Africa, as a continent, has seen only 11 female presidents to date. One of them significantly stands out among the rest.

Her name is Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. She was the 24th president of Liberia. The only female president to have ruled the West African country.

Ellen ruled Liberia for 12 years, from 2006 to 2018, making her the longest-reigning female president in Africa.

The Liberian constitution allows six per tenure. She was elected president in 2005, took office in 2006, and served until 2011. She was re-elected to office and ruled until 2018, completing two tenures as president.

This makes her the longest-reigning president of Liberia since 1971. Great feat for a female politician.

Which of the female politicians in your country would you like to see rule not just for a tenure but for two?

Mugabe’s Son Faces Drug Charges in Zimbabwe

Robert Mugabe Jr., the son of Zimbabwe’s late former president, has appeared in court after being arrested for allegedly carrying cannabis while driving the wrong way on a one-way street. Police say he had two sachets of the drug and is linked to a group where more drugs were found. His lawyer denies the charges and says the drugs were found in a car with other people. This isn’t Mugabe Jr.'s first run-in with the law, and his arrest has stirred public attention—especially as he recently returned to politics by rejoining the ruling Zanu-PF party once led by his father.

A self-proclaimed “African tribe” called the Kingdom of Kubala was removed from council land in the Scottish Borders after months of defiance. Led by Ghanaian Kofi Offeh (who calls himself King Atehene), the group claimed they were reclaiming stolen ancestral land and rejected court authority. Police, immigration, and sheriff officers swarmed the woodland near Jedburgh, arresting Offeh and others on suspected immigration offences. The group, with over 100,000 followers online, had captured global attention—but their so-called kingdom was dismantled within hours, leaving nothing but black bin bags and controversy behind.

At least three people have been killed and hundreds injured in Morocco as youth-led protests—sparked by anger over corruption and lavish spending on the 2030 World Cup—escalate into the country’s most violent unrest in nearly a decade. The anonymous GenZ 212 movement, organizing via TikTok and Discord, is demanding urgent reforms in healthcare and education, decrying billions spent on stadiums while public services crumble. Despite official claims of violence, the group insists on peaceful demonstrations, even as security forces open fire and mass arrests sweep across 23 provinces. With tensions rising, Morocco’s prime minister says he's open to dialogue—but protests show no sign of slowing.

Denmark has announced a 40% increase in its contribution to the African Development Fund, pledging DKK 1.1 billion ahead of the Fund’s 17th replenishment session in December 2025. This early commitment reflects Denmark’s continued support for low-income African countries and its focus on sustainable development, climate adaptation, and economic resilience. The African Development Fund, the concessional arm of the African Development Bank, finances key projects in sectors such as energy, transport, agriculture, and governance across 37 of Africa’s most vulnerable nations. Denmark’s pledge aligns with its broader strategy for equal partnerships and long-term cooperation with the continent.

In*******al relationships were strictly illegal in South Africa under the apartheid system. This prohibition was enforced primarily through two pieces of legislation: the Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act of 1949, which banned marriages between "White" people and "non-White" people, and the Immorality Act (which had several amendments, notably in 1950 and 1957), which criminalized all sexual relations between the different racial groups. These laws were in effect for decades, creating severe penalties for mixed-race couples, until they were finally repealed on June 19, 1985, by the Immorality and Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Amendment Act.

Madagascar's President Andry Rajoelina has dissolved his government after massive youth-led "Gen Z" protests erupted over chronic water and power shortages, leaving at least 22 dead and 100 injured, according to the UN. The unrest, which began peacefully in the capital Antananarivo, has spread nationwide and triggered a violent crackdown by security forces, including the use of live bullets and arbitrary arrests. In a televised address, Rajoelina apologized for government failures, fired the prime minister, and pledged to form a new administration while expressing a desire to engage directly with the protesting youth. This marks the biggest challenge to his rule since his 2023 re-election.

South Africa’s ambassador to France, Nkosinathi Emmanuel "Nathi" Mthethwa, has been found dead outside the Hyatt Regency hotel in Paris under mysterious and tragic circumstances. The 58-year-old diplomat, who had recently taken up his post in March 2024, was reported missing by his wife after sending a concerning text. His body was discovered on Tuesday near the high-rise hotel, with police confirming a forced-open window from the 22nd floor where he had reserved a room. A veteran anti-apartheid activist and former government minister, Mthethwa's sudden death has sent shockwaves through both South African and international diplomatic circles.

Ghana is set to roll out its first HIV preventive drug in 2026, marking a major milestone in the fight against the virus, which saw over 15,000 new infections last year. Announced by Ghana AIDS Commission boss Dr. Prosper Akanbong, the initiative will begin with imported doses but aims to transition to local vaccine production by late 2026 or early 2027, thanks to support from German agency GIZ and local pharmaceutical companies. This bold step not only strengthens national HIV prevention efforts but also boosts Ghana’s pharmaceutical self-sufficiency.

In a dramatic turn of events, former DR Congo President Joseph Kabila has been sentenced to death in absentia by a military court for war crimes, treason, and crimes against humanity, including murder, torture, and supporting the brutal M23 rebel group. Kabila, who ruled for 18 years and went into exile in 2023, has denied the charges and blasted the trial as politically motivated. The court also slapped him with a staggering $33 billion fine, while critics call the case a weapon of political revenge by current President Félix Tshisekedi. As eastern Congo remains in chaos and a fragile ceasefire teeters, this explosive ruling could further destabilize the region.
