Oligui Rides Wave of Support Two Years After Coup
General Brice Oligui Nguema went from unknown military man to Gabon's leader after troops carried him through streets chanting his name. He spent ten years away from Gabon before returning quietly to rise through army ranks. The general became interim president after overthrowing Ali Bongo, who had ruled with his family for almost 56 years. He plans to win April's election with his catchy "C'BON" campaign slogan, dancing for supporters as "The Power" plays. The 50-year-old trained at Morocco's top military academy before joining Gabon's Republican Guard. He served as Omar Bongo's assistant until 2009, when Ali Bongo took power. After being sent abroad as a military attaché, he came back in 2018 and rose quickly to head the Republican...

Ubisoft Fights Lawsuit Over The Crew Server Shutdown
Ubisoft fights back against angry gamers who sued when The Crew servers shut down. The company claims players never actually bought games - they just paid for permission to play them temporarily. California players filed the lawsuit last November feeling cheated because ads made it seem like purchasing gave permanent access. Game boxes promised activation until 2099 but servers closed much earlier. Company lawyers point to license agreements everyone accepts when installing games. They call the lawsuit "baseless" because players should have known better. Virtual money became worthless after servers died which might break California prepaid card rules. Judges will hear more arguments April 29 which could change everything about the...

Fraudster Who Faked Voices of Imams and President Fined and Jailed
A swindler must pay back $180,000 plus a fine after tricking someone for years. Alagie Dikko pretended he was religious leaders through phone calls asking for cash. He claimed the money would help orphans, build gardens, plus drill water wells across communities. From 2018 until 2025, Dikko fooled Ousainou Mahanera with fake voices mimicking Imam Chebou Cham, Imam Fatty, even President Barrow. The con started when both men attended Arabic school together.
