In this week's episode of 'God on the Move', Nouh Ag Infa Yattara shares his incredible journey from a nomadic Tuareg upbringing in Mali to becoming a Christian pastor. Nouh recounts his early years, the allure of a simple ballpen that led him to explore Christianity, and the persecution he faced from his family and community after his conversion. As pastor of the Evangelical Baptist Church of Timbuktu and General Delegate for the Evangelical Protestants in Mali, he highlights a ‘Macedonian Call' for help, revealing the critical challenges faced by Christians in Mali due to lack of financial and missionary support. This episode emphasizes the power of faith, the importance of prayer, and the ongoing need for support in the spread of the Gospel in one of the toughest regions for Christianity.   Links from the interview Voice of the Martyrs She is Safe Compassion   Nouh Ag Infa Yattara Nouh Ag Infa Yattara, born December 1, 1953, is a Malian pastor and evangelist serving as the Pastor of the Evangelical Baptist Church in Timbuktu and General Delegate for Evangelical Protestants in Mali. Born into a nomadic Islamic family, he converted to Christianity in 1967 and has since dedicated his life to ministry, despite significant persecution. Yattara has played a key role in growing the Christian community in Timbuktu and translating the Bible into Tamasheq. He partners with organizations like Voice of the Martyrs to distribute Christian literature and leads evangelistic efforts through direct outreach, social projects, and the Jesus Film. His work focuses on spreading the Gospel among the least-reached groups in Mali.   If you would like to help us improve our podcast, please send us your feedback.

Full Text of ReadingsFirst Sunday of Advent Lectionary: 3The Saint of the day is Saint Charles de FoucauldSaint Charles de Foucauld's Story Born into an aristocratic family in Strasbourg, France, Charles was orphaned at the age of 6, raised by his devout grandfather, rejected the Catholic faith as a teenager, and joined the French army. Inheriting a great deal of money from his grandfather, Charles went to Algeria with his regiment, but not without his mistress, Mimi. When he declined to give her up, he was dismissed from the army. Still in Algeria when he left Mimi, Charles reenlisted in the army. Refused permission to make a scientific exploration of nearby Morocco, he resigned from the service. With the help of a Jewish rabbi, Charles disguised himself as a Jew and in 1883, began a one-year exploration that he recorded in a book that was well received. Inspired by the Jews and Muslims whom he met, Charles resumed the practice of his Catholic faith when he returned to France in 1886. He joined a Trappist monastery in Ardeche, France, and later transferred to one in Akbes, Syria. Leaving the monastery in 1897, Charles worked as gardener and sacristan for the Poor Clare nuns in Nazareth and later in Jerusalem. In 1901, he returned to France and was ordained a priest. Later that year Charles journeyed to Beni-Abbes, Morocco, intending to found a monastic religious community in North Africa that offered hospitality to Christians, Muslims, Jews, or people with no religion. He lived a peaceful, hidden life but attracted no companions. A former army comrade invited him to live among the Tuareg people in Algeria. Charles learned their language enough to write a Tuareg-French and French-Tuareg dictionary, and to translate the Gospels into Tuareg. In 1905, he came to Tamanrasset, where he lived the rest of his life. A two-volume collection of Charles' Tuareg poetry was published after his death. In early 1909, he visited France and established an association of laypeople who pledged to live by the Gospels. His return to Tamanrasset was welcomed by the Tuareg. In 1915, Charles wrote to Louis Massignon: “The love of God, the love for one's neighbor…All religion is found there…How to get to that point? Not in a day since it is perfection itself: it is the goal we must always aim for, which we must unceasingly try to reach and that we will only attain in heaven.” The outbreak of World War I led to attacks on the French in Algeria. Seized in a raid by another tribe, Charles and two French soldiers coming to visit him were shot to death on December 1, 1916. Five religious congregations, associations, and spiritual institutes—Little Brothers of Jesus, Little Sisters of the Sacred Heart, Little Sisters of Jesus, Little Brothers of the Gospel, and Little Sisters of the Gospel—draw inspiration from the peaceful, largely hidden, yet hospitable life that characterized Charles. He was beatified in 2005 and canonized in 2022. Reflection The life of Charles de Foucauld was eventually centered on God and was animated by prayer and humble service, which he hoped would draw Muslims to Christ. Those who are inspired by his example, no matter where they live, seek to live their faith humbly yet with deep religious conviction. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Es geht um Rohstoffe, Rüstungsdeals und internationale Anerkennung. Im Schatten des Ukrainekriegs hat Russland seinen Einfluss in vielen afrikanischen Staaten ausgeweitet. Russische Paramilitärs spielen dabei eine Schlüsselrolle, wie das Beispiel Mali zeigt. «Wir wissen, dass die Russen heute die wichtigsten Partner der malischen Armee sind», sagt ein Goldhändler der Tuareg in der nordmalischen Stadt Gao. Man erkenne die russischen Kämpfer leicht an ihren Uniformen und Abzeichen und daran, dass die wenigsten Französisch sprächen. Der Kreml hat im letzten Jahrzehnt mit 43 afrikanischen Staaten Militärabkommen geschlossen. Er profitierte dabei vom schlechten Ruf des Westens. In unsicheren Sahelstaaten wie Mali ist die Verbitterung insbesondere gegenüber Frankreich gross. Russland inszeniert sich in Afrika gern als Gegenentwurf zu den alten Kolonialmächten. Doch selbstlos ist das russische Engagement nicht. Auch ist es begleitet vom Vorwurf schwerer Menschenrechtsverletzungen. Besonders im Fokus: die «Wagner»-Gruppe. Jewgeni Prigoschin, der berüchtigte Anführer dieser russischen Söldnertruppe, kam 2023 bei einem Flugzeugabsturz ums Leben, kurz nach seiner Rebellion gegen die russische Regierung. Der Kreml hat Prigoschins Imperium im Afrika seither direkt übernommen.

War es Wahlbetrug? Nach den Präsidentschaftswahlen in Vanazuela protestieren viele im Land gegen das Ergebnis. Präsident Nicolas Maduro hatte sich als Sieger ausgerufen. Das Resultat wird im In- und Ausland angezweifelt. * Ein Brief vom französischen Präsidenten Emmanuel Macron sorgt für dicke Luft zwischen Frankreich und Algerien. Macron hat nämlich dem marokkanischen König geschrieben - der Inhalt passt Algerien gar nicht. * In Mali in Westafrika sind dutzende russische Söldner der Wagner-Gruppe getötet worden. Tagelang sollen sie dort gegen die Tuareg gekämpft haben. * Neue Daten zum Klimawandel geben Grund zur Hoffnung: Wenn wir die erneuerbaren Energien weiterhin ausbauen, erwärme sich das Klima weniger starkt als bisher befürchtet.

Our Best of 2024 So Far (Pt. 1) edition featuring music from Les Amazones d'Afrique, South Korea's Minhwi Lee, Tuareg guitarist Mdou Moctar + more!

The NYC group Zelenaya mixes traditional folk music with heavy metal in ways that are both surprising and convincing. Haunting three part harmonies, doom-laden guitars, pummeling drums – somehow it all comes together in Zelenaya's debut album, called simply, Folk Songs. The band has both confused and carried away audiences at campground diasporic folk festivals and at death metal shows; serving up music for those who are into Ukrainian choirs, Mussorgsky, math rock and Tuareg guitar bands, Black Sabbath, and Bolt Thrower. In what is likely the first instance of a blast beat and a wall of amps in the Soundcheck Studio, Zelenaya sculpts Eastern European folk tunes into doom metal-laden arrangements, sung in Ukrainian and Georgian, in-studio. (-John Schaefer/Caryn Havlik) Set list: 1. Hora Za Horoyu (Ukrainian) (Mountain Beyond Mountains) 2. Okro Mch'edelo (Georgian) (Goldsmith) 3. Oy Letilo Kupailo (Ukrainian) (Oh, Kupalo Flew)

The Tuareg singer and guitarist Mdou Moctar is from Niger, and his music career began with his songs being shared across mobile phone trading networks in West Africa. Now, as an ambassador of the Agadez sound, he plays his songs on the world's biggest music stages, including Coachella, and, coming soon, Bonnaroo and Glastonbury. Moctar and his band combine rock and psychedelia, often in the "Desert Blues" style of loping and sometimes accelerating threes. Mdou Moctar's latest album is called Funeral for Justice, and features his most fiery guitar playing yet. He and his band are here, to stretch out and play this perhaps trancey music for staying lifted, in-studio.  They play at Bowery Ballroom on June 25 and at Warsaw in Brooklyn on June 26.  1.

What's a matriarchy? Documentarian Izzy Chan puts us up on game about what matriarchies actually are and what they're like, and reveals surprising facts about women-led societies.Remoy takes the mic this week to explore this system that is often viewed as a patriarchy with women in charge. Matriarchy, however, is far from that. Remoy makes the important note, which bears repeating, that most sources used to write this episode have the same patriarchal lens that we are trying to unMASK. We must always bear this in mind.Izzy talks us through the buzz words that describe women-led societies—what's matrilineal versus matrilocal versus matriarchal? Listen to find out!But there's a reason why Izzy only uses one of these terms, though. She shares her experience creating her documentary Matriarch and the feedback she's gotten.Izzy dispels the one-to-one comparison between patriarchy and matriarchy using facts from the societies she's exploring in Matriarch.What role do men play in a matriarchy?Izzy fascinates Remoy and Samantha with the way men leaders (and husbands) are picked in the matriarchies she's documenting.Roles were respected in a different way in matriarchies, a way that didn't require oppression or exploitation. So much to learn from this system…Why don't we hear that much about matriarchies? Besides separate efforts to undermine their existence and legitimacy, many of them have been overtaken by patriarchal settlers.Remoy talks us through a couple matriarchies from different corners of the world.First the Bijagos. Folks living in the Guinea Bissau archipelago were a matriarchy run by clan mothers. But this wasn't just patriarchy with women at the top. Listen to find out how the Bijagos ran their community.Then he comes to the Western hemisphere to present the Haudenosaunee, an indigenous group based in what is now Canada. Also a matriarchal and matrilineal community with mixed leadership, the Haudenosaunee is a longstanding group with community as one of its core values.Is it true that in some societies, women propose to men? Get ready to hear more excitement from Remoy than you've heard all year. Izzy paints a picture of the matriarchies and what it looks like to include all genders in leadership. She makes an important point about gender roles in matriarchies, which she credits to her advisor on Matriarch, a member of the Haudenosaunee tribe.Why are there so many matriarchies that no longer exist? Look no further than Western settler culture and colonialism. Guess how they proceeded?Quiz yourself on matriarchies with all the buzz words we give you this episode!HoyanehOrebokClan motherDatukRemoy gets just five questions to ask Izzy about matriarchy and gender. Izzy shines more light on one of patriarchy's running theme: control.Is it still a problem in matriarchy? We'll let you take a wild guess.She shares the most surprising things about matriarchy and checks all of us on the language that we use when talking about community.Izzy implores us to ask “Right for whom?!” when it comes to gender roles in any system.Izzy shares why it's important to study and document matriarchies. What can we learn from them?Would you move to a matriarchy for a year? Why or not?? Let us know!Referenced in this episode:The first look at Matriarch, Izzy Chan's upcoming documentary on matriarchal societies:Indonesia's MinangkabauKhasis: India's indigenous matrilineal societyIn Sahara Desert's Tuareg Tribe, Islamic Women Rule The RoostA look at the MosuoInformation about the Haudenosaunee from the HaudenosauneeSome history on the BijagosCOMPANION PIECES:We talked about community with Jeremy Herte of Let's Talk Bruh and started exploring patriarchy vs matriarchy in Let's Talk MASKulinity, BruhLearn more about matriarchies!

Ownership of 10 percent or more of the voting power in an enterprise in one economy by an investor in another economy is evidence of such a relationship. FDI is a key element in international economic integration because it creates stable and long-lasting links between economies. FDI is an important channel for the transfer of technology between countries, promotes international trade through access to foreign markets, and can be an important vehicle for economic development. source Mali Civil War(17:15 or p.5 in the transcript)Mali has been in crisis since 2012, when a northern separatist rebellion led by members of the minority ethnic Tuareg community paved the way for a military coup and an Islamist insurgent advance. Rebels—bolstered by arms from Libya and fighters with ties to Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM)—declared an independent state of “Azawad” in the north. By mid-2012, AQIM and two allied groups had outmaneuvered the separatists to assert control over much of the north. At the transitional government's request, France deployed its military in early 2013 to counter an Islamist insurgent advance and ousted insurgent leaders from major towns in the north. A U.N. peacekeeping operation, MINUSMA, was established in mid-2013 to help stabilize the country, absorbing a nascent African-led intervention force. Veteran politician Ibrahim Boubacar Kéïta was elected president, at which point donors, including the United States, normalized relations with Bamako. French forces transitioned into Operation Barkhane, a regional counterterrorism mission that received U.S. military logistical support, in 2014. Under international pressure to reach a peace deal in the north, the government signed an accord in 2015 with two armed coalitions: one led by ex-separatists, and the other by pro-unity groups with ties to Bamako. President Kéïta was reelected in 2018, but opposition mounted over corruption, allegedly fraudulent legislative elections, insecurity, and economic hardships. Large street protests erupted against Kéïta's administration in mid-2020. State security forces cracked down on protesters, and Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) mediators failed to achieve a roadmap out of the impasse. The 2020 coup d'état followed. source

People around the world are mourning the death of Alexei Navalny, Russia's leading opposition politician. Thousands of people came to his funeral in Moscow on Friday. Navalny died last month while being held in a remote Russian prison in the Arctic Circle. And, a team of scientists sought to find out how violence between rebel groups in Central African Republic has affected the country's mortality rate. They found that it's shaken the foundations of the country. Also, Iran is holding parliamentary elections this week but voter turnout is a major concern to its political leaders. Discontent is rampant in the country following years of protests and a struggling economy. Plus, the godfather of Tuareg desert blues.

In today's episode of Destination Morocco podcast, Azdean, Hiba and Sam expand on the historical canvas and cultural fabric formed by the Amazigh, or Berber, tribes across North Africa.Our focus is an overview of some of the more prominent tribes and communities, who have had a long and lasting impact on the region. Long before modern political borders, invaders and settlers, and contemporary languages and culture, these Amazigh peoples were laying down cultural roots still seen today.Our list includes:the Riffians of Northern Morocco and the Rif Mountains, the Kabyles of Northern Algeria, the Tuareg: a more nomadic people but with predominantly in Mali, the Chleuh of southern Morocco and the High Atlas Mountains (Agadir, Tafraout, Ouarazazate areas), the Zayanist of a different area of southern Morocco (the Anti-Atlas Mountains), the Mzabites of central Algeria, and the Siwa of western Egypt, who have far more in common with their Amazigh cousins than with the Arabs of contemporary Egypt.In Part 1 of our series, we gave an overview of the Amazigh culture and identity, and its history and influence dating back thousands of years. In Part 2, we explore the distinct identities, customs and dialects within the Amazigh world, since they are far from a homogeneous community, which makes sense covering such a large area. While listening to their story, it is important to erase for a moment those borders, lines, names and flags that are more familiar. Underneath are the Amazigh, and when you visit Morocco, or indeed continue further across North Africa, you will know who these groups are and how they all fit together.Our series, "The Amazigh Chronicles," will continue after this as additional bonus episodes for those who enjoy diving in deeper to cultural history from a modern day perspective, brought to you by native Moroccans themselves. Keep an eye out for further episodes in our podcast feed. Our general theme in early 2024 is learning about cultural identities in Morocco and North Africa, and in turn opportunities for you as a traveller to understand and experience this in person. Our upcoming episodes in February, including our Live Q&A, will continue along these lines with lots of practical information and advice to help you really get to know Morocco and its people.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 3rd of January, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start with 1 Peter 1:13:"Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ."Gird up the loins of your mind! We must understand we are on a critical journey; our destination is heaven, but there is a long road for us to walk. The other night, I watched a television programme about the Tuareg people (I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly) of the Sahara Desert. They say that the Sahara Desert is their country, hardy people that operate on camels. Every year, they prepare for a journey of about 1,000 km through the most treacherous terrain on earth. They go to buy salt from a specific place where it is quarried. Hundreds of camels go with these people, but what fascinated me was their preparation before they set out on their journey. They sew up goat skins where they put water so no drop escapes. They dry out dates and take millet to eat a gruel on this journey. They have one very experienced man who takes them through the desert, which goes week after week through dunes with no sign of any directions. That man is the son of a man who did it before him and him before his father. They prepared correctly. They girded up their loins for the journey and made it every time. They don't stop, whether there's a sandstorm and they can't see one yard ahead - They keep going. They're experienced, seasoned men. I was amazed at their concentration, their discipline and the hope that they had for their destination.Now, as followers of Jesus Christ, you and I need to do the same as we start 2024. We need to gird up our loins, be sober and rest in the hope of Jesus Christ. Remember, the writer is saying gird up the loins of your mind - it's the mind, my dear friends, that we need to protect to get to our destination, heaven, and meet with the Lord. Have a wonderful day as you start to prepare for the remainder of this journey that you are taking, on this earth. Goodbye.

We do Christmas shows different. Using ancient desert trade routes made famous by megarich kings, narcos, terrorists and arms traffickers have turned the Sahel region into one of the world's deadliest drug caravans. In recent years cigarette traders, Tuareg separatists and religious rebels have coalesced into a giant, lucrative underworld. Among its key players, one man stands out—and though his career path is about as apocryphal as the average midnight mass, his impact is no less huge. Learn more about your ad choices.

The United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) was established on April 25, 2013 to stabilize the country after the Tuareg rebellion of 2012. In June 2023, a new government that had come to power in a coup withdrew the mandate, forcing the mission and all of its staff to depart the country by the end of the year. Joe Ruzicka served as the Senior Advisor to the Commanding General, as well as the Senior U.S. Military Observer to MINUSMA, during that turbulent time. He is in the studio with guest hosts Jonny Drake and TJ Moffatt to discuss his experiences in Mali and why the mission ended. It's the second of a two-part episode that examines the pros and cons of how the UN mission in Mali was conducted.

Full Text of ReadingsFriday of the Thirty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 507The Saint of the day is Saint Charles de FoucauldSaint Charles de Foucauld's Story Born into an aristocratic family in Strasbourg, France, Charles was orphaned at the age of 6, raised by his devout grandfather, rejected the Catholic faith as a teenager, and joined the French army. Inheriting a great deal of money from his grandfather, Charles went to Algeria with his regiment, but not without his mistress, Mimi. When he declined to give her up, he was dismissed from the army. Still in Algeria when he left Mimi, Charles reenlisted in the army. Refused permission to make a scientific exploration of nearby Morocco, he resigned from the service. With the help of a Jewish rabbi, Charles disguised himself as a Jew and in 1883, began a one-year exploration that he recorded in a book that was well received. Inspired by the Jews and Muslims whom he met, Charles resumed the practice of his Catholic faith when he returned to France in 1886. He joined a Trappist monastery in Ardeche, France, and later transferred to one in Akbes, Syria. Leaving the monastery in 1897, Charles worked as gardener and sacristan for the Poor Clare nuns in Nazareth and later in Jerusalem. In 1901, he returned to France and was ordained a priest. Later that year Charles journeyed to Beni-Abbes, Morocco, intending to found a monastic religious community in North Africa that offered hospitality to Christians, Muslims, Jews, or people with no religion. He lived a peaceful, hidden life but attracted no companions. A former army comrade invited him to live among the Tuareg people in Algeria. Charles learned their language enough to write a Tuareg-French and French-Tuareg dictionary, and to translate the Gospels into Tuareg. In 1905, he came to Tamanrasset, where he lived the rest of his life. A two-volume collection of Charles' Tuareg poetry was published after his death. In early 1909, he visited France and established an association of laypeople who pledged to live by the Gospels. His return to Tamanrasset was welcomed by the Tuareg. In 1915, Charles wrote to Louis Massignon: “The love of God, the love for one's neighbor…All religion is found there…How to get to that point? Not in a day since it is perfection itself: it is the goal we must always aim for, which we must unceasingly try to reach and that we will only attain in heaven.” The outbreak of World War I led to attacks on the French in Algeria. Seized in a raid by another tribe, Charles and two French soldiers coming to visit him were shot to death on December 1, 1916. Five religious congregations, associations, and spiritual institutes—Little Brothers of Jesus, Little Sisters of the Sacred Heart, Little Sisters of Jesus, Little Brothers of the Gospel, and Little Sisters of the Gospel—draw inspiration from the peaceful, largely hidden, yet hospitable life that characterized Charles. He was beatified in 2005 and canonized in 2022. Reflection The life of Charles de Foucauld was eventually centered on God and was animated by prayer and humble service, which he hoped would draw Muslims to Christ. Those who are inspired by his example, no matter where they live, seek to live their faith humbly yet with deep religious conviction. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

The United Nations says at least 75 people have been killed in Abyei. It's a highly contested region, sandwiched between Sudan and South Sudan. While the borders between the two countries were agreed, Abiye was left unallocated. What's the reason behind the ongoing battle for Abyei? Also Mali's military junta have retaken a town held by Tuareg rebels, with the help of Wagner mercenaries. So where does this leave Mali? And the award winning Mozambican photographer Mario Macilau, tells us what inspires him.

Last week the Malian army seized the town of Kidal, in the country's north - weeks after the United Nations stabilisation mission, MINUSMA, withdrew from its base there. For the past decade, Kidal has been a stronghold of the Tuareg rebel group - and so its capture was a symbolic success for Mali's military leaders, who seized power in 2020. They have made the restoration of territorial sovereignty a key priority. The military government has given UN forces until the end of the year to withdraw from the country - triggering a race to seize territory between the army, rebel groups and jihadists. But while the army is now in control of the military base – the question of who's in control of the region is far more complicated. In this episode of Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja speaks to the BBC's Beverly Ochieng and MINUSMA spokesperson, Fatoumata Kaba.

On the show this time, it's the next generation of Tuareg music - the desert rock of Tamikrest. According to their bio, in the Tamasheq language, Tamikrest means “connection.”  The group members come from Mali, Niger, Algeria and France.  Their music takes root in Ishumar “rebel music” Rock, or Tuareg Blues….and it flowers - expanding as they explore and include their ever widening set of influences. Their singer Ousman Ag Mosa lives, as he says, “everywhere in the desert” - because he is a nomad. Generally he walks somewhere south of Algeria and north of Mali.  The Tamasheq people want to preserve their culture, their way of life, and their land.  He sings in Tamasheq, to keep their poems, history and the music alive.  Their latest album “Tamotäit” is available on Glitterbeat Records.

When I set up to record this episode about Tuareg guitar master Bombino with Deer Tick's drummer / co-songwriter Dennis Ryan, I had no idea that this incredibly intense episode was to take place during an honest-to-God flood evacuation...but we just keep on goin', because Bombino's discography isn't gonna rate itself. In this episode, you'll learn about: The songwriting methodology Dennis Ryan uses to separate out his solo work from his Deer Tick material; And whether or not the emergency carbon monoxide alarm that was going off for half this episode saved my life.   Listen: https://podfollow.com/1592182331  2-3 podcasts / week: Patreon.com/Discograffiti  Currently, there are over 100 Patreon episodes!

When we talk about the influence of American performers on African music, we usually think about a few obvious examples, legends like Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix or James Brown. In this episode, we go beyond these stars to explore the legacy of some lesser-known inspirations. We'll learn how the fluid guitar playing of '70s rock band Dire Straits became massively popular in the Sahel, influencing Tuareg rockers like Tinariwen and Tamikrest. We'll hear about the American country superstar Jim Reeves' African career, and the unlikely story of how the pedal steel made it from Hawaii to Lagos. Finally, we'll travel to Angola with the help of director Jeremy Xido, to explore that nation's death metal scene. And along the way, we will try to understand just how to account for taste.

Banning, Georges, and Mukwae speak with Tuareg rocker Bombino; and Ugandan musician and politician, Bobi Wine. Episode #003

The confederations and clans collectively known as the Tuareg descend from the oldest inhabitants of North Africa. They lead a mostly nomadic existence across the Sahara Desert, in the lands we now know as Algeria, Libya, Niger and Mali. Tuareg communities have long felt neglected by independent African governments, especially in Mali, which has endured a succession of rebellions. In 2012, a Tuareg uprising led to a year-long crisis in which the Malian north separated from the country and fell under harsh control by Islamic extremists. Ironically, these extremists banned music, which in the hands of modern bands like Tinariwen had been a crucial means for expressing Tuareg aspirations. This broadcast unravels this complex history and provides a vivid portrait of the Tuareg predicament in Mali today. The program samples a rich variety of Tuareg music and includes conversations with Tuareg musicians and cultural authorities in the wake of Mali's crisis, as well as with University of Houston anthropologist Susan Rasmussen, who has been researching and writing about Tuareg culture for over 30 years, and veteran journalist and author Andy Morgan.

Tristan has led expeditions in five continents, climbed mountains in Europe, Africa and Asia, sailed small boats across oceans and piloted small aircraft to Africa and the Arctic. He has walked with and studied the methods of the Tuareg, Bedouin and Dayak in some of the remotest regions on Earth. He has tested Viking navigation methods in a small boat in the north Atlantic, leading to the academic paper, Nature's Radar. He is the only living person to have both flown solo and sailed singlehanded across the Atlantic and is a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Navigation and the Royal Geographical Society. He has written for the Sunday Times, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the BBC and many magazines. Tristan set up his natural navigation school in 2008 and is the author of award-winning and internationally bestselling books, including The Natural Navigator (2010) The Lost Art of Reading Nature's Signs (US) / The Walker's Guide to Outdoor Clues & Signs (UK 2014), How to Read Water (2016), The Secret World of Weather (2021) and How to Read a Tree (2023), some of the world's only books covering natural navigation. His books have been translated into 19 languages. He has spent decades hunting for clues and signs in nature, across the globe, and has been nicknamed: “The Sherlock Holmes of Nature”

The crisis in Mali continues to deepen. An alliance of Tuareg rebels called the CMA, which had signed an agreement with the government, has announced that it is resuming hostilities. That comes after Mali's military government ordered the expulsion of French troops and UN peacekeepers from the country, with a jihadist insurgency still proving impossible to overcome. Could the deaths of thousands of people in Derna, Libya and the extensive damage to property and infrastructure been mitigated? We hear the views of a construction engineer Plus, how the self-declared Republic of Somaliland is using an app to boost literacy skills.

This week, Alan, Quinta, and Scott were joined by their colleague and think-tank neighbor, Russia/Ukraine expert Eric Ciaramella, to talk over the week's big news, including:“Going All (Prigozh)in.” Yevgeny Prighozin, leader of the mercenary Wagner Group, went all in this past week, marching his troops into Russia and halfway to Moscow for the stated purpose of removing Russia's military leadership, only to abruptly halt and accept exile in Belarus instead. What does this mean for the conflict in Ukraine—and future of the Putin regime?“Lost at Sea.” In a busy week of news, one story has gotten surprisingly little attention: the tragic sinking of an overcrowded smugglers' boat off the coast of Greece that claimed the lives of hundreds of migrants. What does this incident tell us about the dynamics of the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean—and how the world views it?“Moore, Moore, Moore! (How do YOU like it?)” The Supreme Court issued decisions in three major cases this past week, including addressing the much-discussed Independent State Legislature Doctrine in Moore v. Harper. What did the Court decide, and what will these decisions mean?For object lessons, Scott flagged that Lawfare has a new website, now located at www.lawfaremedia.org! Alan recommended the new sci-fi think-piece "The Mountain in the Sea" by Ray Nayler. Quinta endorsed Mohsin Hamid's book "Exit West" as a meditation on borders and crossing them. And Eric urged listeners to check out the epic guitar riffs of the Tuareg music collective Tinariwen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
