This Earth Day, Papuan women are raising their voices to call for your support! The giant Freeport Mine in Timika, continues its destructive operations leading to loss of food and water sources of rural communities. Meanwhile large-scale palm oil plantations bring heavy flooding in Papua’s urban areas.

Here’s a preview of an interview with environmental defenders Irene Fatagur (Papuan Voices) and Adolfina Kuum (Komunitas Peduli Lingkungan).

'Why is Africa, such a rich country in opportunities, so poor?'

‘Africans must come home.’ Because of this quote by ex-president Nyerere (Tanzania), the life of Godfrey Nzamujo (Nigeria) was completely transformed. As a young student, he had come to California, living an easy life with the money of his community and the church. After seeing starving African children on TV, he decided to go home, where he transformed a piece of wasteland into ‘Songhai’ a successful project in Benin that moved Ban Ki-moon to tears!
I met this Dominican friar in Amsterdam together with Dutch entrepreneurs. Africans are called to go home, because ‘the future of Africa lies in its lands, its climate and its agricultural work, which is so poorly appreciated in the continent today.’

‘Afrikanen moeten naar huis terugkeren’. Door deze uitspraak van ex-president Nyerere (Tanzania) veranderde het leven van Godfrey NZAMUJO volledig. Aanvankelijk leidde hij een comfortabel leventje in Californië met het geld dat zijn gemeenschap en de kerk hem voor zijn studies ter beschikking hadden gesteld. Na beelden van ondervoede Afrikaanse kinderen, ging hij naar Afrika terug. Hij transformeerde een stuk braakliggende grond tot de bloeiende onderneming ‘Songhai’ in Benin, een ongelooflijk succesverhaal dat Ban Ki-Moon (secretaris VN) volledig enthousiast maakte voor Afrika.
Ik ontmoette deze dominicaanse friar in Amsterdam samen met Nederlandse agrarische ondernemers. Nzamujo roept Afrikanen op, zoals eens Nyerere deed, om zich in Afrika in te zetten want ‘the future of Africa lies in its lands, its climate and its agricultural work, which is so poorly appreciated in the continent today.’

In this edition, at least 30 jihadists have been killed by #Rwandan forces who were deployed to #Mozambique. Rwanda is just one of several countries that sent troops to the country after a recent uptick in activity by Shabaab Islamist militants. Also, Tunisia has received foreign aid to help battle #Covid-19. This as hospitals are overwhelmed and running out of oxygen. And, France 24 speaks to Christine Amisi, one of Africa's top doctors in the efforts to help rape survivors.

Africa is a continent where borders can get pretty complicated. The main reason for this is the colonial era where European nations divided the continent into spheres of influence by literally drawing the national borders as guided by their interests leaving some countries with peculiar national borders.

That’s why you will find some countries with clearly defined shapes while others not so much. Today we zoom in on some of Africa’s most egregious examples of border weirdness.

This is the story of oil and gas exploration in the Caribbean and the role played by Trinidad and Tobago in the world's quest for "black gold." The oil industry shapes our lives, rules our economies, and influences our political society. Beginning in 1595, the need only grew for locally available pitch in the Caribbean, and Trinidad and Tobago's reputation began to spread around the world.
