Gift Sukali burst onto social media with angry claims about unfair treatment at Malawi's National Economic Empowerment Fund.

Each religious leader pocketed around 168 million kwacha without breaking a sweat. Young people like Sukali cannot even secure basic loans from the same fund. Sukali applied for money back in 2022 to build creative centers across the country. He wanted to help young filmmakers learn new skills and show their work. The ambitious project would have created jobs and boosted local talent nationwide. Sukali offered seven cars as security to prove he meant...

Ruto announces new appointments across key state agencies and regulatory boards

Ruto moved Githinji to lead Kenya Biovax Institute Limited instead. The vaccine company plays a major role making shots locally after COVID-19 taught Kenya hard lessons about depending on foreign suppliers. Githinji replaces Dr. Swarup Ranjan Mishra who lost his job at the institute. Treasury Secretary John Mbadi fired Susan Mambo from the Public Procurement Administrative Review...
Trump's unpredictability reshapes US alliances and global security landscape
Donald Trump shocks world leaders with his wild flip-flops and crazy threats. The president changes his mind faster than most people change clothes. He attacks America's best friends and hugs the country's worst enemies. Trump tells Canada it should become America's 51st state and threatens to grab Greenland from Denmark. Political experts call this the Madman Theory where leaders act nuts to scare other countries. European nations panic about Trump's weird behavior and pump up their military spending. NATO countries promise to spend five percent of their money on defense instead of just two percent. British leaders worry that America will abandon Europe after 80 years of friendship. Trump's team sends nasty messages calling Europeans...
