⁣Conflict has been simmering in eastern Congo since the mid-1990s in the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide, exploding into two wars that left millions of people dead. The fighting, which intensified in late 2021 and involved dozens of armed groups, long-running ethnic tensions and at least five national armies, has now reached a peak not seen in at least a decade. African Stream is hosting two guests; Kambale Musavuli from the Center for Research on the Congo-Kinshasa and Claude Gatebuke, a Rwandan genocide survivor and human rights activist to discuss the long-standing crisis.

⁣Dr Khanyisile Litchfield-Tshabalala talks to Ntsiki about the history of colonisation and how it led to the bastardisation of African culture. She also discusses looking at things from the African perspective, including African spirituality and ancestors.

⁣GET M’BWEBE ISHANGI’S 3rd BOOK ABOUT NYC’s AFRIKAN BURIAL GROUND!

"Of all our studies history is best qualified to reward our research. And when you see that you've got problems all you have to do is examine the historic method used all over the world by others who have problems similar to yours. And once you see how they got theirs straight then you know how you can get yours straight.”
— Malcolm X

M’Bwebe Ishangi’s 3rd book, 'Urban Unrest: Afrikan Burial Ground - Remnants of Slavery in New York’ speaks on the ‘His'-story that's had a hold on having people think slavery in the United States existed only below the Mason Dixie line.

An even greater deception is white America's attempt to conceal their role in the cover-up of Afrikan free labor in both the building and maintenance of the worlds financial mecca and most popular city, New York.

This 59-page book is an easy read for all POADUS (People of Afrikan Descent in the United States) as it exposes the colonial blueprint to the systemic design of ethnic depravity that still regulates our way of living.

Ishangi uncovers the etymological naming of streets, buildings, and cities, emphasizing this need of naming continues to fuel white America’s grip of the fictitious idea of global white supremacy—when it actually is dependency—meaning, they cannot continue to rule of we discontinue our ignorance of how they did it.

A majestic journey through Japan, Korea, and the United States that turns our perceptions of food (and life) upside down in a simple and poetic way. Solutions for our most pressing social and ecological issues come from unexpected places in a bite-sized film that New York Times bestselling author Alicia Bay Laurel calls “beautiful … both art and documentary.”Inspired by the work and philosophy of Masanobu Fukuoka, artist Patrick M. Lydon (USA) and editor Suhee Kang (South Korea) spend four years meeting and studying with multiple generations of modern day natural farmers. The result is a film that weaves breathtaking landscapes and an eclectic original soundtrack together with stories and insights from an inspiring cast of natural farmers, chefs, and teachers. The film gives modern-day relevance to age-old ideas about more sustainable, regenerative, and harmonious ways of living with the earth.Current-day leaders in the natural farming movement featured in the film include Yoshikazu Kawaguchi (Japan), Seonghyun Choi (Korea), Larry Korn (United States), and a dozen others. Their stories illuminate a brilliant-yet-maddeningly-simple path to sustainability and well being, one popularized by the late Masanobu Fukuoka, author of the seminal environmental text “One Straw Revolution.”Far-reaching in its application, “Food, Earth, Happiness” offers philosophical seeds to grow solutions for social and environmental justice.–Note: Officially released on January 1, 2019, this film is an abbreviated version of the acclaimed environmental documentary Final Straw: Food, Earth, Happiness (74 min / 2015). It has been edited by the directors for public and classroom use.–CREDITS– directed, filmed, and produced by – Patrick M.

The JGC History series features specifically curated playlists to help trace the lineage of some of the most influential jazz compositions of all time.

Some notes about the composition from the JGC Real Book,

Composer: Dizzy Gillespie

Year: 1942

Origin: Introduced by Sarah Vaughan in 1944 as "Interlude".

Style: A combination of straight and swing feels, typically played at brighter tempos.

Form: A-A-B-A (32 Bars) [8-8-8-8]
The A sections are played straight with the exception of the final 2 bars, while the B section is swung. This arrangement commonly used for the head only with the solo section entirely swung.

Intro: The bassline that moves from bII7 - Imi6 is usually used to begin the performance, and there is also a counter-melody that goes along with it.

Send-off: After the head in a 12 bar send-off is used to lead into the solos. This is then followed by a solo break which is commonly 4 bars long. It is typically only used the first time around, although it is sometimes used to introduce every new soloist. This section is played entirely swung.

Shout Chorus: After all the melodic soloists are finished a shout chorus is sometimes included. The shout played during the A sections while the B section is left open to the drummer. Sonny rollins offers a concise interpretation of this arrangement on his recording from A Night at the Village Vanguard.

Key: D minor

Harmony/Overview: The harmony of this composition is mainly functional. The main theme revolves around the constant arrival of bII7 - Imi, which is essentially V7alt - Imi (tri-tone substitution). The bridge is identical to that of "Alone Together", taking place in the relative Major and moving from II - V of II before a II - V - I.

Recordings: This song has been recorded over 400 times to date and is a widely popular standard. The first recording comes from Sarah Vaughan in 1944 and was originally entitled "Interlude", featuring lyrics written by Sarah Vaughan and Anita O'Day. One of the earliest instrumental recordings of Dizzy Gillespie performing the piece comes a 1945 session with Boyd Raeburn and his Orchestra. Dizzy would later record and perform this piece many times throughout his career, leaving several particularly legendary recordings behind.

JGC Top Picks:
Sonny Rollins, A Night at the Village Vanguard, 1957
McCoy Tyner, Today and Tomorrow, 1963
Dave Liebman, Besame Mucho and Other Latin Jazz Standards, 1993

Chocolate: A Taste of Independence in Togo Filmmaker: Fanny BouteillerAfrica is rich with natural resources, yet all too often the benefits of that abundance end up with overseas consumers, foreign investors and the international markets.This is often seen as the consequence of a post-colonial globalised economy, in which the rich somehow keep getting richer and the poorest, denied the full fruits of their labours, are kept in penury.It is also a state of affairs with which many on the continent are understandably deeply unhappy. They want more than the scraps the developed world leaves on the table.In Togo, West Africa, one such struggle now comes covered in chocolate.Over 60 percent of the population of Togo lives in poverty, with its cacao growers - producers of one of the country's main cash crops - helpless in the face of prices set by international buyers.But one man is advocating a new future for his country, through indigenous chocolate production."When we launched the plan of manufacturing chocolate, lots of people did not believe us. Most made fun of us. People said we were mad."Trained in Italy, Komi Agbokou is a chocolatier, activist and, increasingly, an anti-globalisation evangelist.He has recently returned to Togo with one mission: to incite his fellow citizens to turn their cacao into chocolate themselves rather than being forever exploited by the international market.Komi explains that current cacao prices are decided by "those who transform cocoa", forcing local farmers to sell their produce for prices over which they have no control.On a 600km (373-mile) trip from North to South Togo, Komi set out to change attitudes, teaching his countrymen to maximise their produce's worth for their own benefit.--- Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe - Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish - Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera - Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/

This video explains the history of Malcolm X's Yoruba ancestors and how they were transported to Grenada as liberated Africans from a condemned slave ship that was most likely on its way to Cuba. After condemnation the Africans were confiscated and employed as indentured labor on plantations. Malcolm X's great-grand parents were products of this history.

Queen Njinga Ana de Sousa Mbande (also spelled Nzinga, Nzingha, Ginga, and probably some other ways) was a 17th century ruler of the Kingdoms of Ndongo and Matamba, in what is now Angola. Fighting on the battlefield alongside her troops, and adapting to a variety of lifestyles from Mbundu to Imbangala to Christian, she displayed constant resilience in the face of Portuguese colonialism in West Central Africa, and earned herself a reputation as an Amazonian queen and the most formidable opponent the Portuguese had ever faced in Africa. This is her story.I apologize to any Kimbundu speakers who watch this video for my inevitable butchering of your language. If you'd like to help correct my pronunciation in any future videos I make on Njinga or Ndongo, please hit me up!No generative AI was used in any part of the creation of this video.This video is part of Untold Black History II, a collaboration of YouTubers talking about uplifting Black history from around the world.

The symbol behind it is an Nsibidi symbol from the region of what is now southeastern Nigeria, and represents wealth, or in this case a wealth of knowledge. The colors of the symbol in the background are based on the common Pan-African tricolor flag, red, black, and green, while the Sankofa symbol is yellow to represent an alternative set of Pan-Africanist colors that includes yellow instead of black, based on the Ethiopian flag. All four of these colors are commonly used in Pan-Africanist flags and designs.Happy Black History Month y'all :DFootnotes:1. Heywood 2017, 57-60; Thornton and Lee 2011, 1832.

In a move that has stunned the diplomatic world, Namibia's first female president has just done what no other African leader dared to do – impose visa restrictions on American citizens in direct response to Trump's sweeping travel ban on 22 African nations.
But this isn't just about visas...
In this explosive investigation, I reveal:

The shocking hypocrisy behind Trump's "security concerns" (the stats will leave you speechless)
Why Americans are statistically SAFER in Lagos than in Chicago
How Namibia's 35-year democracy just outpaced America's 250-year experiment
The high-stakes economic gamble that has global elites scrambling
Why this diplomatic chess move might forever change US-Africa relations

As a geopolitical analyst with over two decades of experience, I'm taking you beyond the headlines into the hidden power dynamics that mainstream media won't touch.
This isn't just analysis – it's a wake-up call about how global power is shifting right before our eyes.
