- Description
- Tensions involving Iran have again exposed the fragility of global energy markets, with Africa often hit hardest. The crisis is raising fresh questions about the continent’s energy future. Despite vast oil, gas, and renewable resources, hundreds of millions still lack reliable electricity while many countries export crude and import expensive refined fuel. As Africa invests in refining and energy infrastructure, can it build a more secure, self-sufficient system? This week on the program, we examine Africa’s paradox - why the world’s most resource-rich continent remains vulnerable to global energy shocks, and what lessons can be drawn from the latest crisis. #TalkAfrica

- Description
- When we talk about refugee crises, the images that often dominate our screens are those of makeshift shelters, dusty border crossings, and a sense of stagnant desperation.
But in eastern Chad—a region hosting hundreds of thousands of Sudanese refugees a different kind of story is quietly unfolding.
It is a story where the traditional lines between refugees and hosts are beginning to blur.
In a country that ranks among Africa's largest refugee-hosting nations on a per-capita basis, survival is evolving from a daily struggle into a powerful lesson in shared resilience.
CGTN's Peninah Karibe traveled to eastern Chad and brings us this exclusive, intimate look at a frontier where refugees and local communities are rebuilding their lives from the ground up.
