AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Human Rights: Burundi is poised to win another three-year term on the UN Human Rights Council on October 12, despite no competition for its seat. Human Rights Watch says the uncontested slate effectively guarantees the result, even as rights conditions remain poor. Trade: Hapag-Lloyd is opening a Kigali office to serve customers in Rwanda and Burundi, bringing the shipping company closer to local businesses. Regional Investment: AU Chair Évariste Ndayishimiye said security and value-added production are key to attracting investment as African leaders promote a new financing platform. Football: Burundi’s beach soccer team drew 4–4 with Uganda in the first leg of their AFCON qualifier; the return match is set for October 18. Burundi’s U-17 side, meanwhile, opened its AFCON qualifying campaign with an 8–0 loss to Uganda. Refugees: The World Food Programme is seeking more than $30 million to continue feeding Congolese refugees in Burundi.
