Podcasts about Abuja

Just after Christmas, the United States targeted ISIS-linked militants in northwest Nigeria. Coordinated with Abuja, the airstrikes signal a major shift in Nigeria's approach to foreign military involvement. AfricaLink host Chinaza Samuel speaks with DW's Ben Adam Shemang and analyst Zuwaqhu Bonat to unpack what happened, and how this event sets the tone for Nigeria's fight against terror.

« Donald Trump déploie des avions de surveillance au-dessus du Nigeria, prélude à une intervention militaire des États-Unis ? » titre Afrik.com. À l'origine de cette question : des données de suivi de vol, révélées par Reuters, en début de semaine. « Depuis fin novembre, un appareil (...) du Pentagone survole quotidiennement l'espace aérien nigérian. » De quoi alimenter « les spéculations sur les intentions réelles de l'administration Trump ». Tout ça, dans un contexte diplomatique en dents de scie, car les tensions étaient, il y a peu, encore palpables : le « 1ᵉʳ novembre [dernier], Donald Trump a menacé le Nigeria d'une intervention militaire » et accusé « le gouvernement de tolérer le massacre de chrétiens », rappelle Afrik.com. « [Donald Trump] a promis de pulvériser les terroristes islamistes ». Son ministre de la Défense a confirmé que le Pentagone « se prépare à passer à l'action ». Ces déclarations ont été vivement critiquées à Abuja, où les autorités rejettent l'idée d'un « génocide chrétien ». Fin de la brouille diplomatique Et il y a quelques jours, une conférence de presse a eu lieu à Abuja, à l'occasion de la visite d'une délégation américaine. La brouille diplomatique entre les États-Unis et le Nigeria semble passée, si l'on en croit les déclarations du ministre nigérian de l'Information, qui évoque « un engagement ferme et respectueux » des deux parties. Ces collectes de renseignements, au-dessus du Nigeria, ce serait donc le « signe d'une coopération sécuritaire accrue », commente pour sa part le journal nigérian The Guardian. D'après un analyste interrogé par Afrik.com, cette activité aérienne démontre aussi la volonté de Washington de reconstituer son réseau de renseignement, dans la région sahélienne. « Après la fermeture forcée de la base américaine d'Agadez au Niger et la montée en influence de la Russie, les États-Unis cherchent manifestement à maintenir une présence stratégique en Afrique de l'Ouest, via le Ghana et, de fait, au-dessus du Nigeria », peut-on lire. À lire aussiNigeria: la brouille entre Washington et Abuja «largement résolue», annonce le gouvernement Problème de sécurité au Nigéria « Ces opérations de surveillance interviennent également plusieurs mois après l'enlèvement, au Niger voisin, d'un pilote américain travaillant pour une organisation missionnaire », rappelle aussi The Guardian. Le scénario d'une intervention américaine est-il plausible ? C'est la question que se pose Afrik.com. Et le mot clé à retenir, c'est « prudence » : « Le Nigeria reste un allié stratégique de Washington et un acteur clé de la lutte régionale contre le terrorisme. Le président nigérian a rappelé que "la violence touch(ait) toutes les communautés" et rejeté toute accusation de persécution religieuse. » Par ailleurs, le Nigeria traverse aussi une période de forte instabilité. Le président a proclamé l'état d'urgence sécuritaire en novembre, « après une succession d'attaques meurtrières et l'enlèvement de plus de 300 écoliers, dans le nord du pays. » À ce sujet, et dans ses colonnes Edito, le journal burkinabé Le Pays commente : « Si l'on en croit les autorités nigérianes, aucun élève enlevé ne se trouve encore entre les mains des groupes armés. Tous, disent-elles, ont été libérés. » Mais, il y a encore des questions sans réponse pour l'instant : dans quelles conditions ont-ils été libérés ? Y a-t-il eu paiement de rançons ? « Car, il faut le dire, le paiement de rançons ne fait que renforcer la capacité de nuisance des groupes criminels. Franchement, le Nigeria, c'est peu de le dire, a mal à sa sécurité intérieure », écrit Le Pays. Au Bénin, pays voisin du Nigeria, Patrice Talon a « fait son au revoir au Parlement » « Une intervention à forte portée institutionnelle, marquée à la fois par la mise en perspective de dix années de réformes et par un ton d'adieu assumé », selon La Nouvelle Tribune. Le journal béninois La Nation revient aussi sur ce dernier discours sur l'état de la nation, aux allures de bilan mais dont le cœur a été consacré à la tentative de coup d'État manquée du 7 décembre, « date désormais inscrite dans l'histoire politique récente du pays ». Le président a mentionné « des assaillants qu'il a décrits comme des "marginaux insensés", manipulés par des intérêts internes et externes en quête de privilèges perdus », peut-on lire. Pour le journal La Nation, ces mots veulent ainsi « souligner la gravité de l'acte, mais surtout la solidité du rempart républicain que constituent les forces armées et de sécurité ». Alors que de futures élections approchent, le président a également dit croire en une transition apaisée, marquée par le renouvellement des institutions et la continuité de l'État.

« La brouille entre les États-Unis et nous, c'est terminé », a déclaré lundi 22 décembre le ministre de l'Information du Nigeria, Mohammed Idris, qui a même annoncé un « partenariat renforcé ». Lors d'une conférence de presse, il s'est félicité également du niveau de coopération atteint entre son pays et la France. Le porte-parole du président Bola Tinubu faisait-il allusion aux événements du Bénin, le 7 décembre dernier ? Thomas Orimissan Akéré, président du Club des francophones du Nigeria, répond aux questions de RFI. RFI : Quand le ministre de l'Information du Nigeria, Mohamed Idriss, affirme que la brouille avec les États-Unis est résolue, est-ce que vous pensez qu'il a raison ou pas ? Thomas Orimissan Akéré : Il a certainement raison dans la mesure où le Nigeria a sollicité les États-Unis depuis 2014, après les enlèvements des filles de Chibok, au nord-est du Nigeria. Donc, on a toujours voulu avoir une coopération avec les États-Unis, avec les puissances étrangères qui pouvaient aider le Nigeria. Et aujourd'hui, les États-Unis sont certainement arrivés à cette conclusion que le gouvernement fédéral du Nigeria cherche à coopérer pour trouver une solution à ces problèmes de terrorisme et de banditisme au nord du Nigeria. Alors, en effet, une enquête de l'agence Reuters révèle que le conseiller à la sécurité nationale du Nigeria, Nuhu Ribadu, a rencontré le 20 novembre dernier le secrétaire d'État américain à la Défense, Pete Hegseth, et que depuis un mois, un avion de surveillance américain décolle tous les jours du Ghana pour aller survoler le Nigeria. Quel type de renseignement peut aller chercher cet avion pour le compte à la fois des États-Unis et du Nigeria ?  Étant donné que les États-Unis ont des moyens de renseignement qui sont plus importants que ceux du Nigeria, avec notamment les satellites et les mouvements dans la région, le Nigeria, depuis longtemps, a demandé donc des renseignements pour voir les mouvements des groupes terroristes. Ça peut être Boko Haram, ça peut être d'autres organisations terroristes. Il y a des groupes qui étaient déjà formés. Il y a aussi des groupes qui viennent de l'extérieur du Nigeria. Voulez-vous dire que les Américains aident les Nigerians à contrôler leur frontière nord avec le Niger ? Entre autres, oui. Ça peut être à l'intérieur du Nigeria. Ça peut être aussi le contrôle des frontières avec le Niger. Vous savez que c'est une région très poreuse. C'est pour cela que je regrette d'ailleurs que tous les pays de la région ne coopèrent pas, parce que ceux qui sont en train d'être chassés désormais depuis quelques jours maintenant du Nigeria, ils vont retourner de nouveau vers le Niger. Donc, il faut absolument une coopération globale dans la région pour pouvoir arriver à résoudre ces problèmes de mouvements et d'organisations terroristes. Alors, l'autre pays avec lequel coopère le Nigeria en ce moment, c'est ce qu'a dit le ministre de l'Information du Nigeria ce lundi, c'est la France. Quel est le type de partenariat sécuritaire entre les deux pays ?  Vous savez, nous sommes entourés par les pays francophones, donc ce sont des pays sur lesquels la France avait un certain pouvoir pour la sécurité, je vais dire dans cette région-là. D'ailleurs, la coopération avec la France ne date pas de Bola Tinubu. La coopération avec la France date de très longtemps et aussi bien la coopération économique que la coopération sécuritaire. Donc, à partir du moment où on sait que la France a une certaine aura sécuritaire dans la région, nous avons besoin de la France pour nous donner quelques renseignements dans cette région-là.  Le 7 décembre dernier, lors d'une tentative de putsch au Bénin, les armées du Nigeria et de la France sont intervenues en soutien au président Patrice Talon. Peut-on parler d'une action coordonnée entre Abuja et Paris ?  Je ne sais pas si l'action était coordonnée. Ce qui est sûr, c'est que le Nigeria ne pouvait pas laisser le Bénin dans les mains d'un régime militaire, alors qu'il connaissait déjà, à sa frontière nord, le régime militaire du Niger. Donc, le Nigeria ne voulait pas être entouré par des régimes militaires et il était de toute façon obligé d'intervenir au Bénin pour éviter cette hécatombe démocratique que nous avons dans la région.  Il y a deux ans, après le putsch de juillet 2023 au Niger, il y a eu un vrai différend entre le Français Emmanuel Macron, qui poussait à une intervention militaire au Niger, et le Nigerian Bola Tinubu, qui finalement a fait échouer cette opération. Est-ce qu'il y a toujours ce malentendu aujourd'hui entre messieurs Macron et Tinubu ?  Il faut savoir que l'intervention du Nigeria n'a pas pu avoir lieu au Niger, parce que le nom de la France a été utilisé par les autres régimes militaires au Burkina Faso, au Mali, pour dire attention, c'est la France qui veut intervenir. S'il n'y avait pas eu la France, s'il n'y avait pas eu le nom de la France, le Nigeria serait certainement intervenu pour aller rétablir au pouvoir le président Bazoum qui avait été élu à cette époque-là.  Alors, pourquoi le Nigeria n'est-il pas intervenu au Niger en 2023 ? Et pourquoi est-il intervenu au Bénin en 2025 ?  C'est qu'au Bénin, c'est différent. Au Bénin, c'est que le Nigeria était en danger parce que nous avons des relations économiques très poussées avec le Bénin. Beaucoup de Nigérians ont investi au Bénin et, si on prend le Bénin, on prend forcément le Togo avec. Et le Nigeria ne voulait pas que cette Cédéao soit aussi vite désintégrée, ce qui aurait mis le Nigeria aussi en danger. En termes de démocratie, il faut savoir que, depuis 1999, le Nigeria connaît un régime démocratique. J'ai l'habitude de dire que la démocratie n'est pas un produit fini. C'est un produit à améliorer constamment. Et le Nigeria améliore sa démocratie en termes d'avancées politiques et économiques.

From London to Abuja, from Seoul to Buenos Aires, from Warsaw to Kuala Lumpur — we stand with the persecuted church across the nations. Hebrews 13:3 — “Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them… and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.” 2 Corinthians 4:9 — “Persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” Persecution searches spike sharply every December as global believers look for strength under pressure. Underground Christians face imprisonment, surveillance, violence and social isolation. Hebrews 13:3 remains the most-accessed persecuted-church scripture worldwide. Prayer  Father, in the name of Jesus, we lift our persecuted family who worship in whispers, gather in secret and follow Christ under threat. Strengthen believers in North Korea, Eritrea, Pakistan and Laos. Protect those hiding Scripture, those watched by authorities, and those suffering for declaring the name of Jesus. Surround the imprisoned with Your presence. Empower pastors leading underground fellowships. Give families courage, provision and supernatural endurance. Let the gospel advance in lands where darkness tries to silence faith. Lord, shield Your people with holy fire. Let hope rise where fear tries to rule, and let every persecuted believer know they are not alone today.

In November gunmen seized more than 300 pupils and a dozen teachers from a Catholic school in northern Nigeria. While authorities have rescued around 100 children, many remain missing. Kidnapping has become a recurring reality in many parts of the country, and in late 2025 President Bola Tinubu declared the crisis a national security emergency. He pledged to boost security in remote areas, but rights groups say the true scale of abductions is hidden by widespread underreporting. The sheer number of kidnappings has also drawn international attention. The United States President has spoken of sending troops to assist, and France's President Emmanuel Macron has offered broader help to tackle insecurity.This week on The Inquiry, we're asking: How can Nigeria stop its kidnap crisis?Contributors Dr Kachi Madreke, politics and international relations scholar, University of Aberdeen, UKDr Jumo Ayandele, clinical assistant professor at New York University's Center for Global Affairs, USJames Barnett, non-resident research fellow at the Centre on Armed GroupsDengiyefa Angalapu, research analyst at the Centre for Democracy and Development in Abuja, NigeriaPresenter: Tanya Beckett Producer: Matt Toulson Researcher: Evie Yabsley Editor: Tom Bigwood Technical Producer: James Bradshaw Production Management Assistant: Liam Morrey(Photo: Nigeria demonstration about student kidnapping.

For decades, Abuja has stood as Nigeria's administrative capital, while Lagos remains its economic heartbeat. But recent decisions by the Federal Government are blurring that line once again.The planned relocation of the Bank of Industry headquarters from Abuja to Lagos has sparked questions about efficiency, cost, legality, and regional balance  especially as other federal agencies have also shifted operations back to the commercial capital.On Nigeria Daily, we examine why the Federal Government is moving the BOI headquarters to Lagos, what happened at the Federal Executive Council meeting where the decision was taken, how it could affect the economy, and whether the move is backed by law  and what it means for Nigerians across the country.

Qu'attendez-vous du sommet extraordinaire de la Cédéao ce dimanche (21 décembre) à Abuja avec au menu les crises au Bénin et en Guinée-Bissau ? L'organisation ouest-africaine, en envoyant des troupes à Cotonou pour lutter contre les putschistes, a-t-elle redoré son image ? Votre avis nous intéresse

A CEDEAO reuniu-se em Abuja, na Nigéria, e ameaçou os aliados dos militares com “sanções específicas” após a tomada de poder na Guiné-Bissau. Estas medidas, assim como a condenação da acção do militares, mostram que esta organização regional não apoia esta desestabilização em Bissau. A Comissão da Comunidade Económica de Estados da África Ocidental (CEDEAO) reuniu-se neste fim de semana, em Abuja, na Nigéria, para discutir a situação na Guiné-Bissau e ameaçou impor ao país “sanções específicas” a quem entrar no processo de transição e condenou de forma veemente a mudança inconstitucional de Governo na Guiné-Bissau. Em entrevista à RFI, o jurista Fodé Mané, considera que esta resolução da CEDEAO pode parecer à primeira vista benévola em relação às forças militares actualmente no poder, no entanto, o objectivo desta organização internacional na sua perspectiva é “estrangular” internacionalmente a Guiné-Bissau, retirando qualquer margem de manobra aos líderes actualmente no poder. "As duas partes tinham expectativas diferentes. Os que deram este dito golpe de Estado tinham uma estratégia de que podia haver uma decisão que fosse pelo restabelecimento do poder que estava e, consequentemente, fazer o Governo anterior voltar. Mas a única coisa que conseguiram é aquela possibilidade de alargar a transição por um ano. Também os que estão contra o regime estavam à espera de que ia pelo menos ser tomada uma decisão de intervenção mais musculada, à semelhança do que houve em relação ao Benim. E também a possibilidade de serem proclamados ou de ser divulgados os resultados das eleições. No entanto, é importante precisar que no caso do Benim, a Nigéria e a França estão interessados em agir. No caso da Guiné-Bissau, o Senegal ou a Guiné Conacri podiam servir de plataforma para uma acção militar, mas não estão interessados, até pelo contrário. O Senegal até ganhou com esta situação porque quem devia nomear ou indicar o presidente da Comissão devia ser a Guiné-Bissau, mas por ser suspenso de todos os órgãos, perdeu essa prerrogativa. Então isso foi passado para o Senegal, que vai indigitar o presidente da Comissão da CEDEAO", indicou Fodé Mané. Segundo o jurista, o regime militar no poder não foi assim legitimado pela CEDEAO desta vez, o que significa que, tendo em conta que a Guiné-Bissau é muito dependente do exterior a nível financeiro, o país será "estrangulado" o que "dificulta" a levada a cabo de decisões por partes do militares e dos seus aliados. Na véspera deste encontro da CEDEAO e já antecipando esta decisão que não proferiu o regresso ao poder de Umaro Sissoco Embaló, um cidadão guineense próximo do antigo Presidente foi detido em Lisboa ao sair de um avião com malas que transportavam cinco milhões de euros. Para Fodé Mané trata-se de um acto de desespero por parte do antigo líder. "Depois da reunião do Conselho de Ministros da CEDEAO que prepara as resoluções para os chefes de Estado sabemos que houve movimentações, pessoas que estiveram em Abuja depois de perceberem que a sua estratégia de voltar ao poder não ia ser possível, houve fretamento de aviões que vieram a Bissau para levar alguns bens. E num desses aviões que viajou, a pessoa foi apanhada com o dinheiro. Então, não há dúvida quanto o relacionamento daquele caso com a situação que se vive aqui em Bissau, principalmente com a falha das comunicações. O plano B era retirar todos os bens e colocar em lugares onde podem usar facilmente e, por isso, este acto está a ser visto como uma actuação de desespero", concluiu Fodé Mané.

Le sommet ordinaire de la CEDEAO s'est refermé ce dimanche à Abuja. Hasard du calendrier, ce sommet se tenait une semaine après la tentative de coup d'état au Bénin et moins d'un mois après celui de Guinée-Bissau menacée de sanctions ciblées. Ils demandent la mise en place d'une transition courte et inclusive à Bissau. Ils ne prononcent pas de sanctions dans l'immédiat en revanche des sanctions pourraient cibler toutes personnes empêchant la mise en place des mesures préconisés par la CEDEAO.

Scripture (NIV) Matthew 5:10 — “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” 2 Thessalonians 3:3 — “But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.” Every morning global searches rise for updates and prayer over persecuted believers.

Strengthen believers who worship secretly, who face intimidation, violence or imprisonment for their faith. Protect underground churches, guard families and uphold leaders serving under constant danger. Heal wounds, provide shelter and surround communities with Your supernatural peace.

« Pour arrêter un putsch, il faut que la Cédéao et les États voisins du pays touché interviennent immédiatement, sans laisser le temps aux putschistes de réussir leur coup », dit en substance l'universitaire nigérian Jibrin Ibrahim, cinq jours après les frappes aériennes du Nigeria contre les putschistes du Bénin. Le professeur Jibrin Ibrahim est chercheur principal au Center for Democracy and Development, le Centre pour la démocratie et le développement, à Abuja au Nigeria. Deux jours avant le prochain sommet de la Cédéao à Abuja, il présente la nouvelle stratégie de Lagos, au micro de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Jibrin Ibrahim, l'intervention militaire du Nigeria au Bénin, est-ce que c'est le signe d'un retour de votre pays sur la scène ouest-africaine ? Jibrin Ibrahim : Oui, peut-être, comme dans les années 1980-1990, quand le Nigeria était très actif, comme policier de la démocratie et de la stabilité politique de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Est-ce que l'ère du précédent président nigérian Muhammadu Buhari est terminée avec le président Bola Tinubu qui est en poste depuis 2023 ? Absolument. Le président Tinubu est plus actif que Buhari. Buhari ne voulait pas faire quoi que ce soit. Il était au palais présidentiel et il ne faisait pas grand-chose. Pourquoi le Nigeria est-il intervenu le 7 décembre 2025 contre les putschistes béninois et pas en juillet 2023, contre les putschistes du Niger ? Je pense qu'à Niamey, en 2023, le Nigeria a essayé d'intervenir après les faits et que c'était vraiment difficile, car le nouveau régime était déjà installé. Cette fois-ci, l'idée c'était d'intervenir avant que le coup d'État ne réussisse. Et je pense que c'est une question de méthode. Donc, la leçon de ces derniers jours, c'est que si le Nigeria et la Cédéao veulent empêcher des putschs, il faut intervenir immédiatement ? Exactement. C'est le seul moyen de réussir ce genre d'intervention. Est ce qu'il y a, derrière l'intervention de dimanche dernier, la volonté de mettre un coup d'arrêt à l'épidémie des coups d'État en Afrique de l'Ouest ? Oui, effectivement, il faut savoir qu'il y a un problème de base. Chaque régime actuellement en Afrique de l'Ouest a peur d'un coup d'État. Donc, c'est pour se protéger soi-même. Quand on regarde l'Afrique de l'Ouest actuelle, le Nigeria, le Togo, la Côte d'Ivoire et d'autres pays ont peur d'un coup d'État dans leur propre pays. Donc, protéger d'autres pays contre le coup d'État, c'est se protéger soi-même. Et pour arrêter ce risque, il faut intervenir chaque fois qu'il y a une tentative dans la région. Moi, je pense qu'il est important en Afrique de l'Ouest maintenant de développer une stratégie de ceux qui veulent maintenir la démocratie, qu'ils travaillent ensemble contre les forces de déstabilisation politique et l'arrivée des militaires au pouvoir. Lors du putsch en Guinée-Bissau le mois dernier, le Nigeria n'est pas intervenu militairement, mais il a décidé d'accorder tout de même l'asile politique à l'opposant Fernando Dias, qui est donc réfugié dans l'enceinte de votre ambassade à Bissau. Est-ce que c'est un message aux putschistes  Ça fait longtemps que le Nigeria fait comme ça. Félix Malloum, l'ancien président du Tchad, a été accueilli au Nigéria en 1979, je pense. Donc, il y a cette tradition au Nigeria d'essayer d'intervenir dans les conflits africains. Et quand il y a une crise qui touche le chef de l'État, le Nigeria est toujours prêt à offrir l'exil. Il y a un autre opposant qui proclame sa victoire à une présidentielle de cette fin d'année, c'est le Camerounais Issa Tchiroma Bakary. Depuis le 7 novembre, il s'est réfugié en Gambie. Mais pour aller de Garoua à Banjul, il a dû passer nécessairement par votre pays, non ? Il semble bien qu'il est passé par le Nigeria puisqu'il a traversé la frontière. Il est allé jusqu'à Yola et, à partir de Yola, on lui a donné un avion pour l'amener. C'est ce que les gens disent. Alors pourquoi le Nigeria ne lui a pas accordé l'asile politique ? Et pourquoi Issa Tchiroma a-t-il dû s'éloigner jusqu'en Gambie ? Le Cameroun est un voisin du Nigeria et il y a des questions sur la table. Il y a la guerre contre Boko Haram. Les deux pays sont obligés de travailler ensemble. Donc, avoir Tchiroma Bakary ici au Nigeria, cela peut poser des problèmes diplomatiques et politiques, il faut éviter cela et s'éloigner est peut-être la meilleure stratégie.

A instabilidade volta a marcar a actualidade na Guiné-Bissau, onde o Procurador Geral da República do governo de transição declarou "nulas" as eleições de 23 de Novembro e a família de Domingos Simões Pereira exige uma prova de vida do líder político detido pelos militares. Em Cabo Verde, as autoridades estão a formar profissionais do turismo para prevenir casos de exploração sexual de menores. Já São Tomé e Príncipe celebra a inscrição do Tchiloli como Património Cultural Imaterial da Humanidade pela UNESCO. Na Guiné-Bissau, o  Procurador-Geral da República do governo de transição declarou “nulas” as eleições presidenciais de 23 de Novembro. Amadú Tidjane Baldé, que se reuniu na quinta-feira, 11 de Dezembro, com representantes da Comissão Nacional de Eleições (CNE), afirmou que não existem “condições técnicas” para concluir o processo eleitoral, alegando faltar elementos essenciais para a reconstituição dos resultados. A decisão surge num momento em que a candidatura de Fernando Dias, que reivindica vitória nas presidenciais, pressiona a CNE para convocar uma reunião plenária e oficializar os resultados “o mais rápido possível”. A disputa pelo controlo do processo eleitoral agrava o clima de incerteza no país, desde que os militares assumiram o poder a 26 de Novembro. Junta militar procura legitimidade externa Esta semana, a junta militar que tomou o poder no país reuniu-se com organizações internacionais para discutir a crise e solicitar apoio externo. Os militares garantiram que pretendem libertar a Guiné-Bissau da influência do narcotráfico, um argumento que não convence as organizações da sociedade civil. Para Vigário Luís Balanta, secretário-geral do Movimento Cívico Pó di Terra, a narrativa da junta militar carece de credibilidade. Balanta reforça que o narcotráfico é “o principal factor de instabilidade” no país e que somente com apoio internacional será possível combater um fenómeno que, segundo afirma, tem capturado o regime e destruído a democracia guineense. Organizações de direitos humanos exigem libertação de presos políticos A Liga Guineense dos Direitos Humanos lançou uma campanha para exigir a libertação dos presos políticos detidos após a tomada de poder pelos militares. Entre os casos mais preocupantes está o de Domingos Simões Pereira, líder do PAIGC, detido numa esquadra de Bissau. A família afirma não ter qualquer contacto com o político há “pelo menos 15 dias”. Em declarações à agência Lusa, a filha, Denisa Pereira, revelou que os familiares “temem pela vida” de Simões Pereira e exigem uma “prova de vida”. CEDEAO analisa crise na Guiné-Bissau A instabilidade guineense será discutida este domingo numa cimeira extraordinária da CEDEAO, a realizar-se em Abuja. No entanto, a antiga diplomata portuguesa e ex-candidata presidencial Ana Gomes mostra-se céptica quanto à capacidade da organização regional intervir de forma eficaz na resolução da crise política na Guiné-Bissau. Cabo Verde reforça combate ao abuso sexual no turismo Noutro ponto da região, o Instituto Cabo-verdiano da Criança e do Adolescente (ICCA) iniciou acções de formação dirigidas a profissionais do sector turístico. O objectivo é capacitá-los para identificar, prevenir e actuar perante casos de abuso ou exploração sexual de crianças e adolescentes no contexto de viagens e turismo - um problema crescente associado ao fluxo internacional de visitantes. Tchiloli de São Tomé e Príncipe torna-se Património Cultural Imaterial da Humanidade Num raro ponto positivo para a África lusófona, a UNESCO reconheceu oficialmente o Tchiloli, tradicional teatro são-tomense, como Património Cultural Imaterial da Humanidade. A inscrição ocorreu durante a 20.ª Sessão do Comité Intergovernamental para a Salvaguarda do Património Cultural Imaterial, que decorre em Nova Deli, Índia, e encerra este sábado, 13 de Dezembro. O reconhecimento internacional representa um marco para a cultura de São Tomé e Príncipe, garantindo maior visibilidade e protecção a uma expressão artística única que combina teatro, música, dança e narrativa histórica.

Cancer, the silent killer, continues to cast a long shadow over Nigeria, claiming thousands of lives every year. Despite the growing noise about awareness and prevention, many Nigerians are still diagnosed late, when treatment becomes a daunting challenge. As we mark Cancer Awareness Month, experts are sounding the alarm: knowledge is power, early detection is key, and access to care is a lifeline. But what does this mean for Nigerians? How can we bridge the gap in cancer care? Today, on Nigeria Daily, we're tackling these tough questions and more. Join us as we explore the state of cancer awareness, treatment, and care in Nigeria. It's a conversation that could save lives."

My Story   Talk 32   Life after Mattersey (2) Welcome to Talk 32 in our series where I'm reflecting on God's goodness to me throughout my life. Last time I was telling you how the Lord opened up a wider ministry for me after we left Mattersey and we concentrated on Countries in Europe. Today it will be Africa and Reunion Island.   African Countries I have already mentioned my first trip to Africa which was to Burkina Faso in the year 2000 while we were still at Mattersey. The next trip was to South Africa in 2004, just after leaving Mattersey, which I have also mentioned already. The African countries I visited after Mattersey were Ethiopia (five times between 05 and 09), and Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa again, making a total of ten trips overall, half of which were to Ethiopia..   I visited Ghana in 2007 at the invitation of Paul Frimpong Manso, then the Superintendent of the Ashanti Region and later to become the General Superintendent of Assemblies of God in Ghana. Paul had been a student at Mattersey in the nineties, being one of the first to earn our newly validated BA degree and had later returned to take our MA too.   The purpose of my visit was primarily to speak at their pastors' conference and preach at their ordination service for new ministers. I was treated like royalty despite the fact that they were all smartly dressed in suits and ties – and some even with clerical collars – while I wore a short sleeved open-necked shirt, a special concession granted to me as someone unaccustomed to the temperature which, although it was only January, was far too high for my liking – a problem I was to face later in India in 2010.   It was a privilege to see the great work that Paul was doing and to know that he valued highly the teaching he had received at Mattersey. One of the things he had said to his fellow-students about my teaching on the Holy Spirit was that in Ghana they not only believed the things I taught but that they also put them into practice! Miracles seem to happen more often in Africa than they do in Europe, but often there is a lack of sound biblical teaching to go with them. The truth is, we need both. And a major part of my ministry has been to emphasise this.   My visit to Nigeria in 08 was unique in that the invitation did not come from any of the usual sources. Barrie Taylor is my daughter Sarah's father-in-law and has exercised an ongoing ministry for many years visiting Nigeria and by regular visits has developed a strong relationship with some of the churches there. As a result they respectfully refer to him as Uncle Barrie.       Barrie invited me to accompany him on one of these trips and I was delighted to do so. We flew to Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, and were met by pastors John Sarota and Vitalis Yahemba, the CEO of Truth and Life Ministry. We travelled by car to Kaduna a journey of some 200 kilometres to the north of Abuja and stayed at the Catholic Social Centre sleeping in relatively comfortable rooms.   But I confess I was disturbed at times by the high-pitched buzz an occasional mosquito flapping its wings at 250 times a second and by the fear that one might find its way under the mosquito net. Another disturbance early each morning was the sound of the muezzin calling from the minaret of a local mosque reminding faithful Muslims to pray. Kaduna lies very close to the northern area of Nigeria which is predominantly Muslim and where so many Christians have lost their lives for their faith.   Despite the ever-present Muslim threat, Christians from the area gathered in large numbers, evidenced by the fact that while we were there the total attendance was around 2,500, meetings being held at Talmo College in a hall holding about 800 and the messages relayed to four marquees and translated into four different tribal languages. We both felt that the trip had been well worthwhile and I was particularly grateful for the opportunity to get to know Barrie better and to discover how much we both had in common.   I went to South Africa again in November 2009 at the request of Paul Alexander to teach at the Africa School of Missions which he had founded some time previously. I enjoyed teaching the small class of students and the fellowship at mealtimes with staff members too. However, there were long periods each day when I had little to do and, apart from a quick visit to the Kruger National Park, which I had visited with Eileen in 04, I needed to find something to do to occupy my time. So I decided the start writing a new book.   For some time I had been feeling that I should write something that would be useful as a tool in evangelism, and this was confirmed by something Brian Niblock said to me when he was preaching in our church in Brixham. And that's how I came to write my little book, Signs from Heaven – why I believe. To my surprise, the whole thing was finished by the time I left South Africa.   But perhaps the most significant moment about the whole trip was what happened on the flight home. I checked in online at the earliest possible moment and was able to get a seat at the front of economy where there was the most legroom. But after boarding the plane I was soon asked by a flight attendant if I would vacate my seat as someone had been taken ill and needed easy access to a seat on that row. So I ended up sitting in a different seat, but on the same row and, as it turned out, right next to the man who was unwell.   He was accompanied by his wife who explained to me that only a few days earlier they had flown to South Africa for a holiday but on arrival her husband had been rushed to hospital. His condition, the details of which I forget, was quite rare, totally unexpected, potentially fatal, and required specialist treatment. They were returning to England in a state of shock and understandably very worried.   They asked me what I had been doing in South Africa, and I said that among other things I had been writing a book about miracles. I said something like,   It sounds like you need a miracle right now.   It turned out that they were Catholics and, though they hadn't been to church for a long time, certainly did believe in miracles. I shared the gospel with them, prayed for them, gave them a copy of my book on healing, and posted them Signs from Heaven as soon as it was published. Years later she told me that her husband, who had made an unexpectedly quick recovery, had now died, but that that encounter on the plane had restored their faith in the Lord Jesus.   My first trip to Ethiopia was in January 2005 at the invitation of Heikki Pentinnen, a Finnish missionary who was organising an international charismatic conference in Addis Ababa and looking for a main speaker to take several sessions on the gifts of the Spirit. He had heard about me from Arto Hamalainan who knew me well through our work on the PEF presidium. Hundreds of leaders, including those from Orthodox and Coptic churches, gathered from across Ethiopia for this unique occasion and I was thrilled to see their desire to get a biblical grasp on the work of the Spirit.   I made annual visits for the next four years (2006-09) teaching for one or two weeks in a Bible College in Addis at the invitation of Canadian missionaries Jeremy and Teresa Feller with whom I usually stayed. Jeremy and Teresa's parents, Brian and Valerie Rutten, had all come to Mattersey to take our MA in Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies and were keen to have me come and teach in the college where they were serving with PAOC (Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada).   On at least two of these occasions, I was accompanied by Eileen who loved the country and its wonderful people. Apart from the teaching in the college we were taken on lengthy trips to parts of the country which were far hotter than Addis where the climate is more acceptable because of its high altitude. One such trip in February 07 was to Awassa some 290 kilometres to the south. Eileen's journal captures the memory very well: Lush vegetation, bananas, sugar cane. Beautiful. Lakes, mountains, animals, people, donkey carts. Small groups of huts. Camels, ostrich, hyena. A dead animal being eaten by a vulture and a dog watching and waiting, Young children herding animals, carrying heavy loads, water, bundles of leaves, sticks.   The Pentecostal Church in Awassa where I preached on the Sunday was one of the largest in Ethiopia. 2000 people gather at 6.00 every morning to pray. There were 6000 in the 9am service. They have six branch churches with a total membership of 12,000. God is doing amazing things in Ethiopia and I'm so grateful to have had the privilege of teaching and preaching there over those few years.   And I'm grateful, too, that we were able to fund the translation into Amharic of Body Builders, my book on spiritual gifts. Despite the massive growth of the church, Ethiopian church leaders recognise their need of sound biblical teaching and if I have made at least a small contribution to that, the Lord be praised.   Ile de la Réunion (Reunion Island) Located in the Indian Ocean between Africa and India, the Ile de la Réunion is an overseas French territory. I have already mentioned in an earlier chapter how in 2004 I was the main speaker at the French National Pastors' Conference in Bordeaux. It was there that I met David Cizéron who told me about his father's work in Réunion and gave me a book about him. Aimé Cizeron was now with the Lord, but I was fascinated with the account of his apostolic ministry as a result of which some 40 churches had been planted all over the island.   So I was pleasantly surprised a year later to receive an invitation to be a guest speaker at the 40th Anniversary Celebration of the founding of ADD in Réunion in 2006. They were happy to pay the airfares for both Eileen and me and, as I learnt later, as a tropical island Réunion is a much sought after holiday destination particularly for the French. But we had accepted the invitation well before we knew all this because I was determined to visit the place where 5000 people were gathering within four weeks of the start of Cizéron's ministry as a result of the miracles of healing that were taking place.   So in April 06 we flew to Réunion via Paris, landing at the Roland Garros airport to be greeted by a TV crew asking how we were expecting the eight days of meeting to go. I was very tired after what had been an extremely long journey, made worse by an eleven hour delay in Paris, and simply replied, I believe the Lord will bless us greatly, which he certainly did.   But that did not mean that everything would go smoothly. The very next day, our hosts, Patrick and Joanna, were showing us round a market in Saint Denis when they met a friend and introduced us to her. She then said something very strange: You are not afraid of the Chikungunya? Now there were some live chickens for sale in the market and, not knowing what Chikungunya was, I thought it must be something to do with chickens.       But no. Chikungunya is a highly infectious disease borne by mosquitoes and potentially fatal! The entire island was affected by it and we had not noticed the warnings about it when we arrived at the airport. We found out later that Tom Trask, American AoG General Superintendent and guest speaker at the conference, had been warned about it in advance, but somehow no one had thought to tell us.   But despite all that, we had a great eight days of meetings and the Lord not only preserved us from the chikungunya but greatly blessed all the meetings and ministry. So much so that we were invited back the following year for a longer visit where I conducted seminars for the pastors on spiritual gifts, preached in two evangelistic meetings, and took a series of Bible studies from Monday to Friday in the church in Saint Denis.   The people were really hungry for the Word of God. In each evangelistic meeting over 200 people came forward in response to the gospel appeal, and there were over 700 each night for each of the Bible studies. My subject, as usual, was spiritual gifts, but I shall never forget the remarkable way some one came to Christ at the close of one of those meetings. But first I need to tell you about Véronique.   Véronique was a kind lady who took us to explore various parts of the island during the daytime when there were no meetings until the evening. Réunion is a volcanic island and one such trip involved driving to the top of the volcano and then walking down into its crater. This was apparently quite safe even though the volcano erupted quite frequently and the steam was still rising from the lava months after the last eruption.   One of the days we were there was a public holiday and Véronique had taken her children to the beach. While she was there she told a friend about the meetings and persuaded her to come. She came to the meeting and was so overwhelmed by the worship that she felt she had to leave. But when she was about ten minutes away from the church she suddenly heard the music from the church coming through her mobile phone. No one had called her and, unable to think of any natural explanation, she felt compelled to return to the meeting. She sat through it in tears and at the end, although I had not made a gospel appeal, came forward and asked how she could be saved. It was such a joy to be able to lead her to the Lord and to learn later that she was regularly attending her local ADD church.   So the Lord was using us and blessing us in so many different ways and I look back on those years with great gratitude to God. Next time I'll be talking about our trip to India in 2010 when I began to experience very real health challenges for the first time in my life.

Paul Donison responds to global reaction to Gafcon's reset of the Anglican Communion and its declaration that Canterbury's time is over.The Lord is removing his Spirit from the Canterbury–Lambeth lampstand, and the centre of global Anglicanism is shifting from London to Africa.The average Anglican today is not English, not Western, not male — she's a young African woman in her twenties, probably Nigerian. The Anglican Communion is now catching up with that reality.Since the Gafcon Primates' announcement on 16 October 2025 — declaring that Canterbury is out and that the Bible will be the foundation document for a reordered Global Anglican Communion — reaction has been electric: claims of schism, conflict in Ireland, tensions in ACNA, questions about women's orders, realignments in England, silence from some primates, and fresh courage from others.And what does this mean for a blended province like Australia?Gafcon General Secretary Paul Donison joins us with an update on plans for the Global Bishops Gathering in Abuja, Nigeria, 3–6 March 2026.The Church Cohttp://www.thechurchco.com is a website and app platform built specifically for churches.  Advertise on The Pastor's HeartTo advertise on The Pastor's Heart go to thepastorsheart.net/sponsorSupport the show

La secte terroriste connue sous le nom Boko Haram a lancé une insurrection armée en 2009 pour établir un État islamique, tuant des dizaines de milliers de personnes et déplaçant plus de deux millions dans le nord-est du Nigeria. Pour résoudre cette crise sécuritaire et humanitaire qui frappe également les pays voisins, Abuja a lancé plusieurs programmes de réconciliation et de réintégration pour favoriser les défections dans les rangs de Boko Haram et de l'Iswap. Une perspective qui indigne certaines victimes, qui se sentent abandonnées par l'État. De notre correspondant au Nigeria,  La colère ne quitte plus Aisha. En 2011, son fils est pris dans une énorme rafle de l'armée nigériane, car il était suspecté, comme des milliers d'hommes, d'être un Boko Haram. Aujourd'hui, Aisha ne sait pas si son enfant est encore vivant. Et malgré les intimidations, cette septuagénaire au visage fin et tatoué, hurle à l'injustice à la face des autorités politiques et militaires qu'elle croise dans Maiduguri. « Le gouvernement fédéral ne nous reconnaît pas comme citoyens nigérians. Pourquoi il accepte les repentis ? Et en plus, il les réintègre dans la communauté ? Pourquoi l'armée ne libère-t-elle pas nos enfants pour qu'on puisse connaître la vérité ? Le gouvernement incarcère nos enfants sans jugement et accepte les repentis de Boko Haram. Ce n'est pas cela la justice pour moi », dénonce Aisha. Abba Ashigar réajuste sa prothèse orthopédique remplaçant sa jambe gauche : cet étudiant a survécu à un attentat suicide. Le 16 janvier 2017, il entre avec son père et son jeune frère dans une des mosquées du campus de l'Université de Maiduguri. À peine l'imam démarre la prière de l'aube, un kamikaze déclenche son engin explosif. « Même si vous voulez pardonner, vous ne saurez pas vraiment ce que vous pouvez pardonner. Voulez-vous dire que je dois pardonner à ceux qui ont commis un attentat suicide dans la mosquée ? Ou à ceux qui ont organisé cet attentat ? Ou à ceux qui les ont financés ? Qui dois-je pardonner ? », interroge Abba. À lire aussiNigeria: comment j'ai basculé dans Boko Haram [1/5] Le jeune frère d'Abba, ainsi que trois autres personnes, ont succombé à leurs blessures. Abba est encore marqué psychologiquement par ce drame même s'il se dit fort. Comme Aisha, Abba est choqué par le retour sans procès des repentis Boko Haram : « Comment vous, le Gouverneur de l'État de Borno, vous les gens du gouvernement fédéral, vous osez simplement ramener ces gens ? Ceux qui ont massacré votre mère sous vos yeux. Ceux qui ont massacré votre père, vos voisins. Ou ceux qui ont commis des attentats-suicides contre vous. Les ramener simplement dans la ville, puis dire : "Ce sont des repentis". Pourquoi se repentiraient-ils devant nous ? » Loin de se laisser abattre, Abba se concentre sur son master en statistiques. Et chaque jour, il retourne prier dans la même mosquée du campus, pour le repos de l'âme de son petit frère.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Father Benedict Kiely, founder of Nasarean.org and one of the world's leading voices on the persecution of Christians.We discuss the genocide unfolding in Nigeria, where thousands of Christians are being murdered each year by Islamist militias while Western governments and media look away. Father Kiely exposes how the massacre of Christians is dismissed as “climate change” violence, a lie repeated by politicians and journalists unwilling to name Islamist extremism.From ISIS's resurgence across Africa and the Middle East to the silent persecution of Christians in Iraq under Iranian-backed militias, Kiely lays bare a pattern of denial stretching from Abuja to Washington. He explains how Christianity faces extinction in its ancient homelands, the failure of the West's moral leadership, and why Europe's collapse of faith has left it powerless to confront evil.We also explore stories of hope, the revival of Christianity in post-communist Albania, the endurance of believers speaking Aramaic in Iraq, and why, despite centuries of persecution, faith refuses to die.All this: Nigeria's genocide, Islamist expansion, the silence of the West, and the rebirth of Christianity where it was once crushed.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:18 Father Benedict Keeley's Role and Media Coverage02:54 Genocide in Nigeria and Media Bias08:41 Islamist Extremism Across Africa26:42 Situation in Syria and the Role of Al-Qaeda33:04 Christian Persecution in Sudan 40:08 Christian Persecution in Europe and the Role of the Media1:04:06 Challenges Faced by Christians in the UK1:11:59 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

Donald Trump has suggested the US could deploy troops to Nigeria or carry out air strikes to stop what he called the killing of Christians by Islamist insurgents. Unfounded claims of a Christian genocide in Nigeria have been circulating in American right-wing religious circles for months. A Nigerian presidential adviser said jihadists in the Muslim-majority north of the country were attacking all religious communities, but that Abuja would welcome US help in tackling the Islamist insurgents.Also: the sole survivor of the Air India plane crash has told the BBC that he feels he is the luckiest man alive. Officials in Iran warn the main source of drinking water for residents of Tehran is at risk of running dry within two weeks. Flight delays continue across the US, as air traffic controllers working without pay due to the government shutdown are now calling in sick. The Maldives brings in the world's only generational smoking ban, and cricket fans across India celebrate the women's national side winning their first ever World Cup.

Donald Trump menace le Nigeria d'une action militaire si le pays n'arrête pas les "meurtres de chrétiens" par des "terroristes islamistes".  Des accusations démenties par Abuja. Le président américain a inscrit samedi le Nigeria sur la liste des pays "particulièrement préoccupants" en matière de liberté religieuse, et assure que les aides américaines accordées à Abuja vont cesser.
