17 h. ago Ghanaian cocoa communities mobilised against galamsey to protect livelihoods and environment

Awakwai is a farmer in the Sika Nti community at Asankragua in the Western Region. When he migrated to the community to work on a cocoa farm to make a living, he entered into a land tenure arrangement to farm his cocoa. But he will soon lose the land as the owner has sold the land out for mining. Without a farm and any alternative source of income, the young man was faced with a dilemma: the choice to either live on an empty stomach or take up employment at an illegal mining site, locally known as ‘Galamsey’. The Chief of Jomoro, Nana Kwame Ketebu II, acknowledged that “any survival that affects the environment is unsustainable.”

34 h. ago The Paradox of power: Why military coups in Africa perpetuate rather than solve governance crises

The resurgence of military coups across Africa since 2020 represents a troubling regression in the continent's democratic trajectory. From the attempted coup in Benin on December 7, 2025, led by Lieutenant Colonel Pascal Tigri, to the successful overthrow in Guinea-Bissau on November 26, 2025, orchestrated by Brigadier General Dinis Incanha, the contemporary landscape reveals a disturbing pattern. This wave includes coups in Gabon (August 30, 2023) under General Brice Oligui Nguema, Niger (July 26, 2023) by General Abdourahamane Tchiani, the dual coups in Burkina Faso (September 30, 2022, and January 24, 2022) led first by Lieutenant Colonel Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba and then Captain Ibrahim Traoré, Sudan's October 25, 2021, power grab by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Guinea's September 5, 2021, takeover by Colonel Mamady Doumbouya, and Mali's May 24, 2021, coup orchestrated by Colonel Assimi Goïta.
