Soul Beat Africa
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Euro 2016: France needs tournament to repair nation - Marcel Desailly

0 comments

Protests broke out over labour law reforms in May, while 130 people were killed in attacks on Paris in November.

Desailly, 47, said there should be no fears over security, adding that his "own kids are going to the fanzone".

"We need football. We need football to be there for us to enjoy and to have hope," he told BBC Sport.

"France is going through a little bit of trouble. I'm sure it's going to be secure. The information I have, people will be protected."
