AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Trade & Diplomacy: In Bujumbura, Tanzania and Burundi opened their first joint trade exhibition (May 20–24), with the Kigoma Regional Commissioner urging both governments to tackle non-tariff barriers to make cross-border commerce smoother—highlighting demand for Tanzanian wine, rice, fish and spices. Ebola Shock Across Borders: The DRC’s Ebola situation is worsening fast, with WHO warning of a “very high” spread risk nationally and reports of attacks on Ebola centres in eastern areas; India has issued a travel advisory, while ECSA-HC and regional health teams are stepping up joint border surveillance, including at Tanzania–Burundi frontiers. Xenophobia & Safety Crisis: In South Africa’s Durban, anti-migrant mobs have pushed hundreds of foreign nationals into church and police shelters, with groups demanding undocumented people leave by June 30—while migrants say they fear violence even when they have papers. Burundi Local Tensions: Burundi’s Great Lakes border towns are on alert as Ebola fears rise, and separate local reports cite a death in police custody after a violent arrest linked to Imbonerakure, plus renewed concern over sexual violence against minors in Rumonge.
