HOGON: The Last Kings Of Mali: The Fascinating History Of Africa's Remaining Monarchs Kwabena Ofori Osei 47 Views • 1 year ago

Kings and queens continue to play an important role in modern-day Africa. Charged with preserving their society's cultures, they remain figureheads for many of Africa's 1.3 billion inhabitants. In this series, the Austrian art historian and photographer Alfred Weidinger journeys to Africa to explore the ancient customs of the African kingdoms. The three-part documentary introduces the viewer to a spectacular unknown world, a world that may soon become a thing of the past. In this episode, the team attends what may be the last-ever coronation of a Hogon, a spiritual leader, in Mali.

Akon: 'America was never built for Black People' | Talk to Al Jazeera [4 Jan 2015]
Akon: 'America was never built for Black People' | Talk to Al Jazeera [4 Jan 2015] Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 33 Views • 5 years ago

Senegalese-American artist Akon is a five-time Grammy nominee who has sold over 35 million records worldwide and has collaborated with some of the biggest names in popular music, such as Michael Jackson, Snoop Dogg, Lady Gaga and David Guetta.

The musician, songwriter, and producer, who was born in the US but spent much of his childhood in Senegal, is also an activist and a philanthropist - and he has turned his sights on helping Africa.

How many African-Americans do you know actually consider Africa as a vacation spot? Not one... Even just for knowledge, just to know where they came from, just to get an idea of what that is; there is so much fear instilled in them that they wouldn't even want to go there to visit. You mention Africa, they start shaking.

Akon

His current ambitious project, "Akon Lighting Africa," is working to bring solar-powered electricity to Africans in 49 countries by the end of 2020.

Akon is also an ambassador for the non-profit organisation Peace One Day. Last year, he and actor Jude Law brought their celebrity power to Goma to a concert to promote peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

But Akon has also caused controversy through his performance style and his lyrics.

Akon talks to Al Jazeera about running his musical career as a business; his projects - both philanthropic and artistic; singing songs for peace and whether he thinks it can really make an impact; and being an African in the US.

Japanese teardowns of Chinese electric vehicles by BYD and Nio stun car parts executives in Nagoya
Japanese teardowns of Chinese electric vehicles by BYD and Nio stun car parts executives in Nagoya Kwabena Ofori Osei 35 Views • 2 years ago

An exhibition in central Japan showcases tens of thousands of parts, stripped from the world's top-selling models. Japanese car parts manufacturers were stunned at the advances of Chinese brands BYD and Nio.

Chinese carmakers hold costs down through engineering advances in parts assembly, and with a far higher degree of vertical integration of production. Chinese companies integrate multiple components into one part, and then standardize those integrated parts across multiple car models. This results in far fewer parts per car, faster manufacturing time, and lower vehicle weight.

Industry insiders are increasingly critical of top executives in the US, Europe, and Japan who have been blindsided by Chinese ascent and near-domination of the global car industry. Consultants and engineering experts in China have reported for years on Chinese monopolies of supply chains, engineering breakthroughs, and product quality. Yet the CEO's and top officers of legacy car brands were seemingly unaware of key developments that were upending their own industry, and which now threaten their survival.
