Interview with Gavin Ferrar, CEO of Central Asia MetalsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/central-asia-metals-lsecaml-beats-cash-forecasts-pays-dividends-9808Recording date: 12th June 2026Central Asia Metals (CAML) has announced the proposed acquisition of ASX-listed Cygnus Metals in an all-share transaction aimed at strengthening its project pipeline and adding a development-stage asset to its portfolio. The deal, expected to complete in September, will see Cygnus shareholders receive approximately 0.06 CAML shares per share, resulting in ownership of about 30% of the combined entity, with existing CAML shareholders retaining 70%. The structure preserves CAML's debt-free balance sheet and allows continued funding of operations, exploration, and dividends.The acquisition centers on the Chibougamau copper-gold project in Quebec, Canada, a brownfield asset comprising five deposits and an existing processing facility. Under Cygnus's ownership, the project's measured and indicated resource increased by 78% to 6.4 million tonnes at roughly 3% copper equivalent, with over 8 million tonnes of inferred resources and significant exploration potential across an 18-kilometre strike length. Existing infrastructure, including an idle mill and permitted tailings facilities, is expected to reduce development costs and timelines compared to a greenfield project.CAML plans to advance the project through an updated preliminary economic assessment followed by a feasibility study, targeting a construction decision within four to five years. The company intends to leverage its operational and tailings management expertise from its Sasa mine, while retaining Cygnus's local management team and community relationships to support permitting and development.Strategically, the acquisition fills a long-standing gap between CAML's exploration assets and producing operations in Kazakhstan and North Macedonia. These existing mines are performing strongly, supporting ongoing dividends of 30–50% of free cash flow. The transaction also reflects a broader industry trend of larger, cash-generative miners acquiring development-stage assets from smaller explorers to unlock value and accelerate project timelines.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/central-asia-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode of Elixir Wizards, hosts Charles Suggs and Emma Whamond sit down with Saša Jurić, Elixir mentor and author of Elixir in Action, to discuss software craftsmanship in the age of AI. As AI coding tools become increasingly capable, Saša argues that the real challenge isn't generating code, it's maintaining quality, clarity, and shared understanding within a codebase. We explore the difference between correct code and good code, and why code is more than a set of instructions for a machine to execute. Code is also documentation, communication, and a long-term investment that future developers must be able to understand and maintain. Saša shares his concerns about the growing "theater of pull requests," where teams go through the motions of code review without creating meaningful opportunities for learning, feedback, or knowledge sharing. The hosts and Saša talk about practical ways to work effectively with AI, including taking smaller steps, carefully reviewing AI-generated code, and using AI as a collaborative tool rather than an autonomous developer. Throughout the discussion, Saša challenges the industry's obsession with speed and makes the case that the principles of good software development (incremental progress, clear communication, and human judgment) remain important in the age of AI. Key Topics Discussed The difference between correct code and good code Code as communication, documentation, and shared understanding The "theater of pull requests" and ineffective review practices How AI is changing software development workflows Using AI as a collaborator rather than a replacement Why smaller, incremental changes lead to better outcomes Human oversight in AI-assisted development Balancing development speed with maintainability Pull request size and review effectiveness Commit history as a tool for storytelling and context The risks of accumulating technical debt faster with AI Testing and validating AI-generated code Refactoring AI-generated solutions for clarity Applying agile principles to AI-assisted workflows The role of experience and judgment in software design Why software craftsmanship still matters in the age of AI Links mentioned Code Complete by Steve McConnell https://khmerbamboo.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/code-complete-2nd-edition-v413hav.pdf Harness AI for DevOps, Testing, and AppSec https://www.harness.io/ Claude Code https://claude.com/product/claude-code Claude Code GitHub https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code Pull Request for Oban https://github.com/oban-bg/oban/pull/331 SMPP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Message_Peer-to-Peer OpenAI Codex https://chatgpt.com/codex/ Opus AI https://opus.ai/ Tidewave https://tidewave.ai/ Credo Static Code Analysis https://github.com/rrrene/credo https://smartlogic.io/podcast/elixir-wizards/s11-e09-static-code-analyzer-elixir-credo-ruby-rubocop/ Link to Sasa's X post https://x.com/sasajuric/status/2029522378196238503 Saša Jurić “Tell Me A Story” at Goatmire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOrKfCs-mr0 https://meks.quest/blogs/the-theatre-of-pull-requests-and-code-review Looks Good to Me: Constructive Code Reviews by Adrienne Braganza https://www.manning.com/books/looks-good-to-me Towards Maintainable Elixir: Testing https://medium.com/very-big-things/towards-maintainable-elixir-testing-b32ac0604b99 TDD, Where Did It All Go Wrong (Ian Cooper) https://youtu.be/EZ05e7EMOLMSpecial Guest: Saša Jurić.

Interview with Gavin Ferrar, CEO of Central Asia Metals Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/central-asia-metals-lsecaml-kazakhstan-copper-producer-reports-solid-financial-performance-6938Recording date: 31st March 2026Central Asia Metals PLC, an AIM-listed base metals producer with a $400 million market capitalization, delivered robust 2025 financial results while navigating a critical transition from mature assets to new growth opportunities.The company reported $230 million in revenue and $103 million in EBITDA, generating $56 million in free cash flow. This enabled a 12 pence per share dividend representing a 7% yield—paid at the maximum end of its 30-50% free cash flow distribution policy. The company also completed a $10 million share buyback before market weakness reduced valuations by 20-30% across the mining sector.Central Asia Metals' financial backbone remains the Kounrad copper operation in Kazakhstan, which operates at exceptional 75% EBITDA margins. The facility processes 600 million tons of Soviet-era waste dumps through heap leaching, producing 13,300 tons of copper cathode in 2025. While production guidance moderates to 12,000-13,000 tons for 2026 as leach curves naturally decline after 14 years of operation, the site has consistently outperformed expectations with 13-14% higher copper recovery than forecast. This track record supports management's pursuit of license extension beyond the current 2034 expiration date.The company's SASA lead-zinc mine in North Macedonia faced significant challenges in 2024 due to unexpected geological complexity at depth. Management implemented comprehensive restructuring including an 11% workforce reduction, enhanced geological monitoring, new mining methods, and strategic hedging of 50% of zinc production. Fourth quarter 2025 showed marked improvement, enabling raised guidance for 2026.Looking forward, Central Asia Metals pursues dual-track growth through early-stage exploration across six Kazakhstan licenses and acquisition of pre-feasibility stage development assets trading at 0.25x net asset value. CEO Gavin Ferrar emphasized the company's proven construction and operational expertise as competitive advantages in advancing acquired projects while maintaining financial flexibility through a clean balance sheet and disciplined capital allocation.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/central-asia-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Önce soykırıma uğratıldılar. Evleri, şehirleri, mezarları, yaşama dair ellerinde ne varsa yok edildi. Babaları, oğulları, anaları ve özellikle bebekleri sistematik olarak şehit edildi. 21. yüzyılın en vahşi, en barbar saldırılarına maruz kaldılar. Evleri mezarlara döndü. Çocukları toprağa döndü.

#272: Josie sits down with the hosts of The Glow Job Podcast, Julia & Sasa, to pull back the curtain on the business, psychology, and economics behind the beauty industry. They dive into the surprising truths about the products we use every day: how pricing really works, why buzzwords like “clinically proven” and “dermatologist tested” might not mean what you think, and how influencer marketing and luxury packaging shape what ends up in our routines. But this conversation goes deeper than skincare. They also explore the cultural and economic power of beauty—from the “pink tax” to the way appearance impacts women's careers—and why beauty deserves to be taken just as seriously as industries like sports, tech, or finance.

Katika awamu ya kwanza tuliangazia uluhimu wa maeneo ya ardhi poevu katika mazingira, ikiwa ni pamoja na kutumika kama makazi ya aina tofauti ya spishi ya viumbe hai lakini pia ni mazalia ya samaki. Sasa ardhioevu ya Ondiri ni nyumbani kwa zaidi ya spishi 90 za ndege, Kwa mfano, tulifanikiwa kumuona ndege aina ya Korongo ambao mara nyingi wao hutoroka katika ardhioevu ambayo mazingira yake yamechafuliwa. 

Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa Chakula na Kilimo (FAO) kwa ufadhili wa Muungano wa Ulaya (EU) kupitia mradi wa Maisha Himilivu kwa Mabadiliko ya Tabianchi CLIMB unaolenga kuongeza uzalishaji wa chakula na kuimarisha lishe, limeanza kubadilisha maisha ya wakulima nchini Somalia, hasa katika maeneo ya Kismayo, Marka na Jowhar yaliyokuwa yameathiriwa kwa muda mrefu na ukame na mvua zisizotabirika. FAO imekarabati zaidi ya kilomita 300 za mifereji ya umwagiliaji ili kurejesha upatikanaji wa maji katika mashamba na kwa jamii, hatua inayolenga kuongeza uzalishaji wa chakula na kuimarisha ustahimilivu wa wakazi wa maeneo haya kame nchini Somalia. Wakulima wanasema wameanza kuona matumaini mapya kwani mradi huu wa CLIMB umeboresha maisha yao. Nuur Mukhtar Mohamed ni mmoja wao, anasema uhaba wa maji katika Mto Jordan ulikuwa umeathiri vibaya shughuli za kilimo.Akifafanua anasema, “hapo awali tulikumbana na changamoto kubwa kwa sababu Mto Juba uko chini kuliko mashamba yetu, hali iliyofanya umwagiliaji kuwa mgumu sana. Hata hivyo, mfereji mpya ulioinuliwa umeleta mabadiliko makubwa katika maisha yetu.”Kwa mujibu wa wakulima wengine, maboresho hayo yameleta unafuu mkubwa katika shughuli za kilimo na maisha ya kila siku. Akiwa shambani, Sadiyo Sheikh Ali, mkulima kutoka kijiji cha Bulo Bartire, anaeleza kwamba,“Kabla ya mfereji huu, maji yalikuwa haba sana kiasi cha kusababisha migogoro baina ya wakulima. Sasa hali imeimarika na tuna matumaini mapya. Tumeanza kupata utulivu wa akili.”Mbali na ukarabati wa mifereji, FAO pia inawapatia wakulima mbegu bora na kuwawezesha kuanzisha vikundi vya Akiba na Mikopo vya Kijiji (VSLA), vinavyosaidia kukuza kipato na kuimarisha mshikamano wa kijamii.Akizungumzia umuhimu wa vikundi hivyo, Yusuf Abdisalam Yusuf, Mkuu wa Kikundi cha Midinimo kutoka Goobweyn, amesema “tumeunda kikundi hiki ili kushirikiana na kusaidiana katika shughuli za kilimo na maisha kwa ujumla, bila kujali ukubwa wa msaada.”Mifereji iliyokarabatiwa sasa inaendelea kufufua matumaini na kuleta fursa mpya za kipato katika eneo la Jubaland. Hata hivyo, wakulima wanasisitiza kuwa bado kuna haja ya kuongezewa pembejeo, msaada wa kifedha na mafunzo endelevu ili kuhakikisha jamii zinaendelea kustawi. 

Sasa umewadia wasaa wa kujifunza Kiswahili hii leo, mtaalam wetu Onni Sigalla, Mhariri Mwandamizi wa Baraza la Kiswahili la Taifa nchini Tanzania, BAKITA. Anafafanua maana ya neno "NYAPANYAPA" katika muktadha wa uwindaji.Bwana Sigalla anasema "nyapanyapa ni tabia ya mwindaji ambayo anatembea kwa kunyata sana, pole pole ili asisikike wakati anawinda.Anakuwa ananyemelea. Lengo ni kuhakikisha anamsogelea mnyama ama kumshika au kuweza kuwinda mnyama vizuri."

Tangu kuanza kwa vita huko Mashariki ya Kati baada ya Israel na Marekani kuishambulia Iran mnamo tarehe 28 Februari na kisha Iran kujibu mashambulizi, wasiwasi umekuwa ukiongezeka kuhusu kupanda kwa bei za mafuta na bidhaa nyingine. Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Maendeleo na Biashara UNCTAD linafuatilia kwa karibu hali inayoendelea na kutoa takwimu na uchambuzi ili kuzisaidia serikali na wadau wengine waweze kujipanga na kuratibu vyema mambo yao hususan yanayohusiana na usafiri wa baharini.Katikati ya vita hii inayoendelea Mashariki ya Kati kuna suala la mlango bahari wa Hormuz, hili ni eneo muhimu sana lililopo Iran ambako takriban robo ya mafuta yote duniani, meli zake hupita hapo. Bidhaa nyingine muhimu zinazopita hapo ni gesi asilia na mbolea. Ingawa mlango bahari wa Hormuz haujafungwa rasmi, lakini umewekewa vikwazo vikali, huku kukiwa na mashambulizi mengi ya Iran dhidi ya meli tangu vita vilipozuka siku 26 zilizopita. Akizungumza na Idhaa ya Umoja wa Mataifa, Mkuu wa Kitengo cha Masuala ya Uchumi wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Maendeleo na Biashara UNCTAD Frida Youssef anaanza kwa kutueleza hali ilivyokuwa kabla ya vita.“Kabla tu ya mzozo, tunapoangalia wastani wa idadi ya meli kwa siku zilizokuwa zikipitia Hormuz, ilikuwa karibu meli 129, 130 na katika wiki mbili zilizopita, ilikuwa karibu meli mbili hadi saba kwa siku.”Kwa lugha nyingine upungufu ni takriban asilimia 95. Je ni maeneo gani yameathirika zaidi? “Usafirishaji wa mbolea unaathirika pamoja na bei ya uzalishaji, kwa mfano, mbolea za nitrojeni ambazo hutegemea sana gesi. Kwa hivyo, hii inabadilisha tena kuwa ni athari kwenye kilimo ambayo baadaye itaonekana kwenye kupanda kwa bei ya chakula.” UN News/Daniel DickinsonKufungwa kwa mlangobahari wa Hormuz kunaathiri biashara kwa kiwango cha kimataifa.Akiendea na tathmini yake Mkuu huyo wa Kitengo cha Masuala ya Uchumi wa UNCTAD anasema hivi sasa bei za mafuta zimepanda.“Tumeona bei ya mafuta yanayotumika katika vyombo vya usafiri baharini ikiongezeka maradufu. Hii pia inaathiri gharama ya usafiri, si tu kwasababu bei ya mafuta imepanda bali pia bei, kwa mfano, ya bima. Malipo ya bima ya vita yameongezeka, katika baadhi ya maeneo imeongezeka mara nne.”UNCTAD inaendelea kufuatilia na kutoa taarifa kwa serikali na wadau kwani vita hii inayoendelea inaathari kwa kila mtu lakini nchi zenye uchumi mdogo ndio zitakazo athirika zaidi kwani zinauwezo mdogo zaidi wa kuvumilia mshtuko huu wa kiuchumi na ndio zitakazohisi athari zake kwa nguvu zaidi. “Inaathiri usafiri, inaathiri nishati, inaathiri chakula na pia inaongeza gharama na upatikanaji ni mgumu. Kwa hivyo, haya yote kwa pamoja yanakuwa na athari kwenye uchumi wa umma katika nchi, pamoja na gharama za maisha kwa kaya.”

Israël et les États-Unis poursuivent leur guerre contre l'Iran. L'armée israélienne mène aussi une offensive dans le sud-Liban, contre le Hezbollah, allié du régime de Téhéran. Des dizaines de milliers de Libanais ont dû fuir les combats. De l'autre côté de la frontière, les Israéliens se retrouvent eux aussi, encore une fois, en première ligne, deux ans après la dernière guerre avec le Liban. Notre envoyé spécial en Israël est allé à leur rencontre, à quelques kilomètres du front. De notre envoyé spécial en Israël, Johanna nous emmène dans son sous-sol. Un abri y a été aménagé. Son mamad – nom donné à ce genre d'abri – est devenu l'une des pièces principales de la maison. « Ici, dorment mon mari et mon fils », montre Johanna. Nous sommes à Ma'alot, une petite ville à seulement sept kilomètres de la frontière. La menace est très proche. Les alertes aériennes sonnent plusieurs fois par jour. « On a celle des tirs qui viennent du Liban et là, on a une alerte directement et il faut tout de suite se mettre à l'abri. Le délai, c'est zéro seconde. Et on a les alertes des tirs qui viennent d'Iran. Et là, on a un avertissement. » Une guerre pour « finir le travail » Prise entre deux feux, cette professeure d'hébreu, mère de quatre enfants, en a vu d'autres : « Il y a une espèce de sensation "encore une fois", et en même temps, on est peut-être plus à même de réagir correctement. On est moins dans la panique, on fait tout de suite ce qu'il faut. Les enfants, ils le prennent, ils le gèrent mieux. » Mieux préparée mais aussi plus inquiète pour l'avenir, Johanna soutient quand même la guerre pour « finir le travail ». « Je ne crois pas qu'il n'y ait aucune intervention extérieure qui ait jamais été faite que par des motivations très altruistes, etc. Mais on ne peut pas nier quand même que ça soit nécessaire de le faire. Et là tout de suite, je soutiens entièrement ce qui est en train d'être fait », appuie-t-elle.

Miongoni mwa utakayo yasikia hii leo jaridani ni mzozo huko Mashariki ya Kati baada ya Israel na Marekani kuishambulia Iran na kisha Iran kujibu mashambulizi. Sasa nchi jirani nazo zimeathirika ikiwemo Lebanon ambapo sasa UNHCR inatoa msaada kwa wananchi. Zikiwa ni siku chache kabla ya Siku ya wanawake duniani tarehe 08 Machi, leo utasikilia simulizi ya mwanamke aliyekuwa akifanyiwa ukatili na mume wake na msaada aliopokea kutoka WLAC. Katika masuala hayo hayo ya wanawake tutasikia wanawake wa Masrabit wanavyoelimisha wenzao kukataa ukeketaji kupitia mradi wa UNFPA nchini Kenya

Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Idadi ya watu na Afya ya Uzazi UNFPA nchini Kenya kwa kushirikiana na Muungano wa Ulaya wanatekeleza mradi wa kukomesha ukeketaji ambapo waathirika wanatumika kutoa elimu kwa mabinti na jamii ili kuondokana na mila hiyo potofu. Kaunti ya Marsabit , iliyoko Kaskazini mwa nchi ya Kenya, iko mpakani na nchi ya Ethiopia. Kaunti hii ambayo ni ya pili kwa ukubwa nchini Kenya baada ya ile ya Turkana wakazi wake wengi ni wafugaji, na mbali na changamoto za mabadiliko ya tabianchi wanawake wa hapa wamepitia masahibu ya ukeketaji au kwa lugha ya kiingerza Female genital mutilation (FGM). Audio fileShirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Idadi ya Watu na Afya ya Uzazi, (UNFPA) chini ya Ufadhili kutoka Muungano wa Ulaya nchini Kenya wanatekeleza mradi uitwao Komesha FGM SASA Kila muathirika wa ukeketaji anayo hadithi ya kusimulia na ndio maana kwa namna ya kipekee mradi huu unawatumia waathirika hao, kuwaelimisha wanajamii wenzao ili kuondokana na tamaduni ya ukeketaji. Prisca Lekuraki ni mmoja wao. “Mimi nilipitia magumu sana, baada ya kukeketwa nilipata shida sana, ni Mungu ndio amenisaidia mpaka nimefika hapa. Nilipoenda kujifungua mtoto wangu wa kwanza nilipata shida sana, kila nikienda kuzaa nikawa napitia shida sana, sasa hivi nina watoto watatu na nikajifunga nisizae tena. Niliona vile nimeumia nikasema siwezi kukubali binti yangu naye aumie hivyo. Na hiyo ndio ilinifanya niamke niungane na wengine kuhamasisha kukataa ukeketaji.”Ameongeza kuwa katika tamaduni zao wanamila nyingi nzuri sana na wanaweza kuziendeleza na kuachana na hii mila moja ya ukeketaji kwani ni mbaya na inamadhara. Prisca amepongeza mradi wa Komesha FGM SASA wa UNFPA kwa kuwasaidia kuwafikia wale ambao awali ilikuwa ni vigumu kuzungumza nao.“Kuna mahali wametufikisha na tumeona mafanikio, hapo awali tulikuwa tunaweza kwenda kwa wamama, vijana na watoto ila wale watu ambao ilikuwa inatushinda kuwafikia ilikuwa ni wazee. Lakini hii kukutana na wazee, wamama na wanakijiji kwa ujumla imesaidia, kwasababu nilikutana na wakina mama wakaniambia ile kitu mlikuwa mnasema tumeona ni uhalisia na tumeona inaweza kufanyika.”Mwingine aliyeathirika na ukeketaji ni Nasarai Learo anasema ukeketaji umechukua nguvu zake.“Mimi sina nguvu kama yule mama ambaye hajakeketwa, nilienda kuwaambia wamama wasikekete watoto wao, lakini wakaniambia wananifahamu na nilipoolewa nilkuwa mdogo sana na wao ndio walionishika nikatetetwe nikiwa mdogo. Lakini mimi niliwaeleza mimi sikuwa najua hiki kitu ni kibaya lakini sasa hivi nimekuwa na elimu na nimejua ubaya wake.”Nasarai anaamini kuwa iwapo jamii itapata elimu basi itabadilika“Jamii yetu sanasana haina elimu, tukiona jamii yetu watu wachache ndio wamesoma na wengi wakisoma watapata hiyo elimu zaidi na watakuja kuikomesha FGM. Mimi naamini kwamba miaka 10 inayokuja mambo ya kukeketa wasichana hatutasikia tena.” Elimu ya kutokomeza ukeketaji inatolewa katika maeneo mbalimbali ikiwemo masokoni, katika vikao vya jumuiya na mashuleni.

Dr. Sasa joins us with firsthand accounts of the “systematic” persecution of Christians that much of the world is ignoring — and why action matters now. LAST THING: 2 Timothy 3:12 — A reminder that those who seek to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will face persecution — but they are not alone. PRAY WITH US!

In this episode of the Let's Talk About Real Estate podcast, I'm joined by Sasa Peci from All Properties Group in Browns Plains, Queensland. Sasa arrived in Australia as a refugee in 1998 with nothing but a strong work ethic and a determination to build a life. Seven years into his real estate career, he is now one of Logan's top performing agents. In just his second year in real estate, Sasa achieved $940,000 in GCI. According to REA data, he sold 127 properties in the past 12 months, with an average of just 13 days on market. What truly sets Sasa apart is his people-first mindset. His success is built on discipline, consistency, and mastering the fundamentals, even when no one is watching. In this conversation, we cover: What agents misunderstand about working in competitive and non-glamour markets What really separates top performers from the rest How Sasa stays disciplined on the days motivation is low The habits and systems he protects as volume increases How his prospecting and follow-up have evolved over time What actually wins listings before sitting at the table How he handles rejection, setbacks, and high-pressure moments The advice he would give agents who feel stuck or are questioning the industry This episode is a must-listen for real estate agents who want real insight into what it actually takes to build sustainable success in this business.

Idadi ya watu waliofurushwa makwao nchini Msumbiji kutokana na mafuriko yaliyosababishwa na mvua kubwa zilizoanza kunyesha katikati ya mwezi uliopita wa Desemba inakaribia 400,000 hali inayoongeza hatari kubwa katika fursa ya kuwapatia ulinzi na huduma zinazohitajika. Limesema shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia wakimbizi, UNHCR kama anavyosimulia Flora Nducha.

Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya ulimwenguni, WHO, limeongoza uhamishwaji wa wagonjwa kutoka Gaza eneo la Palestina linalokaliwa kimabavu na Israeli, ikiwa ni  mara ya kwanza tangu kuanza kwa awamu mpya ya kusitishwa kwa mapigano kwenye  ukanda huo.Katika muda wa siku mbili, wagonjwa 41 waliokuwa katika hali mbaya pamoja na familia zao 145 wamehamishwa kutoka eneo la mgogoro, kuelekea Afrika Kusini, Uswisi na kwingineko, huku maelfu zaidi wakiendelea kusubiri matibabu ya dharura.Katika hospital iliyojengwa kwa mahema  katika eneo la AL-MAWASI, RAFAH kwenye Ukanda wa Gaza wagonjwa wakihudumiwa kila kona watoto kwa wakubwa Miongoni mwao ni Ibrahim Abu Ashiba, mkurugenzi wa filamu ambaye maisha yake yamebadilika ghafla. Anakumbuka wakati alipojeruhiwa. Anasema, "Nilipigwa risasi mara kadhaa, mara moja kwenye kifua, mara moja kwenye bega, mara mbili mkononi. Risasi hizo mbili zilikata mishipa ya neva ya mkono wangu. Sasa siwezi kushika kamera wala kunyoosha mkono wangu kawaida. Ghafla, maisha yangu yote yalisimama."Safari ya kupona kwa Ibrahim inaanzia Afrika Kusini, ambapo amekubaliwa kwenda kupokea matibabu maalum ambapo anasema "Maisha yangu yote yalikuwa yamesimama baada ya kujeruhiwa hadi waliponipigia simu na kunijulishakwamba nitasafiri kwenda Afrika Kusini kwa matibabu. Ilionekana kama nimezaliwa upya."Mgonjwa mwingine katika hospitali hii ni, Maria Al-Shaer, alijeruhiwa vibaya katika mashambulizi yaliyokuwa yakiendelea Gaza, huku akipoteza ndugu zake. Mama yake, Raghda Ahmed Al Shaer, anaelezea mateso hayo. "Maria amepoteza baba yake na ndugu zake wote. Alijeruhiwa na kuvunjika mguu, mifupa na kupoteza nyama. Anahitaji upasuaji wa kuwekewa viungo bandia. Maisha yake yamegeuka, hawezi kutembea, na hali yake ya kisaikolojia imeathirika sana."Uhamishwaji huu umeratibiwa na Shirikisho la Chama cha Msalaba Mwekundu Palestina, kwa msaada wa WHO. Dkt. Luca Pigozzi, Mratibu wa Timu ya Dharura ya WHO, anafafanua umuhimu wake."Huu ni uhamishaji wa kwanza wa matibabu tangu kusitishwa kwa mapigano Oktoba 10. Tumejizatiti kuongeza uwezo wetu kusaidia na kuratibu uhamishaji kwa ajili ya matibabu, kwa ushirikiano wa karibu na Shirikisho la chama cha Msalaba Mwekundu la Palestina."Raghda anaeleza matumaini kwa ajili ya binti yake wanapohama kwenda Uswisi. "Wametupigia kutuarifu kwamba Maria amekubaliwa kusafiri kwenda Uswisi kwa matibabu. Tumefurahi sana kwamba atatembea tena, na hali yake ya kisaikolojia itaboreka. Atarudi kuwa Maria wa kawaida kama tuliyemjua."WHO inasisitiza kuwa wagonjwa takriban 15,000 bado wanangojea idhini ya kupata matibabu nje ya Gaza na inatoa wito kwa nchi zote kufungua milango yote za dharura kwa ajili ya uokoaji wa wagonjwa.

Mnamo mwaka wa 2021, Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Elimu, Sayansi na Utamaduni (UNESCO) liliongeza kwenye orodha ya turathi za dunia za tamaduni zisizoshikika au kugusika, Pooja Durga ambayo ni sherehe kubwa ya kihindu ya ushindi wa mungu wa kike aitwaye Durga dhidi ya jini Mahishasura, ikiwa ni ishara ya ushindi wa mema dhidi ya maovu.

Tarehe kama ya leo, 18 Septemba mwaka 2021 dunia ilishitushwa na kuhuzunishwa na tangazo lililotolewa la uongozi wa Taliban nchini Afghanistan la kukataza wasichana barubaru kuendelea na masomo na kwamba darasa la sita ndio mwisho wa elimu yao. Sasa ni miaka minne na katazo hilo bado limesimama kitu ambacho Umoja wa Mataifa umeeleza kuwa ni “moja ya dhulma kubwa za wakati wetu.”  Leah Mushi na taarifa zaidi.

Huduma za afya ni tete.Kupitia mradi wa SCRALA uliowezeshwa na  shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa  la mpango wa maendeleo, UNDP, wakulima wadogo nchini Zambia sasa wanaweza kulima mwaka mzima kwa kutumia miundombinu inayostahimili mabadiliko ya tabianchi kama vile mifumo ya umwagiliaji na vituo vya ukusanyaji mazao, jambo linalochangia kuongezeka kwa tija na upatikanaji wa masoko.Mwenyeji wako ni Assumpta Massoi, karibu!

Kaunti ya Kirinyaga, iliyoko katikati mwa nchi ya Kenya kaskazini mwa mji mkuu wa nchi hiyo, Nairobi, inashuhudia mageuzi mapya katika sekta ya kilimo kupitia mradi wa kuwahusisha vijana  katika kilimo na lishe unaojulikana kama EKYAN. Mradi huu unatekelezwa kwa ushirikiano kati ya Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto UNICEF, na wadau nchini humo.  Karibu Sabrina Saidi utupe taarifa zaidi.....(TAARIFA YA SABRINA SAIDI)Mradi wa EKYAN ni mfano wa ujasiriamali wa kilimo unaoongozwa na vijana, ukiwa na lengo la kutengeneza fursa za ajira, kuwanufaisha na kubadilisha maisha ya vijana walioko vijijini, kupitia mbinu bora za kilimo na lishe, ukitekelezwa kwa ushirikiano kati ya Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto UNICEF, serikali ya kaunti ya Kirinyaga na shirika linalotoa mafunzo, elimu ya biashara ndogo ndogo na uwezeshaji barani Afrika KUZA Biashara.Felista Nyakio Mutungi kijana mkulima wa kaunti ya Kirinyaga, ni mmoja wa wanufaika wa mafunzo kupitia mradi huo. Na hapa anasema....CUT 2- Sauti ya Felista Nyakio Mutungi“Kabla ya kuanza kilimo, nilikuwa nauza barabarani viazi vya kukaanga au chipsi,  na mihogo, pamoja na nafaka. Haikuwa vizuri sana, lakini ndiyo nafasi pekee niliyokuwa nayo wakati huo. Kupitia serikali ya kaunti ya Kirinyaga, tulisajiliwa kama vijana wanaopenda kilimo na tukapata mafunzo kupitia KUZA na UNICEF. Sasa mimi ni mkulima na mjasiriamali.”Felista anasema awali alikuwa akilima robo ekari ya mpunga na kuvuna magunia manne hadi matano pekee. Lakini baada ya mradi wa EKYAN, kwa robo ekari hiyo hiyo sasa anapata hadi magunia saba. Aidha, shamba lake limepanuka hadi ekari nne katika eneo la 'mradi wa umwagiliaji wa Bura.Felista hakutaka kuwa mchoyo wa manufaa aliyopata, hivyo ameamua kueneza ujuzi wa kilimo cha kibiashara kwa kuwafundisha baadhi ya wakulima wengine mbinu na maarifa ya kilimo hiki.CUT- Sauti ya Felista  Nyakio Mutungi“Sasa si tu kwamba nalima, bali pia nawafundisha wakulima wengine kuongeza thamani katika mazao yao. Wanapata ujuzi wa kufanya biashara kupitia kilimo. Na kwa kweli tunawashukuru wahisani na UNICEF kwa kutuwezesha. Bila mpango huu, nisingekuwa hapa nilipo leo.”Kwa upande wake mtaalamu wa ubunifu wa UNICEF nchini Kenya Lilian Njoro, anaeleza kwa nini mradi huo ni muhimu kwa vijana.CUT- Sauti ya Lilian Njoro."Ni asilimia 10 pekee ya vijana wanaojihusisha na sekta ya kilimo. Kwa hivyo, kupitia mradi wa EKYAN, tulitaka kuona jinsi ya kuwahusisha vijana wengi zaidi katika kilimo na kuwavutia ili waweze kuanza kupata maisha yenye utulivu na ajira bora kupitia sekta hii.”Njoro anasisitiza kuwa teknolojia mpya zinafungua njia kwa kilimo cha kisasa tofauti na enzi za wazazi na mababu zao.Namna kilimo kinavyofanyika nyakati hizi ni tofauti na zamani,hii ni kwa sababu ya uwepo wa teknolojia bunifu, majukwaa ya kidijitali, na fursa nyingi.Kwa sasa, mradi wa EKYAN umeendelea kuwajengea vijana ujuzi, kuwapatia nafasi ya ajira, na kubadilisha mtazamo wao kuhusu kilimo, kutoka shughuli ya kizamani hadi kuwa biashara yenye faida.Link: https://youtu.be/hv17nk-2l5kTAGS:UNICEF Kenya/Kilimo/Biashara na ujasiriamali

Leo ni siku ya kimataifa ya ushirikiano baina ya nchi zinazoendelea zikijulikana pia kama nchi za kusini ambapo Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa, António Guterres, ametoa tamko lenye msukumo mkubwa likitambua ustahimilivu, ubunifu, na ushawishi unaoongezeka wa nchi zinazoendelea katika kuleta maendeleo ya kimataifa. Assumpta Massoi anatoa maelezo zaidi.(Taarifa ya Assumpta Massoi)Kwanza kabisa ni vema kufahamu kuwa nchi hizi zinaitwa za kusini, kwa maana kwamba bado ziko nyuma kimaendeleo zikilinganishwa na zile za kaskazini, (ingawa si kijiografia) ambazo zinaonekana kuwa zina maendeleo kiuchumi.Maudhui ya siku hii ni – fursa mpya na ubunifu kupitia ushirikiano wa kusini-kusini na ushirikiano wa pembetatu, ikimaanisha ushirikiano kati ya nchi zinazoendelea, na vile vile mashirika ya kimataifa na nchi zilizoendelea.Sasa katika siku hii ya leo iliyopitishwa na Baraza Kuu la Umoja wa Mataifa tarehe 22 mwezi Desemba mwaka 2003 kwa lengo la kusongesha ushirikiano wa kiufundi baina ya nchi zinazoendelea Guterres anasema “katika dunia inayozidi kuwa na nguvu nyingi za ushawishi, nchi zinazoendelea zinaonesha ustahimilivu wa kipekee na ubunifu wa hali ya juu. Sio tu katika kukabiliana na migogoro, bali pia katika kusukuma mbele mageuzi.”Mathalani nchi hizo zinabuni na kubadilishana majawabu bunifu katika maeneo muhimu kama vile kilimo kinachozingatia mabadiliko ya tabianchi, teknolojia rafiki kwa mazingira, fedha za kidijitali, na ubunifu katika sekta ya afya.Amesisitiza kuwa mafanikio haya yanajengwa juu ya misingi ya kuheshimu pande zote, kujifunza kwa pamoja, na lengo la pamoja—ambayo ndiyo misingi ya ushirikiano wa Kusini-Kusini na ule wa pembetatu.Hata hivyo amesisitiza kuwa ushirikiano huu si ishara tu ya mshikamano, bali pia ni nguvu kuu ya maendeleo inayohitajika kufanikisha Malengo ya Maendeleo Endelevu (SDGs).Amepongeza juhudi za nchi za Kusini katika kuendeleza Ajenda ya 2030, licha ya changamoto zinazoendelea kama vile ukosefu wa usawa wa kiuchumi na mabadiliko ya tabianchi.Vilevile, ametoa wito kwa nchi zilizoendelea kutambua na kutekeleza wajibu wao katika kusaidia juhudi za maendeleo duniani.Katibu Mkuu anasema kuwa “tunatambua pia wajibu wa nchi zilizoendelea katika kushughulikia ukosefu wa usawa unaozidi kuongezeka na kuendeleza maendeleo endelevu.”Katika hitimisho la ujumbe wake, Guterres amehimiza jumuiya ya kimataifa kukumbatia ushirikiano wa nchi za kusini kama kichocheo cha kuhuisha ushirikiano wa kimataifa, akisisitiza haja ya kuchukua hatua kwa pamoja kujenga dunia iliyo jumuishi, yenye usawa, na endelevu kwa wote.Akizungumzia siku hii, , Mkurugenzi wa  Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa inayohusika na masuala ya ushirikiano wa nchi za kusini, UNOSSC, Dima Khatib, amesisitiza kuwa nchi za Kusini zinamiliki "uwezo mkubwa wa kuendeleza maendeleo," kwani ndiko makazi ya asilimia 80 ya watu wote duniani na ni chanzo cha ustahimilivu, ubunifu, pamoja na rasilimali watu na asili ambazo hazijatumika kikamilifu.Katika mahojiano mahsusi na Idhaa ya  Umoja wa Mataifa, Bi. Khatib amesema kwamba katikati ya hali ya kisiasa ya kimataifa iliyojaa mvutano ambayo dunia inashuhudia leo, ushirikiano kati ya nchi za kusini unaweza kuwa injini ya kufufua na kuimarisha mfumo wa ushirikiano wa kimataifa.Amepigia chepuo ushirikiano kati ya nchi za kusini na zile za kaskazini akisema, “hakuwezi kuweko na mgawanyiok wa nchi kati ya zile za kaskazini zilizoendelea na zile za kusini zinazohaha kuendelea. Badala yake “lazima tujenge madaraja. Umoja wa Mataifa una uwezo wa kubeba jukumu hili kwa kuwa ni mfumo muhimu ambao unahudumia nchi zote kwa usawa.

Leo hapa katika makao Makuu ya Umoja wa Mataifa jijini New York Marekani hafla maalum imefanyika kuadhimisha Siku ya Kimataifa ya Amani ambayo kwa kawaida huwa kila mwaka tarehe 21 Septemba. Katibu Mkuu António Guterres katika hafla hiyo ameisihi dunia ambayo imeghubikwa na vita na machafuko kila kona kuwa wakati ni sasa kuchukua hatua na kutimiza ndoto ya amani iliyoanza mwaka 1945 baada ya vita vya pili vya dunia. Flora Nducha amefuatilia hafla hiyo na kutuandalia taarifa hii. Karibu Flora(TAARIFA YA FLORA NDUCHA)Natts --bellLeo, mlio mzito wa Kengele ya Amani umesikika kwenye Makao Makuu ya Umoja wakati wa hafla hiyo iliyoambatana na na burudani ya muziki wa allaNatts........Kisha Katibu Mkuu Guterres akawageukia washiriki na kusema “miaka ni themanini iliyopita Umoja wa Mataifa kuzaliwakutoka kwenye majivu ya vita ili kusaka amani”, akatoa ujumbe ulio wazi,sasa  jukumu la amani duniani ni la dharura kuliko wakati mwingine wowote.Wakati migogoro ikienea na mamilioni ya raia wakiendelea kunaswa kwenye mzunguko wa ghasia, Katibu Mkuu ametahadharisha kwa onyo kali “Amani imo hatarini.”Amesema haki za binadamu na sheria za kimataifa zinakanyagwa, na kuacha nyuma kile alichokiita “mandhari yanayodhalilisha ubinadamu wetu wa pamoja.”Ameongeza kuwa kauli mbiu ya mwaka huu  ya siku ya Amani “Tuchukue Hatua Sasa kwa Dunia yenye Amanisi maneno ya kupita tu, bali ni wito wa dhati wa kuchukua hatua. Guterres amewakumbusha wanachama wa Umoja wa Mataifa na raia kila mahali kwamba amani haiji kwa bahati. Inajengwa hatua kwa hatua, kwa maelewano, ujasiri, na vitendo.“Ni lazima tuchukue hatua kunyamazisha bunduki na kukuza diplomasia. Ni lazima tuchukue hatua kuwalinda raia na kutetea Mkataba wa Umoja wa Mataifa. Ni lazima tuchukue hatua kushughulikia chanzo cha migogoro kuanzia ukosefu wa usawa na kutengwa, hadi kauli za chuki, na janga la tabianchi.”Katibu Mkuu amesisitiza kwamba amani bado iko ndani ya uwezo wa binadamu lakini ni iwapo tu tutaichagua. Ameiitaja kama nguvu kubwa zaidi kwa mustakabali bora, na kuwataka watu wote kuwaunga mkono wale wanaojenga amani, hususan wanawake na vijana walioko mstari wa mbele wa matumaini.Natts kengele.....muzukiKengele ya Amani ilipopigwa  iliyotengenezwa miongo kadhaa iliyopita kutokana na sarafu na medali zilizotolewa na watu wa kawaida kote duniani Guterres amewakumbusha hwashiriki wa hafla hiyo ishara yake “Hata katika dunia iliyogawanyika, bado tunaweza kuungana na kuiacha amani ishike hatamu.”Amehitimisha kwa kusema Katika Siku ya Kimataifa ya Amani, mlio wa kengele unatoa si tu wito wa kimya cha tafakuri, bali pia wito wa kuchukua hatua kwa viongozi, kwa raia, na kwa vizazi vijavyo.Natts muziki..

Sasa twende Gaza, hii ni hadithi ya maisha, ya watoto wa Gaza wanaokabiliana na baa la njaa, hofu, na kuporomoka kwa kila kitu kinachowaweka hai. Ni hadithi inayoelezwa kupitia macho ya wale wanaoshuhudia mateso kila siku wakiwemo madaktari, akina mama, na wahudumu wa kibinadamu wanaopiga kengele ya tahadhari. Miongoni mwa wahudumu hao ni Tess Ingram afisa mawasiliano wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF ofisi ya Kanda ya Mashariki ya Kati na Afrika Kaskazini. Flora Nducha anasimulia alichokishudia(TAARIFA YA FLORA NDUCHA)Tess aliyefunga safari na kushuhudia hali halisi Gaza akizungumza na waandishi wa habari kutoka mji wa Al Mawasi amesema mwenye macho haambiwi tazama na alichokishuhudia ni cha kutisha kwani jiji hilo sasa linazidi kuzama kwenye lindi la baa la njaa, vituo vya lishe vimefungwa, familia zinalia na kuhaha na watoto wanakufa kila uchao bila msaada.(Tess Ingram- Sheillah)“Jiji la Gaza, kimbilio la mwisho kwa familia za Kaskazini, linakuwa mahali ambapo utoto hauwezi kuishi. Ni jiji la hofu, wakimbizi na mazishi.”Anasema zaidi ya nusu ya vituo vya lishe vya watoto vimefungwa na kina mama wanapofika hospitalini wakiwa wamebeba watoto wao unaoweza kuhesabu mbavu sababu ya kukonda wanaambulia patupu kwani msaada ni haba na kwengine hakuna kabisa.(Tess Ingram 2-Sheilah):“Kilichokuwa hakifikiriki si jambo lijalo ni hali ambayo iko hapa tayari. Kuanguka kwa huduma muhimu na kunawaacha watoto wasiojiweza Gaza wakihaha kusalia uhai.”Tess anasema ukiingia katika vituo vya msaada ndio utatambua wanachokipitia watoto wa Gaza kwani, mateso yanaonekana bayana(Tess Ingram 3-Sheillah)“Saa moja tu ndani ya kliniki ya lishe inatosha kuondoa shaka na shuku yoyote uliyonayo ya endapo Gaza kuna baa la njaa.”UNICEF inasisitiza wito wake kuwa raia walindwe, msaada wa chakula na dawa upelekwe kwa wahitaji bila vizuizi. Kwa sababu watoto wa Gaza bado wako hai na dunia ina uwezo wa kuamua endapo wasalie hai.

Hii leo jaridani tunaangazia hatua za kukabiliana na mabadiliko ya tabianchi nchini Tanzania, na biashara ndogondogo kwa wananchi wa Rwanda. Makala tunakupeleka nchini Kenya ma Mashinani tunakwenda Geneva Uswisi, kulikoni?Tanzania, kwa kushirikiana na Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya Duniani (WHO), iko mbioni kuzindua mpango wa “Beat the Heat” yaani “Lishinde Joto”, mpango wenye lengo la kukabiliana na joto kali na hatari za kimazingira katika sehemu za kazi na kwenye matukio makubwa ya kijamii. Anold Kayanda anafafanua zaidi taarifa iliyochapishwa leo na WHO jijini Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.Katika kijiji kimoja nchini Rwanda, ndoto ya muda mrefu ya Chantal Uwizeyimana imegeuka kuwa njia ya kujikwamua kiuchumi.
