South Korea partially withdrew from an inter-Korean military agreement over North Korea's successful launch of a reconnaissance satellite last week. In response, Pyongyang announced it would scrap the Comprehensive Military Agreement in its entirety, and both sides have since pledged to rebuild guard posts along the border. NK News Data Correspondent Anton Sokolin talks about what this could mean for future relations, as well as local elections that took place in North Korea over the weekend.  Then, outgoing United Nations Command (UNC) Deputy Commander Lt. Gen. Andrew Harrison sits down in the studio to talk about his work for the multinational military force tasked with maintaining the Korean War Armistice and peace on the peninsula.  He also discusses a meeting earlier this month that brought together top defense officials of South Korea and 17 UNC member states, as well as the roles that troops from some 11 countries play in UNC work like demining and recovering bodies from the demilitarized zone.  Lieutenant General Andrew Harrison is a senior officer in the British Army who serves as the Deputy Commander of United Nations Command in South Korea and the Colonel Commandant of the Parachute Regiment. He previously completed tours in Northern Ireland, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan and Iraq.  About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot (@JaccoZed) exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.

C dans l'air l'invitée du 29 novembre 2023 - María Teresa Mestre, Grande-Duchesse de Luxembourg. Mardi 14 novembre, la police israélienne a annoncé enquêter sur plusieurs cas de violences sexuelles, dont des viols et des mutilations, commises sur des femmes par des combattants du Hamas lors des attaques terroristes menées par le mouvement islamiste le 7 octobre. La femme du président israélien Michal Herzog s'est exprimée dans une tribune : Le "silence des instances internationales face aux viols massifs perpétrés par le Hamas est une trahison envers toutes les femmes". Alors que le viol en situation de conflit est reconnu comme un crime contre l'humanité et un crime de guerre, il reste encore massivement impuni, perpétuant l'impunité. Le viol est défini comme un crime de guerre dans le statut de Rome de 1998 ayant institué la Cour pénale internationale (CPI). Mais pour 45 conflits depuis 1989, seuls 10 se sont soldés par un accord de paix faisant mention de violence sexuelle. L'UNIFEM, l'un des membres fondateurs de l'initiative des Nations Unies contre la violence sexuelle dans les pays en conflit, a rendu public un rapport avec des chiffres pour illustrer les niveaux de viol lors des conflits. Entre 250 000 et 500 000 femmes et filles ont été violées au cours du génocide rwandais en 1994, plus de 60 000 durant la guerre civile en Sierra Leone, entre 20 000 et 50 000 pendant la guerre de Bosnie-Herzégovine, et au moins 200 000 en République démocratique du Congo depuis 1996. La 18em édition du Women's Forum Global Meeting se tient aujourd'hui à Paris. Il se focalisera sur l'éducation avec ce slogan : "Change education, Educate for change" (Changer l'éducation et éduquer pour changer). María Teresa Mestre est la grande-duchesse de Luxembourg.

As abolitionist campaigns gained traction in the late 1700s, the population of formerly enslaved people grew. Those who had been enslaved in the British colonies were ‘freed' - at first in dribs and drabs, then all at once via two landmark pieces of legislation in 1807 and 1834. But a new question arose: what would the formerly enslaved do with their freedom?

La capitale de la Sierra Leone a été le théâtre, ce dimanche, de violents affrontements. Et si la fièvre est retombée, « c'est toujours l'embrouillamini total », écrit Aujourd'hui au Faso. La situation est particulièrement confuse, retrace de son côté Wakat Séra : il est question « d'une poudrière qui aurait été forcée, et des armes dérobées », « les autorités relèvent que des individus non identifiés ont tenté de forcer une armurerie militaire » tandis que « des prisons ont été attaquées, donnant l'occasion à plusieurs détenus de prendre le large. »Autant d'éléments qui poussent Aujourd'hui au Faso à se poser de nombreuses questions : « qui sont ces individus qui ont essayé de forcer l'armurerie du casernement militaire ? Quelles étaient leurs intentions ? Étaient-ce des militaires ou des civils ? »Une autre question : est-ce une tentative de coup d'Etat ?C'est en tout cas ce que semble sous-entendre la Cédéao dans un communiqué condamnant les violences. Le président Julius Maada Bio a, lui, évoqué une tentative de déstabilisation de l'État, en « évitant soigneusement, toutefois, note la BBC Afrique, de parler de tentative de coup. » Pour le Sierra Leone Telegraph, pas de doute : il s'agit bien d'un putsch raté.Aujourd'hui au Faso, de son côté, flaire aussi « une forte odeur de putsch étouffé » dans l'air, et pense pouvoir y déceler « les frustrations contenues par l'opposition à l'issue des élections de juin 2023 », qui, peut-être, « refont surface. » Analyse semble-t-il partagée par le Sierra Leone Telegraph, qui rappelle que « le principal parti d'opposition et les observateurs internationaux ont accusé la commission électorale de ‘voler' les votes, en faveur du président Bio » lors du scrutin. À cela, il faut ajouter une économie « en grande difficulté ». L'inflation atteint les 60 % et « les prix des aliments de base et des biens de première nécessité sont à présent hors de portée des citoyens ordinaires, dont 70 % sont au chômage » écrit encore le titre.Autant d'éléments qui poussent le Telegraph à jouer les Cassandre et craindre que d'autres tentatives vont venir, « jusqu'à ce que la volonté démocratique et les libertés civiles de la population soient respectées. »Une enquête journalistique sur Stanis BujakeraLe média indépendant de République démocratique du Congo a publié hier, dimanche soir une enquête sur les accusations contre le journaliste Stanis Bujakera, que la justice accuse d'avoir fabriqué une note des renseignements décrivant comment ces derniers auraient tué le député Chérubin Okende. Actualite.cd rappelle que « le parquet congolais dit l'avoir identifié comme le premier émetteur de ce document, grâce à une analyse des métadonnées et une adresse IP. » Sauf, que, affirme le journal, « l'enquête menée [par les journalistes] prouve que cette affirmation est fausse. » D'abord, car les responsables de Telegram (service de messagerie cryptée qui aurait été utilisé pour diffuser le document), contactés, assurent que « Telegram supprime toutes les métadonnées, » tandis que WhatsApp rappelle « son opposition de principe à la traçabilité (…) et le caractère limité de sa collaboration avec les forces de l'ordre. »Un expert en informatique interrogé estime lui que « les éléments de preuve contenus dans les déclarations du procureur ne sont d'emblée ‘pas crédibles' » ; le même chercheur, après investigations, « finit par exclure complètement que cette adresse [l'adresse IP incriminée] soit liée à Stanis Bujakera et l'attribue plutôt à un serveur web localisé en Espagne. » Mais le pouvoir assure, deux mois après la mise en détention de Stanis Bujakera, que la "vérité" passe "par sa mise en détention."Musique pour finirNos auditeurs auront peut-être reconnu ces quelques notes… la rumba congolaise de Fally Ipupa à l'honneur sur le site du Monde Afrique ! L'histoire d' « un chanteur de rumba congolaise parmi d'autres », natif d'un quartier du centre de Kinshasa, chanteur dans les églises avant de devenir une « vedette » capable de « remplir les plus grandes salles d'Europe », comme l'a démontré son concert samedi à l'U Arena, en banlieue parisienne.D'où vient ce succès ? Le quotidien a sa petite idée : sa réussite, ce serait « ce balancier permanent entre l'audience des origines et celle des musiques urbaines », cette alternance entre courtes chansons, en français, et titres plus longs, en lingala. Une formule que le chanteur ambitionne d'exporter : après la RDC, la France, le reste de l'Europe, il « rêve de conquérir l'Amérique » raconte Le Monde… pour faire flotter haut les couleurs de son pays.

Annoncées en octobre 2021 par l'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS), les premières livraisons du vaccin antipaludique (RTS, S) ont démarré le 21 novembre. Plus de 330.000 doses du vaccin ont ainsi été livrées au Cameroun après une phase pilote au Ghana, au Kenya et au Malawi. Une étape clé qui prépare le terrain pour une vaccination à grande échelle sur le continent. Pour le docteur Charles Shey Wiysonge, chargé de l'immunisation au bureau régional de l'OMS, cette tournée de vaccinations marque « une étape historique » dans la lutte contre le paludisme. Il est l'invité de Christina Okello. RFI : Quelle est la spécificité du vaccin RTS,S ?Charles Shey Wiysonge : Il s'agit du premier vaccin antipaludique recommandé par l'OMS pour prévenir le paludisme chez les enfants. Le vaccin agit contre le Plasmodium falciparum qui est le parasite du paludisme le plus meurtrier dans le monde et celui qui est le plus présent en Afrique. Les recommandations de l'OMS concernant ce vaccin antipaludique reposent sur les résultats du programme pilote de mise en œuvre du vaccin qui a été conduit dans trois pays, au Ghana, Kenya et Malawi.Le Cameroun n'avait pas participé au programme pilote de vaccination, pourquoi a-t-il été choisi pour recevoir les premières doses ?Le Cameroun, et d'autres pays, vont recevoir la livraison dans les prochaines semaines, ce sont les premiers pays qui ont soumis une demande de soutien à Gavi, l'Alliance du vaccin. Puisque la forte demande a dépassé l'offre disponible, on a limité l'allocation de stocks parce qu'on a environ 18 millions de doses, donc avec 28 pays, c'était difficile. Donc il y en a un quart qui a été développé avant que les pays ne fassent la demande.Quelle est la situation du paludisme au Cameroun, et ailleurs ?Dans les pays comme le Cameroun, le Nigeria, c'est vraiment un grand problème de santé publique. Il y a au moins 10% de la population qui est atteinte du paludisme.Quelle est l'importance de ce vaccin pour la lutte contre le paludisme ? C'est une étape très importante parce que le vaccin est très efficace pour réduire le nombre de cas de paludisme causé par le Plasmodium falciparum chez les jeunes enfants et il réduit les formes graves. Après l'introduction du vaccin dans le programme pilote, on a constaté une baisse très remarquable du nombre d'enfants hospitalisés et une diminution du nombre de décès chez les enfants d'environ 13%. Donc c'est vraiment important.Quelle est l'efficacité du vaccin RTS,S compte tenu de la résistance du paludisme aux médicaments ?Il y a une résistance seulement quand quelqu'un a déjà le paludisme. On a vu qu'après trois doses de ce vaccin, il y a une diminution de 75% des cas de paludisme pendant la première année. C'est vrai que l'efficacité diminue, c'est pour cela qu'on recommande qu'un an après la troisième dose, il faut en donner une quatrième, et aussi un an après ça, il en faut une cinquième. Qui peut prendre le vaccin RTS,S ?On recommande quatre doses aux enfants à partir de l'âge de cinq mois. Par exemple, au Cameroun, le calendrier vaccinal prévoit qu'il y ait quatre doses, à six mois, à sept mois, à neuf mois et à vingt-quatre mois d'âge. C'est seulement pour les enfants.Le mois dernier, l'OMS a donné son feu vert à l'utilisation pour les enfants d'un deuxième vaccin antipaludique, le R21, quelle est la différence avec le vaccin RTS,S ?Il n'y a pas de différence, les deux vaccins agissent de la même manière. Mais pour le premier vaccin, il y a seulement, environ, dix-huit millions de doses qui seront disponibles d'ici 2025. Ce n'est pas suffisant. Au moins vingt-huit pays d'Afrique envisagent d'introduire ces vaccins contre le paludisme dans leur programme de vaccination d'enfants. Mais ce qui est aussi important, c'est que l'autre vaccin, le fabriquant a dit qu'ils vont produire beaucoup plus de doses que dix-huit millions, donc d'ici la fin de l'année prochaine, on n'aura pas de problèmes de stocks limités.Après le Cameroun, quels sont les prochains pays destinataires du vaccin?Après le Cameroun, il y aura le Burkina Faso, le Liberia, il y aura le Niger et la Sierra Leone. D'après les nouvelles qu'on a, le gouvernement du Cameroun prévoit de commencer la campagne de vaccination le 12 décembre. Quand va démarrer la vaccination à grande échelle sur le continent ?Chaque pays a son calendrier. Par exemple, le Cameroun va commencer en décembre. Il y a d'autres pays, comme le Burkina Faso, il y a le Burundi, il y a la RDC, on prévoit qu'il y aura cinq pays entre janvier et juin, parce qu'on pense que l'autre vaccin R21 sera disponible à partir de juin. Donc on pense qu'il y aura un peu plus de pays après juin.Et que signifie pour l'Afrique cette vaccination à grande échelle ?Chaque année, il y a autour de 500 000 enfants qui meurent dans le monde et la plupart, 95%, sont en Afrique. Si on a un vaccin, il va diminuer ce taux de mortalité. On a vu la réduction du taux de mortalité au Ghana, au Kenya, au Malawi, autour de 13%. Vous imaginez, un taux de réduction de 13% de la mortalité ? Et il y a une diminution des cas de paludisme de 75%. Donc c'est un grand atout pour la lutte contre le paludisme, je pense que c'est un moment historique pour l'Afrique et pour la vaccination en général.

SynopsisOn today's date in 1904, the Washington Post's headline read, “Hiawatha Tonight: Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's masterpiece to be sung at Convention Center.”The 29-year-old British composer, on his first visit to America, was to conduct the 200 members of the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society of Washington D.C., accompanied by the Marine Band orchestra.So who was this British composer and what had he done to inspire an American chorus to name itself after him?Coleridge-Taylor was born in 1875 to an African father from Sierra Leone and an English mother. Showing remarkable musical talent, he studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London and rapidly established himself as a major choral composer with a trilogy of oratorios, all based on Longfellow's epic poem Hiawatha, that became wildly popular in England, but the 1904 concert in Washington was the first time all three had been performed on the same concert.The Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society was America's first African-American concert choir. Attending the Washington performance were many members of the federal government and distinguished members of both Black and white society.Music Played in Today's ProgramSamuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912) Hiawatha's Departure; Welsh National Opera Chorus and Orchestra; Kenneth Alwyn, cond.

On the Scale of the World: The Formation of Black Anticolonial Thought (U California Press, 2022) examines the reverberations of anticolonial ideas that spread across the Atlantic between the two world wars. From the 1920s to the 1940s, Black intellectuals in Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean established theories of colonialism and racism as structures that must be understood, and resisted, on a global scale. In this richly textured book, Musab Younis gathers the work of writers and poets, journalists and editors, historians and political theorists whose insights speak urgently to contemporary movements for liberation. Bringing together literary and political texts from Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, France, the United States, and elsewhere, Younis excavates a vibrant and understudied tradition of international political thought. From the British and French colonial occupations of West Africa to the struggles of African Americans, the hypocrisy of French promises of 'assimilation, ' and the many-sided attacks on the sovereignties of Haiti, Liberia, and Ethiopia, On the Scale of the World shows how racialized imperialism provoked critical responses across the interwar Black Atlantic. By transcending the boundaries of any single imperial system, these counternarratives of global order enabled new ways of thinking about race, nation, and empire.

This is the slightly cleaned-up audio of our most recent conversation with Fred Moten. This was recorded on October 25th. Given the evolution of this struggle and the increasingly genocidal character as well as the ongoing resistance, our comments if we were to hold this discussion today on November 11th would undoubtedly be different.  Nonetheless I think a lot of what we cover remains important and we wanted to try to create an audio version of this conversation which held true to the character of the original which we will link in the show notes, but also share it with our broader audience, much of whom prefer the audio format. The audio quality of this version is hopefully also slightly better than the original YouTube version. I would note that we now have fourteen of these livestreams up on our Youtube channel which everyone can check out. All of them are related to this current struggle for Palestinian liberation as well as the struggle against the genocidal settler violence we see unleashed on Gaza with full support material, ideological, military of the US as a settler empire in particular and the institutions and governments so-called Western World writ large.  I want to acknowledge and shout-out everyone who is taking action and trying to deepen and expand their own anticolonial practices in these times until Palestine is free, until we all are free.
