Kenya Power announced that electricity will go off in parts of three counties on Friday. They plan to work on their equipment from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. The company let people know about this on Thursday. Three different areas across Kenya will feel the effects.
In Nandi County, power will stop working at Kabirer Centre, Kabirer Primary, and Kabirer Coffee. Customers in Kisumu County should prepare for no electricity at Muhoroni Market, Chemelil Factory, Kopere Market, Holo Kopere, and nearby areas. Kakamega County residents will also face darkness in Kakamega Town, Musoli, Shinyalu, Shimanyiro, Lubao, and surrounding places.
The power company calls this scheduled maintenance, which means they knew ahead of time they needed to fix or...
French President Macron asks Algeria to set free an elderly writer. The Algerian court just gave Boualem Sansal a five-year jail term. Officials claim he hurt the country by questioning its borders.
Sansal landed in jail last year because he told French media that France gave Algeria more land than it should have during colonial times. He also said Western Sahara really belongs to Morocco. During his time behind bars, the 80-year-old author became sick and needed hospital care.
Many famous people want him released. Nigerian writer Wole Soyinka, British author Salman Rushdie, and French officials all back him. A Paris area mayor plans to hand out Sansal books to every teenager turning 18 in his town. He believes Algeria attacked free...
AMD recently released the Ryzen 5 9600 as a cheaper version of the popular Ryzen 5 9600X. However, finding one might be difficult. Even a month after launch, stores rarely stock them. A new PassMark test shows how this budget six-core Zen 5 CPU performs compared to its sibling.
The benchmark reveals that the 9600X outperforms the cheaper model by just 2.2% overall. The 9600 earned 29,369 points versus 30,016 for the 9600X. Single-core tests show a small 3.2% difference, with scores of 4433 and 4581. This makes perfect sense because these processors differ only by a 200 MHz boost clock speed.
The two CPUs share identical TDP ratings, core counts, cache amounts, and base clock speeds. You can overclock either processor for extra...
Zimbabwe has a new army boss. On Thursday, March 27, 2025, President Emmerson Mnangagwa promoted Major General Emmanuel Matatu to Lieutenant General. Matatu will immediately take charge of the Zimbabwe National Army. Martin Rushwaya, who serves as the President's chief secretary, shared this news.
Matatu stepped into the job after Lieutenant General Anselem Sanyatwe left. Sanyatwe didn't go far—he became the Minister of Sport, Recreation, Arts, and Culture that same day. President Mnangagwa had already moved Sanyatwe out of the army two days earlier. Sanyatwe fills the spot left by Kirsty Coventry, who runs the International Olympic Committee these days.
Before his big promotion, Matatu worked as the Army's Chief of Staff for...

He has taken on roles that require diligence and focus in order to achieve meaningful outcomes. People often discuss his influence on national growth and cohesion.
His approach to leadership involves practicality and attention to detail. He has encouraged...
President Mnangagwa has made another move to strengthen his control by raising Major-General Emmanuel Matatu to Lieutenant General and putting him in charge of the Zimbabwe National Army. As the top boss of Zimbabwe's military forces, Mnangagwa recently removed Lt-Gen Anselem from his army leadership role and gave him a job as Sports Minister. Anselem takes over from Kirsty Coventry, who just became the new president of the International Olympic Committee.
Martin Rushwaya, who works as the Chief Secretary for the President and Cabinet, told everyone about this change. He said, "The President of Zimbabwe has promoted Major-General Matatu to Lieutenant General and Commander, starting right away." Before moving up the ranks, Matatu ran...
Zimbabwe leader Emmerson Mnangagwa fired a top general on Tuesday. Political experts say this move helps him keep control as fears rise about his former friends trying to kick him out. Mnangagwa grabbed power when the army forced out Robert Mugabe back in 2017. He faces increasing pushback from members of his ZANU-PF party, which has run Zimbabwe ever since the country broke free from British rule in 1980.
Veterans who fought for the country's freedom want everyone to protest across Zimbabwe on March 31. They hope to make Mnangagwa quit. These veterans blame him for making money problems worse and planning to stay boss after 2028, when his time should be up. Mnangagwa says these claims are false. He warned against troublemakers at a...
Zimbabwe President Mnangagwa just named Major General Emmanuel Matatu to run the army. Many people think he did this because he feared military leaders might try to overthrow him from power. Mnangagwa bumped Matatu up to Lieutenant General as part of the deal. The previous commander, Anselem Sanyatwe, lost his military job Wednesday but strangely became the new Minister of Sport instead.
Sanyatwe takes over from Kirsty Coventry, who made history when she became the first woman ever elected to lead the International Olympic Committee. The government claims everything happened legally, according to Zimbabwe's constitution and defense laws. Martin Rushwaya, who serves as Cabinet Chief Secretary, made these claims about the process being...
The cops in Zimbabwe have put lots of people on the streets to keep everyone safe. Home Affairs Minister Kazembe Kazembe told reporters Thursday night about these safety plans. He wants all citizens to feel protected when they go shopping, work at their jobs, or hang out with friends.
The police force has beefed up security across the country because they care about public safety. Minister Kazembe explained how the government made sure enough officers patrolled neighborhoods and business areas. These extra security measures help regular folks live normal lives without worrying about trouble.
Kazembe spoke clearly about how the security teams stay ready for any problems that might pop up. The entire police department remains super...
