On the Roundup Wrap weekly segment, Mighti Jaime helps us look back at the biggest news stories and events from the past week across Africa and beyond, especially where global developments could have a real bearing on the continent.


** Israel has become the first country to formally recognise Somalia's breakaway region of Somaliland as an independent nation. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said Israel intended to immediately expand cooperation in agriculture, health, and technology. Somaliland's president, Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, called the development "a historic moment".


** The UK is to impose visa restrictions against people arriving from the Democratic Republic of Congo after its government failed to agree to measures allowing the return of illegal migrants and foreign national offenders.


** Niger has announced a total ban on issuing visas to American citizens and their entry into the country. This in response to restrictive measures imposed by the US administration against several African countries, as part of a policy marked by refocusing American diplomacy and hardening its immigration policy.


** An Afrikaner flew to the United States expecting protection. Instead, he has spent months locked up at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Georgia alongside hundreds of other immigrants.




** U.S.-backed air strikes in Nigeria hit two Islamic State-linked camps in the Bauni forest of Sokoto State, targeting foreign fighters infiltrating from the Sahel. The operation marks a rare joint action between Abuja and Washington and underscores growing security cooperation as Islamist violence spreads south from the Sahel.

Round up wrap with political analyst Mighti Jaime

The government of Ghana is reportedly taking formal steps to distance the country from the "Detty December" label, citing concerns over its negative connotations and unofficial status, despite the phrase's significant economic impact on the end-of-year festive season. Kofi Okyere-Darko, Ghana's Director of Diaspora Affairs, says he is uncomfortable with the term and does not want it associated with the nation's image. In West African Pidgin, "Detty" means "dirty", and the term is typically used to describe unrestrained celebrations as people ring in the New Year. For more on this, we are joined on the line by Kofi Okyere-Darko, Ghana's Director of Diaspora Affairs…

To broaden our understanding of the wider implications of the CAR and Guinea elections for Africa’s democratic trajectory and regional stability, we now speak with Dr Alexander Rusero, Head of the Department of International Relations and Diplomacy at Africa University in Zimbabwe.
While observers have focused on the immediate electoral processes, broader geopolitical and regional dynamics are at play including security, foreign influence, and the precedent these elections might set in a region that has seen several coups and constitutional changes in recent years. Dr Rusero brings an international relations perspective to help unpack what these electoral outcomes might mean beyond immediate domestic politics.
