Les éléphants d'Afrique s'appellent les uns les autres et répondent à des noms individuels, ce que peu d'animaux sauvages font, selon de nouvelles recherches publiées lundi dans la revue Nature Ecology and Evolution. Les noms font partie des grondements graves que les éléphants peuvent entendre sur de longues distances dans la savane. Les scientifiques pensent que les animaux ayant des structures sociales complexes et des groupes familiaux qui se séparent puis se réunissent souvent sont plus susceptibles d'utiliser des noms individuels. Si vous vous occupez d'une famille nombreuse, vous devez ...

African elephants call each other and respond to individual names - something that few wild animals do, according to new research published on Monday in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution. The names are one part of elephants' low rumbles that they can hear over long distances across the savanna. Scientists believe that animals with complex social structures and family groups that separate and then reunite often may be more likely to use individual names. “If you’re looking after a large family, you’ve got to be able to say, ‘Hey, Virginia, get over here!’” says Duke University ecologist ...

By Rose TROUP BUCHANAN Nairobi (AFP) - "En garde, prêt, allez": sur une route boueuse d'un bidonville de la capitale kényane Nairobi, Mburu Wanyoike lance ses commandements à une troupe d'adolescents en tenue blanche et masques d'escrimeurs. Chaque semaine, il entraîne des dizaines de jeunes avec l'espoir que, comme pour lui, ce sport les détourne de la misère et de la criminalité qui les guettent à Mathare, quartier pauvre de plusieurs centaines de milliers d'habitants. Mburu Wanyoike, 27 ans, y est né et y a grandi. Il y a encore dix ans, "j'étais dans le crime, j'étais un gangster", déclare...

Nairobi (AFP) - Kenyan police will deploy to quell gang violence in Haiti probably within weeks, the east African country's President William Ruto said on Sunday, despite court challenges that delayed the mission. Kenya is aiming to lead a UN-backed mission to secure the Caribbean nation, stricken by violence, poverty and political instability. The east African nation is scheduled to send 1,000 officers for the mission alongside personnel from several other countries. "The people of Haiti are maybe waiting, by the grace of God, that probably by next week or the other week, we shall send our po...

By Cat BARTON Séoul (AFP) - L'Afrique peut aider à "décarboner" l'économie mondiale si les pays développés investissent sérieusement pour "libérer" son "potentiel" en la matière, a affirmé mercredi le président kényan William Ruto dans un entretien à l'AFP.

Nairobi (AFP) - Kenyan President William Ruto voiced confidence Friday that a UN-backed mission tasked with quelling gang-fuelled anarchy in Haiti would go ahead. Kenya has offered to send about 1,000 police as the head of a multinational force for the troubled Caribbean nation, with the deployment expected in a matter of weeks. There had been speculation a first contingent would arrive last week to coincide with Ruto's state visit to Washington, but instead an advance team was sent to carry out reconnaissance work. "In light of Kenya's lead role in the UN Security Council mandated Multination...

Digital illustration by Giovana Fleck, for Global Voices. When was the first time you interacted with different cultures beyond your geographical location? My first time was when, as a child, I was introduced to Peter and Jane through the Ladybird books. This transitioned to the Goosebumps and Sweet Valley High series, meeting the likes of Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield as they navigated the dynamics of teenage life in the US. Later, in school, Chinua Achebe would broaden my view of Africa with things falling apart for Okonkwo in Igboland, and acquaint me with the existence of pidgin. I have ...

Port-au-Prince (AFP) - Etranglée par les gangs, Haïti attend toujours l'arrivée d'un premier contingent de la force multinationale menée par le Kenya, qui était espéré cette semaine mais repoussé. Le meurtre annoncé vendredi de trois personnes dont deux missionnaires américains, dans une attaque de bandes armées, a ravivé les appels à un déploiement rapide. "La situation sécuritaire en Haïti ne peut pas attendre", a affirmé un porte-parole de l'exécutif américain. La mission soutenue par l'ONU et dans laquelle les Etats-Unis sont très impliqués sur le plan logistique - sans toutefois fournir d...

Washington (AFP) - A diplomatic upgrade and a surprise appearance by Barack Obama: US President Joe Biden pulled out the stops as he hosted Kenyan counterpart William Ruto for a lavish state visit aimed at competing with Russia and China for influence in Africa. At a gala dinner in a large pavilion set up on the White House lawn, Biden praised "the belief in freedom, democracy, dignity and equality" that he shared with Ruto, the first African leader to receive a Washington state visit in 15 years. Biden matched pomp with a string of deals on security, climate and debt -- and delivered an Irish...
