HRW urges pressure on the UAE after alleging Colombian mercenaries were trained for Sudan’s RSF. Human Rights Watch is urging governments to increase pressure on the United Arab Emirates after accusing it of training Colombian mercenaries who were later deployed to support Sudan ’s Rapid Support Forces, according to an Associated Press report. The UAE denied the allegations. The rights group said countries, including members of the European Union, should press Abu Dhabi to end any support for the RSF and consider suspending military cooperation and arms sales. The allegations add to growing scrutiny of foreign involvement in Sudan’s war, which began in April 2023 between the Sudanese army and the RSF. A UN panel report previously said Colombian mercenaries had fought in several parts of Sudan and operated drones, artillery and armored vehicles for the RSF. Download UN panel report pdf here . The issue has also drawn sanctions attention. The U.S. Treasury previously sanctioned a network it said recruited former Colombian military personnel and trained fighters, including children, for the RSF. HRW said the latest findings should push governments to move beyond statements of concern and take concrete steps to limit outside support for armed groups accused of abuses in Sudan.

Tanzania has been recognized as the second safest African country in terms of cybersecurity, as announced by the Director-General of the Information and Communication Technology Commission Dr Nkundwe Mwasaga. This achievement is based on data from the International Telecommunication Union's Global Cybersecurity Index. Efforts include developing innovative technology programs and the plan to establish eight ICT centers across the country to nurture young talent and innovation. The government also aims to enhance skills in artificial intelligence and other ICT areas, with initiatives to promote ICT products and develop a technology innovation center for the East African region. Cybersecurity threats in Africa have become more prevalent, with financial institutions being the prime targets due to their wealth of customer data and financial assets. Attacks on the continent have not only targeted banks but also major companies and government institutions, causing significant disruptions and financial losses. The sophisticated nature of these attacks, including spear phishing and malware, underscores the urgency for improved cybersecurity measures. African states are urged to enhance their cybersecurity frameworks to combat the rising tide of cyber threats. This involves developing comprehensive national cybersecurity strategies, establishing dedicated cyber authorities, and fostering a culture of cybersecurity awareness among citizens. The implementation of legal frameworks to regulate cyberspace and sanction cybercrimes is also crucial. International cooperation and public-private partnerships play pivotal roles in strengthening the continent's cyber resilience, reflecting the borderless nature of cybercrime .

Two women detained in Arua under Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act, reviving global scrutiny over the country’s rights record. In north‑western Uganda , police in the city of Arua detained two women in their early twenties after neighbours reported that they had seen them kiss in public. The 22‑year‑old entertainer and 21‑year‑old unemployed woman were arrested on 18 February under Uganda’s Anti‑Homosexuality Act (AHA), according to a statement from police spokesperson Josephine Angucia. Angucia said neighbours provided photos and alleged that the pair had been living together and hosting gatherings of women, which they believed to be “same‑sex behaviour”. Reports that the women have been held without access to legal representation, and their case has been forwarded to prosecutors for potential charges. Passed in May 2023, the AHA has been widely condemned by human‑rights groups for imposing life imprisonment for consensual same‑sex relations and the death penalty in “aggravated” cases. Police said the women’s conduct fell under “queer and unusual acts believed to be sexual in nature”, a category that could see them imprisoned for life if convicted. “Aggravated homosexuality” includes repeat offences or acts involving minors or vulnerable people and mandates the death penalty. The law also criminalises the “promotion” of homosexuality, exposing activists and organisations to sentences of up to 20 years . Rights campaigners say this enforcement reflects a broader crackdown on LGBTQ+ Ugandans. Frank Mugisha, executive director of Sexual Minorities Uganda , wrote on X that the arrests highlight a “grim reality” where the law has spurred blackmail and extortion, making victims “too terrified to seek protection”. Uganda has recorded hundreds of rights violations since the law came into force, including arrests, evictions and forced examinations, according to advocacy groups. Human‑rights organisations and western governments have denounced the AHA, saying it targets people for their identity. The broader geopolitical context adds pressure. Uganda is a predominantly conservative and Christian nation, and the legislation enjoys domestic support. Yet international partners have responded: the World Bank froze new lending to Uganda in August 2023 over the law and only announced in June 2025 that it would resume financing after mitigation measures were implemented . The arrests in Arua are likely to revive scrutiny of Uganda’s rights climate across the region and may factor into diplomatic and development discussions as governments and financial institutions weigh engagement with the country.

African World Cup fans face visa, ticket and travel barriers despite a U.S. visa bond waiver. Some African football fans heading to the 2026 FIFA World Cup have received a major visa-cost reprieve, but travel barriers remain significant, according to a BBC Sport Africa report . The U.S. government has waived visa bond requirements for qualified ticket-holding supporters from Algeria, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Tunisia. The bond had required some visitors to post between $5,000 and $15,000 before travel. However, the waiver only applies to fans who already bought World Cup tickets and registered through the FIFA Pass system by April 15. FIFA says PASS is designed to help ticket holders access priority U.S. visa appointments before the tournament. The relief does not remove all travel problems. Supporters may still face visa restrictions, high ticket prices, expensive flights, accommodation costs and cross-border travel requirements because the tournament will be staged across the United States, Canada and Mexico. The 2026 World Cup runs from June 11 to July 19, with FIFA listing 104 matches across the expanded 48-team format. A record 10 African teams will compete, but many fans may still need deep pockets and multiple visas to follow their teams in person. For African supporters, the issue is no longer only about football access. It also highlights how immigration rules, travel costs and tournament geography can shape who actually gets to experience a global sporting event.

DRC and Angola push joint projects, trade formalisation and regional value chains at Kinshasa forum. The DRC–Angola Economic Forum in Kinshasa opened with a call to turn bilateral economic ties into practical business projects, as Congolese officials urged companies from both countries to build partnerships in strategic sectors. Daniel Mukoko Samba, the DRC ’s deputy prime minister in charge of the economy, said the two neighbours should pool their capacities to develop competitive regional value chains in hydrocarbons, fisheries, agriculture and energy. Speaking during the third edition of the forum on April 1, Mukoko Samba said the two countries hold major natural resources, strong economic potential and a sizeable combined market that could support joint industrial growth. He also said business-to-business exchanges, exhibitions and sector discussions should lead to concrete investments, joint ventures and other structured projects. Prime Minister Judith Suminwa , who also addressed the forum, said this edition should mark a shift from declarations to implementation, arguing that people now expect visible economic change rather than repeated promises. A separate report on the opening said the meeting also focused on easing payments, reducing informal trade and advancing the Dilolo–Lobito corridor , seen as an important route for cross-border commerce. Mukoko Samba used the gathering to press entrepreneurs and investors from both countries to move quickly on strategic partnerships, saying public authorities can help create the right environment, but businesses remain central to turning opportunity into growth. That forward-looking message placed the forum’s emphasis on what comes next: projects that can deepen trade, strengthen industrial links and give new momentum to economic integration between Kinshasa and Luanda.

Uganda bans live coverage and streaming of riots and unlawful processions ahead of the Jan. 15 election, citing public order, as rights groups warn of a crackdown. Uganda’s government has banned the live broadcasting or streaming of riots, “unlawful processions” and other violent incidents in the run‑up to the 2026 general election. In a statement on Monday, the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology of Uganda said such coverage could escalate tensions and spread panic, and warned that anyone sharing inciting, hateful or violent material would face enforcement. The directive applies to radio, television and digital platforms, and comes less than two weeks before the Jan. 15 vote in which long‑serving President Yoweri Museveni will again face pop‑star‑turned politician Bobi Wine. According to Reuters, authorities have detained hundreds of opposition supporters during the campaign as reported by Reuters . Ministry cites public order and election law The Permanent Secretary of the ICT ministry, Dr Aminah Zawedde, said at a Kampala press briefing that media freedom remains protected but election coverage carries heightened responsibility. Broadcasting violent scenes in real time can inflame emotions, encourage copycat actions and obstruct security operations. Zawedde stressed that only the Electoral Commission may declare election results and that disseminating unverified or premature results is illegal. She clarified that the restrictions cover both traditional broadcasters and online platforms, noting that digital media are subject to Uganda’s Computer Misuse Act during the election period. Media houses were urged to avoid inciting, hateful or violent content and to rely on verified information and official sources . The ministry said it would work with the Uganda Communications Commission to monitor coverage and ensure compliance. The live‑coverage ban comes amid a broader crackdown on opposition supporters and journalists. Rights groups say security forces have detained hundreds of activists and used tear gas, pepper spray and batons to disperse peaceful rallies organised by Wine’s National Unity Platform. Amnesty International reported that Ugandan security forces have launched a “brutal campaign of repression” against opposition supporters, subjecting them to arbitrary arrests, beatings and torture. Eyewitnesses told Amnesty that police fired tear gas and pepper spray at a rally in Kawempe on 24 November, causing a stampede and leading to fatalities. The rights group’s regional director, Tigere Chagutah, urged authorities to halt the repression and allow the opposition to campaign freely. The government and police have not responded to these specific allegations. Uganda’s election campaigns have been violent in the past. More than 50 people were killed ahead of the 2021 vote when security forces cracked down on Wine’s supporters, who accused Museveni of stealing the election, a claim he denied. Museveni, 81, came to power in 1986 after a five‑year rebellion and is Africa’s third‑longest‑serving head of state.
