Elikem Kotoko Wants Akufo-Addo Prosecuted Over National Cathedral ‘Organised Crime’ Allegations

Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Forestry Commission, Elikem Kotoko, says he would welcome the sight of former President Nana Akufo-Addo being “hauled to court” over what he describes as financial irregularities and organised corruption linked to the construction of the National Cathedral. Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show, Kotoko accused the former president of masterminding what he called “an organised crime unit set up to siphon or launder state funds” under the guise of a religious project. “Let me be frank with you, if wishes were horses, I would be happy to see even former president Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo being hauled to court to answer for that hole he dug, which seems to be an organised crime unit that he set up to siphon or launder state funds,” he said. Kotoko drew a sharp contrast between Akufo-Addo’s actions and […]

Minority Yet to Decide on Vetting of Acting Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie

The Minority in Parliament says it has not yet decided whether to participate in the vetting of Acting Chief Justice, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, amid ongoing controversy over the removal of former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo. Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin stated that his caucus is “keeping all options open” as it closely observes developments related to what he described as serious procedural breaches by the Justice Pwamang Committee, which recommended Justice Torkornoo’s removal. “To deal with the issue of the CJ’s removal, whether or not we are going to participate in any process — for us, all cards are on the table,” Afenyo-Markin said. He accused the committee of undermining due process and delivering what he called “a travesty of justice.” “What that committee has done — the purported recommendation — should prick their own conscience, all the committee members,” he […]

 Bolivia Elects New President to Tackle Worst Economic Crisis

Bolivians have elected center-right economist Rodrigo Paz as their new president to lead the country through its worst economic crisis in 40 years. Paz, who will take office on November 8, faces major challenges, including 23% inflation, a severe shortage of US dollars, and chronic fuel shortages. His plan involves slashing public spending and moving away from two decades of socialist policies. However, economists warn that these tough measures could risk triggering social unrest in a country that remains deeply divided. The new president will also have to navigate a fragmented parliament, where his party lacks an outright majority, forcing him to build consensus to govern effectively. Despite being barred from the election, former socialist president Evo Morales remains a influential and potentially destabilizing figure. His supporters have warned they will mobilize against the new government if it fails to […]

Army Colonel Sworn In as Madagascar President After Military Takeover

An army colonel, Michael Randrianirina, has been sworn in as the new president of Madagascar. This follows a military takeover that forced former president Andry Rajoelina to flee the country. The swearing-in ceremony took place in the capital, Antananarivo, just days after Colonel Randrianirina's army unit mutinied and sided with anti-government protesters. The constitutional court then impeached Rajoelina for "desertion of duty." In his speech, the new president called the event a "historic turning point" and promised to break from the past. He pledged to draft a new constitution and hold elections within 18 to 24 months. He insisted the country would not be run by a military regime but by a civilian government. Randrianirina has denied that the takeover was a coup, pointing to the court's backing. He stated the army intervened to "avoid anarchy and disorder," thanking the […]

 Morocco Student Gets One-Year Jail Term for Protest Role

A Moroccan student has been sentenced to one year in prison for his involvement in the recent youth-led protests, marking the first known jail term linked to the demonstrations. The student was convicted on charges of participating in an unauthorized gathering and insulting judicial police by providing false information. His lawyer has denounced the ruling as "unfair" and plans to appeal. The protests, organized by the anonymous "GenZ 212" collective, began in late September. They were initially sparked by the deaths of eight pregnant women at a hospital but have since expanded to demand broader social and political reforms. Human rights groups report that approximately 550 people are facing prosecution in connection with the protests, with many still in detention.

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 […]

Trump Urges Pardon for Netanyahu in Corruption Trial

US President Donald Trump has publicly called for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be pardoned from his ongoing corruption trials. Speaking before the Israeli parliament, Trump dismissed the charges, which allege Netanyahu accepted over $260,000 in luxury gifts like cigars and champagne in exchange for political favors. "Cigars and champagne, who the hell cares about that?" Trump joked, before directly suggesting the Israeli president grant a pardon. Netanyahu has denied all wrongdoing, and his supporters claim the trials are politically motivated. The Israeli president had previously hinted he might consider a pardon, stating the case "weighs heavily on Israeli society." Trump, who has faced his own legal challenges, has frequently defended Netanyahu, previously calling the investigations a "political witch hunt" similar to his own.

Beijing Residents Dismiss Trump’s Tariff Threats

People in Beijing have reacted with calm and defiance to US President Donald Trump’s latest threat to impose steep new tariffs on Chinese imports. Speaking to AFP on Saturday, residents said they were not worried about the move and viewed it as another unpredictable gesture from the former US leader. Trump announced on Friday that the United States would impose an additional 100 percent tariff on all Chinese imports starting November 1, or earlier. He also cast doubt on a possible meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The new tariffs, he said, were a response to Beijing’s export restrictions on rare-earth materials, which are crucial for high-tech industries. Chinese authorities have not yet issued an official response. The ministries of foreign affairs and commerce declined to comment when approached by AFP. “I felt nothing when I saw the news,” said […]
