On February 16, 2026, Rabi Muhammad from Kano was arrested while trying to smuggle the opioids to Cotonou, Benin Republic, using the creative fake bump tactic. Videos show officers in pink uniforms carefully removing the device in a search room, as she stood dressed in traditional attire. The bust was part of a busy week for NDLEA, including an Ivorian man excreting cocaine at Kano airport, a real estate CEO with 89 kilograms of cannabis in Lagos, and raids across several states that nabbed hundreds more kilograms of drugs— even a 68-year-old grandmother in Edo. Chairman Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa praised the team's vigilance against these evolving smuggling plots.

After Israel recognized Somaliland's independence in December 2025, the self-declared republic invited Greece to establish a presence at Berbera, near a strait handling 12 percent of world trade disrupted by Houthi attacks since late 2023. The port, partly run by Dubai's DP World, has grown with rising container volumes, and analysts see potential for Greece's massive merchant fleet to help secure shipping lanes against threats from Houthis and others. While Turkey and Somalia oppose the moves, Greek commentators welcome practical ties in ports and security, though Athens has not yet responded officially.

Punto Clave

Somaliland's leaders reached out to Greece, calling it a 'maritime titan' to partner at the strategic Berbera port right by the busy Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

Gazetted on February 16, 2026, the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No. 3) Bill extends parliamentary and presidential terms from five to seven years, delaying the next election to 2030 and shifting the presidential pick to parliamentarians needing a majority vote.

A 90-day public consultation now runs until mid-May, amid planned protests, petitions for a referendum, and potential court fights.

Resumen Completo

Gabon's communication authority indefinitely suspended major social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and WhatsApp on Tuesday, amid teacher strikes and protests over living costs following a 2023 coup. In contrast, Kenya's National Assembly rejected a petition to ban TikTok, opting instead for stricter age checks, privacy safeguards, and data localization within four months to shield minors from explicit content and bullying. Lawmakers like Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah stressed that platforms empower youth and create jobs, favoring regulation over suppression as African nations balance digital growth with social protection.

Punto Clave

While Gabon pulls the plug on Facebook, TikTok, and others to curb misinformation and unrest, Kenya's lawmakers draw a firm line: no bans, just smarter rules to protect kids and data.

Ivory Coast, producing 40% of the world's cocoa, set its 2025/26 farmgate price at 2,800 CFA francs per kilogram in October, but global futures have crashed to around $3,500 per ton.
