Tanzania’s Hassan Wins Landslide Amid Deadly Post-Election Protests

Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan has won a landslide re-election, securing 97.66 percent of the vote, according to official results released on Saturday. However, the victory has been overshadowed by days of deadly protests and allegations of a violent government crackdown. The Tanzania Electoral Commission announced the result on state television, stating that Hassan dominated every constituency. A swift swearing-in ceremony was scheduled for later on Saturday, the broadcaster added. The main opposition party, Chadema, was barred from participating in the election after its leader was charged with treason. The party accused security forces of killing hundreds of protesters since demonstrations erupted on election day, Wednesday, across major cities including Dar es Salaam and Arusha. Chadema’s spokesman told AFP that around 700 people had been killed, citing figures collected from hospitals and clinics. A security source and a Western diplomat […]

Mahama Warns Unregulated AI Threatens Global Information Integrity

President John Dramani Mahama has warned that the rapid and unregulated expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) poses a serious threat to global information integrity, cautioning that it could fuel misinformation and distort public discourse if left unchecked. Speaking at the International Conference on Information Integrity in Paris, Mahama said AI-powered tools such as deepfakes and algorithmic manipulation are reshaping how people perceive truth, making it increasingly difficult to separate fact from fiction. “If we’re to build a sustainable planet, we must also build an informed public,” he said. “The dawn of artificial intelligence has transformed the information landscape. While AI offers immense opportunities for innovation, it also amplifies the risk of misinformation and economic disruption.” The Ghanaian leader emphasized the need for collective global action to ensure that technology serves humanity rather than undermines it. “Deepfakes, synthetic media, and algorithmic […]

Tanzania Votes as President Samia Suluhu Hassan Heads for Easy Re-Election

Voters across Tanzania are heading to the polls on Wednesday to elect a new president, parliament, and local councillors. But despite the appearance of a competitive race, few doubt the outcome: President Samia Suluhu Hassan is expected to win comfortably, extending the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party’s six-decade hold on power. The CCM—known as the Party of the Revolution—has governed Tanzania uninterrupted for 64 years. And while multiple candidates are listed on the ballot, analysts and rights groups say the field has been heavily tilted in favor of the incumbent. “This election is more of a coronation than a contest,” said political analyst Joseph Mwaipopo. “The opposition has been systematically weakened, leaving voters with little real choice.” Opposition Silenced Before the Vote Human rights organizations have reported widespread intimidation of opposition figures, activists, and journalists ahead of the election.

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 […]

Millions Join ‘No Kings’ Anti-Trump Protests Across US Cities

Millions of Americans participated in "No Kings" protests across major US cities, voicing strong opposition to President Donald Trump's policies and his expansion of presidential power. The large but peaceful demonstrations took place in New York, Washington DC, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Protesters held signs with slogans like "Democracy not Monarchy," expressing concern that the administration's actions are a threat to American democracy. Since returning to office, President Trump has used executive orders to dismantle parts of the federal government and deploy National Guard troops to cities against the wishes of state governors. Protesters say these moves are unconstitutional. In a pre-taped interview, Trump responded to the rallies, stating, "I'm not a king." Prominent Democratic politicians, including Senator Bernie Sanders, joined the protests. Sanders told a crowd in Washington DC, "We're not here because we hate America, we're here because […]

UNYF Urges INEC Chair to Remove Barriers to PVC Collection

The Unified Nigeria Youth Forum (UNYF) has urged the newly appointed Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, to prioritise accessibility, transparency, and accountability in managing Nigeria’s electoral process. In a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja, the Forum’s National President, Comrade Toriah Olajide Filani, said the credibility of future elections depends largely on how inclusive and accessible voter registration and Permanent Voter Card (PVC) collection become under the new leadership. Filani expressed concern that millions of eligible Nigerians remain unable to obtain their PVCs due to administrative bottlenecks and limited access to registration centres, especially in rural areas. “Despite the introduction of digital systems, many citizens lack internet access or the infrastructure to benefit,” he said. “In Lagos, for example, people queue as early as 2:00 a.m. just to register, yet many still leave […]

Cameroon Opposition Leader Issa Tchiroma Declares Victory Before Official Results

In a nearly five-minute video statement posted on social media early Tuesday, Tchiroma proclaimed himself the winner and urged President Paul Biya, the 92-year-old incumbent, to concede defeat. “The people have chosen, and this choice must be respected,” he said in the video, calling on Cameroonians to defend what he described as a “historic transition.” However, the government quickly cautioned that only the Constitutional Council has the legal authority to declare results. The body has up to two weeks to release the official outcome. Tchiroma, once a government spokesman and close ally of Biya for two decades, resigned in June to mount a challenge. His campaign drew massive crowds and endorsements from a coalition of opposition groups — making him the strongest challenger Biya has faced in years. Despite this, analysts widely expected Biya — Africa’s longest-serving leader with 43 […]

Madagascar President Dissolves Parliament Amid Political Crisis

Madagascar’s embattled President Andry Rajoelina has issued a decree dissolving the National Assembly, in a last-ditch attempt to stave off a political collapse as pressure mounts for his resignation. The president, who has reportedly fled the country, announced the decree on social media on Tuesday — just hours before lawmakers were expected to hold an impeachment vote against him. The political climate remains tense, with sections of the military and police now backing mass protests demanding that Rajoelina step down. According to a statement released by the presidency on Facebook, the decree “shall enter into force immediately upon its publication by radio and/or television broadcast.” Rajoelina defended his action in a separate online post, calling it a move to “restore order within our nation and strengthen democracy.” However, opposition leader Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko, who was leading the impeachment effort, dismissed the […]
