The Encuentro case, involving Danilo Carrera, brother-in-law of former President Guillermo Lasso, merges two investigations into systematic corruption schemes within the Ecuadorian state institutions. Transcripts from conversations among various individuals, including Rubén Cherres, Rafael G, and others, discuss corruption in public enterprises and government positions. The transcripts, which are part of evidence collected by the Prosecutor's Office, reveal discussions about job placements, commissions, and influence within the customs authority, public companies like CNEL, and the Ministry of Energy.

Borno Farmers Recount Losses As Climate Change Worsens Food Insecurity In Nigeria
Farmers in Borno, Nigeria, are experiencing reduced crop yields due to climate change, with high temperatures and unpredictable rainfall. Despite the Nigeria Meteorological Agency's advice on moisture preservation and irrigation, many were unaware and unprepared. The shrinking of Lake Chad and the Boko Haram insurgency exacerbate the region's challenges. Farmers like Umar Abba and Godiya John have faced poor harvests and fear further crop damage from unexpected rain. Maman Sadiq predicts increased hunger due to low farm output and rising food costs.
Locals Forced Into Unusual Tasks To Meet Boko Haram Taxations In Northeastern Nigeria
In Konduga, Borno State, Northeastern Nigeria, locals like farmer Abba Gana and fisherman Yahaya Kifima are coerced into performing errands for Boko Haram to avoid harm and maintain their livelihoods. This includes procuring items such as sugar, salt, and Maggi seasoning, effectively a tax in kind. Noncompliance has led to arrests, detentions, and even death, with the military arresting suspected Boko Haram logistics suppliers. The situation has forced some communities into a reluctant coexistence with the terrorist group for survival. Major General Musa Danmadami reported the arrest of 25 suspects and the seizure of various items in May 2023, although it is uncertain if these individuals are core terrorists or coerced civilians.
After HumAngle Report, Shuwari Camp In Northeastern Nigeria Receives Food Donations
Following a HumAngle report on the dire conditions at the Shuwari camp in Maiduguri, North East Nigeria, where internally displaced persons (IDPs) resorted to eating animal feed due to starvation, a group led by Fatima Mohammad Habib, founder of Advocacy For Human Value Foundation, initiated a crowdfunding campaign. The campaign raised 3.5 million naira to aid the IDPs, targeting 500 beneficiaries initially with plans for subsequent distribution. The Borno State Government's closure of IDP camps in December 2021, intended to reduce reliance on humanitarian aid, has led to IDPs returning to insecure communities and living in unofficial camps with limited access to aid. The article highlights the poor conditions of the food consumed by the IDPs, often leading to sickness, especially in children.

I want to be everything: Nigeria’s herder community heads to school – a first in generations
In Borno State, Nigeria, the Fulani herder community is experiencing a transformative shift as children, displaced by Boko Haram insurgency, gain access to formal education for the first time. The Aisha Buhari Integrated Secondary Fulani School, founded by the Borno State Government with support from the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, aims to break the cycle of poverty and illiteracy. Students like Aisha Malik and Abubakar Mohammad Bello aspire to become professionals, inspired by the school's nurturing environment. Despite challenges, the initiative is seen as a beacon of hope, potentially serving as a model for other regions to address educational disparities and social instability.
Displaced and Desperate: Maiduguri IDPs Face New Crisis with Flooding
The article reports on the plight of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Maiduguri, who have been affected by flooding in their temporary shelter at the Shuwari IDP camp. Hadiza Umaru Ali and Maryam Mohammad are two IDPs who have lost their homes due to the floods. The IDPs, displaced by the Boko Haram crisis, face continuous eviction and have recently moved to a new location prone to flooding. Zanna Rebo, the camp chairman, mentions their struggle to find a stable settlement and the lack of government response to their situation. The IDPs are in a dire state, with some having settled in the new location while others are still in transition, all facing the threat of further displacement.
Borno Farmers Pay High Prices For Government Tractors Meant To Be Cheap
Farmers in Borno State, Nigeria, are being forced to pay high rental prices for government-provided tractors that were supposed to be loaned out cheaply to aid in food production. Despite the state government's announcement of a scheme to provide tractors at discounted rates, farmers are finding that these tractors are not accessible and are instead rented out at commercial rates. Abba Gana, a local farmer, reported having to pay significantly more than expected for ploughing his land. The scheme, which included a warning from Governor Babagana Umara Zulum against the diversion of resources, seems to be failing as officials may be profiting from the rentals. Farmers from various regions within Borno State have expressed their difficulties and the additional financial burden due to this issue. The Ministry of Agriculture, upon being informed by HumAngle, stated they were previously unaware of the situation and promised to address it. The report is part of a project promoting transparency in insurgency-related funding in Northeast Nigeria, in partnership with the MacArthur Foundation.
