For nearly forty years, Fergal Keane has reported for the BBC from some of the world's most brutal conflicts – in Gaza, Iraq, Rwanda, Sudan, Ukraine and beyond – and in that time interviewed scores of children who are the innocent victims of adult wars.As he came to understand the impacts of trauma on young minds, Keane began too to experience his own mental breakdowns – the result of a troubled childhood and a career spent running towards danger – and was eventually diagnosed with PTSD.In today's episode, he reflects on what he has learned from his own experiences and reporting about how childhood traumas can be treated, and the hope for those living through today's wars.The Global Story brings clarity to politics, business and foreign policy in a time of connection and disruption.

True Faith: Trusting in God's Plan 'But If Not'. ACU Sunday Series. The Most Inspiring General Conference Talk on Faith You'll Ever Hear! True Faith: Trusting in God's Plan 'But If Not' In this inspirational video, Elder Dennis E. Simmons reflects on his youthful misunderstanding of faith through a story from his eighth-grade basketball tournament. He emphasizes that true faith is more than wishful thinking—it's a deep trust in Jesus Christ. Using the biblical story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Elder Simmons illustrates how true faith means trusting God even when outcomes don't align with our desires. He explores how figures such as Abraham, Daniel, and Paul displayed unwavering faith under trials, demonstrating that great challenges can cultivate greater spiritual strength. The address underlines that the world is a test of faith, administered by a loving Heavenly Father, and highlights the importance of maintaining faith in God's plan, even amidst suffering and uncertainty.

We examine the continent's reaction after Senegal's 1‑0 AFCON final win from 18 January was overturned, with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) instead awarding Morocco a 3‑0 victory. CAF's disciplinary committee ruled that Senegal's walk-off protest amounted to a forfeit following Morocco's challenge to the initial decision. Senegal has now appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.And Sudan's civil war is now approaching its third year. The conflict began as a power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, and both sides have relied heavily on external support from Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Iran. As Iran escalates attacks on Gulf countries in retaliation for US-Isreal strikes, questions are growing about these countries continued support for the warring parties in Sudan.Presenter : Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Keikantse Shumba Technical Producer: Mbarak Abdallah Senior Producers: Bella Twine and Blessing Aderogba Editors: Samuel Murunga and Maryam Abdalla

In this episode of Journey of Hope, host Elio Constantine continues the mini-series with a meaningful conversation titled “Why Be Missional?” Joined by Bishop Dr. Yasser Eric, the discussion explores how every follower of Christ is called to live missionally bringing discipleship, love, and transformation into their communities wherever God places them.Bishop Dr. Yasser Eric draws from his own journey—from growing up as a radical Sunni Muslim in Sudan to becoming a follower of Christ—to emphasize that mission and discipleship begin with a heart for Jesus. He highlights that being missional is not about attending church on Sundays or completing programs; it's about living out Christ's love daily in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools.Throughout the episode, he shares practical insights on discipleship, illustrating that transformation happens relationally, day by day. Using examples from Scripture and real life, Dr. Eric explains how Christ modeled discipleship through daily engagement with His followers and how ordinary believers can serve as missionaries simply by living faithfully.He also discusses Heart for Lebanon's Mission Leadership Program, which equips men and women—including Muslim-background believers—to disciple others within their own communities. The program emphasizes context, relationships, and practical application of Scripture, showing that small, intentional groups can create long-lasting spiritual growth.This episode is a powerful reminder that discipleship and mission begin with being available to God, showing love, and living intentionally. Transformation happens over time, through patience, relationship, and faithfulness, as God works in the hearts of those we encounter.Show Notes:Being MissionalGod is a missionary God, always reaching out to people (Genesis–Revelation)Mission is not limited to pastors or church leaders; every Christian is calledLiving missionally starts in your daily context—home, work, school, and neighborhoodDiscipleship in PracticeTrue discipleship happens relationally, day by day, through example and engagementElevate others toward Christ by showing love, guidance, and patienceDiscipleship does not require perfect knowledge, only a heart for JesusHeart for Lebanon Mission Leadership Program: Equips students from diverse backgrounds to make disciples in their communitiesEmphasizes starting from context, not imposing contentBuilds organic, relational growth through small groups and home-based gatheringsKey TakeawaysBeing missional is about living Christ's love wherever you areDiscipleship is a lifelong journey, available to all believersTransformation begins with intentional relationship and patienceGod works in people's lives even before we arrive; our role is to join Him

He's also the author of King of Kings, a riveting account of the 1979 Iranian Revolution. He helps us unpack the long, complicated history between the US and Iran — countries that were once close allies — and looks ahead at what may come next.

In this month's 7MS Presents: Stories of Hope, Aaron Calafato tells the true story of a six year old boy taken during a church gathering in a small village in southern Sudan. Torn from his mother and thrown into the chaos of civil war, the boy would eventually escape and spend years growing up in a refugee camp far from home. But through everything, he kept running. Years later, that same boy would walk into the Olympic Stadium carrying the flag of the United States. Sometimes hope is something we find. Sometimes it is something we run toward. *Read the story form the man himself: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/running-for-my-life-lopez-lomong/1110791822

Nobody talks about Sudan. Focusing on truth will always lead to good things. Increasing the people's knowledge is the key. Lots of taxpayer money goes to stabilize the world. The way this money is used is always suspect. How important is Sudan? Both the ICC and the UN make moves to control it's shores. And Russia needed a port, so they're involved in a big way. Sudan had many assets like gold, water, oil and farmland. Did we mention Niobium? Why do the people have nothing? Average age is 19. Who decided Africa would stay hungry? How do you make foreign aid work. Cindy McCain is finally out. Sieges, war and starving masses. The international community ignores it all. The British structure was designed to extract resources. Export corridors are called development. Keeping them hungry enough to manage. 85 billion in food imports annually. 60% of our planet's farm ready land is in Africa. It's a dirty guns for gold operation. The UAE is evil. Some of this was on Hunter's laptop. Beijing holds a lien on Sudan's production capacity. Do we have the will to change? A double win is within reach. It seems impossible to believe, but our country's future is closely tied to Africa.

In this episode of The Horn, Alan is joined by H. A. Hellyer, Senior Associate Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute and Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress, to explore what's behind the rift between Saudi Arabia and the UAE and the competing visions of regional order driving it. They examine where tensions have emerged most sharply, including in Yemen and Sudan, and what these flashpoints reveal about each country's red lines and regional strategy. They look at how, despite the dispute, Abu Dhabi and Riyadh are coordinating their response to Iran's attacks on Gulf states following U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran. They also discuss what Saudi-UAE détente might look like, whether Riyadh and Abu Dhabi can manage their disagreements, including over Sudan, if they are unable to fully resolve them and how countries in the Horn of Africa can avoid being drawn into the rivalry.

One thought can quietly set the tone for your entire day. In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sayan, we explore how thinking patterns become reactions, reactions become habits, and habits become a life. This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed by change, stuck in negative spirals, or wanting to respond more calmly and wisely. Khalda Hashash shares her lived journey of adapting across cultures, learning to lead with emotional intelligence, and building a practical way to shift from automatic reactions to intentional responses. About the Guest: Khalda Hashash is originally from Sudan and now lives in the United States. She is an entrepreneur and leadership consultant, and she earned a master's degree in leadership and communication. She is also a mother of three. Episode Chapter: 00:03:33 – Why this conversation is audio-only and what we're exploring today 00:06:33 – Thoughts → reactions → habits: how a life gets built quietly 00:08:08 – Moving from Sudan to the U.S.: culture shock, language, and overwhelm 00:11:19 – Misconception: “This is just how I am” (and why thinking comes first) 00:14:32 – When your whole world changes in a moment: fear, loss, and uncertainty 00:17:08 – Choosing growth: leadership education and raising kids between cultures 00:19:14 – A practical starting point: self-observation, emotional intelligence, and managing reactions Key Takeaways: Notice the first thought before you address the situation—your reaction starts there. Practice “logic first”: pause and ask, What do I actually know to be true right now? Track your triggers for 1–2 weeks: what consistently irritates you, and what consistently calms you. Shift blame to curiosity: Why am I interpreting this as personal? Build emotional intelligence by managing three things: actions, reactions, and response timing. Remember: positive thinking isn't forced optimism—it's reducing unnecessary negativity. How to Connect With the Guest: https://kashconsulting.us/    Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Today we're bringing you a bonus from Crisis Group's Global Podcast Hold Your Fire!.In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard speaks with Crisis Group Africa director Murithi Mutiga about rising Ethiopia–Eritrea tensions and the growing risk of another war in the Horn of Africa. They discuss how political divisions in Tigray and Ethiopia's push for Red Sea access are sharpening fault lines between Addis Ababa and Asmara. They examine how Gulf and Middle Eastern rivalries could shape any Ethiopia–Eritrea confrontation and increase the risk of wider regional conflagration, including the danger of spillover from Sudan's war. They also explore how global political shifts are playing out in Africa, reactions to U.S. President Donald Trump's “Board of Peace” and the prospects for coalitions of mid-sized Western and non-Western powers to act collectively. For more, check out our briefing, “Ethiopia, Eritrea and Tigray: A Powder Keg in the Horn of Africa”, and our Ethiopia-Eritrea page. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

National Geographic photographer and filmmaker Ami Vitale joins Jennifer and Kati to explore how visual storytelling can transform conservation narratives, from documenting the last northern white rhinos to centering indigenous voices in climate solutions.  After a decade covering global conflicts, Ami discovered environmental breakdown was at the heart of human suffering, leading her to reimagine how we tell nature's stories. Through her nonprofit Vital Impacts, which has raised more than $5 million for conservation, she demonstrates why hope isn't soft but strategic, and why the real question isn't whether local voices are included, but “who's holding the microphone and who's benefiting?'  Learn how Kenya's community-led conservation turned around rhino extinction, why we need to get comfortable with discomfort, and how finding joy in tragedy becomes an act of resistance against apathy.

As one of the world's most respected journalists, CNN's chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour has witnessed some of the most consequential events of our time. In the Middle East, she has reported from the frontlines in the 1991 Gulf War, the 2003 American-led invasion of Iraq and exclusively from the Baghdad courtroom at the trial of Saddam Hussein, where the former dictator was eventually sentenced to death for crimes against humanity. Her fearless reporting from conflict zones has taken her to places including the Balkans, Syria, Sudan, Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, Venezuela and beyond. Throughout her career she has sought to challenge world leaders, expose war crimes and help viewers understand the consequences of war and peace. In February 2026 she came to the Intelligence Squared stage to help us make sense of the World in 2026. Alongside journalist and broadcaster Ritula Shah, Amanpour addressed some of the key questions of our time. Will Donald Trump name a successor or try to seek a third term as U.S. President? Could wars in Ukraine, the Middle East and Sudan escalate beyond their borders and cause global unrest? And what should journalism look like in a world of increasingly sophisticated AI and unregulated social media? --- This is the first instalment of a two-part episode.

“Africa is flowing with resources from oil, diamonds, critical minerals. But at times we find that in our cities, at the bus stations, there's no toilets with running water in a continent which is rich with possibilities. So it's how that intentionality, that political will, to put resources to what matters most.”Daniel Dadzie speaks to Dr Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda, UN Assistant Secretary-General and UN deputy director for women, about the need for Africa to focus on the priorities of its people, such as water and sanitation.The interview took place at the African Union summit in Addis Abbaba, Ethiopia, where the theme was: “Ensuring sustainable water availability and safe sanitation systems.” It's part of Agenda 2063 - the organisation's 50-year strategic framework. But Gumbonzvanda says these things can't wait fifty years, and that they need to be a priority for African leaders now.In her role as deputy lead for UN Women, she is also increasingly concerned by the stories she's been hearing from the women of Sudan, where the civil war continues to rage. She says that regional bodies and the UN are not doing enough to protect the war-torn country's women and children.The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.   ACU Endorsed Charities -------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Born!

Iran's president says Tehran isn't pursuing nuclear weapons and has no intention of doing so, as a third round of crucial talks with the US continues in Geneva. Also: former US secretary of state and first lady, Hillary Clinton, appears before a Congressional committee investigating the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un says his country "could get along well" with the United States, if Washington recognises Pyongyang as a nuclear power. US condemns the use of drones by both sides in the conflict in Sudan. And a new study reveals why some older people's minds are as sharp as they were when they were young.

In this Conflicted Conversation, Thomas speaks to former BBC journalist Martin Plaut about his new book Unbroken Chains: A 5,000-Year History of African Enslavement, which tells the whole story of African slavery, a story far older and more global than the one that focuses only on the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Martin explains: How Africa's slavery story begins in the Nile Valley around 2900 BC Why the trans-Saharan slave routes remain less examined than Atlantic slavery What Islam did — and didn't — change about slavery in practice Indian Ocean slavery Oman's slave market in Zanzibar and its caravans that penetrated deep into central Africa Indigenous African slavery in Ethiopia and the Sokoto Caliphate The role of racial hierarchies and ‘slave blood' stigma within societies Barbary corsairs and European so-called ‘white slavery' Contemporary chattel slavery in Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Sudan, and Libya Why major institutions still prefer commemorating slavery in the past to confronting it in the present Follow Martin on X: https://x.com/martinplaut And his personal website: https://martinplaut.com/ Join the Conflicted Community here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm Find Conflicted on X: https://x.com/MHconflicted And Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod And YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sdlF1mY5t4 Learn more about your ad choices.

Last October, the war in Sudan took a new turn with the capture of El Fasher by the Rapid Support Forces. The city in western Sudan had been under siege by the RSF for more than two years before the Sudanese armed forces suddenly withdrew. After taking control of El Fasher, the RSF began to carry out a massacre of civilians. A UN fact-finding mission recently found that the crimes in El Fasher bore “hallmarks of genocide.” The Sudanese catastrophe is all the more depressing because it comes after a brief moment of greater political openness and optimism after the ousting of a dictator in 2019. Joshua Craze joins Long Reads to discuss the evolution of the conflict in Sudan and its likely future. Joshua has written many articles about the politics of Sudan and South Sudan for publications such as the New Statesman, the New York Review of Books, and Jacobin.
