Today in Africa — December 26, 2025: US Strikes ISIS in Nigeria, Somalia Votes, High-Stakes Elections in West Africa
OkayAfrica has scoured the Internet for today’s major news stories, so you don't have to. On Dec 26, coverage includes a U.S. airstrike on Islamic State targets in northwest Nigeria, Mogadishu’s municipal elections seen as a test for Somalia’s first direct national polls in decades, high-stakes votes in Côte d’Ivoire, the Central African Republic, and Guinea amid fraud claims, security concerns, and power struggles, and more.
But first, let's revisit the plot of the film:
'Us' follows Adelaide and Gabe Wilson (Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke) as they take their kids (Shahadi Wright Joseph and Evan Alex) to Adelaide's old childhood beachside home in Northern California for the summer. After a day at the beach with the Tyler family (which includes Elisabeth Moss and Tim Heidecker), Adelaide — who's haunted by a lingering trauma from her past — becomes increasingly more paranoid that something bad will happen to her family. As night falls, the Wilsons see four figures holding hands and standing silently at the bottom of their driveway.
The clip, entitled "Fear," we see Nyong'o's character Adelaide share with her husband Gabe that she's experienced a flux of coincidences during their getaway, Shadow and Act explains. Full of anxiety, Adelaide has a hunch that these coincidences may lead her to come across her scary doppelgänger again. Gabe then reassures his wife that all will be well, though she's apprehensive that he believes her.
Us is due to drop in theaters Friday, March 22.
Take a look at "Fear" below.
