 SDP PARLEYS MEDIA AHEAD OF 2027 GENERAL ELECTIONS  The Social Democratic Party, SDP has disassociated itself from those calling for the rescheduling of the 2027 general elections due to the confirmed case of Ebola in Nigeria. A statement by the Presidential candidate of the Party, Prince Adewole Adebayo indicates that just one case of the disease recorded is not enough to cancel or reschedule the election that is already at hand, as the situation is not yet a pandemic. He explains that the country has the ability to take care of the situation. The statement further encourages the media to be as independent and unbiased as possible in reporting the forthcoming general election. It emphasises the media's role in sustaining democratic governance in the country. The SDP Presidential candidate encourages media practitioners to get acquainted with the party's manifesto and enlighten the public adequately, enabling them to actively engage the party during campaigns.

 Niger Republic Formally Files For ICC Exit, Slams Court As Neo-Colonial Instrument


The International Criminal Court (ICC) has confirmed receipt of an official "instrument of withdrawal" from Niger Republic, formalising a dramatic break from the Hague-based tribunal that the nation's military leadership has threatened for nearly a year.


The formal notification, submitted to the United Nations on June 18, 2026, makes Niger only the third nation in history to trigger an exit from the international court, following Burundi and the Philippines.


Under the Rome Statute, the withdrawal takes exactly 12 months to finalise, setting Niger’s official departure date for June 18, 2027.


In a scathing letter outlining the decision, Niger’s junta leadership accused the tribunal of systemic bias against African nations.


"While the court had raised great hopes among peoples who cherish peace and justice, it has been misused and exploited. It has become an instrument of neo-colonialist repression practising selective justice."


The exit marks a significant geopolitical shift for the Sahel region. Under General Abdourahamane Tiani, Niger has systematically dismantled its traditional Western alliances. Having already severed ties with European defense partners and pulled out of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Niamey’s exit from the ICC further aligns the nation with its neighbors, Mali and Burkina Faso, under the newly formed Confederation of Sahel States — a bloc increasingly anchored by defense ties with Russia.
