Topics
Thomas Small 和 Eamon Dean:本季节目将探讨非洲丰富的伊斯兰历史及其在当今世界地缘政治中的重要性,涵盖从北非伊斯兰化到东非海岸ISIS活动等多个方面。 Eamon Dean:阿拉伯人对非洲的传统认知分为北非和撒哈拉以南非洲,对撒哈拉以南非洲的了解主要来自与埃塞俄比亚的互动,包括贸易和奴隶贸易。伊斯兰教法没有废除奴隶制,而是对其进行规范,包括允许奴隶赎身和保护家庭生活。赞吉起义反映了种族主义和对黑奴的不公正待遇。 Thomas Small:非洲的伊斯兰化是分阶段进行的,如今非洲穆斯林人口众多,对伊斯兰世界至关重要。非洲和阿拉伯世界有着悠久的历史联系,包括早期人类迁徙和跨红海的持续交流。 Eamon Dean:非洲之角地区既有发展潜力,也面临着冲突和恐怖主义的威胁,同时也是多个大国竞争资源的焦点。东非地区近年来出现了一些伊斯兰国活动,这与一些前往叙利亚和西非参加圣战的个人有关。西非地区存在复杂的冲突和地缘政治竞争,涉及圣战组织、犯罪组织、以及法国和俄罗斯等大国。撒哈拉地区由于其丰富的矿产资源而成为多个势力竞争的焦点。 Thomas Small 和 Eamon Dean:非洲在20世纪中期殖民帝国撤离后,国家建设进程受阻。冷战结束后,美国对非洲的关注减少,为中国和俄罗斯等大国的崛起提供了机会。非洲的未来可能面临激烈的冲突和竞争。 Eamon Dean: 对非洲的伊斯兰化进程进行了详细的阐述,从北非的早期征服到撒哈拉以南非洲的逐渐渗透,并分析了撒哈拉沙漠在其中扮演的地理障碍角色。同时,深入探讨了奴隶制在伊斯兰世界中的历史地位和伊斯兰教法对其的规范,以及赞吉起义的起因和影响。他还提出了一个关于维京人参与阿拔斯王朝时期历史事件的理论,解释了部分地区红发人口比例高的现象。 Eamon Dean: 对非洲当前的安全局势进行了分析,涵盖了非洲之角(索马里、埃塞俄比亚等)、东非(坦桑尼亚、莫桑比克等)、西非以及萨赫勒地区等多个区域,并分析了这些地区面临的恐怖主义、冲突、资源竞争等问题。他还指出了中国、阿联酋、沙特阿拉伯和土耳其等大国在非洲地区的影响力,以及法国在西非的长期影响和对资源的控制。 Eamon Dean: 对美国在非洲的影响力进行了分析,认为美国在冷战结束后对非洲的关注减少,为中国和俄罗斯等大国的崛起提供了机会。他还提到了埃隆·马斯克的Starlink项目对非洲互联网接入的影响,以及对非洲矿产资源的需求对非洲社会的影响。 Thomas Small 和 Eamon Dean: 对非洲的未来进行了展望,认为非洲可能成为未来大国竞争的焦点,并可能面临激烈的冲突。

Shownotes Transcript

Season 5 of Conflicted is here!

In this season, we’re delving deep into a continent whose Islamic heritage is often overlooked, but which is one of the most consequential and politically significant places in the world of geopolitics today. That’s right – in Season 5, Conflicted does Africa!

In our opening episode, Thomas and Aimen are giving you an introductory overview of the continent, and we really are covering a lot. From the Islamisation of North Africa, to the ISIS cells forming on the East African coast, to the reasons why there are so many redheads in the Levant, we want to use this episode to explain just why Africa is so important and consequential, both in terms of Islamic history and beyond. We’ll cover themes that will return across this season to welcome you into this truly fascinating world that we haven’t covered in any real depth across our previous four seasons.

New Conflicted Season 5 episodes will be coming every two weeks, but if you want to have your Conflicted fix every single week, then you’ll have to join our Conflicted Community.

Subscribers will get bonus episodes every other week, and can also join our Conflicted Community chatroom, where you can interact with fellow dearest listeners, discuss episodes past and future, get exclusive messages from Thomas and Aimen, ask future Q&A questions and so much more.
