  • Three Countries Officially Quit Major West African ECOWAS Alliance


    Three military-ruled countries have officially withdrawn from the West African regional alliance known as ECOWAS, the bloc said on Wednesday, defying pressure from the group to return the countries to civilian democratic rule.

    The alliance, the Economic Community of West African States, offers its members visa-free travel, favorable trade tariffs and access to a $702 billion market for the region’s 400 million people. The three nations — Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger — announced their intention to leave last year.

    Negotiations between their leaders and the bloc then failed to reach an agreement that would keep them in. Instead, the three juntas are forging ahead with their own grouping, the Alliance of Sahelian States, A.E.S. by its French acronym, and have created a military force of 5,000 troops.

    The three juntas presented their exit as essential for their sovereignty and portrayed the alliance as a neocolonialist force carrying out a foreign agenda.

    “ECOWAS and the jihadists are the same,” Assimi Goïta, Mali’s president, said on Jan. 10, referring to the extremists who have destabilized a vast area of the Sahel, the arid belt that stretches coast to coast below the Sahara. “The only difference is that some carry weapons and others do not.”

    Their withdrawal will weaken ECOWAS, which celebrates its 50th year this May and had 16 members at its founding. It will now have only 12: Mauritania left in 2000. Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, though not the most populous or economically strong countries in the region, account for more than half the alliance’s 1.9 million square miles and 17 percent of its 400 million population.

    The alliance said in a statement that it would leave the doors open for the juntas to return.

    But analysts say that the three exiting countries stand to suffer the most, including through higher prices, shortages of food supplies and political isolation.

    Niger shares a 1,000-mile border with Nigeria and relies on its much richer and populous neighbor for 80 percent of its trade. Relations have become strained in recent months: Niger has accused Nigeria, whose president is the current chair of ECOWAS, of supporting jihadist groups to attack it.

    Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso account for half of the world’s terrorism-related deaths, and the region overtook the Middle East last year to become the global epicenter of terrorism, according to a recent report by Global Terrorism Index. Some of the military juntas used the insecurity as a justification for seizing power, even though attacks have increased under their rule.

    ECOWAS responded to the coups with biting economic sanctions, and it has threatened a military intervention to restore civilian rule in Niger. But it was accused of having double standards for not punishing civilian leaders who cause political instability by postponing elections or changing their country’s constitutions to stay in power longer.

    A wave of coups has hit Africa in recent years, with nine military takeovers from 2020 to 2023 — a number unseen in decades. Most of them have been in West Africa.

    In Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, the juntas refused to yield to ECOWAS’s demands to hand over power. The sanctions, which were backed by Britain, the European Union and the United States, were eventually lifted, and the alliance tried to push for dialogue with the three countries, but the juntas were not persuaded.

    “They want to be let alone, not to be dictated how to run their countries or to be forced to hold elections,” Fahiraman Rodrigue Koné, the Sahel project manager at the Institute for Security Studies, a regional think tank, said in a telephone interview.

    The three juntas have lately severed ties with some of their key traditional partners, ending military cooperation with France and the United States, and imposing new mining laws and taxes to maximize revenue from their ailing economies.

    They have strengthened their cooperation with Russia, which provides them with weapons and mercenaries. And they have secured new contracts for China to run mining operations that were previously controlled by Western companies and to supply arms, according to local media outlets. Turkey, offering itself as an alternative, has also provided drones and mercenaries to Niger, state media said.

    On Tuesday, protesters took to the streets in the three exiting countries’ capitals to celebrate the withdrawal. But analysts said that most people in these countries did not support the juntas’ decision to leave.

    “Critical voices are suppressed,” said Gilles Yabi, the founder and executive director of the West Africa Citizen Think Tank.

    Across the three countries, the human rights situation has sharply deteriorated, with thousands of civilians killed by the military and state-backed militias last year alone, according to rights groups.

    But the Sahelian juntas have lately become somewhat less isolated. Ghana’s new president has appointed a special envoy to their new alliance, and Togo has signaled that it may apply for membership.



    In a surprising turn of events, three countries have officially announced their decision to quit the major West African Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) alliance. This move has sparked debate and speculation about the future of regional cooperation in the area.

    The countries in question, Ghana, Nigeria, and Senegal, have cited a variety of reasons for their decision to withdraw from ECOWAS. Some officials have pointed to concerns about the alliance’s effectiveness in addressing regional security threats, while others have expressed frustration with the lack of progress on economic integration and development initiatives.

    The departure of these key players from ECOWAS is sure to have significant implications for the region. Many are questioning whether other member states will follow suit, and what this could mean for the future of cooperation and unity in West Africa.

    As the situation continues to unfold, it is clear that the dynamics of regional politics in West Africa are undergoing a major shift. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.

  • Larry Rudolph Killed Wife Bianca Rudolph on African Safari


    Bianca Rudolph went to Africa to hunt big game — but ended up becoming prey.

    The 56-year-old was fatally shot in the chest on the final morning of a two-week hunting excursion in Zambia in October of 2016. 

    Bianca’s husband, Lawrence “Larry” Rudolph, a successful dentist with a practice in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, insisted it had been a tragic accident. He told those on the scene that Bianca had accidentally fired a shotgun while trying to pack it away as they prepared to head to the airport that last day of the trip, according to the “Safari Story” episode of Dateline: Unforgettable.

    The death was ruled an accident, but after Larry returned to the United States alone, cashed in on millions of dollars in insurance money, and moved his long-time mistress into his swanky Phoenix, Arizona, home, Bianca’s friends began to suspect something more sinister had happened in the African wilderness.

    “This was one of the most unique cases I’ve covered in my whole career,” Dateline correspondent Andrea Canning said in the episode. “Our team traveled 8,000 miles to Africa to find out what happened to big game hunter Bianca Rudolph. Bianca was comfortable around predators in far away places, but as any true crime fan knows, sometimes the real threat is hiding closer than you might think.”

    Who were Bianca and Larry Rudolph?

    Bianca and Larry met more than three decades before Bianca’s death, while they were both students at the University of Pittsburgh. Larry was enrolled at the dental school at the time. After tying the knot with Bianca, he opened his own successful dental practice, Three Rivers Dental.

    While Larry grew the business into four successful clinics operating around Pittsburgh, Bianca cared for the couple’s two children, Julian and AnaBianca.

    “Bianca was a really proud woman. She was wonderful and caring,” her friend Betsy Wandtke recalled. “She wanted their marriage to be the one that everybody looks at and says, ‘I want a relationship like that.’”

    The couple found a way to connect through hunting. Both avid hunters, they often traveled to Zambia to hunt big game at Kafue National Park, where they even had their own river-front cabin built.

    Bianca Rudolph’s last hunting trip

    In the fall of 2016, after 34 years of marriage, the couple headed to their beloved Zambia for another trip. Bianca, who was the only one hunting on this trip, had hoped to track down a leopard. 

    “She was a good hunter, she was a good shot,” Wandtke remarked. “She could handle a gun as well, if not better, than most of the men I know.” 

    But after nearly two weeks without any luck, the couple prepared to head back to the United States for a family wedding. 

    The day Bianca Rudolph was fatally shot

    On the morning of October 11, 2016, as they were getting ready to travel to the airport, their game scout, Spencer Kakoma, heard a shot ring out and rushed to the couple’s cabin. 

    “When I entered the cabin, I saw Bianca Rudolph,” Kakoma said. “I was very shocked.” 

    Bianca lay in a pool of blood. Nearby, her shotgun lay on the ground, still partially zipped in its case, although a hole had been torn through one end. 

    Larry was crying, asking, “What am I going to tell my children?” as he knelt over his wife. 

    Larry told Kakoma and camp manager Godfrey Necube that he had been in the bathroom when he heard the gunshot and that he ran out to find Bianca on the floor.

    Although he initially claimed he thought Bianca may have committed suicide, Larry later said he thought she had accidentally shot herself while trying to pack up the weapon.

    Bianca’s body was taken to Lusaka, Zambia’s capital city, which was about four hours away from couple’s cabin, to undergo an autopsy. Larry insisted that his devout Catholic wife be cremated and left Africa less than a week later, without telling the couple’s children of their mother’s tragic fate. 

    Zambian police ruled that Bianca died after the weapon accidentally discharged. 

    Larry cashed in on $4.8 million in life insurance policies and continued to manage his thriving Pittsburgh dental practices remotely from Phoenix, where he and Bianca had built a lavish home. His staff was instructed not to mention his wife’s death. 

    Larry Rudolph’s staff suspicious of his wife’s death

    It seemed as if life was going on for Larry, but some of the people who knew the couple were not convinced his wife’s death had been an accident.

    Larry’s former office manager Anna Grimley knew that for years, Larry, known to those he worked with as having a volatile temper, had been carrying on an affair with an employee at his dental office, Lori Milliron. 

    Milliron had once told Grimley about the affair and confessed they had plans to move away with loads of cash that they’d received from the business. According to Grimley, Milliron also told her that she’d given Larry a deadline to end his marriage. 

    “What she said to me is, ‘He has a year to get rid of Bianca,’ is what she gave him, one year,” Grimley said. “Or she’s leaving.”

    Larry Rudolph’s mistress moves in with him

    Just months after Bianca was fatally shot, Milliron moved in with Larry at his Phoenix property.

    By that time, Grimley was living in Las Vegas and was no longer connected to the dental office, but she couldn’t shake her suspicions and called the FBI to tell them, “Somebody needs to look into it.” 

    “You know, just take a look at everything that’s happened,” she told Dateline.

    Grimley was shocked to learn she wasn’t the only one who had called the federal investigators. One of Bianca’s close friends had also reached out to them because she was convinced that Bianca would never have wanted to be cremated.

    Clues suggest Bianca Rudolph’s death wasn’t an accident

    Federal authorities headed to Zambia and launched an investigation into Bianca’s death. Aside from the large insurance payout and Larry’s girlfriend on the side, investigators learned that those on the scene of Bianca’s death that morning had noticed some troubling clues.

    Kakoma, the game scout, said that although Larry told him he’d been in the shower when he wife was shot, when he arrived at the cabin just seconds after the gunshot rang out, Larry had been fully clothed. 

    “How can he manage to put on everything? Shoes, t-shirt and jeans, a belt,” Kakoma said. ‘So, to me… it was like a puzzle.”

    Kakoma also said he was a “hundred percent” certain that he saw Bianca cleaning her gun the night before, meaning someone must have re-loaded the weapon that morning.

    Investigators were also unnerved by the speed in which Larry had wanted his wife’s body cremated. After an official autopsy was conducted, police in Zambia wanted to conduct their own post-mortem exam, but Larry refused.

    RELATED: P.Diddy’s Connection to Deadly NYC Tragedy: “It Almost Made Him in a Real Weird Way”

    When authorities called the U.S. consulate to report the death and Larry’s insistence that his wife be cremated — an uncommon practice in the African country — the consulate general was unsettled and rushed to the funeral home with two security agents to take photos of the body before it was cremated.

    “He’s a former Marine and has seen gunshot wounds and looks at this and says, ‘This doesn’t look like a self-inflicted wound to me,’” former FBI Agent Pam Flick, who consulted on the case for Dateline, explained.

    The FBI also conducted its own ballistics tests and concluded the weapon had likely been between 1 to 3 feet away when it was fired, making it impossible for the large rifle to have been pressed into Bianca as she tried to zip up the carrying case. 

    Another stunning development came from Phoenix-area bartender Brian Lovelace. Lovelace reported overhearing Larry tell Milliron, “I killed my f–king wife for you,” one evening during a heated argument while the pair sat at the bar of a popular steakhouse.

    “I’m 100% sure, there’s definitely no doubt,” Lovelace said of the words he heard that night. “It was crystal clear.”

    Larry Rudolph arrested for wife’s murder

    Federal authorities concluded that Larry had killed his wife to cash in on the life insurance policies and continue his love affair with Milliron. He was arrested in December of 2021, more than five years after Bianca’s death.

    Milliron was called to testify before a grand jury about her relationship with the successful dentist. Six weeks later, she found herself under arrest as well for obstruction of justice, perjury while on the stand, and being an accessory after the fact.

    The pair went on trial together in July of 2022. Larry was convicted of premeditated murder and mail fraud and was sentenced to life in prison. Lori was convicted of being an accessory after the fact for murder, obstruction of justice, and some of the perjury charges against her. She was sentenced to 17 years behind bars. 

    Bianca and Larry’s children initially stood behind their father, even once issuing a statement about his innocence. But Julian told ABC News in 2023 that his view changed after the trial.

    “I can’t stand by that original statement, because that was before we saw the evidence in the trial,” he told the news outlet.

  • What Is Bilal Coulibaly’s Ethnicity? Everything to Know About Wizard Star’s African Roots


    Just a year ago, Washington Wizards star Bilal Coulibaly was able to walk around anywhere he wanted to, without anyone paying any attention to the 6-foot-8 guard.

  • Michael Osei, Issa Hayatou, and other notable African sports icons who died in 2024

    Michael Osei, Issa Hayatou, and other notable African sports icons who died in 2024


    Michael Osei [L]; Issa Hayatou [M]; Rebecca Cheptegei [R] Michael Osei [L]; Issa Hayatou [M]; Rebecca Cheptegei [R]

    The year 2024 saw the African sporting fraternity mourning the shocking deaths of some of the continent’s greatest and most iconic figures.

    From world champions to football stars and record holders, many lives were tragically lost.

    Below is a list of some notable figures in African sports who passed away in 2024:

    Michael Osei

    On November 15, 2024, Asante Kotoko announced the passing of their former player and coach, Michael Osei, at the age of 53.

    Reports indicated that Osei died in London on Friday, November 15, 2024, after battling a heart condition in recent months.

    During his playing days, he was considered one of Ghana’s finest midfielders. He began his football journey with Okwawu United before achieving legendary status with Asante Kotoko.

    As a coach, Osei led Asante Kotoko and several other top-flight Ghanaian clubs, including Liberty Professionals and Bibiani Gold Stars, whom he last managed before traveling abroad in 2023.

    His death marked the end of a remarkable career in Ghanaian football.

    Issa Hayatou

    Issa Hayatou, the former president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), dedicated much of his life to sports administration and was a pioneer in transforming CAF.

    Hayatou also served as the interim president of FIFA following the bribery scandal involving former president Sepp Blatter.

    Despite his achievements, he faced bribery allegations, including accusations of accepting bribes during Qatar’s bid for the 2022 World Cup.

    He stepped down as CAF president in 2017 after 29 years of service, having assumed the role in 1988.

    Hayatou passed away in August 2024 at the age of 77, leaving behind a complex legacy in African football.

    Rebecca Cheptegei

    Rebecca Cheptegei’s death shocked the world. After competing in the women’s marathon at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she finished 44th, the Ugandan sprinter returned home only to meet a tragic end.

    Cheptegei succumbed to injuries sustained after being doused in petrol and set on fire by a former boyfriend.

    Reports indicate that the argument stemmed from a land dispute in northwest Kenya, where she lived and trained.

    She passed away in the hospital at the age of 33, leaving the sports world mourning her untimely death.

    Rachid Mekhloufi

    Rachid Mekhloufi was a legendary figure in African football, known for his role in Algeria’s fight for independence.

    In 1958, he quit French club Saint-Étienne to join the Algerian national team in a move that raised global awareness of Algeria’s bid for independence, which was achieved in 1962.

    Mekhloufi declined the opportunity to play for France in the 1958 FIFA World Cup to support his homeland’s cause.

    Later, he coached Algeria and was part of the coaching team that led Algeria to a historic victory against Germany at the 1982 World Cup.

    He also served as president of the Algerian Football Federation.

    Mekhloufi passed away in November 2024 at the age of 88, leaving behind a legacy that transcends sports.

    These remarkable individuals made lasting contributions to the continent’s sporting landscape.

    As we remember and honor their lives, their legacies will continue to inspire future generations and shape the trajectory of African sports for years to come.
