Immigration, Natasha trade words over passport drama

The Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, on Tuesday accused immigration officials at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, of seizing her international passport and briefly preventing her from travelling abroad. In a Facebook Live video obtained on Tuesday, the lawmaker was seen confronting immigration personnel over what she described as an unlawful restriction of movement and a violation of her fundamental rights. She recalled experiencing a similar situation in the past where she was stopped from travelling abroad, despite having no pending legal case or court order barring her from leaving the country. “Hello, fellow Nigerians. I’m Senator Natasha. Having completed my second year in office, I decided to take a week off. I’m at the airport here, and my passport has been withheld again.This same thing happened before when I was stopped from travelling even though I had […]

Tanzania lifts curfew and eases internet blackout after post-election violence

Tanzania has begun easing restrictions imposed after last week’s violent elections, with authorities lifting a nationwide curfew and partially restoring internet access. The move comes after days of unrest that the opposition says left hundreds dead. The electoral commission declared President Samia Suluhu Hassan the winner of the October 29 election with 98 percent of the vote, a result the opposition party Chadema dismissed as a “sham.” An AFP correspondent reported a slow return to normalcy in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday. Many residents cautiously resumed daily activities, though fear of renewed violence remained. “I hope violence will not come again,” said Rehema Shehoza, a 32-year-old food vendor. “Some of us would die from hunger because I need to get out for work to get my daily bread.” Police confirmed the lifting of the curfew imposed on election day, and […]

Samia Suluhu Hassan Wins with 98% of Votes Amid Opposition Ban and Deadly Protests

Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan has been officially declared the winner of the country’s presidential election, securing 97.66 percent of the vote, according to the National Electoral Commission. The announcement, made on Saturday, confirmed Hassan’s landslide victory after her main rivals were barred from contesting. State media reported that her swearing-in ceremony would take place later in the day. The election, held on Wednesday, was marred by widespread unrest and allegations of political repression. Opposition supporters took to the streets of major cities to denounce what they described as a rigged process and the exclusion of key challengers, leading to violent confrontations with security forces. Witnesses told reporters that police used tear gas and live ammunition to disperse crowds, while protesters set fire to government buildings and tore down campaign banners. The opposition party Chadema, which was barred from participating, […]

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 […]

Tanzania protests erupt after disputed election as police clash with demonstrators in Dar es Salaam

Hundreds of demonstrators clashed with police in Tanzania’s commercial capital, Dar es Salaam, for a third consecutive day on Friday, demanding that the national electoral commission halt the release of election results after a chaotic and contested vote. The protests erupted amid a government crackdown that has included military deployment and a near-total internet shutdown. On Thursday, security forces fired tear gas and live ammunition at protesters in the Mbagala, Gongo la Mboto, and Kiluvya neighbourhoods as residents defied a government-imposed curfew. According to reports, several vehicles, police posts, and even a petrol station were set ablaze as anger boiled over. Amnesty International said at least two people have been killed since the demonstrations began earlier in the week. The violence broke out following Wednesday’s general election, which many Tanzanians and rights groups have condemned as unfair and restrictive. President […]

Sudan’s el-Fasher falls to RSF as fighter recounts killings and desperate escape

For 550 days, Abubakr Ahmed risked his life defending el-Fasher, the last major army stronghold in Sudan’s Darfur region, from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). As a member of the “popular resistance” — a local group backing the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) — he fought to keep the city from falling. That battle ended on October 26, when el-Fasher finally fell to the RSF after months of siege and relentless fighting. According to SAF leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the army’s surrender was meant to prevent a large-scale massacre, allowing troops to retreat safely. But the withdrawal left about 250,000 trapped civilians at the mercy of RSF fighters. Ahmed, 29, said he barely made it out alive. During the final hours of combat, a rocket-propelled grenade exploded near a car close to him, spraying shrapnel into his abdomen. “I was lucky […]

Coalition faults push for Sharia law, cites breach of 1999 constitution

A coalition of civil rights and faith-based organisations has condemned renewed efforts to expand the implementation of Sharia law in Nigeria, describing it as a violation of the 1999 Constitution and a threat to national unity and human rights. The coalition, operating under the banner End Sharia Now, includes groups such as One Nation One Law, Global Network of Christian Faith and Truth, and Love a Muslim Ministry. In a statement signed by Benson Sunday on Wednesday, the coalition said attempts to institutionalise Sharia beyond personal faith practices contradict the Constitution’s secular foundation. Responding to comments from some Islamic scholars who argued that there was “no justification for opposing Sharia in Nigeria,” the coalition cited sections 10 and 42 of the 1999 Constitution, which prohibit the adoption of any state religion and guarantee equality of all citizens regardless of faith.

Over 60 Nations Sign UN Cybercrime Treaty Amid Rights Concerns

More than 60 countries have signed a new United Nations treaty to combat cybercrime, creating the first global framework for international cooperation on digital offenses. The signing ceremony took place in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Saturday. The treaty aims to help nations work together to fight crimes like online scams, child sexual abuse material, and digital money laundering. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called the signing an "important milestone" in addressing crimes that "drain billions of dollars from our economy." However, the treaty faces strong opposition from human rights groups and major technology companies. Critics warn that its broad definitions of cybercrime could be misused by governments to increase surveillance, suppress dissent, and target journalists and political opponents. The treaty, first proposed by Russia in 2017, was approved by the UN last year after lengthy negotiations. While it includes some human rights […]

Police Arrest Activist Sowore at Abuja Court Premises

Activist and politician Omoyele Sowore was arrested by armed policemen on Thursday within the premises of the Federal High Court in Abuja. The arrest occurred shortly after he attended a court session in solidarity with the detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Police officers stated they were acting on the instructions of the Commissioner of Police and took him to the FCT Police Command. The Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, later explained that the arrest was linked to a protest Sowore led on Monday. Hundeyin stated that Sowore was arrested as the alleged leader of the protest to ensure "fairness," as others involved had already been charged. He assured that Sowore would be arraigned quickly and not detained beyond the legal limit. Sowore's lawyer condemned the arrest, calling it a mockery of the judicial system.

Report Says 1944 French Massacre of African Soldiers Was Premeditated

A new official report has revealed that the 1944 massacre of African soldiers by French colonial forces in Senegal was a premeditated and carefully covered-up operation, with the true death toll likely far higher than previously admitted. French authorities at the time claimed that at least 35 World War II veterans were killed at the Thiaroye camp near Dakar after they protested unpaid wages. However, a committee of researchers has found that between 300 and 400 soldiers were likely killed in what it called a “meticulously planned” attack. The 301-page report, submitted to Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye on Thursday, urged France to “officially request forgiveness” from the families and communities of the victims. Around 1,300 African troops from several West African countries had been sent to the Thiaroye camp in November 1944 after being released from German captivity, where […]
