🇳🇬 FG admits financial crisis in foreign missions, pledges reforms 🇳🇬

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs addressed financial and operational challenges at Nigerian diplomatic missions abroad, citing budgetary constraints and foreign exchange policy shifts. Ministry spokesperson Kimiebi Ebienfa stated that financial strain has caused delays in paying local staff, service providers, rent, and allowances for home-based officers. The ministry acknowledged that these missions are affected by Nigeria's economic realities and past budgetary shortfalls. The ministry assured that the welfare of diplomatic staff is a priority for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration. Concrete steps are being taken, including releasing special intervention funds, with priority given to service providers, local staff salaries, and officer claims. A committee was established to verify debt profiles for transparent payment. Engagement with the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation is underway to recover shortfalls from the 2024 fiscal year due to exchange rate fluctuations. The government of President Bola Tinubu approved the settlement of these shortfalls, and the first tranche of funds has been remitted. Second-semester allocations are approved, and the ministry is coordinating with the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Nigeria to expedite the release of personnel and overhead funds this week to clear outstanding allowances. The ministry is also developing a sustainable financial framework with innovative strategies, aligning with broader federal reforms for fiscal governance and resource allocation. The ministry expressed gratitude to diplomatic staff, host governments, and service providers for their cooperation, confident that challenges are temporary and commitment to robust international diplomacy and citizen welfare remains.

🇪🇬 Their pictures and names were immortalized... The Guardian honors the martyrs of journalism in Gaza... Photos 🇪🇬

The Guardian has honored journalists killed in Gaza, highlighting that with foreign media banned, Palestinians became their own reporters, facing "the most deliberate murderous attempt to silence them" ever. The Gaza war is described as the bloodiest conflict for journalists in history. Five Palestinian journalists were recently killed in an Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital, bringing the death toll to at least 189 since October 2023, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Other organizations report higher numbers. Just a week prior, four AL Jazeera journalists and two freelancers were killed, with the Israeli military stating it deliberately targeted the AL Jazeera crew. The Committee to Protect Journalists disputes this, calling it part of a pattern of misinformation. The Israeli army has prevented international journalists from entering Gaza, devastating the local media. Despite international law protecting journalists, the Committee to Protect Journalists states Israel is "engaging in the most violent and deliberate efforts to kill and silence journalists that CPJ has ever documented." The Guardian published names of those killed, emphasizing the loss of a generation of journalists and their irreplaceable courage. This list is continuously updated.

The ambitious Morocco-Spain underwater tunnel project received a boost with new contracts. EniCo was awarded a €350,000 contract, funded by the European Next Generation program, to assess traffic potential, identify station locations, and explore private financing models. This project, estimated to cost over €15 billion, envisions a 38.5-kilometer single rail tunnel, with 28 km underwater, connecting Punta Paloma in Spain to Punta Malabata near Tangier, reaching a depth of 300 meters. A German company is analyzing geological challenges in the "Amp de Camarinal" area. Results are expected by next summer. Construction is not anticipated before 2040 due to significant challenges. Vodafone UK secured a contract to provide communication services for the project team, ensuring a 1-gigabit connection and other vital services. The project, originating from a 1980 agreement between Morocco and Spain, is seen as a future strategic corridor to enhance mobility, trade, and energy transfer between Europe and Africa. Observers emphasize that its realization depends on solid financing, political will, and overcoming technical hurdles.

🇪🇹 Ethiopia tightens grip on media ahead of 2026 vote 🇪🇹

Ethiopia has recently seen a rise in journalist detentions, raising concerns among media rights groups. Abdulsemed Mohamed and Yonas Amare were both reported missing in August, with their families and employers unable to get immediate answers from authorities. Although they have since been released, neither the journalists nor Ethiopian authorities have commented on their detention. Sadibou Marong from Reporters Without Borders RSF stated that arbitrarily arresting journalists and holding them incommunicado shows the extent of repression against journalists in Ethiopia. Angela Quintal from the Committee to Protect Journalists CPJ added that media and anti-terror laws are used against journalists, internet shutdowns silence reporting, and arbitrary arrests are routine. The CPJ recorded six Ethiopian journalists Bbehind bars in 2024, with one released in January 2025. Seven journalists from the Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation were detained in March, though all have reportedly been freed, with two awaiting trial for disseminating hateful disinformation. Ethiopia ranks 145th out of 180 countries on RSF's 2025 press freedom index. The country has jailed 30 journalists since 2018, despite initial hopes for media reforms under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. An amendment to the nation's 2021 media law in April 2025 that increased government control over the Ethiopian Media Authority EMA, has drawn criticism. There are also reports of efforts to target Ethiopian journalists abroad, with an Ethiopian delegation reportedly asking France for assistance in the extradition of two critical journalists based there. Similarly, there have been reports of such efforts in other EU countries, South Africa, Kenya, and Uganda. As Ethiopia approaches its general election in June 2026, watchdogs fear further reversals of press freedoms, noting that dissenting voices are still tracked and surveillance is carried out on journalists entering Ethiopia, aiming to control the narrative and occupy the public media space.

🇸🇳 Amidou Djiba from the MFDC evades investigators: "Diomaye is my cousin" 🇸🇳

Amidou Djiba was questioned three times by the Research Section of the gendarmerie regarding statements considered seditious and acts linked to independence. He is accused of singing an alleged separatist anthem, waving an independence flag, and verbally attacking the President of the Republic. Libération reports that Amidou Djiba, a member of the Movement of Democratic Forces of Casamance, attempted to downplay his actions during his hearings, claiming he was unaware his statements could be seen as an attack on the Republic. According to investigators cited by Libération, this defense suggests an attempt to absolve himself. Amidou Djiba also expressed loyalty and respect for the Head of State, citing a familial connection due to his Sérère background and the President's Diola origins, while regretting the statements attributed to him and seeking leniency.

🇪🇬 34 martyrs by the fire of the occupation army in Gaza since dawn today 🇪🇬

Al-Qahira News Channel reports that 34 martyrs have been killed in Gaza since dawn today due to Israeli occupation forces' fire. The report indicates ongoing hundreds of raids and artillery shelling, with crimes being committed across the Gaza Strip, including bloody massacres against civilians and horrific crimes in areas of incursion. A catastrophic humanitarian situation is noted due to the blockade. Israeli occupation aircraft have destroyed entire residential blocks as part of a comprehensive destruction policy. Thousands of martyrs and wounded are yet to be recovered from under the rubble because of continuous bombing and dangerous ground conditions, compounded by a stifling blockade and severe restrictions on fuel and vital aid entry.
