TOP RISKS FOR JULY: COVID-19 BITES AFRICA

   Wed, 01 July 2020

As the impact of COVID-19 increasingly translates into socio-economic pressures across the continent, July is likely to see a rising threat of related protests and attendant industrial action in several states, including South Africa, Mali, and Tunisia. The likelihood of politically motivated protests has also surged alongside contentious political developments in Burundi, the DRC, and Guinea-Bissau. A recent escalation in insurgent violence in Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado province, as well as the kidnapping of aid workers in Niger’s border region, indicate that the militancy threat remains pronounced in regional hotspots.
