Met die sperdatum vir die Wet op Groei en Geleenthede in Afrika, Agoa, wat verstryk het, berig internasionale media dat die Trump-administrasie 'n verlenging van een jaar van die handelsinisiatief met Afrika suid van die Sahara steun. Sedert die aanstelling in Januarie het die administrasie nog nie voorheen 'n amptelike standpunt oor Agoa uitgespreek nie, 'n wet wat in 2000 uitgevaardig is om belastingvrye toegang tot die Amerikaanse mark vir duisende Afrika-produkte te verleen. Namibië se handelsministerie sê dat hy steeds wag op terugvoer van die Amerikaanse regering. Uitvoerende direkteur Ndiitah Nghipondoka-Robiati het hierdie opdatering met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gedeel.

The Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world, spanning 3.6 million square miles. It stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Red Sea in the east. North to south, it extends from the Mediterranean to the Sahel region of Africa. Within its borders are mountains, plains, oases, and dunes taller than skyscrapers. The Sahara is a world of extremes.While the Sahara is famous for sand dunes, only about 25 percent of it is covered by sand. Much of it is made up of gravel plains, rocky plateaus, and mountains. Some of its dunes, like those in Algeria, can rise more than 500 feet high. Other areas are barren rock formations shaped by centuries of wind erosion. The desert is a patchwork of landscapes.The Sahara's mountain ranges include the Ahaggar Mountains in Algeria and the Tibesti Mountains in Chad. These ranges rise dramatically from the desert floor. They are home to some of the highest peaks in the Sahara, including Mount Emi Koussi at over 11,000 feet. Volcanic in origin, these ranges add rugged beauty to the desert. They remind us that the Sahara is geologically alive. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode night we follow a road that runs from the Sahara to the Somme, tracing the story of the French Army of Africa as it marched from the outposts of the empire and into the furnace of trench warfare. With the aid of French Army expert James Taub, we'll examine the nature of this unique force, where it came from, how it was organised, and how it fought on the Western Front and beyond.

I denne episoden av 'Åpne Dører' diskuterer Nicolai Winther og Christine den smertefulle forfølgelsen som skjer i Afrika, spesielt sør for Sahara. Med vekt på 'Søndag for de Forfulgte', deler de historier om tro, håp og utholdenhet midt i motgang. Christine forteller om sitt arbeid som informasjonsrådgiver og viktigheten av å heve stemmene til de som lider. Episoden inkluderer også sterke vitnesbyrd fra kvinner som har opplevd vold og forfølgelse, og hvordan troen på Gud gir dem styrke.

På trods af en amerikansk forhandlet fredsaftale fortsætter kampene i det østlige DR Congo, hvor oprørsgruppen M23 med støtte fra nabolandet Rwanda i januar erobrede millionbyen Goma. Syd for Sahara tager Trumps centralafrikanske fredsaftale til gennemsyn. Programmet er produceret i et samarbejde mellem Danwatch og Radio IIII.

In this episode, I sit down with Mark Campanale, founder of Carbon Tracker and Planet Tracker, best known for introducing one of the most disruptive ideas in climate finance: the carbon bubble.Mark's journey began in his 20s, crossing the Sahara and working in a famine camp, where he first saw how capital, policy, and poverty were deeply linked. After years supporting fair-trade cooperatives in East Africa, he shifted to sustainable finance in London, co-launching the Jupiter Ecology Fund and founding the Social Stock Exchange – until a loss of mission led him to step away. Around that time, he noticed a dangerous blind spot: fossil fuel prospectuses running hundreds of pages mentioned climate change in only a handful of lines. That raised a critical question: how much of the global carbon problem was sitting on corporate balance sheets?No one had run the numbers. So he did.He joined forces with Nick Robins and James Leaton to launch a nonprofit and publish a report – renamed last-minute to Unburnable Carbon.The idea was simple – and terrifying.We have a finite carbon budget if we want to stay under 2°C of warming. But the reserves held by fossil fuel companies – already financed, already capitalized – far exceeded that budget. Mark compared it to a game of musical chairs – but the players were oil majors, national oil companies, and gas producers, all scrambling for the planet's last remaining carbon budget. There aren't enough seats for everyone to win.That meant much of the fossil fuel industry's projected value was based on resources the world couldn't afford to burn. If countries kept their climate promises, those reserves would stay in the ground. And markets weren't ready for that.The report didn't just land. It exploded.Rolling Stone headlined it “Global Warming's Terrifying New Math,” and the term carbon bubble went global. University campaigns launched, the Financial Times ran a feature, and even analysts at JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs called Mark in to brief them.He hadn't meant to start a movement, but once it took off, he knew it needed structure. So he built Carbon Tracker – an independent research group now analyzing over 75 companies, using a traffic-light system to show whether business plans align with the Paris Agreement. Their reports, downloaded tens of thousands of times each month by banks and regulators, speak market language to translate climate risk into financial terms.One of their biggest impacts is that the industry's reserves life has fallen from 50 years to just 23. It didn't happen by accident. It happened because investors stopped believing those reserves would ever be developed.The idea of “stranded assets” has expanded beyond fossil fuels through Planet Tracker, Mark's second initiative applying the same forensic lens to oceans, land use, and natural systems. By following overlooked data, he exposed a deeper conflict between financial markets and the planet's future.Mark is not the loudest voice in the room. But his work has made some of the most powerful institutions take a second look.This is his story.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:Mark Campanale LinkedInMark Campanale Twitter/XCarbon Tracker InitiativePlanet Tracker

Raconter l'Afrique et ses diasporas à travers leurs sons et leurs musiques, c'est l'objectif d'une exposition immersive au Musée d'ethnographie de Genève, en Suisse. Avec plus de 200 œuvres – archives, instruments anciens et installations contemporaines –, Afrosonica. Paysages sonores embarque le public dans un voyage multisensoriel qui met en lumière le son comme vecteur de connexion, de résistance et de changement.

Mo Laudi, artiste multidisciplinaire et DJ sud-africain, est co-commissaire de l'exposition : « "Afrosonica" fait référence à une tradition dans les townships de fusionner des mots pour créer de nouvelles significations. Ici, c'est l'idée que l'Afrique est riche ; les minéraux les plus précieux proviennent du Congo et se retrouvent dans nos téléphones portables ; l'or d'Afrique du Sud orne les Rolex. Et quand vous écoutez du rock and roll, il a ses racines en Afrique, tout comme le hip-hop et le jazz. Aujourd'hui, il y a une fierté à affirmer : "Je suis Africain." Il est essentiel de se souvenir de ces racines pour avancer. » Cet ambassadeur de l'afro-électro présente lui-même une création. Inspirée des peintures murales des maisons d'Afrique du Sud, il y mêle plastique recyclé et chants de travail. Avec l'ethnomusicologue canadienne Madeleine Leclair, conservatrice au MEG, les deux commissaires ont puisé dans les 20 000 heures d'archives du musée et passé commande à sept artistes contemporains pour créer un parcours libre où le son est outil de mémoire, de transmission, de contestation.

Des peintures préhistoriques de harpes du Sahara croisent le chant vaudou du Bénin des années 1960, tandis que la rumba congolaise se frotte aux vinyles d'un jukebox. Le public peut assister à un « bain d'oreilles » au Nigeria et se laisser hypnotiser par le vrombissement d'un rhombe, petit objet en os, en bois ou en ivoire, que l'on fait tournoyer au-dessus de la tête à l'aide d'une ficelle. Madeleine Leclair : « Ces rhombes sont mis en mouvement sur les cinq continents, notamment au Brésil, en Australie également, et en Afrique, ça peut aussi être interprété comme la voix des ancêtres. » Et parfois, il suffit d'un bidon d'huile et d'un câble de frein à vélo pour créer une cithare au Burkina Faso et redonner un sens au son. ► L'exposition Afrosonica.

Amy is a world-renowned author who in 2022 toed the line of the iconic Marathon des Sables. The race planted seeds for a story, one of ultra-running and mystery. In June 2025, 'RUNNER 13' was released. Amy joins the podcast to discuss the book and her MDS story.     Runner 13 is a thriller that drops readers straight into a deadly stage race across the Sahara, echoing the notorious Marathon des Sables in Morocco. McCulloch's own experience running that event shapes every detail - the brutal desert landscape, the psychological toll, and the obsession with endurance that defines the sport. The story follows Adrienne, a once-great ultrarunner forced back into competition, and Stella, daughter of the race's manipulative director, Boones. His events, modelled on real-world extreme events, they aren't designed to be won, but to break runners. Central to the mystery is Runner 13, a symbol of both glory and doom. Told in sharp, cliff-hanging chapters that jump between present and past, the novel feels like Agatha Christie transplanted to the Sahara: a brutal race where survival, not victory, is the prize, and where Morocco's desert becomes both the setting and the trap.

Klimakrisen er ikke kun oversvømmelser og tørker. Det er også en mulighed for at tiltrække investeringer, opfinde løsninger og gentænke forældede strukturer. Sådan lød budskabet på det afrikanske klimatopmøde, der fandt sted i Etiopien i sidste uge. Syd for Sahara taler med klimarådgiver i CARE Denmark, Caroline Thorsen, der deltog på topmødet. Programmet er produceret i et samarbejde mellem Radio IIII og Danwatch.

In this episode of Dem Vinyl Boyz, we dive into the atmospheric depths and emotional complexities of Synchronicity, the final studio album from The Police. Released in 1983, this Grammy-winning record is a masterclass in new wave, post-punk, and pop rock, showcasing the trio—Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland—at the height of their artistic powers and on the verge of implosion. Synchronicity is more than an album—it’s a psychological rollercoaster. Inspired in part by Carl Jung’s theory of meaningful coincidences, the record explores themes of obsession, paranoia, spiritual connection, and disintegration, both personal and societal. From the urgent rhythms of “Synchronicity I” to the eerie unraveling in “Synchronicity II,” and the haunting isolation of “Tea in the Sahara,” the album captures the inner turmoil that mirrored the band’s own fracturing relationships. Of course, we can’t forget the massive hit that defined the '80s—“Every Breath You Take.” Though often mistaken for a love ballad, the song is a chilling meditation on surveillance and control, and it remains one of the most misunderstood and iconic songs in pop history. Recorded at AIR Studios on Montserrat and in Quebec, this was a technological leap for The Police, pushing their sound into more polished, layered production while still capturing the urgency of a band teetering on the edge. Join us as we spin Synchronicity on vinyl, reflect on the legacy of The Police, break down the album track-by-track, and talk about why this might be one of the greatest—and most conflicted—swan songs in rock history.

Kwa mara ya kwanza idadi ya watoto na vijana wa umri wa kwenda shule wenye unene wa kupindukiaau utipwatipwa imezidi idadi ya watoto wenye utapiamlo duniani ikiathiri watoto milioni 188 sawa na mtoto 1 kati ya kila watoto 10 imesema leo ripoti iliyotolewa leo na shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF. Tuungane na Leah Mushi kusikia zaidi kuhusu ripoti hiyo, karibu LeahRipoti hii mpya ya UNICEF iitwayo “Faida kwenye vyakula: Jinsi Mazingira ya Chakula yanavyowaangusha watoto” imechambua takwimu kutoka nchi zaidi ya 190 na kubaini kwamba kiwango cha watoto wenye utapiamlo kimepungua tangu mwaka 2000, lakini wale wenye unene wa kupindukia kimeongezeka mara tatu.Kwa sasa, utipwatipwa umeenea katika kila eneo la dunia isipokuwa Afrika eneo la Kusini mwa Jangwa la Sahara na Asia Kusini. Nchi za visiwa vidogo vya Pasifiki ndizo zinaongoza kwa kuwa na viwango vya juu zaidi, ikiwemo Niue yenye asilimia 38 ya watoto wenye umri wa miaka 5 hadi 19 wakiwa na unene wa kupindukia.Nini kimesababisha?UNICEF inasema mabadiliko ya mifumo ya lishe kutoka vyakula vya asili hadi vyakula vya kutengenezwa kwa haraka na vya bei nafuu lakini vyenye sukari, mafuta na chumvi nyingi ndiyo chanzo kikuu cha ongezeko hili.Pia inatahadharisha kuwa matangazo ya kidijitali ya vinywaji vyenye sukari na vyakula vya viwandani yanawafikia vijana wengi, hata katika nchi zenye migogoro.Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa UNICEF, Catherine Russell, amesema utipwatipwa ni changamoto kubwa  ya kiafya kwa watoto kwa sababu huongeza hatari ya kupata kisukari, shinikizo la damu na magonjwa ya moyo katika maisha ya baadaye.Russell amesema “Tunapozungumza kuhusu utapiamlo, hatuzungumzii tu kuhusu watoto wenye uzito mdogo, utipwatipwa ni changamoto kubwa inayoendelea kuongezeka ambayo inaweza kuathiri afya na maendeleo ya watoto. Vyakula vya viwandani vinazidi kuongezeka na kuchukua nafasi ya matunda, mboga mboga na protini katika wakati ambao lishe ina jukumu muhimu katika ukuaji wa watoto, ukuaji wa utambuzi na afya ya akili.”Nini kifanyike?Ili kukabiliana na hali hii, UNICEF inazitaka serikali kuchukua hatua madhubuti ikiwemo kupiga marufuku uuzaji wa vyakula visivyo na lishe shuleni, kudhibiti matangazo ya vyakula vyenye sukari na mafuta, na kuweka sera za kusaidia familia kupata chakula bora na chenye lishe.Kwa mujibu wa UNICEF, bila hatua za haraka, gharama za kiafya na kiuchumi zitakazotokana na tatizo la utipwatipwa wa utotoni zinatarajiwa kupindukia dola trilioni 4 kila mwaka ifikapo mwaka 2035.Zipo juhudi za kupambana na hali hiyo ambazo zimeanza kuchukuliwa na baadhi ya nchi, mfano mzuri ni Mexico ambayo hivi karibuni imepiga marufuku uuzaji wa vyakula vilivyosindikwa na vile vyenye chumvi, sukari na mafuta mengi katika  maeneo ya shule za umma.

A captivating episode with Yemeni-Egyptian artist Yumna Al-Arashi who discusses her upbringing in Washington D.C., the impact of the 2017 executive order (often referred to as the "Muslim ban") on her family, and how her art explores themes of identity, feminism, sexuality, healing, and human rights, frequently challenging the misrepresentation of Muslim women in Western media. Al-Arashi delves into her projects, including her first solo exhibition in Switzerland "Tears For The Future," her film "99 Names of God," and her powerful book "Aisha," which examines facial tattooing traditions from South Arabia to North Africa and the Sahara. She also shares her thoughts on self-portraits, the discomfort her work can evoke, and the importance of authorship and challenging orientalist desires in art. 0:00 Growing Up Egyptian-Yemeni in Washington D.C.0:09 The 2017 Executive Order and Its Impact0:49 The Salt Project: Healing and the Vulnerability of Movement7:13 Childhood George Bush's America10:04 Growing up in Washington D.C.12:05 Balancing Complexity and Tropes in “99 Names of God”19:09 The Evolution of Resistance in Art21:29 Filming “99 Names of God” in Oman and References to Yemen22:50 Introducing the Book “Aisha”23:55 the Connection Between Al-Arashi's Projects24:50 Reclaiming Narratives and Challenging Colonial History28:20 The Importance of Authorship32:23 The History and Meaning of Facial Tattoos36:58 The Awkwardness and Power of Self-Portraits Yumna Al-Arashi is a Yemeni-Egyptian artist, photographer, filmmaker, and writer born and raised in Washington, D.C.

Whether you're in recovery, supporting a loved one, or seeking inspiration to make real change, this episode offers practical wisdom and motivation. This conversation is a must-listen for those navigating addiction, mental health, self-discovery, or seeking a deeper purpose. Perfect for audiences on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn looking for real stories of transformation and grit. About the GuestMichael Herbert is a seasoned addiction counselor, interventionist, and author of the upcoming book The Recovery Roadmap: A Guide to Freedom and Adventure (releasing September 2). With a career spanning correctional facilities to private coaching, Michael has helped countless individuals and families heal. His philosophy? Recovery isn't just abstinence—it's building a life you love. Key Takeaways Recovery starts with abstinence but doesn't end there—it's about discovering who you are without substances. The first 9 months of sobriety are a phase of discovery, not recovery. Recovery isn't one-size-fits-all: fitness, travel, yoga, journaling, and service work are part of Michael's toolkit—but you must find what works for you. Michael ran 137 miles across the Sahara Desert in Tevas, proving the power of mindset in pushing beyond limits. He encourages reframing success through spiritual flexibility, openness, and inner growth rather than external achievement. Relapse prevention starts with structure, self-trust, and community—don't go it alone. True change comes when we take radical responsibility for our own healing journey and prepare ourselves mentally, physically, and spiritually for life's opportunities.   Connect with the Guest Instagram / LinkedIn / Facebook: Michael Herbert Email: coachmichaelherbert@gmail.com Website: africanhopefulhorizons.org Book Release: The Recovery Roadmap - Launching September 2 Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PodMatch:DM Me Here:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST Tune to all our 19 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind OUR SERVICES Business Podcast Management: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/corporatepodcasting/ Individual Podcast Management: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/Podcasting/ Share Your Story With the World: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/shareyourstory STAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US Medium: https://medium.com/@contentbyavik YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@healthymindbyavik Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymind LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthymindbyavik LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/podhealthclub Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/Avikpodhealth/ SHARE YOUR REVIEW Google Review: https://www.podpage.com/bizblend/reviews/new/ Video Testimonial (featured on website): https://famewall.healthymindbyavik.com/ Tags #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #MentalHealthAwareness #AddictionRecovery #SoberLiving #MindfulnessMatters #StorytellingAsMedicine #PodcastLife #PersonalDevelopment #ConsciousLiving #GrowthMindset #mentalhealth #wellness #traumahealing #healingjourney #fyp #foryoupage #youtube #spotify #motivation #inspiration #podcastinglife #fitnessandhealing #MichaelHerbert #RecoveryRoadmap #adventuretherapy #ultramarathon #SaharaRun #sobrietyjourney #spiritualgrowth #healingtools

This week we talk about the RSF, coups, and the liberal world order.We also discuss humanitarian aid, foreign conflicts, and genocide.Recommended Book: Inventing the Renaissance by Ada PalmerTranscriptIn 2019, a military government took over Sudan, following a successful coup d'état against then-President Omar al-Bashir, who had been in power for thirty years. al-Bashir's latter years were plagued by popular demonstrations against rising costs of living and pretty abysmal living standards, and the government lashed out against protestors violently, before then dissolving local government leaders and their offices, replacing them with hand-picked military and intelligence officers. After he responded violently to yet another, even bigger protest, the military launched their coup, and the protestors pivoted to targeting them, demanding a civilian-run democracy.Just two months later, after unsuccessful negotiations between the new military government and the folks demanding they step aside to allow a civilian government to take charge, the military leaders massacred a bunch civilians who hosted a sit-in protest. Protestors shifted to a period of sustained civil disobedience and a general strike, and the government agreed to hold elections in 2022, three years later, and said that they would investigate the massacre their soldiers committed against those protestors. They also established a joint civilian-military unity government that would run things until the new, civilian government was eventually formed.In late-2021, though, the Sudanese military launched another coup against the unity government, and that council was dissolved, a state of emergency was declared, and all the important people who were helping the country segue back into a democracy were arrested. A new military-only junta was formed, incorporating the two main military groups that were running things, at that point.In 2023, those two military bodies that were working together to run Sudan via this military junta, the Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary group that were made into a sort of official part of the country's military, while remaining separate from it, and the official Sudanese army, both started aggressively recruiting soldiers and taunting each other with military maneuvers. On April 15 that year, they started firing on each other.This conflict stemmed from the Sudanese military demanding that the RSF dissolve itself, all their people integrating into the country's main military apparatus, but some kind of stand-off seemed to be a long time coming, as the RSF started its recruiting efforts earlier that year, and built up its military resources in the capital as early as February. But as I mentioned, this tinderbox erupted into a shooting war in April, beginning in the capital city, Khartoum, before spreading fast to other major cities.So what eventually became a Sudanese civil, which at this point has been ongoing for nearly 2.5 years, began in April of 2023, was long-simmering before that, is between two heavily armed military groups that ran the country together for a few years, and which both claim to be the rightful leaders or owners of the country, and they're fighting each other in heavily populated areas.This war was also kicked off and is now sustained in part by ethnic conflicts between the main belligerents, which includes the aforementioned Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces, but also the Sudan Liberation Movement, which governs a fairly remote and self-sufficient mountainous area in the southern part of the country, and the al-Hilu movement, which supports the RSF's efforts in the region.What I'd like to talk about today is what's happening on the ground in Sudan, in the third year of this conflict, and at a moment when the world's attention seems to have refocused elsewhere, major governments that would have previously attempted to stop the civil war have more or less given up on doing so, and the Sudanese civilians who have been pulled into the conflict, or who have been forced to flee their homes as a consequence of this war, have been left without food, shelter, or any good guys to cheer for.—Sudan has been plagued by coups since it gained independence from the UK and Egypt in 1956; it's seen 20 coup attempts, 7 of them successful, including that most recent one in 2019, since independence.This region also has a recent history of genocide, perhaps most notably in the western Darfur region, where an estimated quarter of a million people from a trio of ethnic groups were killed between 2003 and 2005, alone, and something like 2.7 million people were displaced, forced to flee the systematic killings, strategically applied sexual violence, and other abuses by the Sudanese military and the local, rebel Janjaweed militias, which were often armed by the government and tasked with weeding out alleged rebel sympathizers in the region.This new civil war is on a completely different scale, though. As of April of 2025, two years into the conflict, it's estimated that about 12.5 million people have been displaced, forced from their homes due to everything being burned down or bombed, due to threats from local military groups, killing and assaulting and forcibly recruiting civilians to their cause, and due to a lack of resources, the food and water and shelter all grabbed by these military forces and denied to those who are just trying to live their lives; and that's true of locally sourced stuff, but also humanitarian aide that makes it into the country—it's grabbed by the people with guns, and the people without guns are left with nothing.More than 3.3 million Sudanese people are estimated to have fled the country entirely, and recent figures show that around 25 million people are facing extreme levels of hunger, on the verge of starving to death, including about five million children and their mothers who are essentially wasting away. There are reports of people eating leaves and charcoal, just to get something in their stomachs, and photo evidence of these unmoving crowds of skeletal people who are desperate to get anything, any kind of nutrition at all, any clean water, still make it out of the country, though less and less, as it's becoming more difficult for reporters to make it into and out of the area, safely, and the internet and other communication services, where they're still available, are often shut down.Aid agencies have said that this civil war has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis, and even the US government, which especially right now has been very hesitant to say anything about foreign conflicts, has made it pretty clear that they consider this to be a genocide; there are conscious, intentional, obviously planned efforts to systematically wipe out different ethnic groups, and to cleanse areas of hated political and religious rivals, but this genocide is being carried out at the exact moment that many of the world's major, wealthy governments, which historically would have tried to step in and remedy the situation in some way—often ham-handedly, sometimes by supporting one side or the other to try to gain influence in the region, but almost always by also airdropping food and medical goods and other resources into the area to try to help civilians—these governments are mostly pulling back from those sorts of efforts.Some analysts and regional experts have suggested that this points toward a new normal in the global geopolitical playing field; the so-called liberal world order that helped organize things, that established rules and norms from the end of WWII onward, and which incentivized everyone playing nice with each other, not invading each other, not committing genocide, and focusing on trade over war, is falling apart, the United States in particular deciding to stop funding things, stop participating, deciding to antagonize the allies that helped it maintain this state of affairs, and to basically drop anything that seems to much like a responsibility to people not in the United States. And a lot of other governments are either scrambling to figure out what that means for them, or deciding that they can afford to do something of the same. China, for instance, while stepping in to fill some of those voids, strategically, has also pulled back on some of its humanitarian efforts, because it no longer needs to invest as much in such things to compete with the US, which no longer seems to be competing in that space at all, with rare exceptions.Conflicts in Africa, also with rare exceptions, also just tend to get less attention than conflicts elsewhere, and there are all sorts of theories as to why this might be the case, from simple racism to the idea that areas with more economic potential are more valuable as allies or supplicants, so wealthy nations with the ability to do something will tend to focus their resources on areas that are more strategically vital or wealth-generating, so as to recoup their investment.Whatever the specifics and rationales, though, Sudan has long been conflict-prone, but this civil war seems to be locking the area into a state of total war—where nothing is off the table, and terror against civilians, and to a certain degree wiping out one's enemies completely, salting the earth, killing all the civilians so they can never threaten your force's dominance again, is becoming fundamental to everyone's military strategy—and that state of total war, in addition to be just horrific all by itself, also threatens to roil the rest of the area, including the far more globally integrated and thus well supported and funded Horn of Africa region, which is strategically vital for many nations, due to its adjacency to the Middle East and several vital ports, and the Sahel, which is a strip of land that stretches across the continent, just south of the Sahara desert, and which in modern history has been especially prone to military coups and periods of violence, at times verging on genocide, and which in recent decades has seen a bunch of democratic governments toppled and replaced by military juntas that have done their best to completely disempower all possible future opposition, at times by committing what look a lot like mini-genocides.This conflict, all by itself, then, is already one of the worst humanitarian situations the world has seen, but the confluence of international distraction—much of our attention and the majority of our resources focused on the also horrible situations in Gaza and Ukraine, and the specter of great power competitions that might arise as a result of Ukraine, or of China deciding to invade Taiwan—alongside the pullback from humanitarian funding, and the seeming distaste previously internationally involved entities, like the US and China, now seem to have when it comes to playing peacemaker, or attempted peacemaker, in these sorts of conflicts.All of which would seem to make it a lot more likely that this conflict, and others like it, will continue to play out, and may even reach a scale that permanently scars Sudan and its people, and which possibly even cascades into a series of regional conflicts, some interconnected, and some merely inspired by the brazenness they can clearly see across the border, and the seeming lack of consequences for those committing these sorts of atrocities in order to attain more power and control.Show Noteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darfur_genocidehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_civil_war_(2023%E2%80%93present)https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2025/09/sudan-civil-war-humanitarian-crisis/683563/?gift=201cWZnM2XBz2eP81zy0pG9Zt_k9jZnrEhnY7lvH1ZQhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/08/13/sudan-humanitarian-global-world-order-neglect-conflict/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/world/africa/sudan-usaid-famine.htmlhttps://www.reuters.com/world/africa/world-food-programme-reduce-food-support-sudan-due-funding-shortages-2025-04-25/https://www.eurasiareview.com/25042025-sudan-war-is-a-global-crisis-in-the-making-analysis/https://apnews.com/article/un-sudan-darfur-war-anniversary-paramilitary-government-dbfff6244d935f595fb7649a87a6e073https://newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/sudans-world-warhttps://news.un.org/en/story/2025/04/1162576https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/04/1162096https://reliefweb.int/report/sudan/sudan-situation-map-weekly-regional-update-18-aug-2025https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2wryz4gw7ohttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/opinion/sudan-genocide-famine.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_revolutionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_civil_war_(2023%E2%80%93present)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Sudanese_coup_d%27%C3%A9tathttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudan_People%27s_Liberation_Movement%E2%80%93Northhttps://www.crisisgroup.org/africa/horn-africa/sudan/stopping-sudans-descent-full-blown-civil-warhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coups_d%27%C3%A9tat_in_Sudan This is a public episode.

Disturbo, inceppamento, guasto: questo accade quando della sabbia, reale o in senso figurato, si insinua negli ingranaggi che invece tutti vorremmo ben oliati, silenziosi, efficienti nel loro indefesso e inarrestabile funzionamento.Ma come ci arriva la sabbia negli ingranaggi?Per cause naturali per esempio, magari quando i venti portano verso le nostre latitudini la sabbia dal deserto del Sahara.Oppure per un uso maldestro, inesperto, incauto, sprovveduto, di un meccanismo, di un'istituzione, o addirittura di un istituto ultramillenario come la democrazia.O ancora, qualcuno può spargere sabbia deliberatamente, proprio per produrre un disturbo o un guasto, nel qual caso la domanda che sorge spontanea è: perché? A che scopo? Le possibili azioni volontarie di disturbo che creano battute d'arresto nella vita di singole persone o di piccole o grandi comunità sono innumerevoli. Flavia Foradini ha chiesto a due filosofi, Barbara Bleisch e Konrad Paul Liessmann, direttori del centro internazionale di filosofia Philosophicum Lech, nell'omonima cittadina del Vorarlberg, ma anche a un uomo di teatro come Milo Rau, di riflettere su questo multiforme fenomeno.

A chunk of the planet Mars - the largest ever found on Earth - recently sold for $4.3 million at Sotheby's auction house in New York City. A meteorite hunter first discovered the massive rock in the Sahara desert in Niger in 2023. So how did the meteorite end up at an auction in New York City and why would anyone pay millions of dollars for it? BBC reporter Damian Zane walks us through the rock's mysterious journey — from Mars to New York, via Niger and Italy. He also shares the concerns that Niger's government has about the sale and how Sotheby's has responded. We also hear from Julia Cartwright from the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Leicester. She explains how the market surrounding meteorites can lead to even more discoveries.

Dans IDÉES ce dimanche, Pierre-Edouard Deldique vous propose en quelque sorte une traversée du désert avec son invitée, Marie Gautheron, spécialiste d'histoire de l'art. Dans son livre Désert, déserts, du Moyen-Âge au XXIè siècle (Gallimard), elle propose d'analyser le regard occidental sur le désert avec force images. Marie Gautheron s'interroge dans son livre : « Pourquoi et depuis quand les vastes pays arides fascinent-ils l'Occident ? Ce livre raconte l'histoire sensible, esthétique et politique de nos images de déserts, entre créations et stéréotypes, fantasmes et savoirs positifs. Car l'image du désert n'a pas toujours été celle de ces sables à laquelle nous l'identifions souvent aujourd'hui. Née dans l'Orient judéo-chrétien, c'est d'abord celle, paradoxale, d'une expérience intérieure, et de tout espace abandonné de Dieu et des hommes. L'Occident médiéval la réinvente dans des clôtures ou des lieux d'ascèse et d'isolement, île ou forêt. Au fil des siècles, les déserts affreux de la verte Europe se muent en beaux déserts, tandis qu'un flux croissant d'Occidentaux parcourt les déserts d'Orient. Le vaste pays aride est alors promu paysage – sublime parfois, essentialisé souvent. Dans l'imaginaire hexagonal, la « pacification » du Sahara fait de l'empire du vide un champ de bataille, et une terre où rêver d'altérité. Espaces immersifs d'expériences extrêmes, les déserts sont l'objet d'enjeux géopolitiques majeurs au XXᵉ siècle, et le lieu de mutations radicales. Mondialisées, nos images de déserts s'ouvrent à de nouveaux lieux de mémoire. Figure de déréliction et d'exaltation, icône postmoderne de nos non-lieux, souvent déceptive et plus que jamais paradoxale, l'image du désert prête aux utopies, aux dystopies, et résonne encore d'antiques rémanences. » Elle en parle avec passion dans ce nouveau numéro d'IDÉES le magazine qui interroge ceux qui pensent le monde. Programmation musicale : Maurice Jarre - Ouverture du film Lawrence d'Arabie Ahman Pejman - Ecstasy ; Sunset Félicien David (musique), Auguste Colin (paroles) - Ode-Symphonie Le désert Yazz Ahmed - La Saboteuse Vladimir Spivakov, Sergej Bezrodny - Spiegel im Spiegel (Miroir dans le miroir)Compositeur : Arvö Part

Hablamos sobre el alerta de calor sofocante en la República Dominicana. El Instituto Dominicano de Meteorología informó que se prevén cielos soleados, poco nubosos y de aspecto grisáceo, así como un clima muy caluroso en gran parte del país. Esto se debe a la interacción de un sistema anticiclónico y partículas de polvo del Sahara, lo que limitará la formación de nubes y lluvias importantes. Las temperaturas máximas estarán entre 33 y 35 grados Celsius, por lo que se recomienda a la población mantenerse hidratada, vestir ropa ligera y evitar la exposición prolongada al sol. #CalorSofocante #RepúblicaDominicana #Indomet #SistemAnticiclónico #PartículasSahara #TemperaturasAltasConviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/radio-ebenezer-rd-emisora-cristiana--3279340/support.

cautioned.Nl: Sanne poetste zweet van haar voorhoofd en keek peinzend in de verte.En: Sanne wiped sweat from her forehead and gazed pensively into the distance.Nl: Hun grootste test kwam sneller dan

What if the world's largest rainforest became a savanna? The Sahara was once lush. Could the Amazon face a similar fate within a generation?  Deforestation isn't just about trees. It's also about changing global weather patterns. Understanding environmental feedback loops is key to preparing for our future.

C'est à la Une de nombreux sites d'information maliens ce matin. Onze photographies un peu floues, dont celle d'un homme blanc, photos dont on peut penser qu'elles ont été prises après l'arrestation de ce petit groupe accusé de conspiration. « Tentative de déstabilisation : des noms révélés à la télévision nationale », titre Sahel Tribune, qui ajoute : « Bamako brise le silence : des officiers, des civils et un ressortissant français sont arrêtés pour tentative de fragilisation de la Transition. Un coup de filet qui en dit autant sur la fermeté du pouvoir que sur le climat de défiance ambiant ». « Parmi les personnes arrêtées », précise Bamada.net, figure « un ressortissant français présenté comme agissant pour le compte d'un service de renseignement français. Il est accusé d'avoir mobilisé des responsables politiques, des acteurs de la société civile et des militaires, dont les généraux de brigade Abass Dembélé et Nema Sagara ». Notons d'ailleurs que Nema Sagara est la seule femme figurant sur les photographies publiées hier. Quant au gouvernement, précise le Journal du Mali, « il affirme que la situation est maîtrisée et que l'enquête se poursuit pour identifier d'éventuels complices ». Animaux brûlés vifs Dans l'actualité africaine également : des incendies monstres dans le nord du Maroc. « Un vaste incendie ravage actuellement la forêt d'Amelay, située dans la province de Chefchaouen », annonce Africanews. « De puissantes colonnes de fumée s'élèvent au-dessus de la région, tandis que les flammes dévorent des hectares de végétation, attisées par des vents violents et des températures caniculaires (…) les autorités ont ordonné l'évacuation des habitations les plus proches, par mesure de sécurité. Les habitants ont décrit des scènes de panique et des flammes d'une intensité sans précédent ». Des habitants dont l'hebdomadaire marocain Tel Quel publie des témoignages. Mohamed Darraz, un agriculteur de 32 ans raconte : « Notre vie a basculé. Le feu a tout emporté (…) Certains animaux ont été brûlés vifs dans leurs enclos. Nous avons essayé de nous entraider, mais face à un tel incendie et au vent, c'était presqu'impossible ». Hier soir, le feu était circonscrit selon les autorités marocaines. Mais la prudence reste de mise. Tel Quel rappelle que « le Maroc est frappé par une sécheresse persistante depuis 2018, et subit actuellement une intense vague de chaleur accompagnée par le chergui, vent chaud et sec venu du Sahara, qui complique les opérations de secours ».  Nous nous sommes retrouvés à l'eau À la Une également, un nouveau naufrage de migrants au large de l'île de Lampedusa, en Italie. « 27 morts, des dizaines de disparus » titre Africanews qui raconte : « Le bateau, parti de Libye, a chaviré à environ 20 kilomètres, au sud-ouest de l'île sicilienne. Parmi les soixante survivants, figurent des mineurs originaires du Pakistan, d'Egypte, de Somalie et du Soudan ». « Les recherches se poursuivaient hier » ajoute Média 24. Le journal marocain cite le témoignage d'une Somalienne, « qui a perdu son fils et son mari ». Elle a expliqué au journal italien Il Corriere della Sera « qu'elle avait son fils dans ses bras et son mari à ses côtés. Je ne sais pas comment, nous nous sommes retrouvés à l'eau. Les vagues les ont emportés tous les deux ».   Selon l'OIM, l'Organisation Internationale pour les Migrations, ce sont au total deux bateaux qui étaient parti de Tripoli, à l'aube, avec environ 95 personnes répartie sur deux embarcations. « Mais après que l'un des deux bateaux a pris l'eau, les passagers ont grimpé sur l'autre, qui a chaviré sous la surcharge », explique l'OIM. Selon le HCR, le Haut-commissariat des Nations unies pour les réfugiés, « plus de 700 personnes ont déjà perdu la vie cette année »,  en tentant de traverser la Méditerranée.
