On this first African News Update of 2025, we bring news updates from Sudan, Somalia, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and Ghana. The destructive civil war continues in Sudan, and relations between Burundi and Somalia are rocky. In more positive news, Ghana became the fifth African country to institute visa-free travel for Africans and Zimbabwe abolished the death penalty. We also give our appreciation to the late Jimmy Carter for his lifelong work in sub-Saharan Africa.
