Women Leaders: Africa All Around
<p>As the world grapples with the ructions of recent global disorder, focus has often turned to the global south and its reactions. Notably, the African continent has become of great interest, not least because of its varied positions on events in Ukraine and the Middle East, alongside the manifest attempts of China, Russia, the US and the EU to garner support and attention.</p><p>Africa is a continent of 54 separate states, with over 18% of the global population — so the mere attempt to speak of it as a whole is flawed. From regions to states, each faces unique challenges. Equally, while some states remain stable over time, others have been prone to descend into disorder. From August 2022 to 2023, there were a staggering seven military coups, largely in the Sahel region, creating a ripple effect of fear and concerns about contagion.</p><br><p>To better understand the continent, the coups and the potentials, Ilana Bet-El hosts a thought-provoking discussion with Comfort Ero, President and CEO at the International Crisis Group, and Nina Wilén, Director of the Africa Program at Egmont, Royal Institute for International Relations. Both women leaders bring extensive experience and fascinating insights to navigate the rhyme and reason of the continent; the eternal problems of governing and governance; the difference between military and constitutional coups and the reasons why citizens of African states have both embraced and rejected them; the role and potential of the African Union with a seat at the G20; and the over-hyped position of Russia in Africa.</p><br><p>This episode was recorded on November 14 2023 and features:</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.solvopartners.com/ilana-bet-el" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ilana Bet-El </a></li><li>Comfort Ero <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/comfort-ero/ " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> & <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/comfort-ero/ " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a></li><li>Nina Wilén <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nina-wilén-95b7a024/?originalSubdomain=be" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> & <a href="https://twitter.com/WilenNina?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Curious to learn more? </strong><a href="https://wiis-brussels.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=13371&preview=true" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Follow the link for more resources from our guests</a>!</p><br><p><strong>Credits</strong></p><p>Music: Free from copyright</p><p>Production: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/florence-ferrando-8ab809a7/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Florence Ferrando</a></p><br><p>This episode is sponsored by the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung European Union!

Women Leaders: Short Cuts #4
<p>Exactly one month after the Hamas attack on Israel, global disorder continues apace. To gain a broad perspective on the cascade of news and events, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ilana-bet-el-5a5bb78/?originalSubdomain=be" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ilana Bet El</a> is joined by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/oksana-antonenko-558883213/?originalSubdomain=uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Oksana Antonenko</a>, Visiting Fellow at the Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies in Florence and long-standing expert and advisor on geopolitics, crisis and risk.</p><br><p>This is a lively discussion covering the latest moves of the US, the big picture on Russia’s posture and interests in the Israel / Hamas confrontation and the broader Middle East as well as its real perspective on Ukraine and the west. Iran and China are part of this perspective, but also have differing interests in the global disorder, while not publicly squabbling appears the main achievement of the EU.</p><br><p>These issues and others bring a new and refreshing perspective on global events, connecting the dots between a multitude of actors with very differing agendas.</p><br><p><em>This episode was recorded on 4 November October 2023.</em></p><br><p><strong>Credits</strong></p><ul><li>Music: Free from copyright</li><li>Production: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/florence-ferrando-8ab809a7/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Florence Ferrando</a></li></ul><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
