Cameroon Opposition Leader Issa Tchiroma Declares Victory Before Official Results

In a nearly five-minute video statement posted on social media early Tuesday, Tchiroma proclaimed himself the winner and urged President Paul Biya, the 92-year-old incumbent, to concede defeat. “The people have chosen, and this choice must be respected,” he said in the video, calling on Cameroonians to defend what he described as a “historic transition.” However, the government quickly cautioned that only the Constitutional Council has the legal authority to declare results. The body has up to two weeks to release the official outcome. Tchiroma, once a government spokesman and close ally of Biya for two decades, resigned in June to mount a challenge. His campaign drew massive crowds and endorsements from a coalition of opposition groups — making him the strongest challenger Biya has faced in years. Despite this, analysts widely expected Biya — Africa’s longest-serving leader with 43 […]

Madagascar President Dissolves Parliament Amid Political Crisis

Madagascar’s embattled President Andry Rajoelina has issued a decree dissolving the National Assembly, in a last-ditch attempt to stave off a political collapse as pressure mounts for his resignation. The president, who has reportedly fled the country, announced the decree on social media on Tuesday — just hours before lawmakers were expected to hold an impeachment vote against him. The political climate remains tense, with sections of the military and police now backing mass protests demanding that Rajoelina step down. According to a statement released by the presidency on Facebook, the decree “shall enter into force immediately upon its publication by radio and/or television broadcast.” Rajoelina defended his action in a separate online post, calling it a move to “restore order within our nation and strengthen democracy.” However, opposition leader Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko, who was leading the impeachment effort, dismissed the […]

Group Sues Ghana Government to Void U.S. Deportation Deal of West Africans

A Ghanaian civil society group, Democracy Hub, has filed a lawsuit at the Supreme Court seeking to nullify the deportation agreement between Ghana and the United States government, describing it as unconstitutional and inhumane. The legal challenge follows President John Mahama’s recent disclosure that Ghana had entered into an arrangement with Washington to accept deportees from across West Africa as part of U.S. President Donald Trump’s broad deportation programme. According to lawyers and affected migrants, at least 28 deportees have so far been flown into Ghana, with some subsequently transferred to their countries of origin or sent to third countries without proper documentation. In its court filing, Democracy Hub accused the Mahama administration of violating constitutional provisions by implementing the U.S. deportation deal “without a parliamentary resolution or ratification.” The group is asking the Supreme Court to declare the reception, […]

Cameroon Opposition Leader Tchiroma Claims Election Victory

Cameroon’s opposition candidate Issa Tchiroma Bakary has declared victory in Sunday’s presidential election, challenging the long-standing rule of President Paul Biya, who has held power for 43 years. Tchiroma announced his self-proclaimed win on Facebook, saying, “Our victory is clear. It must be respected.” He urged the government to “accept the truth of the ballot box” or risk plunging the nation into unrest. The opposition leader also promised to release detailed results broken down by region. “The people have chosen,” Tchiroma stated, as he called on authorities to uphold what he described as the will of the people. Under Cameroonian law, while candidates are permitted to publish tally sheets, the official results are only valid when announced by the Constitutional Council — a boundary the government has warned must not be crossed. The situation recalls the 2018 election, when opposition […]

Madagascar President Warns of Attempted Power Seizure

Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina has warned that an “attempt to seize power illegally and by force” is underway, following reports that a group of soldiers joined anti-government protests in the capital, Antananarivo. The warning came on Sunday, a day after soldiers stationed on the outskirts of the city called on security forces to “join forces” and “refuse orders to shoot” at protesters, denouncing the violent crackdown on ongoing demonstrations. The protests, led mostly by young people, have continued for over two weeks, sparked by frustration over power and water shortages across the country. On Saturday, soldiers clashed with gendarmes outside their barracks before riding into Antananarivo on army vehicles to join thousands of demonstrators gathered at the symbolic Place du 13 Mai in front of the city hall. The crowd reportedly cheered their arrival and chanted calls for President Rajoelina […]

Madagascar Soldiers Urge Army to Defy Orders Against Protesters

A group of soldiers from a military base near Madagascar’s capital, Antananarivo, has called on fellow troops and security forces to reject any orders to shoot at protesters. The message, shared in a video on Saturday morning, came as thousands of demonstrators marched in the city. “Let us unite — soldiers, gendarmes, and police — and refuse to be paid to shoot our friends, our brothers, and our sisters,” the soldiers from the Soanierana base said in the video. They urged colleagues across the country to “refuse orders to shoot” and “close the gates” of their camps until further notice. The soldiers also warned others not to follow commands from superiors who might order violence against protesters, adding, “Those who give such orders will not care for our families if we die.” It remains unclear how many soldiers have joined […]

Burkina Faso Refuses to Accept US Deportees

Burkina Faso has publicly refused a US request to accept individuals being deported from the United States, directly challenging a key part of President Donald Trump's immigration policy. The West African nation's foreign minister, Karamoko Jean-Marie Traore, called the proposal "indecent" and stated it was "completely contrary to the principle of dignity." The refusal comes as the US has been seeking third countries, including some in Africa, to receive deportees. The announcement followed a move by the US embassy in Burkina Faso to suspend most regular visa services, requiring citizens to apply from neighboring Togo instead. The minister questioned if this was "blackmail," reaffirming that Burkina is "a destination, not a place of expulsion." Under its current junta leader, Captain Ibrahim Traore, Burkina Faso has distanced itself from Western powers like France and strengthened its ties with Russia.

World’s Oldest Leader Biya Seeks Eighth Term in Cameroon

Paul Biya, the world's oldest head of state at 92, is the favorite to win Cameroon's presidential election on Sunday, extending his 43-year rule with an eighth term. He faces a divided opposition of 11 candidates, though his most credible rival, Maurice Kamto, was barred from running by the courts. Biya's campaign has been low-profile, marked by a rare public appearance this week after a trip to Switzerland fueled speculation about his health. Many young voters, who have known no other leader, express frustration with the high cost of living and lack of opportunities. However, others value his decades of experience. Human rights groups have long condemned Biya's control over the country's institutions and the election process, casting doubt on the vote's fairness. The election takes place amid a deadly separatist conflict in the country's English-speaking regions.
