Le président burundais, Évariste Ndayishimiye, a été désigné le 17 juillet envoyé spécial de l'Union africaine pour le Sahel. Sa mission sera de renouer le dialogue avec les trois pays de l'Alliance des États du Sahel, à savoir le Niger, le Mali et le Burkina Faso, qui sont suspendus de l'organisation depuis les coups d'État. Pourquoi Évariste Ndayishimiye a-t-il été choisi ? La nouvelle gouvernance de l'Union africaine souhaite-t-elle davantage impliquer les chefs d'État en exercice dans la résolution des conflits sur le continent ? Liesl Louw-Vaudran est conseillère principale à l'International Crisis Group pour l'Union africaine. Elle est l'invitée de Pierre Firtion. RFI : Comment analysez-vous la nomination d'Évariste Ndayishimiye comme envoyé spécial de l'Union africaine pour le Sahel ? Liesl Louw-Vaudran : Ça peut être un peu surprenant parce que, en fait, ce n'est pas dans l'habitude qu'un président de l'Union africaine, donc, João Lourenço de l'Angola, nomme un autre président en exercice en tant qu'envoyé spécial. Mais ça montre quand même que cette question du Sahel et de l'AES est très importante pour l'Union africaine. Et le fait que ces trois pays soient suspendus de l'Union africaine – ils ont aussi quitté la Communauté économique des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest – est vraiment inquiétant. C'est presqu'existentiel pour l'unité africaine. Et l'Union africaine cherche depuis longtemps des moyens d'ouvrir le dialogue avec ces pays-là. Donc, c'est une très bonne chose que le président Lourenço lui-même prenne ça très au sérieux. Mais pourquoi avoir choisi le président burundais ? Le choix du président Évariste Ndayishimiye peut surprendre, comme je le disais, mais on pense que ça peut reposer sur plusieurs bases. Premièrement, ça peut créer une certaine continuité parce que le président burundais sera président de l'Union africaine l'année prochaine. Deuxièmement, il est aussi un ancien militaire, donc il sera peut-être plus à même de discuter avec les dirigeants de ces pays, même s'il est un peu d'une autre génération. Et je pense que, troisièmement, il est loin de la région, donc il peut être perçu comme plus neutre. Mais il faut dire qu'Évariste Ndayishimiye n'a pas vraiment d'expérience dans ce domaine de négociation, de dialogue. Il était président de la Communauté Économique des États de l'Afrique centrale aussi quand il y avait de nombreuses crises dans cette région. Donc, on n'a pas vu vraiment le fait qu'il a mis en œuvre sa capacité de dialogue. Donc, il manque de l'expérience. Quel va être précisément sa mission ? Ce sera d'abord, avant tout, on pourrait dire, de renouer le dialogue avec ces trois pays ? Je pense que c'est ça : c'est ouvrir le dialogue, créer la confiance, et puis faire des propositions certainement aux autres pays de l'Union africaine : comment engager ce processus de dialogue, comment aider les pays (si c'est possible). Et puis, éventuellement, réfléchir à leur retour. On parle là d'Évariste Ndayishimiye. En avril, c'était le Togolais Faure Gnassingbé qui a été nommé médiateur pour le conflit dans l'est de la RDC. Nommer des chefs d'État en exercice, c'est une des marques de fabrique de la nouvelle gouvernance de l'Union africaine ? Oui, c'est quelque chose de nouveau. Mais je pense que le choix de la Commission de l'UA, c'est d'abord d'essayer de trouver des anciens chefs d'État. Aujourd'hui, par exemple, pour le Soudan, pour d'autres crises, on réfléchit à essayer de trouver des anciens chefs d'État avec suffisamment de poids sur le continent. Mais il faut dire qu'il y a très peu d'options. Choisir un président en exercice, ça a aussi ses difficultés. On l'a vu avec l'Angola et la crise des Grands Lacs. Ce sont des chefs d'États qui ont leurs propres problèmes à gérer dans leur propre pays. Mais on a l'impression que l'Union africaine est un peu à court de solutions. Je pense que l'Union africaine cherche des mécanismes qui peuvent être efficaces, mais ce n'est pas facile. Sur les grandes crises du moment, l'Union africaine peine toujours à faire entendre sa voix et à imposer ses vues. Qu'est-ce qui bloque concrètement ? Vraiment, je pense que, concrètement, ce qui bloque, c'est d'abord la capacité de l'institution qui a vraiment un faible budget, un faible staff, et de multiples crises à gérer. Il y a un problème de subsidiarité. C'est-à-dire que, dans beaucoup de crises, c'est la région elle-même qui la prend en charge. Et très souvent, il y a tension entre l'Union africaine à Addis-Abeba et les régions, comme par exemple avec les Grands Lacs, avec la Communauté de développement d'Afrique australe (SADC), la Communauté est-africaine (EAC) et l'Union africaine qui n'a pas vraiment trouvé sa place là, à part avec cette médiation angolaise. Et je pense que, troisièmement, avec le rôle des acteurs extérieurs dans les crises, comme au Soudan par exemple, c'est très difficile pour l'Union africaine de peser dans un conflit où il y a des acteurs très puissants. Donc, ça échappe un peu à l'Union africaine. Et comme je le dis, il y a des conflits comme celui au Soudan du Sud où l'Union africaine peut éventuellement faire quelque chose. La Somalie, c'est pareil, il y a une force africaine, donc il y a des endroits et des opportunités pour l'Union africaine de montrer son efficacité. Même si dans des grandes crises très importantes comme celle du Soudan, pour le moment, l'Union africaine n'arrive pas à y avoir vraiment un rôle.

In this solo episode, Matej breaks down the new rules of user acquisition for mobile games in 2025, backed by real survey data from 20,000+ newsletter subs and hundreds of UA managers. Full report: https://lancaric.substack.com/p/q1-2025-brutally-honest-ua-reportFrom channel splits and rewarded UA to the creative volume arms race, fraud, AI hacks, and why your next UA hire needs to be a creative prompt engineer, nothing is off the table. This is the data-driven, brutally honest update the industry needs.What's inside:UA Channel Reality: Most studios still pump 80 percent of spend into Facebook and Google, even when running across nine channels and doing seven million a year. Some are forced to pause Facebook or shift heavy budgets to Applovin—yet diversification is still rare and risky.Rewarded UA Surge: Rewarded UA channels are exploding, with more vendors than ever. The scale is better, but fraud and LTV prediction remain massive headaches. Retention falls off after D7, so you need tougher targets, multi-step offers, and real post-install engagement to make the math work.Creative Arms Race: The volume of creatives needed has never been higher. The best ad-monetized games now pump out 2,000+ creatives a quarter—more shots on goal, more winners, and more chance to beat your “stuck” top creative. Iteration and refresh speed is everything.AI Eats Creative: AI-generated creatives, AI UGC, and meta-style hooks are not a trend—they're the new default. The best teams use AI to pump out, localize, and iterate hooks, voiceovers, and even UGC cameos faster than ever.Creative Testing & Skills: Most teams test new creatives by launching them straight into BAU (business as usual) campaigns, rather than in separate tests. TikTok and Apple, not just Facebook, are where new winners show up. If your UA manager can't write a killer AI prompt, you're already behind.Key Takeaway:2025 is not about more channels or smarter spend—it's about creative firepower, AI leverage, and hiring UA pros who are part prompt engineer, part analyst, part storyteller. Copy the benchmarks, scale the winners, and never stop refreshing.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop---------------------------------------Vibe.

In this edition, Julian & Ashea are joined by Will Shanks and James Santiago of Universal Audio, where they discuss UA's impact on bringing hardware magic to the digital age.About Our Guests:Will Shanks: Senior Product Designer / Professional PluginsJames Santiago: Senior Product Designer / Guitar ProductsTalking Points:The Secret History of the A-Type ProcessorA-Type processor, and how UA pushed it even further with modern circuit mods and expanded creative features.A-Type as historic preservation tool of a particular era of recorded musicAnalogue Vs Digital Vs Analogue Emulation with additional features.UA's impact on bringing hardware magic to the digital age About A-Type Multiband Dynamic Enhancer For modern music producers, the name “A-Type” conjures images of analog recording studios and ancient equipment used for workhorse tasks like noise reduction and tape transfers to digital. But such associations don't tell the whole story. The legacy of the Dolby A-Type noise reduction system* isn't just about preservation — it is also a story of transformation. What began as a groundbreaking noise reduction circuit in the golden age of magnetic tape quietly shaped the sound of some of the most iconic records of all time as a creative effect. Now, reimagined as a modern tool for music producers and engineers working in DAWs, the UAD A-Type Multiband Dynamic Enhancer plug-in brings this forgotten “studio secret” back into the spotlight.

We unpack KnitOut by Rollic, a surprising hit blending simple, relaxing puzzle mechanics with clever monetization and UA execution. Underneath the soothing yarn is a sophisticated, scalable system that echoes the Turkish studio's proven blueprint. KnitOut is already generating $ 60,000 daily revenue and 20,000 downloads a day, with the US accounting for sixty percent of revenue and CPIs exceeding $10. What's inside:Core Gameplay: Addictive bench mechanic, yarn “block jam” puzzle core, and highly satisfying ASMR touches. Monetization: Interstitials start after level sixteen or eighteen. First rewarded ad comes with an upsell to “remove ads” IAP. No banners. Creative StrategyBlueprint for Hits: Rollic's process is all about finding a sticky core, tuning every curve, scaling hard, and only adding events or meta once retention and monetization benchmarks are proven. Hundreds of prototypes feed the pipeline, but only a handful get to scale.Key Takeaway:KnitOut looks simple, but it is a masterclass in “build core first, polish to perfection, then scale with data.” The Turkish blueprint continues to win, even as clones flood the market.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop--------------------------------------PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investors---------------------------------------Vibe.

In this solo episode, Felix Braberg walks through the six most effective ad placements he's tested and rolled out across top ad-monetized mobile games and client portfolios in 2024 and 2025. Drawing from live examples in games like Woodoku, Happy Color, Screwmaster 3D, Subway Surfers, and more, Felix details exactly how to engineer ad placements that boost ARPDAU, drive first purchases, and turn non-payers into rewarded ad whales.What's inside:Step Offer Chains: Build offers as a chain of steps—first offering free items, then a rewarded ad, then paid, and finally more free, creating a mental ladder that nudges first-time purchases and ad engagement. Use notification buttons to highlight available rewarded ads.Recency Effect Monetization: Use mediation hacks to always serve the highest eCPM ad unit. Supersonic's tactic: on app open, cache both rewarded and interstitial ads, then dynamically check which one pays more at every impression. Serve interstitials in rewarded slots if they outpay, but never the reverse.Convert-or-Die Placements: At every natural gameplay break, offer a rewarded ad first—if skipped, immediately serve an interstitial. Users quickly learn there is always an ad coming and will shift to rewarded for better value.Store Exit Rewarded Ads: Instead of putting rewarded ads inside the store, show them as a standalone pop-up only if a user leaves the store without buying. This boosts conversion among non-payers and is now rolling out across portfolios at scale.Unlockable Skins and Paint Jobs: Rewarded ads are used to unlock new skins, paint jobs, or game modes—sometimes requiring up to five ads for a single unlock. Use first cached ad eCPM to decide if a rewarded placement should show, especially for likely non-payers.Meta Rewards for Ad Whales: Give users bonus rewards for hitting high ad-watch thresholds (ten ads a day unlocks a speed buff, for example). This turns high-volume ad viewers into meta progression junkies, boosting both ad ARPDAU and retention.Key Takeaway:Test these placements, track them against the best ad-monetized games in the market, and always iterate. Small changes in placement, sequence, and creative lead to big jumps in revenue—especially for non-payers and ad whales.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shopVibe.

How many battles are you fighting without even being aware you're in the arena?It might seem like everything is “fine”. Sure, you had struggles, some hard times and bad luck, and things that didn't quite go your way. Many people have a story or two about the time they got fucked over BECAUSE they were doing the right thing.That boomerang can spin around and hit you when you least expect it, like it did for Tony Crescenzo.Tony grew up in a family of mechanics. Really, all the men in his family were mechanics, except for one grandfather who retired relatively young and bought a farm. They all lived in that same South Philadelphia neighborhood where the Rocky Balboa character trained for his fights with Apollo Creed. So young Tony worked Saturdays as a mechanic and Sundays on his grandfather's farm, learning the value of good, honest work.Tony's parents divorced. His mother remarried to a Navy officer and they moved to Hawaii. His stepfather's friend was an old-school Marine whose John Wayne-esque tales of service and heroism inspired young Tony to join the Marines. That's where he learned priceless lessons about teamwork, being part of something greater than yourself, and the importance of service. That's until he was assigned to NIS (which is what it was before NCIS), working in criminal investigations to bring down a paycheck scam. As the only witness for the upcoming court-martial of the accused, he soon found himself being court-martialed – and convicted – for a plethora of exaggerated charges, one of which was that he was UA (think AWOL) even though he was on an approved leave!So much for Semper Fi, right? Well, not exactly. Tony did get the conviction reversed, along with a commendation for his service and $20 for his trouble. But he decided to pivot to the private sector, working for, leading, and owning various companies and becoming a sort of “Clint Eastwood” of corporate restructuring. The thing is, his penchant for fighting was affecting every aspect of his life. Both his first and his second wives were used to Tony waking them up in the middle of the night screaming in his sleep. In his own words, he was was one of those people who goes from zero to fuck you in 10 seconds. So things weren't “fine”. It's a four-letter word. And then everything changed when he mis-Googled directions to the CIA.In a moment, when we meet Tony, he is going to give us a master class in accountability, vulnerability, and leadership including the power of meditation and an innovative method he is bringing to market for treating PTSD. As you listen, reflect on the fact that PTSD is not limited to those who have seen death and destruction on the battlefield. It comes in many different forms from triggers you might not even know.Tony's hype song is “Summer Wind” by Frank Sinatra.
