Captain Ibrahim Traoré stepped off the aircraft, and time in Burkina Faso held its breath. But this wasn’t just about his safe return. This was about what came with him and who came to meet him. The Prime Minister was there, but so was someone else. The Russian Ambassador. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the Burkinabé high command. That’s not protocol. That’s a message. And the message was clear: Russia is not a distant friend anymore. It is now physically present in the political theatre of Burkina Faso.
As the African Diaspora saying goes, "I am because we are, and we are because I am."

Chinese university students contribute over $14 billion a year to the US economy. But Chinese families are increasingly choosing to either study in China, or to other countries.

This shift is deepening the fiscal crises in American higher education, which also suffers from a steep decline in US student populations.

US universities are heavily recruiting students from India and Africa, in the hope to make up for shortfalls in Chinese enrollments. And briefly, this strategy seemed to work. A surge in students from India pushed China into second place, as a leading country of origin for US international students.

But that was short-lived. Indian enrollment in the past year plunged, with 99,000 fewer students. Nigeria also saw double-digit percentage declines in just a one-year period.

A more serious problem, however, exists in the financial commitments of the students' families. Chinese students cluster in the most highly-ranked, and most expensive, US university programs. In comparison, Indian and especially Nigerian students tend to attend far lower-cost programs.

Rkhty Amen speak on the meaning of our world view

⁣Following a wave of coups in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, military regimes have entrenched their rule, established the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), withdrawn from the regional bloc ECOWAS, and dismantled mainly Western-led bilateral and multilateral stabilisation mechanisms. These shifts have caused further disruption to an already unstable region plagued by ever-growing jihadist violence and economic hardship. With multilateralism in retreat, bilateral power dynamics are taking on new roles: Russia, Turkey, Iran and increasingly Qatar and the UAE are vying for diplomatic influence and economic footholds in the region.

The Marimba and music Currulao from the Kmtyu of the Pacific Coast of colombia meets with the ancestral homeland of Senegal and the ancestral Balafon. In our studies, the Kmtyu of the Pacific Coast have theorized the Marimba is a descendant of the Balafon, and was reconstructed in the Choco rainforest when our ancestors were trafficked there. We also have a large ancestry from the ancient Mali empire in our Abibiman genepool, to include Senegambia. ⁣The marimba player is Hugo Candelario, from Guapi, Cauca, and one of the country's best marimba players.
