The International Criminal Court wants to arrest two top Taliban leaders for hurting women and girls. Haibatullah Akhundzada runs the Taliban as their supreme leader. Abdul Hakim Haqqani serves as their chief justice. Both men face charges for crimes against humanity. The court says they have good reason to believe these two committed terrible acts.

The court says the Taliban created a system that targets women on purpose. They also went after people who...
Kenya faces disaster as government officials banned eight key bug-killing chemicals last year. Farmers across the country will lose massive amounts of money and food crops because of this decision. The Agrochemical Association of Kenya released a scary report about what happens next. Officials made the ban without giving farmers other ways to protect their plants. The country could lose one trillion shillings over the next ten years.
Crops will fail at alarming rates as pests destroy fields everywhere. Temperature increases make bugs multiply faster and cause more damage to farms. Coffee berry borers have grown 2.5 million times more since 1984. Tomato leafminers and fall armyworms attack crops daily across the nation. Most farmers say...
A judge refused to let Sarah Wairimu out of jail after she scared witnesses and tried to run away. Lady Justice Diana Kavedza made the decision at Kibera High Court. The court found that Wairimu had been threatening people who might testify against her. She even intimidated an armed police officer right there in the courtroom. The judge wondered what else she might do when nobody was watching.
Wairimu must say sorry for her actions before asking for bail again. She also needs to promise not to bother any witnesses if she ever gets out. The judge said witnesses are the most important part of any trial. Courts cannot work properly when people scare or threaten those who want to tell the truth. Protecting witnesses matters more than...
