Douala – Africa, home to the world’s youngest population with more than 70% under the age of 30, continues to rely heavily on foreign currencies and external financing. Entrepreneur Emile Parfait Simb views this dependency as a central challenge to the continent’s economic development and has sought to address it through the adoption of blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies.
Background and Career
Born in Cameroon in 1983, Simb began his career in information systems before moving into entrepreneurship. Over the past two decades, he has developed ventures across multiple sectors:
Construction: representation of Russian industrial group KAMAZ in Central Africa.
Real Estate: residential projects in Ghana designed to serve middle-class growth.
Agro-industry: initiatives in Cameroon and Senegal.
Finance and Technology: operations extending to Mauritius, Madagascar, and India.
His companies directly employ more than 1,000 young Africans, combining technological initiatives with large-scale employment creation.
Role in Central African Republic’s Crypto Legislation
Simb played a key role in shaping cryptocurrency legislation in the Central African Republic (CAR), where in 2022 he co-authored and presented the bill that legalized cryptocurrency. The move placed CAR among the earliest adopters of national-level crypto frameworks, following El Salvador’s 2021 decision on Bitcoin.
For Simb, blockchain represents a means of strengthening sovereignty by enabling states to control monetary systems, mobilize domestic resources, and finance infrastructure.
Social and Educational Contributions
Alongside his business ventures, Simb has initiated projects with social and educational impact. He established Africa’s first Russian language center, providing training for government officials, customs officers, and students, while also offering scholarships for youth from Cameroon, Senegal, and Ghana. He has contributed to health centers and education initiatives across the region.
Recognition and Affiliations
In recognition of his contributions, Simb was enthroned in 2021 as a king in Ghana’s traditional Akwapem kingdom. He serves as Special Advisor to the President of the CAR’s National Assembly and presides over the African Organization for Russophonie, working to strengthen ties between Africa and Russia.
Publications
Simb has authored two books intended to inspire younger generations in Africa:
The Simb Model: How to Become a Crypto Millionaire
From Part-Time Teacher to Crypto Millionaire (2021), which featured a dedication from CAR President Faustin-Archange Touadéra.
Balancing Innovation and Criticism
While his initiatives have attracted international attention, they have also drawn criticism, particularly regarding the rapid pace of crypto adoption in emerging economies. Simb attributes skepticism to a lack of understanding of the technology and emphasizes Africa’s need to pursue independent technological paths.
A Model of Emerging Leadership
Simb’s work across construction, agro-industry, technology, and policy highlights a hybrid model of leadership that integrates innovation with traditional sectors. His trajectory illustrates both the opportunities and the debates surrounding Africa’s digital and economic transformation.

Scientologists across Europe promote the Universal Declaration of Human Rights through Youth for Human Rights programs, combining education, cultural events, and international summits from Copenhagen to the UN in Geneva and New York. Rooted in L. Ron Hubbard’s teachings, they see human rights advocacy not only as civic service but as a spiritual duty, essential to social survival and personal progress toward the divine.
Members of the Church of Scientology are active across Europe in promoting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), inspired by the vision of their religious community’s Founder, L. Ron Hubbard. Through the non-profit Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI) and United for Human Rights, Scientologists volunteer their time and resources to bring knowledge of the 30 rights enshrined in the UDHR to schools, communities and youth events. With booklets, audiovisuals and lesson plans translated into many languages, the program makes these fundamental rights accessible to young people of every background.
This work traces back to Mr. Hubbard’s insistence that human rights education is essential for the survival of societies. In 1969, he reprinted the UDHR in a Church magazine, highlighting that governments’ very survival depends utterly upon adopting such reforms. For Scientologists, those words remain a guiding principle. They see education on rights not merely as a public service but as an essential part of building understanding between people and ensuring dignity for every human being. In this sense, their commitment is a direct continuation of the Founder’s ideal of turning rights from a lofty declaration into a living fact.
A place in Europe whose activation on this field can’t be overlooked is Denmark. Since 2006, the religious community and diverse activists, through Youth for Human Rights Denmark, have organized innovative projects that combine education with cultural expression. Students learn through screenings of The Story of Human Rights film, creative workshops and discussions in classrooms, and the now-traditional Walk for Human Rights every December 10, where hundreds gather in Copenhagen to celebrate and demand respect for the UDHR. The program has earned recognition from both the City of Copenhagen and the national Ministry of Culture, which provided support for its activities. This official acknowledgment illustrates how initiatives born from Scientologists’ religious inspiration also contribute to civic life in concrete, measurable ways.
And Denmark is just one example. Across Europe, Scientologists and their churches have helped bring Youth for Human Rights programs to a wide variety of settings. In Brussels, the Church of Scientology for Europe co-hosted the International Youth Summit, gathering young delegates from dozens of nations to exchange strategies for spreading awareness of the UDHR. In Geneva, volunteers support annual UDHR Anniversary celebration at UN premises, giving voice to dozens of NGOs from accross Europe that contribute to make human rights closer to a fact, and often with the use of Youth for Human Rights International materials. Then there is the annual Summits at the United Nations, where youth delegates present projects to diplomats, NGOs and human rights experts. at the UN Headquarters in New York, providing a global platform for the voices of young people committed to making rights a reality. In Madrid and other capitals, Scientologists join with schools, civic leaders and interfaith groups to mark milestones such as Human Rights Day and anniversaries of the UDHR. Together, these initiatives form a network of education and advocacy that stretches from local classrooms to the world stage.
What unites these efforts is more than civic engagement. For Scientologists, championing human rights is also a spiritual expression, deeply rooted in their faith. The Creed of the Church of Scientology explicitly affirms human rights, underscoring their central place in religious practice. Scientology teaches that life is best understood as a progression through eight dynamics—spheres or urges of survival that extend from the self and the family, through groups, humankind and the natural universe, and ultimately toward spirituality and the infinite, which is how Scientologists commonly describe the concept of God.
Caring for others and safeguarding their rights lies at the heart of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Dynamics, where the individual recognizes survival as part of humanity, nature and spiritual awareness. Scientologists believe that only by strengthening and improving survival across these dynamics—by upholding the dignity of others—can one gradually advance toward the Eighth Dynamic, identified with the Supreme Being, God or infinity.
In this light, their human rights work is not an isolated project but an integral step in a broader spiritual journey.
As a Church spokesperson Ivan Arjona summarized: “Youth for Human Rights’ mission is to make human rights a fact, not just an idealistic dream. For Scientologists, every effort to teach and protect human rights builds understanding of our place within the broader fabric of life—and step by step, this is what brings us closer to the highest truths of existence.”
From Copenhagen sidewalks to Brussels conference halls, from annual youth summits at the United Nations in Geneva and New York to classroom and civil society projects in Madrid, Amsterdam and beyond, Scientologists continue to honor Mr Hubbard’s vision: that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights should be known, lived and safeguarded. Their efforts show that when people are educated on their rights, societies grow stronger, individuals find common ground, and the path toward greater spiritual awareness remains open to all.

For millions of women, midlife brings more than hot flashes. Fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and mood swings can combine into what feels like a permanent “slump.” Traditional medicine often treats these symptoms in isolation—if at all—leaving women without answers and without relief.
Trinity HRT & Wellness, a Fort Myers-based clinic offering both in-person and nationwide telehealth care, is addressing this gap with a new integrated Menopause and Weight-Loss Program designed to tackle the hormonal and metabolic root causes of midlife changes.
“Menopause is not just a phase—it’s your hormones,” says Dr. Jean-Jacque Vel, physician at Trinity HRT. “When estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid function shift, metabolism and mental health shift with them. By treating the whole picture—hormones, nutrition, and mindset—we can help women feel balanced and confident again.”
Unlike many conventional approaches, Trinity’s program combines personalized hormone therapy with one-on-one weight-loss coaching, ensuring women receive both medical guidance and practical support for lifestyle changes. This dual strategy helps address the common frustrations of midlife: stubborn weight gain, sleep disruption, anxiety, and declining energy.
Patients can choose to visit the Fort Myers clinic or connect via secure, nationwide telehealth consultations, making support accessible for women across the U.S. Every plan is individualized, beginning with lab testing and a free consultation to discuss personal goals and symptoms.
Faith-based values also play a role in Trinity’s approach. “We believe the body is a temple,” says the clinic’s wellness coach. “Our mission is not only to restore physical health but also to nurture emotional and spiritual well-being during a stage of life that’s often overlooked.”
Why It Matters
80% of women experience menopausal symptoms that interfere with daily life, yet many never receive targeted treatment.
Weight gain during menopause is strongly linked to hormonal shifts, not just lifestyle factors.
Studies show that treating hormones and metabolism together can improve not only physical health but also quality of life.
With this new program, Trinity HRT & Wellness hopes to spark a larger conversation about menopause care—shifting it from symptom management to whole-person healing.
About Trinity HRT & Wellness Trinity HRT & Wellness provides personalized Hormone Replacement Therapy and wellness services to patients in Fort Myers, FL, and nationwide via telehealth. Rooted in Christian values, Trinity combines medical expertise with compassionate, holistic care to help patients restore balance, energy, and vitality.
United Arab Emirates, 25th Sep 2025 — Amid the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza, global Web3 investment institution Pursuing Dream Team has launched an emergency relief initiative, distributing food, clean water, and medical supplies to local residents. The effort aims to support affected families in overcoming immediate hardships and underscores the organization’s sense of responsibility in times of crisis.
As part of this mission, Pursuing Dream Team deployed multiple batches of rice, cooking oil, and other essential goods, while its Jordan branch members helped establish temporary medical stations in affected areas to provide treatment and health assistance for the injured and sick. The team stated that through such rapid-response measures, it hopes to alleviate urgent survival and healthcare pressures faced by Gaza’s population.
Julian Tan, mentor of Pursuing Dream Team, emphasized: “In the face of a humanitarian crisis, no organization should remain on the sidelines. We firmly believe that business growth and social responsibility are inseparable. Pursuing Dream Team will do its utmost to deliver food, water, and medical supplies to the people of Gaza, bringing them warmth and hope. Looking ahead, we will continue to strengthen cooperation with the international community and provide meaningful support to more regions in need.”
According to local reports, this relief effort reached over a thousand families, with some supplies distributed to remote communities through local partners. Many beneficiaries expressed that the aid not only addressed urgent needs but also reminded them they are not forgotten by the global community.
For years, Pursuing Dream Team has adhered to its principle of “steady, long-term, and sustainable” development. Alongside advancing blockchain and digital economy innovation, the organization has actively engaged in social welfare projects. These include educational assistance, environmental initiatives, and food support programs in the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, and other regions—always focused on improving community well-being through concrete action.
The humanitarian mission in Gaza once again demonstrates Pursuing Dream Team’s philosophy of aligning investment with social good. The organization further affirmed its commitment to contributing to the peace and stability of the Middle East in the future, working hand in hand with global partners to build a more equitable, sustainable, and hopeful world.
On September 19, 2025, the twelfth Religious Freedom Awards were held at the Church of Scientology headquarters in Madrid, organized by the Foundation for the Improvement of Life, Culture and Society, which has UN ECOSOC Special Consultative Status. These pioneering awards in Spain and Europe recognized five honorees for their work defending religious freedom, freedom of conscience, and interfaith dialogue: Salvador Pérez Álvarez (UNED) for promoting positive secularism and a culture of peace; Óscar Salguero Montaño (Complutense University of Madrid) for advancing diversity and coexistence; Javier García Oliva (University of Manchester) for his international perspective on rights; Luis Morente Leal (Buddhist Union of Spain) for his advocacy of equality and minority faiths; and Pandit Krishna Kripa Dasa (Hindu Federation of Spain) for strengthening interreligious dialogue. The event reaffirmed its role as a European benchmark in promoting diversity as a source of societal enrichment.
Madrid, September 19, 2025 – The headquarters of the Church of Scientology in Madrid hosted the twelfth edition of the Religious Freedom Awards, organized by the Foundation for the Improvement of Life, Culture and Society, pioneers in Spain and Europe in recognizing the work of those who defend religious freedom, freedom of conscience and interfaith dialogue.
These awards, unique in their kind, and drawing from precept 18th of The Way to Happinness by L Ron Hubbard, bring together academics, jurists, religious leaders, and representatives of civil society in an event that seeks to highlight the challenges and achievements in this field. The Foundation, which holds Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), and which was proudly founded by the Church of Scientology, has brought the voice of Spanish religious communities to international forums, including Geneva, Vienna, and New York, consolidating its role as a relevant actor in the promotion of this fundamental right.
Among those in attendance were Mr. Daniel Pelayo, Deputy Director General for Religious Freedom at the Ministry of the Presidency, and representatives of the Diversity Management Unit of the Madrid Municipal Police, whose work was highlighted during the event. Other attendees were from the Bahai Community of Spain, the sisterhood of Vedruna Carmelita nuns of Charity, among others.
A message of dignity and freedom
The ceremony opened with remarks by Isabel Ayuso Puente, Secretary General of the Foundation, who recalled that religious freedom is essential even in times of war:
“In a world ravaged by war, it might seem a little frivolous to focus on freedom of belief or freedom of religion, because there are other needs that seem more pressing, and indeed they are, at present.”
Ayuso emphasized the centrality of freedom of belief to human dignity:
“Freedom of belief is like the freedom of freedoms. Without it, people would not have the status of human beings.“
Finally, he highlighted the need to make diversity of belief visible in order to strengthen coexistence:
”to give visibility to religion, because it can be a pillar, and in fact is a pillar, for laying the foundations for a future and a better society in which everyone can live in peace.”
Five awards, five approaches
This year, for the first time, the awards were expanded from three to five, incorporating awards that recognize the practical work of religious communities and their direct contribution to dialogue and coexistence.
Professor Salvador Pérez Álvarez – Positive secularism and culture of peace
The first award winner of the night was Salvador Pérez Álvarez, Professor of Ecclesiastical Law at the UNED, presented by Professor Fernando Amérigo-Cuervo, who highlighted his academic career and his commitment to freedom of conscience and bioethics.
In his speech, Pérez reflected on the constitutional principles that guarantee religious freedom:
“Positive state secularism is the institutional guarantee, the constitutional pillar that underpins the full enjoyment of religious freedom by all citizens in an increasingly pluralistic society, under conditions of real and effective equality.”
He warned of the growing risk of hate speech in society:
“This argument is becoming increasingly radicalized and, what is more worrying, in my humble opinion, it is becoming increasingly prevalent in different social sectors.”
He called for a collective commitment to address these threats:
“We cannot stand idly by in the face of this new form of threat to coexistence on the grounds of religious differences.”
Finally, he linked freedom of belief to the construction of a more just society:
“The fulfillment of this requirement has served as the basis for the implementation of a genuine culture of peace as a sustainable development goal.”
Professor Óscar Salguero Montaño – Diversity, respect, and dialogue
The second prize went to Óscar Salguero Montaño, professor and social anthropologist at the Complutense University of Madrid, presented by UAM professor Ana Isabel Planet, who highlighted his commitment to social change and the promotion of coexistence.
Salguero began by recalling the words of Jürgen Habermas after 9/11, which remain fully valid:
“Secular citizens must stop understanding religions as atavistic realities and, on the other hand, religious citizens and their representatives must open themselves to dialogue with modernity, far from any fundamentalist attitude.”
She explained how freedom of belief underpins social diversity:
“This freedom of belief enables each and every one of us to live according to our deepest convictions, whether political, religious, or non-religious, and always under the crystal-clear prism of respect and coexistence.”
He warned against the political exploitation of beliefs:
“We see how religious beliefs are increasingly being exploited to generate conflict or used as an excuse to limit rights.”
And he linked this challenge to the fragility of peace:
“Coexistence and interreligious respect are fragile values that we must protect and defend.”
Professor Javier García Oliva – An international perspective on rights
The third award recognized the work of Javier García Oliva, Professor of Constitutional Law and Dean of the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences at the University of Manchester (United Kingdom), presented by UCM Professor Santiago Cañamares.
García Oliva recalled the historical challenges to religious freedom and their current impact:
“It is disheartening to think that this person had to live in fear and hide their beliefs.”
Referring to the contemporary reality, he warned:
“In many parts of the world, including Western Europe, many citizens face serious problems, even death, in exercising their religious freedom.”
He emphasized the need for a balance between fundamental rights:
“Religious freedom is a fundamental and non-negotiable right in a democracy, but it can only be fully enjoyed if other fundamental rights are respected.”
Mr. Luis Morente Leal – Buddhism and equality in diversity
The fourth award was presented to Luis Morente Leal, representative of the Buddhist Union of Spain and a lawyer with decades of experience in defending equal treatment for minority faiths.
Morente spoke about the importance of knowledge as the basis for respect:
“Knowing and dealing with other people who think differently from me has not only enriched me, but has also made me understand in all its depth the phrase that to know is to love.”
He shared personal experiences of discrimination:
“I have experienced discrimination in my own country for two reasons. One, when I had an African girlfriend. And another, when some people found out that I was a Buddhist.”
He defended diversity as an enriching element of society:
“Diversity enriches us. And diversity is not only what is in line with our religion, it is also the person who has a code of ethics.”
And he expressed his desire for a peaceful future:
“May some generation in this world finally live without hatred, live without wars, and live knowing others and, above all, knowing themselves.”
Pandit Krishna Kripa Dasa – Recognition and interreligious dialogue
The last award went to Pandit Krishna Kripa Dasa, president of the Hindu Federation of Spain, for his work in representing and uniting Hindu communities, as well as his proactive participation in multiple interreligious spaces, such as the TRANSCENDENCE International Forum, among others.
Krishna Kripa Dasa recalled the daily coexistence in his hometown, Ceuta:
“In Ceuta, coexistence is not an academic exercise or a matter of diplomacy, but something that is lived on a daily basis.”
He defended the millennial status of Hinduism as a religion deeply rooted in the world and in Spain:
“Hinduism has 1.2 billion followers, a presence in 145 countries, and 130 years of history in Spain.”
He pointed out the need to avoid the fragmentation of communities and explained the inclusive vision of his tradition:
“The truth is one, but the sages call it by different names.”
Religious freedom: a living practice
To close the event, Iván Arjona Pelado, president of the Foundation and representative of Scientology to the European institutions and the United Nations, thanked the award winners and all those present, emphasizing that religious freedom is a collective effort:
“Today we have seen that religious freedom is not only a legal right, but a living practice that builds more just and peaceful societies.”
The ceremony concluded with a group photo and a call to continue working together for coexistence, cooperation, and respect among all beliefs.
A consolidated event on the religious freedom calendar
With this twelfth edition, the Religious Freedom Awards reaffirm their role as a meeting platform for religious communities, institutions, and human rights defenders. The Foundation’s international recognition, thanks to its status with the UN, has made these awards a European benchmark in the defense of freedom of belief, with a view to building societies where diversity is understood as a source of wealth and not as a threat.
The closing remarks of the evening also reflected on the origins and vision that made these awards possible. The Foundation for the Improvement of Life, Culture and Society, established by the Church of Scientology, draws inspiration from the teachings of its founder, L. Ron Hubbard, who emphasized that “religious freedom is the first freedom.” Under the leadership of Mr. David Miscavige, the Church has expanded its humanitarian and interfaith initiatives worldwide, fostering dialogue and understanding among communities of diverse beliefs. This global vision continues to guide the Foundation’s efforts to defend the rights of all individuals to practice their faith freely and to promote a culture of peace and coexistence.

NANOGEIOS and AIDEN DIGITAL LABS have developed the IRIS-X platform, a breakthrough technology that reduces the cost of natural hydrogen exploration by 95-98% and cuts deployment time from 18 months to 8 weeks, enabling rapid and sustainable resource discovery.
A breakthrough in sustainable resource exploration technology
MIAMI, FL — September 18, 2025 — Growing global demand for clean energy and accelerating climate change mitigation efforts have intensified the search for sustainable alternatives. Natural hydrogen emerges as a promising zero-carbon energy solution due to its high energy density and clean combustion characteristics. Among exploration methods, conventional drilling and seismic surveying remain costly and inefficient; however, their dependence on extensive surface disturbance and multi-million dollar budgets limits large-scale implementation. Advanced subsurface detection offers a practical alternative by leveraging Earth’s natural hydrogen and helium resources, but high operational costs, extended timelines, and environmental impacts pose significant challenges for sustainable resource development.
To address this, a research team led by Abdelmoumen Shad Serroune at NANOGEIOS Laboratory, in partnership with AIDEN DIGITAL LABS, developed a robust and cost-effective exploration platform capable of high-performance resource detection in complex geological environments. Dr. Serroune shares the motivation behind this breakthrough: “Conventional exploration methodologies, though established within the industry, face significant challenges including prohibitive costs, extended deployment periods, and environmental concerns that hinder commercialization. Our research is driven by the mission to develop economically viable and environmentally sustainable resource exploration technology to overcome these critical barriers.” Their findings were first published in the International Journal of Medical Science and Clinical Invention in July 2025.
The team designed the IRIS-X (Integrated Reconnaissance and Imaging System – eXtended) an exploration platform that overcomes limitations of conventional drilling and seismic methods in natural hydrogen and helium exploration with the unique ability to be adapted for rare earth minerals, noble gases and minerals. They employed proprietary nano biomarker technology combined with advanced metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensor arrays to synthesize selective detection matrices with crystalline-amorphous heterostructures. The nano-biomarkers are engineered to latch onto target molecules like hydrogen and helium with remarkable precision, achieving near-perfect binding efficiencies of 99.1% and 98.4%, respectively. During deployment, controlled nitrogen carrier injection facilitates uniform subsurface distribution while real-time magnetic tracking systems provide three-dimensional pathway reconstruction capabilities.
Comprehensive field testing in Indonesia’s Padang region demonstrated outstanding resource detection performance. Over a 14-week validation campaign, IRIS-X exhibited exceptional analytical capabilities with 92% detection efficacy across variable lithological settings.
The platform successfully quantified hydrogen accumulations totaling 18.5±2.3 million cubic meters while maintaining measurement precision within ±5% variance across challenging tropical conditions. Durability was confirmed through sustained operation across diverse geological formations including serpentinization zones and radiolysis environments. Crucially, the platform demonstrated exceptional cost-effectiveness with operational expenditures of $1,500,000 per campaign compared to conventional methods requiring $5-20 million, representing a 95-98% cost reduction while compressing deployment timelines from 6-18 months to 6-8 weeks.
The study highlights several distinct advantages. The IRIS-X platform synergistically combines high-sensitivity detection with optimized operational efficiency through radial well configurations covering 20,000 square meters per deployment with the ability to reach 100.000 sqm. The integrated AI-driven data processing prevents measurement artifacts while enabling real-time resource quantification. The overall design provides exceptional environmental stewardship with zero operational incidents and minimal surface disturbance. Together, these features enable cost-effective, scalable resource exploration directly from natural formations while reducing environmental impact and supporting decarbonization across energy-intensive sectors.
AMS Serroune emphasizes, “Our breakthrough enables direct natural hydrogen and helium exploration from subsurface formations using advanced nano biomarker technology, opening vast geological resources for clean energy generation.” He adds, “The enhanced exploration systems demonstrate remarkable economic viability with 95-98% cost reduction compared to conventional methods, making resource discovery significantly more accessible for commercial development.“.
Looking toward future applications, the IRIS-X architecture supports expansion into critical mineral exploration through aptamer-functionalized nano biomarker systems specifically engineered for uranium, thorium, lithium, cobalt, and rare earth element detection, positioning the technology at the forefront of the global energy transition.
In conclusion, this work establishes a nano biomarker-mediated detection strategy that simultaneously addresses sensitivity, efficiency, and environmental challenges in subsurface resource exploration. Dr. Serroune notes, “Our technology will accelerate clean energy adoption by enabling rapid identification of natural hydrogen resources while maintaining superior environmental standards.” By enabling efficient and sustainable subsurface exploration, this study provides a blueprint for next-generation resource discovery, paving the way for large-scale clean energy infrastructure development.
