NECO accredits Burkina Faso schools for SSCE, BECE

The National Examinations Council (NECO) has accredited selected schools in Burkina Faso to host its Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) and Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE). According to Acting Director of Information and Public Relations, Azeez Sani, the decision followed a detailed assessment of classrooms, laboratories, libraries, ICT facilities, workshops, exam halls, sports grounds, security and teacher availability in the West African country.​ Sani said the schools were granted full accreditation after the evaluation, stressing that the move reflects NECO’s drive to provide credible assessment services beyond Nigeria’s borders. The development builds on NECO’s growing foreign footprint, which already includes centres in Togo, Benin Republic, Niger, Equatorial Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire and Saudi Arabia, as well as a newly opened centre in London.​ Nigeria’s Ambassador to Burkina Faso, M.D. Galadima, hailed the accreditation as a major relief for Nigerian families who […]

ECOWAS suspends Guinea-Bissau after military coup

ECOWAS has suspended Guinea-Bissau from all its decision-making bodies following the recent military coup in the country. The regional bloc said the takeover violated its protocols on democracy and good governance and could destabilise West Africa if left unchecked.​ In a statement issued after an emergency summit, ECOWAS leaders condemned the coup and demanded the immediate restoration of constitutional order. They called on the coup leaders to release all detained officials, respect human rights and set a clear timetable for a return to democratic rule.​ The organisation warned that additional political and economic sanctions could follow if its demands are ignored. Member states were urged to remain vigilant and coordinate efforts to prevent the crisis in Guinea-Bissau from spilling over into neighbouring countries.​ ECOWAS also appealed to the African Union, United Nations and other international partners to support its efforts.

Hayli Gubbi Volcano Erupts in Ethiopia After 10,000 Years

A volcano in Ethiopia has erupted for the first known time in more than 10,000 years, sending massive columns of smoke and ash into the sky and disrupting air travel as far away as India. The Hayli Gubbi volcano, located in the Afar region in Ethiopia’s northeast, came alive on Sunday after millennia of inactivity. The eruption blanketed nearby villages in thick dust and created new challenges for farmers and livestock herders in the area. Local administrator Mohammed Seid told the Associated Press that no casualties have been reported, but the ashfall threatens grazing lands essential for the community’s survival. Residents recalled the moment the eruption began, describing a sudden, explosive shock. “It felt like a bomb had gone off with smoke and ash,” said Ahmed Abdela, a resident of the area. NASA satellite images captured the plume rising dramatically […]

Nigeria condemns Guinea-Bissau coup

Nigeria has strongly condemned the military coup in Guinea-Bissau and described the takeover as an unacceptable and unconstitutional change of government. The Federal Government called for an immediate return to constitutional order and the restoration of democratic governance in the West African country.​ In a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja, Nigeria said the coup undermines regional stability and violates the core principles of democracy and the rule of law. The government stressed that power should only be attained and exercised through constitutional means and the will of the people.​ Nigeria reaffirmed its support for the efforts of ECOWAS and the African Union to address the crisis.

EU, Africa Leaders to Talk Trade and Minerals as Ukraine Looms Large

Dozens of EU and African leaders, including France’s Emmanuel Macron, Germany’s Friedrich Merz, and Kenya’s William Ruto, assemble in Angola for a summit focused on trade, migration, and securing Africa’s critical raw materials. The summit, marking 25 years of EU–African Union relations, is set against tense US–EU diplomatic rifts over Washington’s Ukraine peace plan, widely criticized as favoring Moscow. Efforts to revamp EU-Africa ties reflect new competition from China, Russia, Gulf states, and Turkey, with Africa no longer relying solely on Europe as a partner. The EU remains the continent’s largest investor and commercial counterpart, but resentment over colonial history and China’s growing presence threaten its influence. Key priorities include: Boosting intra-African trade and economic development, with EU support for major infrastructure projects like Angola’s Lobito railway corridor. Tackling migration and security cooperation. Ensuring Africa’s voice in global governance. Securing […]

Africa’s Carbon Credit Deals With Blue Carbon Stall, Raising Oversight Concerns

Several African nations, including Liberia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Kenya, and Nigeria, signed major carbon credit agreements with Dubai-based Blue Carbon in 2023 to protect forests and sell credits to global polluters. The deals promised revenue, environmental benefits, and local investment. However, within two years, these agreements stalled or vanished with little implementation. Liberia’s million-hectare deal was halted after concerns about transparency, lack of local consultation, and potential violations of land rights. Similar agreements in Zimbabwe, Zambia, and outside Africa (Papua New Guinea) failed to progress, often lapsing at the MOU stage. Background investigations found no trace of Blue Carbon or its projects in global carbon registry records. The company’s web presence and activities faded in 2025, and its offices could not be verified. Activists say the projects were primarily “greenwashing,” allowing polluters to claim climate action with no real impact or […]

Nigeria intensifies hunt for abducted Kebbi schoolgirls after deadly raid

Security forces in northwest Nigeria have launched an intensified manhunt for the 25 schoolgirls abducted during a pre-dawn raid on their school in Kebbi State. The attackers struck Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Maga around 4am on Monday. According to police, armed men on motorcycles stormed the compound, exchanged gunfire with officers, then scaled the perimeter fence and seized the students. The school’s vice principal was killed during the assault. No group has claimed responsibility, and investigators are still probing the motive behind the attack. By Tuesday morning, security teams had spread out into nearby forests known to shelter armed gangs. Additional units were positioned along major routes leading in and out of the area. Kebbi Governor Nasir Idris visited the school shortly after the incident and pledged swift action. Hours later, Nigeria’s army chief, Lieutenant-General Waidi Shaibu, met […]

US Delivers New HIV Prevention Drug to Two African Nations

The United States has delivered a new HIV prevention drug, Lenacapavir, to Eswatini and Zambia, beginning its rollout in Africa. This move comes after US government aid for global health dropped significantly in recent months. The US, working with the Global Fund and Gilead Sciences, delivered 1,000 doses of Lenacapavir to the two countries, with administration starting this week. US officials aim to fund two million doses for low- and middle-income African nations, targeting a goal by 2028 or sooner. Lenacapavir is an injectable drug that only needs to be taken twice a year, providing an easier alternative to daily pills and improving access, especially for pregnant and breastfeeding women. It is seen as a breakthrough in HIV prevention and could greatly reduce new infections. The recent cuts to US foreign aid have affected other HIV and AIDS programs, including […]

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. […]
