AFRICA DAILY REPORT — 17 SEPTEMBER 2026 Coverage: key developments reported during the previous 24 hours 1. SUDAN — UN chief demands accountability for foreign states fuelling the war Importance: 10/10 — CRITICAL UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for countries supplying weapons and other military support to Sudan’s belligerents to be held accountable. The war has displaced more than 14 million people, while a recent UN investigation says foreign weapons, technology, personnel and logistical support have enabled increasingly long-range attacks on civilians, including drone strikes. The intervention increases pressure on external actors supporting the SAF and RSF and puts foreign sponsorship of the war firmly on the agenda ahead of the UN General Assembly.

DR CONGO — Ebola response improves, but WHO warns outbreak is “far from over” Importance: 10/10 — CRITICAL WHO says containment efforts are beginning to show encouraging results, particularly in heavily affected Ituri, but the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak remains a major regional health emergency. More than 7,000 confirmed cases have been reported and the virus has reached a seventh province. High population mobility remains a major risk. More than 3,000 frontline workers have received Ervebo, although its effectiveness against the Bundibugyo strain remains uncertain and specific candidate vaccines are still being developed.

SAHEL — Jihadist violence on course for a record year Importance: 9.5/10 — VERY HIGH New ACLED data indicate that violence involving jihadist groups in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger is likely to reach a historic high in 2026. Recorded incidents involving jihadist groups rose from 63 in 2016 to 2,845 in 2025; 2,145 incidents had already been recorded this year when the latest assessment was published. JNIM and Islamic State-linked organisations are expanding their operational reach, reinforcing the Sahel’s position as the global centre of jihadist violence and increasing pressure on the region’s military governments.

SOUTH AFRICA–UNITED STATES — Pretoria rejects new US visa restrictions Importance: 9/10 — VERY HIGH South Africa sharply criticised new US visa restrictions targeting foreign nationals Washington says are responsible for racially discriminatory laws and policies. Pretoria says the US has misrepresented policies intended to address apartheid-era inequality. The dispute is another escalation in already strained US–South African relations, with Washington also excluding South Africa from the forthcoming G20 summit in Miami.

DR CONGO — Protests over constitutional reform raise third-term fears Importance: 8.5/10 — HIGH Police used tear gas and warning shots during opposition demonstrations in Kinshasa and other cities against proposed constitutional changes. The C64 opposition coalition argues that the reforms could ultimately enable President Félix Tshisekedi to seek a third term, while the government rejects claims that it intends to undermine constitutional safeguards. The confrontation adds a serious domestic political crisis to Congo’s simultaneous Ebola emergency and continuing conflict with M23 in the east.

SOUTH SUDAN — Kiir replaces election commission chief three months before planned vote Importance: 8.5/10 — HIGH President Salva Kiir has replaced the head of South Sudan’s election commission roughly three months before elections scheduled for December. The change comes amid serious doubts over whether conditions exist for credible polls, including political violence, shrinking civic space and the collapse of key elements of the power-sharing arrangement.

A joint technical committee is working on the expansion. The move strengthens East Africa’s cross-border power market and deepens the economic interdependence of two of the region’s largest economies.

SUDAN — fala ataków dronowych na Ed Damazin Znaczenie: 5/5 — KRYTYCZNE Seria dronów uderzyła w kilka lokalizacji w Ed Damazin, stolicy stanu Blue Nile. Rozszerzenie działań z użyciem dronów na ten obszar wskazuje na dalsze geograficzne poszerzanie wojny i zwiększa ryzyko destabilizacji rejonu graniczącego z Etiopią i Sudanem Południowym.

WHO 10 września potwierdzała 6 757 przypadków i 3 267 zgonów według danych do 7 września, przy bardzo wysokiej śmiertelności 48,3%. Kluczowym problemem pozostają słaba wykrywalność, ograniczenia opieki i trwający konflikt na wschodzie kraju.

BRICS — Chiny proponują mocniejszą integrację gospodarczą bloku Znaczenie: 4.5/5 — BARDZO WYSOKIE Xi Jinping zaproponował na szczycie BRICS w New Delhi pogłębienie współpracy w handlu, finansach, sztucznej inteligencji i specjalnych strefach ekonomicznych. Dla Afryki ma to bezpośrednie znaczenie, ponieważ członkami BRICS są RPA, Egipt i Etiopia, a część pozostałych państw afrykańskich rozwija status partnerski. RPA ponownie naciskała także na reformę globalnych instytucji i większą reprezentację Afryki.

NIGERIA–RPA — narastający kryzys wokół przemocy antyimigranckiej Znaczenie: 4/5 — WYSOKIE Napięcie między dwoma największymi politycznie i gospodarczo państwami Afryki Subsaharyjskiej pozostaje wysokie. Nigeria zawiesiła parlamentarne wizyty i udział w wydarzeniach w RPA w reakcji na przemoc wobec migrantów, w tym Nigeryjczyków. Spór zaczyna wykraczać poza kwestie konsularne i może wpływać na szerszą współpracę afrykańską.

LIBIA — USA próbują uruchomić nowy układ polityczny Znaczenie: 4/5 — WYSOKIE Administracja USA prowadzi nową inicjatywę mającą przełamać wieloletni podział Libii. Według Le Monde rozważany jest układ władzy obejmujący środowisko Haftara na wschodzie oraz obóz Dbeibaha na zachodzie. Plan może zmienić równowagę polityczną, ale jednocześnie grozi marginalizacją procesu ONZ i części społeczeństwa obywatelskiego.

NIGERIA — startuje IPO Dangote Refinery, potencjalnie największe w historii Afryki Znaczenie: 4/5 — WYSOKIE 14 września otwiera się subskrypcja akcji Dangote Petroleum Refinery. Oferta ma przynieść ok. 1,6 mld USD i finansować m.in. zwiększenie mocy rafinerii do 1,4 mln baryłek dziennie. Skala transakcji może istotnie wpłynąć na nigeryjski rynek kapitałowy oraz sektor paliwowy w Afryce Zachodniej.

UGANDA — pogarsza się niedożywienie dzieci w Karamoja Znaczenie: 4/5 — WYSOKIE Save the Children ostrzega przed dalszym wzrostem ostrego niedożywienia dzieci w północno-wschodniej Ugandzie. Według najnowszej aktualizacji liczba dzieci dotkniętych problemem wzrosła z ok. 122 tys. do ponad 154 tys., a około 38 tys. może wymagać pilnej interwencji medycznej. Głównym czynnikiem jest pogarszające się bezpieczeństwo żywnościowe i niedobory opadów.

MORZE CZERWONE / RÓG AFRYKI — rośnie zagrożenie dla żeglugi przez Bab el-Mandeb Znaczenie: 4/5 — WYSOKIE Postępy Huti w Jemenie zwiększają ryzyko zakłóceń w cieśninie Bab el-Mandeb, bezpośrednio sąsiadującej z Dżibuti i Erytreą. To jeden z najważniejszych szlaków handlowych świata. Ewentualne ograniczenie żeglugi uderzyłoby szczególnie w handel Afryki Wschodniej i Północno-Wschodniej, podnosząc koszty transportu, paliw i importu.

Jednocześnie na poziomie strategicznym rośnie znaczenie szczytu BRICS i rywalizacji o kształt globalnego ładu gospodarczego. W Afryce Wschodniej warto obserwować rozwój napięć politycznych w Kenii oraz zagrożenie dla żeglugi przez Bab el-Mandeb. Gospodarczo najważniejszym wydarzeniem dnia jest otwarcie IPO Dangote Refinery w Nigerii. #Afryka #africa #Sudan #nigeria #BabelMandeb #Uganda #libya #libia #Southafrica #brics #ebola #congo #kongo

O número de mortos devido ao vírus Ébola na República Democrática do Congo ultrapassou 3.300, com a epidemia a propagar-se rapidamente para além do seu epicentro na província de Ituri, conforme relatado pelo Centro Africano de Controlo e Prevenção de Doenças. #Ébola #RepDemiticaDoCongo #Saúde Pública

I saw first-hand in Ituri, DRC, that faster diagnostics were needed to contain the #Ebola outbreak. The 🇪🇺 continues to deliver: a new batch of rapid diagnostic tests is on its way to support @AfricaCDC & @WHO, helping detect cases earlier, speed up care, and save lives. https://t.co/RqJdGBxtUJ #Ebola #Diagnostics #AfricaCDC #CD #EU

Em mais de 2.000 pessoas morreram devido a um surto de Ébola na República Democrática do Congo, que já registrou 4.381 casos confirmados desde o seu início em maio, destacando-se a propagação acelerada da rara estirpe Bundibugyo, sem vacinas ou tratamentos disponíveis, especialmente na província de Ituri. #Ébola #RDCongo #SaúdePública

El brote de ébola en la República Democrática del Congo ha alcanzado una cifra alarmante de 1.916 muertos y 4.209 casos confirmados desde su declaración el 15 de mayo, convirtiéndose en el segundo brote más mortal de la historia, con una tasa de letalidad del 45,5%, afectando principalmente a la provincia de Ituri. #Ébola #RepúblicaDemocráticaDelCongo #SaludPública

L'Organisation mondiale de la santé et la République démocratique du Congo intensifient leurs recherches sur un vaccin contre la souche mortelle d'Ebola Bundibugyo, alors que l'épidémie a déjà causé 1.657 décès et que des essais cliniques sont en cours dans la province d'Ituri, malgré l'absence de traitements ou de vaccins prouvés à ce jour. #Ebola #vaccin #RDC

Het dodental door ebola in de Democratische Republiek Congo is in twee weken tijd snel gestegen van 999 naar ruim 1700, met het merendeel van de gevallen in de regio Ituri, terwijl het brononderzoek bemoeilijkt wordt door gewapende conflicten en veel patiënten zich tot traditionele genezers wenden in plaats van gezondheidsautoriteiten. #Ebola #Congo #gezondheidscrisis

Epidemia wirusa Ebola z gatunku Bundibugyo w prowincji Ituri w Demokratycznej Republice Konga, rozpoczęta w maju 2023 roku, stała się trzecią największą w historii, z ponad 2000 przypadków zakażeń i 750 zgonami, przy braku skutecznych szczepionek i leczenia, a jej rozprzestrzenienie jest utrudnione przez konflikty zbrojne i problemy z identyfikacją łańcuchów zakażeń. #Ebola #Bundibugyo #Epidemia

Epidemia eboli w Demokratycznej Republice Konga, szczególnie w prowincji Ituri, staje się coraz bardziej niekontrolowana, z kilkuset ofiarami śmiertelnymi, a Światowa Organizacja Zdrowia ostrzega, że łańcuchy transmisji wirusa wymykają się spod nadzoru, podczas gdy badania nad nowymi szczepionkami i terapiami są w toku. #Ebola #DRK #Epidemia
