Dr. Ọbádélé Kambon and Abibifahodie Asako ‘Afrikan Liberation Capoeira’ specialize in the re-africanization of Capoeira, a combat science that was developed in Angola but has since been divorced from this source, taking on a new portuguese identity. On this episode of Short Wave, we spend time with Dr. Ọbádélé Kambon, a Research Fellow at the Institute of African Studies (IAS), University of Ghana who spends his time teach the science of Capoeira, both as a potent form of self-defense and a fitness activity. He shares with us the history of African Combat sciences across the continent and how they are prioritize motion and rhythm in engineering moves and stances to defeat enemies. We also learn about the reception of Capoeira in Ghana today and how he and Abibifahodie Asako ‘Afrikan Liberation Capoeira are encouraging the practice of the science especially among young kids.

#africanews #ibrahimtraoré #burkinafaso this is not just another tech update. It is a revolution.
The African Union has officially launched the Continental Internet Exchange—a complete digital infrastructure that bypasses Western control. For the first time, 1.4 billion Africans are connected through their own fiber cables, data centers, and a brand-new protocol that Google cannot dominate.

What does this mean?

📌 Faster, cheaper, more reliable internet for African citizens.
📌 $50 billion kept inside Africa instead of flowing to Silicon Valley.
📌 A direct challenge to Google, Microsoft, and Amazon’s monopoly.
📌 The rise of true digital sovereignty in the 21st century.

President Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso has long spoken about independence in gold, agriculture, and energy. Now, Africa is reclaiming its digital future as well. Could this be the beginning of the post-Google era?

👉 Do you believe that Africa’s model will spread to South America, Asia, and beyond?
👉 Can the United States and Silicon Valley adapt, or will they resist?

If you feel that you are among the first to witness this turning point in history, please share this video.

⁣Hausa architecture of Northern Nigeria and Niger Republic
// Architecture haoussa du Niger et du Nord du Nigeria.


ENGLISH (French below/Français plus bas):

Hausa architecture is a distinct sub-style among the different Sudano-Sahelian architectural styles found throughout the Sahel-geographic band of Africa. It is mostly prevalent in the Hausaland region (North Western Nigeria and Southern Niger Republic) inhabited by the Hausawa people, but the previous popularity of Hausa architects brought it to Northern Niger and Cameroon. The one or two storey buildings are made with dry mud bricks. They are characterized by the extensive use of parapets, the stucco detail used for decoration on the facades, and the Hausa vault.
Different types of urban houses, royal palaces and mosques can be seen in this video,

FRANÇAIS :


L’architecture haoussa est une branche distincte de l’architecture Soudano-sahélienne du Sahel africain. On la retrouve principalement dans la région du Pays Haoussa (Nord-ouest du Nigeria et Sud de la République du Niger), habitée par le peuple Hausawa ou Haoussa, mais la popularité ancienne des architectes haoussas l’a amenée jusqu’au Nord du Niger ou du Cameroun. Les bâtiments, d’un ou deux étages, sont construits avec des briques en terre séchée. Ils sont caractérisés par l’usage récurrent de parapets, de détails en stuc pour la décoration des façades, ainsi que de la voûte haoussa. Divers exemples de maisons citadines, palais royaux et mosquées sont présentés dans cette vidéo.
