Africa Geopolitics Kenya Kenya boosts border security as Somali and Jubaland forces clash over disputed elections Bahati shalom Dec 11, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Kenya's Somali border wall stands as a symbol of security within rising tensions and ongoing regional challenges. Kenyan security forces heightened their presence at the Ishiakani border town following intense clashes between Somalia's Federal Government troops and Jubaland forces in the Raskamboni area. The confrontation, sparked on the morning of December 11, saw federal soldiers fleeing and surrendering to Kenyan authorities. Over 300 Somali National Army (SNA) soldiers reportedly surrendered by Wednesday evening, with dozens seeking refuge at Kenya's border post. Witnesses said Jubaland troops captured several federal soldiers, seized the Raskamboni camp, and set fire to vehicles. Tensions escalated as federal troops, recently deployed from Mogadishu, utilized drones in the conflict. Somalia’s Defence Ministry condemned the clashes, stating, “These acts severely undermine national security and Somalia’s sovereignty,” and vowed legal repercussions for those involved. Meanwhile, Jubaland’s Deputy Security Minister, General Adan Xaji, accused Mogadishu of misusing resources intended for national defense, saying, “It is deeply regrettable that these resources... are being used against its own people.” The dispute stems from contested Jubaland elections, with Mogadishu opposing Ahmed Madobe’s reelection and accusing him of failing to address the al-Shabaab threat in the region. Kenyan officials, bracing for possible refugee influxes, are monitoring the volatile situation closely.

Africa | Elections Ghana Ghana's ruling party candidate, Mahamudu Bawumia, concedes defeat to John Mahama Agyeman Joshua Dec 7, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Mahamudu Bawumia Ghana’s Vice President and ruling party candidate, Mahamudu Bawumia, has admitted defeat in the presidential election held on December 7, 2024. He acknowledged that the people of Ghana voted for change, ending the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) two-term rule under President Nana Akufo-Addo. Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, Bawumia stated, “The people of Ghana have spoken, and they have voted for change at this time. We respect this with all humility.” He confirmed calling John Mahama, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate and former president, to congratulate him on his victory. On social media platform X, Mahama shared that he had received the call acknowledging his “emphatic victory.” Celebrations began among Mahama’s supporters, with crowds gathering at the NDC campaign headquarters in Accra. According to Sammy Gyamfi, an NDC spokesperson, Mahama secured 56.3% of the votes compared to Bawumia’s 41.3%, based on the party’s internal review. “It is very clear that the people of this country have voted for change,” Gyamfi noted. Ghana’s Election Commission is expected to announce the official results by Tuesday, although regional tallies are still being processed. Political party agents monitored the vote counts at polling stations before they were sent for final collation. The election campaign was heavily influenced by economic challenges in Ghana, including high inflation, debt issues, and a currency devaluation crisis that necessitated a $3 billion International Monetary Fund bailout. Despite some economic recovery, frustration among voters remained strong, which worked in Mahama’s favor. Bawumia’s bid for a third consecutive term for the NPP under the “Break the 8” slogan faced significant criticism over the current administration’s economic record. While inflation dropped from over 50% to around 23% and some economic stability returned, voters were still dissatisfied. John Mahama’s return to power marks a significant political shift, with the NDC also securing victory in the parliamentary elections, according to the NPP’s internal tallies. This victory highlights the alternating dominance of the NDC and NPP in Ghana’s politics since 1992.

Africa | Policies South Africa President Ramaphosa faces pressure as Sadtu demands swift implementation of Bela Act Mbeki edmond Dec 10, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link President Cyril Ramaphosa under scrutiny as mounting pressure surrounds the implementation of key provisions in the Bela Act to address education reforms President Cyril Ramaphosa is facing growing pressure from the South African Democratic Teachers’ Union (Sadtu) regarding the implementation of two sections of the Basic Education Laws Amendment (Bela) Act. The deadline for public submissions on these sections is set for Friday, and Sadtu is pushing for sections 4 and 5 to be enacted by December 13. The union criticized Ramaphosa for delaying the implementation, accusing him of prioritizing political motives and listening to objections from Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube and her party, the Democratic Alliance (DA). Sadtu’s general secretary, Mugwena Maluleke, stated that the act has been passed following extensive consultations over a decade and has not faced any constitutional challenges. Sections 4 and 5 of the Bela Act would transfer the responsibility of admitting students into public schools and determining language policies from school governing bodies (SGBs) to provincial education departments. Sadtu argues that these changes are necessary to ensure equitable access to quality education and to address past imbalances. The union also dismissed agreements signed between Gwarube and groups like Solidariteit and AfriForum, labeling them as attempts by "white supremacists" to perpetuate racism in schools. Maluleke emphasized that all schools must comply with South Africa's laws and constitution, ensuring that no barriers—such as language policies—prevent children from accessing education. Ramaphosa’s office confirmed receiving Sadtu’s letter and stated that a response would follow. Meanwhile, Solidariteit claimed to have reached an agreement with the government to delay implementing the contested sections, asserting that the president is bound by this agreement. In support of the Bela Act, Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi urged decisive action, calling Friday a potential “liberation day” for South African youth. Lesufi expressed determination to end any practices denying children access to nearby schools due to language requirements, especially Afrikaans. The DA, however, has warned against enacting the sections without constitutional review. DA leader John Steenhuisen suggested such a move could harm the Government of National Unity, while spokesperson Karabo Khakhau emphasized the need to test the constitutionality of these changes in court.

Africa | Domestic Politics South Africa The law that is creating division in the GNU and time is running out Ayize claire Dec 9, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link President Ramaphosa and DA president Steenhuisen South Africa’s Government of National Unity (GNU) is embroiled in a fierce debate over the controversial Basic Education Laws Amendment (BELA) Act. The African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA), the two largest parties, are clashing over clauses set to reshape language and admission policies in schools. The BELA Act, signed into law by President Cyril Ramaphosa on 13 September 2024, introduces significant changes, such as criminalizing parents who fail to send children to school. However, clauses 4 and 5, which give the government more control over admissions and language policies, are deeply divisive. Critics, including Solidarity, AfriForum, and the DA, argue these clauses centralize authority and undermine school autonomy, particularly affecting Afrikaans-speaking schools. Proponents say the changes promote inclusivity. To ease tensions, Ramaphosa delayed implementing these clauses for three months to allow more consultations, but the deadline looms on 13 December, with no consensus in sight. Agreement or Disagreement? On 28 November 2024, DA Minister of Basic Education Siviwe Gwarube announced a deal with Solidarity and the Presidency to propose delaying the clauses further. The agreement called for setting norms for admissions and language policies while opening discussions on mother tongue education. However, Ramaphosa and Deputy President Paul Mashatile swiftly dismissed the agreement, stating it held no legal weight and accusing Gwarube of undermining the coalition. Mashatile criticized the DA for clinging to “apartheid-era standards,” while DA leader John Steenhuisen defended Gwarube, warning that firing DA ministers could collapse the GNU. Ramaphosa’s Dilemma Ramaphosa faces pressure from all sides. The ANC’s left-leaning allies, including Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi, are urging him to uphold the BELA Act as is. Lesufi, a potential future ANC presidential candidate, declared, “Our children can’t be rejected in schools – never!” He dismissed calls to water down the Act, framing it as a step toward justice. As the clock ticks down, the GNU is in turmoil, with unresolved tensions threatening the coalition’s unity and South Africa’s education policies hanging in the balance.

Concert Clash: Etana's Nairobi Show Canceled Amid Sabotage Claims Prince Jean Dec 10, 2024 Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp Copy link Etana performing live on stage during a vibrant reggae show. Jamaican reggae artist Etana has claimed that her planned concert in Nairobi on December 7 was canceled due to sabotage. She said Tanzanian artist Diamond Platnumz scheduled an event at the same venue and time, which she believes caused her show to be called off. Etana took to social media to share her frustration. She wrote, "I am not happy about the sabotage, and let me be clear, I am not showing up at Platnumz’s show!! It’s all good!" According to Etana, her show had been planned months in advance, making the sudden overlap suspicious. She hinted that influential people might have deliberately created the clash. She questioned, "Who planned it this way? Why now?" This situation has upset her fans, many of whom were eager to see her perform. Etana also emphasized her disappointment in the actions of those involved, saying that the sabotage would not discourage her from continuing her music journey. Diamond Platnumz , one of Africa's biggest artists, is known for attracting massive crowds, which may have impacted the interest in Etana's concert. However, neither Diamond nor his team has responded to these claims. The incident has sparked a larger conversation about fairness and competition in the music industry. Fans of both artists are left wondering if such overlaps could have been avoided and whether these actions were intentional.
