Rookie Black Stars Give Otto a Massive Headache
FIFA expert Faisal Chibsah thinks Ghana coach Otto Addo faces tough choices ahead. Key players missed the Unity Cup matches held in London. Five new players made their first appearances for the Black Stars. Ghana lost to Nigeria during semifinals but beat Trinidad and Tobago 4-0 for third place. Fresh faces caught the expert's attention. Regular FIFA windows rarely allow coaches to test untested talent. The Unity Cup gave Addo time to rest veteran players and examine newcomers. Several debut players performed well and earned consideration for future squads. Their strong showing creates headaches for team selection going forward. Chibsah wants to see these new players continue with Ghana. The Black Stars meet again for World Cup...
Sahel Drone War Fueled by Shadowy Ukraine Link
Terror groups across West Africa have started using deadly drones to attack government forces. The situation has reached dangerous levels as militants learn new technology from foreign trainers. Ukrainian instructors appear to be teaching armed groups how to operate these flying weapons through secret messaging apps. Burkina Faso and Mali face the worst of these attacks. Terrorists move easily through weak borders, especially between Mali and Mauritania. One militant leader named Bilal Ag Acherif used this same route before meeting with contacts in Paris. Recent drone strikes have killed dozens of soldiers at military bases. The JNIM terrorist group attacked a camp in Djibo during May, killing many troops and kidnapping families...

Wild Mining Chaos in Matabeleland South Cooperate Now
Government officials want small miners across Matabeleland South to join cooperatives for better business success. Minister Albert Nguluvhe spoke Tuesday with business leaders and miners about organizing their work properly. The minister said illegal mining operations damage the environment and waste resources. Small miners produce 40 percent of gold sent to Fidelity but remain outside the law. He urged miners to unite and form legal groups that can receive government support. Random pit digging across the province causes problems and cannot continue forever. Organized mining groups can access equipment and training that individual miners cannot afford. The devolution program has brought major improvements to the region under current...

Harare Pitbull Pack Kills Walker
A Harare man faces murder charges after his dogs killed a person walking past his home last Saturday. Mike Mupinga appeared before a judge on Tuesday for the death of Samuel Machara. The court will keep Mupinga locked up until Friday when officials decide about bail. Prosecutors plan to explain Wednesday why they oppose letting him go free. His defense lawyer will argue Thursday for his release. Police say Mupinga kept four dangerous dogs at his rented house on New Bluffhill. The animals were three pitbulls and one rottweiler that he failed to control properly on May 30. The dogs jumped over his low fence and attacked Machara as he walked down the street. The animals bit the victim across his entire body and caused deep cuts to his...
Zimbabwe to Cull 50 Elephants Locals Get Feast
Zimbabwe wildlife officials gave permits to kill at least 50 elephants at Save Valley Conservancy. The reserve holds about 2,550 elephants but can only support 800 animals safely. Officials moved 200 elephants to different parks over five years to control the population. The area has three times more elephants than it should have. Workers will give elephant meat to local communities for food. The parks authority will take all ivory from the dead elephants. Zimbabwe has one of the world's biggest elephant populations. Climate change makes the problem worse as elephants search for food and water near human homes. Last year the country approved killing 200 elephants for the first time since 1988. Officials gave that meat to communities...
Nvidia begs US to lift China chip ban
NVIDIA spent nearly one million dollars lobbying the US government during the first quarter of 2025. The chip maker wants officials to ease export rules that block sales of advanced AI chips to China. Government restrictions have hit NVIDIA hard since both the Biden and Trump administrations created new barriers. The company argues these limits could hurt America's lead in artificial intelligence markets. NVIDIA fears losing ground to Chinese competitors who make similar products. The Biden administration restricted NVIDIA from selling unlimited AI chips to most countries except 18 approved nations. Trump officials later added more rules that require export licenses for H20 GPU sales to China. NVIDIA expected to lose $5.5 billion in...
