AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Lithium & Sahel Security: A new report warns that the rush for Sahel lithium is increasingly entangled with jihadist activity, insurgency and cross-border smuggling—fuelled by weak governance across Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad and Nigeria. Kidnapping Update (Niger): American missionary pilot Kevin Rideout, abducted in Niamey in October 2025, has been freed and is in good health in the care of U.S. officials, with his family set to be reunited soon. Armed Group Claim (Niger): The MPLJ says it killed 15 Niger security personnel in an attack in Séguédine, claiming clashes with a National Guard camp and police/gendarmerie agents, though authorities have not verified the figures. Energy Deal (Niger): Niger signed a $1.9bn agreement to build a 100,000-bpd refinery and petrochemical complex in Dosso under a build-operate-transfer plan, aiming to boost refining capacity and regional supply. Connectivity (DRC, via Airtel/Starlink): Airtel launched Africa’s first satellite-to-phone service in the DRC, letting compatible phones connect directly to Starlink for limited services like SMS and light data.
