UN Warns of Rising Violence Against Women and Girls in Sudan

The United Nations agency for women, UN Women, has raised alarm over the growing violence against women, girls, and civilians in and around El Fasher, North Darfur, Sudan. In a statement, the agency described the situation as catastrophic, noting that women and girls have faced siege, bombardment, and starvation for more than 500 days. Reports indicate that about 300,000 women and girls—half of the 575,000 people trapped in the city—are surviving on animal feed and leaves amid severe hunger and insecurity. UN Women said the recent takeover of El Fasher by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) marked a shift from siege to mass atrocities. The group cited reports of killings, rape, gang rape, sexual slavery, forced marriage, and abductions of women and girls. Medical networks, including the Sudan Doctors Union, have reported that over 2,000 civilians, many of them women […]

Tanzania lifts curfew and eases internet blackout after post-election violence

Tanzania has begun easing restrictions imposed after last week’s violent elections, with authorities lifting a nationwide curfew and partially restoring internet access. The move comes after days of unrest that the opposition says left hundreds dead. The electoral commission declared President Samia Suluhu Hassan the winner of the October 29 election with 98 percent of the vote, a result the opposition party Chadema dismissed as a “sham.” An AFP correspondent reported a slow return to normalcy in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday. Many residents cautiously resumed daily activities, though fear of renewed violence remained. “I hope violence will not come again,” said Rehema Shehoza, a 32-year-old food vendor. “Some of us would die from hunger because I need to get out for work to get my daily bread.” Police confirmed the lifting of the curfew imposed on election day, and […]

Chad Shuts Border as Terrorists Plan to Flee Northern Nigeria Over Alleged US Military Action

The Government of Chad has announced the immediate closure of its border with Nigeria, citing security concerns following reports of a possible United States military operation over alleged Christian killings in northern Nigeria. Military sources in N’Djamena, which hosts the headquarters of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), confirmed on Monday that President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno ordered a complete military lockdown along the Chadian–Nigerian border. According to the sources, intelligence reports indicated that terrorist elements in northern Nigeria were preparing to flee across the border into Chad to evade possible airstrikes or ground assaults linked to the purported U.S. military plan. “The president has ordered that no armed group or foreign force will be allowed to enter Chadian soil under any disguise,” a senior military officer said. The Chadian army has reportedly been placed on full combat alert, with […]

Sudan Accuses RSF of War Crimes in North Darfur Amid Reports of Mass Killings and Rape

Sudan has accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of carrying out war crimes in North Darfur following the fall of El-Fasher, where survivors describe scenes of mass killings and sexual violence. Speaking on Sunday, Sudan’s ambassador to Egypt, Imadeldin Mustafa Adawi, said the RSF was responsible for atrocities in the city and accused the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of supporting the group’s military operations. The UAE has denied any involvement. The statement comes after Sudanese Prime Minister Kamil Idris told the Swiss newspaper Blick that members of the RSF should face prosecution in international courts. However, he firmly rejected the idea of foreign troops being deployed to Sudan, calling such intervention “illegal.” El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, fell to the RSF last week after an 18-month siege marked by starvation and relentless fighting. The city was the Sudanese army’s […]

Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan has won a landslide re-election, securing 97.66 percent of the vote, according to official results released on Saturday.

Tanzania protests erupt after disputed election as police clash with demonstrators in Dar es Salaam

Hundreds of demonstrators clashed with police in Tanzania’s commercial capital, Dar es Salaam, for a third consecutive day on Friday, demanding that the national electoral commission halt the release of election results after a chaotic and contested vote. The protests erupted amid a government crackdown that has included military deployment and a near-total internet shutdown. On Thursday, security forces fired tear gas and live ammunition at protesters in the Mbagala, Gongo la Mboto, and Kiluvya neighbourhoods as residents defied a government-imposed curfew. According to reports, several vehicles, police posts, and even a petrol station were set ablaze as anger boiled over. Amnesty International said at least two people have been killed since the demonstrations began earlier in the week. The violence broke out following Wednesday’s general election, which many Tanzanians and rights groups have condemned as unfair and restrictive. President […]
