Egypt: Refugees in hiding amid crackdown involving arbitrary arrests and unlawful deportations

Download logo In recent months, the Egyptian authorities renewed their campaign of arbitrarily detaining and unlawfully deporting refugees and asylum seekers solely on the basis of their irregular immigration status in blatant violation of the principle of non-refoulement and Egyptrsquo;s own asylum law, Amnesty International said today. Refugees or asylum seekers registered with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) are among those unlawfully deported or arbitrarily detained pending deportation. Since late December 2025, police officers in plain clothes have been arbitrarily rounding up nationals of Syria, Sudan, South Sudan and other Sub-Saharan countries from the streets or their...

Nigeria charts new course to revive factories

Nigeria has launched a sweeping industrial policy aimed at restarting idle factories, boosting domestic manufacturing and positioning Africa?s largest economy as a competitive production hub in global supply chains. Federal authorities say the framework is designed to tackle long-standing structural weaknesses that have undermined output, including erratic power supply, limited access to long-term finance, foreign exchange volatility and infrastructure gaps. Manufacturing accounts for less than 10 per cent of gross domestic product, a level economists argue is insufficient for a country of more than 220 million people seeking to diversify away from oil. Officials describe the policy as a...

Tchad : manifestations d?élèves suite à la grève des enseignants


© (DR)
Les élèves des établissements scolaires publics se sont mobilisés ce lundi 16 février 2026 pour perturber les cours dans le secteur privé. Cette réaction fait suite au débrayage des enseignants du public.

Le mot d'ordre de grève de deux semaines, lancé par le Syndicat des Enseignants du Tchad (SET), section de N?Djamena, est devenu effectif aujourd'hui. Dans les établissements publics, les salles de classe sont restées closes et les enseignants absents.
En colère de voir les cours se poursuivre normalement dans le privé alors qu'ils sont privés d'enseignement, les élèves du public ont manifesté pour interrompre les activités scolaires dans les autres établissements. Le mouvement, parti du quartier Walia, s?est rapidement étendu à d'autres zones de la capitale.
Le Logone occidental entre dans la danse
Après N?Djamena, la section du SET du Logone Occidental (SET-LOC) entame également une grève de deux semaines. Cette décision a été prise ce lundi lors d?une Assemblée générale visant à évaluer les négociations avec le gouvernement sur l'application du décret n°2850.
Le SET-LOC dénonce, l'absence d'avancées concrètes sur les revendications des enseignants et la persistance de lenteurs administratives dans le processus de règlement.
En conséquence, le syndicat a décidé d'observer une grève de deux semaines renouvelable, allant du lundi 16 au samedi 28 février 2026 inclus. Il exige l'établissement d'un calendrier clair et public pour la signature du protocole d'accord.
«Toute pression exercée sur les enseignants pour les contraindre à reprendre les cours pendant la période de grève ne saurait être tolérée », prévient le syndicat, qui se réserve le droit de durcir le mouvement en l'absence de progrès significatifs.

Tchad : certains établissements tentent de présenter frauduleusement des candidats au Baccalauréat


© (ONECS)
Le constat a été fait par le directeur des Examens et concours de l'ONECS, Abakar Mahamat Hassaballah à l?issue d?une mission d?évaluation de l?opération d?enrôlement biométrique des candidats de N?Djaména.

Des établissements primaires et des collèges qui tentaient de présenter frauduleusement des candidats au du Baccalauréat ont été démasqués, révèle l?Office National des Examens et Concours du Supérieur (ONECS). L?institution indique que, dans sa quête d'assainissement et de modernisation du système des examens, l'ONECS a mis en lumière, grâce à ses nouveaux mécanismes de contrôle, des pratiques frauduleuses préoccupantes.
« Grâce à nos dispositions de contrôle renforcées, nous avons démasqué des établissements primaires et des collèges qui tentaient de présenter frauduleusement des candidats au du Baccalauréat », a révélé le directeur des Examens et concours.
Il déplore une autre forme d?irrégularité : « nous avons constaté que beaucoup d?établissements ne disposant pas d?autorisation de fonctionnement ont recours à la sous-traitance avec des écoles reconnues. Cette situation a considérablement complexifié notre mission de contrôle ».
Face à ces dérives, le message de l'ONECS est clair et ferme. « Nous avons pris la décision de respecter scrupuleusement les textes de la République. »

Murtala Muhammed?s ?Africa Has Come of Age? and PBAT?s ?Strategic Autonomy?: Quo Vadis? 

Life amp; Style | 5 seconds ago Bola A. Akinterinwa Africa has been object and subject of concern in international politics. It is the most critical region of the world in terms of exploitation and insults. It is also the continent for which musicians have complained to God almighty, asking why Africa is not on the good books of God. True, Africa was partitioned at the 1884 Berlin Conference with a stroke of the pen, a partitioning that divided the same ethnic people. For example, the Yoruba people were divided between Dahomey, now Benin Republic, and Nigeria. The Hausa and Fulani people were similarly divided, some living in Nigeria and some in Niger Republic. As a result, when law...
