In this power-packed issue, we delve into the seismic shift of the US 2024 elections, where Donald Trump defied the odds for an extraordinary, historic victory. Against all predictions—where many had their bets on Kamala Harris becoming the first female President—we dissect the issues, scrutinize the election process, and explore the growing influence of money in American politics. Over $15 billion was spent on campaigns and ads, raising urgent questions about the future of democracy itself. In the wake of this, we examine the rising anxiety among immigrants, whose fate hangs in the balance after Trump’s political resurgence.
We also take a critical look at Kemi Badenoch’s unexpected rise as the new leader of the Conservative Party in the UK—her reluctance to identify with her Nigerian roots has sparked controversy, despite efforts from the Nigerian Diaspora Commission to celebrate her achievement.
Meanwhile, Ghana’s President Akufo-Addo faces mounting backlash after unveiling a statue in his honor amidst economic turmoil, as his administration approaches its end.
This edition also highlights the inspiring stories of 10 notable African Americans who have traced their ancestry back to Africa, underscoring the profound ties between the Diaspora and the motherland.
In business, we shine a light on the role of Nigerian remittances in bolstering the country’s GDP, while also examining Ethiopia’s struggles as it adapts to the electric car revolution after banning the importation of gas-powered vehicles.
And in a deeper exploration of the African Diaspora, we reveal the remarkable story of a unique Igbo tribe in Equatorial Guinea that has shaped the country’s identity, amidst the political and social turmoil surrounding sex scandals.
This edition is brimming with stories that matter. Thought-provoking, impactful, and absolutely unmissable. Don’t miss out on Diaspora Watch #24 – the heartbeat of the African Diaspora, today!

Guyana Government Approves $123 Million For CARICOM Nations
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.
