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 […]

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 […]

Angry youths attack politicians at Jigawa road project event

Tension erupted in Tarabu village, Kirikasamma Local Government Area of Jigawa State, on Wednesday when angry youths attacked top politicians during the flag-off of a road construction project by Governor Umar Namadi Danmodi. The event, held to launch a 23.4-kilometre road from Tarabu to Gafta, turned violent shortly after the ceremony. The youths reportedly threw stones at government vehicles, including those in the governor’s convoy, damaging several cars belonging to officials and police officers. Those who narrowly escaped harm included the Chairman of Kirikasamma Local Government Council, Alhaji Muhammad Maji, and Hon. Abubakar Fulata, who represents the Guri/Kirikasamma/Birniwa Federal Constituency. According to witnesses, the attack was triggered by anger toward Hon. Fulata, whom residents accused of neglecting his constituency and failing to initiate projects for his people. The youths compared his performance unfavourably to that of lawmakers from neighbouring areas. […]

US pushes plan to disarm Hamas and rebuild Gaza

An Ivory Coast court has sentenced 32 people to three years in prison for taking part in banned protests held earlier this month, just days before the country’s presidential election. The verdict was delivered on Tuesday, four days before the vote, as tensions rise between the government and opposition supporters. The protests were organized after opposition leaders Laurent Gbagbo and Tidjane Thiam were barred from running against President Alassane Ouattara, who is seeking a fourth term at age 83. The defendants were convicted of “disturbing public order” and “assembling on public roadways.” Last week, about 30 other protesters received similar sentences. Authorities have banned all demonstrations, citing threats to public safety. Public prosecutor Oumar Braman Kone said some protests amounted to “acts of terrorism” and argued that “the freedom to demonstrate cannot be confused with disorder.” Defence lawyers argued there […]

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 […]

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 […]

Madagascar President Warns of Attempted Power Seizure

Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina has warned that an “attempt to seize power illegally and by force” is underway, following reports that a group of soldiers joined anti-government protests in the capital, Antananarivo. The warning came on Sunday, a day after soldiers stationed on the outskirts of the city called on security forces to “join forces” and “refuse orders to shoot” at protesters, denouncing the violent crackdown on ongoing demonstrations. The protests, led mostly by young people, have continued for over two weeks, sparked by frustration over power and water shortages across the country. On Saturday, soldiers clashed with gendarmes outside their barracks before riding into Antananarivo on army vehicles to join thousands of demonstrators gathered at the symbolic Place du 13 Mai in front of the city hall. The crowd reportedly cheered their arrival and chanted calls for President Rajoelina […]

Madagascar Soldiers Urge Army to Defy Orders Against Protesters

A group of soldiers from a military base near Madagascar’s capital, Antananarivo, has called on fellow troops and security forces to reject any orders to shoot at protesters. The message, shared in a video on Saturday morning, came as thousands of demonstrators marched in the city. “Let us unite — soldiers, gendarmes, and police — and refuse to be paid to shoot our friends, our brothers, and our sisters,” the soldiers from the Soanierana base said in the video. They urged colleagues across the country to “refuse orders to shoot” and “close the gates” of their camps until further notice. The soldiers also warned others not to follow commands from superiors who might order violence against protesters, adding, “Those who give such orders will not care for our families if we die.” It remains unclear how many soldiers have joined […]

UK Minister Condemns ‘Tolerance’ of Radical Islamism

UK Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch has strongly condemned what she called the "tolerance" of radical Islamism, following the recent attack on a Manchester synagogue. Speaking at the Conservative Party conference, Badenoch criticized pro-Palestinian protests, describing some as "carnivals of hatred" and stating that slogans like "globalise the Intifada" target Jewish people for violence. She emphasized that while people are free to express their beliefs, they cannot turn British streets into "theatres of intimidation." Her comments come as the government introduces new laws to grant police increased powers to manage frequent protests, which resulted in nearly 500 arrests over the weekend. Badenoch outlined plans to allow police to impose restrictions based on the frequency of demonstrations, addressing what ministers see as a gap in current legislation. She also took aim at political rivals, accusing the Labour and Reform parties of promoting […]

Trump Sends 300 National Guard Troops to Chicago as Tensions Rise

President Donald Trump has approved the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago, citing what he described as spiraling violence and chaos in the city. The decision came shortly after immigration authorities reported a confrontation with protesters that ended in gunfire. Officials said agents opened fire on an armed woman after demonstrators rammed law enforcement vehicles with their cars. Local and state leaders in Illinois swiftly condemned the move, accusing Trump of exploiting the situation for political gain. Governor JB Pritzker denounced the deployment as “an attempt to manufacture a crisis.” Meanwhile, a separate legal battle unfolded in Oregon, where a federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from sending 200 federal troops to Portland. Judge Karin Immergut said the president’s justification for the deployment was “untethered to the facts” and violated constitutional limits. Immergut ruled that the federal […]
