Sudan’s el-Fasher falls to RSF as fighter recounts killings and desperate escape

For 550 days, Abubakr Ahmed risked his life defending el-Fasher, the last major army stronghold in Sudan’s Darfur region, from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). As a member of the “popular resistance” — a local group backing the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) — he fought to keep the city from falling. That battle ended on October 26, when el-Fasher finally fell to the RSF after months of siege and relentless fighting. According to SAF leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the army’s surrender was meant to prevent a large-scale massacre, allowing troops to retreat safely. But the withdrawal left about 250,000 trapped civilians at the mercy of RSF fighters. Ahmed, 29, said he barely made it out alive. During the final hours of combat, a rocket-propelled grenade exploded near a car close to him, spraying shrapnel into his abdomen. “I was lucky […]

Ghana Farmers Announce Nationwide Boycott of 2025 Farmers’ Day Over Neglect and Policy Failures

A coalition of Ghana’s leading agricultural organisations has declared a nationwide boycott of the 2025 Farmers’ Day celebrations, accusing the government of neglect and mismanagement that have worsened the country’s food production crisis. The coalition — comprising rice and maize producers, millers, input suppliers, mechanisation service providers, and agribusiness groups — described the move as “a united stand for survival.” It marks the first time in Ghana’s history that such a broad alliance of farmers has collectively boycotted the national celebration. In a joint statement, the groups expressed frustration over the government’s failure to fulfil its September 2025 promise that the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) would buy all locally produced rice and maize. Farmers say no such purchases have occurred, leaving thousands of tonnes of grain unsold and many producers in debt. The statement also accused the government […]

Military Police Rescue Six Security Officers Detained Over Chieftaincy Dispute in Awutu

The Military Police have rescued four soldiers and two National Security operatives who were detained at the Bawjiase District Police Command and later transported to Accra for further interrogation. According to reports by Adom News, the officers were apprehended after allegedly attempting to install a new chief at Awutu Kwashie Abbey in the Awutu Senya West District — a community that already has a gazetted chief, Nai Kwashie Abbey VIII, popularly known as Nai Atopi. Awutu Kwashie Abbey, largely a farming community, has been the center of a prolonged chieftaincy dispute that has fueled division and tension among residents. The conflict intensified on Thursday night when a group of angry Asafo members from Kasoa Ofaakor stormed the Bawjiase District Police Command, demanding the immediate release of the detained military and security officers. Eyewitnesses say the agitated youth confronted police officers, […]

Timi Frank condemns rigged elections in Tanzania, Cameroon, Ivory Coast

Political activist and former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has condemned the recent elections in Tanzania, Cameroon, and Ivory Coast, describing them as “sham exercises” and “a disgrace to Africa.” Frank alleged that the polls were marked by manipulation, intimidation, and political violence, claiming they were selections rather than genuine elections. “These elections are a disgrace and shame to Africa,” he said. “In this 21st century, the continent should be making democratic progress, but what we see instead is the growing culture of rigging, violence, and oppression.” He urged the United Nations (UN), United States (US), and the European Union (EU) not to recognise or congratulate the outcomes of such elections, warning that failure to act could push Africa into further instability. “If nothing is done, this systematic rigging may soon lead […]

Ghana jails Nigerian man 10 years for trafficking sister, nine others

A Ghanaian court has sentenced a 29-year-old Nigerian man, Chukwudi Nwachukwu, to 10 years in prison for trafficking his younger sister and nine other girls from Nigeria to Ghana for prostitution. The victims, aged between 15 and 18, were deceived with promises of restaurant jobs but were forced into sex work upon arrival in Ghana. One of the victims was Nwachukwu’s own sister. Prosecutor Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Isaac Babayi told the court that the case began when Chief Calistus Eloziepuwa, a member of the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO) in Ghana, reported the incident and helped rescue the victims. According to Babayi, on June 7, 2024, the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) of the Ghana Police Service received a report from the Nmai Dzorn Police Station that Nwachukwu had been arrested and the victims freed. Investigations showed that Nwachukwu […]

Tanzania: Gunfire and Deaths Reported as Protests Erupt After Disputed Election

Gunfire echoed across parts of Dar-es-Salaam on Thursday as Tanzanian police clashed with protesters following a highly contested presidential election. Amnesty International confirmed the deaths of at least two people — a civilian and a police officer — amid growing unrest in the country’s largest city. In the Mbagala, Gongo la Mboto, and Kiluvya neighborhoods, demonstrators defied a government-imposed curfew, burning polling stations and chanting against what they called a rigged election. Tear gas and live rounds were reportedly fired to disperse the crowds. Tigere Chagutah, Amnesty International’s regional director for East and Southern Africa, condemned the violence, describing the deaths as “deeply disturbing.” He urged the authorities to “conduct a thorough and independent investigation into the unlawful use of lethal force” and to ensure accountability for those responsible. Internet access remained heavily restricted throughout Dar-es-Salaam, cutting off many residents […]

Tanzania Votes as President Samia Suluhu Hassan Heads for Easy Re-Election

Voters across Tanzania are heading to the polls on Wednesday to elect a new president, parliament, and local councillors. But despite the appearance of a competitive race, few doubt the outcome: President Samia Suluhu Hassan is expected to win comfortably, extending the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party’s six-decade hold on power. The CCM—known as the Party of the Revolution—has governed Tanzania uninterrupted for 64 years. And while multiple candidates are listed on the ballot, analysts and rights groups say the field has been heavily tilted in favor of the incumbent. “This election is more of a coronation than a contest,” said political analyst Joseph Mwaipopo. “The opposition has been systematically weakened, leaving voters with little real choice.” Opposition Silenced Before the Vote Human rights organizations have reported widespread intimidation of opposition figures, activists, and journalists ahead of the election.

 Oyedele Urges Governors to Borrow for Infrastructure Only

The Chairman of the Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee, Taiwo Oyedele, has advised state governors to borrow money only for building infrastructure that spurs economic growth, not for routine government spending. Speaking at the launch of a report on state finances in Abuja, Oyedele expressed concern over the rising debt levels of state governments. He clarified that borrowing is not inherently bad, but its purpose is what matters. “There is nothing wrong with borrowing; what matters is what you are borrowing for?” he stated. “We need to borrow less for recurrent spending, if at all, and borrow responsibly for infrastructure and productivity.” He commended states like Abia, Enugu, and Lagos, which allocate over 70% of their budgets to capital projects like roads and schools. He also revealed that new tax laws coming into effect next year will shift […]

US Revokes Visa of Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka

Nobel Prize-winning playwright Wole Soyinka has announced that the United States has revoked his visa, effectively barring him from entering the country. Professor Soyinka made the revelation during a press briefing in Lagos on Tuesday. He stated that he received an official notification from the US Consulate in Lagos dated October 23, 2025, but was given no reason for the decision. Expressing his surprise, Soyinka said he is unaware of any wrongdoing that could have led to the revocation. "I'm still looking into my past history… I don't have any past criminal record or even a felony or misdemeanour to qualify for the revocation," he told journalists. The development follows a previous incident in September, where Soyinka declined an invitation from the US Consulate for a visa re-interview, a request he initially believed might be a scam. The renowned author […]

Transitional Assembly Votes to Dissolve Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI)

The Transitional Legislative Assembly (ALT) of Burkina Faso, meeting in plenary session on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, in Ouagadougou, has unanimously adopted the draft law to dissolve the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI). The vote saw the participation of 70 members, all voting in favor. The session, presided over by Dr. Ousmane Bougouma, marks another major step in the country’s Popular Progressive Revolution (RPP) led by Captain Ibrahim Traoré, President of Faso. Under this revolutionary framework, the government has sought to restructure and streamline public institutions, with a focus on reducing state expenditure and rebuilding state governance in service of the popular masses. This institutional reform drive has already led to the dissolution of the Economic and Social Council (CES) and the Office of the Ombudsman of Faso. The CENI now joins the list of dissolved institutions. Reasons for Dissolution […]
