US Deportations: The US Department of Homeland Security confirmed deportation plans for 355 West Africans under its “WOW” initiative, with Nigeria listed for 110 removals—the highest in the region—followed by Liberia (94), Ghana (30) and Senegal (19); the list also includes Guinea-Bissau (1) and other West African nationals. Electricity Push: The World Bank says a West Africa power programme has expanded electricity access to over 3 million people, building more than 4,000 km of transmission lines linking 15 countries and boosting cross-border power trade. Health Skills for Guinea-Bissau: Five Guinea-Bissau doctors returned home fully accredited as specialists after completing postgraduate studies in Venezuela, aiming to strengthen the national health system. Hunger Warning: WFP warns Guinea-Bissau’s lean season could worsen hunger and malnutrition, citing funding shortfalls that have already cut school meals and disrupted nutrition support for young children. Climate Finance: GEF funding approved in Samarkand will send over $67 million to Guinea-Bissau and other vulnerable countries to reduce flood/coastal risks and improve food and water security.
