SUMMARY:Contemporary Issues in Kenya & the African Union
DESCRIPTION:ACIR is honored to host Ambassador Robinson Njeru Githae of Kenya to Atlanta. Ambassador Githae will speak on the topic\, “Contemporary Issues in Kenya and the African Union.” \nKenya is geo-located in a most challenging area of Eastern Africa\, with neighbors that have been engaged in prolonged civil wars\, or as repositories for terrorists who plague that region. In spite of that challenge\, Kenya has been a long-standing ally of the United States and has sought to maintain economic progress through continued commercial relations with our nation. It has fully cooperated with the United States in coordinated strategic defense policies to engage in anti-terrorist strikes against Al Shabab and al-Qaeda groups in neighboring states. \nWithin the last year\, Kenya has agreed to a $900 Million trade agreement with the United States that will serve to bolster the American and Kenyan economies\, and bring this critically important East African nation even closer to the American political-economic orbit. \nThe maritime area off the long Kenyan coast\, with American military bases thus situated\, becomes even more strategically important due to what may be a growing Cold War with a rising power in Asia\, and its growing interest in East Africa. Kenya has become more important to the United States than ever before. \n

SUMMARY:Capitol Steps
DESCRIPTION:The Capitol Steps have elevated political satire to an art form.  Before The Daily Show\, Full Frontal\, and The Colbert Report\, this Washington\, DC-based comedy troupe gave audience laugh cramps with their bipartisan lampooning.  The Capitol Steps began in 1981 as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize their employers\, and haven’t let up since.  If you’ve been keeping with the news\, you know there’s no shortage of material.  The troupe is coming back to Atlanta with a new show of musical and political comedy.  It doesn’t matter if you’re a Republican or Democrat\, a snowflake or a deplorable:  neither side is safe from the group that puts the “MOCK” in Democracy!

SUMMARY:Flying Special Missions: From Ebola to Explosives
DESCRIPTION:When foreign governments descend into chaos and Americans need immediate evacuation; when American personnel are stricken with highly-infectious and deadly diseases and need to be flown home for treatment\, the U.S. State Department turns to one company: Atlanta-founded and Georgia-based Phoenix Air Group\, Inc. \nIn 2017\, Phoenix Air flew Otto Warmbier home from captivity in North Korea. In 2014\, they transported two Ebola-stricken Americans from Liberia to Atlanta for treatment at Emory Hospital. In March 2019\, Phoenix Air extracted 24 American diplomats and up to “20\,000 lbs. of sensitive cargo” from Venezuela despite never having received landing authority in the country. \nThese missions could have been from a James Bond or Jason Bourne script. But they are real with real consequences and real lives at stake. \nOn Tuesday\, April 9th Phoenix Air’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel Randy Davis — who also happens to be the pilot who flew the Ebola patients out of Liberia — will give Council members an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the world of global government special missions and security operations. \nThis program is for Council members only and has limited registrations. Complimentary admission for members. To register or become a member\, e-mail membership manager Alice Dossche at adossche@gsu.edu.
