Police reopened the case against former officer Nickson Agasirwe after a killer confessed. Daniel Kisseka Kiwanuka admitted to helping murder prosecutor Joan Kagezi back in 2015. Kiwanuka told judges that a man called Nickson drove around town using a white government car and gave orders. Security sources believe this Nickson was really Agasirwe, who ran special operations against crime gangs. Officials confirmed they are looking at fresh evidence and might arrest him again.
Agasirwe worked as an assistant to former police chief General Kale Kayihura before getting locked up for bad conduct. His name appears on many files about illegal arrests and sending people back to other countries without proper procedures. Court papers from...
Kenya sent angry letters to Tanzania about activist Boniface Mwangi's imprisonment. The Kenyan government wants to visit Mwangi or have him freed immediately. Tanzania broke international law when it refused to tell Kenya where Mwangi was being held. Officials from Kenya say Tanzania must follow the Vienna Convention rules that both countries signed. The letter demands that Tanzania give Kenya access to its citizens immediately.
Mwangi traveled to Tanzania with Ugandan reporter Agather Atuhaire to support opposition leader Tundu Lissu at his court hearing. Police arrested both activists and refused to say where they were keeping them. Early reports claimed both people were sent back to their home countries, but activists say they...

Ugandan banks help more people buy insurance coverage. The country earned 1.6 trillion shillings from insurance sales last year, compared to 1.44 trillion shillings the year before. Banks team up with insurance companies to sell policies through their branches. This partnership made 179.48 billion shillings, compared to 142.7 billion shillings the previous year. Most Ugandans still do not have any insurance protection.
Equity Bank started a new health plan called Equity-Life for poor families. People pay 3,000 shillings each month for the coverage. The plan gives patients 50,000 shillings daily for twenty days after they leave the hospital. Seven out of ten Ugandans make less than two dollars each day. The bank wants these families to...
East African rights groups are angry about two activists stuck behind bars. Tanzania authorities are holding Ugandan reporter Agather Atuhaire and Kenyan activist Boniface Mwangi without clear reasons. The government refuses to say where they are being kept or why. Human rights workers want both people freed right away. They plan to march outside Tanzania's office if nothing happens soon.
Both activists came to Tanzania to help opposition leader Tundu Lissu at his court hearing. Lissu faces charges for speaking against the government. Police arrested Atuhaire and Mwangi, claiming they broke immigration rules. Mwangi could spend three years behind bars for staying at his hotel wrong. Rights defenders say the real reason was political...
Xiaomi built their new XRING 01 chip using advanced technology from TSMC. The company packed 19 billion tiny switches into a small space. This smart design helped them save money during production. The chip takes up less room than most competitors. Engineers made careful choices about size and cost.
The XRING 01 measures smaller than three major rivals. Apple's A18 Pro uses 110 square millimeters of space, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite uses 124 square millimeters, and MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 needs the most room at 126 square millimeters. Xiaomi kept its chip compact for financial reasons.
Making bigger chips costs more money to produce. Xiaomi will make fewer XRING 01 processors than other companies make theirs. The company picked a...
SWE Benchmark represents a groundbreaking way to test how well AI language models can handle real software engineering tasks. This evaluation system gives AI models actual coding problems from real software projects and measures whether they can solve them correctly. The benchmark uses thousands of genuine GitHub issues that developers have already fixed to create a realistic testing environment. It shows us exactly how capable these AI systems are at the practical work that programmers do every day.
How SWE Benchmark actually Works
The benchmark takes real bug reports and feature requests from popular open-source projects on GitHub. Each problem comes with the original code repository and a description of what needs fixing or...
Anthropic launched two new AI models, Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4. The company built special safety tools to prevent people from making dangerous weapons with these programs. Opus 4 works best for writing computer code and handling tough jobs, while Sonnet 4 helps developers with daily tasks. Both models think better and remember more than older versions.
Opus 4 scored high marks on coding tests and problem-solving challenges. GitHub will use Sonnet 4 to power its new helper tool for programmers. The models take fewer shortcuts when solving problems compared to earlier versions. They can run multiple tasks at the same time and keep track of files better. Anthropic added new features that let the AI run Python code and connect to...
