Accra is rapidly emerging as the center of Ghana’s digital transformation, positioning itself at the heart of a new African tech renaissance. With an ambitious plan to train 350,000 young coders each year and build an AI-powered society by 2033, Ghana is betting big on innovation to drive its future economy. But behind the bold vision are real challenges, from unequal internet access to limited ICT infrastructure in schools

In the dust-choked camps of eastern Chad, time is measured not in months, but in the distance walked. For Aisha, a teacher from El Fasher, the 1,000-day mark represents exactly how long her children have been without a classroom. Since El Fasher’s fall in late 2025, Darfur has become a landscape of scars. While the SAF reclaims parts of Khartoum, the RSF has seized the Heglig oil fields and encircled Kordofan. As the generals trade drone strikes, civilians trade their last possessions for grain. To help us understand the cost of this stalemate, we are joined by: Amira al Senussi, a Sudanese activist; Osama Ahmed el-Mustafa Mohamed, an author and media strategist; Shakoor Nyaketo, a journalist and rights activist; and Guy Josif, a genocide survivor and scholar at Georgetown University.

The host nation has arrived. After a tense week of high expectations and fan pressure, Morocco delivered their most dominant performance of the tournament, thrashing Zambia 3–0 at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium. Ayoub El Kaabi was the hero of Rabat, netting a clinical brace—including a sensational overhead kick—while Real Madrid’s Brahim Díaz scored for the third consecutive game. The win ensures the Atlas Lions finish top of Group A.

Nearly 1,000 days of war have dismantled Sudan’s future. What began as a fragile alliance after the 2021 coup has collapsed into a brutal power struggle between Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, head of the Sudanese Armed Forces, and Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, who leads the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and now controls nearly half the country, including most of Darfur. For more on the latest developments, we’re joined by Guy Josif, a Sudanese human rights activist and student at Georgetown University, who has been closely following events unfolding in his country of origin.

In a dramatic escalation of U.S. military involvement in West Africa, President Donald Trump announced that U.S. forces struck Islamic State (ISIS) targets in Nigeria’s Sokoto State on Christmas night. The President characterized the strikes as a retaliatory move against “terrorist scum” responsible for the slaughter of innocent Christians. While the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the strikes were carried out through “intelligence sharing and strategic coordination,” Dr. Edgar Githua, a security and diplomacy expert at Strathmore University in Nairobi, weighs in on the latest developments.

The holiday football festival is in full swing! From Salah’s late-game heroics to Nicolas Jackson’s clinical brace in Tangier, the opening round of the Africa Cup of Nations has lived up to the hype. Joining me for a deep-dive analysis is Mike Hove, a sports analyst and international broadcaster.

Tonight, we’re focusing on how Coding, New technology, artificial intelligence, and practical skills are reshaping opportunities across Africa—and what happens when knowledge is allowed to travel.
In an economy driven by data, automation, and AI, coding is no longer just for engineers. It’s becoming a core skill for work, innovation, and entrepreneurship. One organization working at that intersection is Coders Who Travel Inc., founded by Afia Owusu-Forfie, to connect global expertise with underserved communities—especially women—in Ghana and beyond.
Joining me for this conversation are Afia Owusu-Forfie, founder and executive director of Coders Who Travel; Prince Boadu, Program Manager for Supply Chain Data Centers at Google; and Nah-Abiah Al-Hassan, a manager at Ernst & Young and co-instructor for the Excel at The Coders Who Travel Foundation.

Over the past few years, the continent has seen a sharp rise in military takeovers—from the Sahel to West and Central Africa—reshaping governments, disrupting regional stability, and raising challenging questions about the future of democracy.

What once seemed like isolated power struggles has become a broader pattern fueled by governance failures, economic pressures, insecurity, and major geopolitical shifts.

To help us unpack this moment, we’re joined by Melvin P. Foote, founder of the Constituency for Africa and one of the most seasoned voices in U.S.–Africa policy. Veteran journalist Abdu Shakur Abudu, who has been following these developments closely, offers valuable insight into what these developments mean for Africa and the global community watching closely.
