NIGER REPUBLIC 🇳🇪:THE NIGERIEN GOVERNMENT HAS WARNED CHINA 🇨🇳; “EITHER WE RENEGOTIATE THE OIL AGREEMENT AMICABLY... OR WE STOP EVERYTHING!” AND “INSTEAD, WE'RE LOOKING FOR A NEW PARTNER.”

Tensions are escalating between NIGER and its CHINESE partners over crude oil exploitation, after NIAMEY deemed the terms of the oil transport contract via the NIGER-BENIN pipeline unfair and detrimental to its national interests. Authorities have issued an ultimatum to the CHINA NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (CNPC), giving it until October 30 to thoroughly review its oil agreements, failing which NIGER could face the difficult decision to completely halt oil production. The outlines of this predicament began with the issuance of a presidential decree on July 29, creating specialized committees to reassess the country's strategic partnerships.

The work of the committee responsible for the mining and petroleum sectors revealed serious points of contention, notably the exorbitant cost of transporting crude oil. This amount far exceeds global tariffs, which generally do not exceed $3 to $7 for a 1,980-kilometer pipeline.

These excessive costs have a direct impact on public finances, as the price of a barrel of Brent crude on global markets is approximately $62.45.
This means that if WAPCO's highest tariff ($51) is applied, NIGER'S profits will not exceed $11.45 per barrel.

The second point of contention concerns the lack of transparency and the continued and total technical dependence on CHINA. The committee demanded an independent financial and technical audit of the pipeline project with a total cost of $2.3 billion, but the CHINESE company categorically refused.

This project, delivered “turnkey” to the former regime, has reduced NIGER to a mere satellite. The state has no control over the DESIGN, MONITORING, MAINTENANCE, or even precise knowledge of the implementation costs and the quality of the materials used.
This ambiguity, combined with the absence of any process for transferring knowledge and expertise or capacity building, prevents NIGER from developing its skills and leaves it at the mercy of foreign companies exploiting its natural resources.

TWO siblings aged eight and three have allegedly been defiled by a man known to the family only as Bashi Loveness (father of Loveness) in Kitwe's Copperbelt University (CBU) compound.

Copperbelt police commanding officer Pathias Siandenge said in a statement that the defilement is believed to have happened between October 1 and 10, 2025, at the house where the victims stay.

"On Sunday, around 09:00 hours, the said suspect took the victims to the toilet and had s*x with the eight-year old girl and warned her not to tell anyone about it," Mr Siandenge said.

NEWS UPDATE: SIX-YEAR-OLD BOY FOUND DEAD IN STATIONARY VEHICLE AT A CAR WASH

A six-year-old boy of Livingstone’s Dambwa Site and Service has been found dead and in a decomposed state inside a stationary motor vehicle at a local car wash.

Southern Province Police Commanding Officer Auxensio Daka identified the deceased as Felix Kabubi stating that the death is believed to have occurred between October 14, 2025, around 14:00 hours and October 16, 2025, around 10:00 hours.

Mr. Daka explains that the deceased, who was reported to be a child of unsound mind, was last seen at home by his 39-year-old mother, Beatrice Phiri, on October 14 around 11:00 hours.

He says it is believed that Felix wandered off unnoticed and entered a non-runner vehicle parked at the car wash operated by Innocent Mubiana, where he became trapped and later died.

Mr. Daka adds that the body was discovered by passersby who were drawn to the scene by a foul smell and upon inspection by police, no signs of physical trauma were observed.

The Police South Chief says investigations revealed that the vehicle’s keys had been lost and only one rear door was used for access, which the child is believed to have entered through but was unable to exit.

Mr. Daka adds that the discovery of the body triggered a mini riot in the nearby Zambezi Sawmills Compound, where some suspected criminal elements took advantage of the commotion to rob charcoal sellers and other residents of cash and valuables.

He says the situation was brought under control after police officers arrived at the scene, though the suspects had fled by then.

INTERNATIONAL: SOUTH SUDANESE WOMAN FOUND DEAD IN KAMPALA

A young South Sudanese woman identified as Victoria Dawa was found dead in her hotel room in Kampala, Uganda, on Thursday morning, October 16, 2025.

According to information obtained by Lilayi Radio Online Victoria had reportedly travelled to Kampala three weeks ago with a man from Eritrea. The two were said to have previously worked together in Bor, Jonglei State, before traveling to Uganda.

Sources allege that the man booked a hotel room for him and Victoria in Kampala but left a week later without informing her. She was later found dead in her room under unclear circumstances.

Authorities in Kampala have since launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of death, as no signs of illness were recorded prior to the incident.

Victoria hailed from Mvolo County in Western Equatoria State and was reportedly of mixed Jur and Zande descent. She was also said to be married to a man from Darfur, Sudan.
