 Alliance of Sahel States rejects ECOWAS timeline for its withdrawal The Alliance of Sahel States (AES) comprised of Mali Burkina Faso and Niger have rejected the timeline issues by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) claiming it is a scheme to destabilize their newfound entity, AP reported. At a summit held a week ago in Abuja, Nigeria, the regional organization announced a six-month withdrawal period to allow the three countries to reconsider their decision after their official departure date at the end of January 2025. But according to the AES heads of state, this decision is “nothing more than yet another attempt by the French and its auxiliaries to continue planning and carrying out destabilizing actions against the AES”. Their communiqué adds that “this unilateral decision is not binding on the ESA countries”. They had already indicated before the summit that their decision to leave the organization was “irreversible”. This will be a “transition period” las...

 Mozambique opposition leader sets terms for talks on election crisis


Mozambique's opposition leader said he would accept the president's offer of talks after deadly post-election unrest on terms including they be held virtually and legal proceedings against him are dropped.


President Filipe Nyusi invited Venancio Mondlane to his office in Maputo on November 26 after the killing of dozens of people in a police crackdown on demonstrations against the results of the October 9 election, AFP reported.


Mondlane, who says the election was rigged in favour of Nyusi's Frelimo party, is believed to have left the country for fear of arrest or attack, but his whereabouts are unknown.


"We are open to dialogue," Mondlane said in a Facebook live address. "It has to be a genuine dialogue, it cannot be full of traps."


A written reply to Nyusi's invitation lists as one condition for the meeting: "That the participation of the elected candidate Venancio Mondlane be virtual."


Authorities have laid criminal and civil charges against him, including for damages caused during protests by his supporters, which has led to his bank accounts being frozen.


Another condition in the document made public by Mondlane's office is that "the judicial proceedings in question must be immediately terminated".


It also lays out 20 points that Mondlane wants on the agenda for talks, including "restoring electoral truth" and prosecuting anyone involved in vote-rigging.


Others are a public apology and compensation for the deaths during the demonstrations, as well as constitutional, economic and electoral reforms.


Rights groups have accused Mozambique authorities of using live ammunition on demonstrators in the country, which has been governed since independence from Portugal in 1975 by Frelimo.


The Centre for Democracy and Human Rights civil society group says around 65 people have been killed. Mondlane on Friday gave a toll of more than 60. Nyusi said Tuesday 19 people had died, including five police officers.


The president is meant to hand over in January to Frelimo candidate Daniel Chapo, whom the election authority says won 71 percent of votes against 20 percent for Mondlane.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
