Cameroon – Dion Ngute in Bamenda: Can Dialogue Work Without the Separatists?

Ten years after the start of the Anglophone crisis, Prime Minister Joseph Dion Ngute has relaunched community dialogue in Bamenda and Buea. The figures cited are 6,500 civilians killed, 700,000 people displaced and 488,000 children deprived of schooling. The initiative, held in Bamenda on October 15, 2026, is questioned because it reportedly excludes key conflict actors and lacks a credible roadmap and parliamentary involvement.

Iraq parliament approves al-Zaidi’s cabinet amid growing economic concerns

Iraq’s parliament completed the formation of Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s government by approving 11 vacant cabinet posts and three deputy prime ministers. Nayef al-Shammari was named defence minister and Yasir al-Maliki interior minister, while a vote on the migration and displacement minister was postponed amid party disagreements. One approved deputy prime minister is Laith al-Khazali, a senior figure in the Iran-backed Asaib Ahl al-Haq movement, which the United States designated a foreign terrorist organisation. Al-Zaidi said the government must tackle economic and security challenges as Iraq faces severe liquidity shortages linked to the war and reduced oil revenues.

Israel halts commercial goods from entering Gaza; Hamas denies tax claims

Israeli authorities say no commercial goods have entered the Gaza Strip for two days after COGAT announced a halt on Wednesday, citing a tax dispute between local merchants and Hamas. COGAT accused Hamas of imposing a 10,000-shekel ($3,220) fee per truck and requiring 30 percent of sales to be paid in cash. Gaza’s government media office denounced the claims on Thursday as disinformation, saying the payment was voluntary and went to an aid fund, while cash was encouraged because of a severe shortage but was not mandatory. The suspension threatens a crucial source of food and goods for Gaza’s 2.1 million residents as famine fears persist.

DRC: Activities of Kabila’s PPRD and Twelve Other Parties Banned Nationwide

Congolese Interior Minister Jacquemain Shabani ordered on October 15 a nationwide ban on the activities of Joseph Kabila’s PPRD and twelve other political parties. He instructed provincial governors to implement the measure immediately and report back. The document gives no reasons, duration, or legal basis for the ban, and does not dissolve the parties. The decision comes three days after the announcement in Goma of the creation of the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation, chaired by Kabila, though the ministry’s message does not refer to it.
