Islamic State West Africa Province has been exerting pressure on communities and military positions in Cameroon's Darak district for over a year, aiming to extend control beyond its Tumbuma Mantiqa region in northeast Nigeria. A 5 February attack displaced over 2 000 people from Darak island, and the group has appointed three Cameroonian lieutenants to bring the area within its fold. ISWAP openly spreads propaganda at community gatherings, subjects locals to taxation and has attacked 10 military outposts in the area since January, prompting calls for reinforced operations and joint military action between Cameroon and Nigeria.
Chad's opposition faces systematic repression under DébyEight opposition leaders were sentenced to eight years in prison on 8 May for planning a march against governance problems, a day after the Supreme Court dissolved the Political Actors Consultation Group coalition. The jailed leaders join Succès Masra, imprisoned for 20 years in August 2025, leaving President Mahamat Idriss Déby's Patriotic Salvation Movement virtually unchallenged. Public demonstrations have been systematically banned for over six years, with around 200 protesters killed in October 2022, raising concerns about Chad's slide back to authoritarianism and potential return to one-party rule.
