In this edition, we celebrate historic milestones, dive deep into critical geopolitical matters, and explore the complexities shaping the African and global landscape today.

In a groundbreaking development, Ghana has witnessed history with the election of Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang as the first female Vice President-elect of the country. Her victory marks a new chapter in Ghana’s political evolution, setting an inspiring precedent for women in leadership across Africa. Furthermore, Former President Mahama triumphs in a historic political comeback, defeating the incumbent Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia in a highly contested presidential election over the weekend, signaling new dynamics in Ghana’s political arena.

Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has set the stage for a controversial four-year term, with plans to deport all undocumented immigrants. In an exclusive interview, Trump outlined his vision for a national crackdown on illegal immigration, further igniting the ongoing debate over America’s immigration policies.

In Europe, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has made a rare admission regarding the staggering loss of life in the ongoing conflict with Russia. Zelensky reports 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed, while also revealing the immense toll on Russian forces, with 198,000 dead and 550,000 wounded. This grim update highlights the devastating human cost of the war.

Diaspora Watch also critically examines the recent surge in foreign visits to Africa. Is this a new era of international cooperation, or a strategic maneuver for global powers? Our in-depth analysis provides key insights into the diplomatic shifts taking place on the continent.

In a move to strengthen regional stability and provide humanitarian support, Guyana’s National Assembly has approved $123 million (approximately $587,940 USD) for CARICOM nations, Diaspora Watch can report. This decision was made during the 89th Sitting of the National Assembly, where Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Hugh Todd, emphasized the government’s commitment to supporting its neighbors in need.

Diaspora Watch was told the funds will primarily support Haiti, which has been plagued by severe gang violence, resulting in over 2,500 people killed or wounded between January and March this year. Recall that the violence has led to a shortage of food, water, and other essential items, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. Minister Todd highlighted Guyana’s history of providing support to its Caribbean neighbors, citing the recent example of Hurricane Beryl, which devastated several Small Islands Developing States (SIDS) in the region.

Guyana provided contributions in kind to affected OECS countries, demonstrating its commitment to regional solidarity. The approval of these funds comes on the heels of a recent meeting between Heads of Government of Caribbean nations in Guyana, where they discussed the pressing issues of crime and gang violence in the region. The meeting highlighted the need for collective action to address these challenges, which have resulted in a 154% increase in regional security budgets between 2019 and 2024. In July, Guyana provided its first shipment of relief aid to Grenada, comprising vital items such as generators, water purification tablets, and hygiene products. This donation demonstrates Guyana’s commitment to providing tangible support to its neighbors in need.
