The author described the climate crisis as a water crisis, saying the Morava River near the Czech, Slovak and Austrian border, close to where it enters the Danube, had never been so low in the time they had lived there since 1980. They said it looked almost possible to cross on foot and called the level unprecedented. The author added that their mother had sent the image the previous day. https://t.co/U0j41B7AY3 #ClimateCrisis #WaterScarcity #Sustainability #CZ #SK #AT

The author wrote that Pakistan was on the frontlines of climate chaos despite contributing only a tiny fraction of global emissions. They said their visit during the 2022 floods would stay with them and that the disaster had revealed a profound injustice, adding that G20 countries were responsible for 80% of global emissions. #ClimateCrisis #G20 #Pakistan #PK #G20

The author wrote that Dana Fisher of Talking Climate Collaborative had spoken at Climate Week NYC about online climate misinformation, which she attributed to a small, vocal group funded by fossil fuels. The post also quoted Fisher as saying the group was a minority, but that many people were afraid to discuss climate change.

The dangers of the climate crisis are real. But so is the hope & rise of clean energy: The sun belongs to no one. The wind cannot be embargoed. Innovation can come from everywhere. Renewables are now the cheapest source of new electricity in most of the world. And the most #ClimateCrisis #CleanEnergy #Renewables #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Sea-level rise is measured in millimetres.   But its toll is measured in millions of shattered lives, uprooted communities & stolen futures.  The world must answer the SOS — with those on the frontlines front & centre in every decision. #UNGA #ClimateCrisis #SeaLevelRise #FrontlineCommunities #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

AFRICA DAILY REPORT — 23 SEPTEMBER 2026 Major developments reported during the previous 24 hours 1. SOUTH SUDAN — Kiir dissolves transitional government ahead of December election Importance: 10/10 — Critical President Salva Kiir dissolved South Sudan’s transitional government after signing amendments that remove requirements to complete a permanent constitution and census before the long-delayed national election. The opposition has challenged the changes, while the move fundamentally reshapes the political framework ahead of what is intended to be the country’s first national election since independence.

SUDAN — US links Burhan’s UN visa to proposed ceasefire Importance: 9.5/10 — Very High The United States is withholding a visa for Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan ahead of the UN General Assembly, according to Reuters sources, in connection with a US-backed proposal for a 90-day ceasefire that Khartoum has resisted. Sudan has asked the UN to intervene, and its foreign minister is expected to address the General Assembly instead if the dispute is not resolved.

SUDAN — Currency collapse deepens civilian economic crisis Importance: 9/10 — Very High Sudan’s pound has lost nearly half its value in army-controlled territory since May, trading at around 7,500 pounds to the dollar on the black market versus about 4,100 in May. Reuters links the collapse to the economic fragmentation created by the war, reduced state revenues and wartime spending. The depreciation is driving up the cost of basic goods and worsening hardship for civilians and returning refugees.

DR CONGO — Government orders investigation into violence at anti-government protest Importance: 8.5/10 — Very High DR Congo’s justice minister ordered a judicial investigation into violence during the September 15 opposition protest in Kinshasa, including reports of injuries, arrests, property destruction and a death. The demonstration opposed a proposed constitutional change that could allow President Félix Tshisekedi to seek another term. Police used tear gas, while clashes were also reported between opposition demonstrators and pro-government groups.

RWANDA / BELGIUM — Diplomatic relations restored after 18-month rupture Importance: 8/10 — High Belgium and Rwanda have resumed diplomatic relations 18 months after breaking ties amid their dispute over the conflict in eastern DR Congo. The restoration is diplomatically significant because Belgium has been a prominent European actor in the Great Lakes region and relations deteriorated sharply over allegations concerning Rwanda’s role in the Congolese conflict.

LIBYA — Armed group shuts pipeline valve, reducing Sharara oil production Importance: 8/10 — High An unidentified armed group closed a valve on the pipeline connecting Libya’s major Al-Sharara oil field with Zawiya, reducing production. The National Oil Corporation warned that a prolonged shutdown could force it to declare force majeure and could also affect the Zawiya refinery. The disruption again demonstrates the vulnerability of Libya’s oil-dependent economy to armed-group pressure and political fragmentation.

MOROCCO — Parliamentary election puts youth participation and social pressures in focus Importance: 7.5/10 — High Nearly 16 million registered voters are eligible to elect Morocco’s 395-member House of Representatives today. Youth disengagement is a major issue: Africanews/AFP reports that only around 4% of registered voters are aged 18–24. Employment, housing, public services and the legacy of the Gen Z-led protests are central themes surrounding the vote.

TUNISIA — 2026 confirmed as hottest summer on record Importance: 7.5/10 — High Tunisia’s National Meteorological Institute says summer 2026 was the country’s hottest since records began in 1950. Average temperatures were about 2.9°C above the previous record, with prolonged heatwaves, exceptionally warm nights, water shortages and electricity cuts. Kairouan reached 49.7°C in July.

GUINEA — Exiled opposition leader says authorities revoked his passport Importance: 7/10 — Significant Guinean opposition figure Cellou Dalein Diallo says his passport was revoked as he prepared to travel from Abidjan to New York for meetings on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Diallo has lived in exile since 2022. His UFDG party was dissolved in March along with other opposition parties, adding the passport case to wider concerns about political restrictions under President Mamady Doumbouya.

KENYA / AFRICA AT UNGA — Ruto presses for reform of global financial architecture Importance: 7/10 — Significant At the Partners for Multilateralism summit during UN General Assembly High-Level Week, Kenyan President William Ruto argued that international financial institutions should act more as catalysts for African capital rather than simply as lenders. The intervention forms part of a broader African push at UNGA for reforms to global financial governance and greater representation in multilateral institutions.

Australia is preparing to co-host @turkiyecop31, but it's also allowing a major #coal mine to keep digging 55M tons of coal until 2055. Burning it could release around 120M tons of CO2 🟰 more than a quarter of #Australia’s current annual emissions ⚠️ https://t.co/K7QWD7Loh5 #Australia #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels #AU #TR

Instead of encouraging people onto public transport, they are driving people off it! Lowering fares and moving to free public transport should be a no-brainer, instead they're doing the opposite. In one fell swoop they are worsening the cost of living and climate crises! https://t.co/wCBu34R6wo #PublicTransport #CostOfLiving #ClimateCrisis #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet #sotherearenocountrycodestoreturn.

The world faces three existential threats: Runaway artificial intelligence. The climate crisis. And the intolerable deepening of inequalities. Next week, world leaders are coming together at #UNGA. My message to them: International cooperation is more important than ever. #AI #ClimateCrisis #Inequality #Nospecificcountrycodesmentionedinthetweet.

"This #summer's climate-driven extreme heat has killed tens of thousands of people, and hammered #Europe's infrastructure, businesses, and economies." 🚨 @simonstiell's climate warning to the world after a summer hot as hell 👇 https://t.co/gsuwcKXyJ1 @UNFCCC #climatecrisis #ClimateCrisis #ExtremeHeat #Europe #EU

Shocking to nobody. Next year will be warmer still - another record breaker. A bit cooler in 2028 but warming has already accelerated (almost doubled). We are not solving climate crisis. We are turbo-charging it. #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #ClimateEmergency #Nocountrycodesdetected.
