  • Putin Congratulates Ramaphosa on Re-Election, Highlighting Strong Ties

    Putin Congratulates Ramaphosa on Re-Election, Highlighting Strong Ties Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Ayize claire Jun 18, 2024 Cyril Ramaphosa and Putin shake hands before Russia Africa summit in St Petersburg Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin congratulated South Africa's Cyril Ramaphosa on his re-election as president, reflecting the continued strong relations between Moscow and Pretoria despite the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. A statement on the Kremlin website noted hopes for further strengthening the partnership between Russia and South Africa. Ramaphosa, re-elected by parliament, leads a new government formed by five parties after his African National Congress (ANC) failed to win a majority for the first time in 30 years. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, both nations have sought African support, with foreign ministers making regional tours. South Africa's historic ties with Moscow date back to Soviet support during the anti-apartheid struggle led by the ANC. Initially condemning the invasion, South Africa later adopted a nuanced stance, abstaining from several U.N. votes against Russia. At a recent Swiss-hosted peace summit on Ukraine, South Africa declined to sign the final communique. As host of the 2023 BRICS summit, South Africa faced a dilemma over inviting Putin, given an ICC arrest warrant against him for alleged deportation of Ukrainian children.

President William Ruto, addressing the nation, vowed to use all means to "thwart any attempts by dangerous criminals to undermine the security and stability of our country" and deployed the military to quell the unrest.

Protesters voiced their outrage over the proposed taxes, including a 16% tax on bread and sanitary pads. Hundreds were reportedly injured, including from rubber bullets and tear gas. Soldiers forced doctors out of a medical camp set up at a Nairobi cathedral to tend to injured protesters, and another temporary unit was established outside Kenyatta National Hospital's emergency unit. Former President Uhuru Kenyatta urged dialogue, emphasizing that leaders should recognize their power comes from the people. Despite some concessions in the amended bill, protesters demanded its complete withdrawal. The protests have garnered international attention, with support from prominent African figures such as Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine and South African politician Julius Malema.

  • Kenya to Grant Uganda's National Oil Firm Import License to end interstate oil dispute.

    Kenya to Grant Uganda's National Oil Firm Import License to end interstate oil dispute. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link louis Buyisiwe Mar 28, 2024 ​ In a significant development aimed at mending frayed diplomatic relations and enhancing regional energy cooperation, Kenya is poised to issue an import license to the Uganda National Oil Company (Unoc). This move comes after a protracted dispute that escalated to a regional court, impacting diplomatic relations between Kenya and Uganda. Energy Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir announced that the permit, allowing Unoc to import fuel directly via the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), is underway. "Unoc's forthcoming license marks a pivotal step in our collaboration, leveraging our pipeline as a mutual opportunity," Chirchir stated, emphasizing the strategic use of KPC's infrastructure without compromising its transporter role. This development follows the withdrawal of a legal challenge at the High Court in Machakos against Unoc's licensing, signaling a potential resolution next month. The license will enable Unoc to procure fuel from Vitol Bahrain, transitioning to direct imports that could reshape the regional oil landscape. Also read: Uganda-Tanzania Crude Pipeline Advances with New Coating Facility The resolution of this licensing issue is expected to conclude the legal battle at the regional court, averting further diplomatic strain. Unoc's direct importation from Vitol Bahrain is anticipated to disrupt the traditional fuel supply chain, impacting the revenues of Kenyan oil marketing firms that have historically serviced Uganda. Uganda's shift towards direct imports through Unoc, initiated shortly after Kenya's fuel import agreement with Gulf oil giants to support the Kenyan shilling, underscores the evolving dynamics in East African energy trade. Despite potential challenges for local marketers, KPC's infrastructure utilization by Unoc ensures sustained operational revenue for Kenya. With Uganda importing approximately 2.5 billion liters of petroleum annually, the integration of Unoc into Kenya's oil infrastructure is poised to enhance the efficiency and reliability of fuel supply in the region, fostering stronger economic and diplomatic ties between the two nations. Kenya's decision to license Unoc for direct fuel imports heralds a new era in East African energy cooperation, promising to stabilize regional relations and optimize the use of shared infrastructure. This strategic move not only addresses the immediate logistical and legal challenges but also sets the stage for future collaboration in energy and beyond, reinforcing the bonds of partnership between Kenya and Uganda .

  • The Tide Turns Against the CFA Franc in West Africa,considered a colonialist currency.

    The Tide Turns Against the CFA Franc in West Africa,considered a colonialist currency. Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link louis Buyisiwe Apr 8, 2024 ​ West Africa abandoning Franc labeled currencies. The CFA franc, a currency with colonial roots serving several West and Central African nations, is on the brink of replacement amid growing calls for financial sovereignty. The recent electoral victory of left-wing candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye in Senegal, alongside similar sentiments in coup-led Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, signifies a collective push against the currency's neo-colonial ties to France. This marks a pivotal moment as these nations, particularly regional leader Senegal, seek to break free from the economic constraints imposed by the CFA franc system, established post-World War II to benefit France. Recent years have seen intensified opposition to the CFA franc in West Africa, leading to minor reforms like the reduction of French influence in regional central banking. However, the core structure and France's control have largely persisted. The proposed shift towards new regional or national currencies, such as the "Sahel" currency by the Sahel States Alliance, hinges on careful planning and execution, free from French involvement. Historical attempts to abandon the CFA franc faced significant French resistance, including economic sabotage. Yet, the current geopolitical landscape and a collective resolve among West African nations could pave the way for a successful transition. Also you may want to read: Zimbabwe Introduces Gold-Backed ZiG Currency to Stabilize Economy Trust and economic stability are crucial for the new currency's acceptance, requiring comprehensive governmental planning and regional cooperation. Senegal's roadmap includes establishing a national central bank, building gold reserves, and focusing on domestic economic stability, drawing inspiration from strategies employed by countries like China. The international reaction, particularly from institutions like the IMF and the World Bank, and negotiations with global and regional powers will be critical in this transition. The move away from the CFA franc represents not just a monetary shift but a significant stride towards genuine sovereignty and economic independence, challenging po stcolonial influence in the region.

CECAFA officials are scheduled to inspect Zanzibar's sporting facilities later this month, with the New Amaan Complex, Sheikh Abeid Karume Stadium, and Pemba Stadium being the likely venues for the tournament.

Credit: CAF Online As anticipated, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially rescheduled the African Cup of Nations (CAN) 2025. The tournament will now take place in Morocco from December 21, 2025, to January 18, 2026. This decision follows the announcement of the Club World Cup, slated for summer 2025. This marks the third consecutive postponement of the CAN, following delays for the 2021 edition in Cameroon and the 2023 edition in Côte d'Ivoire. The CAF Executive Committee also announced the dates for the CAF TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), which will also be hosted in Morocco. Initially, CAF had scheduled CAN 2025 for July-August to avoid overlapping with the first 32-team Club World Cup, set for June 15 to July 13, 2025, in the United States. However, the summer schedule proved too congested, prompting concerns from various soccer associations about the overwhelming workload on players and teams. Despite CAF's previous denial of postponement rumors, General Secretary Veron Mosengo-Omba hinted at a possible delay in an interview with AFP, stating that discussions were at an advanced stage and a decision would be announced soon. The postponement has now been confirmed. The 35th edition of CAN will make history with its unique scheduling, spanning two calendar years for the first time. The tournament will commence on December 21, 2025, and conclude on January 18, 2026. This shift deviates from the traditional CAN schedule, which typically begins in early January and concludes in early February. The new dates aim to prevent clashes with the newly implemented UEFA Champions League format, set to take effect in 2024. Under the new format, the Champions League group stage's sixth matchday will end in mid-December, with the seventh matchday beginning around January 21. This arrangement allows players participating in European leagues and the UEFA Champions League to represent their national teams without scheduling conflicts. CAF has shown a pattern of adjusting its schedules since CAN 2012, reflecting a consistent trend of flexibility in response to various logistical challenges .
