Diplomatic tensions in the Horn of Africa are rising after Somalia announced it has severed all agreements with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) , cancelling deals covering port operations, security cooperation and defence. 

Mogadishu accuses Abu Dhabi of actions that undermine Somalia's sovereignty and unity, with tensions further exacerbated by Israel's recent recognition of Somaliland as a sovereign state - a move condemned by the African Union (AU) and many United Nations (UN) member states.

Unathi Batyashe unpacked Somalia's decision to cut ties with the United Arab Emirates and what this escalating diplomatic row could mean for security and geopolitical stability across the Horn of Africa with regional political analyst Omwega Areba in Kenya.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni will seek to extend his four-decade rule on Thursday in an election that has renewed questions about the 81-year-old leader's eventual succession.

Ugandans are faced with a choice of propelling a leader into his fifth decade in power or backing a candidate seeking to capitalise on the desire for change from some quarters. Concerns have been raised regarding reports of violations of freedom of expression and access to information, including acts of harassment, intimidation, arbitrary arrest, and abuse directed at journalists and media practitioners.

Sudan's military-led government has returned to the country's capital after nearly three years of operating from its wartime base in the eastern city of Port Sudan.

Sudan's Prime Minister Kamil Idris told reporters on Sunday that the "government of hope" was officially back in Khartoum and would begin efforts to improve services for the city's beleaguered residents. The military was forced out by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) when civil war erupted between the two sides in 2023.

The army recaptured it in a significant breakthrough last March.  Unathi Batyashe spoke to Advocate Sipho Mantula from the Thabo Mbeki African School of Public and International Aﬀairs.
