The humanitarian situation in Sudan’s Darfur region has taken another tragic turn as a deadly assault by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) left at least 53 people dead and dozens more injured. The attack, which struck a camp sheltering displaced families in the city of El-Fasher, North Darfur, is being described by aid groups as one of the most devastating single incidents in the region this year. According to medical and humanitarian sources, the RSF carried out a coordinated assault involving drone strikes and heavy artillery fire on Friday night, targeting areas around Omdurman Islamic University, which had been converted into a temporary shelter for internally displaced persons (IDPs). Many of the victims were women and children who had fled earlier clashes between the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). Witnesses reported scenes of chaos as the bombardment tore through makeshift tents and school buildings being used as emergency shelters. Emergency workers and volunt...

Cameroon’s highly anticipated presidential election has entered a tense phase as the country awaits official results following a heated October 12 vote. Current reports from Yaoundé, Douala, and the conflict-torn North-West regions suggest that incumbent President Paul Biya maintains a strong lead in early tallies, though opposition candidates have raised concerns about transparency and fairness in the process. BIYAS FOUR-DECADE GRIP ON POWER At 92 years old, Paul Biya remains one of Africa’s longest-serving leaders. Having ruled Cameroon since 1982, he is now seeking another seven-year term despite growing demands for generational change. Provisional reports from electoral observers indicate that Biya’s ruling Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM) is leading in most urban centers and key rural areas, thanks to established political structures and decades of state influence. Local journalists have reported that Biya’s main challenger, Issa Tchiroma Bakary...
