UN Women Seeks Urgent Action as Food Crisis Ravages Women and Girls in Sudan

UN Women Regional Director Anna Mutavati has called for urgent global action to protect women and girls suffering acute food insecurity as Sudan’s raging two-year conflict deepens the humanitarian crisis. In Geneva, Mutavati highlighted the findings of a new gender alert reporting that almost 11 million Sudanese women and girls now face severe hunger, with being female a primary predictor of malnutrition. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) declared famine in El Fasher and Kadugli in November 2025, with the crisis spreading rapidly through Darfur and Kordofan. The report documents that 73.7% of women cannot meet minimum dietary diversity, leading to widespread malnutrition. As violence engulfs regions, women and girls endure hunger, displacement, death, and escalating gender-based violence—including skipping meals for children and youngest girls receiving the smallest portions. Despite dire conditions, women-led organizations remain pivotal in humanitarian response. […]

World Bank Criticises Nigeria’s Social Protection System, Only 44% of Benefits Reach Poor

The World Bank has criticized the effectiveness of Nigeria’s social protection programmes, revealing in its latest report that only 44% of government-run benefits reach poor households, despite 56% of enrolled beneficiaries being classified as poor. The main flaw is fixed allocations per household, which dilute support for larger, poorer families. The National Home-Grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSFP), which targets individual pupils, achieves better coverage, but its reach is limited and not nationwide. Social protection spending is extremely low—just 0.14% of GDP, far below the 1.5% global average and 1.1% Sub-Saharan Africa average. The overall impact on poverty reduction is minimal: all safety-net programmes together lower poverty by only 0.4 percentage points. The National Social Safety Nets Programme (NASSP), using the National Social Registry (NSR) to identify vulnerable populations, performs better, reducing poverty by 4.3 percentage points for beneficiaries. Nigeria overwhelmingly […]

The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) reports that two Nigerian nationals were rescued while two others remain missing following a fatal shipwreck in the Mediterranean. The vessel, carrying 49 migrants and refugees, departed Zuwara, Libya, on November 3 but capsized six hours later due to engine failure caused by high waves. Of the 49 passengers—47 men and two women—42 are missing and presumed dead, and seven were rescued, including two Nigerians. Survivors received emergency medical care and support from IOM. The missing include 29 Sudanese, eight Somalis, three Cameroonians, and two Nigerians.

Dangerous smuggling methods, unseaworthy vessels, and gaps in rescue capacity contribute to high fatalities. IOM called for more effective […]

Wike Deserves National Apology Over Clash With Naval Officer — PANDEF

The Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) has called for a national apology to the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, following his clash with a naval officer in Abuja. PANDEF National Chairman, Ambassador Godknows Igali, urged President Tinubu to direct security agencies to investigate fully and bring those responsible to book, emphasizing respect for civil authority and professionalism in the military. Igali described the officer’s actions as a show of disdain for Wike’s office and an affront to presidential authority, noting Wike as one of the administration’s best-performing ministers. PANDEF insisted military personnel should not be used for non-core duties like guarding personal properties, and that Wike deserves both protection and respect while carrying out his official mandates in the FCT. The organization warned against glamorizing military insubordination and criticized retired officers allegedly issuing illegal orders.

African Union Chief Says ‘No Genocide’ in Nigeria’s Troubled North

African Union Commission chair Mahamoud Ali Youssouf has declared there is “no genocide in northern Nigeria,” refuting US President Donald Trump’s recent claims that Christians face mass slaughter at the hands of jihadists. Youssouf stated at a New York press conference that the “complexity of the situation in northern Nigeria should push us to think twice before making such statements.” Youssouf clarified that Boko Haram’s attacks have impacted both Muslim and Christian communities, with Muslims being “the first victims” of the insurgency. Nigeria, with a roughly equal Christian south and Muslim-majority north, experiences indiscriminate violence from jihadist groups, but not targeted Christian genocide. Since 2009, Boko Haram has killed more than 40,000 and displaced over two million, according to UN data. Youssouf stressed that mislabeling the crisis as genocide oversimplifies the grave security challenges facing Nigeria and risks misunderstanding the […]
