Armed insurgents, bandits, militants and separatists have acquired weapons and are attacking, killing and raping members of communities.

Fido, a fintech company based in Ghana, has closed a $30 million Series A funding round led by Fortissimo Capital with participation from Yard Ventures and other private investors.
To improve access to financial services in areas with few banks, Nadav Topolski, Tomer Edry, and Nir Zepkowitz founded Fido in 2016.
"We are fostering a new financial culture in Africa," Fido CEO Alon Eitan stated. In addition to making financial services more accessible, we also want to improve them by making them quicker, easier, and more transparent.
Fido has developed an automated banking platform with distinctive risk management models that analyze hundreds of thousands of data points in real-time with credit insights, risk estimation, and fraud detection.
These allow for instant credit judgments even when customers lack prior financial records or bank access.
340,000 consumers in Africa have received services from Fido to date, and 1.5 million loans totaling $150 million have been made. Ghana is the startup's primary market, and at the beginning of the year, it expanded into Uganda. Fido has a license to work in the Philippines and has plans to launch operations there. The company is also considering expanding its operations elsewhere.
With this round of funding, the company has now raised $38 million in total.

On Tuesday, Liz Cheney and the sham Jan. 6 committee brought in Mark Meadows' former staffer Cassidy Hutchinson as a "surprise witness."
Young Cassidy testified that "she was told" that as then-President Donald Trump was being driven back to the White House after the Jan. 6 rally that he demanded to be taken to the Capitol and tried to grab the steering wheel from a Secret Service agent.
Hutchinson said Trump got into "the beast" after his speech at the Ellipse on January 6 with the belief that he would be driven to the Capitol.
According to Hutchinson, who received this information from Tony Ornato, the Assistant Director for the Secret Service, Trump grew angry after he was informed that he was being driven back to the West Wing.
The fake news media and Liz Cheney ran with Cassidy's explosive testimony.

Hutchinson said Trump traveled in "The Beast" over to the Ellipse that day.
But Trump was in the Presidential SUV not "The Beast."
Then this happened…
The Secret Service immediately denied the report and the agents reportedly announced they are ready and willing to testify.
NBC News White House Correspondent Peter Alexander tweeted–
A source close to the Secret Service tells me both Bobby Engel, the lead agent, and the presidential limousine/SUV driver are prepared to testify under oath that neither man was assaulted and that Mr. Trump never lunged for the steering wheel.
Liz Cheney and Cassidy Hutchinson also got caught lying about a handwritten note that Cassidy took credit for writing.
Cheney actually displayed the note during Cassidy's testimony and the witness said she wrote the note on January 6th.
Cassidy did not write the note because the author of the note took credit for writing the note.
BREAKING: Former White House lawyer Eric Herschmann says that it is not true that Cassidy Hutchinson wrote the handwritten note that she testified on Tuesday that she wrote. He says it's not true because he was the one who wrote the note. https://t.co/jBBtnOwzTn
And the author of the handwritten note already testified to the sham committee that he wrote the note!
For some reason, Liz Cheney ran with this anyway.
Donald Trump Jr. weighed in.
The handwritten note J6 Star Witness testified she wrote was actually written by Eric Herschmann. She flat out lied. The committee knew it because Eric testified under oath that he wrote that note. Cheney questioned him about it. She knew Cassidy was lying https://t.co/56vRvA64Uk

Former Trump White House lawyer Eric Herschmann is claiming that a handwritten note regarding a potential statement for then-President Donald Trump to release during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol was written by him during a meeting at the White House that afternoon, and not by White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News.
At Tuesday's Jan. 6 committee hearing, Rep. Liz Cheney displayed a handwritten note which Hutchinson testified she wrote after Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows handed her a note card and pen to take his dictation.
Sources familiar with the matter said that Herschmann had previously told the committee that he had penned the note.
"The handwritten note that Cassidy Hutchinson testified was written by her was in fact written by Eric Herschmann on January 6, 2021," a spokesperson for Herschmann told ABC News Tuesday evening.
"All sources with direct knowledge and law enforcement have and will confirm that it was written by Mr. Herschmann," the spokesperson said.
More… This was their "star witness."
