AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

EAC Security Push: The EAC has opened its major joint military exercise in Nairobi, “Ushirikiano Imara,” running to May 28, with drills meant to sharpen coordination for peace support, counter-terrorism, counter-piracy, and disaster response. DRC Frontline Shift: In eastern DRC, a fragile calm returned to Sange after M23 fighters pulled back, while reports say rebels repositioned toward Katogota—raising hopes of a pause, but not peace. Burundi Identity & Media Pressure: Burundi’s biometric ID card project is still far from reality as electricity and internet gaps threaten rollout, and journalists in Burunga say they’re being excluded from ruling-party meetings. Burundi Justice Under Strain: Gitega Central Prison inmates report near two weeks of food shortages, with daily rations reportedly far below what they need. Regional Health Warning: UNAIDS says HIV prevention and treatment services are faltering as funding declines, with sharp drops in PrEP uptake in Burundi and Uganda.
