Chad hosts about 2.28 million forcibly displaced people, including 1.56 million refugees. It is one of the world’s poorest countries. The crisis produces no events on any given day, which is much of why it goes unreported and underfunded.

Cameroonians are waiting to see who moves in a government reshuffle after President Paul Biya’s return. In a system built around one man since 1982, ministerial appointments are how political direction gets announced — and two conflicts sit underneath.

More than 415,000 people are displaced inside Mali, mostly women and children. Being displaced within your own country rather than across a border changes your legal status, your visibility and your chances — and almost nobody reports it.

The Bundibugyo outbreak in DR Congo has passed 8,116 confirmed cases and 3,924 deaths, the largest of its kind ever recorded. Uganda’s outbreak was declared over in August. The reason this one has been so hard to stop comes down to which Ebola species it is.

Sudan’s army says it killed dozens of RSF fighters at Nyala in South Darfur. Enemy casualty claims are the least verifiable figures any war produces. What can be checked is displacement — and Nyala is the hub that aid for the whole region passes through.

The UN’s humanitarian team and its peacekeeping mission in South Sudan have jointly called for civilian protection in Akobo, and Troika envoys have pressed President Kiir. These statements are written in deliberately flat language — which is exactly why they are worth reading.

Two cyclones in succession — Fytia and Gezani — have affected more than 681,000 people across Madagascar, Malawi and Mozambique, with 23.2 million dollars committed so far. The sequencing is what makes this dangerous, and it has gone almost entirely unreported.

Confirmed Ebola cases in DR Congo have passed 9,000 with over 4,300 deaths, up roughly 40 per cent in five weeks. The circulating species is Bundibugyo — the one the licensed vaccines were not built for.

Twenty-five years on, al-Qaeda has no single centre. Its capacity for transnational attacks has fallen and its local power has grown — affiliates now hold territory and tax populations in the Sahel, Somalia and Yemen. That is the anniversary story nobody tells.

More than 83,000 cholera cases and 2,100 deaths in Sudan since July 2024. Cholera kills by dehydration and is treated with salt, sugar and clean water. Deaths on this scale measure whether people can reach care, not how dangerous the disease is.
