any setting.

Where are the small cracks in your organization that are deviating you from your mission, even if it seems inconsequential now? In this episode, Jeff and Peter discuss:  Closing the gap between what we know and how we live. Leadership warnings from King David and King Solomon. Training up the next generation of leaders.  Actively fighting against mission drift.    Key Takeaways:  What you do today might not seem consequential, but the habits that we establish, the way that we live today, the cumulative impact of those small decisions, do impact where we end up. The earlier you catch that you're off track, the easier it is to get back on track.  The best leaders realize they're part of a bigger story. They actively and intentionally seek out and celebrate the success of others.  Generosity is good for our hearts. It is a way of recentering ourselves in what God is doing in the world, not just with what we want.    "Problems left unaddressed only grow in significance and impact on your life and on the lives of the people who are around you." —  Peter Greer   Episode References:  HOPE International: https://www.hopeinternational.org/ Tim Keller: https://timothykeller.com/ How Leaders Lose Their Way: And How to Make Sure it Doesn't Happen to You by Peter Greer: https://www.peterkgreer.com/how-leaders-lose-their-way-2/   About Peter Greer: Peter Greer is the CEO of HOPE International, a global Christ-centered nonprofit working to alleviate poverty through entrepreneurship and discipleship in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.

À l'occasion de la Journée internationale des infirmières du 12 mai, nous parlons de celles et ceux qui, une fois leur diplôme d'État d'infirmier acquis, ont choisi de se consacrer à une spécialité en particulier. Infirmièr.e.s en psychiatrie, en pédiatrie, en oncologie... Bien que les bases du métier soient les mêmes, les réalités et le quotidien diffèrent beaucoup selon le service dans lequel le soignant exerce et les pathologies qu'il prend en charge. Quelles sont les motivations pour s'orienter vers une spécialisation ? À quoi ressemble ce quotidien au service des autres ? Qu'est-ce que la spécialisation a changé pour ces hommes et ces femmes ?   Infirmière spécialisée, infirmière en pratique avancée, infirmière en milieu rural ou en contexte de crise... Près de 30 millions de personnes dans le monde exercent ce métier, d'après l'OMS, et dans de nombreuses régions de la planète, les infirmières sont l'unique réponse en cas de problème de santé.   Un métier à 87% féminin Aujourd'hui encore, même si ce métier est mixte, dans un pays comme la France par exemple, la profession est à 87% féminine. La question récurrente du manque d'effectifs constitue un défi majeur et le manque d'attractivité du métier concerne l'ensemble de la planète. Un même métier et de très grandes disparités : 29,8 millions d'infirmières étaient recensées dans le monde en 2023, mais d'un pays à l'autre, on observe des charges, des conditions de travail, des responsabilités variables. En France, on dénombre 94 infirmières pour 10 000 habitants. C'est moins qu'en Allemagne, avec 124 soignantes et beaucoup plus qu'au Bénin (6,12) ou au Rwanda (12,8). On relève aussi des écarts de revenus très conséquents d'un pays à l'autre : l'OCDE montre par exemple que les infirmières en Belgique sont quasiment payées le double de leurs consœurs en France. Une infirmière au Portugal est aussi trois fois moins payée que sa consœur du Luxembourg ! À écouter aussi : Infirmiers : quels obstacles au quotidien ?

C'est moins qu'en Allemagne, avec 124 soignantes et beaucoup plus qu'au Bénin (6,12) ou au Rwanda (12,8). On relève aussi des écarts de revenus très conséquents d'un pays à l'autre : l'OCDE montre par exemple que les infirmières en Belgique sont quasiment payées le double de leurs consœurs en France. Une infirmière au Portugal est aussi trois fois moins payée que sa consœur du Luxembourg ! À écouter aussi : Infirmiers : quels obstacles au quotidien ?

Nombre d'entre eux sont venus en Roumanie après avoir échoué à l'examen d'entrée en France, attirés par un système d'admission plus accessible, des cours dispensés en français et des frais de scolarité moins élevés que dans d'autres pays européens.

Nicole Taylor, President and CEO of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, joins Alberto Lidji to explore the evolving landscape of modern philanthropy through the lens of the world's largest community foundation. The conversation examines how donor advised funds (DAFs) are reshaping giving across generations, from ultra high net worth philanthropists to everyday donors seeking meaningful impact.

In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, Isabelle Kamariza shares the story behind Solid'Africa and the hidden crisis she discovered in Rwanda's public hospitals: vulnerable patients going without food. What began in 2010 as a small effort to feed a few patients has grown into one of Rwanda's most impactful social enterprises, now serving thousands of medically tailored meals every day across multiple hospitals and schools.The conversation explores poverty, dignity, healthcare, and why nutrition was overlooked for so long within hospital care systems. Isabelle also reflects on privilege, responsibility, and the challenge of turning compassion into a sustainable national solution through partnerships with the Government of Rwanda. This is a powerful discussion about healthcare, food security, inequality, and what it really takes to solve systemic problems in Africa at scale.Sponsors:Threat Informat - https://threatinformant.io/                                               Akagera Medicines- https://www.akageramedicines.com Join our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF Media

She is currently working on a senior housing community in Wichita and is passionate about helping others stop trading time for money before circumstances force them to act.  You can find Debora's guide on 7 Questions every Investor Should Ask here: https://beyondboundsproperties.com/investorguide   Here's some of the topics we covered:   From Canada To Africa And Building Businesses That Change Lives Why Trading Time For Money Is A Dangerous Trap How Losing Major Income Streams Forced A Massive Pivot The Senior Housing Opportunity Nobody Is Talking About Turning A 38% Occupied Assisted Living Facility Into A Cash Flow Play Creative Financing Strategies That Got The Deal Closed Why Tertiary Markets Could Be The Biggest Senior Housing Goldmine   If you'd like to apply to the warrior program and do deals with other rockstars in this business: Text crush to 72345 and we'll be speaking soon.   For more about Rod and his real estate investing journey go to www.rodkhleif.com  

Thirty years after the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, some convicted perpetrators are returning to the communities they once devastated. Felin Gakwaya travels to eastern Rwanda to meet both survivors and perpetrators living side by side again. He hears from Daniel Gasangwa, who went to visit the men who killed members of his family after they were released from prison — and told them not to be afraid, because they had been forgiven. He also meets Steven Ngabonziza, whose own path to forgiveness came not first through church, but through war, prison discipline and the slow work of reconciliation. And he hears from Viateur Ruribikiye, a perpetrator who now speaks of confession, repentance and God's pardon. Through their stories, which include discussions of violence and loss, the programme explores forgiveness not as an abstract idea, but as something lived out in villages, churches, homes and memories that have not gone away. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from Heart and Soul, exploring personal approaches to spirituality from around the world.

"That might be something that you see in a decade, not in two years of filming," Tara Stoinksi, CEO of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, tells me. The behavior she's referring to occurs in mountain gorilla groups, such as a "dominance transfer," where a younger male silverback takes over leadership from an older male, and infanticide, where an outsider or ostracized gorilla kills the offspring of a new mother within the group. The former of these was captured on camera within days of filming for the new Netflix documentary A Gorilla Story: Told by David Attenborough. Stoinski joins the Mongabay Newscast to discuss her role as a scientific adviser on the years-long project, the rarity of the behaviors captured on camera, and her thoughts on gorilla conservation in the Greater Virunga Landscape of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

In this episode Kevin Coldiron is joined by bestselling author Joe Studwell who speaks about his new book How Africa Works: Success and Failure on the World's Last Development Frontier. We discuss why many of our perceptions about Africa are wrong - why one big problem has been too few people, not too many and why the continent isn't as resource-rich as we think. Joe talks us through some surprising success stories - like Rwanda's emulation of Singapore and Botswana's success in avoiding “the resource curse”. This is the time to begin researching and understanding the opportunities in a continent that has more land mass than the US, China and India combined and will eventually be home to the majority of the world's young people.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Kevin on SubStack & read his Book.Follow Joe on LinkedIn and read his book.Episode TimeStamps: 00:01 - Introduction to the episode and guest02:04 - Why the book was written and initial motivation05:50 - Outsider perspective and reactions in Africa07:22 - The core idea: population density and development08:22 - Why Africa's growth lagged historically14:23 - Population growth and changing economic potential15:39 - Colonialism in Africa vs Asia20:14 - Land, agriculture, and development differences23:55 - Rise of private sector and food production25:57 - Resources and the limits of extractive growth29:56 - Botswana and managing resource wealth36:21 - Rwanda's development model and governance44:41 - Ethnic dynamics and future stability50:24 - China's role and manufacturing potential56:04 - Investing in Africa and long term outlookCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

Send us Fan MailDr. Brandon Hadfield and Dr. Debora Abimana join Ben for a conversation that brings the incubator's global neonatology work full circle — from the founding of Rwanda's first neonatology fellowship program to seeing its first trainee present scholarly work at PAS. Dr. Abimana shares findings from her research on healthcare provider attitudes toward donor human milk in Rwandan NICUs, where the concept is largely welcomed but faces cultural concerns around infants adopting the characteristics of their donor — a barrier the team hopes to address through targeted community education. She also paints a vivid picture of the need: NICUs without TPN, near-universal breastfeeding rates driven by necessity rather than choice, and critically ill mothers who simply cannot produce enough milk for their premature babies in those first crucial hours.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.
