UK Lifts Five-Year Ban on Pakistani Airlines, Paving Way for Resumption of Flights After a five-year hiatus, the United Kingdom has officially lifted its ban on Pakistani airlines, a move that will allow carriers, most notably Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), to resume flights to the UK. This significant development, announced today, July 17, 2025, follows substantial improvements in Pakistan's aviation safety standards. The ban, imposed in June 2020, stemmed from a tragic PIA plane crash in Karachi that killed 97 people, and subsequent revelations that nearly a third of Pakistani pilots had obtained their licenses fraudulently. The UK's Air Safety Committee, after extensive engagement with the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority and an independent aviation safety review, has determined that the necessary safety improvements have been implemented since its original decision in 2021. This decision by the UK mirrors a similar move by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency...

Ex‑President Buhari’s Death Sparks Political Reflection in Nigeria

Former president Muhammadu Buhari dies at 82, nation reflects on legacy. Former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has died at the age of 82 in London, passing away on July 13, 2025. He was widely known for transitioning from a military leader in 1983 to a democratically elected president in 2015. His death has sparked a national conversation around his complex legacy. While some leaders—such as India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi—praised his role in global relations, others revisited controversies during his administration, especially the #EndSARS protests and persistent insecurity issues. Buhari’s burial will take place in Daura, Katsina State, following Islamic customs. The event is expected to draw national and international dignitaries. Nicknamed “Baba Go Slow” for his cautious policy pace, Buhari is remembered for infrastructure development and anti-corruption efforts, though critics highlight human rights concerns and disengaged leadership.

France Ends 65-Year Military Presence in Senegal, Signifying a New Era in African Relation

France Ends 65-Year Military Presence in Senegal, Signifying a New Era in African Relation On a landmark decision, France today formally concluded its 65-year military presence in Senegal, handing back its last remaining bases. This historic move marks a significant turning point in France's relationship with its former African colonies and signals a broader shift in geopolitical dynamics across the continent. With this withdrawal, France will no longer maintain permanent military camps in West and Central Africa, with Djibouti now serving as its sole anticipated permanent base in Africa. Senegal's Push for Sovereignty Drives Withdrawal The decision to end France's long-standing military footprint in Senegal was a direct result of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye's directive. Faye, who swept to power in 2024 on a mandate for radical change and a re-evaluation of ties with Paris, had unequivocally called for the withdrawal of French troops by the end of 2025. He firmly a...

Burkina Faso Junta Abolishes Election Commission Amid Consolidation

Military junta in Burkina Faso dissolves independent electoral body, centralizing power. On July 17, 2025, Burkina Faso’s military-led government dissolved its Independent National Electoral Commission, citing financial constraints and the need for streamlined administration. Control over electoral affairs now rests with the interior ministry. This is the latest move in a series of structural changes following the 2022 coup. Under a newly ratified charter, junta leader Captain Ibrahim Traoré has extended his tenure until 2029, delaying previous electoral promises. Critics view the dissolution as part of a regional trend—military regimes eroding democratic safeguards under the pretense of national security. Civil society groups warn this action undermines transparency and diminishes civic engagement in the electoral process. Despite backlash from international observers, junta officials maintain that centralization will enhance efficiency. I'm Adedayo Obadina Talksocialtalks...

Kenyan Court Rules Nnamdi Kanu Rendition Illegal

Kenyan high court deems abduction of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu unlawful. On June 27, 2025, the Kenyan High Court ruled that the 2021 rendition of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu was illegal and unconstitutional. Justice E.C. Mwita found Kenyan authorities complicit in violating national rights laws by forcibly detaining and transferring Kanu to Nigeria. The judgment also criticized the involvement of INTERPOL, stressing the need to uphold due process and individual freedoms. Kanu was reportedly denied legal counsel, medical care, and a timely court hearing during his detention. This ruling may shift diplomatic dynamics between Kenya and Nigeria, with international human rights groups calling for reparations and new safeguards for political dissidents.

Biya to Seek Eighth Term: Cameroon Braces for Contentious Election

Biya to Seek Eighth Term: Cameroon Braces for Contentious Election In a move that has set the political stage ablaze, Cameroon's President Paul Biya, 92, announced on Sunday, July 13, that he will seek an unprecedented eighth term in the upcoming presidential election slated for October 12, 2025. The declaration, made via posts on X (formerly Twitter), confirms widespread speculation and plunges the West African nation into a highly anticipated and potentially contentious electoral battle. Having governed for nearly 43 years since 1982, Biya already stands as one of the world's longest-serving heads of state. Should he emerge victorious again, his reign could extend until he is nearly 100 years old, solidifying his place in history – and in power – for an extraordinary duration. His candidacy, while widely anticipated, comes against a backdrop of persistent questions regarding his health and capacity to govern, particularly following a notable 42-day public absence last year. ...
