AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoHeat Risk: A new Climate Impact Lab report warns “Super El Niño” could add about 451,000 heat-related deaths worldwide by Feb 2027, with the Sahel hit hardest—projecting extra deaths in Nigeria (31,400), Sudan (17,500), Niger (10,000) and Chad (8,000). Energy Access: Afrobarometer data shows fewer than half of Africans get reliable electricity; in Chad only 3% report power that works most or all of the time, while Nigeria also ranks near the bottom. Transport & Security: Insecurity is choking the Cameroon–Chad trade corridor as Boko Haram-linked attacks and kidnappings surge along the Yaoundé–Kousséri–N’Djamena highway, worsening already-poor road conditions. Infrastructure Contracts: Chinese firms hold about 66% of major road contract value in Cameroon’s Adamawa, North and Far North, but progress is slow on several projects. Regional Conflict Tech: Coverage on Sudan highlights how foreign backers—especially the UAE—are tied to the RSF/SAF war economy, including gold flows that help sustain fighting.
