Burundi Justice Under Strain: Two new cases tied to FDNB officers are fueling fresh alarm in Burunga, after a captain was sentenced to 20 years for kidnapping, robbery and attempted rape, while other allegations include abuse and torture linked to the 4th Military Division. HIV Prevention Hits a Funding Wall: UNAIDS warns that sudden funding cuts are collapsing prevention and support; PrEP uptake fell sharply in Uganda and Burundi, and condom distribution dropped in Nigeria. Regional Health Threat: Lake Victoria Basin is facing an oxygen crisis as fish stocks decline, with nearly 40% of the lakebed lacking enough oxygen—raising risks for fisheries that feed communities across Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi. EAC Digital Push: East Africa launched a regional AI alliance in Kigali, aiming to stop national efforts from stalling at borders. Women’s Safety Spotlight: Burundi ranks among the world’s most unsafe countries for women in a new index, reflecting fear, displacement and weak protection systems.
