DR Congo Bans Kabila Party Over Rebel Links
The DR Congo government stopped Kabila's party from operating because it thinks he works with M23 rebels who took land in eastern Congo this year. Officials say Kabila came back after two years away in South Africa. Reports claim he went to Goma, a city that M23 fighters captured in January. Kabila ran DR Congo for 18 years after his father, Laurent, died from gunshots in 2001. Joseph was only 29 when he became the leader. The government banned all activities of his PPRD party due to its unclear stand on M23's control of Congo territory. They pointed out that Kabila chose to return to Goma, where his enemies shield him. The PPRD hasn't said anything about these claims. Last Friday, the government accused the 53-year-old former...

Ruto says national govt will fix our roads
President Ruto believes the national government should control road money. He talked about this at church on Easter Sunday in Narok County. The president thinks central management would make road projects work better across Kenya. When counties handle these funds, they often build small dirt roads that are completed quickly. Ruto asked leaders to let his government take charge of planning these projects. Governors have fought with lawmakers about who manages the Roads Maintenance Levy Fund. This argument has gone on for months, even reaching the courts. The dispute involves around 10.5 billion shillings meant for fixing roads. County leaders claim they deserve part of this money because they built roads, too. Some governors recently...

Ruku thinks voters should give Ruto another term in 2027 because good leaders deserve time to finish what they start. He warned...
Intel 18A about to flip the chip game
Intel wants to lead the industry with its new 18A process. The company showed impressive improvements at a recent tech event. This process offers 30% better density than Intel 3. It runs 25% faster with 36% less power when tested on standard ARM parts. The area works more efficiently compared to earlier versions. The chip uses PowerVia technology for stable power delivery. This new approach puts power connections on the back side. Putting wires underneath leaves more room up top for data signals. The design packs cells more closely together for better performance. Intel has caught up to TSMC's N2 process with similar memory density. These chips might first appear in Panther Lake devices. Clearwater Forest server chips should also use...
Low battery freakout starts at 38 percent
People start feeling nervous when their phone battery hits 50 percent and there is no charger nearby. A survey asked 2,000 Americans about this worry.

Older generations seem most relaxed about charging, waiting until about 34 percent before looking...
