Nigerians Stuck in Ethiopian Prisons as Repatriation Deal Stalls

Dozens of Nigerians remain imprisoned in Ethiopia due to a stalled repatriation agreement, with the Nigerian government blaming Ethiopian authorities for the delay. The crucial Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which would allow convicted Nigerians to serve their sentences in Nigeria, has been ready on the Nigerian side but is awaiting ratification by the Ethiopian government. The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, confirmed that Nigeria has "fulfilled its own side of the formalities," and the holdup is from "the Ethiopian side." Reports from 2023 indicated over 270 Nigerians were in Ethiopian prisons, mostly for drug offences. Advocacy groups are raising alarms about the "deplorable" conditions, alleging inadequate food, medical neglect, and brutal treatment. Ambassador Onwuka Collins of the My Dreamalive Development Foundation stated that some inmates have already died from illness and the harsh conditions, urging for […]

Nigeria’s Mahmoud Ben-Tukur Re-Elected to ICAO Council

Nigeria has scored a major diplomatic win with the re-election of Engr. Mahmoud Ben-Tukur into Part II of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Council at the ongoing 42nd ICAO Assembly in Montreal, Canada. Ben-Tukur, Nigeria’s Representative to ICAO, secured 163 out of 185 votes, defeating 11 other African nations in a highly contested election. His victory cements Nigeria’s continued role in shaping global aviation governance. With this result, Nigeria joins 11 other countries re-elected into Part II of the ICAO Council, including Egypt and South Africa from the African bloc. A statement signed by Tunde Moshood, Special Assistant on Media to the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, described the outcome as proof of Nigeria’s strong aviation diplomacy and global alliances. Nigeria’s delegation to the Assembly was led by Minister Festus Keyamo, who spearheaded an intensive campaign in support […]

Nigeria Grants Visa-Free Entry to St. Kitts & Nevis

Nigeria has granted visa-free entry to citizens of St. Kitts & Nevis, effective September 26, 2025, marking the first time the policy extends beyond Africa. The waiver, which applies to ordinary, official, and diplomatic passports, is aimed at strengthening trade, investment, and cultural ties between the two nations. Until now, Nigeria’s visa-free access largely covered ECOWAS states, with Cameroon and Chad as the only non-ECOWAS African countries enjoying the privilege. The development follows the Afri-Caribbean Investment Summit (AACIS ’25) held in Abuja earlier this year, organised by Aquarian Consult Limited (ACL). ACL’s Managing Director, Aisha Maina, said: “This visa waiver is more than diplomacy; it is about opening doors for trade, investment, and cultural exchange. At ACL, we are proud to have played a role in turning dialogue into action.” Diplomatic ties between Nigeria and St. Kitts & Nevis have […]

Trump and Putin Align on Europe as Ukraine Peace Talks Stall

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin appear to be finding common ground again, with both leaders turning their focus toward Europe amid stalled diplomatic efforts to end the war in Ukraine. Their positions converge just three weeks after their high-profile but largely unproductive summit in Alaska. On Thursday, Trump urged European leaders to take on more responsibility in handling the Ukraine crisis. Ironically, most of the ongoing diplomatic movement has come from Europe itself, as transatlantic allies work to design long-term security guarantees for Ukraine in the event of a peace agreement. The US president’s latest comments follow his announcement that he intends to speak with Putin again soon to determine “what we’re going to be doing.” Trump avoided confirming whether the US would impose severe direct sanctions on Russia if Moscow continues to stall peace talks, saying only: “Whatever his […]

Trump Envoy Arrives in Russia Seeking to Rekindle Ukraine War Talks

A high-profile envoy linked to former U.S. President Donald Trump has arrived in Moscow in a controversial bid to revive stalled negotiations over the Russia-Ukraine war, reigniting debates about America’s role in the conflict and the feasibility of diplomacy amid escalating hostilities. The envoy, whose identity remains undisclosed, reportedly aims to broker backchannel talks between Russian officials and Western allies, though skepticism abounds over the mission’s legitimacy and potential outcomes. The surprise visit comes as Ukraine’s counteroffensive efforts face logistical and tactical challenges, and international support for Kyiv shows signs of strain. While the Biden administration and NATO allies continue to emphasize military and financial aid to Ukraine, Trump-aligned figures have increasingly criticized the prolonged conflict, advocating for a negotiated settlement. Critics argue, however, that Trump’s envoy lacks formal U.S. government authority, raising questions about Moscow’s willingness to engage with […]

Trump Has a Lot to Offer, Even Without a Ukraine Deal

President Trump says he is focused on stopping the “death march” in Ukraine “as soon as possible.” But for President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, cease-fire talks with Mr. Trump are a means to much broader ends. Russian and American officials met in Saudi Arabia on Monday to deepen their negotiations about technical details of a partial cease-fire to halt attacks on energy facilities and on ships in the Black Sea. While Ukraine says it’s ready for a full truce, Mr. Putin has made it clear that he will seek a wide range of concessions first. The upshot: The Kremlin appears determined to squeeze as many benefits as possible from Mr. Trump’s desire for a Ukraine peace deal, even as it slow-walks the negotiations. Viewed from Moscow, better ties with Washington are an economic and geopolitical boon — one that may be […]

Plan to Return Russian Diplomats to U.S. Poses Espionage Risk

As it moves to transform U.S. relations with Russia, the Trump administration is talking with Moscow about readmitting potentially scores of Russian diplomats into the United States after years of expulsions. But the good-will gesture, which would be reciprocated by Moscow, could be a kind of Trojan horse, experts and diplomats warn, as the Kremlin is likely to dispatch spies posing as diplomats to restore its diminished espionage capabilities within the United States. U.S. and Russian officials met in Istanbul last month to discuss returning more diplomats to each other’s countries after years of tit-for-tat expulsions and the shuttering of diplomatic facilities. The midlevel talks, part of a rapid rapprochement between the Kremlin and the White House under President Trump, took place at the U.S. consul’s residence. Days earlier in Riyadh, a U.S. delegation headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio […]
