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

[ICYMI] Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu has approved a pay rise for the country's military personnel, in a move aimed at boosting morale as security forces battle multiple threats across the country. The salary increase comes amid ongoing insurgency in the northeast, banditry in the northwest, separatist tensions in the southeast and rising incidents of kidnapping for ransom. The government says improving the welfare of troops is essential to strengthening national security and operational effectiveness. But questions remain over whether better pay alone can reverse the country's deep-rooted security challenges. For the latest developments, we were joined by Channel Africa's Correspondent in Nigeria, Jonathan James Lyamgohn

Angola alcançou um marco importante no desenvolvimento da sua indústria de gás com a conclusão, com sucesso, da perfuração e dos testes do poço de avaliação Katambi-2, localizado no Bloco 24, na Bacia de Benguela.

Os resultados preliminares confirmam a existência de reservatórios de elevada qualidade, com capacidade para produzir milhões de pés cúbicos de gás por dia e mais de mil barris de condensado.

Segundo a Agência Nacional de Petróleo, Gás e Biocombustíveis e a Sonangol Exploração & Produção, trata-se do primeiro teste de fluxo completo realizado num reservatório de gás não associado em Angola, reforçando a viabilidade económica do projeto e o potencial do país para aumentar a produção de gás natural.

O desenvolvimento do projeto poderá gerar centenas de empregos diretos e atrair novos investimentos para o setor energético.

Para falar sobre o impacto de desta descoberta vamos conversar agora com Abraão Ukuachissonde, economista angolano.

Reports have emerged about Zimbabwean nationals living with HIV who are struggling to access treatment in their home country.

Many Zimbabwean nationals living with HIV had been receiving free antiretroviral (ARV) treatment at public clinics in South Africa, in line with the country's constitutional guarantee that "everyone has the right to have access to healthcare services.

"The appeal follows a wave of deportations, repatriations, and voluntary departures driven by escalating anti-immigrant protests, intensified government enforcement, and growing public frustration over high unemployment, crime, and persistent economic challenges.

Meanwhile, access to ARV treatment in Zimbabwe has become increasingly difficult after negotiations between the United States and Zimbabwe over future US funding for HIV and other health services collapsed in February.

To shed more light on this we're joined by Kensington Marufu, an HIV/AIDS activist and lawyer.

Madagascar is facing an unprecedented security crisis as a surge in violent kidnappings and disappearances fuels fear across the country.

Authorities estimate that more than 200 people have been abducted or reported missing since January 2026, with over 60% of the cases occurring between May and July.

Some of the kidnappings have been linked to ritual killings, with victims allegedly targeted for sacrifices and other traditional practices.

Meanwhile, Martin Ewi, Senior Researcher on Transnational Threats and Organised Crime at the Institute for Security Studies (ISS), says the escalating violence is placing the country's transitional government under severe pressure.

For more on this, we are joined on the line by Martin Ewi, Senior Researcher, Transnational Threats and Organised Crime, at the Institute for Security Studies.
