Sep 26, 2026 · original
Africa-Press. 14 people, including two senior officers, lost their lives in a plane crash in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The incident occurred in Kinshasa, the capital of Kwango province, according to a statement from the armed forces.

The Deputy Governor of Kwango, Remy Saki, stated that the plane was coming from Kikwit and heading to Kinshasa when it encountered problems while flying over Kinshasa.

Former Foes Unite: can they Topple Abiy Ahmed’S Government
Sep 26, 2026 · original
Africa-Press. The internal conflict in Ethiopia enters a more complex phase as the confrontation shifts from scattered armed conflicts to an attempt to unite several of the most prominent movements opposing the federal government into a single political and military framework. Seven armed groups, including the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, the Amhara Fano movement, and the Oromo Liberation Army, have announced the formation of the “Ethiopian People’s Forces Alliance for Survival,” declaring their goal to remove Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government and work towards establishing a comprehensive transitional administration. The significance of this step lies not only in the number of groups involved but also in the nature of its components; it brings together forces that have fought wars against the federal government at different times, as well as others that have been in direct conf
Zambia: Ruling Party Seeks to Ease Third-Term Debate
Sep 26, 2026 · original
Africa-Press. The ruling party in Zambia has taken steps to ease rising political tensions regarding calls for President Hakainde Hichilema to remain in power beyond 2031, asserting that there is no official proposal to extend his term. The ruling party’s move regarding the possibility of Hichilema running for a third term follows a series of public statements from supporters and officials within the United Party for National Development, hinting at the potential for the president to seek a third term or remain in office after his current term ends. These statements have raised concerns among the opposition and civil society about the future of the limits on presidential terms in Zambia. The president’s spokesperson, Claison Hamusaka, stated on Thursday in Lusaka that this discussion is a distraction from the government’s developmental agenda, urging citizens to focus on the issues facin

Ex-Envoy: UAE Pushed Mauritania Toward Normalization
Sep 26, 2026 · original
Africa-Press. The former Algerian ambassador and former Secretary-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Amar Belani, criticized what he described as “Mauritanian ambiguity” regarding Nouakchott’s position of “neutrality” on the Western Sahara issue, considering that road, port, and energy projects are redrawing the map of trade corridors in the region. In a post titled “Moroccan Push, Mauritanian Ambiguity, and Emirati Funding,” Belani accused the UAE of seeking to distance Mauritania from Algeria and attract it towards countries that have joined the “Abraham Accords,” while simultaneously supporting a Moroccan strategy aimed at enhancing its presence in West Africa and the Sahel region. Belani’s post coincided with the signing of a framework agreement between Morocco and Mauritania on September 21 in Rabat to rehabilitate and expand National Road No. 4, a project presented as a me
ICC Convicts CAR Commander of Crimes against Humanity
Sep 25, 2026 · original
Africa-Press. The preliminary chamber of the International Criminal Court condemned former leader of the armed group “Séléka,” Mahamat Said Abdel Kani (56 years old), on Wednesday for committing four crimes against humanity: arbitrary detention, torture, persecution, and other inhumane acts, in a police unit in the capital Bangui between April 12 and August 30, 2013. However, he was acquitted of three charges of war crimes. The court concluded that Said acted with the required intent and knowledge, convicting him as a “direct partner in committing” the crimes, meaning he carried them out with others according to a common plan. He is the first member of “Séléka” to be convicted by the court, following the conviction of leaders from the opposing “Anti-Balaka” militia. A sentencing hearing will be held in November, followed by proceedings for reparations for the victims, and both the de
Senegal: Four Charged with Crimes against Humanity
Sep 25, 2026 · original
Africa-Press. Four individuals in Senegal have been charged with crimes against humanity or complicity in committing such acts, following violent incidents that occurred in June 2023. This marks a first in cases related to the political unrest that the country experienced between 2021 and 2024, according to legal sources. Between 2021 and 2024, Senegal witnessed violent protests that were met with severe repression, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries during the presidency of Macky Sall (2012-2024), amid a political struggle with then-opponent Ousmane Sonko, who later became the country’s president after serving as Sall’s deputy. The current ruling camp has long promised justice for the victims, despite a recent amnesty law that covered acts of violence during the final weeks of Sall’s presidency, aimed at easing political tensions. Bab Abdallah Touré accused the four individuals
