The Taliban have taken over Afghanistan’s capital city of Kabul, which means the entire country and its government are now effectively under the group's control. The presidential palace is also in Taliban hands after Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani fled the country, ending any attempts to form a transitional government. All commercial flights out of Kabul’s main airport have stopped, and as of this morning, there have been reports of violence in that area. Other countries are scrambling to get citizens and personnel out of Afghanistan, and the US has completely evacuated its embassy there. The US defense secretary has approved 1,000 more troops to move into Afghanistan due to the deteriorating security situation, bringing the number of arriving troops to 6,000. This whole situation follows the long US troop drawdown in Afghanistan, which experts predicted would lead to a Taliban resurgence. President Biden is expected to brief the nation on the crisis in the coming days.

Chadian President, Idriss Deby Itno joined the country’s soldiers in the frontline of the fight against Boko Haram terrorists in the country. Deby appeared in military fatigue last week as he led an operation to decimate the terrorists from Chadian territory.
What a great move from the president. The military men must take over some area in Borno state because that is the major area where weapons are supply to the Boko Haram. It is high time we overcome Boko Haram.

Local residents wear protective face masks on the streets of Lagos

"We are determined to be more aggressive in enforcing the measures aimed at containing the spread of the virus," information minister Lai Mohammed said in the capital Abuja on Thursday.

"Time is running out. We have a short window within which to stop this pandemic or face an explosion in terms of the cases. We cannot afford to be complacent."

The country has 51 confirmed cases of coronavirus and has recorded one death.

On Tuesday, Lagos, the nation's commercial capital with an estimated population of 20 million, advised residents to stay at home and only permitted shops selling essential items like groceries, medicine and life-saving products to remain open.

"I urge that all travel to and from Lagos, whether by air or by road, be avoided at this time," Lagos governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said on Tuesday.

Many residents resorted to panic buying on Wednesday as they rushed to stock up on food and other essentials in the face of Thursday morning deadline.

In Abuja the government has implemented a similar directive that will come into effect on Thursday.

"I am happy with the directive by government. It enables me to spend time with my family and avoid contact with people who visit my office," said a worker in Abuja who did not want to be named.
