South Sudan has postponed its first national elections from December 22, 2026, to February 11, 2027, marking another delay in a vote that was meant to be the country's first since gaining independence in 2011. The electoral commission announced the new timetable days before the scheduled polls, with results expected on February 15. Officials did not provide a reason for the postponement, although concerns have been raised over preparations for the vote and the country's fragile security situation. The delay comes amid growing political and ethnic tensions. Forces loyal to President Salva Kiir and supporters of former vice president Riek Machar, who has been under house arrest since 2025, have been involved in deadly confrontations in recent months. South Sudan emerged from a devastating civil war that lasted from 2013 to 2018, but communal violence and insecurity continue to affect parts of the country.#dwafricasocialmedia #dwafricaaivoices #southsudantiktokers🇸🇸 #southsudanesetiktokers🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸 #kenyantiktok🇰🇪

Nigeria has issued a travel advisory urging citizens with underlying health conditions to exercise caution when travelling through Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, after 16 Nigerians reportedly died there this year while in transit. According to Nigeria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the deaths were linked to health complications associated with the city's high altitude. Addis Ababa sits about 2,355 metres above sea level, where lower oxygen levels can pose challenges for people with cardiovascular, respiratory and other chronic medical conditions. #dwafricasocialmedia #ethiopian_tik_tok🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 #nigeriantiktok🇳🇬 #dwafricaaivoices
