 NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party. The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress  as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did. Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable.

EGYPT, SUDAN DISCUSS WATER SECURITY. (PHOTO).


 Egypt, Sudan discuss water security


The foreign ministers of Egypt and Sudan held talks in Cairo on Sunday to discuss water security and support for the Horn of Africa country of Somalia, Anadolu Agency reported.


Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty met with his Sudanese counterpart Ali Al-Sharif during which they discussed water security, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.


The two ministers emphasised the necessity of maintaining coordination and cooperation between the two countries to protect their water security, it added.

Egypt and Sudan, two downstream countries, have been at odds with Ethiopia, an upstream nation, over a dam project being built on the Nile River.


Somalia's sovereignty


Cairo fears that the Ethiopian dam will reduce its water share from the Nile River, the country’s only source of freshwater. Ethiopia, however, maintains that the dam is vital for its development and electricity generation


Years of negotiations between the three countries on the dam’s filling and operation have failed to make a breakthrough.


Regarding Somalia, the two ministers agreed on the importance of respecting Somalia's sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity and supported the Horn of Africa country’s efforts to combat terrorism the statement said.


Tensions between Somalia and Ethiopia escalated in January 2024 when Ethiopia signed an agreement with the breakaway Somaliland region, allowing Ethiopia access to its coastline on the Gulf of Aden.


Full support for Sudan


In early December, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced a "historic agreement" between Somalia and Ethiopia to resolve their dispute.


Separately, Abdelatty emphasised Egypt's full support for Sudan amid a deadly conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group since April 2023.


He reiterated Egypt’s call for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan and accelerating the delivery of humanitarian aid into the country.


The conflict in Sudan has claimed more than 20,000 lives, displaced millions, and left over 25 million in dire need of humanitarian aid, according to the UN.
