INEC urges Nigerians to register as CVR closes today

INEC has ruled out any further extension of the nationwide CVR, insisting that voter registration will end today, Sunday 26 July 2026, after a two‑week grace period added earlier this month. The exercise, which began in August 2025 and resumed for its final phase in May, is the last opportunity for new voters to join the register ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Registration centres and INEC offices nationwide are scheduled to operate from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., including weekends.

Bolivia’s president declares state of emergency after weeks of protests

Bolivia's President Rodrigo Paz has declared a nationwide state of emergency to free the country's roads from blockades after over six weeks of protests demanding his resignation. Paz announced the emergency measure early Saturday, stating it is to give freedom back to the people and liberate Bolivia from those using political conflict to block roads and harm the population. The president called the situation an organized attempt to destabilize democracy, saying the decision came after exhausting all avenues of dialogue. The emergency declaration gives Paz expanded constitutional powers to restore order, including the option to deploy armed forces to dismantle blockades. The order is effective immediately, but Paz must inform Congress within 24 hours, and Congress has up to 72 hours to endorse or dismiss the declaration. The conflict erupted in May after Paz scrapped two-decade-old fuel subsidies, causing gas […]

Togo: Call for Integrity Over Power Longevity

Dans une tribune engagée, le journaliste togolais Rodrigue Ahégo critique avec vigueur la tendance à mesurer le succès politique uniquement à la durée passée au pouvoir. Il y voit une dérive profonde de la vie publique, marquée par une quête de longévité dépourvue de sens et de valeurs. S’appuyant sur une réflexion attribuée à Abraham Lincoln, il rappelle que l’essentiel ne réside pas dans la quantité d’années vécues, mais dans leur contenu. Dans ce cadre, il dénonce une scène politique togolaise dominée, selon lui, par des logiques de conservation du pouvoir plutôt que par une véritable volonté de servir le bien commun. L’auteur évoque une crise morale où les institutions et les pratiques sociales seraient fragilisées par des comportements opportunistes. Il estime que la longévité politique est devenue une stratégie de maintien, au détriment de l’éthique et de la responsabilité. […]
