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. Makinde made this call during the opening of the second Ibadan Forum, jointly organised by the University of Ibadan’s Department of History and Zhejiang Normal University, China. The event, themed “Convergence or Divergence? Africa’s Development in Global Partnerships and a Shared Future,” gathered scholars and policymakers to discuss Africa’s role in the global order. Represented by his deputy, Bayo Lawal, Makinde urged African leaders to carefully assess international agreements and ensure they align with the continent’s interests. “We must not run opaque partnerships. They must be open to all stakeholders. That is how we promote convergence, not divergence,” he said. He called for fairness in deals between China and […]

Army Colonel Sworn In as Madagascar President After Military Takeover

An army colonel, Michael Randrianirina, has been sworn in as the new president of Madagascar. This follows a military takeover that forced former president Andry Rajoelina to flee the country. The swearing-in ceremony took place in the capital, Antananarivo, just days after Colonel Randrianirina's army unit mutinied and sided with anti-government protesters. The constitutional court then impeached Rajoelina for "desertion of duty." In his speech, the new president called the event a "historic turning point" and promised to break from the past. He pledged to draft a new constitution and hold elections within 18 to 24 months. He insisted the country would not be run by a military regime but by a civilian government. Randrianirina has denied that the takeover was a coup, pointing to the court's backing. He stated the army intervened to "avoid anarchy and disorder," thanking the […]

Africa Needs $250bn for Climate Goals, Says Kenyan Envoy

The Kenyan High Commissioner to Nigeria, Isaac Parashina, has stated that Africa requires $250 billion to meet its climate change goals, a target for which current funding falls drastically short. Speaking at a climate forum in Abuja, the envoy emphasized that the continent's main challenge is a lack of financial resources, not vision. He called for equitable access to global climate finance to ensure investments translate into measurable impact. Parashina highlighted that the transition gaps are not only financial but also institutional, technological, and managerial. He pointed to Kenya's own success in geothermal energy as an example of what can be achieved with policy continuity and a supportive regulatory environment. The envoy also stressed the need for greater collaboration between African nations, suggesting that Kenya and Nigeria have significant potential for cooperation in renewable energy and green technology.

Nigeria’s World Cup Hopes Boosted by CAF Rule Change

Nigeria's chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup have received a significant boost due to a rule change by the Confederation of African Football (CAF). The adjustment was made after Eritrea's withdrawal from the competition, which left some groups with only five teams. To ensure fairness, CAF has decided that when determining the best runners-up, results against the bottom-placed team in each group will not be counted. This change benefits Nigeria, as the points they earned against the current bottom team in their group would be excluded from the final calculation for the runner-up ranking. This improves their standing compared to other second-place teams. The Super Eagles now have a clearer path to qualification as they prepare for their upcoming matches against Lesotho and Benin, aiming to secure a spot in the World Cup after missing the 2022 […]

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.

LGBTQ community fears crackdown after Burkina Faso law

Members of Burkina Faso’s LGBTQ community say a new law criminalising same-sex relationships has pushed them further into hiding, raising fears of a “witch hunt.” The legislation, adopted this month by the country’s ruling junta, introduces penalties of up to five years in prison and fines for those convicted of “homosexual practices.” It is part of a new family code but has not yet come into effect. Quentin, a young gay man whose name has been changed for safety, told AFP the law could embolden people to target LGBTQ individuals.“With this law, there will be no more respite. People will feel it’s their mission to track down gay people,” he said. Other community members echoed these concerns, warning that the law could fuel public hostility. Before the legislation, many LGBTQ people already hid their identities to avoid stigma and family […]
