For over two decades, Somalia was at war with itself, a legitimate government was overthrown in 1991, plunging the nation into a deadly civil war. Amid the power vacuum warlords tore apart the Horn of Africa nation, and Somalia’s waters became free-for-all as unlicensed foreign fishing fleets went on an illegal fishing frenzy.

Foreign trawlers have been illegally taking millions of tonnes of Somalia’s fish denying the country millions of dollars in revenue and stirring deep-seated frustrations in local Somalis and eventually morphed into one of the world’s most dangerous maritime security threats that made Somalia's coastline one of the most dangerous in the world.

There is little doubt amongst Somalis that conflicts like these provided the original impetus for what became the piracy phenomenon. In the local setting, illegal fishing, and the economic damage it inflicted, left traditional fishing communities so angered and impoverished that they began attacking the illegal fishing vessels, acting as a sort of militia coast guard.

However, criminal gangs subsequently saw the profit potential and started hijacking more valuable commercial ships unconnected to illegal fishing. Thus the scourge of Somali piracy in the Gulf of Aden was born.

Mine- At 14,000 feet, in the remote jungles of New Guinea is the largest gold and copper deposit in the world. Getting to that deposit and building a profitable mine was one of the biggest engineering challenges ever. In 1975 an American mining company took up the challenge and using the most sophisticated technology available, conquered the jungle and built the Grasberg Mine!

I met Samson Ogbole (who invented SOILLESS FARMING in Nigeria) at the YPard Cafe event I attended with my friend Yomi on Saturday 26th June 2018, he spoke passionately about soil-less farming and showed us video proof of farms he had and still working on. I was inspired by his presentation and the level of work he is doing in the Agric sector in Nigeria, so I decided there and then to interview him.

Samson is the CEO of PS Nutrac and has also set up quite a number of commercial farms across Africa. (All third-party videos were provided by Samson Ogbole)

From one of my favorite jazz albums - Somethin' Else. With any luck, I plan to upload the rest of it soon (minus the first track, stupid 10min video limit). Until then, enjoy!

Sequential hermaphroditism occurs when an organism changes sex at some point in its life. It’s seen in a few species of gastropods and plants, but mostly fish, like napoleon wrasse, clownfish, groupers and marine angelfish. This transformation involves the complete restructuring of their gonads, as well as changes in their morphology and behaviour. For these fish, sex change is a usual part in their life cycle, and it’s one that carries adaptive advantages.

Recording of the virtual launch of AEF's new video, hosted on June 11th 2021.

THE CIA: ON COMPANY BUSINESS

We once again examine that dark, vicious world of the CIA -- the use of U.S.
labor organizations, the overthrow of legitimate governments, providing arms
to favored groups, covert use of the American mass media, U.S. torture
schools and CIA torture supervisors abroad -- all resulting in great human
suffering and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and in the
maintenance of repressive regimes. Sections of the meticulously documented,
award-winning film _On Company Business_ are interspersed with the comments
of ex-CIA officer John Stockwell, and Molly Dougherty who worked on the
film. John also comments about the pending legal action against him by the
CIA, and a fundraiser for his legal defense fund, to be held at the
University of Texas.

⁣Invisible History sheds light on the invisible history of plantations and the enslaved in North Florida. Using visually compelling imagery it explores the history of a people who contributed so much to what the region is today. While this project focuses on northern Florida, it is a microcosm of the idea of how slavery shaped all of America. The project benefited from the expertise of faculty from Florida State University and Florida A&M University, as well as the support of local museums and archival resources. The documentary represents a true coming together of community to support the telling of our shared history.
