Last update: 12 hours agoJudicial Confidence Gap: An Afrobarometer survey across 38 African countries ranks Nigeria among the five worst for access to justice, with only 28% of Nigerians confident ordinary people can get court justice, and 59% expecting unfair outcomes—an alarming benchmark that also notes São Tomé and Príncipe among the countries recording worse results. Maritime Security & Illicit Trade: Indonesia says it has acted against 1,210 illegal-fishing vessels since 2021, citing potential losses of about US$895m; it also alleges a smuggling attempt using a vessel flying the Sao Tomé and Principe flag, highlighting how fisheries enforcement is tied to broader transnational crime risks. Korea-Africa Diplomacy: South Korea’s foreign minister held one-on-one talks with counterparts from 11 African states, including São Tomé and Príncipe, focusing on expanding cooperation in economy, defense, maritime security, and development. Children’s Rights Push: CEAST’s Pastoral Care of Children warns that despite national commitments, many children still attend school hungry and face barriers to maternal healthcare, urging government to implement pledges in daily life. Regional Freedom Rankings: Ghana is listed as the 4th freest country in Africa (and 46th globally), with São Tomé and Príncipe placed close behind in the same index.
