Uganda’s HIV response could face fresh uncertainty as the United Nations pushes sweeping reforms at UNAIDS, the agency headed by Ugandan Winnie Byanyima, amid funding pressures, massive staff cuts and explosive allegations of financial mismanagement. The agency, established in 1996 to coordinate the global fight against HIV/AIDS, is undergoing a major restructuring that could eventually lead to the closure of its Secretariat in its current form. The shake-up comes as separate allegations of financial misconduct, whistleblower retaliation and mishandling of a former employee’s medical and employment claims threaten to intensify scrutiny of the agency. The claims remain unproven and require independent investigation. 55% STAFF CUT! Under a restructuring model approved in June 2025, UNAIDS is reducing Secretariat staff from 661 to 294 positions — a cut of about 55 per cent. Its country presence is also being reduced from 85 countries to 54, with a lighter footprint planned in another...

Eswatini has repatriated 10 of its 31 deportees from the US, probably through South Africa, and there are rumours that they were released through informal border crossings. Eswatini has repatriated 10 individuals – some with criminal records – probably via Johannesburg to third countries, but both countries are denying that Eswatini was “secretly releasing United States (US) deportees at night to South Africa through informal border crossings…” The 10 deportees are part of 31 people who have been deported to the country from the US since 2025. Keep up with the latest headlines on WhatsApp | LinkedIn Though officials said the 10 were very likely to have transited through South Africa, Eswatini government acting spokesperson Thabile Mdluli told Daily Maverick, “We are deliberately not mentioning the countries of transit. We will still need them for future repatriations.” The media reports that Eswatini had smuggled US deportees into South Africa seem...

Des mensonges et des informations diffamatoires circulent sur les réseaux sociaux au sujet de l’état de santé du Ministre d’État, Ministre de l’Intérieur, de la Sécurité publique et de l’Administration du territoire, le Général de Division Mohamed Toumba. Je tiens à les démentir formellement. J’ai personnellement rendu visite au Général de Division Mohamed Toumba en octobre 2026, à l’occasion de l’un de mes voyages. Je peux donc témoigner directement qu’il se porte bien, qu’il a retrouvé sa forme et qu’il demeure pleinement engagé dans ses responsabilités. Les informations alarmistes diffusées sur les réseaux sociaux ne correspondent pas à ce que j’ai moi-même constaté. Les activités publiques du Général Toumba au cours de ces derniers mois confirment également son engagement dans ses fonctions. En avril 2026, il s’est exprimé sur les activités de son département lors de l’exercice de redevabilité du Gouvernement. En mai, il a conduit la délégation nigérienne au...

Une attaque du comité d’autodéfense de Miski contre la Brigade minière a causé la mort de deux officiers et neuf blessés. L’armée tchadienne exige un désarmement immédiat. N’Djamena, le 15 octobre 2026 — L’État-major général des armées (EMGA) du Tchad a annoncé, dans un communiqué publié le 14 octobre 2026, qu’une attaque a visé les éléments de la Brigade minière déployée pour sécuriser les sites aurifères de Miski. L’assaut, attribué au comité d’autodéfense de Miski, a entraîné la mort de deux officiers et a fait neuf blessés au sein des forces de sécurité. Selon l’EMGA, cette agression survient en dépit des accords conclus le 20 avril 2025 entre le gouvernement et les groupes d’autodéfense, accords que les autorités affirment respecter et appliquer. L’armée pointe du doigt la multiplication des provocations et des menaces de la part du comité, rappelant la publication d’un communiqué hostile le 13 octobre 2026, signé par...
