The last part of this podcast (transcribed) is an important read on the situation in #Sahel (Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger) #Sudan #SouthSudan etc.
"So, if we take a step back, what we see is not a simple story of anti-imperialist military governments rising against Western domination. Instead, we see a complex, multipolar competition for control over Africa’s resources, with military elites, corporate interests, and foreign states all deeply entangled in the struggle."
South Sudan, the world's newest country, has been battered by war, famine, and floods. Disability rights are particularly ignored, but residents and humanitarian organizations are not giving up.

A dispatch from central Jonglei State, on the banks of the White Nile, by our Editor-at-Large Kang-Chun Cheng:
https://www.thexylom.com/post/as-south-sudan-floods-tragedies-of-disabled-peoples-come-to-surface
"In #SouthSudan's Eastern Equatoria state, the worsening #climate crisis has brought erratic rainfall, extended droughts, and #ExtremeEeather events, significantly affecting food security across the region.
These shocks, along with an invasion of birds, have disrupted agricultural activities, reduced crop yields, and intensified food shortages, leaving communities vulnerable to hunger and malnutrition."
NEW: Sandwiched between South Sudan, Kenya, and Ethiopia, the Ilemi Triangle is 11,000 square kilometers of disputed, neglected, and seemingly barren land.
Infighting among pastoralists for dwindling resources is driving up gun violence. Does climate-smart agriculture provide stability or bondage?
