- An international arbitration tribunal has ruled that the United Kingdom is not required to pay Rwanda more than £100 million in additional claims linked to the controversial UK-Rwanda asylum partnership. The scheme, scrapped by the UK in 2024, was designed to relocate asylum seekers arriving in Britain to Rwanda for processing.
While the tribunal ruled in Britain’s favour, experts and commentators highlight deeper questions about the reliability of international commitments, the risk of sudden policy reversals, and Africa’s emerging role in global migration management.
Kelvin Chisanga (Economist, Lusaka), Vincent Gasana (Political Commentator, Kigali), and Austin Aigbe (Regional Advocacy Officer, WADEMOS, Abuja) examine the implications for diplomacy, economic cooperation, and migration governance across Africa.

- Nigeria recorded a sharp rebound in its external trade position in the first quarter of 2026, with the trade surplus skyrocketing 341% quarter-on-quarter to N7.55 trillion, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
