 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...

 Tanzania opposition leader Mbowe released on bail


Tanzania's main opposition leader Freeman Mbowe has been released on bail, his party said Saturday, after he was detained just days before local polls, AFP reported.


The elections are viewed as a barometer for President Samia Suluhu Hassan, who took over in 2021 with promises of reforms and improved civic freedoms - only to disappoint international observers, who point to a return to her predecessor's repressive policies.


The party said on Friday that he and other party figures had been "forcibly" detained by officers after leaving a rally that police broke up using tear gas in the country's south.


In a post on social media platform X early Saturday, Chadema confirmed Mbowe and other detained figures from the party had been released on bail.


'Severely beaten'


"Some of our colleagues were severely beaten by the police despite the fact that nobody resisted the arrest," Mbowe said following his release.


He said officers had accused them of "violating the campaign schedule" with their intended rally, labelling the allegation "baseless".


"I believe this is a deliberate move to disrupt our planned campaigns," he said, in a video shared by the opposition.


He added t hat police were still holding some Chadema members, and that he and others had been told to report back on November 29, but that he intended to consult lawyers.


Barometer of politics


Only last month, Mbowe and his deputy Tundu Lissu - as well as other opposition figures - were briefly detained after riot police prevented a mass rally in the commercial capital Dar es Salaam.


The local polls slated for November 27 are expected to be a barometer of the political landscape ahead of a presidential election due next October.

  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...
