Chad has officially announced its withdrawal from the International Criminal Court, citing a longstanding pattern of anti-Africa bias within the tribunal. The decision, which could reshape the court’s jurisdiction across the continent, comes as N’Djamena accuses the ICC of disproportionately targeting African nations while overlooking alleged atrocities by powerful states elsewhere. In a separate development, nearly 200 people have been reported missing in Madagascar so far this year, prompting renewed calls for a national investigation into disappearances and abductions. Meanwhile, the historic medinas of the Comoros have been inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage list, recognizing the archipelago’s centuries-old urban heritage and its role as a crossroads of Indian Ocean trade and culture.
