Lassa Fever: Medical Academy Demands Action as Deaths Hit 204

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) has confirmed that Lassa fever has killed 204 people in Nigeria in 2026, prompting the Nigerian Academy of Medicine to demand urgent government action as the fatality rate worsens.

Members warned that the current trend threatens Nigeria's public health security and […]

Littoral togolais : les comités locaux en alerte

Pour renforcer la sécurité de son littoral et lutter contre les activités illicites en mer, le Togo mise sur des comités de gestion locale (COGEL) installés à des points stratégiques tels que Kodjoviakopé, Ablogamé, le port de pêche de Lomé, Avépozo, Kpogan, Gbodjomé et Goumoukopé. Ces comités collaborent étroitement avec les forces de défense et de sécurité. Leur mission : observer, signaler et transmettre rapidement toute situation suspecte aux autorités compétentes. Au port de pêche de Lomé, le dispositif fonctionne pleinement. Komlan Solété Koudjagbo, président du COGEL local, explique : « Chaque pirogue est enregistrée et les pêcheurs identifiés. Si une embarcation semble suspecte, nous alertons immédiatement la gendarmerie. Plusieurs infractions ont ainsi été évitées. » Le système repose sur une organisation discrète mais efficace. Les membres sont positionnés le long de la côte et sur les sites d’embarquement pour détecter toute […]

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 […]
