Counterterrorism Shock: The US and Nigeria say they killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, ISIS’s global No.2, in a joint strike in Nigeria’s Lake Chad Basin, with Trump calling it a “meticulously planned” blow and Tinubu praising “effective collaboration.” Dispute Over Details: Human rights lawyer Femi Falana says Tinubu should verify Trump’s claims directly with Nigeria’s Defence Headquarters, after Nigeria had reportedly declared the same commander dead in 2024—fueling fresh confusion. Ebola Alert: Africa CDC has activated rapid response measures after a new Ebola outbreak in DR Congo’s Ituri, with reports of dozens of deaths and suspected cases, plus an imported case confirmed in Uganda. Digital Push: Zimbabwe’s IPEC and FSD Africa launched an insurance regulatory sandbox to expand access, while Africa CEO Forum discussions urged faster scaling of AI beyond “pilot mode” and warned against satellite internet dependency. Policy & Mobility: Nigeria begins a 30-day visa exemption for Rwandan nationals, aiming to boost intra-African travel and ties.
