AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Crypto Crackdown in Madagascar: The US DOJ says its Scam Center Strike Force restrained about $52 million in crypto tied to the Telegram-based Xinbi Guarantee network and helped local authorities dismantle 13 Chinese-run scam compounds in Madagascar, with officials citing forced labor and money-laundering services. Sanctions & Seizures: The US Treasury’s OFAC sanctioned Xinbi Guarantee and two supporting firms, while US actions also targeted Telegram channels and wallets; DOJ says the Strike Force has restrained roughly $938 million since launching. Climate & Education Shock: UNICEF reports climate hazards disrupted schooling for 171 million students in 2025, with storms the biggest driver—an issue that hits low-income countries hardest. Russia–Africa Soft Power: Russia plans to open more “Russian Houses” across Africa, including Madagascar, to expand language, education, science and culture links. Infrastructure Investment Push: Africa50 targets growing its infrastructure portfolio to $20 billion in five years, including power projects in Madagascar. Business/Finance Watch: Madagascar’s transitional president will lead a delegation to the Russia–Africa Summit in Moscow, aiming to discuss trade, investment, security, energy and technology.
