Burkina Faso Suspends Beauty Pageants! A Return to African Values or a Step Too Far?
United States of AfricaBurkina Faso has taken a bold step by suspending all beauty pageants across the country while authorities review their format and cultural impact.Supporters of the decision argue that beauty contests have become heavily influenced by Western standards and no longer reflect African values, identity, and traditions. Others believe such competitions can provide opportunities for women to showcase leadership, talent, education, and community service.In this report, we explore the reasons behind Burkina Faso's decision, the debate surrounding beauty pageants in Africa, and what this could mean for the future of cultural events across the continent.Should African nations redefine beauty according to their own values and traditions?

#jamaica #accompongmaroonfestival #maroonhistory #jamaicanmaroons #jamaicahistory today, we carry you inside the celebrations of the 288th staging of the Accompong Maroon Festival, held in the historic Maroon community of Accompong— a place where history, culture, and resistance continue to live side by side.

Celebrated every year on January 6th, the Accompong Maroon Festival commemorates the historic Peace Treaty signed in the 18th century between the Maroons and the British, following years of sustained resistance in Jamaica’s interior. It was a defining moment when Maroon ancestors forced the British to recognise them, marking a powerful chapter in Jamaica’s struggle for freedom.

Today, Maroon Fest is more than a commemoration — it is a living classroom. Through traditional drumming, the sounding of the abeng, ritual, storytelling, and communal gathering, the festival preserves a heritage rooted in survival, resilience, and identity. Each element carries forward the memory of a people who refused to disappear.

As Jamaica continues to move forward, the legacy of the Maroons invites reflection on unity in the present day. While history has not always been smooth, moments like these remind us of the importance of dialogue, understanding, and shared purpose. The warrior spirit that once defended these hills now carries a wider meaning — helping to safeguard culture, identity, and national cohesion.

Whether you are discovering Maroon history for the first time or reconnecting with ancestral roots, this story remains timeless. It speaks to recognition, resilience, and the ongoing journey of a people whose past continues to shape Jamaica’s future.

One people. One nation. One Jamaica.

Arriving after Astatke’s life-changing years studying at Berklee College in Boston, the albums were the rest experiments in his pioneering sound, fusing Ethiopian cultural music with Afro Latin and jazz forms. “I have always felt a deep connection between Latin and African music,” he explains. “I travelled to Cuba and listened to their musicians; the tempo, rhythm and feeling was very similar to different African forms. In the mid-‘60s, I formed a band called The Ethiopian Quintet in New York comprising Ethiopian, Latin and Afro-American musicians – the band included trumpeter and pianist Rudy Houston who later played with Yambu and Felix Torres who played with La Sonora Poncena.”

Supported by Worthy Records’ Gil Snapper who offered to record the quintet, Astatke began to experiment during two separate sessions: “We created a different feel and different arrangements. On the rst recording, I played an adaptation of an ancient Ethiopian warrior song, ‘I Faram Gami I Faram’ – the lyrics were translated so that the singer could sing it in Spanish. Some compositions were important steps for me: ‘Mascaram Setaba’ (‘Summer Is Coming’) ‘Shagu’ and ‘Almaz’. With the second album, a personal favourite is ‘Girl From Addis Ababa’ which worked very nicely as a fusion of Ethiopian modes and R&B rhythms.”

Astatke would start to perfect his Ethio jazz sound on his later album for Worthy in 1972, ‘Mulatu Of Ethiopia’ but the two volumes of ‘Afro Latin Soul’ stand as important recordings documenting his early career. “It was a very interesting time to be in New York during the mid-‘60s. I was there at the same time as Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makeba and Fela Kuti and we each tried to play our part in putting Africa on the map of contemporary jazz.”

Kambale Musavuli from the Center for Research on the Congo breaks down the escalating conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo between the Rwandan backed- M23 rebel group and the Congolese army (FARDC). Musavuli explains how proxy forces including Rwanda, which he calls “the Israel of Africa,” is waging a devastating war over the DR Congo’s vast mineral wealth: “The US cannot compete in AI without having access to raw materials and Rwanda are the proxy mercenaries for the West’s interests.”

President John Mahama has called Ghana a "crime scene" following shocking revelations about mismanagement of funds by the previous administration and $21.1B in stolen state assets. Here is the story behind it and how comedian Michael Blackson got entangled in it. As ORAL embarks on the hunt for the stolen assets, I will continue to bring you updates on this story!

Slave codes were a method of protecting the investment of white enslavers in the Colonies by restricting the lives of enslaved people in almost every imaginable way. The codes restricted enslaved people’s ability to move around, or engage in commerce that could make them financially independent - they restricted the very opportunities that would allow them to live with even relative freedom. Today, we'll learn about how Colonies put laws in place to restrict the movement and freedoms of both enslaved people and free Black people alike.
