ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR – OCTOBER 14, 2025. Madagascar has been plunged into deep political and military turmoil as President Andry Rajoelina dissolved the lower house of parliament following a series of dramatic events that have shaken the island nation. The move comes amid mounting protests, divisions within the armed forces, and reports that the President fled the country fearing for his life. The latest developments began when tensions escalated between Rajoelina’s government and sections of the military aligned with opposition figures. According to local sources, the elite military unit known as CAPSAT (Personnel and Administrative Services Corps of the Army) defected from government control and sided with anti-government demonstrators in the capital, Antananarivo. These soldiers reportedly occupied strategic locations, declaring that they were intervening to “restore order and democracy.” Facing growing unrest and loss of control over key state institutio...

Cameroon stands at a critical crossroads as vote counting continues following the presidential election held on October 12, 2025. The atmosphere across the nation remains tense, with reports of unrest in several regions — far beyond the initial incidents in Garoua. The outcome of this election will shape the country’s future and determine whether Africa’s oldest serving president, Paul Biya, continues his decades-long rule. A NATION ON EDGE At 92 years old, President Paul Biya has ruled Cameroon since 1982, making him one of the world’s longest-serving leaders. His party, the Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM), remains dominant nationwide, but public sentiment shows growing fatigue and frustration over economic hardship, insecurity, and lack of political reform. This year’s election introduced a serious challenger — Issa Tchiroma Bakary, a former government spokesperson who defected from Biya’s camp to run independently. His campaign gained...

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...
