Politics: Latest African and Global Political News

Want fast, clear updates on political events across Africa and around the world? We collect breaking reports, explain why they matter, and link you to full stories.

Recent posts cover a mix of local and global issues. You can read about Obasanjo praising Governor Alex Otti after the unveiling of Joe Irukwu Way in Abia state, the Senate debate over tax reform bills led by Akpabio, and diplomatic defence talks between Kenya and the US AFRICOM. We also track election fights, impeachment moves, viral claims, and global leaders' decisions that affect our region.

Every story has a short summary, key facts, and links to full coverage so you can get the picture quickly. We highlight why a road project in Abia matters for local business and security, why tax bills could affect everyday budgets, and why defence ties change regional stability.

How we cover politics

Our team verifies official statements, checks timelines, and notes who benefits from each decision. When a clip goes viral we try to confirm whether it is new or an old recording, like the presidency debunking a Tinubu video. We follow courts, parliament, and local governments so readers see both headlines and the rules behind them.

How to follow these stories

Subscribe to alerts, pick topics you care about, and check our full reports for context before sharing. Ask: who said this, when, and why does it matter? That simple check reduces false alarms and keeps conversations useful.

Want quick context? Look for timelines and short explainers we link to under each headline. From impeachment trials in Kenya to election runs in Nigeria, our explainers break down the players, key dates, and possible outcomes.

We also track international moves that matter here, like shifts in Canadian fiscal policy or European leadership changes. These stories can reshape trade, aid, and diplomatic ties across the continent.

If a criminal case touches politics, we note legal angles and what verdicts could mean for public life, like the Lil Durk arrest coverage shows how law and public interest meet.

Stick around, pick stories that matter to your city or country, and use the share buttons when you want friends to know the facts. We update constantly, and our politics page is the place to stay informed without the noise.
