Burkina Faso has introduced visa-free entry for all African travelers in an effort to increase the movement of people and goods into the country. African visitors will still need to complete an online application for approval. Burkina Faso now joins countries like Ghana, Rwanda, and Kenya, which have eased travel restrictions for Africans. Citizens of West African states already enjoy visa-free entry, though this could change in the future after Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger pulled out of the regional bloc, ECOWAS. Captain Ibrahim Traoré, who seized power in 2022, promotes Pan-Africanism and often criticizes Western influence but faces backlash over his authoritarian rule and the ongoing Islamist insurgency.

Ebonyi state bãns house and land agents

Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru reportedly announced that starting from 2026, house and land agents will no longer be allowed to operate in Ebonyi State.

The move is aimed at curbing rising rents, blaming agents for expl0iting residents by charging huge fees sometimes up to N500k over properties that are not even theirs.

From next year, no agent will be permitted to collect money from anyone seeking accommodation in the state.

In a landmark ruling, a Nigerian court has struck down the rule that forced soldiers to serve a minimum of 15 years before they could resign. The case was filed by Flight Lieutenant J.A. Akerele, who said he was unfairly treated after trying to leave the Air Force. His flight training was abruptly terminated, his career stalled, and he was even declared absent without leave. The court ruled that the policy was “oppressive” and violated “fundamental rights.” In his decision, the judge condemned the military’s actions, describing them as "modern-day slavery under the guise of national service."

Former Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Justice Minister Constant Mutamba has been sentenced to three years of forced labor for embezzling public funds, including money intended for war victims' compensation. Mutamba transferred $19 million from the ministry's bank account to Zion Construction, which was meant to compensate victims of war crimes committed by Ugandan and Rwandan forces in Kisangani. He is also barred from voting or standing for election for five years and ordered to repay the $19 million. Earlier this year, he proposed making embezzlement a capital offense but now claims the case is a “political plot” by Rwanda.
