Does Climate Change Ignite Terrorism In The Sahel Region? - Axadle | Stay Informed With Horn Of Africa Headlines

A research project by the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) has concluded that while there is no direct link between climate change and terrorism in the Sahel, disrupted agricultural production and natural resource scarcity - caused by changing weather patterns - can spark localised intercommunal conflicts when communities compete for access and control of resources.Ã'  "And local conflict offers fertile ground for the establishment of terror groups," writeÃ' Djiby Sow andÃ' Fahiraman Rodrigue Koné,Ã' noting thatÃ' improving local and institutional mechanisms for managing resources and community tensions is "vital to reducing the scope for terrorist groups to exploit vulnerabilities".

UN Sounds Alarm As U.S. Halts Vital Support In Global Fight Against HIV - Axadle | Stay Informed With Horn Of Africa Headlines

The head of UNAIDS, Winnie Byanyima, has warned that deep U.S. funding cuts to global HIV programs could result in 6.3 million deaths and 8.7 million new infections over the next four years, reversing decades of progress. Byanyima said the funding freeze, imposed in January, has already forced clinics to close, health workers to be laid off, and drop-in centers to halt services, particularly in Africa, where 60% of new infections affect young women and girls. Several other UN agencies, including UNHCR, IOM, and UNICEF,  which are heavily reliant on U.S. funding, have also warned that the cut in support - in addition to chronic under-investment in humanitarian work globally - is already having a serious impact on the communities they serve. Byanyima urged the U.S. to restore funding, warning that abrupt cuts would cause a resurgence of AIDS deaths akin to the 1990s crisis.

Diabetes Prevalence In Africa Surges At An Unprecedented Rate - Axadle | Stay Informed With Horn Of Africa Headlines

A study published in The Lancet has found that the rate of type 2 diabetes is rising far faster among people in sub-Saharan Africa than previously thought. Researchers warn that millions more could be affected in the coming decades, driven by poor eating habits, lack of healthcare access, obesity, and physical inactivity. The study, tracking over 10,000 participants in South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, and Burkina Faso, found that living in peri-urban areas exacerbates the risk due to limited healthcare and increased processed food consumption. The International Diabetes Federation estimated 24 million adults in the region had diabetes in 2021, the study suggests the actual number could nearly double by 2045. Experts urge Africans to get tested and seek treatment when diagnosed.
