Burkina Faso has been placed on an international human rights watchlist following growing concerns over the country's deteriorating civic and political freedoms under military rule.

According to CIVICUS, a global alliance of civil society organisations and activists, authorities have increasingly restricted the activities of civil society organisations, political opposition parties, journalists, and government critics.

In a statement, CIVICUS called on Burkina Faso's leader, Ibrahim Traoré, to reverse the dissolution and suspension of civil society organisations, allow political parties to operate freely, and initiate a genuine dialogue to restore democratic governance.

For more on this, we are joined on the line by Dr Baiye Mbu, West and Central Africa Researcher for the CIVICUS Monitor.

A Senegalese court has sentenced three TikTok influencers to prison and imposed fines after convicting them of insulting President Bassirou Diomaye Faye.

Critics have condemned the ruling as an attack on free speech in the West African nation.

The three men worked for Feenal Digital, an online media platform that produces content widely viewed as supportive of former Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, leader of the PASTEF party.

Sonko recently parted ways with his former ally, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, who launched his own political party last month.

To shed more light on this, we're joined on the line by Mamadou Thior, Senegalese Political Analyst and President of Cored.

Joseph Makamba “JM” Busha has built a career spanning finance, investment, politics, publishing and pan-African activism. But at the centre of his work is a bigger question: what kind of Africa can Africans build for themselves?

Peter Ndoro speaks to the Zimbabwean-born businessman, investor, author and philanthropist about the experiences that shaped his worldview, the state of leadership and governance on the continent, and why he believes peace, accountability and responsible citizenship must form the foundation of Africa’s future.

He dicusses his vision for Africa, the responsibility of its leaders and citizens, his continental Peace Pledge, and the ideas behind his books Cries for Peace and Justice and My Thoughts: Africa’s Future Begins in Our Minds.

Uganda's Parliament has approved the deployment of the country's military to the Gaza Strip as part of a proposed multinational security force under U.S. President Donald Trump's ceasefire plan.

According to Uganda's Defence Minister, Kiryowa Kiwanuka, President Donald Trump requested President Yoweri Museveni to contribute troops to the International Stabilization Force, which would operate in areas of Gaza not under Israeli control.

The move would mark Uganda's first publicly announced peacekeeping role in the Middle East, adding to its existing military deployments in Somalia, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

In this interview, we speak with Godwin Toko, lawyer and human rights activist at the Agora Centre for Research Uganda, who shares his analysis of the decision, its legal implications, the regional and international dimensions, and what it could mean for Uganda's foreign policy and security commitments.

Watch the full discussion and share your thoughts in the comments.

African leaders, policymakers, financiers and investors are gathering in Dar es Salaam for the Infra for Africa Forum 2026, a high-level summit focused on finding innovative ways to finance the continent’s growing infrastructure needs.

Held under the theme, “A Decade of Economic Impact: From Vision to Delivery,” the forum marks ten years of Africa50 and brings together key stakeholders to address critical issues including energy access, digital infrastructure and the mobilisation of African capital.

As discussions continue on reducing reliance on external funding and strengthening Africa-led solutions, the role of the media in promoting accountability and public understanding is also under the spotlight.

On #AfricaWorldHour, Mpho Sithole is joined by William Oloo Janak, Secretary General of the Congress of African Journalists, to discuss the significance of the forum and the role of media in Africa’s development agenda.

Aid agencies are warning of worsening conditions for Congolese refugees in Burundi as the World Food Programme plans to reduce assistance from 75% to 50% due to funding shortages.

The cuts come as tens of thousands of refugees have fled renewed violence in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and are living in already strained conditions. Refugees say the reduced support will not be enough to meet even their most basic needs, raising fears of a deepening humanitarian crisis.

The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) says the situation is especially concerning because emergency settings typically require full assistance, not reductions.

On #AfricaWorldHour, Mpho Sithole speaks to Brigitte Mukanga-Eno, the UNHCR Representative in Burundi, about the growing humanitarian challenges facing Congolese refugees and the impact of the planned aid cuts.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni is in Tanzania for a two-day working visit focused on strengthening bilateral relations and advancing key regional development projects.

At the centre of the discussions is the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), a multibillion-dollar project that will transport Uganda's crude oil to Tanzania's Port of Tanga for export to global markets.

The two leaders are also expected to discuss trade, power infrastructure, regional integration and security cooperation.

On #AfricaWorldHour, Mpho Sithole speaks to Dr Micah Lucy Abigaba, Energy Economist and Lecturer in Applied Economics at the Makerere University Business School in Uganda, to unpack the significance of the visit and what it means for the region.

[ICYMI] Human Rights Watch is urging Zimbabwean authorities to end what it describes as a longstanding culture of impunity by fully implementing the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry into the 2018 post-election violence. In its latest report, End Culture of Impunity; Implement Commission's Recommendations, the organisation argues that victims are still waiting for justice while key reforms remain unfulfilled. For more on the report, its findings and what it means for accountability, governance and human rights in Zimbabwe, we were joined on the line by Idriss Ali Nassah, a Senior Africa Researcher at Human Rights Watch and Doug Coltart, a Zimbabwean human rights lawyer
