AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Cholera returns in Bujumbura: Four cholera cases have been reported in Buyenzi’s Swahili neighborhood (Mukaza), prompting authorities to push tougher sanitation measures—though residents warn the city still struggles with drinking-water shortages and dirty gutters. Healthcare under strain: In Butanyerera, patients with health insurance cards say key medicines are missing at partner pharmacies, while cash customers get served—fueling anger over “contributions without benefits.” Refugee aid review in Mahama: UNHCR, WFP and Rwanda’s emergency ministry have started a house-to-house assessment of living conditions and how food and cash targeting works in Mahama camp, after protests over contested social categorization. Burundi’s wider pressure points: Gitega also faces fresh concern after two women were found dead, while inmates at Gitega Central Prison report food shortages. Regional context: Across East Africa, security cooperation and trade links keep moving—EAC drills in Kenya and Russia’s new container corridor to Tanzania both signal the region’s push for connectivity.
