Russia's Supreme Court suspended the ban on the Taliban movement following a request from Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov. Judge Oleg Nefedov announced that the decision must be carried out right away, removing the Taliban from the terrorist organization register after 22 years.
The court met behind closed doors based on a law President Vladimir Putin signed last December. These changes allow terrorist bans to be lifted when groups stop activities against Russian interests. Despite lacking official recognition, Russia has actively worked with the Taliban government since it took power in Afghanistan in 2021.
The Russian Foreign Ministry stated this change creates opportunities for full partnership with Afghanistan. Moscow wants to...
Christians observe Good Friday as a day of prayer and quiet reflection, marking Christ's crucifixion. The name comes from passionate, meaning suffering. Church calendars place Good Friday beginning on Maundy Thursday evening, making it among the strictest days during pre-Easter week.
On this day, people skip entertainment like movies, television, social media, and reading. The church discourages scheduling weddings, parties, or celebrations because Good Friday represents a time of mourning. Most believers follow strict fasting rules that prohibit drinking until after 3 p.m., when some allow water, dried fruits, raw nuts, vegetables, and plain bread.
The faithful avoid work activities, including gardening, except for required jobs...

He met reporters in Mubende during his assessment tour, which started on April 15. The president urged the media to shape public discussions about regional unity and economic growth.

Museveni explained his situation as a cattle keeper who needs customers from places like Kampala, not just fellow producers. He emphasized that Uganda needs access to East African markets because internal ones remain limited. Regional integration...
