What were you expecting? A bloodless war?: how Cameroon became trapped in a forgotten standoff
The ongoing conflict in Cameroon, rooted in historical colonial divisions, has resulted in significant violence and displacement, particularly affecting the anglophone regions. The conflict, which began in 2016, has seen over 6,000 deaths and a million displaced, with both government forces and separatists accused of severe human rights abuses. The separatist movement, seeking independence for 'Ambazonia', is driven by perceived marginalization by the francophone-dominated government. Despite calls for dialogue, the conflict remains at a stalemate, with both sides entrenched in their positions. The international community's attention is largely elsewhere, leaving Cameroonians caught in a protracted and brutal standoff.

Next of kin await Malaysian government’s decision about new search for MH370
The families of MH370 passengers await the Malaysian government's decision on a new search proposal by Ocean Infinity, which promises a 'no find, no fee' approach. The proposal, discussed by the Cabinet, aims to resume the search for the missing flight, which disappeared in 2014. Various theories about the plane's fate persist, with some suggesting hijacking or mechanical failure. Ocean Infinity's previous search covered extensive ocean areas, and the company now has advanced robotic vessels for the task. The article highlights differing opinions on the search's focus, with some advocating for a broader area based on drift analysis. The narrative also touches on conspiracy theories, misinformation, and the challenges faced by those seeking the truth about MH370's disappearance.

Another deportation as France shows zero tolerance for radical preachers
France has deported Mahjoubi, an imam accused of preaching hate and inciting terrorism, as part of its zero-tolerance policy towards radical preachers. Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin ordered the expulsion, citing Mahjoubi's inflammatory sermons. The decision was upheld by a French judge, despite Mahjoubi's claims of political motivation and plans to challenge the ruling. The French government continues to deport radical preachers and aims to promote French-born imams, with new legislation coming into force to end the practice of welcoming foreign-trained imams.

Petition targets Zamboanga Sibugay mayoral bet over government appointments
A legal and political debate has emerged in Zamboanga Sibugay over the dual roles of Anna Florence Cabilao Yambao, who is running for mayor of Malangas town while holding positions as a municipal councilor and hospital director. A petition filed by Paterna Yeban Calunod with the Commission on Elections challenges Yambao's candidacy, alleging she violated election rules by not resigning from her appointed roles. Yambao argues her council position is elective in nature and cites the Local Government Code to justify her hospital role. The Comelec has yet to decide on the petition, which Yambao views as an attempt to disqualify her from the 2025 mayoral race.

Women fishmongers in Kenya have had little choice in the widespread sex for fish culture. Until now
Women fishmongers in Kenya, particularly around Lake Victoria, have long been subjected to the exploitative 'sex for fish' culture due to dwindling fish stocks and dependency on male fishermen. However, the introduction of cage fishing by the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute has empowered women, allowing them to become self-reliant and avoid sexual exploitation. Women's groups have successfully adopted this method, leading to financial independence and a shift in power dynamics, with some former exploiters now working for these women. The initiative has also contributed to restocking fish in the lake, with government and institutional support aiding in the transition.

Why Nigeria's 'Baby Factories' Continue to Thrive
Child traffickers in Nigeria abduct girls and young women, impregnate them, and sell their babies to childless couples. These 'baby factories' are illegal facilities posing as private clinics, prevalent in southeastern states. Despite police efforts to shut them down, new ones continue to emerge due to high demand for babies, driven by poverty and cultural stigma. Activists and officials highlight the socio-economic conditions and moral decadence contributing to the issue. Legal frameworks exist to combat this practice, with ongoing arrests and advocacy for victims' rights.
