The ancient coastal city of Gedi, Kenya—a pre-colonial 11th-century trading hub built by Persian and later Arab settlers—boasted palaces, mosques, and advanced infrastructure before its mysterious 17th-century abandonment. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its ruins face threats from climate change and neglect, mirroring risks to Africa’s few protected sites. UNESCO’s Nairobi conference highlighted armed conflicts (Ukraine, Mali) and disasters (Uganda’s fire) as escalating dangers. Archaeologist George Abungu stressed that heritage preservation must prioritise local values over mere UNESCO listings. Gedi’s caretakers work to safeguard its "mystical beauty," though much of its history remains lost. The site underscores Africa’s underrepresented global heritage amid growing crises.
Al Jazeera’s Catherine Soi reports from the Gedi monument in Kenya's Kilifi County.

the clip for today's MDR is taken from the Twi interview: https://youtu.be/ubTz9NS1kTc?si=6TS-YZJfVFxzviaC. On this channel, you'll find lots of youth-centric interviews, mainly conducted in Ghana's capital Accra. It is, thus, not uncommon to hear a lot of code-mixing, slangs, pidgin, and other youthful expressions in the interviews, which is representative of how young people in the urban centers of Ghana generally speak.

You can watch the Spanish version of this documentary here: https://youtu.be/-5mTYXGTlfkIn southwestern Guinea Bissau there are some islands where a very special people live, the Bissago. What is it that makes them so special? It is not the fact of living in balance and harmony with the spectacular nature that surrounds them, taking from the land or the sea only what they need to survive. Neither is their deep animistic spirituality, which marks their life with rites to acquire the knowledge of their ancestors. What makes them so special is that, in the Bissago society, the woman is the protagonist.Subscribe to the channel: https://goo.gl/5Sp36BFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wocomoThey are the ones who decide how to manage the crops or punish the crimes, they are the priestesses of the temple, those who can communicate with the gods, the forces of nature and the spirits of the deceased. For the Bissago, the woman is feared and respected, since they consider her capable of deciding about life and death. This documentary focuses on the lives of some of the women of Eticoga, the main village on the island of Orango. Through their lives and ways of looking we will know the most outstanding and peculiar aspects of this matriarchal society so different, not only from the Western way of life, but from the rest of Africa and almost all other cultures on the planet.Original title - Queens of OrangoA film by Raúl Bueno Herrera© 2020, Licensed by 3boxmedia#documentary #women #womenempowerment #matriarchy
