More and more reports say African men are traveling to Russia for what they believe are job opportunities, only to be sent to fight in Russia’s war on Ukraine. Ghana’s government estimates at least 55 Ghanaians have died after being “lured into battle.” 272 are believed to have been recruited since 2022. Moscow has rejected accusations of unlawful recruitment. Hundreds of men from across Africa have reportedly been lured into fighting Russia’s war, including over 1,000 Kenyans. A recent CNN investigation alleged people across Africa have been promised civilian jobs with high salaries and Russian citizenship before being forced into battle after just weeks of training. Many have endured racial abuse by Russian officers. Scores have been killed, and many are currently prisoners of war in Ukraine. #Ghana #Africa #Russia #Ukraine #HumanRights

“Time's up, fake leaders. Game over. We'll ring the bell on 5 March." Those are the lyrics to a song by a rapper-turned-politician in Nepal. Balendra Shah, or Balen, once rapped about corruption. Now, he’s going up against the country’s political class in the race for prime minister. After the Gen Z protests in September 2025 forced Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to resign, Nepal is headed into a historic election. Voters will decide whether the voice of a movement can become the face of government. #Nepal #BalendraShah #NepalProtests #GenZProtests #NepalPolitics
