South of Midnight cracks US top 10 list
South of Midnight broke into the top 10 most-played games in America during its first week, according to Mat Piscatella from Circana. The game reached number 9 on the player engagement chart for the week ending April 12, 2025. This represents a major win for a new single-player title without any previous series history. Most games at the top of these charts tend to be established live service titles that players return to regularly. The game launched directly on Xbox Game Pass, which explains why it missed the top sales charts. Player numbers matter more than direct sales for this release. Compulsion Games must feel proud seeing many gamers trying their new title. Other games in the top spots include Marvel Rivals, Call of Duty...

Gunshot residue test hits a snag in Katanga trial
No gunshot residue appeared on Molly Katanga's right hand, Dr. Jaffer Kisitu told the court Thursday. The government toxicologist explained that specific criteria must be met to confirm gunshot residue. He stated that chemical elements found on her left hand were consistent with residue but did not meet all required standards. Judge Comfort Kania questioned why the report offered no interpretation of these findings. Defense lawyer Elison Karuhanga pressed Dr. Kisitu about the results. Dr. Kisitu admitted that available data cannot determine which hand fired a weapon. He confirmed people can have residue simply from being near a discharged firearm. The court also heard that just having residue does not prove someone fired a gun. This...
Muswere Blasts Geza Shutdown Plan
Minister Muswere called Blessed Geza a terrorist after he asked people to stay home from April 22 to 23. The government official said Geza wants to harm progress in Zimbabwe. Geza appeared online wearing military clothes from a secret location. He told citizens to skip work as a protest against President Mnangagwa and demanded that all shops close during these days. The minister compared this to a failed March protest where police arrested 95 people. He asked Zimbabweans to ignore these messages from troublemakers. Muswere stated that social media should help development rather than cause problems. Geza claimed arrested protesters would soon go free. The police still want to find Geza for causing public violence. President Mnangagwa...
Geza tells MPs to stop messing with our constitution
A war veteran named Blessed Geza strongly criticizes three top officials. He claims they want to change the laws to keep the president in power longer. The Speaker, Justice Minister, and Prosecutor General reportedly aim to alter term limits until 2030. They also want parliament members to serve seven years instead of five. Geza says this group tries to avoid asking citizens through a referendum. Geza hides because he called for everyone to stop working starting April 22. He wants this shutdown to continue until President Mnangagwa leaves his position. He shared information from security sources about money being taken from national funds. Meanwhile, regular people face poor healthcare and broken infrastructure. The officials allegedly...
Stay Home Until Mnangagwa Quits Zimbabwe
War veteran Blessed Geza wants all Zimbabweans to stay home starting April 22. He asks everyone to stop working until President Mnangagwa leaves office. Geza thinks shops should give away free food during this time. He promises these businesses will receive money back later from the new government. He calls this plan the final push against what he sees as corrupt leadership. Geza claims Mnangagwa has health problems, making him unfit to lead. He says private meetings at the president's farm decide important national matters. Parliament leaders supposedly delay efforts to remove the president because they face pressure. Some lawmakers allegedly take bribes using public money to protect Mnangagwa. Geza tells them they serve the people...
Pope Francis Passes Away on Easter Monday
Pope Francis died Monday morning at age 88 after living with lung problems. He spent over a month in the hospital this year fighting pneumonia. For twelve years as leader of Catholics worldwide, he brought fresh energy to the church with his humble style. The former Jorge Bergoglio from Argentina chose to live simply. He welcomed everyone - poor people, refugees, LGBTQ+ Catholics - breaking with tradition. Francis often visited poor countries instead of wealthy ones. He worked to fix church money issues but faced criticism from conservatives who disliked his progressive views. Francis made key changes like allowing priests to bless same-sex couples. He fought against climate change, helped migrants, and spoke against wealth...
DRC Bans Kabila Party Over M23 Rebel Ties
The Congo government recently banned Joseph Kabila's political party. Officials claim he works with M23 rebels who control eastern areas. Reports say Kabila returned home after two years away in South Africa. He supposedly went to Goma city, which M23 fighters captured earlier this year. Kabila led Congo for 18 years after his father, Laurent, died from gunshot wounds in 2001. The interior ministry stopped all activities of Kabila's PPRD party because it seemed unclear about the rebels taking Congo land. They also noted that Kabila chose to return where enemies protected him. On Friday, leaders accused him of treason and ordered officials to take everything he owns. Kabila has always denied rebel connections. He became president at...
