AFCON knockout stage raises stakes for Super Eagles and rivals

The Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco has entered the knockout phase, shifting from cautious group stage management to all or nothing football as the Round of 16 begins this weekend.​For Nigeria and other contenders, every decision, mistake and moment now carries far greater weight than early group form.​ Nigeria head into the knockouts as one of the most impressive sides after a perfect group record, free scoring performances and effective squad rotation that secured qualification with a game to spare.​However, a late scare in their 3 2 win over Tunisia underlined how quickly control can slip at this stage and how fine the margins now are.​ Algeria also progressed with maximum points, showing a level of control they lacked in recent editions, while Egypt relied on structure and efficiency to get through.​By contrast, defending champions Côte d’Ivoire and perennial […]

Togo : équilibre diplomatique entre France et Russie

Le Togo tente de tirer parti de ses relations avec la France et la Russie, tout en conservant sa liberté d’action régionale. Après l’échec du coup d’État au Bénin le 7 décembre, le chef rebelle Pascal Tigri aurait trouvé refuge temporaire au Togo avant de se rendre probablement au Burkina Faso ou au Niger. Le rôle exact du Togo dans cette affaire reste flou, illustrant sa capacité à naviguer habilement entre partenaires internationaux concurrents sous la direction de Faure Gnassingbé. Lomé entretient des liens prudents avec le Bénin tout en affichant un soutien ouvert à certains régimes militaires sahéliens dissidents, notamment au Burkina Faso, au Niger et au Mali. Cette diplomatie équilibrée rappelle à la France que le Togo a d’autres options internationales. En octobre, Faure Gnassingbé s’est rendu à Paris pour rencontrer Emmanuel Macron, avant de se rendre trois […]

Questions trail NAF aircraft’s onward flight to Portugal

Fresh questions have emerged over the onward journey of the Nigerian Air Force C 130 aircraft that made an emergency landing in Burkina Faso while heading to Portugal for maintenance. Although officials earlier said the plane and its 11 man crew had been cleared to continue their mission, there is still no clear public confirmation on when it actually departed Bobo Dioulasso for Europe.​ The aircraft was on a ferry mission to Portugal on 8 December when the crew detected a technical fault after takeoff from Lagos and carried out a precautionary landing in Bobo Dioulasso, in line with international aviation safety procedures. Burkina Faso authorities subsequently held the plane and personnel, claiming an airspace violation, which triggered a diplomatic row and heightened regional tensions.​ Following high level talks in Ouagadougou led by Nigeria’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Yusuf Tuggar, the […]

NAF denies espionage claims over C-130 landing in Burkina Faso

The Nigerian Air Force has rejected reports that its C-130 transport aircraft currently in Burkina Faso was engaged in espionage or was forced to land by Burkinabe authorities. In a detailed clarification, NAF described the claims circulating online as false, misleading and capable of inflaming public sentiment and straining regional relations.​ According to the statement, the C-130 was on a duly approved ferry flight from Lagos to Portugal for scheduled depot maintenance when the crew observed a technical issue on 8 December 2025.

NAF aircraft in Burkina Faso was on ferry mission, not covert operation
