It happened fast, and it happened this week. The legal shield that kept thousands of African immigrants in the country came apart piece by piece, and on August 18, the last piece gave way.

That’s when U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy lifted the final court order blocking the Trump administration from terminating Temporary Protected Status for more than 5,000 Ethiopians. It was really the last domino to fall in a chain that started back in June, when the Supreme Court sharply cut how much power lower courts have to block the administration’s immigration actions.

The Trump administration keeps striking deals with African governments to take in deportees who aren’t even their own citizens — a workaround for when sending someone back to their home country is too complicated or legally messy.

Liberia just became the biggest player yet, agreeing to accept up to 1,200 people over the next year. The first batch — 20 people, including Venezuelans and Cubans — is already on its way. Liberian officials insist these aren’t detainees but “guests” who can apply for asylum or leave on their own. The U.S. is reportedly backing the deal with $5 million to help Liberia build out its migration systems.

Diplomats have signed agreements in Washington, Doha, and Switzerland. Yet in eastern Congo, the fighting continues.

The central problem is not a lack of diplomacy. The parties remain deeply divided. Kinshasa views M23 as a foreign-backed threat to Congolese sovereignty. M23 says it is defending communities the state has abandoned. Rwanda points to the FDLR militia as an unresolved security threat along its border.

The State Department and Homeland Security are gearing up for what could be the biggest mass visa revocation in U.S. history: pulling business and tourism visas from as many as 200,000 people who came here on B1/B2 visas between 2016 and 2026 and later filed for asylum.

President Hakainde Hichilema has secured a second five-year term following Zambia’s closely watched presidential election.
The Electoral Commission of Zambia declared Hichilema the winner after he received about 61 percent of the vote. His main challenger, Brian Mundubile, finished second with approximately 38 percent.

Less than two years after the guns fell silent in Tigray, Ethiopia’s northern landscape is once again defined by artillery fire, drone strikes, and guerrilla maneuvers. Ground reports from The Globe and Mail and The Africa Report offer a rare, unvarnished look inside the Amhara region, where federal troops are locked in an escalating counter-insurgency against the decentralized Fano militia. Joining me is Tewodros Tirfe, Chairman of the Amhara Association of America.

When a government sends its soldiers into an active war zone thousands of miles away, the official narrative almost always leans on high-minded ideals: international responsibility, regional leadership, and global prestige.

So when Kampala greenlit the proposed deployment of the Uganda People’s Defense Forces (UPDF) to the Gaza Strip as part of an international stabilization effort, it immediately ignited a fierce debate over the nation’s foreign policy priorities and the true cost of projecting regional power.

As Zambia heads to the polls on August 13, over 8.7 million registered voters will cast ballots in a high-stakes general election pitting President Hakainde Hichilema’s ruling United Party for National Development (UPND) against a consolidated opposition coalition. The election is being conducted under a newly expanded constitutional framework that increases constituency seats and introduces proportional representation for women, youth, and persons with disabilities.

Tomorrow, 8.7 million Zambians head to the polls. But the big question is: Are voters feeling the effects of President Hichilema’s debt-restructuring wins, or will daily living costs drive an election upset? We bring both sides together on Different Perspectives—let’s dive in.
Joining me live on Different Perspectives are Oliver Shalala (UPND) and Muhabi Lungu (Opposition Coalition) for an unscripted face-off on policy, governance, and the nation’s future.

From Mogadishu to Gaza: The Ugandan Parliament just voted to send UPDF troops into the Gaza Strip under President Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’. Is Kampala pulling off a masterstroke in global diplomacy, or stepping directly into an unwinnable Middle Eastern quagmire? Let’s break it down.
