In this episode, Mr. Ngogo Ibra hosts Dr. Mathew Bukhi Mabele for a critical discussion on the intersections of migration, conflict, and the charcoal economy in Tanzania. The episode explores how population movement, environmental stress, and charcoal production are deeply linked, shaping livelihoods, land use, and social relations in both host and migrant communities.

Drawing on research and field experience, the conversation unpacks how charcoal serves as both a survival resource and a driver of tension when governance gaps, land rights issues, and unequal access to resources persist. The episode highlights the need for conflict-sensitive and sustainable energy approaches that recognize migration realities while promoting environmental protection and social cohesion.
