Johannesburg, South Africa — The Government of South Africa has issued a 72-hour ultimatum to the Israeli ambassador to depart the country, marking a significant escalation in diplomatic tensions between the two states amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. According to the South African Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO), the decision was taken in response to what it described as “systematic oppression and the killing of Palestinians by the State of Israel.”  Pretoria noted that the move aligned with its longstanding position advocating for the protection of human rights and adherence to international law. In a swift countermeasure, the Government of Israel announced the expulsion of South Africa’s ambassador from Tel Aviv, further deepening the diplomatic rift that has widened in recent months. South Africa has been among the most vocal critics of Israel’s military operations in Gaza, repeatedly calling on the international community to interven...

As the world marked World Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) Day on 30 January, the World Health Organization (WHO) has raised both optimism and concern over the global fight against these preventable and treatable illnesses that still affect some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. According to new WHO data, Neglected Tropical Diseases, NTDs continued to impact 1 billion people globally, largely in low-income and underserved populations. Despite this, significant progress had been recorded over the past decade. WHO reported that 1.4 billion people needed NTD interventions in 2024, representing a 36% decline since 2010—a major milestone reflecting sustained global health efforts. By early 2026, a total of 58 countries had successfully eliminated at least one NTD, bringing the world closer to WHO’s target of 100 countries free of at least one NTD by 2030. However, WHO warned that these hard-fought gains were now at risk due to funding cuts, which could slow or even re...

-A A Tijjani in Kano For months, rumours of a possible alliance between the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso dominated the political space. Meetings were held quietly, envoys were exchanged, and power brokers attempted to broker a deal that many believed would redefine Northern politics ahead of 2027. But in the end, the negotiations collapsed spectacularly — and the reasons stretch far deeper than the public statements suggest. This analysis breaks down the real forces, the hidden fears, and the political calculations that made the APC–Kwankwaso alliance impossible. 1. Kwankwaso’s Ambition vs. APC’s 2027 Roadmap At the core of the failed talks is a simple truth: Kwankwaso wants to be president, and APC already has a president. Sources say Kwankwaso insisted that any alliance must: Give him an open path to contest the 2027 presidential ticket, or Guarantee him strategic national influence. But with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu almost certa...

The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has made a strong call regarding the deteriorating budget of the UN, which he says is severely impacting the organization’s operations. In a concerned statement, Guterres attributed the problem to the United States’ withdrawal from its usual financial contributions, which has caused a major disruption in the UN’s work. Guterres explained that the United States, traditionally one of the largest contributors to the UN, has reduced or even suspended some of its funding. This situation is causing grave concern, as it is hindering vital operations related to peacekeeping, human rights protection, and development assistance to emerging nations. According to Guterres, the funding crisis is putting the UN in a precarious position, with the risk of undermining critical projects aimed at addressing conflicts, disease outbreaks, and hunger.  He stressed that if the financial issues continue, it could severely impair the UN's ...

A recent blog post on a tour company’s website has sparked controversy after it led tourists to a hot springs location in northern Tasmania that doesn’t actually exist. The blog, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), described a serene and “tranquil” destination as a must-visit, but it has since been revealed that the hot springs were entirely fictional. The post, which was promoted as part of the company’s travel recommendations, presented the hot springs as a hidden gem tucked away in the northern reaches of Tasmania, an area known for its stunning landscapes and natural beauty. Tourists flocked to the location based on the AI-generated description, eager to unwind in the peaceful waters the blog had promised. However, upon arrival, visitors were greeted by nothing but thick forest and the sound of rustling leaves, with no signs of any hot springs in sight. After extensive searches and inquiries, locals confirmed that no such hot springs have ever existed in the area. ...

Gusau, Zamfara – Today Hon. Shehu Ahmed, the Sarkin Fulanin Zamfara and former member of the National Assembly, expressed his praise for the Governor of Zamfara State, Hon. Dauda Lawal, for the new increase in allowances for National Youths Service Corpsembers serving in the state. The statement of appreciation was made during a press briefing with journalists in Gusau town. Hon. Shehu Ahmed stated that the allowance increase to 150,000 Naira is part of the steps Governor Dauda Lawal is taking to support youth and improve the well-being of the people. He commended the governor for his dedication to prioritizing the welfare of youths, highlighting how the governor is working tirelessly to move the state forward. According to the Sarkin Fulanin Zamfara, this step taken by the governor is no small feat, as no other governor in Nigeria has made such an allowance increase. He added that this demonstrates that the governor is not in politics to accumulate wealth but to work for t...

Anambra State, Nigeria – In a bold move, Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo has responded firmly to the growing concerns and criticisms surrounding his plans to potentially close down certain markets in the state, including the controversial Anambra Market.  The governor, who has been vocal about his vision to overhaul the state's infrastructure, emphasized that his actions are within the bounds of the law. During a recent address, Soludo fired back at those questioning the legal basis for his proposed market closures. "For those shouting 'show me the law where you can close our shops,' I want to say that they should be ready when I show it to them," Soludo declared. "I will also show them the law that empowers me to revoke that market and use it for whatever is better for the state." The governor did not stop there. He asserted that the power to revoke the market space and reallocate it for other public purposes—such as a government facility o...

London, UK — US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to the UK over its growing engagement with China, describing it as "very dangerous."  His comments come as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer continues his diplomatic visit to Beijing aimed at resetting relations between the two countries. Trump’s remarks, made in an interview, express deep concern over what he perceives as the risks of closer UK-China ties, particularly in the wake of heightened geopolitical tensions. The former president emphasized that China’s influence poses significant security challenges, not just for the United States but for its allies, including the UK. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Starmer, who arrived in Beijing earlier this week, has made it clear that the UK is seeking to strike a balance between economic engagement with China and ensuring the security and interests of the British people are protected. The Labour leader’s visit marks a pivotal moment in British foreign pol...

Abuja stood still today as Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi took his campaign to the heart of the Federal Capital Territory, drawing massive crowds and reigniting the “Obidient” movement with renewed energy. From early morning, supporters flooded major routes and campaign grounds across the FCT, waving party flags, chanting slogans, and echoing Obi’s signature message of accountability, competence, and people-centred leadership. The atmosphere was electric as youths, professionals, traders, and civil servants gathered to hear what many described as a “message of hope.” Speaking to supporters, Obi vowed to fix Nigeria’s broken economy, tackle insecurity head-on, and invest heavily in education, healthcare, and job creation. He stressed that leadership must be about service, not privilege, insisting that Nigeria has more than enough resources to work—if properly managed. “We can no longer afford waste, corruption, and excuses. Nigeria must work for everyone,” Obi...

The Nigerian Supreme Council for Shari’ah (SCSN) has declared that it will not recognize any election conducted under the leadership of the current Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Joash Amupitan, raising fresh concerns over electoral credibility and national unity. In a statement released by the Council, it accused the electoral umpire of failing to uphold transparency, neutrality, and constitutional principles expected of a democratic process. According to the Council, recent actions and decisions by INEC under its present leadership have eroded public confidence, particularly among segments of the population who feel marginalized by the system. “The integrity of elections is the foundation of democracy,” the statement said. “Any process perceived to be compromised cannot command legitimacy, and we cannot, in good conscience, recognize outcomes produced under such conditions.” The Council did not call for violence or civil disobe...

Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter has thrown his weight behind a proposed fan boycott of World Cup matches scheduled to be hosted in the United States, citing concerns over the conduct of President Donald Trump and his administration both at home and on the global stage. Blatter, who led world football’s governing body for nearly two decades, said the idea of fans staying away from matches was a form of peaceful protest aimed at drawing attention to political decisions and policies he believes run counter to the values of sport. According to him, football should unite people across borders, not be staged in an environment he described as increasingly divisive. The comments come as the United States prepares to host major World Cup matches as part of the expanded tournament, a role that places it at the center of global sporting attention. Calls for a boycott have emerged from activist groups and some football supporters who argue that hosting the tournament under the curre...

Nigeria is “sitting on a ticking time bomb,” and the brutal killing of a mother and her six children in Kano State is the clearest warning yet. This was the stark message from Prof. Mohammed Khalid Othman (MK Othman), Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Dutsinma, following the shocking Chiranchi massacre that has thrown the nation into grief and anger. In what many Nigerians now describe as one of the most disturbing crimes in recent years, a woman, Fatima Abubakar, and her six children were slaughtered in daylight in Kano. Even more horrifying, the prime suspect, Umar Auwal, is reportedly her own nephew. Other suspects are young people between the ages of 21 and 40 — a detail Prof. Othman says exposes the frightening collapse of family values, morality, and youth discipline in Nigeria. Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf branded the killings “barbaric and unacceptable,” while President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ordered full prosecution of those involved. But Prof. Othman insists the ...

Ankara, Türkiye – Tuesday, January 27, 2026 President Bola Ahmed Tinubu briefly lost his balance during an official welcome ceremony in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, where he is on a state visit with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.  Video footage from the ceremony shows President Tinubu momentarily missing his step and stumbling while inspecting a guard of honour alongside President Erdoğan.  The president quickly regained his balance, and the event continued without interruption.  The Presidency described the incident as a minor stumble, not a serious fall, and said there is no cause for health concern.  Presidential spokespersons and aides explained that the momentary loss of footing happened after the president stepped on a metal object/uneven surface, including reports mentioning a poorly laid carpet at the venue.  Officials stressed that the president remained fit and in good health, and urged the public not to sensationalize the incide...

Nigeria’s Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has confirmed that several military officers will soon be arraigned over an alleged plot to overthrow the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. According to the DHQ, the officers were arrested following intelligence reports and investigations carried out in late 2025, which pointed to plans aimed at destabilising the country and undermining the constitutional government. The arrests were kept largely out of public view while security agencies conducted a thorough probe into the matter. A senior defence source disclosed that the suspects are expected to face court-martial proceedings in line with military laws and regulations. The source stressed that the Nigerian Armed Forces remain loyal to the constitution and the democratically elected government. “The Armed Forces will not tolerate acts of indiscipline, subversion or disloyalty within its ranks. Anyone found culpable will face the full weight of the law,” the official said. ...

January 26, 2026 CARACAS — Venezuela’s acting president Delcy Rodríguez delivered a significant rebuke to the United States, declaring that her nation has had “enough” of taking orders from Washington as Caracas navigates the aftermath of the dramatic capture of former leader Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces. Speaking to oil workers in Puerto La Cruz, Rodríguez said the country has endured too much foreign interference and stressed that Venezuelans must resolve their own political differences without external dictates.  “Enough already of Washington’s orders over politicians in Venezuela. Let Venezuelan politics resolve our differences and internal conflicts,” she said in remarks broadcast on state television.  Her comments mark one of the firmest public challenges yet from Rodríguez against U.S. influence since she assumed leadership earlier this month after a U.S. military operation in Caracas resulted in the capture of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire — President Alassane Ouattara has appointed his brother, Téné Birahima Ouattara, as the country’s Vice Prime Minister, a move that has quickly stirred political debate and public discussion across Côte d’Ivoire, as part of a broader reshuffle within the federal government aimed at strengthening coordination in key sectors of governance.  Téné Birahima Ouattara, a long-time political ally of the president and a senior figure in the ruling party, previously served as Minister of Defence, a role in which he oversaw military reforms and national security operations. In a statement from the presidency, President Ouattara said the decision was based on experience, competence, and continuity in government, stressing that the new vice prime minister would play a central role in implementing strategic national policies. However, the appointment has drawn mixed reactions. Opposition parties and civil society groups have raised concerns over nepotism, arguin...

Nigerian security forces have rescued several hostages and engaged in fierce clashes with armed militants during recent military operations in the country’s northwest, authorities have confirmed. The operations, carried out in parts of Zamfara, Katsina, and Kaduna states, were aimed at dismantling criminal hideouts and disrupting the activities of armed groups responsible for kidnappings, banditry, and attacks on rural communities. Military sources said the troops acted on credible intelligence that led them to the locations where hostages were being held. During the operations, troops reportedly exchanged gunfire with the militants, forcing them to retreat in some areas. Several hostages, including women and children, were freed and have since been reunited with their families, while others are receiving medical attention and psychological support.

Kaduna, Jan. 24, 2026 — The African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kaduna State chapter, has declared the activities of Ahmed Tijjani Mustapha, Idris Musa and a few others parading themselves as leaders of the party in the state as illegal and unauthorized. In a statement issued to journalists in Kaduna on Thursday, the party’s State Publicity Secretary, Hon. Alex Tagwai, accused the group of attempting to destabilize the ADC in the state, alleging that they are being sponsored by “enemies of the party” who are pushing for a one-party system in Kaduna. The party further claimed that the individuals were allegedly holding a parallel structure in the name of the ADC for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.  According to the statement, the party said it has evidence to support the allegation and vowed that the individuals would be exposed at the appropriate time. Reacting to resolutions reportedly issued after what it described as an ...

KANO, Nigeria — Today, Friday, January 23, 2026, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf submitted his resignation letter from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), stating that he took the decision due to internal crises and growing challenges within the party. In a statement issued by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, it was disclosed that the governor wrote to the NNPP ward chairman of Diso-Chiranchi in Gwale Local Government Area, formally notifying him of his withdrawal from the party, which will take effect from the 25th of this month. The governor expressed gratitude to the NNPP for the opportunity given to him since 2022 and for the support he received.

Fresh violence has flared in the Russia-Ukraine war, casting a shadow over ongoing peace efforts as renewed hostilities broke out while negotiations were still underway. Ukrainian officials said Russian forces launched intense missile and drone strikes overnight, targeting several cities and key energy infrastructure. The attacks reportedly caused civilian casualties and power disruptions, prompting sharp condemnation from Kyiv, which described the strikes as a deliberate attempt to undermine diplomacy. The escalation comes at a sensitive moment, as peace talks involving representatives from Ukraine, Russia, and international mediators were being held to explore ways to de-escalate the nearly four-year conflict. Ukrainian authorities accused Moscow of negotiating in bad faith, saying the renewed attacks show Russia is using talks as a cover to regroup militarily. Russia, however, has not officially acknowledged targeting civilian areas and has continued to insist that its m...
