Hoy en Hora América ponemos el foco en la situación de Nicaragua, cuando la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA) vuelve a abordar la crisis política y de derechos humanos. Conversamos con Reed Brody, miembro del Grupo de Expertos de la ONU sobre Nicaragua, sobre la represión, las desapariciones forzadas y las muertes bajo custodia. Brody es abogado estadounidense especializado en derechos humanos. Le apodan el “cazador de dictadores". Ha trabajado junto a las víctimas en algunos de los procesos más emblemáticos contra viejos caudillos, entre ellos el chileno Augusto Pinochet, el haitiano Jean-Claude Duvalier y el chadiano Hissène Habré, finalmente condenado en Senegal por crímenes contra la humanidad. Repasamos además la actualidad del continente: la carrera por la Secretaría General de la ONU, la compra de tierras por extranjeros en Argentina, las nuevas sanciones de Estados Unidos a Cuba y la campaña electoral brasileña, donde la Virgen de Aparecida ha irrumpido en la disputa política. En la segunda parte viajamos a Venezuela para escuchar a familiares de presos políticos; y a México, donde analizamos la nueva regulación que restringe el uso de teléfonos móviles en las escuelas. Cerramos desde Madrid con La Chola Poblete, artista trans argentina que explora identidad, origen y raíces indígenas, y con la música de los ecuatorianos Hermanos Gutiérrez y su particular viaje sonoro por los Andes.

O cantor luso-guineense Vlady vai dar o seu primeiro concerto em nome próprio em Dakar, no dia 24 de Outubro. Vlady vai juntar vários cantores vindos da Guiné-Bissau, do Senegal e Gâmbia dando mais "um passo" na internacionalização da sua carreira. Vlady, cantor luso-guineense instalado em Paris, prepara-se para "um grande passo" na sua carreira, apresentando-se pela primeira vez em Dakar em nome próprio. O artista explicou em entrevista à RFI que a ideia do concerto que se realiza no dia 24 de Outubro nasceu em Dezembro de 2025, quando Vlady foi até oa Senegal para participar no concerto de outro cantor. "No mês de Dezembro, quando fui para Senegal para um concerto de um grupo de lá e eu não sabia se não se tinha muitos fãs no Senegal. Depois do concerto, houve tantos pedidos que eu pensei: tenho que fazer mesmo um concerto", explicou. As ligações culturais entre a Guiné-Bissau e o Senegal, especialmente a cultura madjaco, facilitam esta internacionalização. Vlady confessa que, sendo originário de Pelundo, na região de Cacheu, que esta cultura é a base da sua música, mas que tem diversificado a sua música nos últimos anos, escrevendo e compondo para estilos tão díspares como a kizomba ou afro beat. O concerto em Dakar é "um grande passo" para este cantor, já que para além de representar a sua internacionalização, vai receber convidados de diferentes países. "Eu não gosto de ficar no mesmo lugar. Então, este é um passo muito grande para chegar ao Senegal, para fazer este concerto. É para conhecer também a cultura do Senegal, é pessoal também e também a continuação do trabalho que eu faço. E isto tudo para mim é muito importante e eu não vou ficar só no Senegal. Acho que no até próximo ano, vou tentar também fazer também na Gâmbia", concluiu o cantor.

Conversación con Álex Fraile, librero de Perros de Lluvia, la librería musical de Lavapiés, y autor de Cuando Dylan me sonrió. Hablamos de cómo alguien pasa de la cooperación internacional al viaje sin rumbo, de la escritura de viajes a la crónica de conciertos, y acaba detrás del mostrador de una librería dedicada solo a la música.Antes de los libros hubo otras vidas: el Derecho, la respuesta ante desastres, Bélgica, el Congo, Senegal; después, más de un año de viaje sin agenda que se convirtió en blog y en libros. En esta conversación intentamos entender qué une todo ese recorrido, esa necesidad de estar intensamente en el mundo y de contarlo, y por qué al final fue la música la que se quedó.Temas tratados:La cooperación y la idea de que la acción humanitaria empieza por uno mismoLa música como refugio, o como ausencia, en contextos extremosEscribir como fan: Cuando Dylan me sonrió y sus 33 crónicas de conciertosEl oficio de librero, el barrio y el lado menos romántico de montar un negocio culturalStreaming, vinilo y si existe una forma «correcta» de escuchar músicaMitomanía, esnobismo melómano y el lugar de Tom WaitsSobre Alex y Perros de Lluvia: https://perrosdelluvia.com/https://www.instagram.com/perrosdelluvia_libreria/?hl=esMás información:Episodio patrocinado por Cirial180: https://www.cirial180.com/Compartiendo el amor por las personas, los libros, la cultura y las humanidades en Humanistas Sin Complejos: https://humanistasincomplejos.com/

Maurizio Fantoni Minnella"Che cos'è una biblioteca?"Ogni biblioteca nasce da un desiderio impossibile: tenere insieme tutto ciò che è stato scritto, sottrarlo al tempo, renderlo di nuovo leggibile. Proprio per questo la sua storia è anche una storia di fragilità: i libri bruciano, si sbriciolano, vengono dimenticati, censurati, dispersi. Il percorso che segue attraversa sei luoghi, reali e immaginari, in cui la biblioteca si mostra per ciò che è davvero. Non è un deposito, ma un organismo vivo che chiede custodi.I. AlessandriaIl mito fondativo. Una città che voleva possedere il sapere del mondo e che, proprio per questo, ha consegnato alla memoria collettiva la sua perdita. Da allora ogni biblioteca porta in sé il ricordo di un incendio.II. BabeleBorges immagina una biblioteca infinita che contiene tutti i libri possibili, e in cui proprio per questo nessuno riesce a trovare quello che cerca. Altrove confessa di essersi sempre figurato il Paradiso come una specie di biblioteca. È lo sguardo da cui parte Fantoni Minnella: il suo documentario "Libri di sabbia" (2019) prende il titolo da un racconto borgesiano.III. Il desertoNell'Adrar mauritano, a Chinguetti, Ouadane, Tichitt e Oualata, ci sono antiche città carovaniere oggi patrimonio Unesco. Lì manoscritti medievali e libri a stampa arrivati dal Cairo e dalla Mecca sono custoditi da secoli nelle biblioteche private delle famiglie, tramandati di padre in figlio. Sabbia, termiti e desertificazione li minacciano. Il film di Fantoni Minnella nasce da un gesto di ascolto, «Mi sono messo in ascolto del deserto», e dal timore che finiscano come Timbuctù.IV. Il rogoIl 10 maggio 1933 a Berlino e nelle città tedesche si bruciano i libri in piazza. Ogni anno l'Associazione italiana biblioteche ricorda quella notte con la rassegna "Libri salvati", letture pubbliche contro la cancellazione della memoria. Salvare un libro è un atto politico. Lo sapeva Victor Hugo, che nel 1872 dedica un poema alla biblioteca incendiata durante la Comune.V. La biblioteca di casaSono scaffali costruiti in una vita, disordinati, stratificati. La biblioteca privata è un autoritratto involontario, un diario scritto con i libri degli altri. Chi la guardasse senza conoscerci capirebbe molto di noi: dei viaggi, degli amori, delle ossessioni.VI. La sogliaInfine la biblioteca pubblica, luogo di accesso e di democrazia: l'unico spazio in cui chiunque può entrare, sedersi e leggere senza dover comprare nulla. Da qui torna la domanda di fondo del percorso: chi custodisce oggi i libri, e per chi?— Tu viens d'incendier la Bibliothèque ?— Oui.J'ai mis le feu là.— Mais c'est un crime inouï !«Hai appena incendiato la Biblioteca?» «Sì. Ci ho appiccato il fuoco.» «Ma è un crimine inaudito!» Il poema si chiude con la risposta dell'incendiario, che rovescia l'accusa: «Non so leggere».(Victor Hugo, "À qui la faute ?", da "L'Année terrible", 1872)There is no Frigate like a BookTo take us Lands away«Non c'è vascello come un libro per portarci in terre lontane.»(Emily Dickinson, 1873 circa, pubblicata postuma nel 1894)Maurizio Fantoni Minnella (Varese, 1959) è scrittore, saggista, critico cinematografico, documentarista e fotografo.

As I discussed with Barron Segar, President and CEO of World Food Program USA, in today's episode, the dynamics have shifted over the last decade. Despite declining government funding and rising costs, Barron remains hopeful—and solutions-driven.“When I started ten years ago, hunger was on the decline,” Barron told me. “Today, we're battling wars, extreme weather events, rising costs, and decreased funding. Yet, we're proud that the U.S. remains a significant contributor while the private sector has stepped up to fill some gaps.”As the representative of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning World Food Program, Barron highlighted how the organization is navigating these changing dynamics. One of its key innovations, he noted, is leveraging partnerships and pre-positioning supplies to respond to emergencies quickly, such as recent events in Nepal and Venezuela. Still, he emphasized, war stands as the leading cause of hunger today, making humanitarian access and supply delivery increasingly difficult.Barron shared an eye-opening statistic: “Over 262 million people today are suffering acute hunger.” This growing crisis, he explained, requires extraordinary efforts and resources to reach those most in need. In war zones like Gaza, the World Food Program is averting famine and feeding hundreds of thousands daily, yet the need remains massive.While discussing hotspots like Gaza, Ukraine, Haiti, and Honduras, Barron painted a vivid picture of the struggles faced by refugees and vulnerable communities forced to flee their homes. Reflecting on his visit to the Ukraine-Poland border shortly after the conflict began, he recalled meeting displaced women, children, and even elderly individuals carrying nothing but their few belongings—and their hope.Barron's optimism remains grounded in action. He credits both resilient frontline workers and scalable, innovative solutions, including cash-based transfers to sustain functioning marketplaces. Moreover, he directed listeners to “JustServe,” a platform helping volunteers address local needs domestically, while encouraging global responsibility.This episode underscored the dire need for collaboration and creative problem-solving to combat hunger and build long-term resilience. Barron's leadership highlights how strategic partnerships and unwavering dedication can drive impactful results—even in the face of unprecedented challenges.tl;dr:Barron Segar highlighted how wars, climate events, and underfunding exacerbate global hunger challenges.Innovations like cash-based transfers and strategic pre-positioning strengthen emergency food delivery.The World Food Program USA engages both governments and private sectors to address funding gaps.Barron emphasized creating a collaborative culture while setting measurable growth goals for leadership success.Hunger relief efforts showcase the need for global and local teamwork to build long-term resilience.How to Develop Vision into Action As a SuperpowerBarron's superpower is his ability to turn vision into action. As he explained in today's episode, “One of the superpowers I believe I hold is turning a vision into execution.” He shared how his role as President and CEO of World Food Program USA requires him to not only articulate ambitious goals but also lead his team toward achieving them. Barron pointed to collaboration, measurable results, and difficult but mission-centered decisions as integral to his execution-focused leadership.One example of this superpower is Barron's plan to dramatically grow private sector funding for the organization. When he started in 2020, the World Food Program USA raised $19 million annually. This year, it will surpass $130 million, with a goal of reaching $250 million annually in the next five years. Barron emphasized measurable outcomes and strategic investments, supported by pro bono insights from the Boston Consulting Group, to drive results.Tips for Developing Vision into Action as a Superpower:Focus on creating a high-performance, collaborative culture of respect, optimism, and accountability.Set ambitious but achievable goals that push you and your team beyond your comfort zone.Communicate strategy clearly and align your resources to maximize impact.Establish measurable key performance indicators to track progress and stay focused.Be prepared to make tough decisions and accept that not everyone will always agree with you.By following Barron's example and advice, you can make vision into action a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileBarron Segar (he/him):President & CEO, World Food Program USAAbout World Food Program USA: The World Food Programme is the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and the world's leading humanitarian organization, saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a pathway to peace, stability and prosperity for people recovering from conflict, disasters and the impact of climate extremes.

95 Prozent verstopft. Sein Herz war fast am Ende. 30 Jahre lang stand Steven Timmerman auf Bühnen dieser Welt. Als Elvis-Double, als Boygroup-Sänger, als Entertainer auf Kreuzfahrtschiffen von Senegal bis zum Atlantik. Applaus auf Knopfdruck, jeden Abend eine neue Rolle, jeden Abend hundert Prozent, egal wie er sich fühlte. Bis ein Routine-Check-up in Zypern alles veränderte. In diesem Video erfährst du: - Wie eine 95-prozentig verstopfte Herzarterie sein ganzes Leben auf den Kopf stellte - Warum 30 Jahre Applaus ihren Preis hatten, körperlich und mental - Die drei Lektionen, die er seiner Tochter Tallulah mitgeben will, bevor sie geboren wird - Wie er lernte, zwischen Menschen zu unterscheiden, die Energie nehmen und Menschen, die Energie schenken - Warum er seine Bühne heute zum ersten Mal ohne Kostüm betritt Diese Keynote ist im Killer Keynote Bootcamp entstanden. Dort bringe ich Menschen mit einer echten Geschichte auf die Bühne und zeige ihnen, wie sie diese Geschichte so strukturieren und erzählen, dass sie andere wirklich erreicht, statt sie nur zu unterhalten. Steven ist einer von ihnen, und seine Geschichte ist einer der Gründe, warum ich diese Arbeit mache: Menschen finden ihre eigene Stimme, wenn sie aufhören, eine Rolle zu spielen. --- Besuche Steven auch hier:

Half of Senegal's household rely on wood or wood charcoal.塞内加尔一半的家庭依靠木材或木炭。To combat air pollution and deforestation, a cooperative of women produce biochar, an energy source made from straw.为了应对空气污染和森林砍伐问题,一个妇女合作社生产生物炭,这是一种由秸秆制成的能源。Theyburnit and mix the charred straw with clay and water. The end result is a carbon-neutral organic charcoal that does not involve chopping down trees.他们将其焚烧,并将烧焦的稻草与黏土和水混合。最终得到一种碳中和的有机木炭,且无需砍伐树木。The mixture is pressed and stored, resulting in about 150 pallets of biochar per day.将混合物进行压制和储存,每天可产出约150托盘的生物炭。The initiative is diversifying the economy of a rural region where many eke out a living from livestock and fishing.该倡议正在使一个农村地区的经济多元化,在那里许多人靠畜牧和渔业勉强维持生计。First of all, this biochar protects the forest. It protects our homes, it protects our supplies, it protects women, it protects the forest that no longer burns, it protects our lives. It is healthy. We thank God for this.首先,这种生物炭保护了森林。它保护我们的家园,保护我们的物资,保护妇女,保护不再燃烧的森林,保护我们的生命。它有益健康。我们为此感谢上帝。Biochar production has been launched in 18 villages in the region by the Nebeday ecological association, a name that means "tree" in the Wolof of language.Nebeday生态协会已在该地区的18个村庄启动了生物炭生产项目,Nebeday在沃洛夫语中意为“树”。To fight deforestation, the group also plants trees in big cities and small villages alike.为了对抗森林砍伐,该组织还在大城市和小村庄植树。Since the beginning of the year, they have planted more than a million trees throughout the country.自年初以来,他们在全国各地种植了一百多万棵树。Nebeday director Jean Geopp says that putting straw to good use has an added advantage.Nebeday主任Jean Geopp表示,充分利用秸秆还有额外的好处。Straw, which is the raw material of our biochar, in fact conveys thousands of bushfires across the country in the dry season.稻草是我们生物炭的原料,实际上在旱季会在全国范围内引发数千起丛林大火。So reducing this straw is reducing bushfires, and, therefore, preventing young trees from dying in the forest.减少秸秆就是减少丛林火灾,从而防止森林中的幼树死亡。So by consuming one kilogram of straw charcoal, we save the forest twice.每消耗一公斤秸秆木炭,我们就能两倍地拯救森林。The benefits can be seen in Senegal's Djilor Forest, patrolled by ranger Biram Gning, who was born nearby.这些好处在塞内加尔的吉洛森林可见一斑,这片森林由护林员Biram Gning巡逻,他就出生在附近。Gning lacks the authority to arrest those he catches cutting down trees, rather, he reports infractions to a local village chief.Gning没有权力逮捕他抓到的那些砍树的人,而是将违规行为报告给当地的村长。Gning says rising delta waters have salted the land, posing an additional environmental challenge.Gning表示,三角洲地区不断上涨的水位已使土地盐碱化,构成了额外的环境挑战。Deforestation is caused by, one, the harmful cutting of trees, illegal cutting by the population.森林砍伐是由以下原因造成的:其一,非法砍伐。Two, there are brushfires, which can ravage miles of forest. Three, the advance of salt from the sea to the forests.二是有野火,它们能肆虐数英里的森林。三是海水向森林的侵蚀。The African Union's Great Green Wall initiative is focusing on the Sahel among other regions to prevent desertification.非洲联盟的“绿色长城”倡议正聚焦于萨赫勒等地区,以防治沙漠化。The biochar project and efforts to combat deforestation are a vital piece of the puzzle.生物炭项目以及应对森林砍伐的努力是解决这一难题的关键部分。
This episode is a supplementary full interview with Dr Aliou Ba from Episode 4 of the Edible Empire podcast series. Here, we explore the human and environmental costs of the fishmeal and fish oil industry that has decimated fisheries in West Africa in the name of supplying aquaculture feed and cheap, year-round fish.What connects salmon farming in northern Europe with tomato farming in southern Spain? These two, seemingly distinct food supply chains ensure that our supermarket shelves are stocked with cheap, year-round food. What we don't see, however, are the hidden links - the overfishing along the coast of West Africa that destroys local communities' livelihoods and drives migration to Europe; the dangerous journeys by small boat where 1 in 5 people die; the entrapment of migrants arriving in exploitative agricultural labour in Spain's intensive greenhouses. This interview examines the story of salmon farming - and highlights the hidden costs of this highly commodified food.Dr Aliou Ba of Greenpeace Africa details how this industrial plundering has collapsed local artisanal fisheries and triggered a profound food security crisis in Senegal. This environmental degradation ultimately forces thousands of displaced West Africans to undertake a perilous sea voyage to Spain.

20 years ago, the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) promised African governments a transformation: subsidise fertiliser, promote commercial seed, mechanise production and open the door to private investment, and yields would rise, farmers would prosper, and hunger would fall. AGRA's promise has now been tested against nearly 20 years of national data — and, according to a new report from the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA), it has failed on its own terms.To discuss the report, AGRA's failure, its dangerous grip on African food security, and the alternative offered by agroecology, ffinlo Costain is joined by Dr Million Belay, the Co-ordinator of the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa, who's based in Ethiopia, and by Michael Farrelly, a consultant to AFSA, who lives in Senegal.Read more on this subject here: https://8point9.com/africas-food-must-be-grown-by-african-farmers/
El proyecto Remanso, fundado por Miguel Ángel Cañuel, en Murcia, ofrece una propuesta innovadora de retiros de lectura que trascienden el formato tradicional de los clubes literarios. Los participantes se reúnen en entornos naturales u hoteles rurales para leer una obra completa durante un fin de semana, contando con la presencia del autor o de expertos en la materia.Esta iniciativa ha alcanzado una dimensión internacional, organizando encuentros en diversos puntos de España y países como México, Argentina y Senegal. El objetivo principal es transformar el acto solitario de leer en una experiencia colectiva profunda, permitiendo a los lectores debatir y analizar los textos en tiempo real.Aunque el público es mayoritariamente femenino, el programa sigue expandiéndose con primicias editoriales y viajes culturales diseñados para fomentar la conexión humana a través de los libros.
Few people have heard of Samuel Crowther, but he was one of the most important missionaries to Nigeria. That's because he was born there, so he knew the language and culture. And he had a special talent for learning languages, so he learned other languages from his region and oversaw the first translation of the Bible in Yoruba. His calling as a minister of the gospel was recognized by the Anglican church, which ordained him as their first African bishop. But he could never have known any of this when he was kidnapped and sold as a slave at just twelve years of age! Join Grace, Isaac, and Sean as they learn more about this important missionary from our guest, Dr. Kelly Kumbu, Regional Director for Francophone Africa and Haiti for Development Associates International and author of a work about Samuel Crowther. Show Notes Dr. Kumbu's favorite dish is Ceebu Jën (or Jollof), the National dish of Senegal.

I know you will all stay loyal to RFI English – our service has so much to offer. We're small, but my colleagues are firebrands! For example, we have wonderful podcasts: Spotlight on France, with journalists Alison Hird and Sarah Elzas; Melissa Chemam's insightful Spotlight on Africa, and our International Report, usually sent to us by one of our foreign correspondents. We also have an award-winning bilingual series – an old-time radio show, with actors (!) – to help you learn French, called Les voisins du 12 bis. Remember, podcasts are radio, too! As you see, sound is still quite present in the RFI English service. Please keep checking our website for updates on the latest from our team of journalists. You never know what we'll surprise you with! To listen to our podcasts from your PC, go to our website; you'll see “Podcasts” at the top of the page. You can either listen directly or subscribe and receive them directly on your mobile phone. And don't forget, in addition to our audio bilingual series, you can also learn French through our website “Le Français facile avec rfi”. In addition to online lessons, there are news broadcasts in slow, simple French, with exercises to practice what you've heard. Go to their website and get started! At the top of the page, click on “Test level”, and you'll be advised on the best-suited activities for your level, according to your score. Do not give up! As Lidwien van Dixhoorn, the head of the “Le Français facile” service, told me: “Bathe your ears in the sound of the language, and eventually, you'll get it”. She should know – Lidwien is Dutch and came to France hardly able to say “bonjour,” and now she heads this key international award-winning RFI department – so stick with it! For the quiz on 24 January: I asked you a question about the Africa Cup of Nations, and an article sent to us by Paul Myers, who was there. You were to re-read his article “Senegal outwit Morocco to claim 2025 Africa Cup of Nations”, and send in the answer to this question: At the 2026 World Cup, which took place in the United States, Mexico, and Canada in June, in which group did Morocco play, and in which group did Senegal play? The answer is, to quote Paul's article: “Morocco will play in Group C against Brazil, Scotland and Haiti. Senegal will feature in Group I with France, Norway, and the team that emerges from the intercontinental play-off in March.” In addition to the quiz question, there was the bonus question: “What is your favorite day of the year? Why? What is it about that day that makes it your favorite?” The winners are: RFI Listeners Club member Dipita Chakrabarty from New Delhi, India. Dipita is also the bonus question winner. Also on the list of lucky winners this week are Muhammed Naved, a member of the International DX Radio Listeners Club in West Bengal, India; Muhammad Abdullah, a member of the RFI Online Visitors Club in Sahiwal, Pakistan; RFI Listeners Club member Rodrigo Hunrichse from Bio-Bio, Chile, and last but not least, RFI English listener Sakila Musarrt from Chapainawabganj in Bangladesh. Congratulations winners! For the quiz on 31 January: You were to listen to our podcast “Spotlight on France”, the brainchild of my colleagues Alison Hird and Sarah Elzas. I hope you listen to it regularly, it's really quite good. On their programme number 138, Alison reported on La Ménardière, an alternative living arrangement for seniors in the village of Bérat, close to the southern French town of Toulouse. The aim of the project is for seniors to live and grow old together, contributing to society for as long as possible, and to delay – or avoid – the moment when people are forced into institutional care. The answers you were to send in were: How many residents can live at La Ménardière, and what is the selection process? The answer is, to quote Alison: “La Ménardière can house up to 20 residents. The selection process to become one is rigorous. Candidates stay for trial weekends and, if they decide to join, they must then complete a six-month probation period.” The bonus question you answered that week – suggested by Murshida Parvin Lata, the co-chairman of the Sonali Badhan Female Listeners Club in Bogura, Bangladesh – was: “Which daytime temperature do you prefer: cold or hot? Why?” The winners are: RFI Listeners Club member Father Steven Wara, who lives and serves in the Cistercian Abbey in Bamenda, Cameroon. Father Steve is also the winner of this week's bonus question. There's long-standing RFI Listeners Club member Zenon Teles, who is also the president of the Christian – Marxist – Leninist – Maoist Association of Listening DX-ERs in Goa, India, as well as another faithful Sound Kitchen listener – and club member – Radhakrishna Pillai from Kerala State, also in India. Moving over to Bangladesh, Anjana Parvin – she's the secretary of the very active Shetu RFI Listeners Club in Naogaon. And last but not the least, club member and my fellow dinosaur, Alan Holder, from England's Isle of Wight. Congratulations winners! Here's the music you heard on this week's programme: “Take the A Train” by Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington, performed by Duke Ellington and his orchestra; the “AFCON 2025 Official Intro Theme – Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025” by Othmane Laaouina; “What a Wonderful World” by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss, sung by Louis Armstrong; “The Cakewalk” from Children's Corner by Claude Debussy, performed by the composer, and “Étincelles”, Op. 36, No. 6 by Moritz Moszkowski, played by Alexander Zhou. I'll talk to you next week, 26 September, for our final Sound Kitchen together. You'll hear the answers to the questions about the Grammy Awards Lifetime Achievement Awards and the Benin Bronzes, as well as your responses to the bonus questions on "The Listener's Corner" with Paul Myers, so be sure and tune in. Until then, fare thee well!
Versandra Kennebrew spent 26 years in holistic health as a massage therapist, energy healer, and yoga teacher. Today she calls herself a human connection speaker, which means she builds experiences where people reconnect with each other and with themselves. Her point is that with technology in the middle of everything, we forget we are human beings first.She walks Ryan through her mornings, and gratitude is the first thing on her mind before she even gets out of bed. Breathing, intentions, an affirmation playlist she made herself, movement, and journaling on the days she needs it. She also spent over two years walking two miles to work and two miles home, not for a fitness plan, but because her legs work and using them is how she keeps them working. She is over 60 and went to yoga teacher training at 55.The back half gets personal. Five years as her father's primary caregiver, what that showed her about her own aging, and why she is leaving in February for 27 months in Senegal as a Peace Corps maternal health specialist.

Al-Hilal and Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly opens up about his remarkable football journey from Metz and Genk to becoming one of Serie A's top defenders with Napoli, playing for Chelsea in the Premier League, and finding a new home in Saudi Arabia with Al Hilal. Kouli reflects on how Maurizio Sarri transformed his game, facing racism in European football, the mentality and leadership required at the highest level, and what it really takes to become an elite defender. He also takes us inside Al Hilal's historic Club World Cup run, including the unforgettable victory over Manchester City, while sharing his perspective on the growth of the Saudi Pro League, the future of Saudi football, and the next generation of Saudi players. The conversation goes beyond club football as Koulibaly discusses captaining Senegal, AFCON, mental health, pressure, his relationship with Al Hilal fans, life in Saudi Arabia, his father's influence, and the legacy he hopes to leave behind when his playing career comes to an end. 0:00 Intro4:53 The Sacrifices of Professional Football6:14 Rediscovering the Joy of Football9:44 Thriving Under Pressure at the Biggest Clubs12:20 Napoli: The Turning Point17:09 How Sarri Changed the Way He Sees Football19:14 Facing Racism in Football24:16 Why Become a Defender28:57 Communication, Leadership Defending as a Team33:45 Performing When You're Not at 100%35:21 Playing in Saudi Arabia's Extreme Heat38:45 The Penalty That Taught Koulibaly a New Rule41:03 Al Hilal: From an Unbeaten Season to No Trophies44:13 Representing Saudi Football at the Club World Cup46:20 The Historic Victory Against Manchester City51:34 Changing the Perception of Saudi Football53:37 Al Hilal's Most Underrated Players59:07 Developing the Next Generation of Saudi Talent1:05:30 The Real Salem Al-Dawsari1:09:24 Mental Health, Motivation Enjoying Football1:12:47 Koulibaly's Message to Al Hilal Supporters1:16:00 The Red Card in the 2024 King's Cup Final1:19:34 Captaining Senegal Representing a Nation1:24:36 The AFCON Controversy1:28:26 Investing in Saudi Arabia Life Beyond Football1:30:28 How Football and Defending Has Changed1:33:22 Greatest Idol1:34:35 Closing Thoughts Presented by BSFInstagram https://bit.ly/47XvqjvX https://bit.ly/4vkYICNLinkedIn https://bit.ly/4c7CsooWebsite https://bit.ly/4tBULI0 Noon Instagram https://bit.ly/3XRScUYWebsite https://bit.ly/44lnA1S AlmosaferInstagram https://bit.ly/4xOCwkxX https://bit.ly/4xZo0ahWebsite https://bit.ly/3TcXZFoApp Download https://bit.ly/4Amy4vO Brew 92Instagram http://bit.ly/3VN6MeILinkedIn https://bit.ly/42kN65EWebsite https://bit.ly/4grbAjK IWC Instagram https://bit.ly/44dxbFWWebsite https://bit.ly/43K8JMk Lexus Instagram https://bit.ly/4tRXzS6X https://bit.ly/4cDZ4gIWebsite https://bit.ly/4kTlTz6 The Mo ShowYoutube https://bit.ly/3nDwsZvApple Podcast https://apple.co/3J9ScX4Spotify https://spoti.fi/33dzsC2Anghami https://bit.ly/3mRo1uyInstagram https://bit.ly/2KAwq5vX https://bit.ly/3KanEnJTikTok https://bit.ly/43L92poLinkedIn https://bit.ly/3NkxZoeSnapchat https://bit.ly/3NM3LKQWebsite https://bit.ly/3H2DhMMEmail info@themopodcast.com
Many conversations about development for focus on aid: how much, from whom, and for how long. But aid has never been more than a small part of what pays for a country's development, and in 2025 it fell by 23.1%. The need to rethink our attitude to development has inspired the Future of Development Cooperation Coalition (FDCC). In this week's episode, Alexia Latortue and Radha Rajkotia of FDCC talk to Tim Phillips about its first report,. The report assesses the development challenges of LMICs using a balance sheet approach, with assets on one side and liabilities on the other. Tax revenue, remittances, pension and sovereign wealth funds, trade, natural resources and the skills of the population sit on the asset side. Unsustainable debt, illicit financial flows, poor credit ratings, weak institutions, climate exposure and conflict sit on the other.The idea? Each country focuses on the policies to develop their most important assets, and minimise their most problematic liabilities. They argue that governments and donors alike should stop thinking of developing countries as recipients of aid, and start thinking of them as partners in economic development.The research behind this episode:Future of Development Cooperation Coalition. 2026. "The Development Balance Sheet: Rethinking Development Cooperation from the Ground Up." Published 20 May 2026. Research team: Radha Rajkotia, John Norris and Mma Amara Ekeruche.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, Alexia Latortue, and Radha Rajkotia. 2026. "Rethinking development cooperation: The case for a 'balance sheet' approach." VoxDev Talks (podcast). About the guestsAlexia Latortue is Head of Secretariat of the Future of Development Cooperation Coalition and a Distinguished Non-Resident Fellow at the Center for Global Development. She served as Assistant Secretary for International Trade and Development at the US Treasury, where she led work on reforming the multilateral development banks and on using public finance to pull private capital into emerging markets. She was previously Deputy CEO and Managing Director for Corporate Strategy at the Millennium Challenge Corporation, sat on the Executive Committee of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and spent ten years at the World Bank working on financial inclusion, ending as Deputy CEO of CGAP.Radha Rajkotia is Director of Research at the Future of Development Cooperation Coalition and lead researcher on this report. She was Chief Executive Officer of Building Markets and, before that, Chief Research and Policy Officer at Innovations for Poverty Action, running its strategy across 22 countries. She spent eleven years leading the economic recovery and development unit at the International Rescue Committee, on work spanning cash-based relief and job creation in conflict settings. She holds a PhD in Refugee Studies from the University of Sussex, is a Senior Policy Fellow at the Henry Leir Institute at Tufts University, and teaches at Georgetown.Research cited in this episodeThe balance sheet approach. The report sets out assets and liabilities but argues that neither is a checklist. Some entries are country-specific, such as natural resource endowments or exposure to climate risk. Others are structural, such as a sovereign credit rating, which constrains or enables progress regardless of what a government does at home. The point of the exercise is situational awareness before prioritisation, not a universal to-do list.The 30 national development strategies. The research team reviewed the current development strategies of 30 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America. All 30 prioritise economic transformation and human capital. Governance appears as a stand-alone pillar in two-thirds of them. Inequality is a defining element in almost every Latin American strategy and largely absent as an explicit constraint in Africa and Asia. Most countries frame technology as digital economy rather than as AI governance or chip access, which the report reads as a widening sophistication gap.Nigeria and Ethiopia. The report's worked comparison. Ethiopia attracts more than three times Nigeria's foreign direct investment despite being roughly 100 million people smaller. Nigeria has strong tax revenues, considerable pension fund assets, a heavy debt servicing burden and large losses to illicit financial flows. Ethiopia has a narrow tax base and weak compliance, suffers far less from illicit flows, carries a lighter debt service burden and is nonetheless in debt distress.Debt as both asset and liability. Low-income countries spend 18% of government revenue on average servicing foreign debt. Angola, Laos, Bhutan, Pakistan, Egypt, Sudan, the Bahamas, Tunisia, Zambia, Benin and Senegal each spent more than 30% of tax revenues on debt servicing in 2024. As of 2026, 27 countries face a high risk of debt distress and nine are already in it, the majority of them in Africa. Latortue argues that the problem is the price, tenor and currency of debt rather than debt itself, and that restructuring machinery built around the Paris Club has not kept up with a creditor base that now includes China, Gulf states and a large body of commercial lenders.Credit ratings. Only eight countries across Latin America and Africa hold an investment-grade rating from Moody's, Fitch or S&P. They are Chile, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Botswana and Mauritius. A UNDP analysis cited in the report estimates that flawed ratings have cost African countries as much as $74.5 billion in excess interest and foregone investment, more than the continent's entire net receipt of official development assistance. The African Union is launching its own credit rating agency in 2026.South-South trade. UNCTAD figures in the report put South-South merchandise exports at about $0.5 trillion in 1995 and $6.8 trillion in 2025. Some 57% of developing-country exports now go to other developing markets. Rajkotia points to the Africa Continental Free Trade Area and to Mercosur as existing infrastructure that could support production integration rather than trade agreements alone.Demographics. Africa's working-age population is expected to double by 2050, which the report treats as an asset conditional on policy. By 2050 only 26% of the world's population is projected to live in Europe, North America and China, falling to 18% by 2100.Domestic capital in Africa. Latortue cites more than $4 trillion of assets held across the African continent, a figure that combines central bank reserves, commercial bank assets, institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, pensions and insurance. Her argument is that moving even a small share of it into productive investment would outweigh anything aid can now do. The report notes that Ghana mandated 5% of its pension fund for venture capital in 2025 and that Mexico legislated for an allowance of up to 30%.Conflict. The one item Latortue places firmly on one side of the ledger. She counts at least 60 live conflicts worldwide. The Peace Research Institute Oslo recorded more conflicts in 2024 than at any point since the Second World War, and more than half of all conflict-affected states now face at least two separate internal conflicts. Development work has a role in keeping the real economy going, she says, but the solutions are political.More VoxDev Talks episodesThe end of aid dependency. W. Gyude Moore argues that the contraction in aid is structural and that governments should use growth diagnostics to decide which offers of assistance to accept and which to turn down.

In Yemen, the Houthis, a rebel group supported by Iran, have taken more strategic territory along the Red Sea. This now includes islands in the middle of the narrowest part of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a key route for over a tenth of global trade. Also, in Germany, police arrested a man last week suspected of planning and carrying out sabotage against the country's electricity network, apparently to highlight the climate crisis. And, when Beijing and Washington discuss AI safety rules, they often have very different ideas. In the US, the debate focuses on threats to humanity, while China is more concerned about risks to its ruling party. Plus, Senegal is getting ready to host the Youth Olympic Games.

Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye is expected to hold talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington this week as Senegal seeks a new IMF programme. Earlier, the government introduced measures aimed at easing the cost of living and reached a staff-level agreement with the IMF on a new $2.2 billion, three-year lending programme to support economic and financial reforms. However, the deal still requires approval from the IMF Executive Board.Meanwhile, on the streets of Dakar, protesters are calling for lower prices on essential goods and services, including food, fuel, electricity and rent. We examine the impact of Senegal's hidden debt crisis of more than $11 billion on ordinary citizens, how the country reached this point and what plans are in place to address the challenges.And we hear from a Ugandan designer whose creativity captured global attention at the recently concluded Miss World pageant in Vietnam. Her striking design, worn by Miss World Uganda, brought to life the seven anatomical layers involved in a Caesarean section, earning international recognition and sparking conversations far beyond the world of fashion.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Keikantse Shumba and Charles Gitonga Technical Producer: Davis Mwasaru Senior Producer: Blessing Aderogba Editors: Daniel Dadzie and Maryam Abdalla

Russia has been trying to grow its influence in Africa for years, with Russian paramilitary groups operating in countries such as Mali and Niger and Africans being recruited to fight in Russia's war in Ukraine.But it's not just through soldiers and paramilitaries - Russia has now announced plans to open eight new cultural centres across Africa. The new centres are expected to open in countries such as Kenya, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Senegal, and they will offer locals the opportunity to learn Russian, find out about Russian culture, and get help applying to study there.So, why is Russia opening more of them? And are more young Africans interested in learning Russian?The BBC's West Africa Reporter Makuochi Okafor explains why Russia is keen to build more influence on the continent - and the other countries it's competing with. We also hear from Raphael, a student based in Lagos who's learning Russian, about whether he's seen more people wanting to learn the language.

$200 for cement. $500 for a business upgrade. A few receipts and a real relationship. That's the kind of giving that actually lands, and it's what we dig into with Forrest Mcsweeney, founder of the Uplift Project, a grassroots nonprofit focused on direct microgrants and practical support in rural Guyana.We talk about Forrest's unconventional upbringing traveling through Central and South America, the outdoor work that funds his seasons, and the six-month solo road trip that sharpened his sense of what matters. Then we get into the story that crystallized his philosophy: a family in Senegal that had everything needed to expand their home except the last $200 for cement. That “last hurdle” becomes the lens for understanding poverty, dignity, and why bottom-up solutions often outperform top-down charity.From there, Forrest breaks down how the Uplift Project operates with transparency and accountability: interviewing local entrepreneurs, prioritizing women with children, documenting exactly what a $500 grant will buy, and following up with photos and receipts. You'll hear what that looks like on the ground in remote communities reachable only by boat, plus the ripple effects of funding a seamstress's solar-powered setup, a baker's larger oven, and emerging needs like rainwater tanks for clean drinking water, school supplies, and uniforms.If you care about sustainable development, nonprofit transparency, and real-world impact per dollar, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a rating or review so more people can find these stories.To learn more about Forrest and The Uplift Project check out www.upliftproject.org.

In this compelling conversation, professor Winfred Neely challenges Christians to recover one of the most neglected teachings of the New Testament: biblical agape love. Drawing from decades of ministry, missionary service in Senegal, and deep study of Scripture, Neely explains how God's self-giving, truth-centered love differs from modern ideas of romance, tolerance, and self-fulfillment. He explores why love is essential for church unity, spiritual revival, faithful Christian witness, and personal transformation, while offering practical wisdom for overcoming pride, deepening our walk with God, and loving others through the power of the Holy Spirit. In a culture marked by division, conflict, and confusion, this timely discussion reveals why rediscovering agape love may be one of the church's greatest needs today.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Takiyah (T.D.) Harper-Shipman joins us to discuss her new book Unruly Fertility: Race, Development, and Decolonial Reproductive Politics (Stanford University Press, 2026). The discussion traces how modern states—from North Carolina to Senegal—have historically sutured Black women's fertility to the shifting demands of capitalist accumulation, deploying reproductive health policies not as benevolent care but as instruments of crisis management and labor control. Harper-Shipman unpacks the colonial origins of "womanhood" itself as a racialized labor category constructed during European enclosures, one that has always excluded Black women from its aspirational promises of citizenship, consumption, and reproductive autonomy. Drawing on Federici, Mies, Spillers, and Angela Davis, she argues that Black women enter the modern political economy as producers of workers—never citizens—and that contemporary feminist movements risk replicating white womanhood's assumptions when they abandon class analysis or ignore the chains of production behind their demands. The conversation also examines the recent closure of USAID, an institution Takiyah describes as fundamentally about the preservation of white life and the extension of U.S. empire. Rather than mourn its end, she urges us to seize this rupture and continue dismantling the colonial infrastructure of reproductive governance it represented. The conversation closes with a powerful critique of the epistemic violence embedded in global family planning campaigns—how metrics like "unmet need" were designed to serve supplier interests, not Black women's desires, and how Black women's embodied knowledge about contraceptive side effects is systematically dismissed as myth while dangerous technologies banned in the Global North are actively promoted across Africa. Throughout, we explore the Americanization of Black political identity from World War II through 9/11 to Obama's presidency, tracing how Black people have been conscripted into U.S. imperial projects through strategic moments of violence and national belonging. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation; additional questions will be addressed in an August follow-up. T.D. Harper-Shipman is an Associate Professor and Chair of Africana Studies at Davidson College in North Carolina. She teaches courses and publishes on political economy and its intersection with race and gender in Africa. She has published in p Antipode, Oxford Academic, Third World Quarterly, and International Studies Review, among other places. She is an academic editor at Third World Quarterly and forum editor with the Miami Institute of Social Sciences. Her first book, Rethinking Ownership of Development in Africa was published with Routledge Press in 2019. She has also published in public-facing forums including Africa is a Country and the Global African Worker.

An outside broadcast of sorts! Coming to you from an island paradise, this episode started in Senegal and Mali, sailed away to Cuba, Italy, Taiwan, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Germany before heading homeward to BC via Georgia, California and Louisiana. The 3rd hour had a distinctly Irish flavour, peppered with plenty of Canadiana, and hour 4 drifted away to Spain, Scotland and Cape Breton before returning to Louisiana for some stomping Cajun music by The Revelers (who play their first Vancouver show for 8 years next Friday) - and there was a surprise or two at the end.

Associate producer of DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST (1991) and legendary film programmer FLOYD WEBB is back on the podcast with a pair of movies set in Africa, but only one of them is filmed there. It shouldn't be too hard to guess which one. First, Mory and Anta, a pair of young lovers dream of leaving the dusty streets of Dakar in Senegal for their fantasies of Paris in TOUKI BOUKI (1973). Director Djibril Diop Mambéty's visual masterpiece starts out hyper realistic but becomes more hallucinatory as Mory and Anta plan their escape. Emergency guest host Darren Norris says that it feels like somebody is telling you their dream. The image of Mory and Anta riding on a motorcycle with a zebu steer skull attached to the handlebars was recreated by Beyoncé and Jay-Z to promote their 2018 world tour and the movie was named the 66th greatest film of all time on Sight and Sound's Critic's Poll in 2022. Streaming on Criterion and HBOMax. Then Richard Widmark is a Viking conman and Sidney Poitier is a Moorish King and their both after "The Mother of All Voices," a bell made with half of the gold in all the world, in THE LONG SHIPS (1964), an historical epic that's a little heavy on the cheese while being groundbreaking in actually having a Black person portray the ruler of an empire. Directed by Jack Cardiff, the master of Technicolor who was the director of photography of Powell and Pressberger's visual feasts THE RED SHOES (1948), A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH (46), and BLACK NARCISSUS (47) along with John Huston's THE AFRICAN QUEEN (51). Hey, he also shot Rambo and Conan sequels in the 80s. Also starring Russ Tamblyn in Viking hotpants and Rosanna Schiaffino in the outfit that inspired Princess Leia's geddup from RETURN OF THE JEDI. Streaming on tubi. Philena couldn't make it becasue she can't deal with the animal snuff no matter how artfully filmed the graphic slaughter of goats and steers may be, and her dad Greg is on assignment, but so they sent their cousin DARREN NORRIS from the CULTURAL FUTURES EXCHANGE podcast as an emergency guest host!

El primer ministro Benjamin Netanyahu ha recibido a Jared Kushner, yerno de Donald Trump y uno de sus enviados especiales para el conflicto de Gaza. Sobre la mesa del encuentro, la negativa expresada recientemente por el ejecutivo israelí a aceptar el plan de paz de Trump para la Franja, con el argumento de que Israel no puede aceptar ningún plan mientras Hamas no se desarme completamente antes.Hoy Netanyahu ha vuelto a reiterar su postura ante Kushner aunque fuentes de la propia junta de paz dicen que ha sido una reunión productiva y que ha habido avances. El presidente estadounidense ha dicho que va a reducir la participación de sus fuerzas en ejercicios militares con Corea del Sur mientras publica una foto suya con el líder norcoreano Kim Jong Un.Ponemos el foco en las amenazas híbridas y repasamos también el papel actual del formato documental en un año en el que Documentos TV de TVE ha cumplido 40 años desde su primera emisión.Hablaremos de la condena contra el líder de uno de los pocos partidos políticos rusos opuestos a la guerra de Ucrania.También de migración, de como Senegal y Gambia tratan de redibujar su frontera, herencia colonial, o de un triste aniversario en Filipinas.Escuchar audio
In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Jose Duran.About Jose Duran: Born in Moca, Dominican Republic, Duran is a painter, designer, and sculptor whose work constructs elaborate, opulent interiors rooted in Baroque and Rococo traditions. His practice is grounded in extensive research into survival, celebration, vengeance, sabotage, and aspirational desire within Black communities. Duran centers Black feminine figures in his compositions as a reclamation of their historically overlooked contributions to European standards of taste, and as a form of retribution for generations of forced labor under colonial rule.In the conversation, Duran discusses his early career in fashion, including time spent studying and working in Paris, as well as an MBA program in Taipei focused on the Asian luxury market. He explains his decision, at age 41, to leave the fashion industry behind and commit fully to becoming a visual artist, a shift shaped in part by a residency in Senegal that marked his entry into the art world.Duran describes the influence of his late mother, a hairstylist whose gatherings between the Bronx and the Dominican Republic shaped his early understanding of beauty, celebration, and hospitality. He also outlines his research process, including his study of the historical relationship between textiles and the transatlantic slave trade, and his investigation into love-attraction plants once used by enslaved women in the Caribbean, both of which directly inform his work.The conversation also touches on Duran's early relationship with artist Mickalene Thomas, and how that connection shaped both his confidence and his development as an artist.Follow Jose Duran on Instagram at @joseduranstudio to keep up with his work and future projects.Photo courtesy of subject.

In Senegal, rice farmers are trying to kill three birds with one stone – er, fish. Rice and fish are already a natural combination; they're even the main ingredients of thieboudienne, the delicious national dish. But could that combination also reduce a debilitating disease, boost food security AND help farmers make more money? A team of researchers are conducting an ambitious experiment to see whether growing rice and fish together can be a win-win-win for Senegal, and NPR's Jonathan Lambert came along for the ride.Interested in more science-based biological solutions?

In this release, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre enters a new period of conflict and transition. In Chapter 10, we see his final years in Dakar, as Senegal moves toward independence and the Church faces difficult questions about Islam, socialism, inculturation, Catholic Action, and the future of Africa. Through it all, he remains steady: courteous and practical, but unwilling to compromise Catholic truth. Then, in Chapter 11, he is sent to the small French diocese of Tulle, where he finds a Church weakened by decline, discouragement, and confusion. Yet even there, in only a few months, he encourages priests, defends sound Catholic action, and begins planning renewal — before being called again to a much larger responsibility.

In this release, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre receives a new and daunting mission: Pope Pius XII appoints him Apostolic Delegate for French-speaking Africa. Now, while still shepherding Dakar, he must represent the Holy See across dozens of missionary territories, from Morocco and Senegal to Madagascar and Réunion. Chapter 9 shows him encouraging bishops, creating new dioceses, helping choose future pastors, raising funds, bringing in religious congregations, and strengthening the Church's presence across a rapidly changing Africa. We see his loyalty to Rome, his practical genius, his calm authority, and his deep concern that the African Church be truly Catholic, missionary, and rooted in strong native clergy.
