AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Niger’s Rights Crackdown: Niger’s military-run government has enacted a new penal code criminalising same-sex relations, with jail terms of 5 to 10 years (and 10 to 20 years for same-sex marriage), plus fines—sparking renewed concern over civil liberties under General Abdourahamane Tiani’s rule. Sahel Security Pressure: The wider region remains on edge after major terrorist violence, with Mali facing one of its worst crises in years following large-scale attacks that killed top officials, while Niger and Burkina Faso continue efforts to push back. Cross-Border Pipeline Push: Algeria’s SONATRACH has broken ground on its Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline section, linking Nigeria’s gas through Niger to Algeria and onward to Europe—an infrastructure drive that could reshape energy flows. Regional Education Under Threat: In Nigeria, DSS and Army units foiled an Eastern Security Network plot to abduct WAEC students in Enugu, Anambra and Imo, recovering weapons and items meant to disguise attackers as NYSC personnel. World Economy Watch: The World Bank cut its global growth forecast to 2.5% for 2026, warning Middle East war impacts are hitting developing countries hardest.
