Our summer break continues as we knock out our housekeeping and get things ready for a busy fall. And before we get back to all new episodes we've got another great look back at a favorite with the great actor Jeffrey Wright. He digs into his role on WestWorld, his time in Hollywood and the roles he loves to take on, and he shares the story of Nearest Green and what has become not only an inspiration but is also a very successful enterprise. From Episode 55 - April 16, 2020: From Angels in America to Basquiat to Syriana to Casino Royale to The Hunger Games to Boardwalk Empire to Classical Baby to Westworld. Jeffrey Wright (@JFreeWright) has played Martin Luther King Jr. and Colin Powell. He's played artists and scientists. And he's everyone's favorite Host, Bernard Lowe. He's won a Golden Globe, an Emmy, a Tony. And he's a driven supporter of causes ranging from veterans with mental health injuries to miners in Sierra Leone.  It's a look back at one of the greats. At a time when none of us were at our best, he showed us what it means to be the best. And a look at why he's one of our favorites to ever appear on the show. -WATCH video of Paul and Jeffrey's conversation. -Learn more about Independent Veterans of America and all of the IVA candidates.  -Join the movement.

Les départs clandestins de pirogues depuis les côtes guinéennes vers l'archipel espagnol des Canaries se sont multipliés, en conséquence de l'accord migratoire conclu entre la Mauritanie et l'Espagne l'an dernier. Pourtant, la traversée depuis la Guinée peut durer une dizaine de jours et est extrêmement dangereuse. En 2024, l'ONG espagnole Caminando Fronteras dénombre 10 457 morts dans l'Atlantique. Entretien avec Elhadj Mohamed Diallo, ancien exilé, qui dirige désormais l'Organisation guinéenne de lutte contre la migration irrégulière.  RFI : La Guinée est devenue une alternative pour les candidats à la migration clandestine, notamment depuis la ville côtière de Kamsar. Pourquoi ce phénomène, selon vous, a-t-il pris de l'ampleur dans la ville ? Elhadj Mohamed Diallo : D'abord, la ville de Kamsar est une ville portuaire, où la pêche est beaucoup développée. La plupart des jeunes maîtrisent parfaitement l'océan. Ce sont des pêcheurs qui maîtrisent la conduite des pirogues.  La situation aux îles Canaries est telle que des journalistes espagnols sont venus enquêter jusqu'en Guinée pour identifier les familles des disparus, racontez-nous.  Lorsque des Guinéens sont arrivés dans les îles des Canaries – le troisième convoi au départ de Kamsar -, il y a eu un accident. Sept personnes sont décédées, dont deux enfants. Donc les journalistes se sont intéressés à la question. Ils nous ont contactés et ils sont venus sur le terrain pour identifier trois familles parmi les sept et après, ils sont venus à Conakry. On les a mis en contact avec des familles de disparus, et eux nous ont mis en relation avec des organisations qui travaillent sur les questions d'identification dans les autres pays. Il y a plusieurs familles qui sont identifiées, on est en train de mettre en place le collectif des familles de disparus. Et une fois que vous les identifiez, qu'est-ce que vous faites ? Parfois, un jeune décède dans un autre pays, mais la famille n'est pas identifiée. Donc, ils nous contactent. On accompagne la famille pour qu'elle puisse rapatrier le corps au pays et inhumer le jeune. On les accompagne aussi dans leur deuil et dans les démarches administratives. Lorsqu'un corps est identifié, il y a un tas de dossiers qu'il faut aller retirer à la justice ou à la mairie. Parfois, les familles ne sont pas informées. Nous accompagnons les familles dans toutes ces démarches, s'ils décident de rapatrier le corps ou pour qu'ils aient les documents nécessaires pour engager des procédures auprès des tribunaux. À lire aussiGuinée: une nouvelle route dangereuse pour la migration vers les Canaries au départ de Kamsar Alors concrètement, comment ça se passe ? Ce sont des passeurs qui sont, disons, des « professionnels » et qui ouvrent un nouveau point de passage ? Ou est-ce que ce sont des pêcheurs ou des personnes sur place, à Kamsar, qui se lancent dans le marché de la migration par opportunisme ? Le premier convoi, c'était des pêcheurs. Comme le Sénégal  est un pays frontalier, on se dit que s'il y a des voies de passage depuis le Sénégal, nous aussi Guinéens pouvons tenter. Donc c'est comme ça qu'ils ont commencé. Un groupe d'individus étaient là en train de travailler, ils se sont réunis, ils ont formé leur convoi et ils sont partis. Ca a même échappé aux autorités. Pour le moment, on n'a pas pu avoir des informations sur les passeurs, on est en train de faire des recherches. Mais bon, vous savez, c'est une question très compliquée de former un groupe de réseaux. Ça peut être des compatriotes qui étaient déjà en Mauritanie ou au Sénégal et qui reviennent en Guinée, ou ça peut être aussi des gens issus du réseau marocain qui se ramifie jusqu'en Guinée. Ce sont des réseaux qui sont vraiment professionnels. On doit planifier le terrain, il faut identifier qui doit être impliqué, qui ne doit pas être impliqué aussi. Ça va prendre du temps. Mais quand même, il y a eu pour le moment trois ou quatre convois qui sont partis et le mois dernier, les autorités ont arrêté pas mal de groupes de personnes qui étaient prêtes à partir. Deux convois ont été arrêtés au mois de juillet. Un autre convoi a été arrêté en Mauritanie où il y avait des Guinéens, des Sénégalais et d'autres nationalités. Vous voulez dire qu'en fonction des politiques migratoires des pays pourtant voisins, le point de départ peut changer ? Pas forcément les politiques migratoires en soi. Ça peut être peut-être la façon dont on est en train de réprimer les migrants, ou bien comment on est en train de durcir un peu les politiques migratoires. C'est une chaîne, en fait. Ça a commencé par le Maroc, puis le Maroc a « fermé » sa voie d'accès. Puis la Mauritanie, le Sénégal où ça devient de plus en plus difficile. Finalement, les points de départ s'éloignent de plus en plus. Et certainement demain, quand on va « fermer » la Guinée, peut-être que c'est Sierra Leone, le Liberia ou la Côte d'Ivoire qui seront concernés. En ce qui concerne le réseau des passeurs, ce n'est pas seulement la Guinée qui doit y travailler. Il faut que les pays collaborent, que ça soit une coordination entre les États parce que ces passeurs sont des criminels. Ça, il faut le dire. Quand vous voyez ce qui se passe aujourd'hui en Tunisie, vous comprendrez pourquoi les pays doivent coopérer pour pouvoir travailler sur cette question. Est-ce que vous avez pu dresser un profil des personnes qui prennent la mer ? Ce sont des familles avec des enfants, parce qu'ils sont convaincus qu'avec des enfants, on vous donne des papiers en règle dès votre arrivé. Donc, ils prennent toute la famille pour partir. En majorité, c'est des jeunes de 17 à 35 ans. Mais il y a également des vieux, des femmes, des enfants, des intellectuels, des étudiants, des non-étudiants... C'est les mêmes personnes, des fois, qui avaient envie de partir mais qui n'en avaient pas la possibilité. Avec 15 millions de francs guinéens [1 500 €, NDLR], ils vont migrer depuis Kamsar.  À lire aussiMauritanie: «Notre politique vis-à-vis de la migration irrégulière est restée la même» Alors même que la communication habituelle des autorités et la sensibilisation communautaire martèlent que le risque de partir clandestinement, c'est très dangereux, que la Guinée ou même l'Afrique en général, a besoin de bras pour se construire et que les politiques migratoires, vous l'avez dit, sont de plus en plus dures. Pourquoi, selon vous, les jeunes continuent de tenter « l'aventure », comme on l'appelle en Afrique de l'Ouest ? On est tous d'accord que d'abord, la migration, c'est un fait naturel. Deuxièmement, il y a une communication sur les réseaux sociaux qui dit que l'Allemagne ou la France ont besoin de plus de main-d'œuvre et les jeunes ont besoin de travailler. Mais quand vous prenez le cas spécifique de la Guinée, la majeure partie des jeunes Guinéens ont perdu confiance non seulement en l'intellectuel guinéen, mais aussi en la République de Guinée. Même s'ils avaient des milliards en poche, ils n'auraient pas envie d'investir dans ce pays parce qu'il y a une totale perte de confiance. Même si ces jeunes sont des intellectuels, même si vous leur trouvez un travail, ils vont chercher un moyen de transport pour quitter le pays parce qu'ils n'ont plus confiance en la République. À une époque, on avait des tee-shirts qui disaient La Guinée est mon avenir. Il y a un jeune qui m'a interpellé un jour, en me disant : « Tu penses qu'il y a une possibilité de réussir dans ce pays où un Premier ministre te dit qu'une région n'a pas le courant parce qu'un Chinois est mort ? » [en 2018, l'ex-Premier ministre Kassory Fofana avait justifié l'absence d'électricité à Kankan par le décès prématuré de l'investisseur chinois choisi pour le projet, NDLR] Vous voyez la mentalité ? Au début de ce mois, 49 Sénégalais ont quitté la Mauritanie en pirogue, se sont perdus en mer et ont finalement pu atteindre les îles Canaries en s'accrochant à une barge remorquée par un navire européen. Comment vous expliquez une telle détermination chez les jeunes Africains, avec pourtant un énorme risque de se faire arrêter ou pire, de mourir, tout simplement ? Vous interrogez dix jeunes aujourd'hui sur pourquoi ils sont prêts à prendre ces risques-là. Ils vous diront que dans l'état actuel des choses, ils sont comme déjà morts. Donc pour eux, il vaut mieux aller mourir ailleurs et peut-être réussir, que de rester ici et mourir. C'est comme un jeune avec ses parents, s'il n'a plus confiance, il va quitter la maison. Donc quand on n'a plus confiance en notre nation, on va forcément la quitter. C'est ce qui arrive en l'Afrique de l'Ouest, surtout au Sénégal et en Guinée. Quand dans un pays, même manger devient un luxe, ça devient un problème. Il y a donc la communication sur les réseaux sociaux et aussi cette question politique qui motive de nombreux jeunes à partir. Et on comprend parfois leur motivation, ils veulent tout simplement vivre en paix. À lire aussiLa France peut-elle se passer d'immigration ?

Doc, Keli og auðvitað Sörensinn.

Rutile is a form of Titanium ore with Iron deposits and is used in pottery to create brown, orange and yellow colours in pottery glazes. Rutile is also used to create beautiful speckled effects in glazes.However, there are some issues with the global Rutile mining industry, such as high energy consumption and the displacement of people from land, in order to mine Rutile.If you didn't want to use Rutile in your pottery, there are alternatives to using Rutile in glazes! Plant ashes (particularly ash from fallen leaves), for example, often create rutile-looking pottery glazes. Here are 4 of my favourite eco-conscious Rutile-like pottery glaze recipes. All the recipes in this episode are from the book: eBook Eco-conscious Pottery Colour — Oxford Clay Handmade Ceramics✨Recipe 6 from ‘Eco-Conscious Pottery Colour'40 parts - Cornish Stone40 parts - Indian bean tree leaf ash (from naturally fallen leaves in the Autumn)20 parts - Quartz rock✨Recipe 63 from ‘Eco-Conscious Pottery Colour'40 parts - Cornish Stone40 parts - Rhubarb leaf ash (naturally died back in the Autumn)20 parts - Quartz rock✨Recipe 64 from ‘Eco-Conscious Pottery Colour'40 parts - Cornish Stone40 parts - Rose bush leaf ash (from naturally fallen leaves in the Autumn)20 parts - Quartz rock+1% - Hymod Ball Clay+1% - Red Clay+0.2% - Verdigris✨Recipe 78 from ‘Eco-Conscious Pottery Colour'40 parts - Cornish Stone40 parts - Fig tree leaf ash (from naturally fallen leaves in the Autumn)20 parts - Quartz rock+ 3% - VerdigrisThe journal articles referred to in this episode are:Farjana, S.

Ekow Alabi Savage aka Ekowmania zählt zu den bedeutendsten lebenden Interpreten westafrikanischer Rhythmen am Schlagzeug. Mit über 50 Jahren Erfahrung als Musiker, Sänger, Komponist und Perkussionist aus Ghana, hat er mit Legenden wie Ziggy Marley oder Manu Dibango zusammengearbeitet. Im Genre "Highlife" verschmelzen traditionelle westafrikanische Rhythmen und Melodien mit europäischen Musikstilen, insbesondere mit Jazz. Highlife ist Musikrichtung und Tanzstil, und hat sich seit den 20er Jahren vor allem in Ghana und Sierra Leone ausgebreitet – und von da aus immer weiter. Ekowmania und seine in Berlin gegründete Band The Rhythmers verbinden nun die eher klassischen Elemente des Highlife mit wiederum weiteren modernen Einflüssen aus Soukous, Salsa, Afrobeat und Funk. 2025 ist die Debüt-EP "Ekowmania & The Rhythmers" erschienen und präsentiert in den insgesamt vier Tracks den energiegeladenen Sound, der zum Ziel hat auch hier den traditionellen Highlife-Sound weiterzutragen. Lebhafte Vibes nehmen also das studioeins ein, wenn Ekowmania gemeinsam mit Djatou Toure, Nick Morrison, Trigo Santana und Mauricio Fleury die Bühne betreten.

Plus de 20 ans après la fin de la guerre civile qui a fait 250 000 morts, le Liberia va-t-il enfin juger ses plus grands criminels de guerre ? Le président Joseph Boakai semble décidé à franchir ce pas historique. Il y a un mois, il a présenté les excuses de l'État aux innombrables victimes et un tribunal spécial pourrait voir le jour en 2027. De 1990 à 2003, le reporter-photographe Patrick Robert est allé maintes fois sur place. Il y a été grièvement blessé par balle. Aujourd'hui, il témoigne devant les tribunaux et dans un livre intitulé Chaque heure compte, la dernière tue (paru aux éditions Erick Bonnier). Il est l'invité de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Dans votre livre, vous écrivez « Au Liberia, on tuait avec désinvolture et détachement ». En quoi cette guerre civile a-t-elle été différente des autres ? Patrick Robert : La première grosse différence, c'est que c'était une guerre totale commise avec la bonne conscience de gens qui font quelque chose avec la sensation qu'ils doivent le faire. La caractéristique d'une guerre civile, c'est que c'est une guerre d'amateurs. Ce sont des gens de la brousse qui, du jour au lendemain, se trouvent miliciens, combattants, une arme à la main. Et évidemment, les standards sont évidemment très éloignés des nôtres. Et c'était une guerre de villageois contre des citadins ? Pas que. C'était une guerre civile totale, d'ethnie contre ethnie, en fait. Vous racontez comment un milicien tue froidement un civil sous vos yeux, puis s'aperçoit que vous êtes là avec votre appareil photo et vous dit, tout sourire « Hey take my picture ! » (prends ma photo). Comment expliquez-vous une telle désinvolture ? Parce que ces gens simples avaient l'impression de faire leur travail afin d'accomplir leur mission. C'est tout le tragique de l'histoire. Moi, je ne pense pas qu'il y ait eu des crimes pour le plaisir de tuer… Oui, dans ces conditions-là, il y en a toujours. Mais je ne pense pas que l'ordre des politiciens était de le faire. Je pense que les chefs militaires, que ce soit Charles Taylor ou les autres, n'étaient pas plus émus que ça de la mort de leurs concitoyens. Mais je ne pense pas non plus qu'ils incitaient leurs miliciens à tuer aveuglément tout le monde. Je pense que c'est un pays où les gens étaient livrés à eux-mêmes avec une discipline inexistante. Il faut savoir aussi que Charles Taylor n'avait aucun moyen de communication avec ses troupes. Il avait un téléphone satellitaire que lui avait donné Félix Houphouët-Boigny, mais il n'avait pas de moyen de contacter ses soldats sur le front. Il n'y avait pas de téléphone cellulaire à l'époque et il n'avait pas de radio. Charles Taylor ne savait pas ce qui se passait sur le front. Il n'y allait pas lui-même. Il n'était pas un chef de guerre courageux. Ce n'était pas un bon chef de guerre. Son mouvement politique, le NPFL, a été bon tant qu'il avait Prince Johnson avec lui. Mais en fait, c'est Prince Johnson qui marquait les points sur le terrain. Comme Johnson a fait sécession et est parti dans son coin et a laissé tomber Taylor, Taylor n'a plus jamais avancé sérieusement sur le terrain et donc, parce que la situation a dégénéré, c'est devenu une guerre ethnique. Chaque ethnie avait son groupe armé avec son chef de guerre qui s'opposait aux autres. Alors, vous dites que chaque combattant faisait son travail, mais quand on abat une femme et ses enfants, ce n'est pas un travail comme un autre, non ? Non, je ne dis pas qu'il faisait son travail, je dis qu'il faisait ce qu'il pensait être son travail. Je pense que le milicien pensait que sa mission consistait à tuer des ennemis, quels qu'ils soient, hommes, femmes, enfants. Vous savez, dans une guerre ethnique, on est coupable de faire partie de l'ethnie adverse, quel que soit son âge ou son sexe. Les enfants, tant qu'ils peuvent porter une arme, ils sont en face de vous, donc ils sont des combattants. Les femmes, elles donnent naissance à des futurs combattants qui seront un jour en face de vos enfants. Et donc tout le monde est une cible légitime de ce point de vue de la guerre ethnique. C'est ça qui est effroyable. Comment se fait-il que, depuis 2003, il n'y ait jamais eu de procès de criminels de guerre au Liberia ? Je pense que les Libériens ont admis leur responsabilité collective. Ils ont admis que tout le monde avait perdu la tête. Et donc il n'y a pas un groupe ethnique qui a échappé au massacre commis par les leurs contre un autre groupe ethnique. Donc, il y a une sorte de nivellement par l'horreur, par le crime, qui fait que tout le monde s'est rendu coupable de choses répréhensibles devant la loi. Je pense qu'ils ont été tellement nombreux, dans tous les camps, à commettre des crimes que peut-être qu'ils n'ont pas très envie de remettre tout ça en cause et de se dire qu'il va falloir mettre les deux tiers du pays en prison. Mais je pense qu'aujourd'hui, les Libériens ont beaucoup évolué. Il y a un système démocratique qui s'est mis en place. Et en effet, je pense qu'ils ne doivent pas être très fiers de ce qu'ont fait leurs prédécesseurs pendant cette guerre civile. Et si en 2027, donc dans deux ans, un tribunal sur les crimes de la guerre civile s'ouvre à Monrovia, est-ce que vous serez prêt à venir témoigner ? Si on me le demande, oui, comme témoin de contexte pour expliquer mon expérience, c'est peut-être même un devoir puisque je l'ai vécue. Et quand vous avez témoigné au procès de Kunti Camara, c'était donc l'an dernier à Paris, est-ce que vous avez croisé son regard ? Il était très fuyant, il avait l'air totalement absent. Mais des criminels comme lui, il y en a des milliers au Liberia. La banalité de la mort ? Oui, la banalité de la mort. C'est une chose qui m'a beaucoup surpris au Liberia, comme en Sierra Leone d'ailleurs, parce qu'à cette époque-là, la mort était quelque chose de quotidien. On tuait les gens facilement sans que ça pose de problèmes éthiques, moraux. Cette banalité face à la mort, c'est peut-être un instinct de survie aussi, sinon personne ne s'en sortirait.

Send us a textRachael Cummings of Save the Children is Inside Geneva's summer profile this week.  “When I went into nursing, I also wanted to travel, so nursing gave me that opportunity. That was sort of an 18-year-old thinking, ‘Okay, I can use this to travel with',” says Cummings.Since taking her nursing skills to humanitarian work, she's been all over the world.“I think one of the things I'm most proud of is Save the Children's role in the Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone in 2014 and 2015. We were able to establish – literally build, together with our Sierra Leonean colleagues – an 80-bed Ebola hospital and everything that went with it.”Now, she's in Gaza, grappling with desperate shortages of aid.“Nothing came in for months, and since mid-May the UN has only managed to bring in a trickle of humanitarian supplies. But in this context, people are being starved and are on the brink of famine. They're absolutely desperate – some are jumping onto the trucks and pulling off the aid supplies. And I know I'd do the same,” she says.Wherever she is, Cummings's priority is always the children.“We're driven by humanity and the desire to alleviate the suffering of children, wherever they may be. It's about giving them hope, because they're living through the worst experiences imaginable, the most desperate of times, and of course, they're entirely innocent. They're children who have the right to a childhood.”Join host Imogen Foulkes on Inside Geneva.Get in touch!

Send us a textWhat happens when a struggling father refuses to let disability define his family's future? Hannah Smith's remarkable story reveals the transformative journey from family separation to triumphant reunion in post-war Sierra Leone.Hannah's story begins in hardship—her disabled father, a determined blacksmith, made the heartbreaking decision to place his children in an orphanage when he couldn't provide basic necessities. Though initially grateful for education and proper care at the Child Rescue Center, Hannah and her siblings soon felt a profound emptiness without their father's presence. "Every day spent without him, it was like, 'When are we going to see our dad again?'" Hannah shares, revealing how even well-intentioned institutional care cannot replace family bonds.The turning point came through empowerment, not charity. The CRC's microfinance program equipped Hannah's father with business training and initial capital that allowed him to expand his blacksmith work creating farming tools and even open a small cinema for community football viewings. Crawling on the ground to perform his craft during difficult rainy seasons when orders decreased, this remarkable man refused to surrender to circumstances. He transformed from a parent who couldn't provide into a successful entrepreneur who trained others and rebuilt his family's future.Today, Hannah pursues higher education inspired by her father's extraordinary example. "He's our strong pillar... despite his condition, he's always keeping a deep smile to tell people that yes, even though he's disabled, all is not lost." Her powerful message reminds us that determination coupled with the right support can overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

®La preparazione artigianale del sapone è una tradizione di lunga data in Sierra Leone. Ad inizio anni Novanta viene abbandonata la vecchia ricetta che prevedeva l'utilizzo di ingredienti naturali in favore dell'utilizzo della soda caustica. Nasce in quel momento l'Africana Soap che allo stato liquido si presenta trasparente come l'acqua e in quello solido, sotto forma di polvere bianca, esattamente uguale a zucchero e sale. La possibilità di essere confuso è un rischio concreto che progressivamente diviene una vera e propria piaga sociale. Ad oggi, sono migliaia le persone che ingerendo l'Africana Soap, non possono più alimentarsi normalmente per il resto della vita. Soprattutto i piccoli pazienti in età neonatale e infantile, che vengono chiamati “bambini soda”. Per continuare a mangiare, nel migliore dei casi sono costretti a continue dilatazioni dell'esofago per via endoscopica, nel peggiore e più frequente, possono alimentarsi unicamente con un tubo da gastrostomia che si immette direttamente nello stomaco. L'unico luogo dell'intero paese dove è possibile intervenire è l'ospedale di Emergency di Goderich, centro nazionale di riferimento sia per le ustioni all'esofago causate dall'ingestione di soda caustica che per la traumatologia. Le storie dell'Africana Soap dalla realizzazione alla vendita, dalla cura all'assistenza, dallo stigma della disabilità fino ad una geniale resilienza, sono raccontate da donne e uomini sia fuori che dentro il nosocomio presente in Sierra Leone dal 2001.Prima emissione: 23 aprile 2025

Send us a textThe systematic abduction and militarization of Ukrainian children by Russian forces represents one of the most devastating yet underreported aspects of the ongoing war. In this eye-opening conversation, Ukrainian historian and religious scholar Vladislav Haverlov reveals the shocking scope and calculated nature of Russia's deportation campaign targeting Ukrainian youth.His research with the Institute of World History at Ukraine's National Academy of Sciences and his work documenting war crimes with multiple humanitarian organizations exposes the brutal reality behind Russia's euphemistically labeled "evacuations." Since February 2022, Russian authorities have forcibly transferred thousands of Ukrainian children from occupied territories to Russia, with official counts identifying 19,546 deported children. Most alarmingly, only 1,366 have been successfully returned after three years of war.Children are taken by bus or train, processed through filtration camps & dispersed across a network of "temporary accommodation centers" throughout Russia. Many are deliberately sent to remote regions like Siberia. In these facilities, Ukrainian children undergo systematic indoctrination, losing their documents, language, and cultural identity. They are funneled into paramilitary organizations like "Young Army" where children as young as eight receive military training. Read more________Travel on International Mission, meet local leadership and work alongside them.

Réuni depuis le 7 juillet à Paris, le comité du patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco a décidé en fin de semaine d'inscrire 26 nouveaux sites sur la liste du patrimoine mondial. Cinq sont africains. Avec pour la première fois, l'inscription d'un lieu bissau-guinéen : l'archipel des Bijagos. Ce site avait déposé sa première candidature en 2012. Pourquoi a-t-il été choisi maintenant ? Les explications de Lazare Eloundou, le directeur du patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco.  RFI : Cinq sites africains ont été inscrits sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco. Il y a le paysage culturel du Mont Mulanje au Malawi, les sites archéologiques Diy Gid Biy des monts Mandara au Cameroun, le parc national de Maputo à la frontière entre le Mozambique et l'Afrique du Sud et il y a également ces deux sites bissau-guinéens et sierra-léonais. Est-ce que vous pourriez, rapidement, nous les présenter ? Lazare Eloundou: Oui, tout à fait. Celui de la Sierra Leone est un complexe d'une île de Tiwai et d'une forêt pluviale de Gola. Et la Sierra Leone célèbre son tout premier site sur la liste du patrimoine mondial. Ensuite, il y a le site de la Guinée-Bissau qui est un important écosystème marin de l'archipel des Bijagos, un hotspot tellement important de la biodiversité marine qu'il a aussi rejoint la liste du patrimoine mondial. On doit notamment l'inscription de l'île de Tiwai en Sierra Leone au combat acharné d'un activiste. Est-ce que vous pourriez nous en dire un petit peu plus ? Tommy Garnett est plus qu'un activiste. Il est vraiment un défenseur du patrimoine. Ce combat a commencé il y a plusieurs années après la guerre où il s'est engagé à tout faire pour sauver l'île de Tiwai qui avait été détruite par la guerre. Un travail important s'est fait avec les communautés et plus tard aussi avec le soutien des autorités de Sierra Leone.  Pour l'archipel des Bijagos en Guinée-Bissau, ça aura été une longue attente. Le pays avait déposé sa première candidature en 2012... Le travail pour préparer une candidature pour la liste du patrimoine mondial est un travail très sérieux où il faut des données très concrètes. Il se trouve que la Guinée-Bissau a pris un peu de temps déjà parce qu'il lui fallait de l'expertise. Et c'était ça, effectivement, l'une des choses importantes qu'Audrey Azoulay, la directrice générale de l'Unesco, a voulu en faisant de l'Afrique sa priorité depuis 2018. C'est l'expertise : renforcer l'expertise des professionnels africains. C'est ce qui s'est fait en formant des experts de la Guinée-Bissau qui ont pu contribuer à la préparation de ce dossier. Et qui ont pu démontrer que ce lieu important, cet archipel deltaïque actif, le seul de la côte Atlantique africaine, est aussi un lieu important, une halte migratoire la plus importante de l'Afrique de l'Ouest et un lieu de nidification majeur des tortues marines. Ils ont pu le démontrer dans ce dossier. Que vont changer concrètement ces inscriptions pour ces différents sites ? Elles vont changer beaucoup de choses pour les communautés locales. Elles vont certainement contribuer à l'amélioration de leurs conditions de vie, ce qui est important. Mais elles vont aussi permettre à l'Unesco de continuer à former des experts, à fournir de l'assistance internationale, à encourager le tourisme local, mais aussi culturel autour de ces sites. Cela va également contribuer au développement socio-économique de tous ces pays et promouvoir la riche histoire culturelle de tous ces pays. À côté de ces nominations, trois sites africains ont été retirés du patrimoine en péril. C'est le cas notamment de l'ancienne ville de Ghadamès en Libye et des forêts humides de l'Atsinanana à Madagascar. Qu'est-ce qui vous a poussé à faire ces choix ? Il y a un grand travail qui s'est fait. C'est le cas des forêts de l'Atsinanana à Madagascar. Pendant près de quinze ans, l'Unesco et tous les experts ont travaillé pour accompagner les autorités malgaches. Il y a eu des investissements énormes pour lutter contre la déforestation qui avait été observée. Beaucoup d'autres activités qui ont été menées ont fait que l'on peut dire que sur les six composantes qui constituent ces forêts, quatre d'entre elles sont aujourd'hui suffisamment préservées. Les deux autres sont aussi en train de le faire. C'est très encourageant et le Comité du patrimoine mondial a pris tout cela en compte et a considéré que les efforts du gouvernement malgache méritaient que ces sites soient retirés de la liste en péril. Et en plus, nous avons un plan d'action pour les années à venir afin de renforcer ce travail qui a déjà commencé et rendre durable cette décision du patrimoine mondial.

In a world where 17% of all electricity is generated from wind and solar and where 93% of all new capacity added to the grid is from renewables, it can be easy to forget that countries got their first wind and solar resources within just the last few years. And in fact, some countries are still waiting for their first. Today on Cleaning Up, we're joined by Daniel Calderon, Founder and Managing Partner of Alcazar Energy Partners. Daniel has made it a specialty of going into countries overlooked by others, building their first wind and solar farms, and as he explains, doing it profitably. Leadership Circle: Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP of Portugal, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

Sierra Leone is a beautiful country on the coast of West Africa, known for its white-sand beaches and vibrant culture.

Tuberculosis is entirely curable and yet also the deadliest infectious disease in the world. That paradox has fascinated John Green, the popular YouTuber and author of The Fault in Our Stars, ever since he met a boy called Henry at a TB hospital in Sierra Leone. Green's new book, Everything is Tuberculosis, tells Henry's story and asks why this disease still kills more people every year than homicide, war, and malaria combined.

On this episode of The Evangelism Podcast, I connect with my  old friend Apostle Orenta J.S. Macauley, (I call him Solomon) from Sierra Leone. We talk about what God is doing in West Africa. Prepare to be inspired as was talk about how to catch, keep, and spread the fire of revival. 

The synthetic drug kush, first seen in Sierra Leone in 2022, has now spread into much of West Africa while also evolving into an even more dangerous drug. Tests have found it contains nitazenes which are 25 times stronger than fentanyl.  Sky News has found that ingredients used to make kush are being shipped into Sierra Leone from the UK.  In today's Sky News Daily, Gareth Barlow is joined by our Africa correspondent, Yousra Elbagir who has spoken to addicts and those trying to tackle the problem.  Producer: Emily Hulme  Editor: Wendy Parker  

In 1849, when the Gold Rush hit California, the people who were certain to make money were not the miners, but the sellers of picks and shovels. Indeed, America's first millionaire, Samuel Brannan, made his fortune by adding huge margins to everyday items that suddenly become high in demand. Today's sellers of picks and shovels are those providing the hardware and infrastructure to the software and platform providers, and one company stands apart as the beneficiary of the recent boom times in artificial intelligence: Nvidia. They're currently among the top three listed companies in the US, alongside Apple and Microsoft, and are incredibly profitable, with estimated margins in excess of 40%. They've been around for 30 years, and are much more than simply chip fabricators. This week on Cleaning Up, Bryony Worthington sits down with Josh Parker, Nvidia's head of sustainability, to explore some of the challenges and opportunities he sees in the AI and Climate space.Leadership Circle: Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP of Portugal, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

In this episode of Sacred Alchemy, I had the immense pleasure of welcoming my dear friend, Princess Sarah Culberson, to the show. Our conversation was a heartfelt exploration of her extraordinary life journey, which began as an adopted child in West Virginia and led her to discover her royal heritage in Sierra Leone. Sarah's journey is a testament to the power of forgiveness, understanding, and the importance of listening to the voices of those we aim to help. She beautifully articulated how her experiences have shaped her mission to empower others and bridge cultural divides.

Dans le supplément de ce samedi, en première partie, cap sur l'Afrique pour parler de cette drogue qui a fait et fait toujours des ravages, le kush. Pas de grands classiques de la drogue comme l'héroïne ou la cocaïne, mais un de ces mélanges détonants issus d'une cuisine improbable et aléatoire faite d'éléments chimiques avec l'utilisation de feuilles de guimauve, cannabinoïdes de synthèse et nitazènes, des opioïdes jusqu'à 20 fois plus forts que le fentanyl. Plus d'un pays est concerné en Afrique de l'Ouest, Liza Fabbian s'est rendue en Sierra Leone, épicentre du fléau... En deuxième partie, nous serons en ligne avec Sarah Cozzolino pour parler Brésil où les femmes déjouent par l'artisanat la pauvreté de leur région du nord de l'État du Minas Gérais. La Sierra Leone sous l'emprise du Kush Un nouveau Grand Reportage dans le cadre de notre semaine Drogue sur RFI... C'est un cocktail toxique, hautement addictif et parfois mortel : il s'agit du kush, une drogue de synthèse surpuissante qui fait actuellement des ravages en Afrique de l'Ouest. Un récent rapport de l'Initiative Globale contre le Crime Organisé a permis de dévoiler la composition du kush. Il contient soit des cannabinoïdes de synthèse – soit des nitazènes : des opioïdes jusqu'à vingt-cinq fois plus fort que le Fentanyl ! Liza Fabbian s'est rendue en Sierra Leone, épicentre de ce fléau qui contamine toute la société - et contre lequel le président est allé jusqu'à déclarer l'état d'urgence sanitaire. Un Grand reportage de Liza Fabbian qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. Brésil: l'artisanat, planche de salut, pour les femmes de la vallée du Jequitinhonha Elle est surnommée la Vallée de la misère. Au Brésil, dans le nord de l'État du Minas Gérais, la vallée du Jequitinhonha s'étend sur 50 000 km2, le long du fleuve du même nom. Elle est connue pour son climat aride et ses populations rurales, la pauvreté pousse une partie des habitants à émigrer. Mais c'est sans compter l'incroyable richesse de l'artisanat de la région, réalisé par ses femmes. Un Grand reportage de Sarah Cozzolino qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

In Episode 74 of the Charter Cities Podcast, host Mark Lutter speaks with Siaka Stevens, co-founder of Sherbro Alliance Partners and the visionary behind Sherbro Island City in Sierra Leone. With the recent ratification of their agreement with the government, Sherbro Island now has special administrative status and strong legal protections—opening the door to serious investor interest. Siaka discusses next steps, including a phased development approach beginning in Bonthe Town, exploring sectors like tourism, carbon credits, aquaculture, and e-governance.

Oil and gas companies lie at the heart of the energy transition. To some, they are heroes, continuing to power human progress despite all the odds. To some, they are villains, responsible for the climate change that is devastating our planet. This week on Cleaning Up, Michael Liebreich interviews Ben van Beurden, former CEO of Shell from 2014 to 2023. The conversation explores the complexities of the energy transition, climate change, and the role of oil and gas companies in addressing global emissions.Van Beurden argues that there's no silver bullet solution to climate change, emphasizing the need for multiple approaches and a holistic view of energy transformation. He believes oil and gas companies will play a crucial role in developing clean energy solutions and driving systemic change, but ultimately we must move away from polluting fossil fuels in pursuit  of the prize of Clean Energy.Leadership Circle: Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP of Portugal, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, SDCL and Wärtsilä.
