Zimbabwe has been elected to serve a two-year term as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), beginning in January 2027. The Southern African nation will replace Somalia, whose term expires on 31 December 2026, and will join the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Liberia as part of the African members, commonly known as the "A3". 

The country is expected to align closely with the African Union's positions and advocate for AU-led approaches to addressing conflicts and security challenges across the continent. This marks Zimbabwe's third stint on the Security Council, having previously served as a non-permanent member in 1983-1984 and again in 1991-1992.

Lulu Gaboo spoke to Dr Alexander Rusero, the Director for the Institute of Peace, Leadership & Governance at Africa University in Zimbabwe.

Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan is on a three-day state visit to Russia, meeting President Vladimir Putin at a time when her government's relations with the West are under strain. Western diplomats and human rights groups have accused her administration of involvement in the killing of hundreds of people during election-related unrest last October, as well as a wave of abductions and killings of government critics in the lead-up to the polls, allegations her government has denied.

The visit is the first by a Tanzanian head of state to Russia since independence leader Julius Nyerere travelled to Moscow in 1969. During a televised meeting at the Kremlin, Hassan described the trip as "historic."

Lulu Gaboo spoke to Dr Albanie Marcossy, a public policy, governance, and development specialist.

The Nigeria Union of Teachers has called on school teachers in Oyo State to embark on an indefinite withdrawal of services over the continued captivity of teachers and pupils abducted during an attack on schools in Oriire.

The mass abduction occurred on May 15, when armed men abducted 39 students and seven teachers in an attack targeting several schools in Nigeria's southwestern Oyo State. Mass kidnappings by armed groups have become a serious security challenge in Nigeria in recent years.
