After destroying the initial five-state Maghreb Union, Algeria has brought together cash-strapped Tunisia and war-torn Libya in a bid to create a new regional union. After decades of backing separatist militias in Morocco, Algeria has lost credibility in backing Libya’s western faction against the Haftar-led east. It has backed authoritarianism in once-democratic Tunisia and then withdrew its staff from the Rabat-based Arab Maghreb Union. Last year, secretary general of the Maghreb Union urged Algeria to pay its due contribution and return its staff who have been receiving their pay without working. In seeking to isolate Morocco at all costs, Algeria has been taking self-harming decisions that ended up isolating itself.

With a 20% increase from 2022, 2023 saw 8,565 migrant deaths, making it the deadliest year since 2014. The United Nations said last year was the deadliest for migrants since 2014, with at least 8,565 recorded deaths on migration routes worldwide. The most dangerous path for migrants, according to the IOM, remained the Mediterranean Sea, with at least 3,129 deaths in 2023 as migrants attempted to reach Europe. Data collection on recorded migrant deaths varies widely by region. Drowning accounted for slightly over half of the total migrant deaths in 2023, said the report.

Women and children fleeing deadly violence in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have reported surviving gruesome sexual attacks and genital mutilation by armed men using tree branches, guns, and knives, Save the Children said. Psychologists working with Save the Children’s local partners in displacement camps in North Kivu have documented mass events of sexual violence against children as young as nine. Save the Children documented more than 800 cases of sexual and gender-based violence across the three conflict-affected provinces Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu. In many conflicts, sexual violence continues to be used as a weapon of war to terrorise women and children. Save the Children calls for an immediate end to the impunity of sexual violence against children by strengthening laws and enforcing them, while holding perpetrators to account.

Former Boko Haram fighters in Nigeria are threatening they may pick up arms again and join the insurgency out of frustration that they have been neglected by the government since they surrendered in the last two years. The Nigerian authorities promised Boko Haram fighters who surrendered that they would receive training and skills as an alternative to violence and militancy. Some even told the media that they were better off fighting for the Boko Haram group than living in the camps. Security experts and analysts have warned the Nigerian government against ignoring the agitations and threats from the former fighters. These warnings come amid reports that at least 47 women have been kidnapped in a remote area in northeastern Nigeria, where Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province have operated.

In a recent statement, the World Bank unveiled a groundbreaking initiative aimed at addressing the energy access crisis in Africa, particularly spotlighting Nigeria’s pivotal role in driving the continent’s electrification agenda.

The World Bank’s endeavor highlights the critical role of bold policy reforms, innovative technologies, and substantial investments in clean energy to realize a sustainable and inclusive future for all. With renewable energy costs plummeting and transformative opportunities on the horizon, closing the energy access gap is within reach, signalling a pivotal step towards a greener and more prosperous Africa.
