LIST OF REASONS

A Sudanese war monitor has accused the country’s military of killing hundreds of civilians in an airstrike on Tur’rah market in Darfur . The attack, described as a "horrific massacre" by the Emergency Lawyers group, reportedly left hundreds injured. The market, located about 35 kilometers north of the army-controlled city of el-Fasher, was bombed in what activists are calling the deadliest single airstrike since the civil war erupted in April 2023. Videos circulating on social media, including those shared by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), depict the devastation, showing charred bodies and smoking remains of market stalls. The Sudanese army has denied targeting civilians, stating that its attacks are directed at legitimate hostile targets. However, both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF have been accused of shelling civilian areas throughout the conflict. The RSF primarily uses drones, while the army relies on airstrikes to target RSF positions across Darfu...

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) in Rivers State have strongly condemned the state of emergency by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on March 18, 2025. The organized labour groups described the move as baseless and unjustified, arguing that it unlawfully suspended the elected Governor, Deputy Governor, and House of Assembly members chosen by the people of Rivers State.

The non-payment of wages has left many workers in financial distress, exacerbating the ongoing economic challenges in the country. Furthermore, labour leaders emphasized that Rivers State holds significant economic importance in Nigeria, particularly...

Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court in Abuja has stepped down from presiding over the case involving suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan . His decision was prompted by a petition from Senate President Godswill Akpabio who questioned the judge’s impartiality in handling the matter. When the case was called in court, Justice Egwuatu announced his recusal, stating that the case file would be returned to the Chief Judge for reassignment to another judge. This development follows an interim order the judge had previously issued, which halted the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions from proceeding with disciplinary action against Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan. The disciplinary action stemmed from allegations that the senator had violated the rules of the legislative house. Justice Egwuatu had ruled that the process should be put on hold until the lawsuit was resolved. He also directed the defendants to justify why an order of interlocutory injunction ...
