Sudan has officially severed diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), accusing the Gulf state of backing the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the country’s ongoing civil war.

Ghana, long hailed as a stable democracy in West Africa, is increasingly witnessing murmurs of tribal and regional discontent. From renewed tensions in Bawku between Mamprusi and Kusasi, to clashes in parts of the Savanna region, and even the simmering unease between Asantes and Dormaa in the Bono enclave, questions are emerging about whether the country’s current unitary system can effectively manage its diversity. At the heart of these debates lie two sensitive issues: language and resource distribution. More than 80 percent of Ghanaians can speak and understand Asante Twi, an Akan dialect widely used in schools, churches, marketplaces, and…

Amnesty International has issued a grave warning over what it describes as a rapidly deteriorating global human rights environment, citing the continued ripple effects of the so-called “Trump effect” as having emboldened oppressive tactics and accelerated rights violations around the world.

Across the continent, Amnesty reports that civilian populations are increasingly caught in the crossfire of deadly military…
