Ander Arandia y Garbiñe Arroyuelo emprendieron el 15 de septiembre de 2022 un viaje en bicicleta tándem por África Occidental. Durante ocho meses y medio, recorrieron diez países, desde Marruecos hasta Costa de Marfil, enfrentándose a retos físicos y personales, viviendo anécdotas inolvidables y adaptando sus planes según las circunstancias. Inicialmente, su idea era llegar hasta Uganda, pero la experiencia les enseñó que el ritmo del viaje y la realidad de cada etapa marcan el camino. Recorrieron Marruecos, Sáhara Occidental, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Casamance (sur de Senegal), Guinea Bissau, Guinea Conakry, Sierra Leona, Liberia y Costa de Marfil. En este pódcast comparten las motivaciones que los llevaron a iniciar esta aventura, los momentos que definieron su ruta y el aprendizaje que trajeron consigo al regresar a casa el 29 de mayo de 2023. ⚠️ Más información y fotos en: https://bit.ly/ander-y-garbi ❤️ ¿Te gusta este podcast?

Senegal, es historia y misterios, pero además es hospitalidad y solidaridad, eso es lo que significa Teranga. Desde hace quince años la ONG Hospitaleros Sin Fronteras, la única vinculada al Camino de Santiago, trabaja en las Daaras con Niños Talibé de Saly, Malicunda y Mbour. Fran Contreras junto con Miguel Ángel Rodríguez (Albergue Reboleira-Fonfría/Lugo) y Celes Alonso (Albergue El Cántaro - Navarrete/La Rioja), todos miembros de Hospitaleros Sin Fronteras, nos cuentan como es su trabajo y el de los más de cien voluntarios en Senegal.

De zang van dit citroengele vogeltje wordt omschreven als een rollende munt of een knikker op een metalen plaat. Als je rond half april voor het eerst zijn heldere zang hoort in de frisgroene beukenbossen, dan weet je: summer is coming… Luister naar het geluid van de fluiter in onze podcast Notenkrakers.Fluiters zijn echte langeafstandtrekkers, die ver weg overwinteren in de Guineese bossen van Afrika, ten zuiden van de Sahara, van Senegal tot in Kenia. Ze komen pas laat in het voorjaar terug in Nederland en België. Vanaf half april tot in mei, als de loofbomen al fris groen zijn uitgelopen, arriveren de fluiters. Hoog in het dichte loofbos zingen ze dan hun karakteristieke lied.Verder in deze podcast: Timo Roeke van Vogelbescherming Nederland vertelt dat hij een smelleken zag en dat hij graag eens in de huid van deze vogel zou kruipen. Roots-redacteur Paul Böhre zag een beflijster én hij legt uit waarom boerenzwaluwen van die lange staartpennen hebben. Henk Meeuwsen vertelt het verhaal achter de geluidsopname van de fluiter. Plus: waarom gaat het zo goed met de raven in Nederland?

Come prepare your heart for the season of redemption.

Esta semana, em Moçambique voltou a viver ataques terroristas em Cabo Delgado, enquanto em Sofala, sete viaturas foram atacadas por homens desconhecidos. Em Angola, a queda do preço do petróleo pode impactar o Orçamento de 2025, mas a Sonangol garante o cumprimento das metas de produção. Na Guiné-Bissau, denúncias apontam mortes de pacientes por falta de hemodiálise no Hospital Simão Mendes. Em São Tomé e Príncipe, investigações contra corrupção envolvem oito ministérios. Em Moçambique, as aldeias do distrito de Ancuabe, na província de Cabo Delgado, no norte do país, foram alvo de novos ataques terroristas. Este surge numa altura de crescente violência na região, que coincide com o anúncio da Total sobre o refinanciamento do seu mega projeto no norte do país. Os ataques ocorrem após declarações de Daniel Chapo, que afirmou que os grupos armados estavam em debandada. No entanto, conforme indicado por Abdul Tavares, Coordenador Provincial para Cabo Delgado do Centro Para Democracia e Direitos Humanos, a situação continua preocupante.O ministro do Interior de Moçambique, Paulo Chachine, reconheceu a continuidade dos ataques terroristas em alguns distritos de Cabo Delgado, sinalizando uma preocupação com a segurança na região.Ainda esta semana, em Moçambique, sete viaturas foram atacadas ao longo da estrada nacional número 1, na província de Sofala, no centro do país. Um grupo de homens desconhecidos atacou as viaturas, saqueando bens dos automobilistas e passageiros, incluindo um transporte público. A polícia local, sob comando de Ernesto Madungue, iniciou investigações sobre as motivações do ataque, e garantiu que a circulação foi restabelecida de forma normal, após o controlo da situação.Angola: Impactos da guerra comercialA guerra comercial entre os Estados Unidos e a China tem levado à queda do preço do petróleo no mercado internacional, com o barril do tipo Brent cotado a 60,79 dólares, abaixo da previsão de 70 dólares considerada no Orçamento Geral do Estado de 2025, em Angola. Apesar dessa queda, a Sonangol, empresa estatal de petróleo, assegura que cumprirá as metas de produção estabelecidas pelo governo angolano, com a produção de um milhão e 98 mil barris por dia. No entanto, o presidente da Sonangol, Sebastião Martins, reconhece que os impactos da guerra comercial, especialmente no preço do petróleo, podem afectar as projecções económicas de Angola, exigindo possíveis ajustes no orçamento nacional.Guiné-Bissau: Denúncia sobre mortes por falta de cuidados em hemodiáliseNa Guiné-Bissau, o  presidente da Liga Guineense dos Direitos Humanos, Bubacar Turé, fez uma denúncia ao revelar que todos os pacientes submetidos à hemodiálise no Hospital Simão Mendes faleceram. Embora não tenha fornecido números exactos, a denúncia destaca a falta de condições adequadas para o tratamento. A Liga já tinha alertado o governo sobre a complexidade do tratamento de hemodiálise, apontando a carência de equipamentos adequados e de profissionais qualificados para garantir a segurança dos pacientes.São Tomé e Príncipe: Operação de combate à corrupçãoEm São Tomé e Príncipe, o ministério Público conduziu uma operação denominada SAFE, Sistema de Administração Financeira do Estado, para investigar possíveis crimes de peculato, burla e associação criminosa. O Procurador-Geral da República, Kelve Nobre Carvalho, informou que oito ministérios foram alvo da investigação, com o objectivo de esclarecer eventuais práticas criminosas dentro da administração pública. A operação visa reforçar a luta contra a corrupção no país.Senegal e Angola: Fortalecimento de laços económicosPor fim, em Dacar, Senegal, decorreu o primeiro Fórum Económico entre Senegal e Angola, no âmbito da Zona de Comércio Livre Continental Africana (ZCLCA). O evento, que contou com a presença de mais de cem empresários dos dois países, com vista a estreitar os laços económicos e explorar novas oportunidades comerciais. A secretária de Estado do Comércio de Angola, Augusta Fortes, destacou a possibilidade de reactivar acordos comerciais bilaterais e mencionou avanços nas áreas de transportes aéreos e agricultura, como parte da agenda de cooperação futura entre os dois países.

Late last year a new museum opened its doors in Lagos, Nigeria, called The John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture and History. It is among a new generation of African cultural institutions – including the Bet Bi museum in Senegal, by Mariam Kamara, and the Museum of West African Art in Benin City by Adjaye Associates – which in different ways attempts to reimagine both the form and format of the contemporary museum from an African perspective. This week we speak with Seun Oduwole, who lead the design of the John Randle Centre. Oduwole is a Nigerian architect and the Principal Architect at SI.SA, a Lagos-based firm he founded in 2015. He earned his architecture degree from the University of Nottingham and gained experience at Hopkins & Partners, Benoy, and Sheppard Robson. Upon returning to Nigeria, he worked at Shelter Design Partnership and later became a partner at Brown inQ before establishing SI.SA. ​ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With Matt Ehret away, Ghost steps into the Breaking History host seat for a solo Geopolitics deep dive that covers more ground than a Mossad operation. Kicking things off with the eerie timing of “Liberation Day,” Ghost connects the dots between the commuted death sentences of three Americans in the DRC, Mossad's 2019 coup attempts, Dan Gertler's diamond cartel ties, and Yossi Cohen's shady visits with Congo's president. From there, it's a wild journey through Africa's political awakening, touching on M23 rebel negotiations, Russia's push for digital sovereignty, Senegal's rejection of colonial currency, and the historic pardons of Burkina Faso's imprisoned soldiers. Ghost wraps it all in a rich historical context: coups, corruption, child slave labor in the cobalt mines, and the multipolar power struggle playing out across the continent. If you want to understand why Africa matters in the fight against globalism, this one's a must-listen.

Inside the Trump White House: Faith, Fierceness & Funny Moments with Sage Steele In this powerhouse episode of our exclusive podcast series from the White House, Sage Steele sits down with five of the most influential voices in the Trump administration: Karoline Leavitt, Harrison Fields, Linda McMahon, Kaelen Dorr, and Russ Vought. What do they all have in common? A fierce work ethic, a heart for public service—and most strikingly, a deep and unapologetic faith that guides their decision-making at the highest levels of government.

Lauren Ducrey is a poet who developed an authentic persona for Google's automated assistant in France, Senegal and other Francophone nations. In the process she discovered insights about the intersection of art, linguistics, and human cognition in the age of AI.  She tells the Futurists about artistic integrity, what humans can do that machines cannot, and the benefits of collaborative creativity in the enterprise. 

Aspiring to lead in theater?   In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Khady Kamara Nunez, Executive Director of the Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC). Before this role, Khady served as Executive Director of Second Stage Theater, where she was part of the leadership team that won a Tony Award for Take Me Out.   Khady shares her inspiring journey from Senegal to the U.S., where a night at the theater changed her life's trajectory. Though her decision to pursue theater initially caused friction—her mother hung up when she called to share the news—Khady followed her passion and learned invaluable lessons along the way:   Embrace the Pivot: Pursuing your passion can be uncertain, but taking the leap allows you to live without regrets. If needed, you can always pivot later. Embrace Failure: Facing the unknown, like navigating and leading theater during COVID, showed Khady that mistakes are opportunities to learn and improve. Know Your Values: When Khady discovered a report showing a lack of people of color leading regional theaters, she was motivated by her belief in representation and set her sights on becoming a leader in the industry.   Thank you, Khady, for showing us the power of resilience and passion in leadership!

"This piece was made from a field recording of African Fish Eagles in duet at Djoudj Bird Sanctuary in Senegal. The recording has been processed through software to manipulate its pitch and other characteristics, in order to unearth mutations in timbre of the birdsong and create a chorus of ersatz birdsong. What interested me about working with this sound is the questions it raises about the nature of documentation and preservation; whilst serving its primary function as documentation of a type of bird, it is also the documentation of specific birds at a particular time and place. How many recordings are necessary to document animals in a way that expresses differences among individuals?" African fish eagles in Senegal reimagined by Kiran Arora. IMAGE: Charles J.

Segun Lawson, President and CEO of Thor Explorations (TSX.V: THX) (AIM: THX) (OTC: THXPF), joins me to review the optionality that being debt free with large margins from gold production is providing.  This is allowing the Company to increase exploration initiatives around the Segilola Mine, in Nigeria, as well as exploration activities at the Douta Gold Project, in Senegal.  We also discuss the ramp of exploration over at the Guitry Gold Project and exploration portfolio in Cote D'Ivoire.   Segun reiterated the 2025 guidance at the Segilola Mine is still on track for 85,000 – 95,000 ounces of gold production this year.  The Company anticipates very nice margins at the current $3,000 gold prices and a projected full year 2025 All-in Sustaining Cost (“AISC”) guidance of $900 to $1,000 per ounce.  We also reiterated the key company milestone in Q4 of the final and full repayment of the senior debt facility with Africa Finance Corporation (“AFC”). The Company now has no senior debt and has a net cash position in 2025.   The exploration team is busy with ongoing drilling around the Segilola mine, both at depth under the existing pit and also at surface delineating potential satellite pits to extend the mine life.  Any resource expansion will be very accretive as there will be no more material capex as the sunk costs have already been paid for, so this remains a key focus of the Company.   Transitioning over to the Douta Project, the RC drilling program last year was focused on increasing the percentage of oxide resources at the Makosa East Prospect, which runs parallel to the main Makosa mineralized trend and is ongoing. Then on March 24th, a press released announced that two discovery holes in its Douta-West license, at the Baraka 3 Prospect, returned 19 meters (m) at 2.46g/t Au from 29m depth, and 26m at 1.31 g/t Au from 21m depth.  Segun outlines that they have wanted to keep drilling this new Douta-West concession because it may be meaningful at the early part of the mining sequence, improve the payback and economics, and this will be factored into the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) and Mineral Resource Estimate, as the next major milestone for the company later this year.   Wrapping up we discussed the early stage exploration prospectivity and work planned later this year at their 100% interest in the Guitry Gold Project in Cote D'Ivoire. The exploration portfolio at the Guitry and Boundiali licenses will see the continuation of geochemical work programs and an initial drill program on identified targets.     If you have any questions for Segun regarding Thor Explorations, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   *In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Thor Explorations at the time of this interview.   Click here to follow the latest news from Thor Explorations

In this Brush Pass episode of Brush Pass, Le Carre Cast and Barbican Station podcast host Jeff Quest, gives us the lowdown on two spy-related theatrical productions: 'Operation Mincemeat' and 'Dakar 2000'. Operation Mincemeat on Broadway John Golden Theatre   252 W. 45th St., New York, NY The stunning true story of a scheme every bit as dicey, daring, and ridiculous as opening a new musical on Broadway! The best-reviewed show in West End history is now on Broadway! 74 ★★★★★ Reviews and Counting! (which, according to our calculations, adds up to 370 stars) SYNOPSIS: It's 1943, and the Allied Forces are on the ropes. Luckily, they've got a trick up their sleeve. Well, not up their sleeve, per se, but rather inside the pocket of a stolen corpse. Equal parts farce, thriller, and Ian Fleming-style spy caper (with an assist from Mr. Fleming himself), Operation Mincemeat tells the wildly improbable and hilarious true story of the covert operation that turned the tide of WWII. SCHEDULE: March 25–30: Tuesday @7pm, Wednesday @2pm and 7:30pm, Thursday @7pm, Friday @7:30pm, Saturday @2pm and 7:30pm, Sunday @2pm Running Time: 2 hours and 30 minutes with one intermission Dakar 2000 In Senegal on the eve of Y2K, an idealistic Peace Corps volunteer survives a mysterious car accident. An imposing State Department operative immediately takes command of the situation and his safety. Though they couldn't be more different, they form an unlikely relationship. But when it becomes clear that they both have secrets, the volunteer is roped into a darker side of public service – one he can't come back from. Unpredictable at every turn, this world-premiere thriller was commissioned by Manhattan Theatre Club. Written by Rajiv Joseph (Pulitzer Prize finalist for Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo; King James at MTC) and directed by May Adrales (Vietgone and Poor Yella Rednecks at MTC).   Have you watched Operation Mincemeat and/or Dakar 2000?

Ansa - di Anna Laura Bussa.

I speak with Jonathan Reynolds about African Independence Movements in Algeria, Guinea, Senegal, Kenya, and Congo. Dr. Reynolds is a professor of African and World History at Northern Kentucky University and the former president of the World History Association. He is a wealth of knowledge on all things Africa and just an overall blast to speak with. You can also check out my episode with him on Africa and the Cold War. 

In January, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger officially withdrew from the Economic Community of West African States, or ECOWAS, having already established the Alliance of Sahel States, or AES, as an alternative regional grouping. The move has had a multitude of consequences, including ongoing diplomatic spats between the AES states and those that remain committed to ECOWAS, as well as challenges to trade and freedom of movement across the region. But the security implications of the fracturing of ECOWAS as a regional bloc are also important to consider, as West Africa faces an array of challenges that are increasingly affecting what are usually thought of as the region's more stable coastal countries, such as Senegal, Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire. All three of the military-run AES states face long-running jihadist and domestic insurgencies, including armed groups with links to the Islamic State and al-Qaida. Most prominent among them are the Islamic State-Sahel Province and Jamaat Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin, or JNIM, which is affiliated with al-Qaida and is also active in northern Cote d'Ivoire, Benin and Togo. These groups have been active throughout the Sahel for over a decade, typically exploiting local grievances and intercommunal tensions, particularly between farmers and pastoralists as well as against the Peuhl community, which is often portrayed as being sympathetic to the jihadists. The jihadists mobilize these tensions to stoke conflict and recruit among marginalized communities in a broader effort to seize territory and create an Islamic caliphate in the Sahel and West Africa. These groups have targeted civilians and government forces alike, and their attacks have often been tactically sophisticated and significant in impact. In August 2024, for instance, an attack by JNIM in Barsalogho, in northern Burkina Faso, killed around 600 people. And in November 2023, an ambush in Niger's Tillaberi region killed at least 200 soldiers and wounded at least 34 others. Jihadist violence has increased at an accelerating rate in recent years, killing 11,643 people across the Sahel in 2023, a 43 percent increase from the previous year and a threefold increase since 2020, according to the African Centre for Strategic Studies. It has also increasingly spilled over into coastal West African states, with Ghana, Togo, Benin and Cote d'Ivoire all now threatened by these groups as well, albeit to a much lesser extent than the Sahelian states. In Togo, an attack on an army barracks last year killed 12 soldiers, for instance, and JNIM is increasingly fortifying its positions near the borders of Togo and Benin. The problems posed by insecurity are exacerbated by the refugee crisis that violence in the Sahel is causing. By early 2025, nearly 87,000 people had fled their homes in the Sahel into coastal countries. This has put a strain on local communities, especially in Cote d'Ivoire, where nearly 58,000 of the refugees have fled. The rampant insecurity has also fueled political instability, with the three AES states having experienced a combined five coups between 2020 and 2023. The ECOWAS split could exacerbate many of these security challenges, not least because it has created or exacerbated tensions between many countries that have remained in ECOWAS and those that have left. In the past 12-18 months, for instance, Cote d'Ivoire, known as a staunch defender of ECOWAS, and neighboring Burkina Faso have engaged in repeated diplomatic spats linked to mutual fears of destabilization as well as Burkina Faso's rejection of the region's and ECOWAS' historical pro-Western leanings. Gun battles and disputes at the border between Burkinabe and Ivoirian troops have become common, with Ivoirian gendarmes having even been detained in Burkina Faso. Earlier this year Burkina Faso withdrew its diplomatic personnel from Cote d'Ivoire. These disputes have increased instability on the two countries' shared border, exacerbating tensions driven by an inflow of Burk...

Creating a coffee shop that is not only for the community but built with the community is a pretty magical thing. It requires a deft balance between decisiveness, confidence, and openness to collaboration with others to make it truly sing.  Today we are talking with someone who has taken this challenge on and in the process set the tone for what a coffee shop experience can look like in a region that is steeped in tradition and poised for growth in the coffee sector. I am thrilled to talk with Aisha Bullard, Fouder of Original Drip in Dakar, Senegal, as well as the cafe's Art Director Modou (MAD) Diongue! An irresistible sense of wanderlust is how US attorney and Original Drip Founder, Aisha Bullard, first found herself captivated by the beauty of Dakar, Senegal's largest city. After traveling to nearly 40 countries around the globe, her heart fell in love with this bustling metropolis. She relocated her family and life to the area and soon worked remotely from a space she rented in Virage. It wasn't long before Aisha felt compelled to open the space to the public for working and connecting. In her quest to secure the perfect beans, she discovered Rwandan coffee expert Smayah Uwajeneza. Aisha's request for help to materialize her dream was met with this caffeine queen's bubbling excitement. Before they knew it, a plan unfolded to create an inviting setting for socialization while finessing a deeper African bond with this hot beverage. As you can see, even the very origins of Original Drip lie within the enchantment of connection. Passionate about the arts, Mad in Pixel has always shown a talent for creative expression. His artistic journey began when he learned to draw on the walls of his family home. Although he initially took a path towards theological studies, the desire to communicate through visual forms remained a constant companion. By interacting with professionals, he developed a solid expertise in the visual arts and other traditional disciplines, enriched by influences from literature, pop culture, fantasy literature and urban art. The introduction of computer technology in 2004 further broadened the horizons of his creative endeavors. As a self-taught artist, he uses creativity as a bridge to connect and unify communities. He has held positions of responsibility such as art director, illustrator and director in various communications agencies.In 2019, he took a major step forward by setting up his own creative studio, PIXELS SQUAD. Driven by the desire to create and inspire works he relies on collaboration with artists, organizations and brands.

My guest today is Yasemin Saltuk Lamy, Head of Investment Strategy at Legal & General (L&G), a London-based multinational financial services and asset management company. And believe it or not, her investment journey started when she was only 18.Back then, she had been dreaming of studying in Senegal to experience a French-speaking African economy. But then, the University of Pennsylvania's study abroad office made her an offer she couldn't ignore: a $12,000 scholarship to study in Scotland.For most students, that would have been a no-brainer – they would have spent it on books, rent, or maybe a bit of travel… But Yasemin saw it as an investment opportunity.She did the math, figured she could live on $6,000, and put the rest into high-growth equities. It was 1998, the height of the dot-com boom. Her investment skyrocketed – until the bubble burst. Long story short, it took nearly a decade just to break even.It was a tough experience at such a young age, but a powerful one. Watching markets rise and fall, she realized she wanted to understand the bigger picture – how economies impact people's lives.And she had a strong background for that. Born in Istanbul, Turkey, Yasemin grew up between two worlds. After a military coup d'état, her parents moved the family to the U.S., settling in Rhode Island.Every summer, she returned to Turkey, experiencing firsthand the stark economic contrasts between her two homes. In the U.S., she valued independence and opportunity. In Turkey, she saw the power of family networks and community-driven economies.But it wasn't until she moved back to Turkey as an adult that she truly felt the financial instability of inflation. She then abandoned her plan to pursue a Ph.D. in pure mathematics and instead studied financial mathematics at King's College London.After starting out as a high school math teacher, Yasemin moved into finance, bringing with her a strong focus on leadership and impact. At J.P. Morgan, she helped launch the Social Finance Team, and later at British International Investment, she led the Catalyst Portfolio – using catalytic capital to de-risk investments and crowd in private capital for emerging markets and climate projects.Now at Legal & General, she's focused on bridging institutional capital with sustainable investments. She's using her experience with catalytic capital to make high-impact projects – especially in climate resilience and infrastructure – less risky and more attractive to traditional investors like pension funds and insurers.In this interview, Yasemin breaks down how catalytic capital is transforming impact investing and why pension funds have a duty to invest in the right things to protect long-term asset value.The future of finance isn't just about returns – it's about reshaping the system to work for people and the planet. Tune in to hear how Yasemin is making it happen.—About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.

Lawmakers in Germany's Bundestag have passed a colossal defence and infrastructure spending package tabled by Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz. It includes a special €500 billion fund to update the country's infrastructure over the next 12 years and an exemption for big defence spending from its prized "debt brake" system designed to ensure fiscal discipline. Plus, residents in western Senegal are voicing anger over a gigantic mining operation by French company Eramet.

Wo bleibt der Widerstand gegen Donald Trump? Wie reagieren die Demokraten in den USA? Viele Fragen wie diese sind US-Journalistin Jiffer Bourguignon und Tagesthemen-Moderator Ingo Zamperoni nach ihrer vergangenen Podcast-Folge gestellt worden. Wer wehrt sich gegen den radikalen Umbau des Staates? Und wie erfolgreich? "Die demokratischen Wähler sind unzufrieden mit ihrer eigenen Partei", sagt Ingo dazu, weil es noch an einer Strategie als Antwort auf Trump und seine Dekrete fehle. Obwohl sich republikanische Politiker inzwischen viel Wut in ihren Wahlkreisen anhören müssen. Während Jiffer und Ingo im Senegal unterwegs sind, erleben sie die Folgen der eingestellten US-Entwicklungshilfe hautnah. Vor über 20 Jahren hat die US-Journalistin für eine Entwicklungshilfeorganisation in der Region gearbeitet. Jetzt fehlt Unterstützung für die Ärmsten, die häufig aus den Krisengebieten im Sahel in den Senegal geflohen sind. Die Staaten vor Ort müssten mehr Verantwortung übernehmen, so Trump. Jiffer beklagt vor allem die Kurzfristigkeit bei Trumps Entscheidungen: "Die Regierung hier vor Ort kann sicher mehr Verantwortung übernehmen, aber es geht nicht von einem Tag auf den anderen", sagt sie. Derweil will der US-Präsident den russischen Krieg gegen die Ukraine schnell beenden. Dazu will Trump höchstpersönlich zum Telefon greifen und Vladimir Putin anrufen. Im Gespräch mit Kai Küstner, der den NDR-Podcast "Streitkräfte und Strategien" hostet, analysieren Jiffer und Ingo diesen Konflikt. Denn kann ein Telefonat mit Vladimir Putin überhaupt für einen echten Frieden in der Ukraine sorgen? US-Präsident Trump zumindest gibt sich optimistisch. "Am Wochenende ist viel gearbeitet worden", hat er Journalisten beim Rückflug von Florida nach Washington berichtet. Und vermittelt dabei nicht den Eindruck, dass die Ukraine an diesen Gesprächen beteiligt wurden. "Langfristig gesehen bin ich nicht überoptimistisch – um es mal freundlich auszudrücken. Russland fühlt sich aktuell in einer Position der Stärke. Es gibt militärisch keinen Grund für Zugeständnisse", schätzt Kai Küstner die Chancen für einen Frieden in der Ukraine ein.

In this compelling episode of Bleeding Daylight, Rodney Olsen speaks with Kari Hunnicutt, a passionate advocate for international missions and author of "Dormant Faith." Kari shares her transformative journey from simply sponsoring a child to becoming deeply involved with Christian education in Senegal through Go On The Mission. Her experiences witnessing persecuted believers' unwavering commitment contrasted sharply with Western Christianity's struggles to move beyond passive church attendance.   Kari challenges listeners to examine their own spiritual lives, discussing how modern distractions create what one Iranian believer called a "satanic lullaby" that dulls Western Christians' spiritual senses. Through personal stories of witnessing the Holy Spirit's power in remote African villages and her own family's busy life balancing four children and multiple passions, Kari offers practical insights for keeping faith active and responsive to God's invitations in our hectic world.   WEBLINKS Devoted Explorer Dormant Faith (Book) Go On the Mission

In West Africa, women are on the cutting edge of musical and cultural progress. This program looks at four singer/composers with roots in tradition and unique ideas about how to keep them current in the fast-changing milieu of today's African music. Mali's Fatoumata Diawara keeps her focus on messages, mixing traditional sounds and rock idioms to reach young audiences. Senegal's Aida Samb is finding new avenues for that country's trademark mbalax sound, including collaborations with Afrobeats stars like Wizkid. Elida Almeida of Cape Verde has emerged as a freewheeling composer, able to draw on whatever influences she likes, and it's working for fans of all generations. And Benin's Angelique Kidjo, never one to sit back on her many successes, has covered Talking Heads' 1980 album Remain in Light, in its entirety, re-Africanizing a rock classic for a new time. We'll speak with all four artists, and hear their latest music. Produced by Banning Eyre APWW #785

Patriarchy and misogyny fuel global conflicts that further increase the oppression of women and girls. But the resistance of women and girls remains steadfast. Sally Armstrong, award-winning war correspondent, author, and human rights activist, joins us to share their stories. Highlights include:  How Sally broke the story about mass rape in the Balkan War in the 1990s that was ignored by male-dominated mainstream media; How patriarchy became established and why women's role in human history has been unrecorded and ignored;  Why cultural relativism can be an enemy of greater justice for girls and women; How misinterpretations of religious doctrine are used as justification for continued oppression of girls and women; How women and girls from Bosnia to Kenya to Afghanistan to Senegal continue to resist the injustice of patriarchy and misogyny in their daily lives. See episode website for show notes, links, and transcript:  https://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/sally-armstrong   OVERSHOOT | Shrink Toward Abundance OVERSHOOT tackles today's interlocked social and ecological crises driven by humanity's excessive population and consumption. The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.  Hosted by Nandita Bajaj and Alan Ware.

Full Text of ReadingsFriday of the Seventh Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 345The Saint of the day is Blessed Daniel BrottierBlessed Daniel Brottier's Story Daniel spent most of his life in the trenches—one way or another. Born in France in 1876, Daniel was ordained in 1899 and began a teaching career. That didn't satisfy him long. He wanted to use his zeal for the gospel far beyond the classroom. He joined the missionary Congregation of the Holy Spirit, which sent him to Senegal, West Africa. After eight years there, his health was suffering. He was forced to return to France, where he helped raise funds for the construction of a new cathedral in Senegal. At the outbreak of World War I, Daniel became a volunteer chaplain and spent four years at the front. He did not shrink from his duties. Indeed, he risked his life time and again in ministering to the suffering and dying. It was miraculous that he did not suffer a single wound during his 52 months in the heart of battle. After the war he was invited to help establish a project for orphaned and abandoned children in a Paris suburb. He spent the final 13 years of his life there. He died in 1936 and was beatified by Pope John Paul II in Paris only 48 years later. Reflection Blessed Daniel might be called “Teflon Dan” since nothing seemed to harm him while in the midst of war. God intended to use him in some pretty wonderful ways for the good of the Church and he willingly served. He is a good example for all of us.
