Africa wants to end malaria deaths during the next six years. Climate changes and money problems threaten this goal. Weather patterns help mosquitoes spread the disease to new areas. Young children face the greatest danger from these deadly insects. Population growth makes the problem worse across the continent.
Scientists created a computer model that shows frightening results. Climate changes could cause 554,000 extra malaria deaths between 2030 and 2049. Dr Patric Epopa studies diseases at a research center. He says shifting weather expands malaria zones and hurts vulnerable people. Africa recorded 95 percent of all malaria cases during 2023.

Uganda's Democratic Party meeting turned into a fight between rival groups. Norbert Mao supporters faced off against Richard Sebamala backers during the Mbarara conference.

Mutenyo refused to put his name on the ballot because he failed to meet requirements. Sebamala supporters...
Thousands of people escaped eastern Congo and entered Uganda during recent months. The United Nations delivered 2.5 million dollars to help these refugees.

Many children battle malnutrition and diseases like malaria. The refugee camps need more shelter, clean water, and medical equipment.
UN officials say the money will help prevent worse problems...
