After attaining independence in 1961, the United Republic of Tanzania became instrumental in liberation movements throughout Africa. Julius Nyerere, Tanzania's first president, established the ideology of Ujamaa (African socialism) as Tanzania's political, social, and economic ideology. At the time of independence, the US established diplomatic ties with Tanzania and Nyerere had a close relationship with President John F. Kennedy. Nyerere stepped down from his presidency in 1985 and subsequent presidents opened Tanzania to become more democratic politically and economically while maintaining a socialist philosophy further strengthening relations with the US. However, the presidency of the late President John Magufuli eroded some of the democratic strides that previous presidents had instilled, straining bilateral relations with the US while strengthening ties with China. Nonetheless, the current administration under the leadership of President Samia Suluhu Hassan has beckoned on the United States for an improved relationship and deeper bilateral economic ties. Mvemba is joined by Ambassador Michael Battle, United States Ambassador to Tanzania, to discuss the history and current state of U.S.- Tanzania bilateral relations. Ambassador Battle shares his hopes of transformed US-Tanzania relations from an aid and development assistance model to a trade and investment model.

In early February and late March of this year, separate outbreaks of Marburg virus were declared in Equatorial Guinea and in the United Republic of Tanzania. For several months, news of these outbreaks and other sporadic cases made headlines globally, as public health officials watched the number of cases and suspected cases climb, calling to mind previous outbreaks of Marburg virus's relative, the deadly Ebola virus. Fortunately, the WHO declared both outbreaks over in early June, but the threat of this hemorrhagic virus remains. In this episode (recorded in April 2023) we explore why the biology Marburg virus makes it such a deadly pathogen, what its evolutionary history and the history of its discovery can tell us about the changing landscape of pathogen spillover, and how the recent outbreaks reveal how much we still don't know about this virus.

The police officers, doctors, school teachers, dentists, bishops, and the church folks that raped me were men and women who were traffickers, pimps, and customers of child sex tourism. They ended up serving life in prison without the possibility of parole for being caught sexually enslaving the children within sexual slavery that I personally knew. The church folks within sexual slavery also ended up serving life in prison without the possibility of parole for physically abusing adults that I personally knew in the crime world. I was raped by some government employees and some corporate America employees within the sexual slavery world. Sexual misconduct is real, it happened to me repeatedly. They ended up being in solitary confinement within super-maximum security (supermax) prisons or administrative maximum (ADX) prisons. Their bloodthirstiness cost them the entirety of their outside world freedom. I am against bad police and I love good police. I am against bad medical professionals and I love good medical professionals. Also, I saw some criminals were legally punished for impersonating law enforcement and medical professionals for child abuse purposes and adult abuse purposes. There are church people out there that know how to be fully sensitive to me. As a child, I was forced to shoot a pistol on the air by a couple of male misogynists who thought I wasn't capable of protecting women. Their minds quickly changed and I wasn't forced to shoot in the air anymore after that. “Child sex tourism has been closely linked to poverty, armed conflicts, rapid industrialization, and exploding population growth.[10] For instance, street children in Latin America and Southeast Asia often turn to prostitution as a last resort. Additionally, vulnerable children are easy targets for exploitation by traffickers.[10] South Africa,[11] the United States,[12] Thailand, Cambodia, India, Brazil, and Mexico have been identified as leading hotspots of child sexual exploitation.[13] Also, child victim ages have been found in Cambodia, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Thailand to range from 6 to 11 years old, followed by 12 to 15 years old, and 15 to 17.[14] In 2012, the Special Rapporteur on the sale of children, child prostitution, and child pornography reported: "Countries of origin of international child sex tourists vary depending on the regions, but the demand is usually recognized as coming from the industrialized countries, including the richer countries of Europe, North America, the Russian Federation, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Australians, for instance, have been identified as the largest group of sex tourists prosecuted in Thailand (31 percent of the total). Of the 146 cases investigated by Action Pour Les Enfants (APLE) in Cambodia between 2003 and April 2012, 32 were American, 24 were French and 20 were Vietnamese. In the coastal regions of Kenya, for example, 30 percent were residents and 70 percent of the abusers were foreign: Italians (18 percent), Germans (14 percent), and Swiss (12 percent), with tourists coming from Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania fifth and sixth on the list. According to available information in Costa Rica, between 1999 and 2005, the Child Exploitation Unit arrested 74 persons on suspicion of commercial sexual exploitation of children. Of those arrested, 56 were Costa Rican nationals and 18 foreign nationals".[15]” I am a part of the Anti-pedophile activism which encompasses opposition to pedophiles, pedophile advocacy groups, child pornography, and child sexual abuse. Much of the direct action classified as "anti-pedophile" involves demonstrations against sex offenders, against groups advocating age of consent reform, legalization of sexual activity between adults and children, and against Internet users who solicit sex from underage children and teenagers.” I am also a part of the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-rape_movement.

The Commonwealth originated from the British Empire.The Commonwealth started in 1926. This is when it changed from the British Empire to the Commonwealth. Around one-third of the world is in the Commonwealth, 2.5 billion people. The modern Commonwealth was formed on 26 April 1949 when the leaders of Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom adopted the London Declaration. The declaration defined the Commonwealth as a “free association” of independent member countries.All members have an equal say, regardless of their size or economic stature. This ensures that even the smallest countries have a voice in shaping the Commonwealth. The Pacific nation of Nauru is the smallest Commonwealth member country with a population of about 13,000. The most populous member country is India with over 1.3 billion people. In 1971 the Declaration of Commonwealth Principles were released. The principles said that it should support international peace and understanding, have equal rights for all citizens and remove poverty, ignorance and disease.In the past two decades, countries which have joined include Mozambique, Cameroon and Rwanda, which were never part of the British Empire. The Gambia re-joined in February 2018The UK has rather neglected the Commonwealth in recent years and is now desperately trying to rebuild links as a futile attempt to reduce the impact of Brexit.There are 54 countries in the Commonwealth.They are:Botswana, Cameroon, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Kingdom of Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Uganda, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia, Bangladesh, Brunei Darussalam, India, Malaysia, Maldives, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Canada, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and The Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Cyprus, Malta, United Kingdom, Australia, Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.The Commonwealth spans the globe and includes both advanced economies and developing countries.It encompasses Africa (19 countries), Asia (7), the Caribbean and Americas (13), Europe (3), and thePacific (11). The Commonwealth's strength lies in its shared values and diversity. Thirty-one of our members are small states, usually with a population well under 1.5 million, and 24 members are small island developing states.The Commonwealth is connected by an active network of more than 80 intergovernmental, civil society and professional organisations, including:o The Commonwealth Secretariat – supporting member stateso The Commonwealth Foundation – supporting civil societyo The Commonwealth of Learning – promoting distance learning and educationo The Commonwealth Games Federation – promoting sports development.

Col. David Maxwell (ret.), Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), discusses "Beyond Nuclear Crisis: New and Long-Term Strategy for the Korean Peninsula." This lecture was part of the Asia Initiative Lecture Series at The Institute of World Politics. It took place on July 7, 2022. About the Lecture: The Yoon and Biden administrations have an opportunity for a new approach to the Korean security challenge. The Alliance way ahead is an integrated deterrence strategy as part of the broader strategic competition that is taking place in the region. There is a need for a Korean “Plan B” strategy that rests on the foundation of combined ROK/U.S. defensive capabilities and includes political warfare, aggressive diplomacy, sanctions, cyber operations, and information and influence activities, with a goal of denuclearization but ultimately the objective must be to solve the “Korea question” (e.g., the unnatural division of the peninsula) with the understanding that denuclearization of the north and an end to human rights abuses and crimes against humanity will only happen when the Korea question is resolved that leads to a free and unified Korea, otherwise known as a United Republic of Korea (UROK). About the Speaker: Colonel David S. Maxwell (ret.) is the Editor-in-Chief of Small Wars Journal. He is a Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Senior Fellow at the Global Peace Foundation(where he focuses on a free and unified Korea), and a Senior Advisor to the Center for Asia Pacific Strategy. He is a 30-year veteran of the US Army, retiring as a Special Forces Colonel. He has worked in Asia for more than over 30 years, primarily in Korea, Japan, and the Philippines. Colonel Maxwell served on the United Nations Command / Combined Forces Command / United States Forces Korea CJ3 staff where he was a planner for UNC/CFC OPLAN 5027-98 and co-author of the original ROK JCS – UNC/CFC CONPLAN 5029-99 (North Korean instability and regime collapse). He later served as the Director of Plans, Policy, and Strategy and then Chief of Staff for the Special Operations Command Korea. He commanded the Joint Special Operations Task Force Philippines (JSOTF-P), served as the G3 for the United States Army Special Operations Command, and culminated his service as a member of the military faculty at the National War College. Following retirement, he served as the Associate Director of the Security Studies Program at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. Colonel Maxwell is a fellow at the Institute of Corean-American Studies, an advisory to Spirit of America, and on the Board of Directors of the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, the International Council of Korean Studies, the Council on Korean-US Security Studies, the Special Operations Research Association, the OSS Society, and the Small Wars Journal.

Putting people first through investing in human capital – the knowledge, skills, and health that people need to achieve their potential – is critical for sustainable, inclusive growth and poverty reduction. The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic threaten to leave generations behind and exacerbate inequalities. Health impacts, setbacks to nutrition, the early years and learning, job losses and expanding gender gaps must be addressed with urgency. Countries have stepped up in innovative ways to put people first through building, protecting, and utilizing human capital – with support from the World Bank and partners. However – ambition, innovation, and sustained support are needed to recover human capital losses and strengthen recovery. Investing in people consistently and providing opportunities for all to achieve their potential can yield economic dividends – and help bring greater stability in a challenging global context. During the https://live.worldbank.org/sm22/investinpeople (2022 World Bank Group-IMF Spring Meetings), leaders, innovators and change-makers shared how investments in human capital can not only change lives for individuals, but also create more inclusive and equitable societies. Listen to the Spring Meetings highlights in a special series of https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/series/the-development-podcast (The Development Podcast).

Featured voicesDavid R. Malpass, President, World Bank Group: "Men are part of the problem [gender-based violence] and have to be educated and brought forward along." Samia Suluhu Hassan, President of United Republic of Tanzania: "In some societies, the herd keepers, the livestock keepers, they prefer their kids to go for herding rather than going to school. We had to educate the parents to accept sending their kids to school." Mari Pangestu, Managing Director, Development Policy and Partnerships, World Bank: "This accelerated learning recovery really needs a focus, in terms of the programs that we need to design, the teachers that we need to train, to be able to have the tools and resources to address this." Malala Yousafzai, Co-Founder of Malala Fund: ""We know that when children enroll into schools, there's also the issue of what they learn in their classrooms. So it's the access to education, but also the quality of education that are important." Amina Mohammed, UN Deputy Secretary-General: "Even if you had connectivity, teachers were not prepared to teach, and learners were not prepared to learn, even though we thought we had them connected."

Developed nations like the United Kingdom and the United States are experiencing growing radical oppositions and deep divisions between rural communities and bustling urban centers. A severe lack of opportunities plagues poorer communities. Young people have little to look forward to except a bleak job market, while older workers are marginalized as their skills lose value. One of the world's most influential development economists, Paul Collier, tackles these issues in his recent book, The Future Of Capitalism.In this episode, Paul and Greg talk nationalism vs. patriotism, how personal and national identities have evolved and delve into Paul's diagnosis of capitalism's failures and ideas for how we can reform it.Episode Quotes:What motivated you to shift the focus of your work to the problems of developed countries like Britain and U.S.?Both the geographic divide of living in this hyper prosperous place of Oxford, and seeing this catastrophe in my town, but also being on this rising ladder of fancy education and then off you go, versus all my relatives who invested in manual skills, the skills of steelworkers. And all their skills evaporated. The pride that they took in their work disappeared. Work disappeared. One of my relatives ended up earning a living cleaning toilets. And so, this astonishing divergence in my life—brought me around to realizing that something needed to be done about that. And it wasn't that it was just happening to a few people/. In both Britain and America, those divergences, the spatial divergence between booming metropolises and broken provincial towns and cities. And that divergence between a hyper educators' success with fancy skills on top, versus manual skills that became worthless. That divide became true of our entire societies in America and Britain. And not just America and Britain, but especially America and Britain.How can we have more inclusive economic policies and avoid faulty economic models?We can have mutual respect. It can be a threshold level. Here is the behavior, that is, as long as you're over that threshold of behavior, everybody in the group can respect everybody else. Here is what we're trying to achieve, some common purpose. In order to achieve that common purpose, here's the action we need to do. And those of us who do that action, went over the threshold. We've earned the respect of the community. And being able to do that at grand scale, is at its best what a patriotic society does.What do people in poor areas really need?What people in poor places want is not just consumption. They want the dignity of the opportunities to be productive. And for that, we need to transfer not just money, but the opportunities for productivity. And that is good jobs and skills. That is the agenda that actually levels the country spatially.Time Code Guide:00:01:00 What motivated you to shift the focus of your work to the problems of developed countries like Britain and U.S.?00:05:26 Thoughts on the gap between the urban elite and rural residents00:07:24 Is the breakdown of national identity driving the underinvestment in public goods that we see in our countries?00:09:47 How the Danes saved the country from being hit dramatically by Covid-1900:12:05 Do you think people's attitudes towards Covid-19 were really more about signaling self-expression than concerned for the public good?00:15:01 Why and how is it that economists are often blamed for leading us into this impasse where we need to argue for more inclusive economics?00:20:00 How come the Marxist model that aims to be positive have had negative effect on the people?00:28:11 ICI, how their mission shifted from being about chemicals to shareholder gains00:30:05 How the monitored incentive structure changed the way we work00:32:23 Why can't ethnicity be a foundation for building a community with mutual obligations and sense of belongingness?00:36:33 John Rawls and his views on human rights and individual rights00:40:33 The common purpose that most Britons agree on: drastically narrowing down the differences of opportunities in the society00:43:04 How can the system create more opportunities and better access in the rural areas?00:46:23 How can you utilize the insights that you've learned from the failures of development policy to design a workable policy for these poor areas within our developed economy?00:52:10 Lessons learned from PittsburghShow Links:Guest ProfilePaul Collier on LinkedInAcademic Profile on University of Oxford, Blavatnik School of GovernmentHis WorkPaul Collier's Ted Talk Paul Collier's Write-ups on the International Growth CenterPaul Collier Articles on The GuardianGreed Is DeadThe Future of Capitalism: Facing the New AnxietiesExodus: How Migration is Changing Our WorldThe Plundered Planet: Why We Must--and How We Can--Manage Nature for Global ProsperityWars, Guns, and Votes: Democracy in Dangerous PlacesThe Bottom Billion: Why the Poorest Countries are Failing and What Can Be Done About ItLiving Down the Past: How Europe Can Help Africa Grow (Studies in Trade and Development)Labor and Poverty in Rural Tanzania: Ujamaa and Rural Development in the United Republic of Tanzania

Armed groups in the Central African Republic (CAR) have raped men and boys for years in an emerging pattern of sexual violence that is underreported and largely ignored. 2 out of 5 male South African pupils say they have been raped, according to a study suggesting sexual abuse of boys is endemic in the country's schools. The survey, published in BioMed Central's International Journal for Equity in Health, showed that boys were most frequently assaulted by adult women, followed closely by other schoolchildren. Doctors estimate that nearly 1 in 4 men in eastern DRC has been raped. Rape and other forms of sexual coercion directed against men and boys take place in a variety of settings, including in the home, the workplace, schools, on the streets, in the military and during war, as well as in prisons and police custody. Studies conducted mostly in developed countries indicate that 5-10% of men report a history of childhood sexual abuse. In a few population-based studies conducted with adolescents in developing countries, the percentage of males reporting ever having been the victim of a sexual assault ranges from 3.6% in Namibia and 13.4% in the United Republic of Tanzania to 20% in Peru. Studies from both industrialized and developing countries also reveal that forced first intercourse is not rare. Unfortunately, there are few reliable statistics on the number of boys and men raped in settings such as schools, prisons and refugee camps. Most experts believe that official statistics vastly under-represent the number of male rape victims. The evidence available suggests that males may be even less likely than female victims to report an assault to the authorities. There are a variety of reasons why male rape is underreported, including shame, guilt and fear of not being believed or of being denounced for what has occurred. Myths and strong prejudices surrounding male sexuality also prevent men from coming forward. Kenya High Court Judge, Ruth Sitati, has authored a book compiling real life experiences of children who were raped and their cases heard in court. I shared my rape story and read one of a 6 year old boy raped at home on an unsuspecting evening by an unsuspecting man. Check out www.thepredators.co.ke to order this compelling copy.

On the 22nd December 2020 we are exploring the United Republic of Tanzania (in Swahili: Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania), a country in East Africa within the African Great Lakes region. Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, is in the northeastern part of Tanzania as well. Three of Africa's Great Lakes are partly within this country. Over 100 different languages are spoken here, making it the most linguistically diverse country in East Africa. The trend is established by those individuals who are interested in the revival of cultural and human values in the community – the ordinary citizens who constitute the majority of a civil society. Tanzania is not an exception and the good thing, there are a lot of possibilities for this to happen in this country.

His inputs expressed the similarities and differences that both Tanzanian and Sweden Men poses when it comes to dealing with the victimized gender. The solutions that are being implemented, what works and what doesn't work. How can Men challenge themselves when it comes to allowing these conversations? Is early-age integration of inclusive conversations helpful or will this create a mindset imbalance? Differences in biological factors, responsibilities and mindsets, toppled with growing-up cultures. Where does empathy play it's part in these differences? What and how can the Tanzanian system and culture adopt and relate from the Sweden Culture, policies and reforms? Resources, rights and representation. Lastly, the most important question is addressed, “Why would Men Care to reform the deeming culture that benefits them?”

Landscape of Migration: Mobility and Environmental Change on Bolivia's Tropical Frontier, 1952 to the Present (UNC Press, 2020), traces the entwined histories of Andean, Mennonite, and Okinawan migrants to Amazonian Bolivia during the twentieth century, exploring how each of these communities forged and contested the landscape of agrarian citizenship in the country. The lowlands around Santa Cruz became a focal point for high modernist development projects in Bolivia, and as Ben Nobbs-Thiessen argues, such a vision of development was appealing to a broad range of actors: both the left(ish) Revolutionary Nationalist Movement, in power from 1952-1964, as well as the (often) right wing military governments that succeeded it, were deeply concerned with developing Bolivia through colonization of of the lowlands. Starting in the 1970s, however, as the state started to pull back from the day to day operations of such projects, it opened up space for NGOs and what Nobbs-Thiessen calls, "faith-based development practitioners," many of whom were connected to settler projects. Nobbs-Thiessen shows how each of these different communities came together after World War II, and each, for a time, came to play an important role in the development of Santa Cruz and the lowlands as a regional powerhouse in Bolivia and the Amazon region. By situating Andean migrants and development practitioners alongside other subnational migratory communities, Nobbs-Thiessen offers an exciting contribution to Latin American Studies, Migration History, and Environmental History. Nobbs-Thiessen's wide-ranging work is attuned to the dynamics of both settler colonialism and internal colonialism as forms of migration, and contributes to a body of literature that refuses to provincialize Bolivian history. Several chapters would work well as standalone, teachable articles: The book begins with a chapter exploring the imagined frontier, through pamphlets and films and ends with the growth of the Mennonite-dominated soy industry in the transborder Amazonian region some have called the United Republic of Soybeans. Nobbs-Thiessen's Landscape of Migration offers important background for both the devastating wildfires of 2019 and the Santa Cruz-led uprising that overthrew president Evo Morales in the months that followed. Ben Nobbs-Thiessen is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Winnipeg. Elena McGrath is an Assistant Professor of History at Union College in Schenectady, NY.

The lowlands around Santa Cruz became a focal point for high modernist development projects in Bolivia, and as Ben Nobbs-Thiessen argues, such a vision of development was appealing to a broad range of actors: both the left(ish) Revolutionary Nationalist Movement, in power from 1952-1964, as well as the (often) right wing military governments that succeeded it, were deeply concerned with developing Bolivia through colonization of of the lowlands. Starting in the 1970s, however, as the state started to pull back from the day to day operations of such projects, it opened up space for NGOs and what Nobbs-Thiessen calls, "faith-based development practitioners," many of whom were connected to settler projects. Nobbs-Thiessen shows how each of these different communities came together after World War II, and each, for a time, came to play an important role in the development of Santa Cruz and the lowlands as a regional powerhouse in Bolivia and the Amazon region. By situating Andean migrants and development practitioners alongside other subnational migratory communities, Nobbs-Thiessen offers an exciting contribution to Latin American Studies, Migration History, and Environmental History. Nobbs-Thiessen’s wide-ranging work is attuned to the dynamics of both settler colonialism and internal colonialism as forms of migration, and contributes to a body of literature that refuses to provincialize Bolivian history. Several chapters would work well as standalone, teachable articles: The book begins with a chapter exploring the imagined frontier, through pamphlets and films and ends with the growth of the Mennonite-dominated soy industry in the transborder Amazonian region some have called the United Republic of Soybeans. Nobbs-Thiessen’s Landscape of Migration offers important background for both the devastating wildfires of 2019 and the Santa Cruz-led uprising that overthrew president Evo Morales in the months that followed.

Tanzania, the United Republic of (URT, is the East African country that has a very significant history along the coast of the region. The URT, represent the union of two countries with the same historical background, Tanzanian Mainland, the former Tanganyika and the Achipelago Islands of Unguja and Pemba (Zanzibar). At the time of independence, both Tanganyika and Zanzibar were under the British colonial supremacy headed by the Queen as the Head of Commonwealth states. Tanganyika under the late, Pres. Mwl. Julias Kambarage Nyerere of TANU received independence earlier than any East African country. Zanzibar, received her independence in December 1963, the new government was under the Al-Busaidy Sultan, Jamshid bin Abdallah bin Al-Saidi and his Prime Minoster Mohammed Shamte. In January 12, 1964 the Busaidy sultanate was overthrown by a revolutionary leader, Ugandan, John Okello, Field Marshall. Then, Afro-Shiraz Party led by Sheikh Abedi Aman Karume was advantageous for majority rule in the Islands. Thus, with significant historical background and reasons the two, Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged in April 26, 1964 to form the URT. The first President was Mwl Julias Kambarage Nyerere and his first Vice Preaident, Sheikh Abedi Amani Karume, at the same was the President of a Revolutionary Givernment of Zanzibar (SMZ). Thereafter, some constitutional changes had been considerably made since 1977 to 1977 for political and socio-econimic development. These can be seen briefly as indicated below for preliminary knowledge and discussio. Furthere more, from 1977 to 1992 some constitutional amendments have been made ending with re-introducing multiparty emocratic system of government. This can be briefly mentioned in part of the question i.e. 9(b).

What if the source of this polarization in our country had little to do with where people actually fall on the issues, or what people actually believe in? The Intercept’s Zaid Jilani joins the pod to unpack a new study that identifies how a team-sports mentality in America is wedging more of us against each other, rather than a division on ideas or policies. Mapping the evolution and rise of tribal sports in politics, Jilani highlights how our politics exploit this distinction between team & topic, and what that means for the day to day governance in our democracy. According to The Intercept, “Zaid Jilani is a journalist who hails from Atlanta, Georgia. He has previously worked as a reporter-blogger for ThinkProgress, United Republic, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, and Alternet. He graduated from the University of Georgia in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts in international affairs and received his master’s in public administration from Syracuse University in 2014.” _________________________________________________________There’s a lot going on in America (and the world) and Vikrum Aiyer — Former White House Senior Economic Policy Advisor (Obama Administration) and Former Chief of Staff of the United States Patent and Trademark Office — has something to say about it all and about what it takes these days to be American enough. “American Enough™ with Vikrum Aiyer”, is a weekly, town hall-style podcast discussing your questions and comments about current events, politics, and American ideals.

Daniel Blewitt is a graduate of Melbourne University and La Trobe University, with a Bachelor in Political Science and Postgraduate Diplomas in Economics and Financial Management. After going through University, it became clear that the solution to many of humanities problems lay in the nation state system we used. As a small species, bound to one rock among trillions upon trillions, it was frustrating to see us bickering over so little, and Daniel felt the need to change something. Starting with the United Republic of Humankind in 2014, he started trying to do the impossible and build a movement to unify humanity into a single republic. For a time organising an array of social media profiles operated by passionate followers in 5 different languages, building support for the URH. Through a variety of initiatives, crowdfunds, acting as the Outreach Director for the Australian Progressives and trying to push the concept of unification, he's now working with the World Federalist Movement to try and finally reform the institution that stands at the heart of the movement. As a professional salesperson, he understands what needs to be done in order to turn global unification into the popular cause it could be. He also hosts a podcast called 'After This: A Unification Podcast' dedicated to the cause of human political unification and its necessity.
