Trump Threatens Military Action in Nigeria Over Christian Killings

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened possible military action against Nigeria, accusing the country’s government of allowing the killing of Christians. In a post on his Truth Social platform on Saturday, Trump warned that the United States could intervene militarily if the Nigerian government fails to stop what he called “mass slaughter” of Christians by Islamist groups. “If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities,” Trump wrote. He added, “I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our cherished Christians.” […]

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 […]

FATF Removes Nigeria, South Africa, Mozambique, and Burkina Faso from Grey List

A global financial crimes watchdog, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), has officially removed South Africa, Nigeria, Mozambique, and Burkina Faso from its “grey list” of countries under increased monitoring for money laundering and terrorist financing concerns. The FATF, headquartered in France, announced the decision on Friday following what it described as “successful on-site visits” that confirmed significant progress by all four countries in addressing identified deficiencies within the agreed timelines. The organization maintains two key lists: the “grey list,” which includes countries making efforts to correct weaknesses in their anti-money laundering frameworks, and the “black list,” reserved for jurisdictions that pose the highest financial crime risks and show little cooperation. FATF President Elisa de Anda Madrazo called the delisting “a positive story for the continent of Africa,” noting that each country demonstrated substantial reforms. According to the FATF, South […]

Ivorians Vote Amid Tensions Over President Ouattara’s Fourth-Term Bid

Ivorians will head to the polls on Saturday, October 25, for a tense presidential election marked by anger and controversy over incumbent President Alassane Ouattara’s decision to seek a fourth consecutive term. Under the Ivorian constitution, a president is limited to two terms. However, Ouattara insists that the 2016 constitutional revision “reset” his term count, allowing him to run again. The move has ignited widespread criticism and rekindled fears of political instability in the West African nation. Ivory Coast, the world’s top cocoa and cashew nut producer, stands as a key economic hub in the region and West Africa’s second-largest economy. The country of 32 million, located between Ghana and Liberia, is rich in rainforests and coastal beauty. Nearly a quarter of the population resides in the commercial capital, Abidjan, while the official administrative capital is Yamoussoukro. French remains the […]

 Nigeria’s Entertainment Sector Grows 11.2%, Leads Africa

A new report from PwC shows that Nigeria's entertainment and media sector is the fastest-growing in Africa, expanding by 11.2% in 2024. This growth outpaces other major African markets like Kenya (7.1%) and South Africa (6.2%). The rapid expansion is largely driven by digital transformation, including a boom in internet advertising and consumer demand for streaming services (OTT). The report projects that Nigeria's sector will continue to grow at 7.2% annually through 2029. Key factors include a young, tech-savvy population, increased smartphone use, and cheaper data plans. Beyond digital, live music and esports are also seeing a strong rebound across the continent, with Nigeria positioned as the region's most dynamic market due to its creativity and demographics.

Africa Nears Polio-Free Status, Says WHO on World Polio Day

The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that Africa is making remarkable progress toward being declared polio-free. This milestone is driven by strong regional collaboration, digital innovation, and stronger health systems across the continent. According to the WHO, coordinated vaccination campaigns between January and October 2025 reached nearly 200 million children with at least one dose of the polio vaccine. These synchronized efforts, even in challenging regions, have led to a significant drop in outbreaks. Key to this success has been the use of technology, including digital payments for vaccinators and geospatial mapping to find and immunize children in hard-to-reach communities. Despite this progress, the WHO warns that challenges remain, including declining routine immunization and vaccine hesitancy. Sustained commitment is crucial to finally eradicating the disease and strengthening health systems for the future.

Makinde urges transparency in China-Africa partnerships

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has called for transparency and mutual benefit in partnerships between Africa and global powers, particularly China. He said such relationships must promote shared prosperity and fairness.
