AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Ebola Alarm: The U.S. has tightened entry rules for travelers from the DRC, Uganda and South Sudan, requiring Ebola screening at designated airports—Dulles, Atlanta and Houston—after specific late-May cutoffs, as the outbreak worsens and the WHO flags it an international emergency. Health Watch: Uganda confirmed three new Ebola cases while Africa CDC warned that 10 countries are now at risk, citing high mobility and insecurity across the region. Senegal Power Shake-up: Senegal’s President Bassirou Diomaye Faye sacked Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and dissolved the government, deepening uncertainty amid an IMF-linked debt squeeze. Tanzania Watch: Tanzania’s anti-corruption body arrested a fugitive over a Sh1.6bn copper scam, while the PM urged citizens to reject “proxy” forces trying to divide the nation. Finance & Trade: Moody’s lifted South Africa’s outlook to positive, and Ghana’s central bank pushed for integrated cross-border payment systems to make AfCFTA trade cheaper and faster.
