AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Publishing & Books: A new book by historian Selma Carvalho, Guts, Glory and Empire: The Epic Story of Goans in Zanzibar, 1865–1910, reframes Goan diaspora history as a product of overlapping Portuguese, Omani and British rule, using Zanzibar’s complex colonial crossroads to explain how a small community navigated shifting citizenship and power. Media Freedom: Nigeria’s journalist Stanley Ugagbe (Secret Reporters) was reportedly abducted and held for days, renewing alarms about arrests and harassment of working journalists and the knock-on effect for press freedom and democracy. Digital Publishing & Trust: A blogger tied to Igbo Times and INews, Ejike Ofoegbu Experience, publicly apologized and retracted fabricated stories about Anambra Governor Chukwuma Soludo and his son, admitting the posts were invented to chase viral traffic and revenue. Literacy & Libraries: Kenya marks National Reading Day with a renewed push for literacy, while calls for better-equipped libraries continue to surface across the region. Intellectual Property: South Africa’s Samro urges caution after a copyright court ruling, highlighting ongoing friction around rights management in the music and publishing ecosystem.
