Ghana accepts Nigerians, other West Africans deported from US

Ghana has begun receiving West African nationals deported from the United States, including Nigerians, President John Dramani Mahama announced on Wednesday. According to Reuters, Mahama confirmed that a first batch of 14 deportees — comprising Nigerians, a Gambian, and other West Africans — had already landed in Accra, with Ghanaian authorities assisting in their repatriation to their respective countries. “We were approached by the US to accept third-party nationals who were being removed from the US, and we agreed with them that West African nationals were acceptable because all our fellow West Africans don’t need a visa to come to our country,” Mahama explained. He added that the arrangement was logical since ECOWAS citizens already enjoy visa-free access to Ghana. The development comes amid Washington’s intensified deportation drive under President Donald Trump, who has expanded removals to “third countries” as […]

Burkina Faso $90 Billion Canal Project to Atlantic Unveiled by Traore

Burkina Faso is preparing for one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in Africa — a $90 billion canal that would connect the landlocked nation to the Atlantic Ocean. Announced under President Ibrahim Traore’s leadership, the initiative is set to transform the country’s economic and trade future. The proposed canal, stretching 1,200 kilometers, will directly link Ouagadougou to the Atlantic, effectively turning the capital into a global port. Plans include 20 massive locks and several artificial lakes to manage water flow and shipping routes. The design is expected to accommodate large cargo ships, positioning Burkina Faso as a new maritime hub in West Africa. Backed by BRICS nations and Gulf investors, the project is slated for completion by 2040. Once operational, it could cut trade transport times by up to 70%, boosting efficiency and lowering costs for exporters. Experts project […]

CSR-in-Action, Carbon Direct to drive decarbonisation in Africa

CSR-in-Action, a leading sustainability and ESG consultancy, has entered into a strategic partnership with Carbon Direct Inc., a global carbon management firm, to accelerate Africa’s transition to a low-carbon future. The collaboration, sealed under a Memorandum of Understanding, will equip African businesses, investors, and governments with advanced carbon accounting, reporting, and risk management tools that go beyond international standards such as GRI, TCFD, and ISSB. Unlike many advisory initiatives, the partnership will focus on practical implementation, including deploying emission-reducing technologies, facilitating access to climate finance, and building capacity in carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS). CSR-in-Action’s track record spans initiatives such as Nigeria’s Community Engagement Standards, the award-winning Earth Women documentary, and its widely referenced Sustainability Reporting report. Partnering with Carbon Direct expands its reach into decarbonisation implementation, carbon credit advisory (e.g., flare gas recovery, mangrove restoration), and hands-on training […]

L’initiative citoyenne qui transforme le Burkina Faso

Sous un soleil brûlant, les rues de Ouagadougou se transforment chaque jour grâce à Faso Mêbo. Cette initiative présidentielle, devenue symbole national, mobilise des centaines de volontaires. Ils transforment la poussière et les gravats en routes pavées, écrivant ensemble une nouvelle page pour le Burkina Faso. Ici, chaque citoyen devient acteur du changement, convaincu qu’aucun sauveur extérieur ne viendra construire le pays à leur place. Le lycée Philippe Zinda Kaboré est aujourd’hui le cœur battant de ce chantier citoyen. Des hommes, des femmes et même des aînés s’activent sans relâche. Certains malaxent le béton, d’autres moulent la pâte à pavés ou nettoient les moules pour préparer la prochaine série. Chaque geste est une contribution au développement collectif. Pour beaucoup, comme Karim Ouédraogo, c’est une occasion unique de remplacer l’ennui du chômage par la fierté de bâtir sa propre nation. L’initiative […]

Guinea-Bissau Faces Political Crisis as President Embalo Stays Beyond Term

Guinea-Bissau faces mounting political uncertainty after President Umaro Sissoco Embalo remained in office despite the official end of his term. Embalo’s mandate expired at midnight on Thursday, but instead of stepping aside, he declared that he would continue carrying out presidential duties until elections scheduled for November 23. Opposition parties denounced the move as an illegal power grab. Embalo is widely expected to seek a second term, but critics say his refusal to leave office risks plunging the country into another constitutional crisis. Guinea-Bissau’s constitution allows a five-year presidential term with a maximum of two terms. The opposition argues that Embalo’s tenure should have ended in February, though the Supreme Court ruled it extended until September 4. For months, opposition groups have refused to recognize Embalo as president. At the same time, parliamentary elections have not been held since the […]

WHO Deploys Experts as Congo Confirms 16th Ebola Outbreak in Kasai Province

The World Health Organization (WHO) has deployed experts to Kasai province in the Democratic Republic of Congo following confirmation of a new Ebola outbreak. The move comes as health authorities face what they say is the country’s 16th outbreak of the deadly virus. WHO said its teams are working with Congo’s Rapid Response Team to strengthen disease surveillance, improve treatment, and enhance infection prevention measures in health facilities. Supplies, including personal protective equipment, mobile labs, and medicines, are also being delivered. Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, confirmed that vaccines will play a central role in containing the outbreak. “We had previously prepositioned 2,000 doses of the Ebola vaccine in Kinshasa, which we are releasing to vaccinate contacts and health workers,” he said. Congo’s Health Minister Samuel-Roger Kamba said the outbreak’s fatality rate, estimated at 53.6%, highlights the severity of […]

Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali Are Building a New Rail for the Sahel’s Future

Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali are building a new rail that could change the future of transportation in the Sahel. More than just steel tracks, this project represents a bold vision of unity, development, and opportunity for three landlocked nations that have long faced challenges with connectivity. For decades, the Sahel has relied heavily on roads for trade and travel. These routes are often overburdened, expensive to maintain, and vulnerable to seasonal disruptions. A modern railway linking Ouagadougou, Niamey, and Bamako would ease these burdens while creating faster, safer, and more reliable ways to move goods and people. The economic benefits would be significant. Farmers in Mali could deliver fresh produce across borders without delay. Mining exports from Niger could reach ports and international markets faster, reducing costs and boosting revenue. Traders in Burkina Faso would gain smoother access to […]

Africa’s Youth and Startups Drive New Era of Growth

Africa’s business landscape is undergoing a transformation, led by young entrepreneurs who are redefining growth across agriculture, technology, and sustainability. From Dakar to Casablanca, the continent’s innovators are proving that Africa is not just adapting to global trends — it is setting them. Youth Lead Agricultural InnovationAt the Africa Food Systems Forum 2025 in Dakar, youth took center stage. The message was clear: Africa’s food future rests in the hands of its young farmers and innovators. With agriculture still employing the majority of Africans, youth are moving the sector beyond subsistence farming into a technology-driven engine of growth. Precision farming apps, access to digital finance, and climate-smart practices are reshaping the way smallholders produce food. “Smallholder farmers face barriers to finance, technology, and markets,” said Alvaro Lario, President of IFAD. “But when youth bring innovation into the picture, farming becomes […]

Central African Republic sends recruits to Uganda for military training

The Central African Republic is taking new steps to rebuild its armed forces after years of instability, collapse, and repeated crises. On Thursday, a group of recruits left Bangui’s Mpoko Airport for Kampala, Uganda, where they will undergo intensive military training. The recruits, drawn from all seven regions of the country, will spend six months in Uganda receiving training in intelligence gathering and counter-rebellion operations. According to the Central African Army’s training office, the goal is to create a professional and unified force capable of responding effectively to the persistent rebel threats that have plagued the nation. Oscar Yannick Bada, head of the army’s training office, explained that Uganda has granted training slots to 1,800 young Central Africans. These new soldiers will be trained as second-class soldiers under a bilateral military agreement signed between the two countries in October 2024. […]

Congo Declares New Ebola Outbreak in Kasai 15 Dead

Congo has declared a new Ebola outbreak in southern Kasai, with 28 suspected infections and 15 confirmed deaths, according to the Ministry of Health. The outbreak began in late August when a pregnant woman in Bulape was admitted with bleeding symptoms and died within a week. Several hospital staff and laboratory workers who had contact with her later developed symptoms. Provincial authorities initially reported eight deaths, but the toll quickly rose as more suspected cases emerged. The National Institute of Public Health elevated the alert level this week, confirming that the virus is once again spreading in the region. Ebola is transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids of infected patients. Early signs include fever, fatigue, and muscle aches, which may progress to severe bleeding and organ failure. Health workers and family members remain the most vulnerable, especially during treatment […]
