  • In a significant development amidst the ongoing oil importation dispute between Kenya and Uganda, Tanzania has stepped in with a set of compelling offers to Uganda that could potentially reshape the dynamics of oil trade in East Africa. Under the leadership of President Samia Suluhu Hassan, Tanzania has proposed to allow the Uganda National Oil Company (Unoc) to utilize the Dar es Salaam port for importing fuel into Uganda. This move comes at a crucial time as Kenya remains steadfast in its position against Uganda's importation demands, leading to a legal battle at the East African Court of Justice (EACJ). While the case is still pending, with no clear timelines for a resolution, there are indications that Uganda might consider withdrawing the lawsuit, a development that Kenya is eagerly anticipating. The tension between Kenya and Uganda took a diplomatic turn when Presidents William Ruto, Yoweri Museveni, and Samia Suluhu Hassan convened in an extraordinary tripartite meeting in Zanzibar. This meeting, reportedly initiated by Uganda, aimed to secure a smooth pathway for the importation of petroleum and other essential products into Uganda, amidst the ongoing impasse. Tanzania's timely intervention by offering an alternative route for Uganda's oil imports through the Dar es Salaam port is a testament to the evolving landscape of regional cooperation and economic strategies in East Africa. This strategic move not only offers Uganda a viable solution to its current predicament but also highlights Tanzania's growing influence and proactive approach in regional trade and diplomacy. The unfolding scenario underscores the intricate balance of geopolitical interests, economic strategies, and the pursuit of regional stability and cooperation among East African nations. As the situation evolves, the outcomes of these high-level engagements and Tanzania's offer to Uganda could have lasting implications on the region's trade routes, alliances, and economic frameworks, signaling a new chapter in East African geopolitics and trade relations .

  • WHY Rutshuru Road Kidnapping Raises Security Concerns

    A Catholic priest and three others were freed after a Rutshuru kidnapping, renewing concern over Kiwanja–Kanyabayonga road security A Catholic priest and three other hostages have been released after being kidnapped by armed men on the Kiwanja–Kanyabayonga road in Rutshuru, a route that has seen repeated attacks on civilians and travellers in North Kivu DRC . Father Gédéon Kasereka Bahati was abducted on Saturday, May 30, near Busendo while returning from Kanyabayonga, where he had attended a wedding mass at Kabasha parish. A young couple and their driver were also taken. The Diocese of Goma confirmed that the hostages were freed the following morning, Sunday, May 31. The exact conditions of their release were not made public, though some local reports said a ransom demand had been mentioned. The case is significant because it adds to a pattern of insecurity along the Kiwanja–Kanyabayonga axis. Earlier reporting said the priest and other victims were taken in an area crossing the Virunga zone, where armed robberies and kidnappings have repeatedly targeted road users In March, ACTUALITE.CD also reported a separate armed attack on the Kiwanja–Goma road, where assailants fired on a public transport vehicle, robbed passengers, seriously wounded the driver, and briefly abducted another person. Local security concerns are broader than one incident. Friends of the Congo cited civil society figures reporting multiple attacks between October 2025 and February 2026 along sections linked to the Kiwanja–Kanyabayonga corridor , underlining the risks facing civilians moving through Rutshuru territory. For residents and travellers, the priest’s release brings relief, but the episode also reinforces concern over civilian mobility in eastern DRC, where strategic roads remain exposed to armed violence, looting, and abductions.

  • Nigeria's inflation soared to a new 28-year peak in April, with headline consumer inflation reaching 33.69% year-on-year, up from 33.20% in March, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. This surge is largely attributed to President Bola Tinubu's administration's decision to slash petrol and electricity subsidies and devalue the naira twice. The Central Bank of Nigeria has responded by raising interest rates twice this year, including its largest hike in 17 years, in an attempt to curb the escalating price pressures. The central bank governor has affirmed that rates will remain high as long as necessary to control inflation, with another rate-setting meeting scheduled for next week. Food inflation continues to be a significant driver, climbing to 40.53% in April from 40.01% in March. This category, encompassing food and non-alcoholic beverages, constitutes the largest portion of the inflation basket. The rising inflation has plunged millions of Nigerians into a severe cost of living crisis, struggling to afford basic necessities. In response, President Tinubu has announced a salary increase of up to 35% for civil servants and reinstated a direct cash transfer program to support vulnerable households. Additionally, the government has distributed at least 42,000 tons of grains, including corn and millet, to ease the burden on citizens.

  • Burundi Moves to Accelerate Uvinza–Musongati Railway

    Burundi pushes next steps on the Uvinza–Musongati railway, reviewing timelines, funding and tax exemptions with Tanzania. Tanzanian and Burundian officials are pushing ahead with the long‑awaited Uvinza–Musongati standard‑gauge railway (SGR), a 282 km cross‑border link designed to connect Burundi’s mineral‑rich Musongati region to Tanzania’s rail network and the port of Dar es Salaam. The SGR contract, signed in early 2025, is worth about US $2.154 billion and stipulates a 72‑month implementation period including a 12‑month observation phase which places completion around 2030. TRC (Tanzania Railways Corporation) is managing the project on behalf of both governments and has contracted a consortium of China Railway Group and China Railway Eryuan Engineering Group to build the line. Seven stations and a cargo terminal are planned along the route. In late February 2026 a Burundian delegation led by Infrastructure Minister Damien Niyonkuru travelled to Dar es Salaam for a five‑day working mission aimed at accelerating the project. During talks with TRC, the delegation reviewed the implementation calendar, identified administrative hurdles and discussed a request from the Chinese consortium for tax exemptions. Burundian officials stressed that any exemptions must follow bilateral procedures and reaffirmed that Burundi would honour its financial commitment, which has already been partially met. The team also visited the John Pombe Magufuli SGR terminal an example of Tanzania’s modern rail infrastructure to underscore their desire to integrate Burundi more closely into regional logistics networks. Niyonkuru described the railway as more than an infrastructure project: it is expected to unlock access to markets for Musongati’s nickel and other minerals, reduce transport costs and create jobs. The minister said technical meetings with Tanzanian counterparts covered financing, infrastructure standards and harmonising rail systems so that construction can begin without delay. Remaining tasks include securing final tax exemptions, agreeing on administrative procedures and mobilising the remaining funding. If the timelines agreed in the 2025 contract hold, the partners hope to see progress within the six‑year implementation window. The Uvinza–Musongati line is therefore emerging as a symbol of the Central Corridor’s ambitions and a practical step toward deeper East African economic integration.

  • Citizens of the East African Community (EAC) are increasingly seeking advanced medical treatment abroad, a trend that activists argue diverts resources vital for regional growth. On March 12, the Africa Coalition on Public Service, representing over 500 Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), addressed the East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA) in Nairobi, Kenya, spotlighting the urgent need for improved public services within EAC partner states. The coalition's petition emphasized the dire state of health services, education, access to clean water, electricity, and social protection across the region. These deficiencies, they argue, exacerbate socio-economic inequalities and hinder progress towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The COVID-19 pandemic, rising living costs, and climate change crises further underscore the necessity of reinforcing public service delivery, particularly in healthcare, education, and social protection sectors. Allana Kembabazi of the Initiative for Social and Economic Rights highlighted the tragic personal impact of inadequate healthcare infrastructure, sharing a poignant example of a loss within her family due to a lack of medical oxygen. Despite the Abuja Declaration's call for African nations to allocate 15% of their budgets to health, EAC countries have yet to meet this target. The petitioners pointed out that current health spending in Africa stands at a mere $188 per capita, starkly contrasted with $4,000 in high-income countries. EALA MP Blacks Gerald Siranda echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the productivity loss in the region due to inadequate healthcare and education. The assembly's Speaker, Joseph Ntakirutimana, expressed solidarity with the petitioners' cause, committing to thorough analysis and deliberation on the petition. In the context of healthcare, Rwanda serves as a beacon of progress within the EAC. The country has significantly ramped up its medical oxygen production and ventilator availability post-COVID-19, positioning itself as a medical hub in the region. This includes introducing kidney transplant services and advancements in heart surgery and cancer treatment, showcasing a proactive approach to healthcare readiness and accessibility .

  • Tshiwewe-Numbi Trial Moves Toward Evidence Review

    Congo’s military court case against Tshiwewe, Numbi and others now turns to evidence in a major wartime loyalty trial. The trial of former FARDC chief Christian Tshiwewe, former inspector general John Numbi and other defendants is moving toward a decisive evidence phase after opening before the High Military Court in Kinshasa on June 4. The case, which was adjourned to June 25, centers on serious allegations including treason, conspiracy, illegal possession of weapons and links to AFC/M23 networks as cited by local reports . At the first hearing, the court identified the defendants, read the charges and postponed further proceedings. Actualité.cd also reported that the case involves Tshiwewe, Numbi, several senior officers and Pascal Nyembo, with some defendants absent from court. For prosecutors, the coming phase will be critical. The charges do not only concern individual conduct; they raise broader questions about military discipline, alleged contacts with hostile networks and the loyalty of senior figures during the conflict in eastern DRC. Tshiwewe’s role gives the case unusual weight. Until late 2024, he served as chief of staff of the FARDC, making him one of the most senior military figures to face such accusations in recent Congolese judicial history. The prosecution is expected to argue that alleged weapons, contacts and internal networks formed part of a wider threat to state security. Numbi’s inclusion adds another layer. The former police chief and former FARDC inspector general remains a major figure in Congo’s security history. In this case, he is among the defendants being pursued in absentia, according to reports on the proceedings. The next hearing is expected to test whether prosecutors can connect the allegations to clear evidence. 7sur7 reported that the matter was referred to June 25 after the opening session. For now, the defendants remain presumed innocent. The central issue before the High Military Court is whether the prosecution can prove that the alleged acts amounted to a coordinated threat against the state, or whether the case will remain a politically sensitive file built around suspicion, wartime pressure and internal military rivalries.

  • Vatican Secretary of State Parolin in Burundi for High-Level Visit

    Cardinal Pietro Parolin visits Burundi to mark 60 years of Holy See-Burundi ties, signing seven new agreements in health, education, and security. Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin is in Burundi for a five-day working visit aimed at strengthening diplomatic, religious, and social cooperation between the Holy See and the East African nation. Cardinal Parolin arrived in Bujumbura on 12 August 2025, where he was welcomed by Vice-President Prosper Bazombanza, senior Catholic clergy, and hundreds of faithful. The Apostolic Nunciature had earlier confirmed the visit, which marks a significant moment in the 60-year diplomatic relationship between the Holy See and Burundi. Meeting with President Ndayishimiye On 13 August, President Évariste Ndayishimiye , widely known as “Neva Wacu,” hosted Cardinal Parolin at the Ntare Rushatsi Presidential Palace. The two leaders first held a private meeting, during which Parolin delivered a message from Pope Leon VI to the Burundian head of state. Talks later expanded to include government ministers and church officials. Discussions centred on strengthening ties between the Holy See and Burundi, with a focus on education, healthcare, prison services, and security cooperation. President Ndayishimiye commended the Catholic Church for its role in Burundi’s national development, particularly in the social sector. Signing of New Cooperation Agreements The visit also marked the signing of seven bilateral agreements, 13 years after the 2012 Framework Agreement between the Holy See and Burundi. The agreements were signed by Burundian ministers and Archbishop Bonaventure Nahimana of Gitega, formalising cooperation in health, education, prison administration, and security.

  • Luiza Assistance Gap: Families Await Aid After September Storm

    Luiza families were still awaiting assistance two weeks after September’s storm. Read the latest shelter needs, damage assessments and response gaps. LUIZA, DRC — 12 October 2026. More than 1,000 households remained without homes in Luiza, Kasaï-Central, on 11 October, according to Radio Okapi's latest follow-up . The report describes families still awaiting assistance two weeks after the destructive storm of 27 September. The Luiza assistance gap concerns what reaches affected households after damage has been recorded. An assessment, a fundraising initiative and a discussion of emergency financing do not establish that shelter materials or food have been distributed to the families waiting for them. What is the assistance gap in Luiza? The latest local reporting describes families still without secure shelter after the September storm, while residents organise fundraising for initial help. Earlier assessments documented extensive housing damage. The unresolved question is when affected households will receive verified assistance, rather than whether the disaster has been recognised. Residents organise initial assistance Radio Okapi reports that community representatives have established a commission to collect funds for affected households. Local civil-society coordinator Paulin Nkongolo Nsake called for rapid mobilisation. The initiative is intended to provide initial help. The report does not give a verified collection total, distribution list or timetable. Its existence should therefore be understood as a local response being organised, rather than proof that every affected family has already received assistance. The original assessment showed extensive housing losses Actualité.cd 's 29 September report attributed an initial estimate of more than 1,500 homes swept away to Luiza's mayor, Guillaume Shidi Milambu. The storm struck during the night of 26–27 September. The mayor described the estimate as provisional, with teams continuing assessments in affected neighbourhoods. Other homes and infrastructure had also suffered damage. Families were seeking shelter, food and essential household items after losing buildings and possessions.

The report does not give a verified collection total, distribution list or timetable. Its existence should therefore be understood as a local response being organised, rather than proof that every affected family has already received assistance. ADVERTISEMENT The original assessment showed extensive housing losses Actualité.cd 's 29 September report attributed an initial estimate of more than 1,500 homes swept away to Luiza's mayor, Guillaume Shidi Milambu. The storm struck during the night of 26–27 September. The mayor described the estimate as provisional, with teams continuing assessments in affected neighbourhoods. Other homes and infrastructure had also suffered damage. Families were seeking shelter, food and essential household items after losing buildings and possessions. That earlier account establishes the scale of the damage reported at the time. It does not establish the number of households that later received aid, the condition of every surviving building or a final reconstruction cost. The current assistance question is therefore more specific than the initial damage count: which households still lack shelter, what support has reached them, and what remains outstanding? Houses and households are different measures The GDACS disaster-monitoring entry records 1,500 destroyed houses in Luiza in an impact assessment dated 30 September. It is an earlier disaster record, not a current register of assistance delivered. The latest Radio Okapi figure concerns households without homes. A household count and a destroyed-house count cannot be substituted for one another. They also come from different reporting dates and assessment processes. ADVERTISEMENT The numbers should not be added together or used to calculate how many families have recovered. Establishing progress requires comparable information on the same population: households initially affected, households assisted and households still needing support. GDACS also labels its information indicative and advises checking alternative sources before making decisions. Its record helps document the disaster, but it cannot answer whether a particular family has received a tarpaulin, food parcel or rebuilding materials. School damage adds another recovery task Radio Okapi's follow-up describes disrupted classes at affected schools. At Tshikokuani secondary school, its head reported collapsed perimeter walls and a classroom, along with damaged scientific and school equipment. Housing assistance and school rehabilitation address separate losses. Restoring a household's roof would not, by itself, replace classroom equipment or establish that a damaged school building is ready for use. A recovery plan needs to make clear which institutions are being assessed and which repairs have been completed. National discussion is not confirmation of local delivery Le Potentiel's 11 October account of the Council of Ministers includes the Luiza disaster in the humanitarian situation presented to government. It describes extensive destruction of homes and social infrastructure and increased accommodation needs. The same account discusses possible national emergency financing through the World Bank's Catastrophe Deferred Drawdown Option. This is a financing mechanism under consideration, subject to conditions. It is not confirmation of money paid to Luiza households or of a funded local distribution already completed.

Civil Society Cornubia Housing Handover: What Is Delivered and Still Due? . ADVERTISEMENT The report also describes assistance in other places, including Pakadjuma in Kinshasa. Those operations must not be presented as deliveries to Luiza. A national account can recognise several emergencies while leaving the status of an individual locality unresolved. For wider regional context, XTRAfrica has reported on infrastructure investment in Kasaï and Kasaï-Central . That separate programme should not be confused with a household storm-relief allocation. What a concrete assistance update should establish A useful response notice would identify the organisation responsible, the places receiving assistance, the items distributed and the households reached. It should distinguish support already delivered from resources requested or promised. The remaining recovery questions include: Which families have received temporary shelter or essential household supplies? Where can affected households obtain information on any verified distribution? What repairs are planned for damaged schools, and who is responsible for them? What has the community fundraising commission collected and delivered? These questions do not establish wrongdoing or deliberate exclusion. They identify the information needed to measure whether assistance is reaching residents. The next meaningful development will be a dated delivery record or an operational response plan with clear locations and responsibilities.

    Nigerian rapper Falz has criticised celebrities and government officials over their response to the Kwara killings and lack of arrests. Nigerian rapper and activist Falz has criticised fellow celebrities, influencers, and government officials over their response to the recent killings in Kwara State , where nearly 200 people were reportedly killed. In a video shared on social media platform X on Monday, Falz questioned the continued public support for the federal government despite the absence of arrests or prosecutions following the attack.
