Why Goodluck Jonathan Stepped Back From Politics

Former President Goodluck Jonathan explained that his membership in the West African Elders Forum (WAEF) requires strict non-partisanship, which has kept him out of active politics. Speaking at his foundation’s 10th anniversary, Jonathan noted the forum’s mission is to prevent election crises across West Africa, intervening before problems escalate. Jonathan admitted he disappointed associates who expected a return to politics, but adherence to WAEF rules is a priority. He condemned the “rascality” in the current political climate and called for more responsible and prepared leadership. He reflected sadly on the kidnapping of 25 girls in Kebbi State, recalling similar incidents from his presidency, and offered prayers for their safe return. Jonathan said his foundation—focused on democracy and governance after advice from Tony Elumelu—committed to advancing democracy, peace, and institutional reforms across Africa, including mediation and building trust between citizens and […]

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 […]

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 […]

Nigeria Home to Most Christians in Africa, 4th Worldwide—Report

Nigeria holds the largest Christian population in Africa and now ranks fourth worldwide, with approximately 109 million Christians. According to recent global data compiled from the CIA World Factbook, Pew Research and the UN World Population Prospects, only the United States, Brazil, and Mexico surpass Nigeria in Christian numbers. New religious statistics highlight Nigeria’s key role in the growth of Christianity across the Global South, despite ongoing international scrutiny linked to alleged religious violence. With a population of over 220 million, nearly evenly divided between Islam and Christianity, Nigeria remains a crucial hub for the faith. The country’s prominence has drawn fresh attention following US President Trump’s recent allegations of Christian genocide and threats of intervention. The Nigerian government strongly refuted the accusations, insisting the security crisis impacts all citizens regardless of faith, and results from terrorism and communal disputes. […]

South Africa receives distress calls from citizens trapped in Ukraine war

The South African government says it has received pleas for help from 17 citizens who joined mercenary forces fighting in Ukraine’s Donbas region and now want to return home. In a statement on Thursday, the presidency said the men, aged between 20 and 39, had contacted South African authorities seeking assistance to leave the war zone. The war, which began with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, has attracted foreign fighters from around the world, including several from African nations. According to the presidency, the South Africans were “lured to join mercenary forces involved in the Ukraine-Russia war under the pretext of lucrative employment contracts.” It did not specify which side they were fighting for. President Cyril Ramaphosa has ordered an investigation into how South African citizens were recruited to fight in the conflict. The government reminded citizens that it […]

US military drafts intervention plan for Nigeria amid Trump’s genocide claims

The United States military has reportedly developed plans for possible intervention in Nigeria following President Donald Trump’s claim that a “Christian genocide” is taking place in the country. Trump recently said on social media that “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria,” alleging that thousands of Christians have been killed by “radical Islamists.” He then directed the Pentagon to prepare an intervention plan. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth immediately responded, instructing the Africa Command (AFRICOM) to submit operational options for possible strikes. According to reports, AFRICOM, headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, has presented three options — light, medium, and heavy — outlining escalating levels of military involvement. Light OptionThe light option involves “partner-enabled operations,” where the US military and State Department would assist Nigerian forces in targeting Boko Haram and other insurgent groups operating mainly in northern Nigeria.Under this plan, […]
